#570 - The fish is hooked?

Great Zhou Dynasty, a certain area.

Myriad layers of tribulation clouds, raging thunder and lightning, submerged hundreds of miles around.

Shapeshifting lightning continuously pounced down from the sky, those beast forms were as large as mountains, their aura astonishing.

The heavenly tribulation has continued until now, this is already the ninth wave of tribulation lightning.

People can still hear the painful roars coming from the center of the thunder sea.

After this wave of thunder tribulation, the heavenly might is dissipating from the heavy tribulation clouds, and the lightning is fading away.

Everyone is looking up at the sky.

The people of Great Zhou couldn't help but breathe a heavy sigh of relief!

He survived, Lord Divine survived the thunder tribulation!

However, the lurkers from forces such as the Ancient Phoenix Sect had gloomy faces.

Although they expected that Jun Wuxie would survive the thunder tribulation, facing such a result, their mood was still very bad.

How great would it be if that kid could die under the thunder tribulation?

The heavy tribulation clouds, as if about to press down to the ground, are rapidly dispersing.

In that low mountain range, the thunder sea is also dissipating.

Mu Yunxi, who had finished transcending the tribulation, had already activated the invisibility talisman and quietly left, returning to Sect King Mountain.

Only the Primordial Avatar, who used self-mutilation to make himself bloody and scorched, was left in the center of the thunder sea.

He looked very embarrassed and weak, as if he had used all his strength to barely stand in the void.

When the thunder sea completely dissipated, the entire mountain range was revealed.

The heavenly tribulation is a power derived from order, with precise judgment and targeting, it did not destroy the mountains and vegetation.

A figure staggered out from the center of the mountain range, his whole body scorched, golden blood flowing, dragging his broken body towards the direction of Sect King Mountain.

"Although Lord Divine is heavily injured, with his tyrannical physical body, I believe he will return to his peak state in a few days!"

"After passing this tribulation, Lord Divine will be a powerhouse in the Saint Realm!"

"Yes, before the Saint Realm, it was as easy for Lord Divine to kill peak Saints as cutting grass! Now that he has reached the Saint Realm, he is probably invincible below the Half-Saint!"

"Amazing, Lord Divine is only twenty years old! With such achievements, who can compete with him since ancient times?"

The warriors of Great Zhou were amazed, their eyes fiery, their faces full of worship and awe.

This man, to them, is a god! A god who protects Great Zhou and saves all of them!

He is their spiritual pillar and spiritual belief!

Only after Jun Wuxie's figure disappeared into the distant sky did people gradually disperse.

Different from when they came, the crowd of Great Zhou had relaxed faces, their eyes filled with undisguised excitement and excitement, no longer as nervous and apprehensive as when they came.

"The one surnamed Jun was severely injured in the tribulation, if we can lure him out of Great Zhou before he recovers, then killing him will be foolproof!"

"We must quickly send the news back to the sect and let the sect's Half-Saints decide."

Several lurkers discussed this, and then quickly left.

… …

Sect King Mountain, inside the small courtyard.

Jun Wuxie was sitting in front of the bluestone table, the women all by his side.

The crippled and broken avatar returned, directly transforming into a drop of blood essence and returning to his body.

"Yunxi's aura now…"

Lingfei looked at Mu Yunxi, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Jun Wuxie said with a smile: "This tribulation, Yunxi has benefited a lot, and has been promoted to the legendary realm in one fell swoop!" He said, looking at the other women, and said: "You have to work harder and strive to enter this realm as soon as possible."

"I'm afraid I have no hope in this life…"

Su Lan sighed, her eyes somewhat dim.

The women here are all proud daughters of heaven, with extraordinary bloodlines, only her talent is the lowest, in the past she could only be regarded as a genius.

Even following Jun Wuxie, she has received many opportunities and gifts, and now she is only an Eternal King, the distance to the legend is too far, almost invisible hope.

"Don't underestimate yourself, if it were in the past, it would indeed be a slim hope, but this era is different, I will definitely let you step into the legend!"

Jun Wuxie is very confident, this era is too special, the world's rare treasures that were difficult to find in the past are no longer so difficult to find in this era.

Some things can be used to shape people, change bloodlines, and strengthen talents.

"Wuxie, Mother, sisters, I have to retreat. Having just broken through to the Saint Realm and promoted to the legend, the potential of my ancient god bloodline seems to have been awakened again, and it will take some time to digest the potential power, and by the way, stabilize the realm to see if I can improve myself again."

Mu Yunxi's temperament has changed slightly, becoming a Saint, her aura is much stronger than before, and the temperament emanating from her bones is a bit more aloof, more detached than before.

"Go, retreat with peace of mind, don't worry about other things."

Mu Xuelan patted the back of her hand.

Mu Yunxi nodded, came to Jun Wuxie, stared at him, her eyes slightly trembling, and said: "You promise me, no matter what, you must take care of yourself, you can't fall down, come back alive, don't let us sisters live worse than death!"

