Chapter 155: Suppressing Qingluan, Sword Intent Stele

After a wave of harvests, Chen An’s several inheritances and magical powers have made considerable progress.

Especially the three kinds of magical powers related to the Illusionary Heart Fruit. After years of contribution by Chen Guangzhi, even now that he is studying the way of talismans, he has not left the scope of the Illusionary Heart Fruit. Chen An has naturally reaped a lot.

After returning to the cave excitedly, Chen An counted with his fingers and found that Qinglong Zhenjun and his companions had been gone for many years and there had been no news of them.

The other party had not returned for a long time, and Chen An couldn't help but suspect that these people might have encountered something terrifying and were in trouble.

Just as he was thinking for a moment, Chen Qing came to visit him.

Ever since the exchange of goods with Qinglong City, Chen Qing bought a shop in Qinglong City. After running it for many years, and occasionally releasing some Foundation Establishment Pills or Crystal Condensation Pills refined by Chen Shuang, the profit is considerable.

However, these are not worth mentioning. What really concerns Chen An is that Chen Qing sends him one or two fourth-level spiritual materials from time to time to add bricks and tiles to the future ultra-long-distance teleportation array.

"I have made good profits in Qinglong City over the years. A few days ago, I came across a top-grade spirit stone, and I used some crystal-condensing pills as bargaining chips to take it down."

Chen Qing remained calm and handed over a storage bag.

"Top-grade spiritual stone?"

Chen An raised his eyebrows, took it and took a look. In a flash, a milky white spirit stone with a rich spiritual energy on the surface suddenly appeared in his palm.

Feeling the rich spiritual energy that had turned into mist, Chen An felt all the pores on his body dilate. He had an indescribable sense of comfort, which almost made him use his internal energy to absorb it on the spot.

However, the ultra-long-distance teleportation array can only be activated with top-grade spirit stones, and it is of great use, so Chen An would not absorb it rashly.

"There is one more thing. The prices in Qinglong City have skyrocketed recently, and people are restless. I am afraid something bad is going to happen."

Chen Qing reminded worriedly that Qinglong City was much larger than Heifeng City and the profits it brought were considerable. He was very reluctant to see this scene.

"Next, if there is nothing important, try not to go to Qinglong City."

Although it was unlikely that the six regions of the Far East would be involved, Chen An still gave the order just in case.

Somewhere in an underground space near the boundary between good and evil in Dongzhou.

In the pitch-black underground space, with the light emitted by the light curtain of the formation covering it, the ruins of a dilapidated sect vaguely emerged below.

As spiritual light flickered, four figures appeared in the formation, with exhausted faces, attacking the formation from the inside in wave after wave.

I don’t know how long it took, but perhaps this formation that had existed for so many years could no longer hold on, and with a "hiss", the power of the formation suddenly disappeared.

"Finally saved!"

True Lord Qinglong's eyes were red and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Back then, with the help of Chen An's ban-breaking talisman, it took the group less than two years to break through the remaining formations within the ruins.

But when they looted all the treasures inside and were feeling proud of themselves, they touched something and actually activated the backup formation of the place.

Having used up all the forbidden talismans on them, the four of them could only rely on Li Ruoxue's understanding of the formation and their own cultivation to force their way through.

The power of the fifth-level formation has declined over the years, but it is not something that can be easily broken by just three mid-Nascent Soul cultivators and one Jindan cultivator. With their combined efforts, it took them about twenty years to get out of the formation.

"Thanks to the extraordinary sword power of Master Juejian and Ruoxue's attainments in formation, otherwise, we would probably have to be trapped here for another ten or twenty years."

Fairy Haoyue looked pale. She stretched out her hand to pat the turbulent waves in front of her, and said with a calm mind.

"Fairy, you are too kind. If it weren't for your Moon Soul Pearl, we wouldn't be able to do it so easily."

"Let's stop talking nonsense and leave this place first."

True Lord Qinglong gave a reminder, and without caring about being excited, he immediately took the exhausted people and hurriedly rushed outside.

Several people were exhausted, but they were still able to continue on their journey.

They left the ruins at a not-too-fast speed while recovering their magic power. By the time they were almost at Qinglong City, they had almost recovered.

"Fellow Daoist Qinglong, when did you start raising birds?"

Daoist Master Jue Jian wondered and looked over, only to see a gigantic bird hovering in the sky above Qinglong City.

"Oh my! This is not a bird, it's clearly a blue phoenix!"

True Lord Qinglong had just recovered most of his health, and his face turned pale when he saw this scene.

The blue phoenix circled and swooped down. Every time its sharp claws touched the city-protecting formation, the light curtain dimmed a little.

"Fellow Daoist Qinglong, please don't be impulsive. This monster is in the late Nascent Soul stage, and you and I cannot resist it."

Fairy Haoyue reminded hurriedly.

"Of course I know." True Lord Qinglong sighed and said helplessly.

After a few words, Qingluan seemed to realize something. After attacking the formation again, he looked back and saw a few people, then turned around and rushed over.

