Purple-Robed Marquis

Chen Lingxi a deep breath, feeling a sense of astonishment.

He had previously Sight-Roaming Lin Suri and sensed that the array of Myriad Realms Projection was not yet fully constructed.

At this moment, the figure in red appeared as a projection, its combat power limited by the formation, unable to exert much of its influence.

Even so... it remains incredibly powerful.

"If the formation is fully set up, and the Dao-Below Academy projects its image, it is unknown whether that projected avatar possesses the strength to the Qi Circulation Realm."

Chen Lingxi filled with emotion, but her eyes revealed undisguised surprise.

"Fellow Daoist actually... possesses such profound knowledge?"

He looked Lin Suri up and down. "In that case, wouldn't my special trip to rescue you have only made you laugh?"

Lin Suri shook his head. "Fellow Daoist's remembrance of the past is a kind gesture; how could I not know?"

Chen Lingxi laughed heartily, appearing quite forthright.

He took the first step, gazing at Wu Mohe in the far distance.

The mask on Wu Mohe's face remained unchanged, and a vortex of sword intent was brewing around his body, which had expanded to several feet in diameter.

It contained both the overflowing aura of Sword Qi and a chilling murderous intent, making one's scalp tingle.

Chen Lingxi, however, seemed completely unafraid, as he drew the Thunderlight Sword from his waist.

The sword was drawn, and rolling lightning followed, turning the surrounding Void a deep blue.

"Alright!"

Chen Lingxi's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit. "Today, you and I, brothers, will join forces to slay these villains, and then we can discuss the ownership of the Cauldron Artifact Fragment."

As he spoke, his spiritual energy roared, Thunder Treasure Qi Profound Edge Qi flowed out, making him look like an immortal draped in three-colored radiance.

His imposing presence was almost on par with that of Wu Mohe.

"I'm here to kill Wu Mohe; Fellow Daoist Lin, please deal with those ordinary people for me!"

Chen Lingxi stepped forward, her eyes brimming with confidence.

Lin Suri was taken aback upon hearing this, and shook his head, saying, "That Wu Mohe is at the Tenth-Floor Realm, and his foundation is profound... Why don't I kill him?"

Chen Lingxi shook his head resolutely and said frankly, "If you want to hone your supernatural Divine Ability and improve your cultivation, you must naturally face the strong."

If this Wu Mohe is stronger, I naturally won't take the risk.

But this Wu Mohe is only one level above me, which is perfect for me to use to hone my cultivation."

As he finished speaking, a more confident look appeared on his face. Perhaps fearing that Lin Suri might worry, he added, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry. To be honest, I am naturally gifted, and now, having Mother Qi and the gift of the Spirit Aperture, my spiritual energy is absolutely not afraid of that Wu Mohe!"

As he spoke, the thunder on his sword intensified. "I killed Shi Hong not long ago, and killing him greatly benefited my cultivation of Divine Ability."

"Wu Mohe... I will kill him!"

Lin Suri thought for a moment, then, sensing the numerous spiritual energies that had rushed in, he nodded slightly.

At this moment, Wu Mohe and his group were approaching from several directions.

After receiving the blessing of his red-robed senior uncle, Lin Suri's Divine Sense and perception became several times more acute than before.

At that moment, he suddenly gazed at the distant mountains and forests, and a method of Qi Observation slowly flowed in his eyes.

The aura emanating from the distant mountains and forests immediately caught his eye.

The hidden yet extraordinary aura within it caught his eye.

"The Quexing Xi Family... Xi Yu."

Lin Suri shook his head. "This person, like the previous Fellow Daoist Lin, is hiding a hundred miles away from the Cauldron Vessel."

Looking back now, I realize I probably wanted to be the one who reaps the benefits.

"Very well, let Fellow Daoist Chen kill Wu Mohe, and I will shield him from these hidden arrows."

Unbeknownst to them, the strongest individuals who had come to vie for the Slaying-Force Cauldron had all gathered here.

Wu Mohe, Emperor Bow Earl, the three women from the Heavenly Boat, and two cultivators from the Eighth Floor seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and surrounded Chen Lingxi. They probably wanted to first eliminate the ownership of the Cauldron Vessel that the Credit Peddler had predicted, which was Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi and Lin Suri stood still, waiting calmly, without a trace of fear in their eyes.

Chen Lingxi Sight-Roaming the opportunity, used her persuasive skills and put on a show, and gained Lin Suri's trust, no longer fighting alone.

But... just as Chen Lingxi was about to kill everyone present...

An unexpected change occurred!

But then, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the distant mountains and forests!

The forest, spanning dozens of meters in circumference, was snapped in half by an extremely terrifying force, sending billowing dust soaring into the sky!

At the same time, equally terrifying fluctuations of Qi and Blood surged forth.

