Chapter 54: Conspiracy and Intrigue, Arrival at Yuling Sect

"Finally dead?"

Looking at Fu Tianyu who was already dead, Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

But Chen Xuan did not dare to be careless.

With a thought, he ordered the Ice and Fire Dragon and the Red-tailed Scorpion King cub to attack at the same time to deal with the severely injured Golden-backed Flying Eagle.

In just half a cup of tea, the golden-backed eagle also completely perished.

Only then did Chen Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.

"These immortal cultivation geniuses from big families are indeed very difficult to deal with. Fortunately, Fu Tianyu came alone to kill me. If he had brought a Foundation Establishment expert from the Fu family, I'm afraid I would not be able to escape death this time."

Chen Xuan muttered.

With a casual move, he put away Fu Tianyu's storage ring, and then casually ignited a few fireballs, burning the Golden-backed Eagle and Fu Tianyu's body to ashes, and then his eyes turned to the Black Dragon Flag.

Without the Black Dragon Flag controlled by Fu Tianyu, it now lay quietly on the ground, completely losing its spirituality.

Chen Xuan smiled happily and put away the black dragon flag.

"Although I lost the top-grade spiritual weapon, the Ice Sword, in this battle. Even the flying needle lost a lot of its spiritual power, I did gain a top-grade spiritual weapon, the Black Dragon Flag, which is well worth the money."

Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

After carefully handling the scene and gathering his belongings, Chen Xuan activated the Wind-Controlling Spirit Boat, made a big circle, and returned to Taixuan Valley.

Taixuan Valley is still bustling with activity.

When Chen Xuan returned, the Taixuan Mountain Ascension Conference had also come to an end.

After Chen Xuan found Su Muyao and asked around, he learned that Zhu Qianxi and her sister had successfully joined the Caiyun Sect.

Seeded players such as Feng Wushuang and Hua Wenyu also successfully joined the seven major sects of immortal cultivators.

Moreover, he got a foundation-building pill as he wished.

"Congratulations, Fairy Su. After you return to Yuling Sect, you can practice in seclusion and strive to reach the foundation-building stage. I wish you success in foundation-building." Chen Xuan looked at Su Muyao and smiled.

Su Muyao smiled gently and was lovely.

"I was able to make it into the top ten this time, thanks to the Soul-Nourishing Pill from you, Fellow Daoist Chen. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been sure of getting the Foundation-Building Pill reward." Su Muyao said with a smile.

After a pause, Su Muyao continued, "By the way, my new disciple from the Yuling Sect will set off in two days and return to the Yuling Sect. Fellow Daoist Chen, don't wander around during this period!"

"Don't worry, fairy. I won't be going anywhere during this period. I will be practicing in seclusion in the secret room. I will meet up with you when it's time to set off." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Although Fu Tianyu and Su Muyao knew each other.

For some reason, Su Muyao deliberately avoided the question and didn't mention it at all.

There was no conversation for a while. After Chen Xuan said goodbye to Su Muyao, he went to find Zhu Qianxi and her sister to congratulate them, and then he returned to the secret room he rented to practice in seclusion.

Now Fu Tianyu is dead.

Chen Xuan knew clearly that the wealthy family of Tianying Castle would not let it go.

At the moment, Chen Xuan hopes that the strong men from the Yuling Sect can set off as soon as possible.

Once I return to the Yuling Sect, I will be truly safe.

"It's because my strength is not strong enough. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to be so timid." Chen Xuan said secretly.

With a thought, Chen Xuan directly entered the Beast Taming Tower.

Sitting on the ground, Chen Xuan directly activated the Soul Control Technique to restore the spiritual power in his dantian to its peak state. Then he flipped his hand and took out Fu Tianyu's storage bag.

Wow!

The things in Fu Tianyu's storage bag fell to the ground in an instant.

After an inventory, Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

"Low-grade spirit stones, 1,500 pieces. Two bottles of low-grade small essence pills. Ten stalks of demon-subduing grass. A dozen low-grade fireballs!"

"These things alone are worth a lot of money. If you add the top-grade spiritual weapon Black Dragon Flag, I will make a fortune this time."

Chen Xuan was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Top-grade spiritual weapons are extremely rare.

Ordinary cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage simply cannot afford it.

It is generally not used.

