Chapter 248

"Boom!"

Murderous intent swept across the Zhanying Valley like a flood. Many cultivators who had yet to leave felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Zi Chen!"

Li Hao shouted furiously. He stood on the back of the Roc and a terrifying aura surged around him.

The Zhanying Valley was a few hundred miles away from the Cangli City. When he received the news of Zi Chen's appearance, he immediately rushed over, but he was still too late.

On the high platform, corpses were strewn everywhere. Their blood had dried up and turned dark brown. The broken limbs were a shocking sight.

Many of the Li family members didn't even have a complete corpse.

"Boom!"

The aura was violent and murderous. The high platform couldn't withstand the aura and exploded instantly.

"Where's Zi Chen?" Li Hao glanced at the people below who hadn't left yet.

Seeing the crazy murderous intent in Li Hao's eyes, everyone's heart trembled and they felt a great pressure. Someone said in horror, "He … he left."

"Puff."

A red light appeared in the sky and instantly cut the Level Three cultivator in half. Li Hao's cold voice resounded in the sky, "Can't I see that he left?"

His words were cold and his attacks were ruthless.

One person was killed in an instant and blood splattered everywhere. Everyone was shocked and could feel Li Hao's anger at the moment. Obviously, he was infuriated by Zi Chen.

Zi Chen was just a rogue cultivator, but he had always been slapping the faces of the major forces.

"He escaped in this direction."

Someone was very smart and pointed out the direction Zi Chen left. The word was also very accurate. He said that he escaped, not left.

"Hmph."

Li Hao coldly snorted. The Roc beneath him let out a piercing cry. It turned around and chased after Zi Chen.

"Phew."

Li Hao's departure caused everyone to heave a sigh of relief. Killing without a word, Li Hao's tyranny caused many people to break out in cold sweat.

However, at that moment, another bestial roar resounded through the air. The monstrous genius of the Great Sect, Wu Yuan, had appeared.

However, the other party didn't stop. He directly chased after Li Hao and urged the strange beast to chase after him.

Cang Meng carried a black blade on his back and rode on a strange beast, quickly passing through the Zhanying Valley.

"The three monstrous geniuses are here."

"Looks like Zi Chen is going to cause a sensation again."

"He has slain all the major factions at the Severing Chen Conference. This time, it will definitely cause a huge commotion, and the major factions will lose all their face. What follows will obviously be a series of pursuits. I wonder if Zi Chen will be able to escape."

Zi Chen was very slippery. Ever since his debut, he had always been hunted down, but he lived on like a cockroach.

Everyone was afraid that the three monstrous geniuses would find trouble with them if they couldn't find Zi Chen, so they left in a hurry.

On that very day, the news that Zi Chen had personally hurried to the Severing Chen Assembly and killed all the members of the three great forces had already spread, causing a great commotion once again.

"Zi Chen has appeared again."

"His strength actually made a breakthrough. Furthermore, he cultivated an evil technique that nearly caused his cultivation to go berserk."

"Zi Chen's battle prowess is unparalleled. He can kill a Level Three or Level Four expert in one hit."

The news about Zi Chen spread throughout the major cities on that very day, causing a huge commotion.

At the same time, several major factions announced in a high-profile manner that anyone who provided clues about Zi Chen's death would be rewarded with a thousand Yuan Stones.

Just as the three factions sent experts to hunt down Zi Chen, the latter was hiding in a secret place, counting his gains.

Beside him were four Spatial Spirit Rings. The items inside had already been emptied, and in front of him were piles of Yuan Stones. In addition, there were some spirit herbs and pills.

Everything in front of him was all the gains he had made during this period of time. Zi Chen was counting them today.

The shiny white Yuan Stones emitted rich Yuan Qi, dazzling one's eyes. After careful counting, Zi Chen obtained an accurate number.

"Five thousand and forty-nine."

Five thousand Yuan Stones was a huge sum. Zi Chen was excited when he saw this.

"It's only five thousand Yuan Stones. Not only does it have to be used to temper the Perfect Body, but it also has to provide Yuan Qi in the body. It won't take long." Ah Mo appeared from the Taiji diagram. When he saw Zi Chen's excited expression, he curled his lips.

It was only five thousand Yuan Stones, yet he was so excited.

"Five thousand Yuan Stones isn't a small sum. At the very least, it's enough for a period of time."

Zi Chen smiled. Elder Mo was someone who had seen the world, so he naturally didn't care about a mere five thousand Yuan Stones. However, Zi Chen knew that if he took out five thousand Yuan Stones, not to mention others, even the monk would go crazy.

Apart from the Yuan Stones, there was also a weapon comparable to the Blazing Sword. It was very tough, and its price wasn't low. Zi Chen decided to find an opportunity to sell it.

With a breakthrough in strength and a transformation of the Perfect Body, every bone in Zi Chen's body could be changed without any clues.

Therefore, he wasn't worried that the factions would be able to find him in the vast sea of people.

Having just killed so many people from the three factions, it would naturally cause a commotion. Zi Chen simply hid for a few days.

"Zi Chen, come out."

Just as he left the dense forest, Zi Chen heard the cries of the roc and Li Hao's angry voice.