"No, retreat quickly!"

Several people were horrified and fled away in a hurry.

But Qingluan only flapped its wings a few times, turned into a green light, and caught up behind him in a few breaths.

Perhaps it was because Li Ruoxue was at the Jindan stage that Qingluan did not take her seriously, and she actually surpassed her and chased after the other three Yuanying stage cultivators.

Li Ruoxue realized that running around aimlessly would lead to death, so it would be better to do the opposite. She took the opportunity to run back into the city, and with the protection of the formation, she might still have a chance of survival.

Having made up her mind, she took advantage of the time when Qingluan was chasing the others and flew towards Qinglong City.

Kuxiu Mountain, North Mountain.

Chen An held in his hand a dull jade token that controlled the teleportation array.

Long before he had instructed Chen Qing to withdraw his people from Qinglong City, he had closed the teleportation array on the pretext of maintenance, and would notify them later when it would be reopened.

Regular maintenance and inspection of the teleportation array is a common occurrence, and this did not arouse any suspicion from others.

"I don't know what the situation is in Qinglong City." Chen An murmured.

In this situation, it would be difficult for him to send anyone to investigate.

While deep in thought, he suddenly noticed that the jade token controlling the teleportation array was slightly lit up, transmitting some kind of signal.

"Someone is forcibly teleporting? This aura is Li Ruoxue? It turns out they are still alive and not in trouble."

Chen An pondered for a moment, then left Beishan and came to the Black Wind City teleportation array.

The closer it was, the more real the feeling was. From the other end of the teleportation array, it was Li Ruoxue's breath that was transmitted over, but Chen An forcibly blocked the teleportation array, so the other party could not be successfully teleported.

"She's the only one?"

Chen An frowned slightly, controlled the jade token, released a ray of spiritual light into the teleportation array, and released the teleportation.

The next moment, a slim figure appeared on the teleportation array.

"There is a blue phoenix attacking Qinglong City and is about to break through the formation!"

When Li Ruoxue saw Chen An, she ran over anxiously, her body curved and undulating up and down like huge waves surging in the water.

"Qingluan? They really started fighting!"

Chen An looked slightly startled, but he didn't feel too surprised. It was only a matter of time.

"Is there anything you can do to save them?"

Li Ruoxue was also desperate and asked.

"What is Qingluan's strength?"

"Late Nascent Soul stage, probably eight or nine levels of cultivation."

"I can't save him!" Chen An refused sternly.

Li Ruoxue pursed her red lips, her eyes were full of water waves, her brother Qinglong Zhenjun's life and death was uncertain, she was extremely anxious at this moment. She suddenly remembered something, her eyes rolled slightly, and she said tentatively: "It's a pity, the Seven Star Void Stone is still in my brother's possession, it seems that I will never be able to become a fifth-level formation master in the future."

"Seven-Star Void Stone? How many are there?" Chen An couldn't help but ask when he heard it.

"About a hundred pounds."

"Forget it, please step back for now."

Chen An waved his hand to send Li Ruoxue away, and ordered Chen Qing to disperse the monks around the teleportation array.

After doing all this, he released the formation.

It was impossible for him to go there in person. If the Blue Luan bird dared to come, he would take action. If it didn't come, there was nothing he could do. Who knew how many Blue Luan birds were lurking on the other side.

If there were only one or two of them, it would be fine and he could deal with them, but if there were a large group of them, even if his strength far exceeded that of his peers, he would not be able to withstand it.

After waiting for about an hour, some low-level cultivators from Qinglong City came to escape, but there were no fourth-level flying birds.

I just grabbed someone and asked him a question.

They said that they had not seen any trace of the Blue Luan Bird, and that it had disappeared after the formation was broken. They asked more than a dozen people and all of them said the same thing.

"Is it possible?"

Chen An secretly thought that this was not good, and immediately used the Soul Refining Technique, completely releasing his spiritual awareness and checking every person who entered and left the formation.

The cultivators coming in and out included men, women, young and old, from the Qi training stage to the Dan formation stage, a mixed crowd. Everyone was in a panic, scrambling to get in as if they were fleeing.

Suddenly, a calm and beautiful woman caught Chen An's attention.

Facing the attack of a fourth-level demon cultivator, she was able to remain calm. She is definitely not an ordinary woman.

Chen An smiled lightly, rolled his eyes, and used the Wind Shadow Illusion Technique, leaving behind an illusion that was exactly the same as him, while his real body quietly approached.

The other party seemed to be still quietly observing the market and did not notice anything unusual.

Chen An took the opportunity to swing out the crocodile tail steel whip and whip it in mid-air towards the slender waist of the cold and beautiful woman.

Just when he was about to succeed, the cold and beautiful woman was surrounded by feathers, which protected her in front and blocked her soft body behind.

"boom!"

With the help of powerful magic power, the hemispherical feathers, like a kite with a broken string, were whipped by the crocodile tail steel whip and flew up into the air, straight out of the market.

It was not until he was several miles away that he finally stopped.

