Chapter 357
Seeing Zi Chen, Lin Xue was very happy and emotional. She was crying and laughing at the same time, telling him the pain in her heart. Her father was killed, her family was massacred, and Lin Xue had been living in self-blame. She was very bitter in her heart, and only by cultivating in seclusion could she forget this pain.
"This hatred must be avenged." Zi Chen said coldly. He already knew who the murderer was.
Geng, Chu, Cang, Li.
"How is Sister Mengyao?" Lin Xue asked, her eyes filled with longing. After that day, the two had not seen each other.
Zi Chen shook his head. "I haven't seen her yet, but I think she's fine. The Floating Mist Sect is very special, even the Heavenly Kill Alliance was forced to retreat."
Back then, when the Heavenly Kill Alliance was defeated at the Floating Mist Sect, he had also heard about it. The Heavenly Kill Pavilion's plan to use Su Mengyao to threaten Su Long had completely failed, so they had to settle for the next best thing, using Lin Xue to threaten him.
"I've heard about your matter. The current situation is very unfavorable for you. Everyone in the world sees you as an enemy."
"It's okay, it's just a scheme of the big forces. These rogue cultivators were just bewitched. I have a way to deal with them."
After that, the two chatted for a long time, and finally, they talked about the Saint Burial Ground.
"I've obtained Qing Nu's inheritance, and it's very extraordinary. Once I fully comprehend it, my battle strength will be very strong. I don't need anything else for now." Lin Xue said, indicating that she would not go to the Saint Burial Ground.
"The Saint Burial Ground is very dangerous. Even if you have a token, it's still very dangerous. You have to be careful."
The Saint Burial Ground was full of treasures. It was said that even Pill Weapons were equivalent to trash there. Supreme Treasure Pills were everywhere, and once consumed, one would be at the Ancestor level. They would not even need to go through the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, which made everyone crazy.
Moreover, it was a hidden place. Unless something happened, it would never appear. The last time was twenty years ago, and the next time, it might be a thousand years later. No one wanted to miss it.
The voices of condemnation were getting louder and louder. At this moment, even many Higher Heaven Realm experts joined in.
"Didn't you say that many tokens that lead to the Holy Burial Ground have appeared? Why is everyone so fixated on mine?" Zi Chen asked the question in his heart.
"There were quite a few of these things in the past, but there was a limit to the number of times they could be used. They have long been damaged and can no longer be used. So far, you are the only one who has the route map. Furthermore, you must have also noticed that this route map can change at any time. Even copying it is impossible."
Zi Chen nodded.
His original intention was to draw the circuit diagram, but he found that the circuit diagram was constantly changing, so he couldn't draw it accurately.
"Previously, everyone was just guessing. They didn't dare to confirm that you really had the route map. Now that you've spoken in such a high-profile manner, many forces are relieved. Although they won't do anything to you, they will definitely cause you some trouble."
Liu Chen said. Back then, the Liu family had also obtained a token, but it was destroyed after using it once. Moreover, the gains were not great.
Although this region couldn't be said to be completely united, important matters related to the Holy Burial Ground still had to be discussed. No one could monopolize it.
Zi Chen had learned this from his conversation with Liu Chen. In the past, it had always been the major powers that had gone. There had never been a chance for rogue cultivators. Now that Zi Chen had obtained a token, it could be considered an exception. It was also because of this that rogue cultivators believed in the legend of the treasure pill.
That was because the Holy Burial Ground was known as the most mysterious place on the Martial Heaven Continent.
"I've already said that I'll bring everyone with me. I guarantee that we'll share the tokens when the time comes," Zi Chen said as the wandering cultivators' clamor grew louder and louder.
However, his words were quickly drowned out by the clamor of the crowd.
"We don't believe you. You can only hand over the token."
"That's right. We've already found a person of virtue and prestige. Hand the token to him. We only believe in him."
"You've already joined a major power. We won't believe a despicable person like you. Only by handing over the token will we believe you."
Zi Chen's voice was drowned out by the clamor of the crowd.
Following the bewitchment of the major powers, the clamor reached a peak. Even though Zi Chen was in the Liu family, there were still cultivators attacking the Liu family.
Although there was no bloodshed, the clamor of condemnation had reached a peak.
"It's about time." Zi Chen's voice was icy. Killing intent filled his eyes as he walked out of the Liu family.
Outside the Liu family was a huge martial practice field. Today, it was packed with rogue cultivators. They were all condemning Zi Chen.
"Zi Chen has come out!"
"That despicable person has finally come out. He should have been kicked out by the Liu family."
"How could such a despicable person be worthy of the Liu family?"
Everyone cried out in surprise. Then, a wave of voices rang out.
"Despicable person, hand over the token. Otherwise, Yongqi City will have no place for you. We won't let you off!" A ninth Heavenstage True Energy cultivator stood up, condemning Zi Chen.
"Swoosh."
Zi Chen's eyes were cold. He pointed with one hand, and a cold light appeared. With a dense killing intent, he pointed at the center of the opponent's eyebrows.
"Puff."
With a soft sound, blood appeared between the cultivator's eyebrows. His eyes dimmed as he fell to the ground, dead.
There was a lot of noise and the scene was very chaotic. However, after the cultivator fell to the ground dead, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Zi Chen acted decisively and killed a cultivator.
All around, there was a deathly silence. The clamoring voices had disappeared.
