Chapter 704 - 275: Sensation and Reactions from All Sides (Part 2)

Chapter 704: Chapter 275: Sensation and Reactions from All Sides (Part 2)

Indeed.

In the Cultivation Realm, there is no shortage of those who engage in Reversal Immortal Slaying, where Low-Tier Cultivators reverse slash High-Tier Cultivators.

The elite disciples and true disciples of various major sects have had one or two achievements of overcoming the strong with the weak.

But to cross such a gap of two or three layers, three or four realms, and reverse slash a strong opponent, especially when facing multiple cultivators with higher realms, and to not only fight but also win and strike down the formidable enemies, they’ve heard of such a feat being accomplished only by one individual.

And that would be several months ago, also occurring in the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, the individual known as Ascendant Feng Hua, Zhou Changwang.

And in the entire Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, it’s not just them who have had such speculations.

Almost most of the cultivators who have heard of this matter faintly felt that the person who did this must be the mysteriously disappeared Ascendant Feng Hua, Zhou Changwang, from months ago.

Moreover, the most convincing evidence is what they learned from a cultivator, that the mysterious cultivator who killed Ye Hongyi not only acted alone but also used several Spirit Talismans, from which were summoned several terrifying existences.

The reason he was able to so swiftly kill Ye Hongyi and the other cultivators was largely due to those terrifying entities that were summoned.

This inevitably led them to make connections in their minds.

After all, what Ascendant Feng Hua was most known for was precisely those Summoning Talismans.

And wouldn’t these very details again confirm that the one who acted was indeed Ascendant Feng Hua?

...

"Was it him?"

In one of the mansions within Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, Chen Xiao’Er couldn’t help but ask.

"It should be him."

Opposite her was the Foundation Establishment Beauty, Feng Xue.

Nodding affirmatively, she continued, "You didn’t go to the Black Market yesterday, so you don’t know.

That very night, a cultivator came to find me.

He handed me a batch of Spirit Talismans and then took a Blood Contract from me."

"Blood Contract?"

Chen Xiao’Er was startled and immediately stood up, inquiring, "Could it be the one for the million-order?"

"Exactly!

The Spirit Talismans he provided were all Summoning Talismans.

Although the number of Low-Tier Summoning Talismans wasn’t sufficient, as compensation, he also provided many more advanced Summoning Talismans.

In terms of value, they far exceeded a million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

So, I had no reason to continue holding onto that Blood Contract."

As she spoke, a trace of frustration appeared on her face.

At the time, she had actually considered keeping the Blood Contract.

However, she was deterred by his power and combat ability.

After all, Ascendant Feng Hua, Zhou Changwang had previously, with just First-Layer Foundation Establishment strength, managed to kill two Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivators and a First-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator, escaping the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.

Had she truly kept it, she would have feared him coming after her.

By then, it would have been difficult to end the matter.

In hindsight, her decision was proved correct.

His growth in strength far exceeded her expectations.

Currently, he’s only at the Second-Layer Foundation Establishment.

Yet his combat power has doubled compared to when he was at the First-Layer Foundation Establishment.

He’s now capable of dispatching three formidable individuals, each with strength above the Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment.

"I knew he would come.

However, I didn’t expect it to be in this manner."

Chen Xiao’Er’s eyes shone brightly upon hearing this.

"However.

The trouble he’s caused this time isn’t minor.

Ye Hongyi is not just any person.

He’s not only a direct descendant of the Ye family in the Celestial River Domain but also the most beloved grandson of the Ninth-Layer Core Formation ancestor in the Celestial River Domain.

With his fall here, it’s likely that soon, the Ye family in the Celestial River Domain will respond, surely sending people to investigate, and take the opportunity to seek revenge.

In terms of strength, the Ye family in the Celestial River Domain is not much weaker than our Qingyuan Sect in the Li Fire Domain.

The Ye family ancestor is a Ninth-Layer Core Formation cultivator, with the potential to form a Profound Infant within a century.

If he speaks, even the Sect Leader of our Li Fire Domain Qingyuan Sect would have to give him some respect.

