Chapter 36

Oh, You Are Finally Awake?

“Not on your life—”

Inside the translucent illusory small spiritual light bell, the old voice also roared, “Chao Haisheng! No matter whether you’re dead or alive, this is no longer your era!”

“Since you’re already dead, you should just go back to your coffin!”

Clang—

Clang—

Invisible bell waves spread out like a tide, making one high tone and one low tone, instantly sounding throughout the huge Thousand Autumn Valley.

One by one, the disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley were alarmed. Some of them woke up from their cultivation state, some walked out of their residences, and some looked into the distance. Their gazes swept towards the same spot and focused on the deepest part of the Thousand Autumn Valley.

“This sound is… the Thousand Autumn Bell?!” In the Zhenmu Courtyard, First Elder Lei Shao suddenly stood up and his expression changed drastically. “What happened? Why did the Thousand Autumn Bell suddenly chime?”

“Is the Thousand Autumn Bell’s chime at this moment a turn of fate, or is it the final chime?”

In a corner of the Thousand Autumn Valley, the peaks were green and the rocks were jagged. In a remote cabin, a white-haired old man slowly woke up. His eyes flashed like lightning as he looked into the distance towards the source of the bell chime.

The old man slowly stood up. A Dao Platform shadow flashed behind his head and a powerful aura burst from his body. He glanced at the sky, then rose up and tore through the air, headed straight for the Thousand Autumn Bell!

“The people from the royal family… finally can’t hold back anymore?”

The melodious bell chime rose and fell, as if it held endless longing and felt strong emotions. It echoed in Feng Xia’s ears.

Swish, swish, swish—

For the first time, Feng Xia’s divine power encountered a strong obstruction. It was blocked by rings of bell waves and could not advance any further!

Mixed in with the bell chime was a triumphant laugh.

“Are you surprised? Are you astonished?”

“Do you really want to know… why can I easily activate the treasure you made?”

Feng Xia’s expression turned uncharacteristically solemn.

As the other party was not here in person, he could not determine the enemy’s true strength. However, based on the various signs that he could see, the other party’s cultivation had definitely reached the Dao Platform Realm.

This was the first time Feng Xia had encountered a true Dao Platform Realm divine being since leaving the Ancient Forsaken Land!

Fortunately, the enemy was not here in person and his control over the battle was limited. Otherwise, Feng Xia really did not think that he could defeat a true Dao Platform Realm expert on his own.

Then again, if the enemy was here in person, it would probably take him less than a second to discover that he was an impostor…

“I don’t want to know. What’s wrong?” Feng Xia said solemnly.

“Let me tell you the truth… eh?”

The voice suddenly choked. “Don’t … don’t want to know?”

“Will you get lost if I say I want to know?” Feng Xia said matter-of-factly. He quietly moved two steps and shielded Zhu Youniang behind him. “Otherwise, why should I cause trouble for myself?”

Moreover, this would also turn around and cause trouble for the enemy.

Does it make you angry?

“You … Well done! Well done!”

The voice choked again and finally sneered coldly. “Chao Haisheng, whether you’ve really come back to life or not, I can feel that your current strength is far inferior to when you were at your peak!”

“As long as I kill you, the plan can still proceed without any hindrance!”

Clang—

The moment he finished speaking.

Apart from the highest small spiritual light bell, the remaining seven also began to vibrate. The bell chime remained melodious, but it was filled with endless killing intent, as if a destructive bell wave was about to descend!

“Liu Chuanyuan!”

At the critical moment, Feng Xia suddenly shouted.

Liu Chuanyuan replied subconsciously, “Brother… Ah—”

Feng Xia’s gaze was solemn as he tried his best to maintain his defense. At the same time, he punched the back of Liu Chuanyuan’s head.

Liu Chuanyuan did not have any time to react before he was knocked unconscious by this punch.

“Huh? Chao Haisheng, Chao Haisheng… Have you lost your mind? You can even attack your own junior. Do you think you can escape death by doing this?”

The voice sounded even more mocking.

“Liu Chuanyuan, wake up!”

“Eh? Brother, what just happened… Ah—!!”

Liu Chuanyuan, who had just been awakened, suffered another heavy blow to the back of his neck and fainted on the spot.

“… ???”

As the mysterious expert watched the bizarre scene of his opponent knocking out his own ally in front of an enemy instead of thinking about how to deal with the enemy, he could not help but be stunned for a moment.

Could it be that the first Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley, Chao Haisheng… had accidentally damaged his head during the past 700 years?

While the mysterious expert was in a daze, Liu Chuanyuan was awakened three times in a row and then knocked unconscious three times.

“Ha… hahaha! The famous Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley… lived for 700 years, but has become a complete fool!”

“A fool is good… Let me end you now and save your reputation!”

“Have you finished your nonsense?”

At this moment, Feng Xia suddenly spoke. At the same time, he raised his hand and removed a long sword from Liu Chuanyuan’s belt. He unsheathed the sword and pointed it at the void above his head.

“If you’re done… then I’ll send you on your way!”

Swish, swish, swish—

Right at that moment.

“Ah—what is this?!”

That voice let out a terrified scream. In his perception, both Feng Xia and Liu Chuanyuan’s figures had disappeared. The world had turned white and only countless sword lights were shuttling back and forth!

The entire world seemed to have become a prison, a cage made of sword light.

The young man, who seemed to be the first Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley, was the absolute ruler of this cage. With just a thought from him, sword light erupted and pierced through the small bells!

The small bells were rather special. Even Feng Xia’s sword light could not injure them at all.

However, the consciousness that controlled these small bells was not so lucky. In the blink of an eye, it was completely minced by the whistling sword light!

“The Sword-Heart understands you perfectly huh?”

Feng Xia let out a long breath and the sword in his hand suddenly exploded inch by inch. However, the smile on his face became even more brilliant. “By knocking Liu Chuanyuan out a total of five times, and adding these to the four Sword-Heart light balls he dropped in the Moon Pavilion, I’ve basically directly cultivated the Sword-Heart Integration to perfection.”

If the matter had not been so urgent, he would not have resorted to this.

Fortunately, at least he solved the problem.

A moment later.

Liu Chuanyuan woke up slowly. Immediately after, he saw Feng Xia’s serious face.

“Brother, what happened just now… Hiss! It hurts!”

The intense pain radiating from the back of his head made Liu Chuanyuan grit his teeth and gasp involuntarily.

Feng Xia took a step forward and spoke solemnly.

“Fellow practitioner Liu, you’re awake? You were ambushed by an expert from the royal family just now. Fortunately, I chased away that person in time and prevented you from getting seriously injured.”
