Chapter 59

A rebounding force appeared and Zhao Cong's body was once again thrown into the air. This time he flew a hundred meters into the air.

At the same time, the water monster's body also fell down.

"Boom!"

But then, the water monster that had just disappeared into the lake appeared again, attacking Zhao Cong who was falling down. After a loud explosion, a line of blood appeared in the sky, and Zhao Cong's body was once again sent flying into the air.

But this time, Zhao Cong didn't fly straight up. Instead, he flew diagonally. After flying a hundred meters, he fell into a whirlpool that had just appeared.

The whirlpool surged and splashed water several meters high. Occasionally, loud sounds could be heard. It seemed that Zhao Cong was fighting with the water monster.

After a while, the waves gradually became smaller. In the end, the clear water surface was covered with a large amount of blood. The churning lake slowly calmed down.

"Sigh!"

A sigh came from the Black Tortoise Sect's side. Clearly, Zhao Cong was doomed. A tenth stage True Qi cultivator had fallen just like that.

Everyone withdrew their gazes and sank into contemplation. They didn't speak for a long time.

A thousand-year-old elixir was right in front of them, but they couldn't obtain it. Everyone was at their wits' end and sighed.

"What do you think?" After a while, Zi Chen raised his head and asked.

"It should be a water monster. Its strength should be at the tenth stage of true qi. In other words, it should be a tenth level vicious beast."

"Look at those scales. It should be a tentacle or an octopus."

"Very likely."

Everyone made their own guesses and expressed their own opinions.

Zi Chen and the other two didn't speak.

"What about you? What do you think?" Su Mengyao looked at Zi Chen.

The others also looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I have a different feeling from you. That Zhao Cong is very strong. He can definitely kill an ordinary tenth stage vicious beast. But did you notice that when he fought with the water monster for the second time, he vomited blood and was seriously injured? Clearly the water monster is very strong. I think it should be at the Xiantian realm."

"What? Xiantian realm? How is that possible? The limit of this place is the peak of the tenth stage?" Everyone was shocked.

"That's an outsider. Who can say that there can't be Xiantian cultivators here?" Zi Chen said.

Actually, there was one thing that he didn't say, which was that if he had enough spiritual herbs, he would be able to break through to the Xiantian realm.

"This …" Everyone was stunned and fell into silence. Obviously, they were thinking about Zi Chen's words.

"Besides, I'm guessing that the water monster wasn't an octopus at all. It was covered in scales and looked more like a snake's tail. Of course, it's just a guess. I can't be sure," Zi Chen said again.

"The tail of a snake. If that's really the case, how long would the snake be? A few hundred meters? Is there such a long snake?

I insist on being an octopus. "

"Not bad, the possibility of it being an octopus is very high."

Everyone was bewildered.

After a round of discussion, they did not obtain anything substantial. They could only continue to waste time here.

Miao Kong didn't say a word. He had sunk into contemplation, and hadn't participated in the discussion.

Zhang Haotian was cold by nature, and discussing problems was not in his character.

"Why aren't you saying anything? What do you think?" Zi Chen looked at Miao Kong.

Miao Kong didn't speak much, but his observation was extremely sharp. His mind was always clear at all times.

Miao Kong's gaze turned towards the Zhan Martial Ancestor. There were dozens of disciples gathered there. In terms of strength, the Nimbus Martial Ancestor's side was the weakest. But in terms of numbers, the Zhan Martial Ancestor's side was the fewest.

"I'm thinking, why did everyone know about the thousand-year-old spiritual herb, but why didn't Ling Chen know about it and didn't come?"

"Xie Qiu also didn't come." Miao Kong said, "None of this is surprising. But even Ling Fei didn't come."

Miao Kong had never seen Ling Fei, but he had heard Zi Chen mention this arrogant youth. As long as he appeared, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

"That's right!" Miao Kong's words directly woke everyone up, as if they were enlightened.

Zi Chen's eyes lit up. "Could it be that you're saying this is a conspiracy?"

"I can't guarantee it, but I keep feeling that something is wrong. That's right, Senior Sister, who gave you the information? Is it also a disciple of the Zhan Martial Ancestor?"

"Yes, it's a disciple of the Zhan Martial Ancestor." Lin Xue rushed to say.

"It's the same for us. Moreover, the other side's first sentence was about the thousand-year-old spiritual herb. I suspect that this is a conspiracy of the Zhan Martial Ancestor." Miao Kong said.

"But if the spiritual herb is really here, where did the conspiracy come from? Could it be that they want to reap the benefits of the Zhan Martial Ancestor's side?"

Everyone couldn't understand it.

"Ling Chen was busy with a big matter before. After seriously injuring me, he left in a hurry. This time, he didn't appear again. Could it be that the matter has surpassed the temptation of the thousand-year-old spiritual herb?" Zhang Haotian rarely spoke.

"Even so, Ling Fei should have appeared." Zi Chen said, "This should be a conspiracy."

"But what is their purpose of using a thousand-year-old spiritual herb as a conspiracy?

Let the water monsters kill us, and we'll be fine as long as we don't enter the water. Or are they waiting for us to finish fighting the water monsters and then suddenly appear? "

Everyone was puzzled.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded. Everyone turned their heads and saw three youths walking towards them.