"Idiot, I'll deal with you when I have the time." Zi Chen turned his head and sneered.

His bones crackled as golden light flashed. In a few seconds, he had transformed into another person.

After walking for dozens of miles, Zi Chen saw a small town. Walking into the town was like a dragon entering the sea. It was simply a dream to find him in the vast crowd.

Zi Chen settled down in the small town and began to cultivate.

He had five thousand Yuan Stones and could be considered rich. He constantly absorbed the Yuan Stones' Yuan Qi.

Last time in the Land of Inheritance, many of the extreme Yin and Yang energies were hidden in his meridians. Now that he had broken through, Zi Chen wanted to slowly refine the dormant Yuan Qi by activating the Yin-Yang Art to increase his strength.

There were nine levels of Quintessential Energy, and each level was harder than the last.

Relatively speaking, it was relatively easy to break through from the first level to the second level.

"Pa."

In the room, a Yuan Stone had all its Yuan Qi absorbed. It instantly shattered and fell to the ground.

Zi Chen took out another Yuan Stone and activated the Yin-Yang Art to absorb it.

On the ground, there were more than a dozen shattered Yuan Stones.

Zi Chen was cultivating in the town. In the outside world, the three factions were almost crazy. They posted wanted posters in almost every town outside Cangli City.

At the same time, they also spent a lot of money to hire assassins from the Assassin Pavilion to kill Zi Chen.

As long as Zi Chen was alive, it would be the greatest insult to the three factions. It would make them feel a burning pain in their faces.

In the streets and alleys, in the mountains and dense forests, there were always figures. They were all looking for Zi Chen.

Five days later, Zi Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes.

His body was filled with a strong aura. His Yuan Qi had reached the peak of the first level, and was not far from the second level.

Apart from absorbing some of the lightning energy when he was refining his body, the reason he could have such a big breakthrough in such a short time was because Zi Chen had refined a lot of the dormant energy in his meridians.

Zi Chen guessed that if he refined all of this energy, he would be able to break through to the third level. But it would take time.

Walking out of the room, Zi Chen ordered some food.

Then, he strolled around the town. During this time, he saw many unfamiliar faces. Then, he saw a lot of wanted posters.

"Wanted posters? Hmph, who do you think you are?" Zi Chen snorted with disdain.

He could now change his appearance at will. Even if he flew, he would not be able to see through it. So he was not afraid.

"One thousand Yuan Stones. What a big deal."

Seeing the reward of one thousand Yuan Stones, Zi Chen curled his lips. Now that he was worth five thousand Yuan Stones, a mere one thousand Yuan Stones was nothing to him.

In the streets and alleys, in the teahouses and restaurants, people were talking about Zi Chen.

"Who is this Zi Chen? He can make a big force pay one thousand Yuan Stones to find him."

"Who knows? He should be an expert."

Even some mortals were talking about him. It was obvious that Zi Chen was famous.

Zi Chen's original intention was to go to Cangli City and sell some useless things in exchange for Yuan Stones. But after seeing the wanted posters, he changed his mind.

The most important thing now was to break through his strength.

This time, Zi Chen went into seclusion for seven days and consumed hundreds of Yuan Stones. His Yuan Qi finally reached the peak and was about to break through to the second level.

"Your breakthrough will definitely attract a Lightning Tribulation. This time, it will be the second level Lightning Tribulation. It will be very powerful. You have to be careful." Ah Mo warned.

So on that day, Zi Chen left the town.

A hundred miles away, there was a large mountain forest suitable for him to break through.

This was an extremely large forest. Ancient trees stood tall, and the leaves were lush and lush. Zi Chen walked into the forest and found a high ground.

The mountains and rivers here were beautiful and the scenery was beautiful. Waterfalls poured down from the mountain streams like heaven and earth chains.

Zi Chen traversed through the forest, looking for a high ground as his breakthrough point.

Suddenly, he heard a voice.

"Find him, find him for me. If there are any suspicious people, capture them immediately. If they resist, kill them on the spot."

Zi Chen hid in the forest and looked for the voice. Through the branches and leaves, he found four figures.

"Could they be people from a big force?" Zi Chen frowned.

These four people were sturdy and their eyes were filled with ferocity. There was a terrifying Yuan Qi flowing in their every movement. They looked very extraordinary.

"Damn it, that damn Zi Chen. I don't know where he is hiding. We can't find him after so long."

One of them cursed. "If I find him, I will definitely crush him."

"They are at least at the Fifth Sky of True Yuan." Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. He could tell that they were looking for him. Obviously, they were from a big force.

"Big Brother, could this Zi Chen be in this forest? We have been looking for him for so long and killed a few people, but none of them were the real deal." Someone asked.

"Hmph, we would rather kill by mistake than let him go. Zi Chen is very cunning. He has always been hiding in the forest. I think it will be the same this time." The big man said coldly.

"We would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let him go. Zi Chen must die. If anything happens, the family will take responsibility."

"We would rather kill by mistake than let him go. You guys sure talk big."

A cold snort was heard. Zi Chen walked out of the forest. "Which family are you guys from? How dare you be so arrogant."
