Chapter 217 Seven Star Grass, Seeking Death, the Ninth Mysterious Vein! (Million Words)

Zhou Yan temporarily changed his mind and wandered around the Wanhai Chamber of Commerce.

Just as his eyes were scanning, he would always glance at Su Chen's position inadvertently.

"Seven-star grass?"

When Zhou Yan saw the items traded between the two parties, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Seven Star Grass is a body-refining elixir that contains weak star power and is generally used to practice Chunyang Martial Arts.

Seeing Su Chen buying Seven Star Grass, he subconsciously thought that Su Chen planned to practice Chunyang Martial Arts with him.

Physical training in Chunyang Martial Arts is divided into two directions, one is strength and the other is defense.

To some extent, its training difficulty is more difficult than Yuanli Martial Arts and Divine Weapon Martial Arts, but it is an extremely easy martial arts to get started with.

Su Chen might not have such thoughts when buying one plant, but the two of them traded at least three or four plants of Seven Star Grass.

Seven Star Grass is not abundant in the territory of Ziyang Sect, which makes Seven Star Grass very expensive. One plant often requires a thousand Lingyuan Pills.

Three or four plants of Seven Star Grass are three to four thousand Lingyuan Pills.

If they didn't plan to practice Chunyang Martial Arts, no one would buy so much Seven Star Grass at once.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yan figured out the reason.

"Like me, Su Chen has reached the limit in the realm of Tongmai and cannot open up new profound veins, so he can only improve his strength through other methods.

I remember that he is a perfect martial artist of the Five Meridians. With his wealth, he can buy Yuan Judan for breakthrough.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he chose to buy Seven-Star Grass to improve his physique. It seemed that he planned to practice Chunyang Martial Arts with him.

After all, he is a martial artist from a small place with short-sightedness. Although Chunyang Martial Arts is very easy to get started, it is also known as the 'money-burning martial arts'.

Like a bottomless pit, once you practice, you will consume a lot of resources. "

He didn't care what kind of martial arts Su Chen practiced. What could be used was his future property, which gave him a myocardial infarction.

"No, once he practices Chunyang Martial Arts and uses Seven Star Grass, his body becomes stronger. Even if I break through Juyuan, it will become difficult to kill him. I must break through Juyuan before he can refine these Seven Star Grass. , try to kill him at the minimum cost."

Zhou Yan stopped and stared for a long time, until Su Chen left, then he walked out of Wanhai Chamber of Commerce.

With the help of runes, a weak elemental force was projected onto Su Chen to facilitate the search.

Immediately, Zhou Yan stopped wasting time and returned to his residence with the Juyuan Dan.

the other side.

Su Chen was a little disappointed. Although Wanhai Chamber of Commerce had Seven Star Grass, they could not get ten plants at once, only four.

The origin of Seven Star Grass is located in the territory of the Dragon Elephant Sect, and it is generally used by the disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect for cultivation.

The Longxiang Sect is far away from the Ziyang Sect, and even transportation by the Wanhai Chamber of Commerce will take three days.

In other words, Su Chen can only buy it after three days.

The buddy also recommended to Su Chen a place where he could buy Seven Star Grass, which was Qingyang City Canyon.

This is a market similar to Yebifang Market. There are not only people from sects, but also people from families and casual cultivators. It can be said that there is a mixed crowd.

However, its scale is not comparable to that of Yebifang City.

According to the clerk, you can even buy real magic weapons in the Qingyang City Canyon Market.

Su Chen was still a little tempted at first, but when he found out that the person going was either rich, noble or powerful, he thought for a while and gave up.

Even a Yuanshen realm warrior might be assassinated when he goes to the canyon market in Qingyang City. If a scum like him in the Tongmai realm goes away, then there will be no bones left.

It’s better to wait three days and buy Seven Star Grass.

"Before that, let's earn Lingyuan Dan first."

The four Seven Star Grasses cost a total of 4,000 Lingyuan Pills, which had already consumed all the remaining Lingyuan Pills in his body.

If he wants to wait three days to buy the Seven Star Grass, he has to earn six thousand Lingyuan Pills in three days.

"After returning to the city, go to Wanmiao Cave to use up the remaining time. You can use it to take Seven Star Grass, and then go to Wului or Fangshi to earn Lingyuan Dan."

After setting the plan, Su Chen returned to the city without stopping.

Zhao Mansion.

