Chapter 165: Evil Devil, Shadowless Killing
"I've been there."

"Have you met my fellow apprentice Yu Xuansong?"

"I've seen it."

"Did you cut off his arm?" Chi Yangzi pointed at the body of the male disciple on the ground.

"Yes, I cut it off."

Chen Xian also glanced at the male disciple and continued, "I saw the three of them on the first day of March, a thousand miles away from the Black Abyss..."

"Can you take two moves from my Junior Brother Xuansong?" Chi Yangzi frowned.

Yu Xuansong is over 190 years old. He is one of the top five strongest men in the Chiyang Sword Sect. He is at the ninth level of the Tiangang realm and is just one step away from entering the Wanxiang realm.

He was really surprised that the 'young man' in front of him could take two moves.

Chen Xian glanced at Chi Yangzi and said, "This is not the point."

In fact, Yu Xuansong couldn't do anything to him at all.

He narrated the incident again, mainly wanting to talk about the Demon Ape King's son Sarutobi.

Chi Yangzi's old eyes flashed: "Xiao Yue said that she saw you kill my junior brother and my disciple with her own eyes. How do you explain it?"

Chen Xian sneered and glanced at the female disciple Xiao Yue: "Mr. Chi Yangzi, do you think I would spare her after I killed your junior brother Yu Xuansong and this male disciple?"

"......!!" Chi Yangzi opened his mouth. This was also something he cared about.

When the female disciple went back and told him that the Demon-Suppressing General had killed Yu Xuansong and the male disciples, he was wondering how Xiao Yue could have escaped back to the sect alive?

After all, anyone who can kill Yu Xuansong must have at least the sixth level of Tiangang cultivation.

Because Yu Xuansong could not be considered a genius, and he was over 190 years old, which was not old for a cultivator, but it was not young either.

When facing some young geniuses, those at the sixth level of Tiangang can fight against those at the ninth level. If there is any secret method or powerful means, it is possible to kill Yu Xuansong when the opponent is caught off guard.

Therefore, it is very easy for a strong man of the sixth level of Tiangang to hunt down a female disciple who has just entered the spiritual infant stage.

Since they had killed Yu Xuansong and the male disciples, why would they let a female disciple go?

When Xiao Yue heard this, she angrily said, "You said it yourself. I was able to escape because you didn't kill the woman."

"It's not me who said that. It was the person who killed your master and senior brother who said that." Chen Xian shook his head. He never said that he never killed women.

"It's you, it's you...!" Xiao Yue pointed at Chen Xian's nose and shouted.

"Believe it or not, I killed you?"

Chen Xian took a step forward, and his murderous gaze forced the female disciples to retreat again and again.

"Go to my camp and ask around to see if I've ever killed a woman?" He snorted coldly. Not killing a woman? Kill if you should.

The female disciple was really frightened by Chen Xian's eyes. She retreated to Chi Yangzi's side and stared at Chen Xian, not knowing what to say.

Chi Yangzi frowned and stared at Chen Xian: "May I ask, General Chen, what are you doing in Hei Yuan?"

Chen Xian raised his eyebrows: "Why? Do I need to report my whereabouts to you, the leader of a sect?"

Chi Yangzi shook his head: "I just want to know, why is it such a coincidence?"

Xiahou Yu then asked, "Are you going to practice the Desolate Cauldron Sutra?"

"Reporting to the Marshal, I am indeed practicing the Huangding Sutra." Chen Xian nodded.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man next to Chi Yangzi said in a cold voice: "The Desolate Cauldron Sutra, is it the extremely difficult and heavenly-grade martial arts technique of the imperial court?"

The Huangding Sutra is not a martial art of the imperial court. It was originally a martial art of the Tianwu Sect of Fengtian Realm. For some reason, after the establishment of the Kingdom of Daning, the Huangding Sutra was included in the Cangwu Pavilion of the imperial court.

Some people say that the Daning Dynasty is the number one sect in the world, while others say that the Daning Dynasty is the number one family in the world.

