Chapter 392: Stealing the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror
The more Zhang Chen thought about it, the more he felt that things could work out, and a hint of relaxation appeared in his eyes: "I'll go make tea and pour water right away. This time, I must arouse the greed of that Monk Haichan!"
Zhang Chen hooked the kettle with his fingers and slowly walked towards the distance. Along the way, he first arrived at the Xuanji Ancestor's house, only to see the Xuanji Ancestor holding a tortoise shell and deducing something.
"Disciple pays respects to Ancestor." Zhang Chen respectfully saluted the Xuanji Ancestor: "Disciple has come to brew tea for Ancestor."
The more Xuanji Ancestor looked at Zhang Chen, the more he liked him, and the more he felt a sense of affinity. So, he stretched out his hand and beckoned Zhang Chen to come over: "Good child, come forward and let Ancestor take a good look at you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen became vigilant in his heart, but he did not show any defense on his face. He walked straight towards the Xuanji Ancestor and knelt down in front of him: "What are Ancestor's orders?"
"Let me ask you, if the Wuzhuang Temple is destroyed in the future, where will you go?" Xuanji Ancestor asked.
Zhang Chen's face was innocent: "With Longevity Ancestor here, the Wuzhuang Temple is as stable as Mount Tai, how could it be destroyed? Unless the Kunlun and Taiping Dao act together, our Wuzhuang Temple will have a chance of being destroyed. But when that day really comes, I will naturally go wherever my little sister goes."
Zhang Chen's words seemed casual, but he had a hidden meaning in his heart.
He felt that the Longevity Ancestor had many methods, so he directly pointed out the Taiping Dao and Kunlun sects to remind the Xuanji Ancestor that if the two could invite experts from Kunlun and Taiping Dao to help, the chance of killing the Longevity Ancestor would be even greater.
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, as Zhang Chen expected, a thought arose in Xuanji Ancestor's mind: "Since we are taking action against Longevity, it is inevitable that it is too unsafe. If we get the support of the Kunlun and Taiping sects, things will definitely be foolproof. Longevity will have no room for maneuver and will surely die without a burial place."
"If one day, the Wuzhuang Temple really suffers a calamity, would you be willing to follow me and cultivate under my sect?" Xuanji Ancestor asked.
Zhang Chen heard the words and said: "The Wuzhuang Temple will definitely not suffer a calamity. Ancestor is too worried. My Ancestor is famous all over the world, who dares to stroke the tiger's whiskers? But if there really is such a day, if I can join Ancestor's sect, it would be the blessing of several lifetimes of cultivation for this disciple."
Xuanji Ancestor was thinking about inviting the Taiping Dao and Kunlun Daoist temples, waved his hand to signal Zhang Chen to retreat. Zhang Chen carried the teapot and walked through the courtyards of the ancestors one after another. After adding tea, he finally came to Monk Haichan's small building.
"Ancestor, disciple has come to add tea!" Zhang Chen said respectfully.
At this time, Monk Haichan was holding a writing brush in his hand, dipped in golden dye, and was writing dense small characters on his golden bowl. After hearing Zhang Chen's words, Monk Haichan's palm shook, and he accidentally missed a stroke, writing a character wrong.
Zhang Chen had just walked in with the teapot, and before he could show the five feathers to tempt Monk Haichan, he saw Monk Haichan suddenly frowned: "Bastard, who told you to come in? Without my permission, who told you to break in like this? Are the disciples of the Wuzhuang Temple all so unruly?"
Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard the great monk's words: "This Monk Haichan has such a temper! He doesn't have the calm air of a Buddhist at all."
Before he could react, he saw a golden light flashing in front of him. The golden light came swiftly, and Zhang Chen didn't have time to react. The next moment, he only felt a flower in front of his eyes, and a sharp pain in his forehead. Then, there was a sound of bone cracking in his head, and then bright red blood dripped down his forehead, wetting his eyes.
Pain!
Pain to the extreme!
Zhang Chen touched his forehead, only feeling his head buzzing. His whole body was dizzy, and he sat down on the ground, covering his head with stars in his eyes.
"Your head is quite hard, you didn't die from this blow!" Monk Haichan sneered, suddenly stepped forward, grabbed one of Zhang Chen's arms and yanked it hard. Blood mist sprayed out, and one of Zhang Chen's arms was directly torn off. The pain stimulated Zhang Chen to wake up from his dizziness, and his eyes looked at Monk Haichan. The next moment, he saw Monk Haichan's head twisting, turning into a monster's head. The head looked a bit like a grasshopper's head, and it directly stuffed Zhang Chen's arm into its mouth and chewed it.
