Gongye Hong swung her sword, severing the ropes that bound Wei Chen with precise control, ensuring he was unharmed.
"You already know my name and identity?" Gongye Hong squinted, a hint of murderous intent flickering in her eyes.
Gongye Hong thought to herself that Wei Chen was likely to be taken away. How would Privy Hall deal with him then? They could threaten Wei Jian or try to curry favor with him; either option was possible. With the Temple of Martial Arts exposed, who knew what might happen next? The best course of action was to kill him before anyone from Privy Hall arrived.
The sharp edge of the sword pressed against Wei Chen's neck.
Wei Chen forced a wry smile. "I had my suspicions. Even though I'm useless, I'm not stupid."
But seeing the innocent look on Wei Chen's face made her hesitate to strike.
Just as she hesitated, two elders from Privy Hall had already caught up. They cackled ominously and drew their weapons, blocking Gongye Hong's path.
Gongye Hong realized that now that they were on the ground, she still had no chance. One person held her back while the other could easily snatch Wei Chen away.
Perhaps she feared that fighting in mid-air might accidentally lead to Wei Chen's death? After all, his face and those eyes were quite appealing…
"Gongye Hong, I don't understand. No matter how the situation in Xing'an City unfolds, your Temple of Martial Arts leads the Cloud Spirit Sect; your status is secure. Why stir up trouble?" the Thin Old Man said.
Gongye Hong looked at the Thin Old Man and the Bald Elder, sneering. "The Master of the Hall's intentions are not something you Privy Hall can guess."
"Then I’m sorry. Let's go!" The Thin Old Man called out, preparing to attack alongside the Bald Elder.
Gongye Hong raised her hand, bringing the sword back to Wei Chen's neck. "If you make a move, I'll kill him!"
Wei Chen's heart sank; how could this woman turn so hostile so quickly?
The Thin Old Man and Bald Elder both halted in surprise, their expressions shifting as they aimed their weapons at Gongye Hong but dared not advance any further.
"Gongye Hong, if you have the guts, go ahead and try to kill him!" The Bald Elder gripped his long knife tightly, pointing it at Gongye Hong with a cold smirk.
Gongye Hong looked at Wei Chen with deep meaning in her eyes and said fiercely, "Who are we afraid of in the Temple of Martial Arts? If Wei Chen dies and the investigation leads back to you forcing me to kill him, let's see if the Wei Family will go crazy and overturn your Privy Hall!"
"If you want me to kill, then I will kill for you to see!"
Gongye Hong raised her hand, the sword's edge slashing down fiercely towards Wei Chen.
"Don't!"
Seeing Gongye Hong make her move, the Bald Elder rushed forward, swinging his blade at her. The fierce energy created a strong wind, causing Gongye Hong's hair to flutter wildly before the blade even reached her.
In a flash of Fire Stone, Wei Chen seemed stunned, suddenly buckling at the knees and collapsing to the ground.
Gongye Hong's sword momentum did not stop; the precious sword barely grazed Wei Chen's head as it slashed past. At that moment, as the Bald Elder's Treasure Blade came down, she stepped forward half a pace, lowered her body, and dodged the Bald Elder's blade. However, her sword energy shot out, slicing through the Bald Elder's chest!
If it had been a fair fight, Gongye Hong would have had the upper hand and could have killed the Bald Elder. But that would take time; it was impossible to deliver a fatal blow in one strike.
Her move seemed simple but had already calculated Wei Chen's evasion time and the direction from which the Bald Elder was attacking, making a preemptive judgment. Striking at Wei Chen was a feint; the real intention was to assassinate the Bald Elder.
The Bald Elder's chest exploded, blood spraying out as he died with his eyes wide open.
Gongye Hong did not pause after killing one person; her body moved like an arrow released from a bow, cutting through the air with her dress billowing as she rushed towards the Thin Old Man.
Seeing his companion dead, the Thin Old Man was instantly enraged. He realized he was no match for Gongye Hong and decisively took out a pill, swallowing it. A violent Divine Power surged forth, causing the air around him to resonate with muffled explosions!
"Die for me!"
The Thin Old Man's aura surged violently. He waved his hand to unleash a red flame aura Palm Power that pushed back the advancing Gongye Hong. Immediately after, another Palm Power struck out, blocking Gongye Hong as she attempted to close in again with her sword. After being pushed back twice, enough time had passed for him to refine the effects of the pill.
"Gongye Hong, at your age, being able to cultivate to Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle is indeed a testament to being the best of Temple of Martial Arts! But since you killed our Privy Hall members, I will risk never advancing for ten thousand years just to kill you!"
The Thin Old Man's aura surged dramatically!
Gongye Hong's expression turned extremely grave.
Wei Chen lay on the ground, quietly observing, fully aware of the situation unfolding in the arena.
"Gongye Hong is roughly at the Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle. He could originally suppress the Thin Old Man, after all, that old fellow is merely a Fifth-Level Deity. But that old fellow took a pill, temporarily boosting his potential to the Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle, making him stronger than Gongye Hong by a significant margin. This is going to be tough!"
"Moreover, that old man's Martial Soul leans towards fire, while Gongye Hong's leans towards wood. Divine Power counters each other, and in terms of strength suppression, Gongye Hong is at a disadvantage."
Wei Chen watched intently, his eyes gleaming as he followed Gongye Hong and the Thin Old Man.
Just as he thought, Gongye Hong was under double pressure and soon couldn't hold on any longer.
Boom!
Wei Chen saw the emaciated old man unleash a Divine Power Palm Strike infused with fiery energy, crashing fiercely into Gongye Hong's chest!