Zhao Heng has recovered from his injuries, his posture is a bit yandere, and his face is a bit pale.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Zhao Qing opened the half-open door with an anxious expression and walked in.

After seeing Zhao Qing, Zhao Heng hurriedly asked: "How are things going?"

Zhao Qing smiled bitterly, completely unable to combine the person in front of him with the high-spirited Zhao Heng.

She took a deep breath, shook her head and said softly: "Brother Heng, Su Chen is not here."

"Do I not want to see you, or are you really not here?" Zhao Heng frowned and asked.

"No more." Zhao Qing affirmed, "I asked a female warrior who was in the same hospital with him, and she told me that Su Chen often goes out and hasn't come back for several days."

Seeing Zhao Heng's relieved look, Zhao Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Brother Heng, what about it?"

"What?" Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment.

"I mean, even if Su Chen takes revenge on us, we don't have to worry too much because of the sect's rules." Zhao Qing pursed his lips.

Ever since Zhao Heng was defeated by Su Chen, she found that Zhao Heng had completely changed.

Not only was she asked to contact her family for funding, but she was also asked to find Su Chen to apologize.

Hearing this, Zhao Heng sighed quietly and looked confused.

After a long while, he said: "If I was inferior to Su Chen and lost the match, it wouldn't be like that at all, but I was defeated by his one move.

After a pause, he looked at Zhao Qing with a complicated face.

Zhao Heng continued: "In the past two days, I have been thinking about the scene of our fight in my mind, and the more I think about it, the more terrifying this person becomes.

If it weren't for the sect's rules, he could have killed me with one move.

I ask you to apologize, not to make friends with this person, but to ask for his forgiveness.

If he refuses to give up, I will die and my family will not be in trouble. "

Zhao Qing fell into silence.

Zhao Heng didn't say much and sighed softly: "Let's look for it again. If we really can't find it, at least hand over the apology to him."

"Okay!" Zhao Qing nodded, stood up and left.

…

Wanmiao Cave, in a certain formation.

What sounded like deep screams of pain echoed in the formation, like hundreds of beasts roaring and roaring.

Su Chen did not expect that swallowing Seven Star Grass to practice would be so painful.

The whole body seemed to be thrust by ten thousand golden needles, cut by ten thousand knives, and hit by ten thousand hammers.

The pain was so painful that his will could not bear it.

Even with Yuan Power's repair, his skin was still cracked inch by inch, and blood slowly flowed out like water drops.

The internal organs were destroyed to pieces by the power of the stars contained in the Seven Star Grass.

After a stick of incense, the pain gradually subsided.

Immediately afterwards, the power of the stars, which was originally extremely violent, became docile and began to repair Su Chen's body.

The internal organs were rejuvenated, blood scabs formed on the surface of the skin, and the wounds healed.

Su Chen opened his eyes as though he had survived the catastrophe, his pupils were blank, and he had not yet recovered from the intense and long-lasting pain.

After a while, Su Chen's eyes became clear, his mouth opened slightly, and a puff of turbid air spurted out, stretching several meters away before slowly dissipating.

He checked his body and saw something strange: "Not only is the skin much harder, but even the internal organs are much stronger."

In addition, the mysterious veins seem to have been strengthened and become stronger.

"It's just that the seven-star grass is too powerful. Just one plant almost killed me half of my life. I'm afraid I won't be able to continue taking it today. Let's wait until tomorrow."

Su Chen looked at the remaining three Seven-Star Grasses on hand and decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to take it, as well as the idea of ​​continuing to practice.

With less than half an hour left before the formation was closed, Su Chen got up to pack his things, and then left the Wanmiao Cave with the magic pill weapon.

It was still early at this time, and there was still half a day before dark, so Su Chen went to Wu Lei.

I don't know whether it was stimulated by the battle between Chang Yuan and Tenggui, or because the list was about to be refreshed, but the entire martial arts competition was five minutes more lively than usual.

There are contestants in each arena, which is very similar to singing opera. After one person sings and I appear on the stage, there is a passionate confrontation.

This also facilitated Su Chen, who began to wander between various arenas.

Compared with before, today's Su Chen not only has improved his vision and strength, but his perception has also become sharper.

The Pure Yuan Jing deducted his lifespan, but enhanced his perception, making his judgment on the outcome of the competition more accurate.