"What are you thinking?" Jun Wuxie gently stroked her cold and beautiful face, and said lightly: "Under the Cliff of Extinction, I have survived that kind of desperate situation, what else can threaten my life? You retreat well."

"Wuxie, remember, you are the most important pillar in my heart, if it collapses, Yunxi's world will also collapse…"

Her eyes were filled with tears, and after she finished speaking, without waiting for Jun Wuxie to respond, she turned and left, disappearing from sight.

Jun Wuxie was silent.

The women all stared at him, what Mu Yunxi said was exactly what they wanted to say.

It's just that, since Mu Yunxi has said it, they don't want to say it anymore, that would put too much pressure on this man.

"I will not fall, no one can make me fall!"

Jun Wuxie said this, like a promise, and like a murmur to himself.

Looking at the eyes of these women, he only felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier.

What he has to do is not only to protect them, but also to take care of himself, and not let them live in agony in the years to come.

… …

Time soon came to the next day.

In a certain mysterious area that is not known to the world.

There are many dark red palaces and halls here, the doors on both sides of each palace and hall are inlaid with human skulls, blood is constantly dripping from the mouths and eye sockets of those skulls, which is shocking.

"Chenyu, how is your recovery?"

In the dim blood-colored hall, there were many black-robed people, Yue Chenyu stood in the center of the hall, facing the inquiry, her cold eyes met the black-robed elder in front, and said: "Reporting to Elder Hun, my injury has recovered almost, thank you for your concern, Elders Hun."

"Chenyu, we admire your decisiveness and courage in assassinating Jun Wuxie. We should have let you heal your wounds, but now the situation is special, this time is the best time for us to kill Jun Wuxie, we must not delay any longer, otherwise the Military Saint will appear and establish new rules, we will miss this opportunity."

Yue Chenyu's cold eyes looked at the elders in front of her, and said: "What do the Elders Hun need Chenyu to do?"

"We need you to immediately enter the territory of Great Zhou, sneak into Sect King Mountain, and assassinate Jun Wuxie again!"

Yue Chenyu couldn't help being stunned when she heard this, a trace of resistance appeared on her cold face, and said: "Although Chenyu wants to kill Jun Wuxie, who has repeatedly opposed my Soul Hunting Palace, she has already survived the Saint Realm tribulation, Chenyu is far from being his opponent, going like this will not only fail to kill him, but will end up dying."

"We have received news that Jun Wuxie's body was extremely damaged in the tribulation, and it will take several days to recover. You still have a chance to save your life if you go to assassinate him at this moment." A Soul Hunting Palace powerhouse flicked his finger, and an ancient talisman filled with spatial aura flew to Yue Chenyu: "This talisman is called the Shrinking Ground into Inches Talisman. If you hold it, you can regard the distance of mountains and rivers as an inch within a period of time, and a speed of thousands of times the speed of sound is not a problem."

Yue Chenyu stared at the ancient talisman in front of her, and remained silent for a while.

"Chenyu, you are the Soul Maiden of my Soul Hunting Palace, you should shoulder your responsibilities! Even if you sacrifice for the Soul Hunting Palace, that is what you should dedicate! Moreover, this time we are not asking you to kill Jun Wuxie. But to anger him and lure him out of Great Zhou!"

As the old man spoke, he stretched out his hand and drew in the void, a piece of light lit up, presenting a map.

He pointed to the map and said: "The black area above is the destination we need you to lead him to, located on the edge of the Dragon Ridge Mountains."

"If that's the case, Chenyu will definitely not disgrace her mission!" Yue Chenyu put away the Shrinking Ground into Inches Talisman, remembered the area on the map, and said: "It's just that Chenyu doesn't understand, why must he be led into the Dragon Ridge Mountains? As long as he leaves the Great Zhou Capital City, with the abilities of Elder Hun and others, it is not difficult to kill him."

"Humph! This opportunity is rare and must be foolproof. This time, we have dispatched a large number of Lesser Heavenly Position Half-Saints, so we must eliminate all possible variables. Once you enter the Dragon Ridge Mountains, you can use the field there to affect the Military Saint's perception. In addition, we have set up a perception isolation formation there, so the Military Saint will definitely have difficulty in locking Jun Wuxie's so-called location in a short time!"

"Chenyu understands, I will immediately enter Great Zhou!"

After Yue Chenyu finished speaking, she turned and left.

In the hall, the Half-Saints of the Soul Hunting Palace watched her leave, and a cold light gradually appeared in their eyes.

"As long as Chenyu doesn't fail, there will be no suspense…"

"Why did you have to tell her the whole plan just now? According to the people of the Sea Clan, she once snatched the Holy Maiden of the Ice Cloud Tower from the hands of the Sea Clan in that demon clan secret land, but that Holy Maiden of the Ice Cloud Tower is now living well, which is thought-provoking!"

"She is very calculating and has a deep mind, but betrayal should be out of the question. Otherwise, she wouldn't have attempted to assassinate Jun Wuxie. Besides, why would she let that Holy Maiden of Ice Cloud Tower go? I deliberately informed her of the plan to cut off all her escape routes. She only has one choice: to lure Jun Wuxie out. Otherwise, if our plan fails, she knows what kind of end she will meet!"

