From the Ancient Divine Demon?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen’s eyes immediately brightened, a hint of seriousness appearing in his gaze.
No matter what it is, if it’s connected to that group of Ancient Divine Demons, it’s definitely not something simple.
Zhang Chen’s vigilance towards Tushan Qing heightened once more. This guy relies on gambling techniques and has gathered a lot of good stuff. If his enemies are even slightly careless, it’s likely to end in disaster.
Zhang Chen’s eyes now showed a touch of caution, gaining new understanding of Tushan Qing’s methods.
"Can you lend me that invisibility technique? There are too many eyes here, and standing here doesn’t seem right, does it?" Tushan Qing looked at Zhang Chen with full expectation.
Zhang Chen, upon hearing this, remained indifferent, took out an Invisibility Rune, and handed it to Tushan Qing across from him.
Tushan Qing received the Invisibility Rune joyfully, turning it over in his hand to examine it, constantly praising, "What a treasure! What a treasure!"
Inwardly, he mused, "This talisman is truly a great gem. Now that it’s in my hands, there’s no way I can return it. This talisman is the divine artifact for robbery and theft! Having this talisman makes doing some shady things much easier. Once the Shen Family’s battle ends, if he comes asking for it, I’ll say it accidentally fell on the battlefield and was picked up by someone else. Then I’ll offer some compensation, and this talisman will be mine."
Tushan Qing schemed gleefully, looking at the talisman in his hand with eyes that seemed ready to drip with affection, as if looking at a lover.
Zhang Chen gazed at Tushan Qing and knew full well the Fox Spirit was tempted by his invisibility talisman. But his talismans were created through Divine Techniques cultivation, and with a single thought, he could summon them back instantly from miles away. If the other party was plotting for his invisibility talisman, they were misguided.
"However, if he’s tempted by my invisibility talisman, it seems he’s got an eye for it." Zhang Chen thought to himself.
Tushan Qing affixed the invisibility talisman to his body, then looked towards the battlefield: "Those with yellow headscarves are Yellow Heaven Dao’s troops. Those clad in blue robes belong to the Flood Banner of the White Lotus Sect. Even the local noble families of Jinling City are participating in the Shen Family hunt, joining this feast for Taotie."
Hearing Tushan Qing’s words, Zhang Chen’s eyes revealed a hint of sentiment: "Indeed, everyone wants to bite a piece of fat off the Shen Family."
"So what shall we do?" Tushan Qing looked sidelong at Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen had his mind on the tip of the Immortal Slaying Sword. After hearing Tushan Qing’s words, he pondered briefly: "Wait!"
"Wait?" Tushan Qing was stunned.
"Currently, the experts of the Shen Family are still there. Do you think we can approach the Shen Family? They’re on high alert now, and if we dare get close, we’d be blasted to smithereens." Zhang Chen explained.
"I guess we can only wait." Tushan Qing sighed softly.
Zhang Chen’s lips curled in a smile. The reason he remained waiting on the ground was not just for the Shen Family experts to fall; it was merely a pretext. He was waiting for the appearance of the Tenth Tier deities, waiting for those divine spirits to perish.
To him, divine spirits also represent a large number of points!
He planned to first collect all the Creation on the ground, and then access the underground hidden treasures to seize the Innate Water God’s legacy.
As the Shen Family members gradually fell into disadvantage, the divine spirits hidden in the shadows couldn’t sit still. At this moment, they joined the battlefield in droves, and the scene turned into a bloodbath, with countless Shen Family disciples dying tragically on the spot.
The five Quasi-Divine Beings also started to act, moving to suppress Shen Family’s Ninth Tier deities, and the Shen Family was not to be outdone—there was a vast wave of divine light from their old residence, as another Tenth Tier deity entered the fray.
"The Shen Family actually has two Tenth Tier deities!" Zhang Chen watched as another grand divine light appeared in the void, a hint of gravity showing in his gaze. He never expected that the Shen Family would possess another Tenth Tier deity.
With the emergence of the Shen Family’s Tenth Tier deity, the five Quasi-Divine Beings immediately fell into disadvantage but still managed to hold on, keeping the Tenth Tier deity contained.
"No wonder Yellow Heaven Dao invited so many experts, even Hu Li the Immortal was invited. It seems the Shen Family’s trump cards are indeed plentiful. Unfortunately, although the Shen Family has many cards, Hu Li the Immortal’s cultivation is already infinitely close to the Eleventh Tier; the defeat of the Shen Family’s Tenth Tier deity is only a matter of time." Zhang Chen mused, "In fact, in tonight’s battle, if everything goes well, Hu Li the Immortal might even advance to the Eleventh Tier."
Zhang Chen had planted a Reincarnation Mark on Hu Li the Immortal, feeling the boiling strength within Hu Li’s body, his bloodline evolving, and his Essence, Qi, and Spirit undergoing unknown changes.
"He’s using pressure to help himself break through the shackles and overcome limits! A Tenth Tier Divine Dao powerhouse is no weaker than a Tenth Tier Immortal Dao powerhouse; Hu Li the Immortal wants to transform using the pressure from his opponent. He intends to revert his ancestry! Hu Li the Immortal is taking the path of ancestral transformation, aiming to evolve into the Innate White Tiger! He intends to walk the Innate White Tiger Dao!" Zhang Chen felt the various information transmitted from the Reincarnation Mark, developing numerous projections about Hu Li the Immortal.