He is no longer satisfied with competitions in which the winner can be determined at a glance, but has specially selected some competitions in which the strength is evenly matched and it is difficult to distinguish between strong and weak.

This type of competition is generally easier to earn Lingyuan Dan.

Of course, there are times when he makes mistakes. After all, such competitions are constantly changing. No matter how high your vision is or how sharp your judgment is, you will still fail.

Overall, Su Chen lost less and won more.

Until evening, the number of contestants not only did not decrease, but also increased.

Su Chen, who was planning to go to Fangshi, changed his mind and continued to bet in Wu Lei.

One night passed, and Su Chen earned 700 Lingyuan Pills, which was a huge gain.

During the day, Su Chen went to Wanmiao Cave to reopen a training cave and took Seven Star Grass.

Because he had endured pain once, Su Chen didn't cry or howl the second time, and was much calmer.

After taking it, he found that the pain caused to him by Seven Star Grass was weakened, and correspondingly, the tempering effect was also reduced.

He didn't care, and after practicing Xuan Xin Wan Miao Shi for a long time, he went to the martial arts competition to continue betting.

Time is like flowing water, and three days have passed by in a flash.

Su Chen finally raised six thousand Lingyuan Pills.

Of course, not all of the six thousand Lingyuan Pills were earned by him.

Among them, Wu Lei earned 2,800 pieces, and the remaining 3,000 pieces were sent by Zhao Heng as an apology.

Coupled with Su Chen's original accumulation, it was enough to buy six seven-star grass.

At noon, Su Chen crossed the river and headed to the outer city.

Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Yan, who noticed Su Chen leaving the inner city, couldn't help but smile.

With the help of the Juyuan Pill, he successfully broke through to the Juyuan realm. As long as he reported it to the sect, he could become an inner city disciple of the Ziyang Sect.

But this matter is not urgent. Before becoming an inner city disciple, he still needs to do one thing.

In fact, he had already broken through on the second day, but unfortunately Su Chen returned to the inner city and he couldn't start.

He had no choice but to continue to practice in the house.

It took two days for Zhou Yan to stabilize his state, and his strength increased a few points compared to when he broke through.

Even if Su Chen took Seven Star Grass to strengthen his body, he seemed not to be afraid.

"It's a pity that there was a period of weakness when I took Seven Star Grass. If I could do it during the weakness period, it would save my time and energy, but it's the same now." Zhou Yan murmured.

Phew. Phew.

He was about to get up and leave when he suddenly saw the family carrier pigeon flying in mid-air and was startled.

"Huh? This is..."

Catch the carrier pigeon and read the secret message.

When he saw that the content of the letter was the special symbol agreed between him and Zhou Hanwen, Zhou Yan was first surprised, and then showed a look of ecstasy.

"Hahaha, I found it. After ten years, I finally found this inheritance place."

Zhou Yan was extremely excited, with tears welling up in his eyes.

After ten years of searching, the result finally came today. How could he not be happy?

The most important thing is that once the Zhou family obtains the inheritance, they will definitely be able to soar into the sky!

After a long time, Zhou Yan calmed down, and then destroyed and killed the secret letter and carrier pigeon in his hand to prevent the news from leaking.

The affairs of the inheritance place must not be known to anyone except him and Zhou Hanwen, otherwise it will definitely bring disaster to the family.

"As soon as I kill Su Chen, I will rush back to the family immediately!"

Zhou Yan's eyes flashed with cold light, and he left the inner city with awe-inspiring murderous intent.

Wanhai Chamber of Commerce.

"Guest, Qixingcao has arrived."

The waiter recognized Su Chen and stepped forward to greet him.

Su Chen nodded: "How many are there in total?"

"There are ten plants in total, but three plants were purchased by other customers, leaving seven plants left. Does the customer need six plants?" asked the waiter.

Su Chen nodded, took out six elixir tickets and handed them to the waiter: "Yes."

After taking the elixir ticket, the clerk turned around and took out an exquisite box with six seven-star grass in it.

After Su Chen checked it for a while, he closed the box with confidence.

Wanhai Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to credibility and will not deceive him in terms of quality.

After buying the Seven Star Grass, Su Chen turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

"It's Tenggui."

He took a closer look and recognized the identity of the person coming.

"Master Teng."

The waiter recognized Tenggui and greeted him respectfully.

Tenggui nodded indifferently and said, "I need five Seven Star Grasses."

