Chapter 709 - 710: Prelude to the Opening

Chapter 709: Chapter 710: Prelude to the Opening

"Let’s go."

Having volunteered to back down, Chu Fengmian couldn’t be bothered to argue any further.

He could tell that Mu Xie had also concealed a great deal of his strength. His true power was likely comparable to that of Night Sky Monarch and the Cold-faced Demon Lord.

For Chu Fengmian to make a move against him wouldn’t be an easy task.

But in a genuine fight to the death, Chu Fengmian wouldn’t fear Mu Xie. In the city of Guiluxu, no one wanted to expose their trump card prematurely, including Chu Fengmian.

Once they entered the heavens of Guiluxu, Chu Fengmian would have a thousand ways to kill Mu Xie and these disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

At the side, Wang Hui, having heard Chu Fengmian’s words, was momentarily stunned before hurriedly catching on.

"This way, please."

While speaking, Wang Hui led Chu Fengmian and Han Yueli away, to one of the largest caves in Guiluxu City, and they entered.

This cave was one of the top nine caves of Guiluxu City, holding the city’s best resources.

Watching Chu Fengmian enter, a few disciples of the Xuantian Sect revealed hate-filled expressions.

These Xuantian Sect disciples could almost cover the sky with one hand in the Southern Domain. It wasn’t just that no one dared to oppose them; no one had ever dared to compete with them for anything.

And now, to have suffered such a loss at the hands of Chu Fengmian, their eyes filled with rage, their Spiritual Power ready to burst forth in anger at any moment.

In front of Mu Xie, however, none dared to act.

"Now isn’t the time to clash with this man. Since he’s provoked our Xuantian Sect, he’s already a dead man. But our goal here is still the treasure in the heavens of Guiluxu. We can’t reveal too much now. When we reach the heavens of Guiluxu, that will be his end!"

Mu Xie spoke coldly, his words seething with rage.

He then glanced at the man with the hawk nose and said,

"Take care of Brother Hu. Before the heavens of Guiluxi open, let his injuries heal."

"Yes."

The other two Xuantian Sect disciples nodded urgently and took the hawk-nosed man to a slightly smaller cave to recover.

Chu Fengmian’s battle had stirred up ripples in the once tranquil Guiluxu City, and many people discussed it.

Especially since Chu Fengmian defeated the hawk-nosed man with one move, this surprised many.

A strong figure had finally emerged from the Northern Domain, which had always lacked them.

Such discussions soon calmed down.

Most martial artists had chosen their caves and did not start any conflicts.

At this time, to initiate conflict was the most foolish thing to do. Peace reigned.

"It seems this opening of the heavens of Guiluxi has attracted most of the talents from the Nine Domains."

Chu Fengmian sat in the cave of the top nine, scanning the breaths of countless martial artists outside, muttering to himself.

This top day cave was a massive courtyard, where the thick Spiritual Energy even turned into a small Spiritual Spring. The Spiritual Liquid in it was the essence of Spiritual Energy.

This courtyard was no less than some of the training Holy Lands outside.

Chu Fengmian sat beside this Spiritual Spring, drawing its power. Although he had reached a bottleneck in his strength and could not progress further, Chu Fengmian was able to condense the Spiritual Power into Spirit Stones, gathering strength in his empty ring.

"All these talents are just right. Each carries countless encounters, and many understand various sword techniques, which are of great use to me. This is the best chance to reforge the Nine Domains Sword Technique."

Chu Fengmian looked around at the other martial artists, sneering to himself.

"My Black Profound Sword Formation can continue to be refined. The Spiritual Artifacts in their hands, I can integrate into the Black Profound Sword Formation. Their martial skills, all of them can be fused into my Nine Domains Sword Technique. When we reach the heavens of Guiluxi, it will be time for my frenzied slaughter."

A killing intent was revealed in Chu Fengmian’s eyes.

Now, many of those martial artists outside wanted to kill Chu Fengmian, but he harbored the same thoughts. Whoever dared to provoke Chu Fengmian, he would kill.

In the heavens of Guiluxi, there were no rules. Whoever Chu Fengmian encountered, he could kill on the spot.

"Yue Li, be careful when we’re in the heavens of Guiluxi. The Array that opens it is extremely chaotic. It’s unknown where we’ll end up upon entering. It’s very likely we’ll be directly transported to some dangerous, fierce place. If you encounter danger, hide as best as you can. Just crush the Jade Talisman, and I’ll find you to help."

Chu Fengmian looked at Han Yueli beside him, his Spiritual Power condensing into a Jade Talisman, which he handed over to her directly.

The heavens of Guiluxi were an independent space. The so-called opening was also when many powerful beings used supreme methods to tear open a gap at the moment when the power of the heavens of Guiluxi was weakest.

But once a martial artist entered, where they would be transported to was unknown, so Chu Fengmian couldn’t guarantee that he could stay with Han Yueli.

Moreover, some of the less fortunate martial artists were directly transported to the dangerous places within the heavens of Guiluxi and perished on the spot.

Truly, less than three out of ten martial artists were able to leave the heavens of Guiluxi alive. At least seventy percent would die within.

However, if one were able to leave the heavens of Guiluxi alive, they would gain tremendous benefits. The Demonic Lord of Poisoned Hands was among the weakest in strength of those who entered the heavens of Guiluxi and had no chance to snatch the grand treasure, yet he gained so much.

With such tremendous gains, it was enough to attract countless talented martial artists to enter, to the point where the number of entrants had to be limited.

Han Yueli took the Jade Talisman and nodded gravely.

Aware of the dangers of the heavens of Guiluxi, with a survival rate of less than thirty percent, no one could take lightly the peril of the heavens of Guiluxi.

In the heavens of Guiluxi, all martial artists were enemies. The only one you could rely on was yourself.

Now, Han Yueli’s strength, although not the best among the martial artists entering the heavens of Guiluxi this time, was not weak.

She shouldn’t be in too much danger.

Seven days passed quickly.

During these seven days, more martial artists came to Guiluxi City, causing a few conflicts.

But these conflicts were restrained, as everyone occupied a cave and began to rest.

Until after these seven days did the entire Guiluxi City suddenly ring with the sound of bells.
