Chapter 247 Killing Cao Zhenghong and arrangements for Suiyun Sword Sect
I saw with my own eyes that Patriarch Guo, the Yuan Ying sword cultivator, ended up like this.
Even Nascent Soul can't escape!
At this moment, the expression of Cao Zhenghong, who was several miles away, changed drastically. Without any hesitation, his body flashed vaguely and he flew away towards the south.
Wang Yun has already given him a lot of threats, and with the monster Chen Ling, how can he dare to continue fighting.
"A fourth-level weapon refiner, a fourth-level alchemy master, a fourth-level puppet master, and a high-level divine soul technique."
"This boy has definitely obtained the inheritance of a certain major sect!"
While Cao Zhenghong ran away quickly, the scene of Patriarch Guo being killed just flashed through his mind.
There seems to be a certain secret passage in my heart.
A fourth-level inheritance is definitely a rare treasure in the Western Wilderness.
Except for the Yuanying Sect, other sects and families couldn’t produce it at all.
And being able to have Chen Ling's situation at the same time can only mean that he has obtained the inheritance of the ancient sect.
Even the Lan Yue Sect does not have such a comprehensive fourth-level inheritance.
For example, the Lan Yue Sect does not have the inheritance of puppet techniques above the Xuan level.
As far as he knew, there was indeed a powerful Shenhua Sect in the Xihuang cultivation world thousands of years ago.
Huoyuan Pavilion!
During the heyday of Huoyuan Pavilion, there were four god-transformation monks.
And it is said that one of them has even touched the realm of refining the void.
At that time, the strength of Huoyuan Pavilion was no longer inferior to the top sects in the Middle-earth China.
But later, for unknown reasons, Huoyuan Pavilion gradually declined.
More than three thousand years ago, with the rise of Lan Yue Sect and Shenwei Alliance, Huoyuan Pavilion was completely destroyed.
And this small Chen family actually has so many precious fourth-level inheritances.
Needless to say, this is only possible if you have the inheritance of Huoyuan Pavilion!
As his thoughts turned, he became more and more certain!
At this moment, he was too exhausted and knew in his heart that he could not resist the joint efforts of Wang Yun and Chen Ling. He could only escape as soon as possible by retreating as soon as possible.
As long as they return to Lan Yue Sect, the Chen family will naturally cease to exist, and the Cao family can also seize and obtain the inheritance of Huoyuan Pavilion.
In this way, the Cao family can go one step further.
Thinking of this, he vaguely regretted that his action with Patriarch Guo this time was a bit hasty!
"Senior left in a hurry without even saying hello. This is not the way our Chen family treats guests!"
At this moment, a sharp roar suddenly sounded.
Cao Zhenghong was shocked.
Among the monks of the Chen family, except for Wei Wenwu, the others were only at the Golden Core level.
No matter whether it is magic power or skill cultivation, it is far from being comparable to it.
After the previous battle, Wei Wenwu had consumed more energy than him and was unable to catch up.
This means that with his speed advantage, he can easily escape from this place.
But now he has been caught up.
He turned his head hurriedly and saw a demonic beast emitting fiery red light, flapping its fire wings and galloping towards him menacingly.
In the air, Chen Lingzheng stood on the back of Golden Fire Crow with his clothes fluttering, staring at him indifferently, with a faint murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
He knew clearly in his heart that the person in front of him was Cao Zhenghong.
If he is allowed to escape, it will undoubtedly be a potentially huge danger to the Chen family in the future.
"Third-level monster!"
"Third-level beast master?"
Cao Zhenghong had a look of panic on his face. The two fourth-order puppets had also consumed a lot of energy just now, and they didn't have much energy to fight again.
But now, another late third-order spiritual beast has appeared.
How could a golden elixir monk do this?
"Master Chen, I have no grudges against the Chen family. I was only involved in this matter after being bewitched by fellow Daoist Guo."
"Now that I have decided to quit, I would like to ask the head of the Chen family to show your support!"
Cao Zhenghong clasped his fist towards Chen Ling and said softly.
Normally, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would never be able to speak to a Golden Core cultivator in such a low profile.
"Senior, do you think my Chen family is so easy to bully? Come whenever you want and leave whenever you want!"
How could Chen Ling not know what Cao Zhenghong was thinking? If he was allowed to leave, the Chen family would be in catastrophe.
Hey!
The Golden Fire Crow felt the murderous aura on Chen Ling's body, and with a sharp roar, a golden flame spurted out from his mouth, and condensed into a giant golden fire sword on the way, slashing down towards Cao Zhenghong like a broken bamboo.
"Little tricks!"