Whether it is a sect or a family, the strength of the Daning court should not be underestimated.

Some clans and sects that have been passed down for thousands of years may not be able to withstand the pressure from the imperial court.

Therefore, some people believe that the Tianpin Huangding Sutra was taken away from the Tianwu Sect by the Daning Dynasty. It happened that the technique was extremely difficult to practice, so the Tianwu Sect gave it to the Daning court.

Xiahou Yu glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "It's not rough. It's that technique."

Chi Yangzi stared at Chen Xian: "Can it be proved?"

Chen Xian glanced at the old man, hesitated for a moment, and then spread out his palm. A ball of ancient golden wild force spun out of his palm.

Everyone stared at Chen Xian's palm, looking at the spinning wild force ball.

"It's really Huang Li!" Chi Yangzi was surprised. He had lived for more than two hundred years and had seen Huang Li before, and more than once.

Xiahou Yu had also seen it, because he had killed people from the Huang tribe when he was young. The Huang force is this ancient golden color, and the power gives people a very violent feeling.

"It's only been a few days, and you've already condensed so much wild power?" Xiahou Yu was also surprised.

There is almost no wild power between heaven and earth, and it is only found in the Black Abyss and the territory of the Wilderness Clan. It is particularly difficult to cultivate. Most importantly, it is different from other methods in cultivating the acupoints and meridians.

Although it is more than ten times more powerful than those in the same realm, the time required to cultivate the wild power is also ten times that of those in the same realm.

It takes others a year to reach the Jade Sea Realm, but it may take those who cultivate the Wild Power ten years.

As for the ball of wild force in Chen Xian's hand, Xiahou Yu knew that it was from a previous cultivation genius who had spent three years condensing such a ball of wild force.

Because it was too difficult to practice, I finally gave up.

"For a while." Chen Xian did not say how long he had been practicing. Anyway, it has been two months since he got the [Wild Cauldron Sutra].

Xiahou Yu nodded, he looked at Chi Yangzi and said, "Mr. Chi Yangzi, I can vouch for Chen Xian that Elder Yu Xuansong of your Chi Yang Sword Sect was definitely not killed by Chen Xian. And this disciple, you can see that his death was obviously caused by evil means. Even if there are evil magic techniques in the court, they are all banned and no one is allowed to practice them. There are no evil magic techniques in the Demon Suppression Pass either."

Chi Yangzi nodded with a serious expression.

Since Xiahou Yu acted as a guarantor, he had no choice but to give up.

"General Chen, you mentioned the Demon Ape King's son Sarutobi just now. Have you ever seen him?" Chi Yangzi asked a little unwillingly.

Chen Xian shook his head: "Never seen it."

Just when Chi Yangzi was a little disappointed, Chen Xian took out a token from his body and said, "That day, another person appeared in the Black Abyss. I'm talking about the southeastern periphery. I don't know if anyone entered from other places!"

After he finished speaking, Chen Xian threw the token to Chi Yangzi.

After Chi Yangzi took the token, he took a closer look and said with a frown, "Is this the killing order from the Sha Tian Pavilion?"

He raised his head and looked at Chen Xian: "Are you saying that there were still people from the Killing Heaven Pavilion that day?"

"Killing Heaven Pavilion?"

Chen Xian raised his eyebrows. This name was quite domineering, but he knew nothing about the Killing Heaven Pavilion. He said, "I don't know if he is from the Killing Heaven Pavilion, but that person was shrouded in a cloud of black air, and his swordsmanship was like rain, which was a bit similar to the swordsmanship she used that day."

Then he pointed at the female disciple Xiaoyue.

"You, what do you mean?" The female disciple Xiaoyue's face turned pale immediately.

"It's nothing. It's just that the man surrounded by black energy used a sword technique that was very similar to the one you used to attack me." Chen Xian frowned and said.

"I am using the Rain Piercing Sword Technique, don't talk nonsense..."

