Chapter 144

The sky was constantly trembling, and strange beasts were trampling on the void. On this day, Cangli Ancient City was in chaos. The anger of the Li Family spread throughout the ancient city, causing the city to constantly tremble.

Many cultivators were angry, but they didn't dare to speak out.

The four city gates were tightly closed, guarded by many guards. They held fierce weapons in their hands and were filled with murderous intent.

"Why can't we go out?"

"Yeah, is the Li Family the only big family in Cangli City?"

"You're just a family. Why do you have to close the entire city gates?"

"Don't forget, there's still the Cang Family in Cangli City."

At each city gate, many cultivators who wanted to leave confronted the guards. Their words were sharp, and they stood on the side of justice.

"The Li Family has ordered that the city gates will be completely closed from today onwards. You can enter, but you can't leave!"

The people of the Li Family only responded indifferently in the face of many questions, and then remained silent.

"Why? Your Li Family lost something, but you want all of us to wait here. Your things are precious, but our time is not?"

"Yeah, your Li Family is too overbearing. I have an urgent matter to attend to in Yunxia City. I need to negotiate a business deal with a profit of thousands of yuan stones. Can you afford to pay for the delay?"

"Closing the city gates, allowing entry but not exit. The Li Family is so overbearing."

"You lost something, but you don't reflect on your mistakes. Instead, you want to trap us. You've already searched us before, and now you don't let us go out. Is there any law in Cangli City?"

"Yeah, besides the Li Family, there's also the Cang Family in Cangli City. What makes you think you can do that?"

Many people were dissatisfied, and they were complaining and questioning the people of the Li Family. Many of them were True Energy Realm cultivators, and they didn't care about the taboo because of their strength.

"The city gates are closed. You can enter, but not exit. After three breaths, everyone will leave the city gates. Otherwise, you'll be killed without mercy!"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from the sky, followed by a terrifying pressure. A strong cultivator in a black robe appeared in the sky. In one step, he covered hundreds of meters.

His expression was indifferent, and his eyes flashed with cold light. The words just now were said by Yu Kong.

Many people's expressions changed when they saw Zaikong's appearance. It was obvious that the Li Clan had lost something extraordinary this time. Even Zaikong was sent out.

"What is the law? The Li Clan is the law. Why? Because this is Cangli City, and we are the people of the Li Clan." The Zephyr Warrior appeared and stood in the air above the city gate. He glanced at the people below and said coldly.

"What's so great about the Li Clan? There is still the Cang Clan in the Cang Li City." A True Element Boundary cultivator said. Obviously, he wanted to use the Cang Clan to restrain the Li Clan.

"From now on, until the city gate opens again, Cangli City's Li Family has the final say." The Zephyr Realm expert's voice was indifferent.

"Hmph, what big words." Someone muttered in a low voice, feeling very dissatisfied.

"In the Sky Martial Continent, the strong are revered. Whether or not you speak big, it doesn't seem like it's up to you, a mere True Energy Realm practitioner."

The Zephyr Plane cultivator said coldly as he glanced at the True Energy Boundary cultivator. In the next moment, he pointed his finger at the other party.

Like a thread of energy, it instantly rushed towards the True Energy Boundary. The True Energy Boundary cultivator did not expect the other party to attack, so he had no time to react and was instantly struck by the thread.

"Peng!"

The True Energy Boundary cultivator's eyes turned black as he fell to the ground without a sound. A True Energy Boundary cultivator had died just like that.

"From now on, whoever dares to speak rudely will be killed without mercy!" The Zephyr Plane cultivator said with a cold face.

"Yes!"

Voices rang out one after another, shaking the void and the earth. One after another, experts riding strange beasts arrived and guarded the city gate.

Those who were clamoring before all shut their mouths completely when they saw a True Energy Boundary cultivator die in a single blow. Their eyes were filled with fear as they retreated.

This was only one city gate. The Zephyr Plane cultivator was still easy to deal with. As for the other three city gates, there were rivers of blood. The smell of blood permeated the entire city gate. Many cultivators with extraordinary strength tried to reason with the Zephyr Plane cultivator.

However, the Zephyr Plane cultivator did not care about them at all. There was only one word, kill!

Blade light and sword shadows filled the air as killing intent filled the air. Many corpses fell at the city gate. In the distance, a group of terrified cultivators who were clamoring before no longer dared to step forward.

The Li Family sealed the city gate and sent out experts to search the city. For this reason, the Cang Family did not voice any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, they were very cooperative.

During this period, the terrifying voice from before was heard several times. Cangli City ushered in a great purge.

A supreme secret codex was lost, and all suspicious people were suspected. Even if they killed the wrong person, they would not let anyone go. These days, even the clouds in the sky above Cangli City were suffused with red. The thick smell of blood almost filled the entire city.

In the city, none of the cultivators were spared. Not to mention True Energy Boundary cultivators, even Airborne Boundary cultivators had to lie down.

On the fifth day, a Zephyr Plane cultivator tried to force his way out of Cangli City, causing a great battle in the sky. In the end, a terrifying voice rang out. With just a cold snort, the Zephyr Plane cultivator was killed.

With the death of the Zephyr Plane cultivator, although the ancient city was filled with resentment, no one dared to voice their dissatisfaction. They could only obediently cooperate with the search.

"Benefactor, have you seen such a person before?"