Cao Zhenghong's expression changed and he drank loudly.
Then, I saw him using both hands to move the magic weapon.
The spiritual light on his body suddenly surged, and then condensed into several huge flame chains.
Winding towards the golden giant sword.
The chains were entangled in the air, as if intertwined into an iron net, overwhelming the sky and the earth, sweeping down towards the Golden Gang Sword.
Bangs and bangs sounded one after another.
The Golden Gang flame sword instantly bombarded the flame net formed by the flame chains.
A huge burst of fire broke out.
As the flames spurted out from Golden Fire Crow's mouth, the natal spiritual flames surged out.
The aura of the Golden Gang Flame Sword surged.
"Bang bang" a crisp crackling sound sounded!
The Golden Gang Flame Sword slashed fiercely, and the flame chains immediately broke inch by inch, turning into dots of flames and dissipating.
Cao Zhenghong let out a low groan, and his face turned pale again.
At this moment, the mana in the body is less than 30%.
"This fellow Taoist, you'd better just surrender and capture him!"
Chen Ling looked indifferent and said indifferently.
Now this place is more than thirty miles away from Jade Butterfly City. Even if Cao Zhenghong self-destructs his Nascent Soul, he can still block it with Jade Butterfly City's defensive array.
And just now, he also noticed that Cao Zhenghong had already used the magic domain once, and now he was absolutely unable to use it again.
Although he could not use the golden lotus form again, he still had the magical power of the sea and fire lotus.
But you have to make sure you can kill it in one go.
Otherwise, if there are other means of saving his life.
Once the Dao Sea Fire Lotus is blocked, it will be a big trouble.
In addition, the three-color jade butterflies are already lurking around, preventing Cao Zhenghong from escaping.
"Master Chen, I won't hide it from you. I am Cao Zhenghong, a monk from the Cao family of Lanyue Sect. I hope you will show your respect!"
"If I die here, the Cao family will never let go of the Chen family!"
Seeing that the Golden Fire Crow's speed and attack power were superior to his, Cao Zhenghong also knew that there was little chance of escaping at this moment.
I can only hold on to luck and hope that the Lan Yue Sect can shock Chen Ling.
"How could the seniors of Lan Yue Sect hide their heads and tail like you?"
Chen Ling chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
In this situation, what else does he care about the Lan Yue Sect and the Lan Ri Sect.
If you dare to kill the Chen family, how can he show mercy!
After saying that, the flames surged in his hands, and a blue flame appeared in front of him, exuding astonishing pressure.
It is the fourth level of Cold Spirit Crystal Flame.
At the same time, the flames from the Golden Fire Crow's mouth spurted out again, and a golden flame sword energy overwhelmed the sky and the earth, and rushed towards Cao Zhenghong.
"I will fight with you!"
Cao Zhenghong gritted his teeth, knowing that it would be difficult to be kind today.
With a thought, strong winds gusted in front of him, and a huge black shadow appeared.
A jade skeleton exuding astonishing spiritual pressure appeared in front of him.
"Sure enough, there is a backup plan!"
Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. With his superb knowledge of weapon refining, he could tell at a glance that this was a powerful physical skeleton.
The power is no less than a fourth-level psychic treasure.
"If you want to kill me, Cao Zhenghong, Cao will have to support you!"
Cao Zhenghong's voice became sinister.
As he moved his thoughts, a mouthful of blood spurted onto the skeleton with a pop.
The jade skeleton bloomed with radiance instantly and merged with his body for a moment, exuding jade radiance on the surface of his body.
Coupled with his rather strong body at this moment, his whole body was covered in jade-colored aura, giving him a fierce and mysterious aura.
This is a kind of defensive energy unique to physical cultivation, no less than a fourth-level defensive treasure.
Then, he suddenly raised his hand to strike, and punched hard against the Jin Gang's flame sword energy.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang.
The Golden Gang Flame Sword and the Giant Skeleton Fist bombarded one after another.
In the end, the Golden Gang Flame Sword shattered into pieces, and Golden Fire Crow's body also tumbled and fell back ten feet before he stabilized his figure.
Chen Ling raised his eyebrows as his consciousness swept over Cao Zhenghong.
The skeleton of this concrete cultivation is probably no less than a fourth-level existence.
It was actually able to defeat the sword energy condensed by the Golden Fire Crow's natal flame with one punch.
Fortunately, Cao Zhenghong's consumption was huge at this moment, and the combat power of the skeleton was greatly restricted.
"Dao Hai Fire Lotus! Go!"
At the same time, in Chen Ling's hands, the Cold Spirit Crystal Flame and the Spiritual Flame of the Qianyuan Magic Art have been fused.
