Chapter 126: Killing the Foundation and Reaping a Lot of Gains

"Senior, I... am willing!"

After experiencing all of Chen Xuan's methods, Zhou Zhenghu dared not refuse.

At this moment, he wished that Chen Xuan would seize the opportunity to give him a quick death.

Life is so painful!

Death is indeed a relief.

As for whether he can enter the cycle of reincarnation, it is no longer that important to Zhou Zhenghu.

"Tell me, what exactly are you doing with these Yin Corpse Demon Sect?"

"If you dare to lie to me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Chen Xuan said coldly.

Zhou Zhenghu didn't dare to hide it.

Quickly tell everything you know.

After hearing this, Chen Xuan frowned even more tightly.

"According to Zhou Zhenghu, Xue Zhong's death seemed to be just an ordinary spy's betrayal."

"If that's true, even if the Yin Corpse Demon Sect hangs Xue Zhong's head at the entrance of Qingyun Market for a long time, it won't attract the collective wrath of the Yuling Sect's top leaders."

When Chen Xuan thought of this, he became more and more confused.

Xue Zhong is only a disciple of the Yuling Sect in the foundation-building stage.

There are at least 8,000 disciples like him in the Yuling Sect, if not 100,000.

Although the senior cultivators of Yuling Sect are protective of their own people, they would not get so angry just for Xue Zhong.

There may be another hidden story behind this.

Furthermore, Fairy Jindie and True Man Qingmang chose him to take over the intelligence network of Qingyun Market, probably not out of a sincere desire to avenge Xue Zhong.

Otherwise, it would be easy to just send a Jindan stage elder to kill Qian Yilong and Leng Wushuang.

"Could it be that there are some things that Zhou Zhenghu deliberately concealed? Or in other words, Zhou Zhenghu doesn't even know about it?"

The more Chen Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.

After a pause, Chen Xuan's expression suddenly became extremely cold.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, is what you just said really true?"

"Senior, at this point, would I, Zhou Zhenghu, still lie to you?"

"hehe!"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly.

The next moment, a powerful divine consciousness suddenly burst out from Chen Xuan and forced its way into Zhou Zhenghu's mind.

In just a few breaths, all of Zhou Zhenghu's memories were absorbed by Chen Xuan.

"Although the soul-searching technique is only a small secret technique in the Art of Controlling Spirits, and the conditions for its use are somewhat harsh, it is really useful." Chen Xuan said with a satisfied smile.

Soul searching!

A secret technique that can forcibly extract other people's memories.

Generally, it can only be used by a high-level cultivator whose realm is more than one major realm lower than that of a low-level cultivator.

Although Chen Xuan is in the initial stage of foundation building, compared with Zhou Zhenghu who is at the tenth level of Qi Refining, he has just met the conditions to use the soul-searching technique.

This time, it was also the first time that Chen Xuan used the soul-searching technique.

The result did not disappoint Chen Xuan.

Wow!

A fireball fell on Zhou Zhenghu, burning the dazed Zhou Zhenghu into ashes.

However, his storage ring was taken away by Chen Xuan.

"Zhennan Mountain is not far from Qingyun Market. It is also a must-pass place for entering and exiting Taixuan Mountain Range."

"I've been fighting here for so long, I'm afraid I've already attracted other people's attention, and I can't stay here for long."

Chen Xuan muttered.

He let the ice and fire dragon burn the scene again, completely destroying the corpses and traces, and then urged the Kamikaze boat to quickly disappear.

Just wait for Chen Xuan, who had escaped hundreds of miles in one breath, to come to a secluded cave deep in the Taixuan Mountains.

After Chen Xuan spent some time setting up the inverted five elements formation, he asked the red-tailed scorpion king cub and six wind-listening rats to protect him while he himself entered the Beast Taming Tower.

call!

Chen Xuan let out a long sigh.

He casually found a place to meditate and practice, and after his spirit, energy, and spiritual power had fully recovered to their peak state, Chen Xuan opened his eyes.

Look through Zhou Zhenghu's memories carefully.

After a long time, Chen Xuan seemed to have realized something, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Before Xue Zhong was killed, Qian Yilong and Leng Wushuang from the Yin Corpse Demon Sect actually asked Zhou Zhenghu to find a fragment of the map for them."

"Brother Ge also told me about this, but I didn't pay attention to it."

"I didn't expect this to be the trigger that led to Xue Zhong's murder."

"Could it be that the real purpose of Masters Jindie and Qingmang sending me to Qingyun Market is to get the fragment of the map that Yinshi Demon Sect is looking for?"

After thinking carefully for a while, Chen Xuan finally came to his own conclusion.

At the moment, he had no intention of returning to Qingyun Market immediately.

"After the two foundation-building masters of the Yin Corpse Demon Sect were killed, the higher-ups of the Yin Corpse Demon Sect will definitely notice it."

"If I go back to Qingyun Market now, I'm afraid I'll be targeted soon."

"It would be better if I could practice peacefully in this cave and stay out of the spotlight first."

Chen Xuan thought for a while, organized the results of his recent investigation, copied them into a blank jade slip, and then sent the jade slip to the Yuling Sect through special means.

After doing all this, Chen Xuan completely relaxed. After having a good sleep in the Beast Taming Tower, he took out the storage bags of Zhou Zhenghu and the other two.

Zhou Zhenghu is only at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Chen Xuan didn't have much expectations for his storage bag.

With a thought, spiritual power was injected into Zhou Zhenghu's storage bag.

The things inside fell to the ground with a crash.

After Chen Xuan screened them, he obtained a bottle of low-grade small essence pills, three hundred low-grade spirit stones, and two mid-grade spirit weapons.

