The scarlet-clad man could only watch, unable to resist, as the Tyrant Saber slowly approached him.
A Great Perfection Sovereign Personage would fall like that. The scarlet-clad, middle-aged man felt exceedingly sorrowful.
Below, Qin Zhuolin felt somewhat stunned at the sight. Regaining his senses, he shouted, “Xiao Chen, we can't kill him yet!”
“Pu ci!”
At Qin Zhuolin's reminder, the Tyrant Saber, which should have shredded the scarlet-clad, middle-aged man's body, only stabbed the scarlet-clad man's chest. Blood spurted out as the saber pinned him to the ground.
Xiao Chen landed gently on the ground. Then, he looked at Sang and Qin Zhuolin. As they exchanged looks, they felt gratified.
“Sang kept saying that you were fine. Now, I finally believe it. Looking at your strength, I don't have to feel guilty anymore.”
Qin Zhuolin truly heaved a sigh of relief. Over the past four years, he had reproached himself several times.
Now, when Xiao Chen appeared, he crushed a Great Perfection Sovereign Personage. He must have received a tremendous fortuitous encounter.
Xiao Chen had gained a blessing through a disaster. Although Qin Zhuolin was not jealous, he could not help feeling a little envious.
Sang pointed to the front and said, “Let's reminisce later. Let's see what that fellow is here to do.”
“Right.”
Xiao Chen nodded. The three pushed off the ground and arrived by the scarlet-clad, middle-aged man's side with a few leaps.
Seeing the scarlet-clad man pinned to the ground by the Tyrant Saber, unable to move at all, Xiao Chen felt gratified.
Although Xiao Chen had made it look easy earlier when he danced in with his saber under the blood moon, he had used his full power, not holding anything back.
If Xiao Chen could not keep the scarlet-clad, middle-aged man after all that, his four years of bitter cultivation and training would have been wasted.
Xiao Chen materialized the Flawless saber Dao at the end because he realized that deficiencies had appeared in his Saber Dao.
The things Xiao Chen lost and did not care about in the past had become his shackles.
He needed to make up these deficiencies to raise his Saber Great Dao to a Dao Domain.
Otherwise, he might never progress further in his life.
“Brother Qin, why aren't we killing this person?” Xiao Chen asked softly.
Qin Zhuolin explained, “He is from the Xuewu Dynasty's royal court. The Xuewu Dynasty should not be offended casually. This faction is even scarier than the six great Demonic Dao sects.”
The Xuewu Dynasty dominated the underworld of the Central Great Realm, ruling all the Demonic Dao factions in the world. It resisted three dynasties and eight great empires alone without falling.
This showed just how strong it was.
However, Xiao Chen already knew this beforehand. He smiled and said, “So, that's the reason. I already knew that. He is the Eighth Prince's man. However, he is clearly just an abandoned pawn. Otherwise, the job of offending the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor would not have fallen to him. If we kill him, so be it. He holds no value.”
The scarlet-clad, middle-aged man, who had been listening intently, felt flustered on hearing that.
This matter involved his life and death, something of towering importance to him. He quickly said, “Don't kill me. I am the Eighth Prince's trusted aide. Spare me. The Eighth Prince will definitely come to save me. At that time, you will be able to obtain benefits from him.”
Xiao Chen stepped forward and pulled out the Tyrant Saber, making the scarlet-clad, middle-aged man cry out in agony.
“Brother Qin, what do you think?”
Qin Zhuolin thought for a while before replying, “Since the Eighth Prince sent him, he would guess that we did it if this person died. No matter what, we'll end up offending the Eighth Prince, so we might as well spare him and make the Eighth Prince pay a ransom to take him away. At the very least, we can put this trash to use.”
Xiao Chen agreed with this. The Eighth Prince wanted Qing Chen. No matter what, Xiao Chen could not let the Eighth Prince have her.
Whether Xiao Chen killed the scarlet-clad man or not, he would end up offending this Eighth Prince. Qin Zhuolin was right; he might as well put this trash to use.
The scarlet-clad, middle-aged man felt like vomiting blood when he heard this. What do you mean “put this trash to use”? I am a bona fide Great Perfection Sovereign Personage. To think that I only can survive by being used.
Damn it! Don't ever give me an opportunity. I will definitely repay this tenfold.
However, after the scarlet-clad man thought about it, he recalled that this white-clad youth already comprehended the state of Martial and Soul as One at a young age.
This white-clad bladesman defeated me as a Small Perfection Sovereign Personage. How could I have the chance to take revenge in the future?
With such strength, he is not inferior to the Eighth Prince in any way.
“What are you thinking?”
Xiao Chen saw the scarlet-clad, middle-aged man's eyes rolling around while this person lay on the ground. He ruthlessly slapped this person's face with his scabbard. Then, he quickly left seals in this person's body, restraining this person's Soul Energy and Veritable Essence Energy, essentially crippling him.
The scarlet-clad, middle-aged man cried out in pain. He quickly tried to collect his thoughts.
“Lock him up first and send news of his capture to the Xuewu Empire's Eighth Prince. If the Eighth Prince does not come in half a month, we will kill him,” Xiao Chen said casually, deciding this scarlet-clad, middle-aged man's fate.
Half a month?! That is impossible!
The scarlet-clad, middle-aged man wanted to say something upon hearing that. However, before he could open his mouth, Sang knocked him out with a palm strike.
Qin Zhuolin said, “Xiao Chen, you seem to know why he is here.”
Xiao Chen nodded. “He is here for the Extreme Yin Body. The Demonic Dao Cultivation Technique that this Eighth Prince cultivates requires a large number of young girls. The Extreme Yin Body is a boundlessly tempting cultivation cauldron for him.”
“An Extreme Yin Body? This is a problem. If no large faction takes her in, something will happen to her sooner or later. Neither of us can protect her,” Qin Zhuolin said seriously, slightly startled at this information.
“It's fine. I've already thought of what to do.”
“That is fine, then. Tell us what you have been doing during the past four years,” Qin Zhuolin prompted, feeling somewhat curious.
Xiao Chen made a slightly rueful face. “My experiences during the past four years are hard to describe briefly.”
They were indeed hard to describe briefly. For the first two years, Xiao Chen got thrashed by two vicious-tongued puppets. This nearly caused his heart for the Martial Dao to crumble.
During the latter two years, Xiao Chen caught up and slowly rebuilt his confidence.
Xiao Chen did not mention the ancient Azure Dragon City or the golden-armored army, only sharing stories about the Black and White Eggs and the palace their master left behind.
“Hahaha! To think there are such amusing puppets. I have to meet them when I have a chance.” Qin Zhuolin could not help guffawing after hearing all that.
The three chatted until the sky turned bright; then, Sang and Qin Zhuolin took their leave to let Xiao Chen rest.
After four years, Xiao Chen finally had some leisure time, which he could use to relax.
However, Xiao Chen did not truly rest. He spent his time searching his storage ring, seeking the treasure that the dragon soul spoke of.
The storage ring's interior was very messy. Everything could be found there. Just the things from the Kunlun Realm alone formed a large pile. As for the things of the Great Thousand Realm, there were even more.
After tidying the space, Xiao Chen discovered some treasures that he had ignored in the past.
Although these treasures were useless to him, he could earn something by selling them off.
Right now, Xiao Chen lacked resources. Even a small amount would help.
However, he searched for more than four hours for what he wanted but did not find anything.
What treasure can help me to execute the state of cycle?
Just as Xiao Chen felt somewhat frustrated, he found an ancient bronze mirror.
His eyes lit up. The Three Life Mirror?