A half-foot-sized fireball appeared in front of him, like the scorching sun, releasing a chilling aura.
As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, the fireball instantly bombarded Cao Zhenghong.
For a time, the fireball flames surged and poured out, instantly forming a sea of fire that covered the sky and the sun.
In the sea of fire, there are various strange phenomena such as the rising sun, the majestic rain of swords, the rolling down of three thousand spiritual flames, and so on!
Looking at the magical power of the sea of fire, Cao Zhenghong's face was filled with shock. He opened his mouth and spat out, and dozens of drops of essence and blood melted into the skeleton. Immediately, a jade-colored luster flowed from the surface like a substance, covering several feet around his body.
The next moment, the five fingers of his arm formed a fist and struck heavily into the sea of fire.
Two huge fists like meteorites struck the sea of fire, erupting with a frightening roar.
"Boom!"
The huge fist light was swept by the sea of fire, making a loud bang bang sound, and the light continued to shrink.
Next, I saw the sea of fire burning down the giant fist as unstoppably as the autumn wind swept down the leaves, and then swept down overwhelmingly.
Wrap Cao Zhenghong in it.
The majestic jade aura immediately shattered inch by inch, and then, one jade bone after another detached from Cao Zhenghong's body, eventually turning into wisps of ashes and disintegrating.
Suddenly, screams sounded.
······.
A quarter of an hour later.
Where the two men fought, there was no other item except a shiny storage ring floating in the air.
Even Cao Zhenghong's Nascent Soul was completely burned in the flames.
In the air, Chen Ling, who was standing behind the Golden Fire Crow, looked extremely pale, looking like he was seriously injured.
"The Nascent Soul cultivator is indeed very powerful. He almost exhausted all means to kill him!"
Chen Ling took two Yuan-Zeng Dan in one mouthful and secretly said with a look of luck on his face.
At this moment, the spiritual energy in his body was almost exhausted.
The attack on the Sea Fire Lotus just now almost completely drained his spiritual energy.
The aura in the body is still churning, and the golden elixir is also dim.
Cao Zhenghong's jade bone has strong defense.
If Daohai Fire Lotus hadn't been fused with the Cold Spirit Crystal Flame, it would have been impossible to break it open.
With a flash of consciousness, he put away Cao Zhenghong's storage ring.
After confirming that there were no other remaining auras around, Chen Ling gave the order to Golden Fire Crow to quickly return to Jade Butterfly City.
Although they no longer have the strength to fight, the Golden Fire Crow and the Three-Colored Jade Butterfly are more than enough to deal with ordinary Golden Core cultivators.
It takes less than half a quarter of an hour to cover a distance of more than thirty miles.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, the situation has become clear now. Let me say it again, you only have one choice!"
Hundreds of feet high in the void, Shen Yunhe shouted to an old man in black robes with a solemn expression.
The words are like old friends exhorting each other.
The old man in black robe in front of him is Xu Yuntian, the head of Xu family, another Jindan family of Suiyun Sword Sect.
Xu Yuntian and Shen Yunhe usually have a good relationship.
Now they are both golden elixir level five sword cultivators.
In addition, they are familiar with each other and know that no one is sure of defeating the other.
In the battle just now, they didn't even make a killing blow.
Shen Yunhe even tried his best to persuade Xu Yuntian to surrender!
Looking not far away, Qi Santong and Han Jing, with the cooperation of Lu Xin controlling the fire dragon, had already killed their opponents.
It was suspended in the air, forming a horns towards him to prevent him from escaping.
"Hey! Two Nascent Soul cultivators, one died and the other escaped!"
"The hidden strength of the Chen family is really terrifying!"
He sighed helplessly, knowing that if Shen Yunhe hadn't intentionally delayed.
I'm afraid I won't be able to survive now.
Knowing that the Suiyun Sword Sect was now gone, he nodded towards Shen Yunhe, put away his sword, and said in a deep voice, "I am willing to join the Chen family!"
Shen Yunhe also exhaled slightly, smiled and nodded.
He had grown up and practiced in Suiyun Sword Sect since childhood, and he really didn't want to see Suiyun Sword Sect disappear with the Guo family this time.
On the battlefield on the ground, with the help of Lu Xin's magic circle and Tianhuo Lei, the disciples of the Chen family had already gained an absolute upper hand.
Half of the hundreds of Suiyun Sword Sect disciples had been killed or injured, and the others were retreating steadily.
"Meet the master!"
As the Golden Fire Crow landed, Wei Wenwu, Shen Yunhe, Qi Santong, Han Jing and others all saluted Chen Ling with clasped fists.
