Chapter 844: Chapter 840: The Threshold

Chu Zhiyuan led the way at the front, with Lan Mingxuan and Wu Xun following closely behind.

The further Chu Zhiyuan went forward, the slower his speed became, and the lighter his aura.

By the time they were a hundred meters from the peak, his aura had completely vanished.

The two of them couldn’t even sense him right nearby.

This astonished them.

They quickly realized that if this Prince Consort was determined to flee, he could easily succeed.

Now they truly believed Chu Zhiyuan genuinely wanted to enter the Spirit Communication Pavilion.

Suddenly, Chu Zhiyuan waved a hand.

The two halted abruptly.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.

The two of them had already seen the Demon Clan experts hidden in the woods opposite.

A dozen men in gray robes were concealed within the woods, some lying across branches, some pressed against tree roots, and others lying in piles of dead grass.

Their positions were chaotic, scattered in all directions.

Yet their auras were all calm and restrained, not revealed outwardly.

It’s no wonder they couldn’t be detected from afar.

The gray robes they wore merged with the woods, making them hard to spot even with the naked eye.

In this way, it was indeed difficult to discover their presence.

They exchanged glances, their expressions serious.

Since when did the Demon Clan experts have such a skill for concealing their auras?

They’re almost on par with the Demon Clan now.

The Demon Clan is strong, domineering, and fearlessly aggressive. If they also possess the concealment skills of the Demon Clan, that would be even more terrifying.

Adding insult to injury, the Candle Nether Mirror posed a problem now.

The Phoenix Bloodline had just been activated, wasn’t it supposed to be under the favor of the Phoenix Dynasty? Why were there so many twists and troubles?

Chu Zhiyuan’s voice sounded in their ears: ”Gentlemen, please draw their attention temporarily; I’ll attack from the shadows.”

”How should we proceed?” Lan Mingxuan transmitted.

Chu Zhiyuan replied, ”You can launch a direct assault; there’s only one Venerable among them.”

Lan Mingxuan looked at Wu Xun, the two exchanged glances and slowly nodded: ”Alright, we’ll take the first move.”

Encountering the Demon Clan experts, as disciples of the Fengtian Palace, they naturally couldn’t let them go.

They were obliged and responsible to eradicate them to prevent them from harming innocent people.

These demon clans treat humans as cultivation resources, devouring their flesh and blood to strengthen themselves; their sins deserve punishment.

Two wisps of wind drifted into the woods, entering the midst of the Demon Clan experts.

Two masses of golden light suddenly appeared, then spread, transforming into two small suns, emitting golden light that shot out in all directions.

Under the illumination of the golden light, the Demon Clan experts were caught off guard and struck.

”Ambush!”

”Kill them!”

”My eyes!”

”Ah—!”

”Hiss—!”

...

Roars of anger, wails of pain, curses, and the sound of blood splattering filled the air, shattering the tranquility of the woods.

Leaves flew, branches and leaves disintegrated into powder under the golden light.

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

As expected of the Fengtian Palace, what impressive swordsmanship!

He stood on the treetop, a slight smile curling his lips.

It seemed Lan Mingxuan and Wu Xun intentionally showcased their skills to intimidate him.

He vanished in a flash.

The next moment, he appeared on the other side of the woods, then transformed into a phantom, flitting in and out of existence.

Every time he materialized, he struck down a Demon Clan expert, then disappeared.

Again he materialized behind another expert, striking their back before vanishing.

In a few such instances, of the sixteen Demon Clan experts, he had slain ten in the blink of an eye.

The first one he killed was a Venerable.

He finally discovered the profundity of his Heavenly Dragon Introduction, the true power of the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline manifested.

Previously, when Li Miaotan mentioned that the Phoenix Bloodline suppressed the Demon Clan, he was curious why the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline didn’t suppress them too.

Now he finally understood the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline’s restraint over the Demon Clan.

Demon Clan Venerables had abundant life force, making them difficult to kill.

But in the face of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm, one strike resolved the matter, shattering their Demon Crystal and absorbing it.

The Demon Crystal is the true weak point of the Demon Clan.

It is like a human’s forehead or Dantian; once solidly struck, it can be fatal.

However, the location of each Demon Clan’s Demon Crystal is not fixed and can move at will.

When human experts infuse their True Yuan into a Demon Clan expert’s body, it’s often blocked by Demon Essence, making it nearly impossible to locate the Demon Crystal.

The Demon Crystal is a weak point, but not the only one.

The Demon Clan is not immortal; destroying the head or heart leads to death too.

Human experts typically destroy these two parts to kill Demon Clan experts.

But Chu Zhiyuan killed them by shattering their Demon Crystals.