"This..." The clerk looked embarrassed when he heard this, "Mr. Teng, the Chamber of Commerce currently only has one Seven-Star Grass left. It will take three days for the next batch to arrive."

"Is there any other way?" Tenggui's cold voice sounded.

The waiter thought for a while and said: "Mr. Teng, a distinguished guest just bought six seven-star grasses at once. Mr. Teng can ask him about it. He is the young man who went out not long ago."

Su Chen, who had just left not long ago, looked at Tenggui who appeared in front of him with doubts on his face.

Teng Gui glanced at the box in Su Chen's hand and said indifferently: "I want all the seven-star grass you have. Please set a price."

Hearing that Teng Gui also wanted Seven Star Grass, Su Chen was stunned for a moment, but he quickly refused: "Sorry, I'm useful."

"Ten thousand Lingyuan Pills!" Tenggui made an offer directly without any nonsense.

Su Chen still shook his head.

"Are you a disciple of the Ziyang Sect?" Teng Gui did not continue to ask for a price, but asked without saying anything.

Feeling the increasingly fierce aura from Tenggui, Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Tenggui shook his head and did not answer. Instead, he took a deep look at Su Chen, then turned and left.

Watching Tenggui leave, Su Chen's eyes flashed with surprise. He thought the other party was about to take action.

"We are both Eight Meridian Perfection Warriors, but I feel that his strength is a little stronger than mine."

In terms of profound veins, Su Chen has caught up with Chang Yuan and Teng Gui, but not in other aspects.

His background is still too shallow, and compared with top-notch meridians such as Chang Yuan and Teng Gui, he is a little behind.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Su Chen is given some time, he will surpass the two of them sooner or later.

Even so, if Teng Gui really took action just now, he would not be afraid.

With his sword-drawing skills, he is still capable of fighting.

"Huh? Someone is following me."

On the way back, Su Chen noticed something was wrong, and a mysterious aura followed him since he left the Wanhai Chamber of Commerce.

"I thought Tenggui looked like a strong man, but I didn't expect him to be so small-minded."

Su Chen chuckled and shook his head slightly.

To follow him for six seven-star grasses is really not in line with his status.

"Okay, let's see how big the gap between us is."

Su Chen's eyes bloomed with a strong fighting spirit, he changed direction and walked towards the outside of the city.

That vague aura has been following him.

"Come out."

When he reached the wilderness, Su Chen stopped, looked behind him, and said in a deep voice.

A figure swept out from a thousand meters away and arrived in front of Su Chen in the blink of an eye.

To Su Chen's surprise, the person in front of him was not Teng Gui, but someone he had never seen before.

"Who are you?" Su Chen looked at the other person and searched for relevant memories. He didn't know this person.

After hearing this, Zhou Yan sneered: "You knew I was following you, but you took the initiative to expose me. Should I say you are stupid, or that you don't know how to live or die?"

Ever since Su Chen suddenly left the city, Zhou Yan realized that he had been exposed.

This surprised him a little. He had already restrained his aura to the extreme, and he never thought that Su Chen would still find him.

But what made him happy was that Su Chen chose to leave the city even though he clearly discovered him, which actually saved him a lot of trouble.

He stared at Su Chen and chuckled: "Su Chen, I will give you a chance. As long as you hand over the demigod weapon in your hand, I will let you live."

After the words fell, Zhou Yan stepped on the ground with the soles of his feet. The ground rumbled and trembled, and a sun of Yuanli instantly condensed behind him.

The moment the Yuanli Sun appeared, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose, covering all the plants in its location.

The intense heat caused these plants to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although it was not comparable to Chang Yuan and Tenggui's Yuanli Sun in terms of light and temperature, in terms of the purity of Yuanli, it gave Su Chen the slightest feeling of palpitations.

The person in front of him has obviously entered the realm of Ju Yuan, opened up his Dantian, and is able to initially mobilize the energy of heaven and earth for his own use.

Although he has never understood the power of Yuanli, his strength cannot be underestimated.

In less than a moment, Zhou Yan's Yuanli Sun condensed and took shape. He raised his arm, flicked his sleeves, and the Yuanli Sun soared into the sky.

Immediately it fell quickly. Every time it fell, the urine and urine shrank by one point, and fell into the hand like a bright golden ball.

Zhou Yan held the scorching sun in his palm, his body floated up, and he looked down at Su Chen with a dangerous aura in his eyes.