From within the thick smoke and dust, a white-haired figure, with his hands behind his back, stood atop a long spear shaft and sped towards them.

The spear was extremely long, measuring two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) in length! The shaft was as thick as a woman's arm, and the tip of the spear pulsed with unimaginable and astonishing Qi and Blood!

When Chen Lingxi saw the white-haired figure, her pupils immediately narrowed.

He had already met this person when Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye.

That was the white-haired, Purple-Robed Marquis!

At this moment, the spear seemed to be thrown with great force, making a loud noise and rushing towards us as fast as a meteor falling from the sky!

The thick, rich Qi and Blood, accompanied by a long halo, crashed towards this spot with a deafening roar.

On their journey, several unfortunate Qi Circulation Realm cultivators never expected that such a terrifying Qi and Blood cultivator would charge towards them.

Wherever that great spear passed, its Killing Power reached its peak.

Those unfortunate individuals almost simultaneously groaned, coughed up blood, and fainted.

The white-haired, Purple-Robed Marquis remained standing with his hands behind his back on the spear shaft, his robes fluttering and his white hair swaying in the wind.

A terrifying Qi and Blood surged from his body, like billowing smoke, turning the sea of clouds above into a dark red!

Chen Lingxi's heart sank. Just as she was about to speak to Lin Suri, she suddenly witnessed an even more shocking scene.

Suddenly, eight flags rose up amidst the surrounding mountains.

These flags were extremely tall and large, with a dark red surface and many mysterious patterns engraved on them.

These patterns flowed slowly across the flag, with Spiritual Qi swirling within them, emanating an extremely thick crimson light.

And all this bloodshed...

These come from the cultivators with Qi and Blood under these banners!

Eight banners! Under each banner, there are a thousand Silver Bones and a martial arts master with Nine-Revolutions Blood Qi.

With a thousand Silver Bones and a martial artist of the Nine-Revolutions Blood Qi, their Qi and Blood are already astonishing.

But the banner also contained a strange formation that Interconnection the Qi and Blood of the 1,001 warriors, amplifying each other's strength!

In an instant, the Qi and Blood surged even more intensely!

The Nine-Revolutions Blood Qi warrior stood there, shrouded in the banner, his aura even more powerful than the Xuan -Mystic Entry Realm puppet that Xi Yu had previously sent to kill Chen Lingxi.

He is almost indistinguishable from Demon Lord Zhang!

Demon Lord Zhang, on the other hand, is the third-ranked rebel king in the world, and his Qi and Blood are renowned throughout the land!

"This Emperor Daye is indeed unfathomable. It seems that all these banners, formations, and techniques involving the combined attack of Qi and Blood were created by him."

Chen Lingxi glanced over.

The presence of eight flags and Eight-Division Army signifies the arrival of eight powerful individuals at the Mystic Entry Realm level.

What terrified Chen Lingxi even more was...

In the the Unseen, the eight flags, though separated by an immense distance, seemed to be connected to each other, filling the area with Qi and Blood and forming a cage between heaven and earth that stretched for hundreds of miles.

Within this cage, the combat power of the eight thousand and eight Qi and Blood Martial Artists has been elevated to an unimaginable level.

The white-haired Purple-Robed Marquis's eyes shone brightly.

He didn't utter a word, yet a torrent of vital Qi and Blood continuously pounded the Void.

The sound of his Qi and Blood and qi surging against the Void was like his throat, transforming into a deep and majestic human voice that echoed endlessly in this world shrouded by eight Great Banner!

"Extraterrestrial demons... all are now in my grasp!"

But then the Purple-Robed Marquis waved his hand, and all the powerful figures came out!

The eight Nine Revolutions martial artists who were guarding the Great Banner opened their eyes at the same time!

His body's Qi and Blood surged like eight plumes of smoke rising into the sky, carrying with them a mighty torrent of Qi and Blood formed by thousands of Silver Bones warriors, pouring out into this valley!

That momentum was like a thousand troops sweeping across a battlefield, intending to crush all those vying for the throne into dust.

Chen Lingxi immediately understood...

"The imperial court intervened, intending to use the battle for the Cauldron Vessel as a pretext to capture Wu Mohe, Xi Yu, and the remaining dozen or so people, and bring them all to the palace."

"That's quite a generous gesture!"

A great battle is about to break out!

A sharp, piercing note came first from the distant mountains and forests!

Immediately afterwards, a dark golden arrow pierced the air from the mountain, its surface surging with hot blood, and shot straight toward a cultivator.

The one who made the move was none other than Emperor Bow Earl.

Before the cultivator could even react, the arrow of Qi and Blood pierced his neck, pinning him and his body to a distant mountain.

At the same time, several shadows suddenly appeared in the Void, seized the cultivator who had not died, and quietly left.

Emperor Bow Earl remained expressionless, then looked at Chen Lingxi and Lin Suri.

