Eternal vanity
Chapter 22
Ye Jin rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction. "Are you satisfied now?"
Bai Chen, who was wearing a mask, smiled seriously and said, "I'm satisfied. I'm very satisfied.
Hehehe … "
The so-called Soul Locking Pill was similar to the Soul Devouring Parasitic Poison that Yun Qingxiao was inflicted with. However, the Soul Devouring Parasitic Poison was completely controlled by the person who inflicted it, while the Soul Locking Pill only had a restraining effect. In other words, if Ye Jin had any intention of killing Bai Chen, he would suffer a fate worse than death.
Not only that, but Bai Chen could kill him immediately with a single thought. He could also give up the restraints on him with a single thought.
"Alright, alright. Stop sighing over there. Great Young Master Ye, for the next month, I'll support you together!"
Bai Cheng held the back of his head with a blade of grass in his mouth. He strode forward leisurely. Ye Jin hurriedly followed him.
"Are you really Yun Qingxiao?"
Ye Jin did not seem to care about what had just happened. His long and narrow eyes stared at Bai Chen.
Bai Chen still looked indifferent and lazy. His eyes were peaceful. He grinned and spat out the blade of grass in his mouth. He said, "What else?
Do you take me for a fool like Yun Qingchen? "
Ye Jin smiled.
"Second Young Master, we've already chased for ten miles. We haven't seen a single hair of Ye Jin along the way …" In the distance, Divine Seat Pang said doubtfully.
"Oh no!
We've fallen into that person's trap!
That person is definitely not Yun Qingxiao!
Yun Qingxiao would definitely not protect Ye Jin. He has always been cold. How could he help Ye Jin escape! "Yun Qingchen was stunned. He suddenly realized something and gritted his teeth as he cursed.
"F * ck!"
"Then let's go back quickly!" As they spoke, the three Divine Seats were filled with killing intent. They were about to leave.
Three high-ranking Divine Seats were being toyed with by a brat who was still wet behind the ears. How could they not be angry?
"Forget it. How can that person wait in the same place?
We'll put aside the matter of killing Ye Jin for now. We'll do it again when we have the chance … "Yun Qingchen's gloomy face was filled with ruthless determination.
Whether you are Yun Qingxiao or not, I, Yun Qingchen, will cut you into a thousand pieces!
In the forest, Bai Chen could not help but shudder.
Tsk tsk tsk … The sun is shining so brightly … Why do I feel a chill from behind …
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Jin, who had followed behind her, was puzzled. Yun Da Zhi Mo's behavior was indeed unpredictable.
Bai Chen straightened his robe and said calmly and elegantly, "It's nothing.
Right, why is Yun Qingchen chasing after you?
You even brought three Divine Thrones with you. Could it be that you have some valuable treasure on you? "
"Or … did that pervert take a fancy to your beauty?"
Bai Chen stared at his cold and handsome face and teased him.
Ye Jin felt a chill run down his spine and goosebumps rose all over his body. "Brother Yun, don't joke around. I have indeed obtained a treasure. I believe that Brother Yun is a man of his word. I won't hide anything from you."
"Oh?" Bai Chen narrowed his eyes and did not stop walking. However, he was asking about Yun Qingxiao in his heart.
"I've been observing him for a long time, but I don't see him being affected by gravity at all …"
Yun Qingxiao said disdainfully, "Nonsense. How can my body be compared to this martial arts prodigy?"
“.....”
Ye Jin's expression was solemn as he closed his eyes.
After a short while, Bai Chen leaned against a tree trunk in boredom. However, his Divine Sense did not relax at all. If someone were to come, one of them would be a weakling without any martial arts skills, while the other was a young master who had yet to recover from his serious injuries. They would be killed in a matter of minutes.
Just as Bai Chen was letting his imagination run wild, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Ye Jin's body. It was as cold and violent as a Devil God from the Ninth Heaven. It exuded an unparalleled domineering aura that was full of vengeance.
The cold young man's aura suddenly became cruel and bloodthirsty. His pair of bright red eyes flashed with brutal killing intent. The area he was in was quickly sucked dry of life, turning the ground into a withered, yellow, and gray mess.
It was as terrifying as a Devil Lord who slaughtered all living things. Bai Chen instinctively put his entire body on alert and defense. Yun Qingxiao also sensed this cold and suffocating killing intent. His powerful Divine Sense spread out and targeted Ye Jin.
Ye Jin suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Chen with a pair of dazzling eyes. "Brother Yun, this is the treasure."
As he raised his hand, waves of thick Blood Qi condensed. A three-foot-long dark red sword appeared in Ye Jin's hand. When the sword appeared, the Blood Qi on Ye Jin's body became even stronger.
Bai Chen's eyebrows twitched. 'Why is there such a big contrast between before and after … F * ck … they're not the same person …'
After confirming that the person in front of him did not have any killing intent, he began to carefully examine the sword. The blade of the sword was dark red, as if it had dried up blood. It was not as dazzling as other supreme grade treasured swords. The blade of the sword seemed to have gone through some kind of tragic battle, as it was uneven all over. It was simply a broken sword.
However, such a broken sword was covered with exquisite turtle-shaped patterns. It had an astonishing and terrifying aura that made people feel intimidated.
Ye Jin controlled and suppressed the Blood Qi that filled the air. The broken sword seemed to have a mind of its own. It buzzed twice and stopped moving.
Without the soaring Blood Qi, the sword instantly became incomparably demonic and broken. A red light flashed from time to time.
"It's not that useful, other than its aura being a little stronger."