"It seems that the Yin Corpse Demon Sect did not give Zhou Zhenghu too many benefits."

Chen Xuan sneered and put away the small Essence Pill and the others. As for the remaining things, Chen Xuan destroyed them all with a wave of his hand.

Next, Chen Xuan took out Leng Wushuang’s storage bag.

Wow!

The moment spiritual power was injected into Leng Wushuang's storage bag, a large amount of things fell to the ground.

After an inventory, Chen Xuan obtained 2,500 low-grade spirit stones, two bottles of low-grade spirit-nourishing pills, and a top-grade spiritual weapon.

In addition, there are also some jade slips that record the Yinshi Demon Sect’s skills.

Among them is the Three Corpses Ghost Controlling Technique.

"Most of these jade slips are the techniques of the Yin Corpse Demon Sect. If I sell these things, the Yin Corpse Demon Sect will definitely follow the clues and find me."

"In that case, let's destroy these things as well."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, and several fireballs were instantly ignited.

A large pile of miscellaneous items and jade slips containing martial arts techniques were completely burned to ashes.

Now, only Qian Yilong’s storage bag is left, which makes Chen Xuan very interested.

"The storage bag of the last disciple of the Yin Corpse Monster should not disappoint me, right?"

Chen Xuan looked delighted.

The moment the spiritual power was injected, the things in the storage bag fell to the ground.

There are as many as five thousand low-grade spirit stones alone.

In addition, there are three bottles of top-grade nourishing spirit pills and one bottle of top-grade blood spirit pill.

Three five hundred year old magical herbs.

Two top-grade spiritual weapons.

Several jade slips recording the Yinshi Demon Sect's skills.

"He is worthy of being the last disciple of the old monster Yinshi. His storage bag did not disappoint me." Chen Xuan said with a satisfied smile.

Chen Xuan left behind a few bottles of top-grade elixirs and put all the rest into his storage bag.

"A golden belt for killing and setting fire! This is the eternal truth in the world of immortal cultivators."

Chen Xuan is not a bloodthirsty person.

But this time, he reaped great rewards.

No wonder Chen Xuan was filled with emotion.

However, this is the trend in the world of immortal cultivation.

Chen Xuan’s realm is low now. He is unable to change anything and can only learn to adapt.

After finishing the tasks at hand, Chen Xuan did not rush to practice.

Taking this opportunity, he recalled the battle between himself and Qian Yilong and others.

Carefully summarize combat experience, analyze your own shortcomings and advantages, and find solutions.

After finishing all these things, Chen Xuan flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle as white as jade.

Even before the jade bottle was opened, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance was already emanating from it.

What is contained inside is the Demon Spirit Pill which can help demon beasts improve their realm.

His divine sense fell on the Demon Spirit Pill and he examined it carefully.

After confirming that the Demon Spirit Pill had not been tampered with, Chen Xuan had an idea and summoned the red-tailed scorpion king cub.

"Squeak!"

The red-tailed scorpion king cub circled around Chen Xuan and screamed affectionately.

"This is for you, don't let the Ice and Fire Dragon take it away."

Chen Xuan smiled and gave the Demon Spirit Pill to the red-tailed scorpion king cub.

"Squeak!"

The young red-tailed scorpion king happily swallowed the Demon Spirit Pill in one gulp.

After playing intimately with Chen Xuan for a while, he began to feel drowsy.

Chen Xuan hurriedly sent the red-tailed scorpion king cub to the second floor of the Beast Taming Tower and let it practice in seclusion.

"With this demon spirit pill, the young red-tailed scorpion king should be able to grow into an adult red-tailed scorpion king."

"By then, its realm will be able to be raised to the foundation-building stage, right?"

Chen Xuan smiled happily, took out a top-grade elixir and started practicing seriously.

Just when Chen Xuan was hiding in the Taixuan Mountains to practice.

The jade slip that he transmitted to the Yuling Sect through a special channel also appeared in the hands of Fairy Jindie.

Yuling Sect, in the secret room of the Merit Hall.

Fairy Golden Butterfly, True Man Green Python and True Man Red Python sat opposite each other.

"Second Senior Brother, this is the jade slip that Chen Xuan sent back not long ago."

"As we expected, the Yinshi Demon Sect must have discovered something in Qingyun Market this time."

"Their actions should have been discovered by Xue Zhong, which led to his death."

As Fairy Golden Butterfly explained, she gave the jade slip that Chen Xuan had teleported into her hand to True Man Zimang.

After Master Zimang finished reading it, his expression became extremely solemn.

"Over the years, the Yin Corpse Demon Sect has become more and more arrogant. Not long ago, the Sky Eagle Fort under my Yuling Sect was actually instigated by the Yin Corpse Demon Sect and completely turned to the Yin Corpse Demon Sect."

"In that case, no matter what the Yin Corpse Demon Sect is looking for, we in the Yuling Sect cannot stand idly by."

Fairy Golden Butterfly and Master Green Python nodded at the same time.

"Senior Brother Zimang, if that's the case, should we make some arrangements on Chen Xuan's side?" said Fairy Golden Butterfly.

"No need. Chen Xuan is a very smart guy. He should know what to do. We don't do anything for now. Once he makes new progress, it won't be too late to give him a clear task." said Master Zimang.

Fairy Golden Butterfly nodded.

After a moment, she seemed to remember something and her expression became extremely solemn again.

"Second Brother, this fellow Chen Xuan killed the last disciple of the Yin Corpse Monster. The Yin Corpse Monster and the Wu Xian Po will definitely not let this go. We must handle this matter properly."

"Otherwise, Chen Xuan might be in danger."
