Chapter 659 - 655: Brought Back
What is the key?
He had been pondering this ever since he saw the handsome, pale young man.
Now he was starting to piece things together.
The answer is to cut off the root cause.
What is the root cause? It’s the methods of the Demon Clan. One must find a way to counter their methods.
How did the Demon Clan find the Yujing Cave Heaven? How did they break through its defenses?
If these questions aren’t figured out, killing as many of the Demon Clan as possible wouldn’t matter.
And to figure these out, killing this handsome young man wouldn’t help; getting information from him is more important.
Thinking this, he suddenly performed a sealing gesture, recited a divine incantation, and adopted an imposing demeanor.
His body flashed with golden light, followed by a golden net that had enveloped the handsome young man.
The handsome, pale young man was already prepared. Seeing his stance change, he immediately made a move.
"Boy, you are courting death!" he snorted, and with a phantom-like flash, he was in front of Chu Zhiyuan.
As a Heavenly Demon, he regarded humans as food, much like how humans view rabbits.
Rabbits can harm people, but the threat is limited.
He was certain Chu Zhiyuan was at the Qi Transformation Realm and didn’t pay much attention, intending to kill with one move.
He was contemplating that the Prince’s soul must be different, the taste surely exquisite, and the enhancement would be significant.
This time, entering the Yujing Cave Heaven, the souls inside were extraordinary, bringing significant gains.
The greatest gain this time might just be this Ninth Prince.
If it were the Eldest Prince, the gain would be even greater.
More importantly, it’s not just greatly beneficial for one’s own cultivation, but also a merit in killing.
Killing a prince, especially the Eldest Prince, could earn merits in the Demon Hall.
These merits could be exchanged for a vast amount of cultivation resources.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his lips.
His smile suddenly froze as the golden net enveloped him.
His handsome face darkened, and his form suddenly became illusory, turning into a wisp of smoke and disappearing from the spot.
A wisp of smoke, like a wandering fish, attempted to slip through the mesh of the golden net.
The golden net suddenly burst with golden light, and the mesh was covered by a layer of golden light, blocking the wisp of smoke.
The next moment, the smoke vanished, and he reappeared, with the golden net disappearing into his body.
He remained rigid on the spot, his eyes the only things spinning wildly.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded in satisfaction.
Indeed, it was worthy of being the Great Demon Suppressing Seal, specifically for countering the Demon Clan.
This little demon could indeed transform from solid to void.
Even if he couldn’t completely immune to physical attacks, he could dispel more than half.
If it weren’t for the Great Demon Suppressing Seal, it would be too difficult to completely subdue him.
He didn’t rush forward but stood still to concentrate and sense for a moment.
He nodded with satisfaction.
No sense of danger appeared.
It seemed he had indeed been subdued, and the Great Demon Suppressing Seal restrained his backup move.
He broke a long branch nearby and used it to draw out a string of Bone Beads from the sleeve of the handsome, pale young man.
As the Bone Beads appeared, he felt a jolt in his heart.
The farther the Bone Beads were from the handsome, pale young man, the more at ease he felt.
The inexplicable pressure gradually eased.
It seemed these Bone Beads could only exert stunning power in the hands of that handsome, pale young man.
The handsome young man stared wide-eyed, glaring fiercely at the Bone Beads. He watched as Chu Zhiyuan lifted them out of his sleeve and placed them onto a nearby tree branch.
When the Bone Beads settled on the tree branch, it quickly turned gray and then black.
Chu Zhiyuan clicked his tongue.
The toxicity of these Bone Beads was so potent, it was indeed astonishing.
Under the Super Sensing Illumination, what it emitted wasn’t toxic gas but a colorless, tasteless, silent wave.
This wave would result in the cessation of life, just like this little tree.
He shook his head.
If he had not known the potency of the Bone Beads and approached the handsome, pale young man directly, would he have been affected by that wave?
He pondered and found that he didn’t have anything akin to a Sealing Spirit Box.