Shatter the Demon Crystal, absorb the Demon Crystal.

This is the magic of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm, as well as the wonder of the Heavenly Dragon Introduction.

He discovered that killing the Demon Clan now had become extremely simple.

Looking again at Lan Mingxuan and Wu Xun, their sword light was like the morning sun, emanating golden light in all directions.

The Demon Clan experts struggled to resist, but could not block the omnipresent golden light.

In the blink of an eye, sixteen people were all injured, but since no vital points were hit, they didn’t lose their combat strength.

Under the immense pressure they were facing, Chu Zhiyuan struck like a phantom, easily succeeding in his attack.

Almost in the blink of an eye, only six were left blocking the sword light.

They became increasingly incapable, their bodies riddled with several sword wounds, their grey robes stained with blood.

They desperately attacked with palms and fists while retreating, preparing to unleash Jade and Stone Burning.

At this point, there was no retreat, only hoping to use their bodies to take down the enemies before them.

The blood threads in their eyes quickly intensified.

Super Sense saw their changes clearly.

Chu Zhiyuan’s voice rang in their ears: ”Mr. Lan, Mr. Wu, move back, they’re about to use Jade and Stone Burning.”

Without hesitation, the two retreated.

Unexpectedly, two of the six suddenly accelerated, moving twice as fast as before.

They instantly caught up to Lan Mingxuan and Wu Xun, ”bang bang,” transforming into two clouds of red mist.

The red mist instantly enveloped Lan Mingxuan and Wu Xun.

The two hurriedly activated True Yuan to protect themselves, simultaneously activating their Protective Treasures.

Two light barriers emerged, blocking the intrusion of the red cloud.

”Pop pop!”

Scarlet red light burst forth again from the red mist.

The blood-red light enveloped them in an instant, and under this scarlet glow, the light barriers around them quickly disintegrated.

The red light penetrated their bodies.

”Ah—!”

”Humph!”

Lan Mingxuan screamed, Wu Xun grunted.

When the red light entered their bodies, it felt like scalding oil being poured, unbearable in its agony.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly, his form flickering ghost-like as he sent the four grey-robed middle-aged men preparing to rush over and use Jade and Stone Burning flying.

”Bang bang bang bang!”

He timed it perfectly; the four Demon Clan experts were just sent flying when they transformed into red mist in mid-air.

Chu Zhiyuan grabbed Lan Mingxuan and Wu Xun and retreated more than ten feet.

The two trembled, weak and unable, as if about to collapse at any moment.

Chu Zhiyuan supported them, setting them down by some roots.

They leaned against the roots, their chests heaving, panting like a bellows.

Their eyes were dim and dull.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: ”Gentlemen, are the injuries very serious?”

Lan Mingxuan smiled wryly, his face like it was pasted with gold leaf: ”It’s poison.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Is there any life-saving Spirit Pill?”

How could a Fengtian Palace expert be without Spirit Pills?

”There’s a bottle of Reverse Returning Pill on my chest.” Lan Mingxuan said, ”Could I trouble Prince Consort to help me take it?”

Chu Zhiyuan reached into his bosom, took out a small Jade Bottle, opened it to find two Red Pills, giving one to each of them.

Their complexions swiftly improved.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: ”Indeed, a Spirit Pill.”

Lan Mingxuan smiled wryly: ”Prince Consort, if you want to escape, you can leave now.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled: ”Why would I leave? ... Don’t worry, the news won’t spread.”

If the news of trouble with the Candle Nether Mirror spread, it wouldn’t benefit him at all.

If the Jade Dynasty knew, it would indeed be beneficial to spread it, making the Demon Clan and the Demon Clan eager to come.

Then depleting the power of the Phoenix Dynasty.

But Chu Zhiyuan did not desire this.

Wu Xun said: ”Prince Consort, we judged you with the heart of a petty man, truly sorry.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”Mr. Wu, there’s no need to be so cautious, I’d like to continue being this Prince Consort, not thinking of returning to the Jade Dynasty.”

Wu Xun’s words were likely to appease him, avoiding him taking desperate measures by killing them and leaving the Phoenix Dynasty.

Wu Xun shook his head: ”We actually know much about you, Prince Consort.”

Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow.

Wu Xun said: ”We know about the Prince Consort’s relationship with your esteemed father, and we know you won’t return to the Jade.”

Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded.

Wu Xun said: ”If the Prince Consort wants to gain something in the Spirit Communication Pavilion, there is indeed a condition.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”What condition?”

Wu Xun looked at Lan Mingxuan.

Lan Mingxuan sighed, slowly nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan became more interested: ”Can’t say?”

No wonder they were certain there would be no returns, turns out there was this iron threshold.
