Chapter 590 - 250: Soul-Stealing, Bloodline Puppet

Next, it seemed that after witnessing Chen Ping’s strong soul, his divine sense could fathom the intricacies to an unbelievable degree.

The golden-robed man closed his eyes tightly, forcibly using a secret technique to lock his heart and soul fluctuations, no longer paying attention to the slightest outside.

He was treating himself as a living corpse.

"Cut him twice."

Chen Ping casually let go of the golden-robed man he was holding, giving the order.

Fang Shen stepped forward, slashing the golden-robed man’s thigh heavily, cutting so deep that the bone could be seen, yet the golden-robed man’s brow did not furrow, nor did his emotions ripple.

Thus, Chen Ping knew that this person truly did not see his life as a life.

’Either he sees life and death lightly, not treating life as life as a death warrior. Or he believes this predicament is temporary, assured that I dare not kill him, or believes someone will come to rescue.’

As a Divine Martial Realm Fourth Layer expert, he has at least four hundred years of lifespan; it is unlikely he will toss away life and death lightly.

No one would suit such a person as cannon fodder or sacrificial death warrior.

The only possibility is that this person thinks, should his origins be revealed and secrets leaked, it may lead to a fate more disgraceful than death.

"Could it be family and clan ties..."

Chen Ping pondered carefully for a while but could not grasp it.

He only determined that this person is from the Imperial Extreme Hall and must have his own plans.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t do so many things without any reason.

He now understands that although the Nine Demon Suppression Halls have strong influence within the Star Luo Sea Domain, there are significant disputes within the halls, secret killings, reaching a fever pitch.

Either secretly joining hands or stabbing in the back; deceit and stratagems abound.

On the surface, he seems to be vying for supremacy, unrelated to disputes with the Nine Demon Suppression Halls, but practically, he has long been deeply entrenched, unable to extricate himself.

Even now, telling others he has no intention to take sides.

It is likely that no one would believe him.

Because the bloodline heritage of this body and its origin naturally stand on the side of the Fubo Island faction.

That is to say, he belongs to the Azure Dragon Hall side.

"What a headache."

Chen Ping sighed deeply.

Thankfully, through several Trace Origin and Steal Fotune processes, he has understood a wealth of information.

And further comprehended, within the Star Luo Sea Domain Thirty-Six Islands, there seem to be restrictions set by unfathomably powerful individuals; some people, some methods cannot be used.

If this hypothesis proves true.

Then he is very much in a position to seize opportunities.

If his guess is wrong, the issue becomes troublesome.

However, as long as he considered the giant hairy hand seen within Venerable Yuxiao’s memory, and the black horned head that was immediately shattered into powder, his heart steadied somewhat.

"Indeed, overly powerful experts should not be able to enter, otherwise, there wouldn’t be Ji Hai involved nor Black Lotus Hall people stirring up trouble and war; just a single master above Divine Martial would directly sweep across, diminishing so many troubles..."

"This is my opportunity."

Chen Ping chuckled lightly, standing up.

Ji Mingyue’s speed was remarkable; it must be said, her people at the Celestial Heart Pavilion may not have overly strong combat power, but in gathering intelligence, they are quite efficient.

"Seventh Brother, you guessed right; there are indeed many fresh footprints at Eagle’s Beak Cliff in the west...

Not only are there numerous human footprints, but also hoof prints."

Ji Mingyue reported quietly, obviously having noticed the irregularity.

As the chief official of intelligence, the most crucial quality is a meticulous mind, adept at identifying the unusual from all kinds of details.

She did not think these events were all mere coincidences.

It can only be said that during this period, a massive force secretly hid in the mountain and forest high cliffs, without alerting the Celestial Gate Pass scouts, there must be a secret.

Further linking to the numerous assassination events of late, and the smear campaign against King Ping’s reputation, one can vaguely discern that a vast invisible net is slowly opening.

All the same, sweep across and clear the Wind and Cloud Pavilion assassins with mighty martial power, drawing out the conspirators behind them, capturing the Divine Martial Realm great fish, but it’s not to say this net is completely destroyed.

More likely, just a single link has been disrupted.

The reasoning is simple.

Clearly knowing, even Venerable Yuxiao has fallen to Chen Ping’s hand.

How confident are they, relying on just one Divine Martial Fourth Layer, to bury Chen Ping in Soul-Breaking Valley.

If truly believing that this golden-robed Divine Martial was specifically targeting Han Xiaoru and Ji Mingyue, one would be naive.

"Didn’t spook the snake, did we?"

Chen Ping glanced at the golden-robed man who was still "feigning death," severing his soul perception, and smirked coldly before suddenly drawing his sword for a slash.

A sword light divided into four, whistling sharply as it severed the golden-robed man’s limbs, then he handed him to a nearby Primordial Disciple, instructing: "Watch him closely, dress his wounds, feed him medicinal supplements, absolutely not let him die prematurely. If he wakes up, immediately knock him out."

Since you want to feign death, continue playing dead.

Chen Ping waved his hand, transforming into thin smoke, swiftly heading west.

Behind him, Han Xiaoru, Ji Mingyue, and five Unity Realm individuals followed closely.

The reason for not killing this unknown Divine Martial Fourth Layer master on the spot is because, since the death of Venerable Yuxiao, Chen Ping understood.

Here, killing Divine Martial Realm masters would lead to rainbows appearing; if there are various means attached to the individual, then even a blind person would see that a change has occurred in Soul-Breaking Valley.
