Chapter 964 - 302: City Breached, Secrets Revealed_5

The people who had arrived were precisely Shen Chongzhen and Zhou Xuan.

"Master."

"Brother Ming!"

The two came forward. Zhou Xuan glanced at Shen Chongming, then respectfully saluted Chu Xiangyu.

Shen Chongzhen, however, directly threw himself toward Shen Chongming, only to be instantly bounced back by a surge of power.

"Master."

He turned to look at Chu Xiangyu, a trace of pleading in his eyes.

Chu Xiangyu slowly raised her brows and cast a look at the still-hesitating elder of Purple Sun Mountain. Without waiting for his reply, she directly waved her hand and forcefully dispelled the binding power on Shen Chongming’s body.

Having regained his freedom, Shen Chongming immediately cupped his hands respectfully to Chu Xiangyu and said, "Many thanks, Senior, for your rescue."

Chu Xiangyu nodded slightly, then said softly, "You all go back to the Ice God Ark first."

The elder before her was the lord of Purple Sun Mountain. Purple Sun Mountain’s strength was inferior to Ice God Palace, but as a Lord of One Realm, the man certainly had a temper. Having had his plan ruined like this, he would likely insist on going through the proper motions.

Seeing the man already rescued, and sensing the two similarly abyssal auras on the Ice God Ark behind Chu Xiangyu, the elder of Purple Sun Mountain’s expression flickered, then he snorted coldly and said, "We’re leaving."

He swept his sleeve in a sudden motion, rolling up all the Purple Sun Mountain disciples present, and flew off into the distance.

Watching his figure disappear, Chu Xiangyu also returned to the Ice God Ark.

At this moment Shen Chongzhen’s expression was dark as he stared at Shen Chongming, who sat cross-legged before him, regulating his Qi and healing his injuries.

"Master."

Seeing Chu Xiangyu approach, he respectfully cupped his hands and said, "I beg Master to help my elder brother."

Chu Xiangyu did not speak. She walked slowly to Shen Chongming, stared at his body for a moment, then said in a low voice, "He has already Fallen into Demon. However, the Demonic Qi in his body is being forcibly suppressed by some kind of power."

"In this kind of situation, ordinary external force will not only fail to help him, it may even trigger his instinctive resistance and drive him deeper into madness."

Hearing this, Shen Chongzhen’s heart sank.

At the side, Zhou Xuan, after a brief consideration, spoke up, "Master, can a Tribulation Crossing Pill help him eradicate the Demonic Qi?"

Shen Chongzhen also looked toward Chu Xiangyu with hopeful eyes.

He didn’t know what a ’Tribulation Crossing Pill’ was, but since Zhou Xuan had brought it up, that meant this Pill was of help to those who had suffered Qi deviation and fallen into madness.

"A Tribulation Crossing Pill can indeed."

"However, let alone our Ice God Palace—there likely aren’t more than a few such Pills in the entire Cangmin Sea Region."

Looking at Shen Chongming, a hint of regret flashed across Chu Xiangyu’s face.

A mutated Thunder Attribute cultivator, who had achieved Purple Mansion in less than a hundred years, with a surging aura all over his body, clearly blessed with some fortuitous encounters—had he not suffered such an accident, then in the future, upon reaching Nascent Soul Perfection, he would definitely have been another powerhouse capable of ascending the ’Heaven Rankings’.

She had already agreed to marry Zhou Xuan to Shen Chongzhen; Ice God Palace and the Shen Family would be bound by marriage.

For the Shen Family to have one more Heaven Rankings expert would also be a boon for Ice God Palace.

Yet now, such a cultivator with immense potential had been ruined like this; it was hard not to feel a sense of regret.

Shen Chongzhen looked worriedly at Shen Chongming before him, a trace of remorse flashing across his face.

"Enough, you don’t need to worry so much."

"That power suppressing the Demonic Qi in his body is rather peculiar. I imagine he won’t lose control in the short term."

"Your Shen Family’s fortune runs deep. In the future, you might truly find a Tribulation Crossing Pill to cleanse him of Demonic Qi."

"Come, take me to discuss your marriage with Xuan’Er together with your family."

Chu Xiangyu spoke, and Shen Chongzhen could only press down the worry in his heart.

The massive Ice God Ark slowly flew toward Yunshui City.

When the Ice God Ark reached the outskirts of Yunshui City, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs guarding outside the city all had a slight change in expression.

Ice God Palace was a force no weaker than Cyan Moon Dao Sect.

Originally, with Cyan Moon Dao Sect, the Daqu Secret Realm, and Vast Sky Mountain forming a three-way stand-off, the other forces already felt their chances of seizing that Treasure Blood were rather slim.

And now, with another powerful opponent like Ice God Palace joining the fray, they naturally grew even more uneasy.

"Hm?"

"What is this layer of light barrier outside Yunshui City?"

After everyone disembarked from the Ice God Ark, Zhou Xuan suddenly noticed that the Ren Water Concealing Spirit Array above Yunshui City had vanished, replaced by a gigantic turtle-shaped phantom that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Shen Chongzhen was just as baffled.

He had already left with Zhou Xuan before the Dao collapse, and thus had no idea what had happened in Yunshui City recently.

And just as Shen Chongzhen and the Ice God Palace crowd were puzzled, on the other side of the Ba Xia phantom, the sword-bearing man of Cyan Moon Dao Sect suddenly moved.

He slowly drew the longsword from his back.

Seeing this, Ning Zhen at his side hesitated slightly, then still cupped his hands and said, "Master, the people of Ice God Palace have arrived."

"Should this disciple go speak to them?"

The middle-aged man held his longsword, his gaze calmly fixed on the Ba Xia phantom above Yunshui City as he said coolly, "No need."

"The three days are up."

As his words fell, a surge of sword intent suddenly erupted from his body, piercing straight into the heavens!

Boom!

Under the influence of his Sword Intent, the surrounding void violently trembled!

"They’re making a move!"

On the other side, seeing this, the elder of the Daqu Secret Realm no longer paid attention to Ice God Palace’s actions. His figure flickered, and he directly appeared above the Ba Xia phantom!

The many Nascent Soul True Monarchs of other forces nearby, seeing that Cyan Moon Dao Sect and the Daqu Secret Realm had already attacked, also ceased paying attention to Ice God Palace. One after another, they rose and surged forward, rousing their Spiritual Power to jointly launch an assault on the Ba Xia phantom!

"What are they trying to do!?"

With more than twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs striking at once, the space that had only just recovered was instantly driven by one terrifying aura after another into countless cracks!