Previously, although Zi Chen also acted, he was careful and did not kill. Everyone was greedy and ignored Zi Chen's strength, thinking that he would not dare to kill.
At this moment, in front of the bloody corpse, the surroundings were quiet.
"Zi Chen, what do you mean? Do you think you can kill everyone just because you're strong?"
A ninth Heavenstage True Energy cultivator walked out. A powerful aura surged around him as he condemned, "Don't forget that when you were chased by the big forces, we were the ones who always supported you."
"What did you support me for?" Zi Chen sneered. "Did you support the reward for catching me?"
Taking a step forward, Zi Chen pointed again, and a golden light flashed.
"Pop."
Like a blooming blood flower, a bloody hole appeared between the cultivator's eyebrows. His eyes were full of shock.
Another person died.
"Zi Chen, what do you mean by this? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're strong?" Another person stood up.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten the days when you were chased like a dog by the major powers. Now, you think you're invincible after joining the major powers? Don't forget, if they can kill you once, they can kill you a second time. We're the only ones who support you."
"As long as you hand over the token, we will always support you."
The two people appeared one after another. They were both ninth Heavenstage experts.
"Pop." "Pop."
Zi Chen didn't say anything. A cold smile hung at the corner of his mouth. He pointed twice, and the two fell to the ground dead.
The crowd was in an uproar. Zi Chen was determined to kill. His actions were decisive and ruthless, and he didn't explain anything at all.
"Is there anyone else?"
After killing four people in a row, Zi Chen shocked everyone. His eyes flashed coldly as he looked around.
Everyone was shocked. This was the rhythm of killing.
Back then, Zi Chen killed hundreds of experts from the big forces without blinking an eye. The number of cultivators who died at his hands was more than a thousand. He could be said to be a real demon king. At this moment, the demon king was crazy, and there was only killing intent in his eyes.
"Zi Chen, you've really sided with a great power, and now you're attacking us? Have you forgotten how we supported you? Don't tell me that you're going to turn against us over a mere token?" A voice rang out in the darkness. It was illusory, flickering left and right, and it was hard to tell what it was.
"Pop."
Zi Chen leaped up, and a cold light flashed in his hand. A sharp blade slashed forward, and in a flash, another person fell into a pool of blood.
Zi Chen landed and looked around. "I want to ask everyone, when I, Zi Chen, was being hunted, how did you help me? How did you support me?"
Around them, no one spoke. Many people lowered their heads. When Zi Chen was being hunted down, most of them were just there to watch the show. They had heard the sensational news, but if they wanted to support or help him, it would be pure rumors.
"We hoped that you wouldn't die. The strong power of will allowed you to create miracles time and time again. That's why we helped you. Now that you've joined the big forces, you're turning your back on us. Are you still human?" The voice in the dark said again, still illusory.
"Pop."
Zi Chen attacked again, and another attack landed. Among the crowd, a person fell to the ground, blood gushing out from between his eyebrows.
"If you have the ability, come out and speak. Don't hide in the dark. That's the behavior of a scoundrel."
Zi Chen coldly said, "Power of will, what is this power of will? It's such an illusory thing. Are you cursing me to die or are you trying to let me live? Only you know."
"I believe that there are some among you who don't want me to die, but it's definitely not you." Zi Chen's voice was cold, filled with boundless killing intent.
These people were indeed shameless. They even dared to talk about the illusory power of will. If hope could come true, then Zi Chen would have been cursed to death after so many years.
The Land of Dead Silence appeared because of him. Vengeful spirits appeared, but Zi Chen was still alive.
"Hmph, you're really an ingrate, heartless and unscrupulous. To think that we were praying that you wouldn't die."
"Pop."
Zi Chen attacked again, his voice cold. "You were praying for me to die, right?"
"We didn't want you to die before, but seeing that you colluded with the big forces for a mere token, we cursed you to die."
"Pop."
The golden light fell, and a flower of blood bloomed. Zi Chen coldly laughed, "A mere token, don't make you sound so noble. I've already said that I'll bring you there. Why are you so aggressive?"
"Who doesn't know how to speak empty words? Why should we believe you? We only believe in the respected seniors. You'd better hand over the token."
"Pop."
The sharp blade fell, and another person died. Zi Chen acted decisively, shocking everyone.
"If you don't believe me, why should I believe you? This is originally mine. Why should I hand it over? If you don't believe me, just leave." Zi Chen spoke.
Everyone was incomparably shocked.
Zi Chen answered everyone's questions, but only after killing one person. Every time he answered, the person who asked before would inevitably die. Such methods made people tremble.
"You think that you're strong enough to not put us rogue cultivators in your eyes? Have you forgotten that you were once a weak rogue cultivator?"
"Pop."
Another golden light fell, and Zi Chen killed another person before answering, "I'll say it again. I'll bring you to the Saint Burial Ground, and we'll share the token."
"Why should we believe you?"
"Pop."
Another person died, and everyone's heart trembled. Zi Chen spoke, "Don't let these men of sacrifice die. Whoever wants to snatch my token, come out yourself."
Zi Chen was very strong, and said proudly, "Let me tell you, if you want me to hand over the token, you're dreaming. Now, if you're not convinced, you can come up. If you're strong enough, I can give it to you. But if you're not strong enough, you'd better leave early."
"Hmph, what an arrogant junior."