"Yes, the Killing Heaven Pavilion does have a sword technique that is similar to the Piercing Rain Sword Technique of my Red Sun Sword Sect, the Shocking Soul Sword Technique, which can shock the soul and take someone's life with one sword. Wasn't that person's last sword particularly powerful, reaching in front of you through the air and stabbing you between the eyebrows with one sword?"

Chi Yangzi stared at Chen Xian and said.

"Mr. Chi Yangzi is really a prophet, it's true." Chen Xian nodded.

"It is undoubtedly someone from the Shatian Pavilion. What happened to him later?" Chi Yangzi asked.

"Dead!" said Chen Xian.

Chi Yangzi was stunned for a moment and didn't ask any more questions.

After returning the token to Chen Xian, he looked at Xiahou Yu and said, "Marshal Xiahou has a great family background and is a high-ranking official in the court. Have you ever seen my disciple die in such a way?"

Xiahou Yu shook his head: "I have never seen it. Last night, I checked many sources. Among the evil magic skills collected by the court and those that appeared in the martial arts world, there is no such way of death."

Chi Yangzi sighed. He had lived for more than two hundred years, and this was the first time he had seen such a way of death.

"Since it is a misunderstanding, I'll take my leave now!" He stood up and bowed to Xiahou Yu.

Xiahou Yu did not pretend and stood up to return the greeting.

Chi Yangzi took the middle-aged man, the female disciple Xiao Yue and another young male disciple, carrying the body of the male disciple with the broken arm and left the Marshal's Mansion.

When leaving, the female disciple Xiaoyue kept looking back at Chen Xian, as if she wanted to see something from Chen Xian, but in the end she didn't.

After the people from the Chiyang Sword Sect left.

Xiahou Yu and others looked at Chen Xian again, especially Yuwen Pei, who stared at Chen Xian deeply.

At this time, Xiahou Yu said, "General Yuwen, you should go back first."

Hearing this, Yuwen Pei stood up and said goodbye, looked at Chen Xian again, and left quickly. "Chen Xian, have you really practiced the Desolate Cauldron Sutra?" Xiahou Feng came to Chen Xian from the side and asked in surprise.

Chen Xian glanced at him and said, "Why shouldn't I practice this Heavenly Grade Technique?"

Xiahou Feng smiled bitterly: "It is worth practicing, but it is too difficult. If you switch to practicing the Desolate Cauldron Sutra, it is very likely that your progress will be very slow for thirty or fifty years."

"What does it matter? With years of hard work and practice, I will be no worse than you one day." Chen Xian said.

"......!!" Xiahou Feng was speechless.

When I master it, I will definitely be no worse than him.

The higher the level of martial arts training progresses, the more difficult it becomes and the more time it consumes. This is especially true after reaching the All-Seeing Realm, where it may take ten or twenty years to advance to a higher level.

The exception is the evil genius, but their progress will not be that fast.

He is now at a minor level of spiritual infant success and is confident that he can reach the Tiangang realm within five years. However, if he wants to reach the Wanxiang realm, twenty years may not be enough.

Chen Xian is different. He may be able to reach the Wanxiang Realm before the age of thirty. Although he is not the youngest Wanxiang Realm expert in history, he can still rank second.

If you switch to practicing the [Huang Ding Sutra], that may not be the case.

However, if Chen Xian could really cultivate the [Wild Cauldron Sutra] before the age of thirty, even if his cultivation level was not up to the Myriad Things Realm, he would probably be able to fight against a strong man in the Myriad Things Realm.

However, Xiahou Feng had no idea that Chen Xian was now able to fight against those in the Wanxiang realm, and might even be invincible below the third level of Wanxiang.

At this time, Xiahou Yu said: "The assassins from the Shatian Pavilion are going after you, right?"

"They are coming for me." Chen Xian nodded, "Someone wants to assassinate me."

Xiahou Yu didn't say anything. The Shatian Pavilion was a killer organization, and their people rarely appeared in places like Zhenyao Pass to assassinate people.

Because places like Zhenyao Pass gather many masters in the imperial court. Even if many of them are not as good as those from the aristocratic families and sects, most of them are at the Jade Dan realm above generals, and such people are also first-rate masters in the martial arts world.

