Chapter 1701: Chapter 866
“Indeed, it’s the first time I’ve seen such shameless people!”
Chen Mobai immediately chimed in with Qing Nu’s comment, holding deep disdain for Zhu Jun in his heart. Although he is a Golden Core cultivator who has achieved perfect core formation, in the end, resorting to seduction with beauty — doesn’t he know that he is renowned as a gentleman here?
“I will go and check the people inside the palace.”
To avoid giving Qing Nu any thoughts, Chen Mobai immediately pointed to the golden palace not far away.
However, the restrictions here were left by three Nascent Soul cultivators, and even with his strength, he couldn’t unravel them.
Chen Mobai carefully investigated and found that all these restrictions were attributes of the Five Elements. He only needed to use Primordial True Qi to dissolve them.
But because the amount of Primordial True Qi the Formless Puppet could mobilize was limited, it might take some time.
Inside the palace.
The Foundation Establishment Practitioners deceived by Yuji Hermit were bound by crimson chains, confined at nine different positions.
Their wrists were slit open, and blood continuously dripped onto the ground, being drawn by a formation already arranged to seep into a Red Jade Monument.
By this time, they all understood they were used as sacrifices for breaking the seal by Yuji Hermit.
Some wailed and cursed in anger, others felt utterly defeated, and more had already closed their eyes in despair, waiting for death.
“Fellow Daoists, please save your strength. Perhaps righteous cultivators will discover this place and save us soon,”
The lone Eastern Wasteland cultivator, Xiang Xieyuan, still harbored a sliver of hope, persuading the four who were cursing in anger.
“This isn’t the East Land, where would righteous cultivators come from?”
The Foundation Establishment Practitioner named Miao Yibao from Dongwu spoke with a sneer after hearing this.
“The Five Elements Sect is the righteous path of the Eastern Wasteland!”
Xiang Xieyuan said with a serious expression, his words immediately making four or five despairing people lift their heads, a hint of hope appearing in their eyes.
But at that moment, a mocking laughter rang out: “Outside, there are at least two Rank-3 demonic beasts. Unless Sect Leader Immortal Venerate Chen personally arrives, relying on the power of this Cave Dwelling, even if Eastern Wasteland Golden Core cultivators all came, before we bleed to death, they wouldn’t be able to break through. Moreover, do you think we are worth Immortal Venerate Chen personally intervening?”
The speaker was still Miao Yibao; as an East Wu cultivator, even though he lived in Northern Abyss City these years, he firmly believed the world was dark.
The Five Elements Sect merely aims for greater benefits, which is why they established rules in the Eastern Wasteland.
Not to mention how the Five Elements Sect would even know they are trapped here, even if they did, a hard-shelled Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t act for a few people not from the Five Elements Sect!
Once Miao Yibao’s words fell, the little hope the few Foundation Establishment Practitioners had immediately turned to utter hopelessness.
Even Xiang Xieyuan felt the same and had only said that to give himself a ray of hope.
The brutally clear-minded Miao Yibao wouldn’t even allow him that thin thread of hope.
In his despair and anger, Xiang Xieyuan harbors deep resentment towards Miao Yibao.
Despite being the oldest among these Foundation Establishment Practitioners and growing weaker with the loss of essence blood, at this critical moment, the fear of death suddenly inspired a sense of unwillingness, prompting him to angrily rebuke.
“It’s all because of that bastard spawn Yu Ji, back then, Immortal Venerate Chen didn’t dare let you Dongwu dogs enter Northern Abyss City…”
In extreme anger, Xiang Xieyuan began to curse at different regions. All present were Dongwu cultivators, and hearing it made them glare furiously at him,
“It’s her fault alone, how can it be blamed on all of Dongwu!”
“Indeed, you can know someone’s face but not their heart; her wickedness doesn’t mean there aren’t good people among Dongwu cultivators!”
“Even we, her fellow countrymen, were tricked by her…”
“If I weren’t immobilized, I’d definitely show you this Dongwu cultivator’s might…”
At the final moment of death, these Foundation Establishment Practitioners all expressed their inner fear through words.
Just as they prepared to descend into hysteria, a loud rumbling suddenly sounded.
Their gazes immediately turned toward the direction of the rumbling, discovering it was the palace’s door!
Under their hopeful gazes, the doors swung open.
As Chen Mobai stepped inside, he saw the nine individuals pierced through the shoulder blades by chains.
Upon seeing him, the nine immediately struggled, their eyes wide in disbelief!
“The thieves of the Sun Bathing Sea have been vanquished, you are all safe now. Do not get agitated to avoid triggering stronger restrictions, damaging your essence!”