"You only have one chance to choose, and I hope you consider it carefully."

The threat can be expressed in words, and can be acted upon in a moment's notice.

Su Chen didn't say anything, and the rising energy from his body was the best response.

Zhou Yan's eyes turned cold, and the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer. Just as he was about to take action, he saw the rising Yuan Power dissipate suddenly.

"What, have you thought clearly?" Zhou Yan smiled lightly, very satisfied with Su Chen's awareness of current affairs.

Su Chen still didn't speak, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Of course, putting away his Yuan Power was not because he gave up the fight.

Instead, he felt that his sword skills were obviously stronger, so why should he foolishly use Yuanli to fight with the opponent?

The fourth level of Nirvana Drawing Technique can use the power of divine weapons without divine weapons.

The power is much more powerful than the magic weapon he used in Daqian. It is his strongest method so far.

What's more, he can have a semi-divine weapon, the Sky-Breaking Sword, on his body.

With the blessing of the Sky-Breaking Sword, he will definitely be able to fully unleash the power of the divine weapon.

Why abandon the basics and pursue the weak, and use the small to gain the big.

You must know that the power of divine weapons is the same as the power of Yuanli.

In the Yuanli Martial Arts, he is just a martial artist of Tongmai, but in the Divine Weapon Martial Arts, he is a warrior of the Situation Realm.

It's not easy to deal with a Juyuan warrior.

Looking at the smile on Zhou Yan's face, he felt a little sympathy for him. This guy had no idea what kind of existence he was facing.

Sympathy is sympathy, but there is no mercy in the movements of his hands.

Su Chen held the Sky-Breaking Knife with his backhand, and the tip of the knife and the back of the knife passed through the scabbard.

Just hearing a clang, a cold light burst out, instantly releasing a bone-chilling chill.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yan's eyes were cold and cold, he snorted softly in his nose, murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and shouted sternly: "Since you are looking for death, then I will help you."

The sound of shouting was rolling like thunder, carrying a torrent of energy.

The golden ball of Yuanli in his hand stirred up the Yuanli from all directions and shot out instantly.

It was obviously a small golden ball that could be held in one hand, but when it was released, it spewed out terrifying arrogance.

The golden ball streaked across the sky as fast as lightning, leaving a bright trail and roaring towards him.

In just a few breaths, the golden ball turned into a huge mountain.

The Yuanli Mountains have sharp outlines, overgrown vegetation and rugged rocks.

Every time it got bigger, everything on the mountain became clearer. In the end, it seemed like a real mountain, slamming into Su Chen.

When Su Chen saw this, he shook his arm, and the Sky-Breaking Blade suddenly made a buzzing sound, as if in response to him.

He raised his arm, held the Sky-Breaking Sword high, and slashed down diagonally as Yuanli Mountain came crashing down on his head and face.

In an instant, an ordinary semicircular arc of light shot out from the tip of the knife.

There is no fluctuation of Yuan Power on it, only the power of the divine weapon compressed to the extreme.

Hidden within this magical power is an even more terrifying force.

The arc of light without the blessing of the divine weapon is just an unopened sword, dull and stagnant.

And once the power of the divine weapon is released, it will turn into the sharpest and sharpest sword, capable of destroying any obstacle blocking the front.

Click!

The moment the arc of light collided with the golden ball of Yuanli, time seemed to stand still at this moment.

There was no earth-shattering impact, just an extremely fast knife.

The Yuanli Mountain was cut open by the arc of light without any resistance, and the momentum it condensed collapsed in an instant.

It turns into light and shadow all over the sky, falling in a flourishing way.

The smile on Zhou Yan's face completely solidified as the power of the divine weapon was released.

"How can he use the power of a divine weapon?"

Zhou Yan looked horrified and muttered to himself.

Only a divine weapon can use the power of a divine weapon. Why can a semi-divine weapon also use it?

However, at this moment, he had no time to think about it.

The arc of light slashed down the mountain, but did not disappear, but rushed towards him at an astonishing speed.

At this moment, the arc of light, which was ordinary to the extreme, became extremely terrifying in his eyes because of the blessing of the divine weapon.

Zhou Yan was horrified. Under the suppression of the divine weapons, the energy in his body seemed to be imprisoned.

Even though he was running wildly, he still didn't cause too much trouble.

