Chapter 148 The Death of Yu Xuanfeng
Chen Xu was taken aback upon hearing this, then let out a cold laugh: "Heh."
"On what grounds?"
"Just because I can kill Zhao Wujiu on the stage today, I can kill you, Yu Xuanfeng, anywhere tomorrow, understand?"
Upon hearing this, [Shattered Jade] almost cried out, her voice filled with disbelief:
"How...how did you know my identity?! Who are you?!"
Chen Xu's gaze, hidden beneath his black robe, swept over the two characters "Shattered Jade" above the other's head, but he offered no explanation.
He even found it hard to understand how Yu Xuanfeng, with his limited intelligence, had managed to survive until now.
He simply stretched out his hand again, his voice now laced with threat: "Danfang, or wait to die..."
The phantom of [Shattered Jade] froze in place for a moment.
After a moment of silence, Yu Xuanfeng stopped talking and waved out a spiritual light mark containing the information of the pill formula.
Chen Xu's illusory hand clenched, and the spiritual light instantly merged into it.
He didn't look at [Shattered Jade] again, and his figure began to blur and disappear in the light and shadow.
After leaving the Dark Domain, he immediately took out a jade slip, entered the jade slip space with his consciousness, and began to study the pill formula.
Although the materials required for the elixir are rare, they should not be difficult to collect with a little more spirit stone.
……
Meanwhile, in Qinglan City, at the Yu Mansion.
Yu Xuanfeng slammed the black token in his hand onto the table, his breathing rapid and cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"How dare he be so sure I am Yu Xuanfeng?!" He paced back and forth in frustration, his eyes filled with doubt and suspicion.
"The Dark Pavilion token can block detection, and his face and aura are all illusions... Could he be trying to trick me?!"
A glint of wisdom flashed in Yu Xuanfeng's eyes as he muttered to himself, "This 'Peace'... there's definitely something wrong with it!"
"No... I have to find out who he is..."
Thinking of this, he grabbed the token and put it back into his storage bag, preparing to go to the Dark Pavilion's headquarters to inquire about information.
However, Yu Xuanfeng was restless the whole way and walked in a hurry.
Not long after leaving the gates of the Yu residence, I sensed that something was amiss.
Immediately afterwards, a cold spiritual pressure descended from behind without warning.
Yu Xuanfeng's hair stood on end. His late-stage Foundation Establishment spiritual power instinctively tried to circulate to protect his body, but it was firmly suppressed by that terrifying pressure.
He then turned his head with difficulty and found that Zhao Kun had appeared behind him at some point.
"Senior Zhao... Senior Zhao?! What are you doing here?"
Yu Xuanfeng was so frightened that his soul almost left his body.
Zhao Kun approached step by step, his tone chilling: "After much thought, I believe there's something sinister about Wu Jiu's death."
"Regardless of the rules of the arena, and regardless of whether your Yu family has interfered... I will conduct a soul search and find out the truth!"
He suddenly raised his hand, his five fingers forming a claw, the tips of which were wrapped with crimson spiritual energy chains, aiming straight for Yu Xuanfeng's crown.
"No!!" Yu Xuanfeng was immediately horrified.
Soul searching can cause minor damage to the soul, turning someone into an idiot, or even result in the soul being completely destroyed on the spot.
"Senior Zhao, life and death are determined in a duel! You can't..."
"Shut up!" Zhao Kun shouted, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
The chains of spiritual energy, like red-hot irons, pierced his skull.
"Ugh!!"
The agonizing screams continued, Yu Xuanfeng's eyes rolled back, and his body convulsed violently.
His soul was being pierced and tormented by countless steel needles under Zhao Kun's domineering intrusion of divine sense.
Zhao Kun's consciousness ruthlessly churned through his chaotic fragments of memory.
Scenes from the arena, and even Yu Xuanfeng's previous memories, flashed by rapidly...
"It really is related to you!!!" Zhao Kun roared inwardly, his anger almost burning away his reason.
However, just as Zhao Kun's divine sense was trying to delve deeper into Yu Xuanfeng's memories about the Dark Pavilion...
A chilling, restrictive force suddenly erupted from the deepest part of Yu Xuanfeng's soul.
"Buzz..."
An invisible shockwave spread out from Yu Xuanfeng's head.
"Hmph!" Zhao Kun's face turned pale, and he groaned, forced to withdraw his divine sense, his heart filled with surprise and uncertainty.
That restrictive power not only blocked detection, but also carried a terrifying aura capable of annihilating the soul.
This made even a Core Formation cultivator like him feel a chill run down his spine.
But before triggering the restriction, Zhao Kun's divine sense still managed to capture a few blurry fragments.
That was the scene where Yu Xuanfeng issued the bounty...
However, the identity and appearance of the person who will take on the bounty remain completely unknown, with no information available whatsoever.
Zhao Kun remained silent for a long time, then sighed, "Xun'er..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air in front of him distorted, and a calm-looking boy's phantom appeared out of thin air.
The phantom was not a physical entity, but seemed to be a cultivator of the ghost path. It bowed respectfully to Zhao Kun and said, "Disciple is here."
Zhao Kun stared at Yu Xuanfeng's corpse and said in a deep voice, "From now on, you are Yu Xuanfeng."
"I must integrate into this body and secretly investigate the truth behind the arena battle that day, and more importantly, find the person who accepted the bounty!"
"Yes, Master!" The illusory figure of the young man answered without hesitation, bowing in response.
Immediately, the phantom transformed into a beam of light and entered Yu Xuanfeng's brow.
A moment later, Yu Xuanfeng stiffly moved his neck, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
……
Time flies, and several months pass in the blink of an eye.
In a corner of a bustling area of Qinglan City, the signboard of Ling Shan Restaurant has been hung up, and it is packed with guests every day.
The scene of people craving seats is exactly the same as that of the old shops in Wutan City.
Little Gold was busy in the inner courtyard. As the spatula flew, an invisible force of will continuously flowed into its spirit.
After so long, Xiao Jin finally gathered enough willpower and successfully awakened his first supernatural ability...
[Slaying Demons and Cooking Monsters].
Its effect is to double the damage dealt to both demon and monster targets, and there is a chance to obtain special ingredients after successfully killing them.
(The quality of ingredients is related to the target's strength and lineage.)
Chen Xu, who was entrenched in the sea of consciousness of the Misty Pool City, received the information and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
Chen Xu was also very curious about what kind of ingredients Xiao Jin would drop if it killed a demonic cultivator.
It's a pity that I haven't had the chance to find a suitable opportunity to try it out.
Now that Chen Xu's cultivation has reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, almost all of his cultivation techniques have hit a bottleneck.
The gray-haired clone's "Pingnan Taiyi Spear Technique" has been stuck at the minor completion stage, making further progress difficult.
Chen Xu guessed that he would probably have to form his core after breaking through the second level of the "Mysterious Bone True Demon Art".
However, both of these techniques have been enhanced by the [Masterpiece Upgrader].
However, its effects...
Because it requires a large amount of high-level materials, Chen Xu is currently unable to search for them at his current cultivation level.
In addition to this, the mysterious jade slip also received an upgrade to the masterpiece.
Chen Xu named it the Mysterious Jade Slip, and now the space of the Mysterious Jade Slip has been enhanced.
It can now perfectly condense phantoms related to Hextech.
Both the Xuanhuang Cauldron and the upgraded phantom of the Primordial Saint Spear can be perfectly condensed.
Chen Xu pondered that it was time to use the [Masterpiece Upgrader] that would drop later to enhance Xiao Jin and the others.
And that gray-haired clone, I wonder if it could also be upgraded using the [Masterpiece Upgrader]...