"It's the Xuan Martial Ancestor's people, Muyi and Liang Guang. They are the strongest of the Xuan Martial Ancestor's side." Someone whispered.

Zi Chen and the others looked at the three uninvited guests with vigilance.

Zhao Cong had just died, so Muyi and the others were in a bad mood. Their faces were gloomy. Seeing the vigilant eyes of Zi Chen and the others, they cupped their fists in greeting.

"Fellow juniors, I am the Xuan Martial Ancestor, Muyi. We don't have any evil intentions. We just want to discuss the matter of the water monsters with you." Muyi said in a gentle voice. Zi Chen and the others relaxed their vigilance.

"This is Liang Guang, and this is our junior brother Lu Peng." Muyi stepped forward and introduced them one by one.

"I am Zi Chen."

"Zhang Haotian!"

"Miao Kong greets senior brother."

"Su Mengyao!"

"Lin Xue."

Several people introduced themselves, and the tense atmosphere eased.

"Junior brother Zi Chen, I've heard a lot about you!

Recently, your and Zhang Haotian's reputation has far surpassed ours. "Muyi said respectfully.

"Senior brother is overpraising me. Rumors can't be trusted." Zi Chen said with a smile.

"No, we didn't hear rumors. We saw the truth."

Muyi said, "On that day, we followed Xu Yan and went to the valley. We also saw the dead inner court disciples. Junior brother Zi Chen, whether it is wisdom or temperament, it is admirable."

"You and Xu Yan are together?"

Zi Chen's face changed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. As for Zhang Haotian, he was even more direct. His cold eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Senior brother, don't misunderstand. On that day, when Xu Yan came to us, we just wanted to see senior brother's elegant demeanor. Unfortunately, we didn't see senior brother, but we also admired senior brother for burying the enemy's corpse." Lu Peng smiled and explained.

"What about Xu Yan?"

Lu Peng shook his head and said, "I don't know. On that day, after he saw the corpse of the beast, he seemed to have gone crazy. He directly tore up the beast's corpse and ran away."

Zi Chen's expression eased.

"I don't know what senior brother thinks about this water monster?" Lu Peng asked.

"Calling me senior brother is very awkward. You should call me Zi Chen."

Zi Chen said, "I suspect that this water monster is a Xiantian master. It may be a giant snake, but some people say that it is an octopus. The one that dealt with Zhao Cong was just a tentacle."

"You also think that it is a Xiantian master snake?" Lu Peng's eyes lit up.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "It's just a guess. I don't dare to jump to conclusions."

"Then what can you do?"

"At present, there is no way, unless …" After hesitating for a moment, Zi Chen said, "Unless we all enter the water and use our lives to kill the water monster."

This was a stupid way, but it was the only way.

Zhao Cong died in a few moves. Zi Chen didn't think that he was stronger than Zhao Cong, so he couldn't go alone.

Lv Peng nodded and said, "This is indeed a method, but to lose so many people's lives for a Millennium Elixir, it doesn't seem to be worth it. Moreover, not everyone is willing to go in."

Although there were many people here, everyone had their own thoughts and it was impossible to command them. Most of them were just here to join in the fun.

"It seems that this thousand-year-old elixir is not fated to be with us." Lu Peng sighed. The others were also disappointed.

"It's a pity that it is a water monster. If it was on land, there might be some possibility." Zi Chen also sighed.

A thousand-year-old elixir was a good thing, but they couldn't get it.

Zi Chen pondered for a long time and finally said, "We guessed that this might be a conspiracy of Ling Chen, but we really can't figure out why he would do this."

After hesitating for a while, Zi Chen finally told the truth. If this was a conspiracy, then the two sides could form an alliance.

Lu Peng, Muyi, and Liang Guang all frowned. They looked at the Martial Ancestor's side and saw that there were only two Level Ten Zhen Qi experts, and there weren't many disciples.

"If this is a conspiracy, then there must be many schemes. We might as well withdraw from here." Lu Peng suggested.

"Reasonable, let's withdraw first and see if this is a conspiracy." Zi Chen and the others nodded.

"I'll go gather people." Muyi turned and left.

However, at this time, a tyrannical aura suddenly emerged from the mouth of the valley. The terrifying Xiantian level pressure made everyone's face change.

"Not good, this is a Xiantian level monster beast.

How can there be a Xiantian level monster beast here? "

Above Level Ten vicious beasts were Monster beasts.

Under the tyrannical pressure, the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi in the valley became chaotic. A ruthless killing intent filled the entire valley.

"Is this Ling Chen's backup plan? He wants to kill us all."

In front of them was a Xiantian level monster beast, and behind them was the lake. It was more dangerous, and they had no way to retreat. Some people guessed the Martial Ancestor's conspiracy.

"So sinister, he didn't hesitate to kill his own sect's people."

At this moment, everyone was certain that this was the Battle Sect's scheme. Just at this moment, a thick smell of blood appeared from the entrance of the valley. Immediately after, a figure flew towards the valley. With a single step, it covered over a hundred meters.

The figure had disheveled hair, cold eyes, and a tyrannical aura around him. The Xiantian level pressure was coming from him.

"It's not a monster beast, it's a human. Someone actually broke through to the Xiantian level."

Seeing that it was a human, some of the cultivators secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However, when Zi Chen saw the figure, his eyes were filled with shock.