Once discovered, you will not be facing only one person, but may even have generals from other camps to help you.

If the assassination attempt fails, the victim will die in the camp.

Seeing that Xiahou Yu remained silent, Chen Xian changed the subject, "Marshal, if the demon army doesn't withdraw, I'm afraid there will be another fierce battle later?"

Xiahou Yu's eyes flickered slightly. He was at the second level of Wanxiang, and now he couldn't see through Chen Xian's cultivation strength, nor did he know what level of cultivation Chen Xian was at now, but he thought he would not be weak.

He pondered and said, "Cang Mingyun is waiting for the strong men from the Demon Dynasty to arrive. It will take at most two months, and he will definitely launch a full-scale attack."

Chen Xian said: "They have already started the exploratory attack. Do we have to wait for two months?"

Xiahou Yu nodded: "That depends on how many experts Cang Mingyun is going to mobilize?"

Chen Xian nodded: "Last time I investigated the demon camp, I was blocked by the other demon saint, and he invited me to fight at Tianhaiya."

"What about Kui Niu?"

Xiahou Yu was slightly stunned, then said, "You are no match for him, don't fall for his trick."

Chen Xian nodded and said, "Then the imperial court has also made preparations, right?"

Xiahou Yu said: "You don't have to worry about this."

He continued, "I heard from Yuwen Pei that you beat Ning Li last month?"

Chen Xian explained the matter in detail.

Xiahou Yu shook his head helplessly after hearing this. "If he provokes you again, you don't have to hit him. Tell Yuwen Pei directly and let him handle it. If Yuwen Pei doesn't handle it, you can handle it according to military regulations. But remember, don't beat him to death."

"No matter what, he is a prince..." Xiahou Yu sent a voice message to Chen Xian, "To put it bluntly, it's okay for him to die in the hands of a demon, but it's not okay for him to die in your hands."

Chen Xian's eyes flashed slightly, and then he nodded.

Of course he understood that if he killed Ning Li, no matter what the reason, Emperor Ning would hate him for the rest of his life, and might even reward him while sending someone to kill him secretly.

This is how emperors always act.

"Marshal, I'd like to ask, how can I learn the method of transmitting sound? Last time, the demon saint Kui Niu transmitted sound to me thousands of miles away, but I used the power of Tiangang to transmit it." He asked.

Xiahou Yu smiled and said, "The method of transmitting sound is not a special method. Anyone who has reached the Jade Sea Realm can do it. He needs to vibrate the vital energy in his throat and use the vital energy to make a sound. This is a very basic method of transmitting sound."

"The more skilled ones use their throats to vibrate their spiritual consciousness to transmit sound. This type of sound transmission is not easy to be eavesdropped on, but people with much higher cultivation levels and stronger spiritual consciousness can still hear the spiritual consciousness transmission."

Chen Xian asked: "Is sound transmission divided into vital energy sound transmission and spiritual consciousness sound transmission?"

Xiahou Yu nodded: "There is no secret method. Everyone has mastered this method through gradual exploration. You can practice more when you go back. Over time, you will naturally master it."

"Thank you, Marshal, for telling me!" Chen Xian nodded. He had never known about this before and thought that there was some secret method to practice the art of sound transmission.

After leaving the Marshal's Mansion, Xiahou Feng insisted on taking Chen Xian out for a drink.

Chen Xian couldn't resist, so he accompanied Xiahou Feng to Zuiyue Tower. While drinking, Chen Xian asked Xiahou Feng whether the murderer who assassinated the marshal had been caught.

He was too embarrassed to ask in front of Xiahou Yu before, but now that they were both sitting in the side room, he finally spoke.

"No."

Xiahou Feng shook his head. After all, who could stop a seventh-level Tiangang Realm warrior from sneaking into the Demon-Suppressing Pass?
Unless the killer is caught on the spot, the killer will have already escaped when investigated afterwards.