The attitude is respectful.
Although they had a lot of respect for Chen Ling in the past, now, they all saw him kill the Nascent Soul sword cultivator Guo Patriarch with their own eyes.
There is still enough energy left to chase down another Nascent Soul cultivator.
The result is unknown, but it has fully demonstrated Chen Ling's strength.
Already far beyond them.
Although they each had mixed emotions, they were both full of admiration for Chen Ling.
Especially Wei Wenwu felt relieved. Fortunately, before the war started, he was determined and decided to stay in the Chen family.
He couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
Chen Ling single-handedly killed the opponent's Yuanying sword cultivator, showing a strength that was no less than that of an early Yuanying cultivator.
Once he enters Nascent Soul, wouldn't he be the first person under the Transformation God?
Not only is he powerful in battle, but he also has enough elixirs in his hand.
Following him is far better than the Lu family!
"Okay! Everyone performed well in this battle!"
Seeing that the Chen family was already winning, Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh happily.
Then I felt a pain in my chest and took a deep breath.
Then he waved his sleeves, and a bottle of elixir fell in front of everyone.
"Everyone take the elixir and recover as soon as possible!"
It was obvious that everyone was spending a lot of money, especially Wang Yun and Han Jing.
Wang Yun used the magical power of the three realms of swordsmanship one after another. The spiritual energy in his body had long been exhausted, and his face was paler than him at the moment.
It made his heart ache just to look at it.
Han Jing was not known for his combat prowess. Although he had killed his opponent just now, his injuries were not minor.
"Thank you, Master!"
Seeing the pill bottle, everyone's faces were filled with joy and they cupped their fists towards Chen Ling to thank him.
They all opened the elixir bottles, drank the elixir directly, and each performed their exercises to absorb the power of the medicine.
"Head of the family, this is Xu Yuntian, the head of the Xu family. He is willing to lead the family to join my Chen family!"
At this time, Shen Yunhe pointed at Xu Yuntian and said to Chen Ling.
"Meet Master Chen!"
Xu Yuntian also bowed his hands towards Chen Ling and saluted.
[Tip: The Xu family of the Jindan family has joined, and the incense value is +800. 】
Scanning the prompt bar, Chen Ling looked happy and smiled at Xu Yuntian, "Master Xu, there is no need to be polite!"
Then he looked solemn and said to Shen Yunhe, "Uncle, you will handle the remaining Suiyun Sword Sect disciples. No one from the Guo family will be left alive. If the others are willing to join my Chen family, we will not kill them!"
"Yes, head of the family!" Shen Yunhe clasped his fists.
Then he and Xu Yuntian flew down towards the battlefield on the ground.
Chen Ling also led others to Jade Butterfly City.
As Shen Yunhe and two others joined in, the fighting quickly stopped, and Chen Ling also showed joy on his face.
This battle can be regarded as a fight to the death!
Now, as long as the Suiyun Sword Sect is captured, the Chen family's territory will expand to tens of thousands of miles in radius.
It’s exciting to think about it.
This time is not a family war, so apart from the Guo family, he will not kill other monks who are willing to join him.
After all, with the presence of the Shen family, it would be much easier to subdue the other monks of the Suiyun Sword Sect.
Moreover, in the future, such a vast area will require enough monks to manage and operate it.
"Master, this is the preliminary statistics I just made."
"My Chen family suffered thirty-one casualties in this battle, including two foundation-building monks."
"The Suiyun Sword Sect suffered 190 casualties, including 15 foundation-building monks!"
"More than one hundred and seventy other monks have joined our Chen family, including one Jindan sword cultivator and eighteen Foundation-building sword cultivators."
"As for the spoils, they are still being counted!"
After a while, Shen Zhen hurriedly came to the city wall to report to Chen Ling.
Chen Ling nodded slightly. In this battle, if it were not for the help of the magic circle, he would have faced the powerful combat power of Suiyun Sword Sect.
The Chen family definitely suffered more than this casualty.
"The contribution value of all clan members who died in the battle will be doubled!"
Chen Ling said in a deep voice.
Then let Shen Yunhe assist Shen Zhen in handling the next affairs.
He and Wang Yun's daughters returned to the Chen family compound first.
In this battle, whether it was spiritual consciousness or mana, he had consumed a huge amount of energy, and he needed to cultivate and recover as soon as possible.
······.
Another half month passed in a hurry.
After half a month of continuous recovery, Chen Ling had recovered most of his soul cultivation and mana.
In the conference hall, important figures of the Chen family, including several Jindan guests and heads of many affiliated families, gathered together, and everyone looked happy.