Zhang Chen was shocked when he saw this scene: "This Monk Haichan is actually a monster?"
Seeing Monk Haichan acting fiercely, Zhang Chen quickly braced himself and knelt on the ground: "Ancestor, spare me! Ancestor, spare me! Disciple did not intentionally disturb Ancestor. Disciple picked up a treasure in the backyard before and is willing to offer it to Ancestor as an apology."
While speaking, Zhang Chen quickly took out five feathers from his arms and knelt on the ground with a respectful expression.
The Monk Haichan, who was originally acting fiercely, saw the five colorful feathers in Zhang Chen's hand, and the anger in his chest instantly dissipated, and a hint of disbelief appeared in his eyes: "How is this possible? This is the natal feather of the Innate Peacock?"
"How did this thing fall into your hands?" Monk Haichan stared at the five feathers with his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief.
Zhang Chen clearly felt that Monk Haichan's breathing became rapid, obviously the other party had already become greedy at this time.
Monk Haichan grabbed the feathers and examined them carefully in his hand before confirming that they were correct. He turned his head and stared at Zhang Chen with his eyes: "Boy, how did you get this treasure?"
"I picked it up when I was cleaning in the backyard. It looked like a treasure, so I secretly kept it. Disciple is willing to offer it to Ancestor as an apology. Please spare my life, Ancestor." Zhang Chen's face was panicked at this time, and his acting skills were even more like a movie emperor than a movie emperor.
Monk Haichan heard the words and held the five feathers in his hand, turned his head and looked down at Zhang Chen: "Besides you, does anyone else know about this?"
Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard the words. Even if he was stupid, he should know what Monk Haichan wanted to do at this time. This dog thing not only got the treasure, but also wanted to kill someone to silence him!
At this time, Monk Haichan had already become greedy in his heart. What Zhang Chen had to do was to delay time and wait for the Great自在 Heavenly Demon to attack, so he said calmly: "Reporting to Ancestor, besides disciple, there is also a junior sister who knows."
"Someone else knows?" Monk Haichan's eyebrows turned when he heard the words, revealing a thoughtful look. If this is the case, if I kill the little Taoist in front of me at this time, it will not have the effect of killing someone to silence him.
"Why not think of a way to get him to lead that junior sister over, and I will kill them both at that time."
During their exchange, Abbot Hai Chan had already devised a plan, his eyes glaring fiercely at Zhang Chen: "Boy, today this old ancestor will sever one of your arms as a minor punishment. Go and summon your junior sister, tell her to come and serve me. If she can serve me to my satisfaction, this old ancestor might help you reattach your arm. And you must not tell a third person about this treasure, otherwise this old ancestor will surely extract your soul and refine it, ensuring you die without a burial place."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen hurriedly and respectfully said: "This disciple obeys!"
The Ancestor nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, then pointed a finger, and Zhang Chen's wound immediately stopped bleeding: "Quickly summon your junior sister to serve me. If you are late, don't blame this old ancestor for not helping you reattach your arm."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen hurriedly dropped the teapot and quickly ran out of the small building. After running far away, Zhang Chen's severed arm saw a wriggling of flesh, and the blood splattered on his clothes flowed back like water to Zhang Chen's arm, directly reattaching Zhang Chen's severed arm.
Apart from the severed sleeve, the pale white arm was a little dazzling, and there was no abnormality to be seen.
"That Hai Chan Old Ancestor is actually a transformed demon beast, and so violent, truly deserving of death," Zhang Chen's voice was filled with killing intent:
"I say, old fellow, can you actually do it?"
"Do you think it's so easy to launch greed and seize control of his body?" The Great自在天魔 said unhappily: "If I were in my peak state, it would be easy to control him, but my current strength is less than one ten-billionth of my peak, so it's still very difficult to control this old fellow."
Speaking of this, the Great自在天魔 said: "Give me thirty more breaths, and I can control that old fellow."
Zhang Chen smiled upon hearing this:
"I'll go to the Nine曲黄河 Great Formation and wait. How can the Nine曲黄河 Great Formation exert its true power without me presiding over it? This damned Hai Chan Abbot dares to attack me, I will definitely make him suffer retribution in the Nine曲黄河 Great Formation!"
After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he directly transformed into a drop of water and seeped into the ground, reappearing in the Nine曲黄河 Great Formation.
Zhang Chen stood in the Nine曲黄河 Great Formation, looking at the overwhelming endless yellow sand, a touch of emotion in his eyes: "The power of my Nine曲黄河 Great Formation is even greater! Coupled with my Golden蛟剪, I will definitely not give Hai Chan Abbot a chance to escape, I will completely crush his true spirit in this place."