Only a talented and powerful person from a big family like Fu Tianyu would carry a self-defense item with him.

Now, the Black Dragon Flag has fallen into Chen Xuan's hands, but Chen Xuan will not use it easily.

This is his ultimate means of attack.

"Now, my cultivation is still not very high. I have two top-grade spiritual weapons, the Destruction Gold Brick and the Black Dragon Flag, which are enough for self-defense."

"Next, I just need to seize the time to practice and work hard to improve my realm."

Chen Xuan muttered secretly.

After he had completely finished the things at hand, he took out the small Essence Pill and sat cross-legged beside the cold pool to meditate and practice.

Just when Chen Xuan returned safely to Taixuan Valley, a roar suddenly came from the secret room where Fu Cheng, the lord of Feiying Fort in Taixuan Valley, was in seclusion.

"Which bastard killed my grandson? If I find the murderer, I will tear him into pieces."

Fu Cheng laughed angrily.

Soon, his figure flashed and disappeared.

When he appeared again, Fu Cheng was already in the secret room where the old ghost was in seclusion.

"Master Fu? What's up?"

The old ghost looked at Fu Cheng who suddenly appeared in surprise, and his expression became extremely confused.

Fu Cheng nodded, and his spiritual thoughts quietly spread out, sweeping through the old ghost's secret room.

Only then did he carefully cast a soundproofing spell.

"Old ghost, I need your help to find the murderer who killed my grandson Fu Tianyu. As long as this is done, I will lead the people of Feiying Fort to join your Yinshi Demon Sect immediately." Fu Cheng said.

The old ghost didn't say anything.

He looked at Fu Cheng with a half-smile.

Fu Cheng knew very well that if he didn't show some sincerity this time, the old ghost would not believe him just based on his words.

After a moment of silence, Fu Cheng said, "I swear by my inner demon, how about that?"

"Haha, I feel relieved with your words. Please wait here for a moment. I will send someone to investigate this matter."

After the old ghost finished speaking, he took out a sound transmission talisman, said a few words, and then quickly activated it.

About a meal's time later, a fireball appeared in the secret room.

The old ghost flicked his finger and the fireball shattered, turning into a sound transmission talisman.

After the old ghost finished reading the contents of the sound transmission note, he said, "Master Fu, the murderer of your grandson has been found. It is Chen Xuan, a disciple of the Yuling Sect. However, this person seems to have some relationship with Fairy Jindie. In addition, he has a close relationship with the Su family. If we act rashly, it may cause a lot of trouble."

"Old ghost, do you mean to let me just let it go?" Fu Cheng sneered.

"No, wait until the wealthy families of Feiying Fort have completely surrendered to our Yinshi Demon Sect, and then we will naturally come forward to resolve this matter. As for the life and death of that ant Chen Xuan, isn't it just a matter of a word from us?"

"If that's the case... everything will be done according to your wishes, Old Ghost. We at Feiying Fort need to become a member of the Yin Corpse Demon Sect as soon as possible, so Old Ghost, please hurry up on this matter."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

The old ghost smiled with satisfaction.

Next, Fu Cheng and Lao Gui talked about some other things in detail, and then Fu Cheng said goodbye and left.

There was no conversation for a while. Two days later, an extremely huge golden butterfly appeared in the sky above Taixuan Valley.

On the golden butterfly, the Golden Butterfly Fairy stood with her hands behind her back with a cold and arrogant look.

Behind the Golden Butterfly Fairy, Chen Xuan and other new disciples of the Yuling Sect stood at the back with respectful expressions.

After a moment, the golden butterfly flapped its wings and turned into a flowing cloud and disappeared over Taixuan Mountain.

Chen Xuan suddenly felt that the scenery around him became blurry.

About ten days later, the golden butterfly appeared above a majestic mountain.

Soon after, pavilions and towers hidden in the mountains also appeared one after another.

This is where the Yuling Sect, the largest sect of immortal cultivators in the State of Zhao, is located.

Chen Xuan and others who had just arrived were all excited when they saw this.

Only the Golden Butterfly Fairy controlled the golden butterfly, passed through layers of protective formations, and finally stopped in an enormous square halfway up the mountain.

"We are here. Everyone, go down and accept the test of the Yuling Sect. Only those who pass the test can become disciples of the Yuling Sect. Do you understand?"