"No!" Zhou Yan screamed, and was immediately completely submerged in the arc of light.

Just when Su Chen thought that Zhou Yan would definitely die, a figure suddenly shot out from the light ball, it was Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan's whole body flew backwards for hundreds of meters like a cannonball, blood flowing wildly, and he hit dozens of big trees along the way.

The big tree collapsed and made a rumbling sound on the ground, but it still could not cover up the sound of Zhou Yan's landing, and his body even dragged out nearly fifty meters of traces on the ground.

puff.

After landing on the ground, Zhou Yan spat out a large mouthful of blood, dyeing his clothes and pants blood-colored.

His breath also shrunk instantly, like a dead corpse.

Although he is still breathing, if he does not receive treatment, he is likely to die soon.

Su Chen dodged and came a hundred meters away from Zhou Yan, looking intently with his eyes focused.

"No wonder he's not dead. It turns out he was wearing a layer of inner armor."

However, under the fierce attack of the divine weapon, this layer of inner armor was shattered into pieces.

"Forget it, let's make one more stab."

Seeing that Zhou Yan was not dead, Su Chen didn't bother to waste time. He twirled his palms and condensed surging energy, intending to kill the opponent.

Seemingly aware of the imminent danger, Zhou Yan forced his eyelids open and begged: "No, don't kill me, I'll tell you my name."

Su Chen sneered in his heart when he heard this. He had seen someone begging for mercy and giving them all their belongings. This was the first time he had seen someone begging for mercy and giving his name.

He planned to take action without hesitation, but the next moment, the aura on Zhou Yan's body quickly weakened until it was completely gone.

"There's so much nonsense, but it's not enough to support one move, and it's a waste of everyone's feelings."

After confirming Zhou Yan's death, Su Chen shook his head slightly, picked up his old job again, and groped around Zhou Yan's body.

Most things were reduced to ashes under the pressure of the divine weapons, leaving only a token.

Su Chen recognized this token as the disciple token of the Ziyang Sect.

"Zhou...Yan."

On the token, Su Chen quickly learned the other party's identity information.

He didn't know the man and had never heard the name, but when it came up, he thought of a familiar name.

Great Zhou Dynasty!

"Is this person from the Zhou Dynasty?"

Su Chen frowned slightly, threw the token away, then flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of Yuanli fire fell on Zhou Yan's body.

The fire was raging and the bodies were quickly incinerated.

Returning to the outer city with doubts, Su Chen changed his appearance and inquired about Zhou Yan's identity.

"As expected, he is from the Zhou Dynasty!"

The information he learned was consistent with his guess. Zhou Yan was not only a member of the Zhou Dynasty, but also Zhou Hanwen's great-great-grandson.

Zhou Yan was smart since he was a child, and was highly valued by Zhou Hanwen for his qualifications that were beyond his peers. After he opened up the five mysterious meridians, he was sent to the Ziyang Sect for training by Zhou Hanwen.

Zhou Yan lived up to expectations, not only opening up the sixth profound vein, but also establishing a firm foothold in just a few years and supporting his family, making the Zhou Dynasty stronger and stronger, becoming the strongest among several surrounding dynasties.

Unfortunately, it all ended with Su Chen.

"So, the Zhou Dynasty knew that I had joined the Ziyang Sect, so it sent Zhou Yan to deal with me."

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen guessed the reason.

Song Yang had mentioned before that there was someone in the Zhou Dynasty sect, but he did not expect that the other party would learn that he had joined the Ziyang Sect so quickly.

After reading through Zhou Yan's information, Su Chen ignored it.

In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, there was only one disciple, Zhou Yan, who joined the Ziyang Sect. There was no need to worry about killing the other disciple, which would incur revenge from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

On the contrary, the Zhou Dynasty prospered because of Zhou Yan, but may also decline because of Zhou Yan's death.

Returning to his identity as a disciple of the Ziyang Sect, Su Chen returned with a full load and crossed the river into the inner city.

As soon as he entered the city, he couldn't wait to rush to Wanmiao Cave to practice.

At present, he has prepared enough Seven Star Grass. As long as he practices step by step, he can meet the requirements of the panel and open up the ninth profound vein.

Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the formation, Su Chen had a look of anticipation on his face.

Among the entire Ziyang Sect's outer city disciples, Chang Yuan, the strongest, had only developed eight profound veins.

