Ch. 1740 - Myriad Treasures
There were many people searching for treasures here.
One after another, with hardly any downtime at all.
“Young Master Chen, don’t worry. With us here, we’ll definitely help you vent your anger,” a loud shout suddenly came from not far away.
A group of people arrived at Azure Dragon Cave with aggressive momentum.
Their identities were all extraordinary.
The moment they appeared, they attracted everyone’s attention.
“Look, that’s Zeng Tanzi from the Blood Demon Cave.”
“And that young man, Xu Xianjian from the Myriad Sword Domain.”
“Saint Son Qing Ming from the Ancient Nether Mountain.”
“Why have so many prodigies gathered here? Is it because of Azure Dragon Cave?”
“Probably not. They tried Azure Dragon Cave long ago. The Hour Bell doesn’t give a second chance.”
At this moment, Ouyang Xiu felt nervous.
He glanced at Xu Zimo and whispered, “If things really go bad, let’s just leave.”
“If you’re scared, then leave on your own,” Xu Zimo said, clearly displeased.
Ouyang Xiu was being far too timid.
“I owe you my life. How could I, Ouyang Xiu, be someone who clings to life and fears death?” Ouyang Xiu hurriedly explained.
“It’s just one life. Worst case, I’ll give it back to you.”
Xu Zimo shook his head and laughed.
Ouyang Xiu might be cowardly, but he was still loyal and righteous.
At this moment, Chen Xuan had already led a group of prodigies, surrounding Xu Zimo and the others completely.
“Kid, now you know fear?” Chen Xuan laughed loudly.
“Too late. Weren’t you pretty arrogant earlier?”
Then Chen Xuan continued with a grin, “But I’m a kind person. If you crawl through my legs, I might consider sparing your life.”
As he spoke, Chen Xuan spread his legs, and the surrounding crowd burst into laughter.
“Chen Xuan, let this matter end here.”
Ye Qingcheng’s voice came from not far away.
She had clearly been paying attention to the situation here and rushed over the moment Xu Zimo was being targeted.
“Miss Qingcheng, this has nothing to do with you,” Chen Xuan replied.
“This brat insulted me. This is a personal grudge between him and me.”
Although Jade Court was extremely powerful and famous throughout the Upper Heavens, Eighteen Blade Purgatory had the Divine Court behind it and was not easy to provoke either.
Moreover, conflicts among the younger generation, as long as they were not excessive, rarely escalated into open warfare between sects.
Thus, Chen Xuan’s tone was far from polite.
He had originally intended to pursue Ye Qingcheng.
But after hearing that she had become Xu Zimo’s “sister-in-law,” his displeasure only grew stronger.
“What if I insist on intervening?” Ye Qingcheng said calmly.
She stepped in front of Xu Zimo.
Her aura burst forth, causing the expressions of everyone present to change.
They were all considered prodigies themselves, but compared to Ye Qingcheng, they were still a notch inferior.
“You can protect him for a moment. Can you protect him forever?” Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and threatened.
“I’ve already sent word to my brother. He’s been wanting to spar with you.”
“Chen Cangtian’s matter, I’m happy to accompany him,” Ye Qingcheng replied calmly.
“But today, no one is touching him.”
These words made Chen Xuan’s expression even darker.
He looked up at Xu Zimo and snorted coldly.
“Kid, do you only know how to hide behind a woman? Can you come out and fight me like a man?!”
“Don’t pay him any attention,” Ye Qingcheng reminded.
Xu Zimo shook his head and laughed.
“This kind of childish trick is really boring.”
He stepped forward, reached out with his right hand, and grabbed toward Chen Xuan.
“What are you trying to do?” Chen Xuan’s expression changed.
He retreated continuously, but no matter how he tried, he could not escape Xu Zimo’s grasp.
Like a chick being caught, he was lifted straight up.
“Release Young Master Chen,” the prodigies accompanying him shouted angrily.
Zeng Tanzi of the Blood Demon Cave surged with a blood sea around his body.
The bloody stench spread as the blood sea empowered him, his might skyrocketing as he charged at Xu Zimo.
Xu Xianjian of the Myriad Sword Domain was surrounded by returning swords.
Thousands upon thousands of sword lights tore through the heavens, roaring across the sky.
As for Saint Son Qing Ming of the Ancient Nether Mountain, his bones turned entirely azure, incomparably hard, as though capable of destroying everything.
Numerous prodigies attacked Xu Zimo from all sides.
“Get lost.”
The sound was as heavy as thunder, crashing down from the heavens and exploding amid the clamor.
Countless bodies were sent flying.
Under that single shout, some bled from all seven orifices, some suffered damaged souls, and one by one they fell to the ground, barely clinging to life.
“So strong?” At this moment, many people were dumbfounded.
Even Chen Xuan, who was being held, finally realized that he had kicked an iron plate.
“My brother is Chen Cangtian,” he tried to threaten again.
But Xu Zimo tightened his grip on his neck.
Chen Xuan felt suffocation closing in.
“You can’t kill me. I can’t die.”
He struggled desperately, until finally his movements stopped.
Xu Zimo casually tossed his corpse aside, as if throwing away trash.
“You… you killed Chen Xuan,” someone nearby stammered.
It was unclear whether they were frightened by Xu Zimo’s ruthlessness or by Chen Xuan’s death.
“Isn’t the corpse right in front of you? Why ask me?” Xu Zimo replied.
“Do you want me to send you down to join him?”
That person was terrified into silence, not daring to make a sound.
Even Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly.
Originally, she might have been able to suppress this matter.
But killing Chen Xuan meant there was no longer any room for reconciliation with Chen Cangtian.
Everyone knew that man was a fanatic who doted on his younger brother.
This matter had become one of life and death.
“I’ll make arrangements. You should leave the Grand Desolate Heaven as soon as possible,” Ye Qingcheng said.
“Eighteen Blade Purgatory is powerful, but its influence is mainly limited to the Grand Desolate Heaven.”
Xu Zimo shook his head.
“At a time like this, still being stubborn will get you killed,” Ye Qingcheng said with some anger.
If not for Lin Ruhu’s sake, she would not have bothered with this at all.
After all, this man was Lin Ruhu’s elder brother.
Xu Zimo grinned.
“What makes you think I would be afraid of Eighteen Blade Purgatory?”
Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng was stunned.
Wasn’t that the natural reaction?
Eighteen Blade Purgatory was the number one force beneath the Divine Court. Who in the Grand Desolate Heaven didn’t fear them?
Xu Zimo merely shook his head and smiled, offering no further explanation.
Instead, he slowly walked toward the top of Azure Dragon Cave.
“I won’t be using the Hour Bell. Bring out all the treasures from the treasure sea,” Xu Zimo said calmly.
Hearing this, someone nearby let out a snort of laughter.
“Who do you think you are? Do you think the treasure sea listens to you?”
But halfway through that sentence, the voice abruptly stopped.
The treasure sea erupted.
Countless glowing orbs flew out densely from the treasure sea.
Each orb shone with a different light, like stars filling the sky, flickering across the void.
Xu Zimo looked at the glowing orbs.
He searched among them, trying to find the key to the Three Corpse Burial Ground.