Zhang Chen took out the Golden蛟剪, and with a casual throw, he saw the Golden蛟剪 fly into the Nine曲黄河 Great Formation and disappear without a trace, waiting for the Hai Chan Old Ancestor to use means like the congenital peacock to escape, and his Golden蛟剪 would secretly deliver a fatal blow.
"That Hai Chan Abbot is a different species, containing the bloodline flowing down from the creation of the world, which can just complete a kind of blood for you to practice the 化血神刀," said the Great自在天魔.
Zhang Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this, never expecting such a harvest?
"Not only Hai Chan Abbot, but the other guys are also transformed from different species, such as the 玄机 Old Ancestor, who is actually an old turtle transformed. They are all innate species, second-generation innate creature bloodlines. If you can obtain their blood, it is enough for you to cultivate the 化血神刀," the Great自在天魔 said, his voice full of temptation.
Hearing this, Zhang Chen's heart pounded, and his eyes went straight: "I never thought I would have such an opportunity! Good opportunity! Good opportunity! If I can gather the materials for cultivating the 化血神刀 in the spiritual world, that would be a great blessing."
And the Great自在天魔 laughed secretly in his heart when he heard Zhang Chen's words: "Silly boy, do you still think this is the spiritual world? What spiritual world!"
But he didn't expose it, he felt that if he exposed it, he didn't know what kind of variables would be caused, and if the timeline changed to his disadvantage, then the trouble would be great!
Zhang Chen stood in the Nine曲黄河 Great Formation waiting, not to mention, and said that Abbot Hai Chan, after getting five feathers, was even more happy in his heart, his emotions constantly fluctuating: "The five-colored divine light of that congenital peacock is extremely heaven-defying. The reason why the immortals in the upper realm failed in the past was all because of this five-colored divine light. If I can refine this five-colored divine light, even if the immortal's true spirit is revived, I can kill it. Even if the peacock's true spirit is resurrected, now that the five-colored divine light is in my hands, who will win and who will lose, we still have to compete to know."
Just when his greed was rampant and his mind was running wild, a black lotus bloomed in his heart. Abbot Hai Chan noticed something was wrong and hurriedly wanted to use Buddhism to suppress it, but it was too late after all.
The next moment, Abbot Hai Chan's face struggled slightly, and then a strange smile appeared on his face. He looked up and down at his own arm, and then he slowly and leisurely took small steps, looking at the scenery of 五庄观 along the way, and then came to the backyard where the Ancestor was located.
He didn't talk nonsense, he came directly to the place where the 天地宝鉴 was stored, and according to the formula taught by Zhang Chen, he stretched out his palm and directly took the 天地宝鉴 in his hand.
Why did the Longevity Ancestor dare to enshrine the 天地宝鉴 here without fear of being stolen? It was because without the activation formula, it was impossible to take away the 天地宝鉴 at all, and it would be directly sucked in and imprisoned by the 天地宝鉴.
Just like Zhang Chen before, his palm landed on the 天地宝鉴, and the 天地宝鉴 directly opened the door and sucked Zhang Chen in.
If outsiders don't understand the key, there is only one more prisoner in the 天地宝鉴.
However, Abbot Hai Chan did not leave quietly after obtaining the 天地宝鉴, but deliberately released mana fluctuations, so that the Ancestor noticed the change here, and then Abbot Hai Chan escaped directly towards the Nine曲黄河 Great Formation.
Abbot Hai Chan had caused a commotion, how could the Longevity Ancestor not know?
The commotion really alarmed the Ancestor, and the Longevity Ancestor hurriedly chased after him, all the way to the place where the 天地宝鉴 was stored. When he saw the empty offering table, he only felt a boom in his brain: "The 天地宝鉴 is gone? How did he take away the 天地宝鉴? Why didn't the 天地宝鉴 fight back? I knew it, they must have come prepared!"
Because Abbot Hai Chan deliberately left behind his aura, the Longevity Ancestor didn't say a word, and directly turned into a stream of light and chased out. The two sides, one in front and one behind, arrived at the Nine曲黄河 Talisman Formation almost at the same time.
"Abbot Hai Chan, why is this so?" The Longevity Ancestor stared at Abbot Hai Chan with a gloomy face: "Hand over the 天地宝鉴, I can let bygones be bygones, we are still good friends, otherwise today's matter will be difficult to resolve, we must have one person left here."
'Abbot Hai Chan' sneered upon hearing this: "You are too hypocritical! You are about to die, and you still dare to show off with me? If you want the 天地宝鉴, come and get it yourself! Now that this treasure has fallen into my hands, it is absolutely impossible to return it to you."