By then, Ascendant Feng Hua’s days will not be easy.

At least, hiding like before will be almost impossible.

The influence of the Ye family is not something that can be matched by the Market Master of our marketplace.

In the Cultivation Realm, some methods can indeed track down his whereabouts."

Feng Xue’s face was also full of solemnity as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao’Er’s face stiffened, and she hurriedly asked, "Is there no way?"

"Of course, there is.

As long as he is willing to join a sect and secure the protection of a powerful individual, he can naturally be safe and sound."

Feng Xue replied.

...

"I’m afraid.

He wouldn’t be willing to arbitrarily join any sect."

In another courtyard, Shen Xinyue had already successfully emerged from her retreat, and upon coming out, she heard about the fall of Ye Hongyi.

While relieved, she was also very worried.

"Unfortunately, we can’t contact him now.

Otherwise, persuading him to join our Shuiyun Immortal Sect would be a good option."

On the other side, Wu Feiyue also couldn’t help but speak up.

She also hadn’t expected someone as talented as Ascendant Feng Hua to emerge from the small Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.

With Second-Layer Foundation Establishment strength, he engaged in Reversal Immortal Slaying, sword-slashing two Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivators and one Fourth-Layer Body Cultivator at Foundation Establishment.

The key point is that Ye Hongyi was not an unknown figure.

In the Celestial River Domain, he was considered a formidable young genius, his strength superior to that of ordinary cultivators of the same realm.

Yet he fell at the hands of Feng Hua, Zhou Changwang.

This stunned her immensely.

It also left her, who prided herself on her talent, feeling a sense of defeat.

Of course, she also harbored a desire to form a friendship and even considered inviting him to join her Shuiyun Immortal Sect.

"For this matter, only Xinyue can step in.

I reckon that his actions this time were to help you, Xinyue.

If you are the one to persuade him, the likelihood of him joining our Shuiyun Immortal Sect is considerable.

If not, the Ye family in the Celestial River Domain is no ordinary force, and as a Loose Cultivator, even with extraordinary talent and potential, it’s tough to contend with the strong ones of the Ye family.

The Ye family doesn’t even need to actively pursue him; just a rumor could prompt some cultivators in their sway to target him in allegiance."

Beside her, Bai Binglu chimed in, speaking earnestly with an intent to recruit.

Of course, the premise was that Shen Xinyue could establish contact with him. Only then could they proceed with persuading him.

"I can’t be sure of his intentions.

Previously, I have tried to recruit him several times, but he rejected every attempt.

I suppose, given his nature, he won’t easily be swayed to join our Shuiyun Immortal Sect just because of the Ye family’s threat.

At least, my influence isn’t enough."

So spoke Shen Xinyue, shaking her head.

"Your influence isn’t enough?

Then who would have enough sway?"

Wu Feiyue curiously asked.

"Qian Xiaoyue.

If Xiaoyue were to persuade him, it might be feasible."

Saying this, Shen Xinyue shook her head again.

Currently, Qian Xiaoyue was far away at the mountain gate of the Shuiyun Immortal Sect in the Southern Territory, making it impossible for her to perform the persuasion.

As for herself... she had indeed considered using a Communication Token to contact him, but after some thought, she put it aside.

Firstly, her own situation was not entirely secure.

Now that Ye Hongyi had fallen, if Ye Yanshu tried to trace down to him, she would be an obvious target for a breakthrough, making her truly afraid of having too much contact with him.

If this led to Zhou Changwang’s exposure, she would regret it immensely.

Secondly, she also had faith in Zhou Changwang’s capabilities.

If necessary, he would definitely reach out to her first.

Therefore, she didn’t say much more, only using her recent breakthrough and the need for secluded cultivation to stabilize her realm as an excuse to retreat back to her Cultivation Secret Room.

"Ascendant Feng Hua, Zhou Changwang?

It seems necessary to ask Yanhua Master to take action."

In the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, within the Market Master’s Mansion.

Ye Yanshu’s face was sullen, and his eyes revealed a vicious glint.