Above the Void, Wu Mohe frowned, feeling that he was trapped in a cage, and that only by fighting his way out could he obtain a sliver of hope.

"Fellow Daoists Xi, Chen, and Lin... if we don't cooperate sincerely, we might die at the hands of these locals!"

His Divine Sense was reeling.

At that moment, the two-zhang-long spear beneath the feet of the white-haired, Purple-Robed Marquis crashed down from the Void!

The spear tip pierced a mountain and then into the rocks, leaving behind half of the spear shaft.

The Purple-Robed Marquis remained standing atop the spear shaft, his hands behind his back.

He stood amidst rubble and dust, his white hair fluttering in the wind, his terrifying Qi and Blood growing ever stronger.

His calm eyes coldly swept over every contender for the throne on the battlefield.

The humility and deference he had shown when facing Emperor Daye were completely gone from his gaze; instead, there was naked murderous intent and a condescending air about him!

Flags waving!

Eight dark red flags fluttered simultaneously in the Void!

At that moment, all the flowing patterns on the banner lit up, like eight blood-red lightning bolts striking the world at the same time.

The eight thousand Silver Bones beneath the banner simultaneously unleashed a deafening battle roar. The roars merged into one, sweeping outwards like an invisible giant wave, causing mountains and rivers to tremble and rivers to reverse in their wake.

Eight thousand Silver Bones experts began their charge, along with those Mystic Entry Realm who were stationed at the Great Banner.

The Qi and Blood surged forth like eight crimson torrents, carrying unimaginable power, heading straight for Wu Mohe, Xi Yu, and the others!

At that moment, Lin Suri and Chen Lingxi sensed something almost simultaneously and both activated their Qi Observation Technique to look up at the sky.

Almost simultaneously, a glint of light appeared in their eyes as they pierced through the thick clouds and gazed at the seemingly calm sea of clouds high and far away.

"There are still powerful figures coveting that place!"

Chen Lingxi was greatly surprised.

"It's nothing more than Wu Mohe, Xi Yu, and me. Only Lin Suri, paired with that red-robed incarnation, is stronger."

It's bad enough that the Purple-Robed Marquis came in person, but there's even a powerful figure in the clouds!

"This is far too strange."

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, dispelling the clouds and mist, and a figure in a black robe could be vaguely seen.

The black robe hung above the clouds, its hem motionless in the wind, completely out of place amidst the surging sea of clouds.

Chen Lingxi's pupils contracted slightly...

"Yuan Yuan?"

He recognized the man; it was none other than Yuan Yuan, who could rival Xiao Changlü!

Xi Yu had originally been lying in wait a hundred miles away from the Slaying-Force Cauldron, intending to reveal himself only after Wu Mohe and the others had killed Chen Lingxi.

Unexpectedly, this turn of events came so suddenly, and a military unit also came from behind him, unfurling its flags.

She originally intended to use the Willow Leaf to escape far away, but she also sensed the terrifying presence in the clouds.

They could only land on the ground, hoping to break through the encirclement.

From the shadows behind her, another Mystic Entry Realm puppet appeared and disappeared, unleashing numerous runes and mystical techniques that resounded through the Void.

Wu Mohe also made a move!

The vortex of sword intent around him expanded once more, and countless blazing Sword-Ray burst forth from the vortex, like a reversed rain of Sword Qi splashing towards the direction of the Silver Bones.

Where the Sword-Ray passed, the silver armor shattered, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. Dozens of Silver Bones were torn to pieces by the storm of Sword Qi.

But the crimson patterns on the eight Great Banner only lit up slightly before instantly devouring the Qi and Blood flowing from these Silver Bones warriors, making the Nine Revolutions figure even stronger!

But Chen Lingxi made another discovery at this moment.

He stood on the Longevity Bridge, only to find that none of the eight Qi and Blood Armies came to surround and kill him.

Wu Mohe, Xi Yu, and Lin Suri were all engaged in fierce fighting.

The Void where Chen Lingxi stood seemed empty and desolate, as if no one cared.

"Hmm? Just as I thought, the imperial court is still unwilling to take action against me."

Chen Lingxi quickly calculated in her mind.

He recalled that when Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye, the white-haired, Purple-Robed Marquis had mentioned his name to the Emperor Daye.

"It seems that Emperor Daye wants me to ascend to the Tenth Floor myself."

Chen Lingxi narrowed her eyes, a few more guesses forming in her mind. "In that case, I can now retreat safely."

He turned around, about to use his Cloud-Riding Technique to fly out of that heavenly prison.

Just then, Chen Lingxi suddenly sensed something unusual in his Hongdong Bag.

His expression changed slightly as he probed a wisp of his Divine Sense into the Hongdong Bag.

"Hmm? It's this Great Banner?"