Not wanting to deposit it directly into his silver bracelet, he had a sudden idea and waved a flash of white light.
"Pop!"
The moment the white light fell on the Bone Beads, the light shone brightly, and the Bone Beads emitted a dark glow.
The black and white lights tangled together, becoming inseparable, leaving Chu Zhiyuan astonished.
He was at a Spirit Transformation Level Great Brightness Fist, yet he couldn’t break the power of these Bone Beads.
The Spirit Transformation Level Great Brightness Fist was already at the pinnacle of Martial Arts.
Only Entering Void and Void Transformation were above it.
Even a master at the Divinity Transformation Realm without Spirit Transformation Level martial arts would be slightly suppressed by him.
The Bone Beads were indeed extraordinary.
He thought for a moment, then stopped using the Great Brightness Fist and switched to the Great Demon Suppressing Seal.
A golden net enveloped the Bone Beads.
Just as it was about to fall, the dark glow of the Bone Beads resisted the golden net.
The golden net slowly permeated the dark glow.
The dark glow immediately dimmed by three-tenths.
Chu Zhiyuan’s spirit lifted, and he again executed the Great Demon Suppressing Seal, with gold nets continuously descending.
Eventually, the dark glow dimmed completely until it retreated back into the Bone Beads.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, picked it up, and tucked it into his sleeve.
He carefully sensed it for a moment.
The Bone Beads, permeated by the golden net, no longer emitted strange waves.
Chu Zhiyuan looked up at the handsome, pale young man, watching him glare fiercely with his eyes. He couldn’t help but chuckle, "These Bone Beads are indeed a fierce treasure, aren’t they?"
He could guess the anger and unwillingness in the handsome, pale young man’s heart.
The handsome, pale young man glared at him with a cold smile in his eyes.
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, "Don’t worry, I won’t kill you."
The handsome, pale young man’s eyes continued with a cold smile.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I don’t understand interrogation methods, so I’ll have to hand you over to the Court. The Court has its experts to find out your secrets for entering."
The handsome, pale young man’s eyes gleamed with a bright light as he closed his eyes.
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, "Are you thinking about a way to escape?"
As he spoke, he again deployed the Great Demon Suppressing Seal.
Under the Great Demon Suppressing Seal, layer after layer of golden nets enveloped him.
After several layers of nets, Chu Zhiyuan completely relaxed.
When dealing with the Demon Clan, one must be extra cautious.
He then lifted the handsome young man and floated away, glancing back at the location of the Heavenly Person Peak.
With the collapse of Heavenly Person Peak, that section of the rock wall disappeared as well.
The inscriptions on the rock wall and the fist power of the Great Brightness Fist in the forest vanished.
In a daze, he had an inexplicable feeling. Was the ninth thatched hut also an illusion?
Was it all a dream?
Was the so-called Spiritual Abyss Body Cleansing Record something that emerged from his subconscious?
Because he remembered the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique of the Profound Yin Palace.
Could it be that due to the Taoye Marrow Cleansing Technique, he subconsciously wanted to create a cultivation technique like that?
He then shook his head.
He thought that with the Super Sense, it couldn’t be so misleading; he should have been able to distinguish between illusion and reality.
Was the ancestor Chu Honglin real and not an illusion?
He floated away swiftly, carrying a sense of wonder as he retraced his steps.
——
At the peak of Great Bright Peak, Chu Honglin and Chu Hongming sat cross-legged.
With the sun hanging high, Chu Hongming turned a half-closed eye to say slowly, "Fifteenth Brother, why are you so optimistic about the Ninth Prince?"
With a solemn expression, he calmly looked at Chu Honglin, "You all see his bad temper, but I see his pure and genuine character."
Chu Hongming shook his head, "His bad temper is just too much, and it’s unfair to him."
"Sigh..." Chu Hongming shook his head with a sigh, hesitating to speak further.
Just then, Chu Zhiyuan appeared, holding the handsome white young man.