Chen Mobai spoke with a smile, then came to stand before Xiang Xieyuan, reaching out to touch the crimson chains.
He discovered that this was likely arranged by Zhu Jun, using materials and restrictions of Rank-3 level only.
Even without activating the Extreme Sun Slash and Primordial True Qi, a ball of golden flame ignited in his palm, transforming into a Flame Sun Slash that cut through all the chains in an instant.
Then, the chains sliced by the Flame Sun Slash seemed to melt like iron bars under high temperatures, breaking apart with red-hot iron liquid!
The nine Foundation Establishment practitioners originally bound in mid-air suddenly fell down, but their bodies’ pain could not conceal the joy in their hearts.
They endured the severe pain, simply stopped the bleeding, and all performed a grand courtesy to Chen Mobai!
“Thank you, Senior, for your help. Please leave your name so we can worship your Longevity Plaque for generations to come.”
After the ceremony, Miao Yibao hurriedly spoke up with these words.
“No need for such courtesy. Since you are residents of my Northern Abyss City, encountering such a matter gives me no reason to stand idly by.”
Chen Mobai spoke up, then waved his hand to let them rise, removing the chains from their shoulder blades simultaneously.
“Is Senior… the Immortal Venerate Chen of the Five Elements Sect!?”
Miao Yibao’s mouth gaped in disbelief.
These Foundation Establishment practitioners were not members of the Five Elements Sect and had never met Chen Mobai.
“I dare not claim the title of Immortal Venerate, merely having walked a few steps ahead of you in cultivation.”
Chen Mobai smiled and admitted his identity.
Xiang Xieyuan and others immediately turned their gaze to Miao Yibao, who hesitated not in the slightest and slapped himself before performing another grand courtesy to Chen Mobai.
Hearing Miao Yibao apologizing while slapping, Chen Mobai finally understood why he did so and promptly stopped him.
“It was but a thoughtless remark, no need to mind it.”
Then, Chen Mobai led them away from this palace.
Outside, Qing Nu had already cleaned up the corpse of the demonic beast, taking away everything that could be useful.
“This person is Zhu Jun of the Sun Bathing Sea, also the main culprit who harmed you…”
Chen Mobai pointed to Zhu Jun, whom he had decapitated, and Xiang Xieyuan and the nine Foundation Establishment practitioners bared their teeth and angrily scolded her corpse.
“There’s also a teleportation array here, laid out by Yuji Hermit, you all come with me, and later, I’ll need you to testify against Yuji Hermit’s crimes.”
Chen Mobai spoke, and Xiang Xieyuan and others immediately nodded, indicating they would follow the orders of Immortal Venerate Chen.
The ancient teleportation arrays allowing entry and exit were the handiwork of Yuji Hermit, as the location was not far from Wind Rain Hamlet. If entering directly and sensing Rank-5 spiritual energy, perhaps careful individuals might suspect it was the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.
By detouring far and entering through the ancient teleportation array, Xiang Xieyuan and others would believe they were exploring an ancient cave dwelling.
Two ancient teleportation arrays were laid out: one for entrance and one for exit.
After the Formless Puppet led the nine out, Chen Mobai himself performed Void Walk to enter here.
After confirming there were no Rank-4 Poisonous Dragons, he no longer needed to be so cautious.
Once entering the palace, Chen Mobai added a seal outside, then destroyed both ancient teleportation arrays to prevent future practitioners from accidentally entering here.
…
A surface of water in Yun Meng Ze.
Yuji Hermit and Hong He emerged after leaving the cave dwelling through an ancient teleportation array.
“Junior Brother, you should hide for a while after this. When things settle down, I’ll take you to see Master!”
Having obtained the Core Formation spiritual liquid, Yuji Hermit’s face was overwhelmingly excited, but she didn’t forget the powerful Hong He beside her, immediately sending him off.
“Senior Sister, where do you plan to form your core, by Master’s side? Why not take me with you?”
Hong He tentatively asked.
But Yuji Hermit looked at him warily and shook her head.
“Master is recently in secluded cultivation learning a great method, and I dare not disturb him. Northern Abyss City isn’t bad; I’ll pretend that when exploring the cave with Xiang Xieyuan and them, I encountered a crisis, and only I escaped alive.”
Hong He’s mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this.
“Senior Sister, isn’t that leaving too many traces?”
Teaming up to explore a cave dwelling but only one survived; anyone using their brain would find it suspicious.
“Northern Abyss City is Immortal Venerate Chen’s territory, and as long as there’s no definite evidence, no one can catch me!”