The cold and beautiful woman's face turned slightly pale. She looked at Chen An who was following closely with disbelief, and her expression showed a bit of surprise.

"In just the six regions of the Far East, there are actually cultivators like you."

She took a deep breath, regained her composure, and said coldly: "The Demon God is determined to take over the six regions of the Far East. I advise you not to put up any unnecessary resistance and surrender quickly."

It seems that the other party had planned this in advance, and it is not enough to just take over Qinglong City.

The six regions of the Far East are blocked by the Black Wind Mountains, which allow for both offense and defense. For Dongzhou, it is a good place to serve as a springboard.

"Then ask the demon god to come and tell me in person."

Chen An smiled coldly, and his figure seemed illusory and disintegrated in an instant.

"Not good!" The cold and beautiful woman was shocked and realized that Chen An was using the same old trick again.

But she was still a beat too slow. Behind her, a cold sword finger, carrying a chilling murderous intent, passed by quickly.

"Bah!"

The sword finger penetrated into her body, without leaving any wound, but it made her face as pale as paper and her frail body shaky.

Chen An smiled lightly. The God-killing Sword Finger was not only extremely powerful, but also a means of directly attacking the soul. If he had not shown mercy just now, the opponent would have died on the spot.

This girl is at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul, so her status must be quite high. Chen An didn't want to fight to the death with the Qingluan clan, so he spared her life for the time being.

He waved his hand and a pagoda made of white jade appeared, which circled above the cold and beautiful woman's head, emitting a brilliant light and was about to suck her body in.

At this moment, the opponent suddenly changed back into his original form of Qingluan, spread his wings and flew up, about to escape.

Chen An's expression froze. He raised his hand and struck again. After the beast's breath weakened, he finally put it into the pagoda.

"As expected of the Qingluan clan, their strength is indeed impressive, but it's a pity that they met me."

After putting away the exquisite pagoda, Chen An breathed a sigh of relief and immediately returned to the city.

At this time, Chen Qing, who was always paying attention to the movements in the city, ran over in a hurry and whispered a few words.

Chen An glanced at the teleportation array and winked at him.

Chen Qing understood what he meant, and took Chen Kebao and Chen Long with him, stepped onto the teleportation array, and headed for Qinglong City.

After waiting for less than half an hour, Chen Qing and the other two returned carrying three storage bags.

After receiving them, Chen An checked them one by one.

First of all, there is the Seven-Star Void Stone, which is what Chen An needs most. It weighs a full hundred kilograms, so it is worth it this time.

However, in one of the antique storage bags, Chen An found a token with the word "Taixu" inscribed on it.

"Taixu Gate"

Chen An looked thoughtful, glanced at it for a few seconds, and then ignored it.

The others are the spiritual treasures and spiritual materials of Azure Dragon True Lord respectively. Unfortunately, they are far inferior to the spiritual treasures in Chen An's hands, and there are not many of them that can be used.

"Ok?"

Among them, there was a stone tablet engraved with a sword, exuding an ancient and rustic atmosphere, which caught Chen An's attention.

The moment the stone tablet was taken out, a sharp and murderous intent rushed into Chen An's sea of ​​consciousness, causing his soul, which was comparable to that of an early stage of transformation, to tremble slightly.

"This is... Sword Intention!"

Chen An was surprised.

Sword energy is merely a way of using magic power, while sword intent is a way of using sword energy in a coordinated and unified way with the soul. The latter is a more advanced sword technique.

It is difficult for ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators to master this method. Only after they have achieved Spirit Transformation and have a deeper understanding of the soul, can those who are talented in this area gain a glimpse of the method.

Chen An immediately remembered the sword-breaking stone tablet that Master Juejian mentioned when three people came to him last time to exchange the forbidden talisman.

If what I guessed was correct, this stone tablet was obtained from the ruins of that ancient sect.

"After countless years, it still has such a powerful sword intent. This stone tablet is extraordinary!"

Chen An immediately put away the stone tablet and threw the storage bag to Chen Qing, asking him to return it to the three people who were beaten unconscious by Qingluan, so as not to take the matter to the extreme.

As for the rest of the things, except for the five top-grade spirit stones, Chen An didn't think much of the others. Even if he took them, they wouldn't contribute much value. It would be better to return them to the three people and let them preserve a certain amount of strength to serve as the pioneers of the six regions of the Far East.

Under Li Ruoxue's surprised gaze, Chen An put the Seven-Star Void Stone and five top-grade spirit stones into his pocket.

"Don't look at it anymore. Go back and see your brother."

Chen An gave a reminder, handed the affairs of Black Wind City to Chen Qing, and turned back to Kuxiu Mountain.

He arrived at the cave, released the stone tablet, and carefully comprehended the sword intent on it.

But after a few months, it seemed that I had gained something, but in fact, I had not gained anything. I was just in a hazy state, as if there was a thin film blocking me.

Just when Chen An was about to give up, his face suddenly realized: "Oh, right, the God-killing Sword Finger involves the soul, if you practice it deeply, could it also give rise to sword intent?"
