Buzz!
A wave of power caught Chen Xi's attention in the dark. He raised his head and swept away with his spiritual consciousness. He quickly understood everything. It was the wave of the Qiankun Shifting Talisman, and Jiang Xun and others also disappeared.
Chen Xi couldn't help but have a hint of sarcasm on his lips. Will the assassins of Black Sun Tower escape?
From the time he entered Fire Crow Town to the hard battle in this dark forest, his whole person was in a tense state. Under the stimulation of various crises, his state of mind, cultivation, and actual combat strength were all improved. A leap in improvement.
Just before Jiang Xun and his group appeared, his Qi refining cultivation had once again made a breakthrough, reaching the late stage of the Golden elixir, and his body refining cultivation had also reached the middle stage of the Golden elixir. It can be said to be a rapid improvement, rising steadily.
Compared with his own cultivation, his improvement in the realm of enlightenment is undoubtedly the most significant.
The power of the five elements, yin and yang, stars, thunder, wind, sky... and even the other side and sinking have also been greatly improved.
According to the division of the four realms of Taoism and the twelve layers of the Taoist realm, the five elements, yin and yang, wind, and sky, which he has mastered long ago, have all reached the seventh level of the Xiaocheng realm.
This is inseparable from the practice of the "Manzang Sword Code". You must know that the eight major sword styles of the Manzang Sword Code contain eight avenues, including the five elements, covering yin and yang, Xun and Qian. The two sword ways represent the sky and the wind. Chen Xi often uses this Dao intention to fight, and his understanding of the Dao intention naturally increases with each passing day.
The two Taoist meanings of stars and thunder have grown extremely slowly, but now they have reached the sixth level of Xiaocheng realm. This is also inseparable from practicing the "Sky Star Slaughter Body Training Technique" and the day and night participation in the statue of Fuxi. Enlightenment.
The two Taoist meanings of the other shore and sinking are extremely mysterious and unpredictable. Chen Xi almost never pays attention to them in daily life. However, these two Taoist intentions are growing at a slow momentum all the time, and now they have reached the fifth level. It is only one step away from the Taoist realm of the first level to reach the level of Xiaocheng. It is an incredible improvement.
However, according to Chen Xi's analysis, the two Taoist meanings of the other side and sinking involve mysterious powers such as extradition and suppression. Perhaps when he was killing his enemies, he witnessed all kinds of life and death, and unconsciously had feelings for the two Taoist meanings of the other side and sinking. That's why he has risen to this level without realizing it.
All in all, it is undoubtedly a happy event that the power of Dao has been significantly improved in all aspects. In the past, he could only use the power of the sword to display the attack power of "Tao's Intent Transformation", but now, he does not need to rely on the sword at all. , the Taoist martial arts displayed are enough to reach such a level.
It is precisely because of his cultivation and the rapid improvement of his Taoist realm that Chen Xi's combat power has skyrocketed. Now, let alone these Black Rilou assassins, he is confident of defeating Qing Xiuyi, who is the reincarnation of an immortal!
The disastrous defeat and escape of Jiang Xun and others at this moment undoubtedly proved this point.
After so many days of repeated sniping, the anger in Chen Xi's heart had also dissipated a lot. He could vaguely guess that after this battle, Hei Rilou would not dare to attack him again unless he sent someone to cultivate in the Golden Core Realm. Assassin on.
However, based on his understanding of those old monsters, they probably would not dare to entrust Hei Rilou to do this, otherwise they would be bullying the small ones and completely offend the Bauhinia Bai family.
Just to take a step back, if these old monsters really risk offending the Zijin Bai family to kill themselves, they can just do it themselves. Why spend a lot of money to hire assassins from Hei Rilou?
After confirming this, Chen Xi was no longer afraid of the threat from the Black Sun Tower.
He calculated the time and found that there was less than a year left before the Star Conference. And if he wanted to get to Splendid City from now on, he had to pass through the Evil Stone Beach, the Land of Blood Spirits, the Ice Demon Cave... and other dangerous dangers.
You can't reach Jinxiu City until you pass through Leicheng City.
After thinking about it, Chen Xi no longer lingered, turned around and disappeared into the forest.

Three days later.
The news was sent back to Black Sun Tower. Cui Shan, who was called the Seventh Leader by Jiang Xun, fell into silence for a long time after learning about it. He didn't know how long it was before he suddenly broke into laughter and shook his head.
"Master, why are you laughing?" Next to him, a very handsome boy about 6 years old, wearing a gold collar, asked.
"I laugh at the stupidity of these people. The failure of the assassination is nothing. They are stupid because they know that the target is invincible, but they have the idea of betraying Hei Rilou. Their heart is to be punished!" Cui Shan sighed softly.
The boy's big eyes turned darkly, and he said with a smile: "Why do I feel that you are not angry? Even after hearing the news, you feel much more relaxed?"
Cui Shan did not deny it, nodded and said: "Yes, after much thought, I decided to let that Chen Xi live. Moreover, I accidentally learned a huge secret from Mrs. Shui Hua in Tianbao Tower a few days ago.
This secret made me decide that I would rather admit that the assassination failed than attack Chen Xi again."
The boy was surprised and asked: "What secret?"