That night, the demon army attacked the Demon Suppression Pass. The situation was so dangerous and there was chaos in front of the Demon Suppression Pass. The assassin failed and escaped, so there was no time to chase him.

"Can't guess who did it?" Chen Xian asked.

Xiahou Feng said, "You don't know that those princes and the people from the eight prefectures wish my third uncle would die. If he dies, our Xiahou family will have one less strong man. For them, it will be one less person who is vying for fame and fortune, and one less threat to the court."

Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly. He had heard from Tang Can that the Daning Dynasty had three kings, eight prefectures and sixteen marquises. These three kings did not refer to the royal princes or dukes, but the three kings of different surnames since the founding of the Daning Dynasty.

The Tang family is one of them, and the Xiahou family is the second.

Even if Xiahou Yu did not come to serve as the Marshal of the Demon-Suppressing Army, with the status of the Xiahou family in the Daning Dynasty and his own strength, no one would dare to provoke him, right?

This time, if Xiahou Yu and the Demon Saint had not been both injured in the fight, the assassin would have no chance to attack at all.

Of course, the mastermind was able to take action only because he saw this opportunity.

Chen Xian guessed that the mastermind behind this was at Zhenyao Pass, and only at Zhenyao Pass could he get the news of Xiahou Yu's injury in the first place.

The key point is that there are many people who want Xiahou Yu dead in front of Zhenyao Pass, so it is difficult to judge who is the mastermind behind it.

"Uncle Xiong said that the dagger in the assassin's hand was made of ten thousand year old cold crystal, and it was extremely sharp. He practiced a technique called Shadowless Killing that had been extinct in the martial arts world for hundreds of years."

"Shadowless Kill was originally one of the unique skills of the Killing Heaven Pavilion, but this skill was lost three hundred years ago. It is said that all the people in the Killing Heaven Pavilion who knew this skill died, so it was not passed down."

"It seems that Shadowless Killing has not disappeared."

"But that night, the assassin's Shadowless Killing Technique was not perfected, otherwise my Third Uncle would have been seriously injured. That person would definitely have been able to get close to him silently and kill him."

"Chen Xian, help me keep an eye out. The Tiangang Realm can kill without a shadow. That person must be the assassin that night."

Hearing this, Chen Xian nodded secretly: "Okay."

He had seen the assassination technique performed by the black-clad assassin that night and still had some impression of it in his mind.

When leaving Zuiyue Tower, Chen Xian bought a lot of wine and took it back to the camp outside the pass.

Xuanyang Pavilion.

top layer.

The third prince Ning Yang was sitting at the desk reading a book.

Soon Yun Wu appeared in the study and reported the situation to the third prince.

"So the Chiyang Sword Sect just left like that?" Ning Yang frowned slightly.

Bian Yunwu said: "Chiyang Sword Sect's leader Chiyangzi didn't do anything to Chen Xian. After leaving the Demon Suppression Pass, he led his disciples to the Black Abyss."

"Chen Xian was dragged by Xiahou Feng to Zuiyue Tower to drink, and he just left not long ago."

Ning Yang didn't say anything, and asked, "Have you found out how the Chiyang Sword Sect disciple died?"

Bian Yunwu shook his head: "I haven't found out. It's too weird. I know almost all the evil magic techniques banned in the Martial Arts Pavilion and in the martial arts world, but I have never seen that kind of death."

"Has a new evil martial art emerged in the martial arts world?" Ning Yang said with his eyes flashing.

"It's possible!" Bian Yunwu nodded.

Ning Yang said: "Yu Xuansong and his disciples from the Chiyang Sword Sect died in the Black Abyss. Take some time to go to the Black Abyss and see if there is anything suspicious."

Bian Yunwu's eyes flashed with solemnity: "Your Highness, it's not surprising that there are evil demons in the Black Abyss. That place was originally a forbidden area. With my strength, I can only go three to five thousand miles deep. If I go deeper, I'm afraid I can't get out."

"Then it's three to five thousand miles!" Ning Yang said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Bian Yunwu nodded and walked away.