"Well, no matter what Shen Yu thinks, she has no other intentions when it comes to killing Jun Wuxie. Even if she has her own ideas and is no longer absolutely loyal to our Soul Hunting Hall, she definitely doesn't want that kid named Jun to live. On this point, we are aligned."

"Alright, it's time to notify the semi-saints of those forces and have them immediately go to the designated area. We should also take action."

…

After Yue Chenyu left the main hall, she did not leave this mysterious stronghold immediately.

Instead, she walked towards the outside of the stronghold at a leisurely pace.

During this process, she released her powerful divine sense and overheard the conversation of the semi-saints in the main hall.

"As I expected, the events in the demon race's secret land reached their ears. These old foxes have been suspecting me all along. Fortunately, Young Master Jun and I planned seamlessly and staged such a bitter drama, and made them take the initiative to ask me to lure him out. Otherwise, this plan might not have gone so smoothly…"

Yue Chenyu thought to herself that if she had brought it up proactively, with the personalities of those old foxes, they might have deepened their suspicion of her.

Now, things are going very smoothly, one step at a time, all within her and Jun Wuxie's calculations.

Even the reactions of the various forces and the psychology of those old guys are almost exactly as they expected.

"Young Master Jun's mind is also frighteningly meticulous. He predicted that they would be wary of the Military Saint and would definitely seek out an area where they believe the Military Saint would not be able to sense it in a short time. This just gave him the opportunity to leave a way out for himself…"

On her way to the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yue Chenyu carefully sorted out these things in her mind.

She was very grateful that the person who could provide her with shelter was Jun Wuxie. If it were someone else, whether she could trust them was another matter, and whether they would have his courage and madness?

Most importantly, courage and madness alone are far from enough. One must also have a meticulous mind.

Only in this way can one be invincible.

Courage, wisdom, and strength – that is the key.

Lacking any of these will lead to eternal doom!

…

While she was heading to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the semi-saints from the Soul Hunting Hall, Ancient Phoenix Sect, Pure Heaven Sect, Golden Ancient City, Holy Gate, Heaven Opening Sword Sect, and other forces were also taking action.

These forces, a total of sixty Lesser Celestial Realm veteran semi-saints and more than ten newly advanced semi-saints, appeared in the border area of the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

The area they planned was very large, covering hundreds of miles.

Here, the high mountains and great peaks crisscrossed, and the earth and mountains were filled with a mysterious field aura, which greatly weakened people's divine sense perception.

Normally, the divine sense perception of a Lesser Celestial Realm semi-saint could cover tens of thousands of miles, and they could accurately sense any movement within a thousand miles.

But here, their maximum perception was only a thousand miles, and accurate perception was less than a hundred miles, showing how great the impact was.

"Fellow Daoists, let's take action immediately. This time, we will make sure he has no way to return, no way to go to heaven or earth!"

Dozens of semi-saints communicated in the air, and then fell into the mountains one after another, building secret formations according to the plan, completely isolating the aura of this area, making it difficult for the outside world to sense anything within the formation area with their divine sense.

…

Zongwang Mountain, Capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

A bloody sword light suddenly bloomed within Zongwang Mountain, tearing apart the sky. A cold killing intent permeated the air, making the heaven and earth there seem to freeze.

Immediately following was a cold, murderous voice: "Soul Maiden, you escaped by chance when I was transcending the tribulation. Today, you dare to come again, seeking your own death!"

Almost at the same time, a black-clothed woman covered in blood rushed out from Zongwang Mountain.

Jun Wuxie, wearing a moon-white sword robe, chased after her, his golden blood energy surging to the sky, his killing intent sweeping across the eight wastelands!

"Soul Maiden! You are too arrogant!"

Almost at the same time, several women appeared in the sky above Zongwang Mountain, holding ancient swords, their eyes all cold.

"You stay behind, I'll go kill her!"

Jun Wuxie left these words and chased after her with滔天killing intent.

The strong cultivators in the Great Zhou Dynasty were all alarmed and came to the high altitude to look at Zongwang Mountain.

"Quickly send a message to the semi-saints of the sect. The fish has taken the bait!"

The strong cultivators of the Ancient Phoenix Sect and other forces lurking in the Great Zhou Dynasty curled their lips into a cold smile, activated the communication jade talisman, and quickly sent the message out.

"This hateful brat has been jumping around for so long. Today, it will finally come to an end!"

"Since ancient times, anyone who opposes us cannot survive, even with the support of the Military Saint!"

"Dare to provoke our sects, there is only one way: death!"

"Well, unfortunately, we can't see with our own eyes the scene of that kid being trapped in a desperate situation, facing death with fear, despair, and a face full of unwillingness. What kind of expression do you think he will have at that time? Hahaha!"

Those strong cultivators lurking in the Great Zhou Dynasty laughed at each other, their faces filled with satisfaction.