Cui Shan avoided talking and just smiled, looking a little enigmatic.
"Then if you do this, I'm afraid Chen Xi won't appreciate it. Maybe he will still hold a grudge against you because of the previous assassination." The boy chuckled and stopped asking what the "secret" was.
"Every gain must come with a loss, so it doesn't matter if you hold a grudge. By the time he wants to take revenge on Hei Ri Tower, I'm afraid I will have long since retired to practice cultivation. By then, the entire Hei Ri Tower force will have been completely destroyed by him.
What does it have to do with me?"
Cui Shan was silent for a long time, and then said in deep thought: "However, we can ignore Chen Xi's matter for the time being, but Jiang Xun and others must be captured and executed with capital punishment. The rules in the building cannot be broken just now."
A hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed through the boy's clear eyes. He nodded solemnly and said, "Master, don't worry, I know what to do."
Cui Shan nodded and suddenly warned: "Chisong, don't mess with that Chen Xi, otherwise I won't blame my master for expelling you!"
Chisong was startled and said with an unnatural expression: "Master, don't worry, my disciple will never do this."
Cui Shan took a deep look at Chi Song and said calmly: "Others don't know you, but I watched you grow up as a teacher, so how can I not understand your thoughts? You are a brat, and your qualifications are much higher than most geniuses in the world.
, but being too scheming will affect your path."
Chisong's smile was a little stiff and he said, "Why can't my disciple understand what the master said?"
Cui Shan snorted coldly, his eyes flashed with lightning, and he said solemnly: "You understand what I mean, I will not stop you from helping Qiangwei to avenge you, but not now!"
Chisong's body suddenly stiffened, his hands clenched unconsciously, and a flash of extreme hatred emerged from his eyes. After a long time, he said bitterly: "Master, when can the disciple take action?
"
Cui Shan replied calmly: "After the Star Conference, if Chen Xi does not have the opportunity to enter the ancient battlefield, it is up to you."
Chisong asked: "What if he got in by luck?"
Cui Shan was silent for a long time, then waved his hand and said, "In that case, it's up to you to do whatever you want."
Chisong nodded, asked no more questions, turned and left.
"If Chen Xi can enter the ancient battlefield, no one in the world can stop him from moving forward. How can you help Qiangwei take revenge..." Cui Shan couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart as he looked at Chi Song's leaving figure.

Prince Rui's Mansion, in that fairy-filled space.
The housekeeper was lying on the ground, sweat dripping from his forehead, and he wanted to bury his head in the cracks in the ground. The atmosphere was very condensed, as if every inch of the air was filled with boundless anger and murderous intent, suppressing his breath.
They all found it difficult.
The reason is very simple. Just now, news came from Hei Ri Tower that the assassination operation against Chen Xi had been cancelled. According to the agreement, Hei Ri Tower repaid double the price, which was considered a settlement.
But for all the Earthly Immortal Realm powerhouses here, this result is absolutely unacceptable to them. How can a plan that has been worked out with so much effort and cost be canceled just by saying it has been cancelled?
Every old monster's face was as gloomy as water, with silent resentment and anger, making everything in this space seem to be frozen.
"Damn Black Sun Tower, it's obvious that you don't care about us. We must uproot it and drive it out of the Chu Dynasty!" After a long time, an old monster suddenly shouted loudly, the sound was like thunder, and it shocked the people.
The housekeeper almost lost his mind and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Yes! Hei Rilou must be punished, otherwise how can we lose face?"
"Hmph, if the mission is cancelled, it will be cancelled. Hei Rilou has gone back on his word and is capricious. He really deserves to be taught a lesson!"
"What a bunch of losers. They can't even kill a small ant in the Golden Core Realm. I don't think this Black Sun Tower will have to survive in the Great Chu Dynasty!"
A kind of old monster couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and kept making noises.
Only Prince Rui, Huangfu Jingtian, did not speak. Compared with the undisguised expressions of anger on the faces of other old monsters, Huangfu Jingtian's face looked extremely strange, seeming depressed, calm, resentful, and frightened...
To name a few.
Soon, everyone noticed the strangeness of Huangfu Jingtian, they all stopped talking and looked up.
Huangfu Jingtian took a deep breath, as if he had just woken up from deep thought, and said expressionlessly: "Everyone, according to the previous agreement, the grievances between us and Chen Xi can only be cancelled."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and couldn't believe it, so they just gave up? The previous agreement was just a joke, how could it be taken seriously?
Huangfu Jingtian's eyes swept across everyone, his eyes were cold, and his expression showed no emotion. He said calmly: "This is what my brother personally ordered. Do you have any objections?"
The only person who can be called such by Huangfu Jingtian is...the current Emperor of Chu!?
Everyone's pupils shrank suddenly, but their hearts fell to the bottom in an instant. Even the current Emperor Chu knew about this and forced himself to intervene to stop it. What else could they say?
Because this is the Chu Dynasty!
This is the world of the Huangfu family!
No matter how high their cultivation level is, they would not dare to disobey the current Chu Emperor's orders.
All the old monsters understand that from this moment on, if they want to snatch the treasures from Chen Xi, they will undoubtedly be against the current Chu Emperor and the entire Chu Dynasty. They cannot afford this consequence, and neither can the forces behind them.