"Hu Li the Immortal has such a presence!" Zhang Chen thought to himself.
At this moment, Tushan Qing clicked his tongue beside him: "The Shen Family is finished! The Great Virtuous Master predicted long ago that the Shen Family would have two Divine Beings at the tenth tier, so he has already laid a Heaven and Earth Net against the Shen Family. You can finally breathe easy, as the fall of the Shen Family is indeed karma."
Upon hearing Tushan Qing’s words, Zhang Chen’s heart was startled: "Does the Great Virtuous Master truly have such skill, able to predict that the Shen Family would have two tenth-tier Divine Beings?"
"You must have misunderstood the Great Virtuous Master; his abilities far exceed your expectations," Tushan Qing replied.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen’s expression became serious, his eyes filled with deep apprehension, truly in awe of the Great Virtuous Master’s tactics.
"Now, one of the Shen Family’s tenth-tier Divine Beings is held up by Hu Li the Immortal, while the other Divine Being dominates the entire scene. Merely five quasi-tenth tier beings are not enough to contend with that tenth-tier Divine Being." Zhang Chen’s gaze settled on that tenth-tier Divine Being, his eyes showing a trace of seriousness.
The gap between the tenth tier and quasi-tenth tier lies in the formation of the Divine Body, the true tenth tier has formed a Divine Body, rather than merely stepping into the rank of the tenth tier.
The gap between forming a Divine Body and not forming one is substantial, so much that the Shen Family’s tenth-tier Divine Being is pressing those five quasi-tenth tier Divine Beings.
"If the Yellow Heaven Dao is only capable of this, then the idea of destroying my Shen Family today is purely whimsical," the powerhouse suppressing the five quasi-tenth tier Divine Beings spoke, his voice full of disdain.
Hearing the words of the other party, Zhang Chen was taken aback; he recognized this Divine Being, it was the tenth-tier Divine Being who had called out to him that day.
"Sir, don’t be arrogant, let me meet you!" At this moment, Liu Ji emerged from the shadows, wearing coarse cloth clothing, yet emanating a unique aura.
"You ant, your cultivation is unimpressive, yet your tone is large!" That tenth-tier Divine Being laughed disdainfully, not taking Liu Ji into account at all.
"It’s going to backfire!" Zhang Chen knew the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword, and seeing Liu Ji step out now, he knew things were about to turn around.
Liu Ji didn’t need to make many moves, he only needed to make one, to pierce the Immortal Slaying Sword into the opponent’s body, and that tenth-tier Divine Being would be doomed.
Even beings exceeding the twelfth tier can’t withstand the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword, let alone a mere tenth-tier Divine Being?
Even a broken Immortal Slaying Sword isn’t something a tenth-tier Divine Being can oppose.
"Please, everyone, hold him for three breaths!" Liu Ji spoke to the remaining five quasi-tenth tier Divine Beings at this time.
The five quasi-tenth tiers nodded, it was previously agreed upon by both parties.
Everyone knew they couldn’t stop the true tenth-tier Divine Being of the Shen Family, but to hold him for a few breaths wasn’t difficult.
Upon hearing the conversation between several people, the Shen Family’s tenth-tier Divine Being immediately sensed a bad omen in his heart, just as he was about to withdraw and create distance, he glanced around only to see that the five quasi-tenth tiers had unknowingly positioned themselves at front, back, left, right, and one in the middle had entangled him, preventing any escape.
"Something’s not right!" The Shen Family’s tenth-tier Divine Being was shocked, ready to break free from his opponent’s entanglement, and escape the encirclement, but the opposite tenth-tier Divine Being simply smiled: "Too late!"
In the next moment, five divine lights combined into a piece, imprisoning the void, fixing the Shen Family’s tenth-tier Divine Being in the air.
"We know we are absolutely not your match, but holding you for a few breaths isn’t a problem," the quasi-tenth tier Divine Being showed a ferocious smile.
"Liu Xuansu! My Shen Family has been allied with your Liu Family for generations through marriage, my Shen Family has supported your Liu Family on countless occasions, and yet you strike against my Shen Family?" The Shen Family’s tenth-tier Divine Being noticed the ominous situation, his voice full of fury, murderous intent continuously filling the air.
"Bah! Alliance? Your Shen Family dominates Jinling, we all must bow before the Shen Family, your word is law. Your Shen Family says ’duck’, and we can only purse our lips. How are we allies? We are all merely dogs raised by your Shen Family!" Liu Xuansu’s voice brimming with anger:
"The people of Jinling have suffered under the Shen Family for ages! If it weren’t for your Shen Family controlling Jinling’s incense, we’d have already truly entered the tenth tier, instead of being stuck in this limbo."
"Indeed! The people of Jinling have long suffered under the Shen Family! The Shen Family has lorded over Jinling’s citizens for hundreds of thousands of years, it’s time to change the Feng Shui, and change the mountain tops!" Another quasi-tenth tier Divine Being spoke.
"Wang Tai! Others may criticize my Shen Family, but what qualification does your Wang Family have to strike against my Shen Family? My Shen Family’s matron Wang Xifeng is still a direct daughter of your Wang Family!" The Shen Family’s tenth-tier Divine Being’s voice was filled with anger, mixed with disbelief.
