Chapter 234 The Wind Rises, Let the Nanshan Family Perish, the Taoist Clears Out, Calamity Dragon Enters the True Monarch.
Within this period, there were three fierce battles in total.The first battle was not won by Abbess Shuiyue.
In the second battle, Yi Chen didn't lose.
In the third battle, Shui Lingyue sought a truce, but he didn't agree.
An hour and a half later, Shui Lingyue obediently fixed Yi Chen's clothes for him.
"Husband, take care of yourself."
"Rest easy, Ling Yue, remember what I told you before," Yi Chen said, embracing Shui Lingyue's fair shoulders for one last farewell.
After stuffing Miao Zi into the beast pouch, he skimmed off toward the direction of the Blood Killing Tower's fortress until Jiangnan Circuit disappeared from his sight. Only then did he stop and cast a fleeting glance behind him before speeding away at an even faster pace.
The higher the level of the cultivator, the more they valued their intuition, a hard-earned spiritual sense developed over many years as a warning for the future.
Having reached Yi Chen's level, he naturally did the same.
According to Yi Chen's theories from his previous life, every living being was constantly emitting pheromones, carrying information that spread in all directions,
and the human body was a wondrous supercomputer of chaos. These sudden hunches, in his view, were a result of receiving and decoding the pheromones aimed at him, thus triggering a spiritual premonition.
"I have delved into the secrets of the physical body, unlocking its mystical potential. This warning in my meridians must mean someone is targeting me in the shadows—I must be on guard."
"For Abbess Shuiyue's safety, the farther I am from her now, the better. I also better not return to Hidden Dragon Temple for the time being."
"Is the Yan Family deploying top-notch experts to ambush me? Or is there some unforeseen disaster brewing in secret?"
"And who is masquerading as me, causing trouble behind the scenes?"
In an instant, Yi Chen's mind was riddled with doubts. Furrowing his brow, his thoughts whirled around, but he couldn't figure out the reasons behind these events. He could only heighten his vigilance and a nameless fury quietly burgeoned within him.
...
...
One day later, at the Blood Killing Tower fortress.
'Gui Zhongdao' had returned to his kingdom.
"Yang, the Left Envoy, besides the fall of the Carefree King, has there been any major event in the Jiangnan Circuit recently?"
Yi Chen sat on the Taishi Chair with a stern face, his authoritative and tyrannical aura assailing everyone present. The intense malice made Yang, the Left Envoy's heart thump erratically, wondering what could have angered the tower master to such an extent.
After pondering for a moment, Yang, the Left Envoy, cautiously replied,
"Tower Master, the most talked-about event in Jiangnan Circuit right now is the debate between Dao Zhen and Buddha's disciple happening in five days."
"Hmm? Wasn't the debate scheduled for fifteen days from now?" Yi Chen asked coldly, surprised by the news. It seemed that a lot had happened during the ten days he had been withdrawn from worldly affairs.
"It is said that the Daoist and Buddhist factions reached some private agreement, which accelerated the proceedings. Both sides are ready and didn't want to wait any longer, hence the date was moved up by ten days."
"How goes the gathering of the sinister items I asked for? Have the Daoist robes been collected? And the batch of storage rings I instructed you to sell off—have all the items inside been sold?"
"Tower Master, a great number of cultivators has flocked into Jiangnan Circuit lately, each trying to make a name for themselves."
"Furthermore, with the Carefree King's downfall, this is currently a period of the best order in Jiangnan Circuit; no demons, ghosts, or evils dare show themselves. Despite all my efforts, we've only managed to collect fifty items."
"As for the items for sale, about seventy percent has been sold, and we still have roughly thirty percent in hand, waiting for the right opportunity to sell."
"Regarding the Daoist robes and paraphernalia, we are still