Defeating the Suiyun Sword Sect undoubtedly marked that the Chen family's overall strength had already entered another level.
It is undoubtedly a huge benefit to them as guests or affiliated families.
The stronger the Chen family is, the safer they will be and the more cultivation resources they will receive.
After this war, everyone's sense of family belonging has improved to varying degrees.
For example, Wei Wenwu has now reached 81%, which means there is basically no chance of defection!
"Master, now all the Suiyun Sword Sect has joined my Chen family!"
"There are a total of 439 monks in the entire sect, including one golden elixir monk and 28 foundation-building monks."
"The sect covers a radius of 7,300 miles and has a population of over 1,1 million."
"There are seven spiritual veins. Among them, the Suiyun Sword Sect's Suiyun Mountain spiritual vein is the fourth-level low-grade golden spiritual vein, and there is also a third-level fire and wood spiritual vein."
"Twenty-three mineral veins are already being mined! The main one is a fourth-level golden sun stone, and two third-level veins are associated with black gold and earth fire stone."
······.
Shen Zhen slowly introduced the situation of Suiyun Sword Sect to Chen Ling.
The tone was full of excitement.
Half a month ago, even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe that the Chen family could defeat the Suiyun Sword Sect.
Now the Suiyun Sword Sect is completely the territory of the Chen family!
Chen Ling nodded with satisfaction. Although this battle was extremely dangerous, the rewards were proportional to the risks.
The inheritance and resources of a Nascent Soul Sect have all fallen into the hands of the Chen family.
Not to mention the spiritual veins and mineral veins, Suiyun Sword Sect's Sutra Pavilion and Sword Tomb alone are an incalculable wealth.
Of course, in addition to harvesting huge resources, Chen Ling also received a reward of more than 3,500 incense points.
It's just that he has been recuperating recently, so he is not in a hurry to add more points.
"Man'er, tell me, what are you going to do next?"
Chen Ling glanced at everyone and said to Xie Man'er solemnly.
Before you know it, the Chen family looks like a giant to outsiders!
Especially in recent years.
Last year, just by acquiring Xinling City, the Chen family gained more than a thousand miles of territory.
And this time, with such a large area suddenly added, it is also a big challenge for the Chen family to manage it efficiently.
Of course, he has no experience in these things, and he doesn't have much interest in managing them.
It's better to be a hands-off shopkeeper and let Man'er and the others worry about it!
You can take charge of refining weapons and elixirs by yourself!
And although it is developing rapidly and its strength is constantly improving, the pressure it faces now is only a lot more.
Especially Du Qingyun, who originally made it difficult for him to sleep and eat, now has another god-transforming family, the Cao family.
Although he was confident that when he killed Cao Zhenghong, there was no breath or trace left behind.
Xu Yuntian and others also don’t know Cao Zhenghong’s identity.
But just in case, after all, the Cao family is a family of gods, how can the method be figured out by myself?
To ensure safety, the only way is to move closer to the Zhao family or Wanbao Tower!
Xie Maner thought for a moment and then said with a serious face, "Given the current situation, moving to Suiyun City would have been a good choice."
"But the important resources of the family such as the weapon refining workshop and earth fire are all in Jade Butterfly City, so they are not suitable for relocation."
"My suggestion is, can Uncle Lu collect Sui Yunfeng's spiritual veins and integrate them into Jade Butterfly City?"
"As for the other situations of Suiyun Sword Sect, there is no need to make too many changes for the time being. Uncle Shen can be left in charge of management."
When Chen Ling heard this, he couldn't help but look at Shen Yunhe, who had been silent until now, and asked, "Uncle Shen, what suggestions do you have?"
"I also agree with Madam's suggestion, but if you want to collect the fourth-level spiritual veins, you still have to prepare enough."
"This spiritual vein not only contains metallic properties, but also has thunder properties. If there is a slight difference, I'm afraid all the previous efforts will be wasted!"
"As for the management of other affairs, although the Guo family originally occupied many departments and resources, I have arranged for manpower to clean them up. As long as other affairs are carried out step by step, there won't be any big problems!"
Shen Yunhe said slowly.
"Okay, let's do it!"
Chen Ling nodded. As the head of the Shen family, Shen Yunhe originally managed many affairs of the Suiyun Sword Sect.
In the past few months, Xinling City has been managed in an orderly manner, and there is no doubt about its ability.
Next, Shen Zhen reported on the subsidies and rewards for the casualties.
Chen Ling also ordered an additional 800,000 low-grade spiritual stones to be drawn from the miscellaneous affairs hall as a subsidy reward for the clan members who died in the war.
······.