And it won't be long before he opens up the ninth profound vein. How far can his strength be enhanced by then?

Su Chen didn't think carefully. After calming down, he took out a seven-star grass and devoted himself to practicing.

While Su Chen was immersed in practicing, the outside world became more and more lively.

There are less than seven days until the list is refreshed.

Wanxing Cliff, Wanmiao Cave, Red Corridor and other training and testing places are filled with disciples in an endless stream every day.

Everyone is working hard and planning to sprint at the last minute in the hope of achieving a better ranking.

Under this fierce force, the inner city, which was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, surged into waves.

Not only are the unknown warriors among the old disciples who usually remain anonymous become famous, but even among the new disciples there are powerful dark horses who have emerged.

The most outstanding among them is a new disciple named Shang Shuo.

Martial arts.

Overcrowded.

A group of people swarmed towards a certain arena in the middle, with excitement and anticipation on their faces.

"I didn't get to see the last battle between Chang Yuan and Teng Gui. I want to see the battle between Shang Shuo and Jiang Ran no matter what."

"This Shang Shuo is really the most powerful among these newcomers. He dared to challenge Jiang Ran less than three months after joining the sect."

"Yes, you must know that Jiang Ran can advance into the top 100 disciples in the three rankings. He is very powerful."

"Jiang Ran is strong, but Shang Shuo is not weak either. Both of them are seven perfect warriors, and they are on the same level in terms of realm."

"And Shang Shuo is not weak either. With his strength, as long as he goes to the Red Corridor, he will definitely be able to enter the top 100."

"How can it be?"

"I'm afraid you don't know that Shang Shuo has been challenging in the ring every day during this period, and his challengers have been ranked higher and higher among the three rankings. But until now, he has never lost a fight. Well, I am with him I have won hundreds of Lingyuan Dan, but I still beat him to win this time!"

"Then I'll crush Jiang Ran, who calls her the girl of my dreams?"

"..."

In the midst of everyone's discussion, two figures, a man and a woman, intertwined with light and shadow, engaging in a fierce confrontation.

The people in the audience were even more nervous than the two people on the stage, and they all looked at the two people fighting with bated breath.

While other powerful warriors were trying their best to rise in the rankings, the competition between the two seemed extremely precious.

It can almost be called the most eye-catching battle after Chang Yuan Tenggui's battle.

Many warriors went to watch, including Zhang Youyou.

Zhang Youyou looked nervously at the handsome figure on the stage, not noticing the meaningful eyes of the sisters beside him.

"Youyou, this Shang Shuo doesn't look very strong."

The woman was wearing a purple dress and a veil, and a bell-like sound rang out, and it accurately fell into Zhang Youyou's ears amidst the noise.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Youyou hesitated, looked away, and said with a smile: "Sister Qingyou, although you are very strong, as long as you give Shang Shuo some time, I'm afraid you will be in danger next time the list is refreshed."

The woman is the only one among the top three on the list, Zhu Qingyou.

Zhu Qingyou pursed her lips after hearing this: "Really? Then I'll wait and see."

"Yes." Zhang Youyou nodded matter-of-factly.

Then, as if she remembered something, she turned around and saw Zhu Qingyou covering her mouth and smiling, with a bit of teasing in her eyes.

Zhang Youyou turned red, coughed slightly, and changed the subject: "By the way, Sister Qingyou, who do you think will win this competition?"

With the strength of her five meridians, she couldn't even clearly see the fight between the two, so naturally she couldn't tell who lost and who won.

Karen Zhu did not answer, but asked with a smile: "Then who do you want to win?"

"I... don't know." Zhang Youyou, who was about to blurt out, quickly reacted and rolled his eyes at Zhu Qingyou.

Zhu Qingyou smiled slightly, then turned to the ring and said: "The two of them are in the same realm, it just depends on how well they practice Ziyuan Gong."

The deeper you practice in Ziyuan Gong Shape of Yuanli, the more refined your use of the shape of Yuanli will be.

The more powerful the Ziyuan Gong is practiced, the stronger the increase in Yuan Power.

In addition, there are many factors, but Zhu Qingyou didn't say much.

Because in her opinion, these two alone are enough for Jiang Ran to widen the gap with Shang Shuo.

As Zhang Youyou said, Shang Shuo joined the Ziyang Sect for too short a time, and his background and experience were not as good as those of Jiang Ran.