Gongye Hong spat out blood, a mist of crimson spraying forth as his body was violently thrown back, losing consciousness.
The slender sword she wielded slipped from her grasp and clattered to the ground right beside Wei Chen...
Wei Chen stealthily reached for the hilt of the sword.
"You refuse to take the path of survival and instead choose death! Kill you first, then this child; no one will know it was us from Privy Hall!"
The Thin Old Man clasped his hands together and then pulled them apart again, gathering another fiery Divine Power Palm Strike.
He slowly descended from the air, standing a yard away from the unconscious Gongye Hong, his Palm Power radiating an increasingly potent and dangerous aura.
"With this strike, I will send you to accompany my friend in death!"
Even if Gongye Hong had fainted and could not hear a thing, the Thin Old Man still needed to vent his pent-up anger. He had sacrificed so much to kill Gongye Hong. He had consumed a pill to elevate himself to the Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle Realm, but once the effects wore off, he would be forced back to his original state and would need countless years to recuperate.
"Old man, how can you bear to harm such a beautiful girl?"
Just as the Thin Old Man was about to unleash his Palm Power, a voice reached his ears.
He turned in shock to see Wei Chen holding Gongye Hong's treasured sword, looking at him with a mocking smile.
The Thin Old Man sneered, "What’s this? The infamous waste of Kyoto has started playing with swords? Are you trying to cut your own hand off?"
"Old fellow, do you have any last words before you die?" Wei Chen's gaze was icy, emanating an aura of coldness.
"You brat, I know all about your background. If your father were here, I might not be his match, but someone like you is useless no matter how many of you there are!"
The Thin Old Man spoke confidently, but deep down he felt a chill. It seemed as if he was not facing a person but rather a sword!
"I never strike from behind; that is my bottom line when facing an enemy! Now, you can die."
Wei Chen narrowed his eyes and slightly raised his hand before suddenly drawing the sword!
Fast! Extremely fast!
The speed of that sword was astonishing—so fast that it left the onlookers bewildered and unable to see clearly!
The elder from the Privy Hall could only see Wei Chen's wrist flicking, and in an instant, it appeared as if hundreds of sword shadows were rushing towards him in the blink of an eye.
The Thin Old Man was struck with terror. The Palm Power he had been gathering for so long, infused with a strong poisonous aura, erupted forth with a thunderous roar!
Boom!
The Palm Power struck Wei Chen in the abdomen, causing him to spit out black blood and fly backward. However, at the very moment the Thin Old Man unleashed his Palm Power, Wei Chen's sword accurately pierced through the Thin Old Man's Heart.
...
Xing'an City.
Wei Jian rushed back to Duke Sui's Residence, where his four talented sons came to greet him.
"What happened?" Wei Jian shouted angrily.
"Father, the fifth brother has been captured. We failed to protect him, please punish us," the eldest son, Wei Yong, said.
The second son, Wei Guang, stepped forward and knelt at Wei Jian's feet, solemnly stating, "Father, I believe it must be the Yuwen Family who are envious of you and have thus captured the fifth brother. We should storm the palace to rescue him!"
A glimmer of appreciation flashed in Wei Jian's eyes as he looked at Wei Guang kneeling before him and nodded, "You are correct."
"Send my orders to seal off Xing'an City! The Black Armored Army will mobilize to the Sea Palace to demand his release!"
Without any hesitation or investigation into the matter, Wei Chen's misfortune was ruthlessly blamed on the Yuwen royal family.
Wei Jian was furious, and chaos erupted in Xing'an City.
Disaster Star Wei Chen brought turmoil wherever he went; this had already been proven in the Soul World, the Demon Realm, and the Nine Immortal Realm.
In fact, Wei Chen chose to gather information in the Southern Ming Divine Domain precisely because of the presence of the Wei Family, which caused great disorder there. Moreover, the Kunlun Mirror—the Kunlun Mirror of Zhuanxu—was located within the Southern Ming Divine Domain.
As long as he could seize the opportunity to obtain the Kunlun Mirror, Wei Chen would leave immediately and not linger a moment longer in the Southern Ming Divine Domain. Meanwhile, Agricultural Sovereign had quietly gone to Jingyun Divine Realm, where his Shennong Ding resided. Agricultural Sovereign had already begun to gain control over Shennong Ding; as long as he got close enough, he would be able to take it for himself.
Of course, he wouldn't take such a risk. Once Wei Chen obtained the Kunlun Mirror, the entire group would gather together to seize the Shennong Ding. With the power of the Kunlun Mirror, they could instantly return to the Ancient World.
All sorts of calculations had already been etched in the minds of Wei Chen, Shaohuang God King, Taihao God King, Sui Huang, Great Merchant God King, Agricultural Sovereign, Zhuanxu, and Donghua. Those strategies were all Wei Chen's ideas.
...
"Wei Chen, wake up! Are you dead? Don't scare me!"
Wei Chen opened his eyes to see Gongye Hong squatting beside him, her face filled with anxiety.
"I'm not dead yet, but it's not far off," Wei Chen struggled to sit up, gritting his teeth in immense pain.
Could it not hurt? He felt a raging fire burning wildly in his abdomen, spreading throughout his body, causing every inch of his flesh to endure tremendous agony.
"This Gongye Hong is really a rookie. I should be her enemy right now, yet she seems so concerned about me."
"In order to hide my true strength, I can only pretend to be injured. Besides, I'm in a useless body; my actual power isn't that strong."
"Then I'll just keep hiding my strength; I must act convincingly."
Seeing Wei Chen gasping for breath, with an aura of fire surrounding him and his exposed skin and face turning red and purple, Gongye Hong asked anxiously, "Wei Chen, how are you? Can you hold on?"