"Amitabha. May I ask if you have seen a dark-skinned boy?"

"This old monk wants to ask about a person, a dark-skinned boy. He is young, dark-skinned, and has a dark face. He is very easy to recognize."

During this period, the Evil Good Monk did not give up looking for Zi Chen. He appeared all over the ancient city and kept asking.

When the Zephyr Plane cultivator was killed, the latter's expression changed. He did not dare to ask anymore and could only find someone to draw a portrait. The person in the portrait was young, dark-skinned, and had a pair of extremely bright eyes.

"Benefactor, may I ask if you have seen him?"

"Benefactor!"

The monk still did not give up. He did not think that the dark-skinned boy had the ability to discover the secret codex. It was a supreme secret codex.

"Oh, he owes me vitality stones. It has been a few days."

"Yes, yes, yes. This dark-skinned boy is very evil. He even cheated the monks of their money. I hope you will be more careful."

The monk still persevered. Every day, he saw suspicious people being killed one by one, and he felt very nervous.

Ten days, a full ten days, and the massacre was still going on. The entire Cangli City was filled with blood and resentment. It was like a dead city.

"Search, search!"

In an inn, another wave of guards rushed in. They used to be people of Cangli City, but now they were serving the Li Family. They searched over and over again.

They came to the inn almost every day to search.

"Did anyone suspicious come by today?" The leader of the guards asked coldly.

"No, no, this is the list, and there are so many people." The manager was in fear and trepidation, and then secretly stuffed some vitality stones into the leader's hands.

The leader of the guards nodded and glanced at the list. There was a person named Chen Zi who had been here for ten days.

"Why is he still here?" The leader of the guards looked indifferent and cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Sir, now that the city is sealed, you can't go out. It's good enough that you have an inn to stay in. If you go outside, you'll be dead!" The manager hurriedly said.

Currently, almost all the inns in Cangli City were full. Those who didn't have a place to stay in inns had also found many private houses. Those who didn't even find a private house were all suspicious people. In the past ten days, there were too many suspicious people in Cangli City.

After receiving the vitality stones, the guards did not leave. Threatening to see Chen Zi was just a symbolic gesture.

The manager was helpless and could only lead the guards upstairs.

"Dong dong dong!" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Zi Chen was cultivating in his room. Since he came here, he had been cultivating for ten days. Except for the necessary meals, he had been comprehending the supreme body refining secret method day and night. In these ten days, he had made some progress.

"Who is it?" Zi Chen's indifferent voice sounded.

"Sir, it's me. This sir wants to search." The manager's voice sounded outside the door.

"Search?" Zi Chen frowned. Then, he said, "Oh, I'll open the door."

Zi Chen got up, got off the bed, and walked towards the door. When he took the first step, his body emitted a faint golden light. When he took the second step, the golden light filled his entire body. When he took the third step, Zi Chen's body actually shrank by ten centimeters. At the same time, his previously handsome face had also become ugly.

At the same time, his strength of the early stage of the Xiantian Realm also decreased. He was now at the sixth stage of the Xiantian Realm.

A few steps ago, Zi Chen's appearance had completely changed. He had become an ordinary cultivator. All of this came from the supreme secret method. Not only could it cultivate one's body to the extreme, but it could also change one's appearance at will.

The door opened and the guard walked in. As for the manager, he stayed outside obediently. This made Zi Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

Since he had already given the benefits, the guard just casually inspected him. After a quick glance, he looked at Zi Chen again. He was really ugly, so he didn't pay much attention to him.

After casually asking Zi Chen a few questions, he turned around and left. Everything was superfluous. How could a mere sixth stage Xiantian Realm cultivator have the ability to take away the Li Family's things?

This was the first time Zi Chen had been inspected in ten days. He was glad that he had given the four primordial stones to the manager and stayed here at a high price.

After ten days of meditation, Zi Chen's physique was changing. Although Evil Monk An did not have good intentions back then, he was right about one thing. When things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. Zi Chen cultivated the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Art. His physique was strong, not something that ordinary cultivators could compare with. He walked the path of extreme toughness.

The physique tempered by such a cultivation method was terrifying, but not perfect.

This time, he had coincidentally obtained a supplementary secret method. It could be said that it was like sending charcoal in snowy weather, like adding wings to a tiger. Zi Chen's physique could reach perfection. From now on, he had reached the peak of physique cultivation. A cultivation path was unfolding in front of Zi Chen.

In the blink of an eye, another five days had passed. The city had been sealed for fifteen days. The entire city was filled with murderous aura. Everyone was in a state of panic. Endless resentment surged in the air and didn't dissipate.

Cangli City was very strange. The ancient city gate was closed, and the entire city seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world. The murderous aura, murderous aura, and resentment couldn't dissipate.

After fifteen days of killing many people, the Li Family still hadn't found any clues about the supreme secret method.

Cangli City didn't only have the Li Family, but also the Cang Family. Although they didn't say anything at the beginning, it didn't mean they wouldn't say anything.

On the twentieth day of the city's lockdown, the closed city gate finally opened.

Crack!

Crack! As the ancient city gate opened, Cangli City was once again connected to the outside world. A murderous aura filled with murderous intent rose into the sky and spread out of the city. At the same time, all the cultivators who had been on tenterhooks breathed a sigh of relief.