If after three months, Shang Shuo has grown up, she may not even be able to tell who wins and who loses.

"Sister Qingyou, what about you?" Zhang Youyou asked suddenly.

"Me?" Zhu Qingyou was stunned for a moment, then realized, "You mean Chang Yuan and Teng Gui, right?"

Zhang Youyou nodded: "Well, will Chang Yuan still be number one on the three lists this time?"

"I don't know." Zhu Qingyou shook her head.

She had also seen the previous battles between Chang Yuan and Teng Gui. Neither of them had used their full strength, and she couldn't tell.

But no matter what, she will try her best to compete for the top spot.

"Giggle, sister Qingyou, you guessed wrong." Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Youyou chuckled.

Zhu Qingyou came back to her senses and looked towards the ring, with a bit of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

Shang Shuo won this contest.

Just seeing Jiang Ran's beautiful and swollen face, Zhu Qingyou was slightly startled: "This Shang Shuo doesn't understand how much he cares about her, so he just slaps her in the face!"

Hearing this, Zhang Youyou also had a look of embarrassment on his face. This kind of behavior was indeed a bit overwhelming.

Seeing this, some of Jiang Ran's admirers in the audience were filled with indignation and wanted to go on stage to compete with Shang Shuo.

Shang Shuo was indifferent, his eyes as calm as the deep water in a deep pool, without causing any ripples.

After defeating Jiang Ran, Shang Shuo jumped off the ring and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

In the next two days, he will not prepare to challenge, but will focus on finishing the rankings.

…

In the imperial palace of the Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Zhou received an urgent summons from Zhou Hanwen and hurried to see him.

"Zhou Yan is dead."

Before Emperor Zhou could greet him, he heard Zhou Hanwen's cold voice echoing in the not-so-cold hall, making him feel chilled all over.

Emperor Zhou raised his head in astonishment and said in disbelief: "How could this happen?"

Zhou Hanwen did not speak, but threw a secret letter to Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou took the secret letter, opened it hurriedly, and stared at it with furrowed brows.

"The people from the Ziyang Sect only found Zhou Yan's token, but not his body. They are afraid that it was destroyed by someone."

Zhou Hanwen said lightly, his voice filled with surging anger that could not be suppressed.

After reading the secret letter, Emperor Zhou's body trembled involuntarily. He could already imagine the consequences this matter would bring to Zhou.

The reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty was able to dominate was indispensable to Zhou Yan's identity as a disciple of the Ziyang Sect.

Now that Zhou Yan is dead, the Zhou Dynasty no longer has a foundation in Ziyang Sect.

Once this matter is leaked, it will definitely cause an uproar in several dynasties near the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is already surrounded by wolves, will also become in danger.

"Ancestor, what should we do about this matter?" Emperor Zhou was already confused and worried.

Zhou Hanwen closed his eyes tightly when he heard this, and his face looked a little pale.

The reason why their Zhou family became the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not rely on his strength, but Zhou Yan.

When Zhou Yan died, his identity as the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty would definitely disappear.

Once other disciples of the Ziyang Sect obtain the qualifications and settle in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou royal family will surely face liquidation and a catastrophe is imminent.

Just like when the Zhou family became the royal family, all the forces of the previous dynasty were eradicated.

"You go out first." Zhou Hanwen waved his hand.

After hearing this, Emperor Zhou swayed and retreated with a sad look on his face.

Only Zhou Hanwen was left in the entire hall.

After a long silence, Zhou Hanwen opened his eyes with firm eyes.

"For the current plan, we can only give up that inheritance and seek blessing!" He sighed heavily.

This inheritance should have been the key to the Zhou family's rise, but now it had to be abandoned, which made him heartbroken.

But right now, there is no better way than this.

He stood up and took it out and walked into the secret room, looking through the many messages Zhou Yan brought back from Ziyang Sect.

This information has been recorded in books, including the identities of many disciples of Ziyang Sect.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhou Hanwen fixed his gaze on one of the pages and murmured to himself: "That's him, Pang Hao!"

…

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

In the formation, Su Chen swallowed the last seven-star grass and held his breath while refining it.

Today's Seven Star Grass can no longer cause him much pain, and his body returned to its original state within a short time.

The progress on the panel is also completed at this moment.

A smile appeared on Su Chen's face: "We can start to open up the ninth profound vein."

Immediately, he gave the order: "Panel, turn on simple mode!"