After withdrawing his defense, Bai Chen grabbed the demon sword from Ye Jin's hand and tried to slash at a rock. The sword was fine, and so was the rock. Instead, Bai Chen's arm went numb from the impact.
Bai Chen was depressed. "What kind of sword is this?
One of the Nine Great Treasures of the Mystic Realm?
It's not even as good as a kitchen knife. "
Indeed, even a kitchen knife could leave a mark on a rock. However, this so-called Nine Great Treasures of the Ancient Era did not leave a single mark on it.
Ye Jin was embarrassed. The treasure that he had risked his life to obtain could only scare people with its aura. It could not even cut vegetables.
"Does it have a name?"
"I don't know."
"How did you get it?"
"I snatched it from someone else and ran away."
“.....”
Bai Chen's face darkened. This idiot. He ran away with something that he did not know anything about. After being chased to this extent, he actually survived. It was a miracle …
Bai Chen threw the sword back to Ye Jin. "Don't you use your brain to think?
Think about the pros and cons of this thing. "
Ye Jin scratched his head and chuckled. "I don't know. Anyway, when I saw it for the first time, it resonated with me. I have a feeling that if I miss this opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Bai Chen did not say anything else. Instead, he turned to Yun Qingxiao and asked, "Have you seen this sword before?"
"This sword … looks very familiar. I can't remember it at the moment. However, one thing is certain. Ye Jin did not tell you about the true treasure on him," Yun Qingxiao said with a mysterious smile.
Bai Chen did not seem to mind. "Whatever. This is normal. If it were me, why would I tell such a secret to someone who has nothing to do with me?"
"You can confide in me like this.
There are not many amazing men in this world who value relationships as much as you. "Bai Chen felt lost.
"Awoo ~ ~ ~"
Suddenly, a shrill wolf howl came from afar. Then, a mighty stampede rushed toward Bai Chen and the others.
Then, the howls and howls of various wild beasts came from all directions.
"Oh no!
We are in the gathering place of the strange beasts!
That must be the Frenzy Night Wolf King's command!
It's over, it's over. The commotion just now was too big. They must have mistaken us for intruders … "Ye Jin scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.
Bai Chen rolled his eyes and ran in the opposite direction. Ye Jin did not have time to complain and quickly followed.
Bai Chen roared in his heart, "Yun Qingxiao!
With your divine sense, it's impossible that you did not detect this strange beast! "
Yun Qingxiao thought for a moment and shrugged helplessly. "Oh, you're talking about this … Of course, I detected it."
Bai Chen was even more furious. "Then why didn't you tell me?!"
"Ah … This … I forgot."
"F * ck!"
Then, he stopped talking and ran wildly while burning his source power.
Yun Qingxiao retreated back to the corner of his mind. His lips curled into a perfect arc, which did not match his cold personality at all.
"This is your First Tribulation of the Heavenly Axiom … As your guide, how could I let you miss it?
Haha … "
Little did he know that the stone that Bai Chen used the broken sword to slash suddenly decayed and turned into a pool of dark red liquid. The ground within a meter of it was also decayed, making "puchi puchi" sounds. It was extremely horrifying.
A strange beast that was running wildly had just stepped onto the ground that had been dyed dark red. It screamed and was instantly corroded, turning into a pool of dark red blood that slowly seeped into the surroundings.
All kinds of strange beasts screamed and ran away from the red blood, not daring to get close.
Bai Chen and Ye Jin were completely unaware of everything that had happened here.
Strange beasts, also known as source beasts, were a very special existence in the Nine Gods Continent. It was said that there was a faint trace of constellation power hidden in their bloodline. Whether it was their skin, hair, blood, or bones, they were all extremely precious and had various values. They were often used as important materials for refining pills and weapons.
Strange beasts were also divided into stages. Each stage was divided into ten stages, and the higher they were, the more terrifying they were.
However, did you think that strange beasts were easy to capture?
A low-level strange beast required three to five mid-level God Tier Masters to work together to capture, let alone the strange beast tide that Bai Chen had attracted.
It could also be said that a Dark Level Frenzy Night Wolf King could kill a low-level God Tier Master with one claw.
One could only imagine how terrifying it was.
However, Bai Chen and Ye Jin were unlucky enough to attract all the tribes that had lived in the Secret Realm for hundreds of years.
Bai Chen wanted to cry but had no tears. Why was his luck so bad that he had encountered something that had a one in ten thousand chance of happening?
'Damn that Ye Jin!'
Bai Chen cursed in his heart.
Yun Qingxiao's voice rang in Bai Chen's mind with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Great Sword Venerable Bai, I have two pieces of news now. One is good news, and the other is bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?
Hehe … "
Bai Chen gritted his teeth. He felt that his physical strength was almost at its limit. He forced himself to run forward. The sound of the earth shaking behind him was endless. The huge beast tide stirred up waves of sand and stones, mixed with all kinds of sharp howls and roars.
At this moment, Bai Chen was not in the mood to joke with Yun Qingxiao. He was fully focused on running. "Cut the crap, tell me quickly!"
"Hehe, the bad news is that there are three Dark Level Beasts, ten Earth Level Beasts, and countless Yellow Level Beasts in the beast tide."
Bai Chen's heart trembled, and he groaned inwardly.
"However, the good news is that the gathering place of the Zhou Clan of the Nine Constellation Clans is right in front of us." Yun Qingxiao's face was bright.
A hint of joy appeared on Bai Chen's face as well. Sweat dripped from his forehead.
