Chapter 219 Heading to Longjing
Chapter 219 Heading to Longjing
Yun Chen and Qin Xi successfully advanced to the Golden Core Realm.
They immediately rushed back to Cangcheng and returned to their residence.
At this moment, only Chen Qinglan remained at the residence.
"Yun Chen, we've finally made contact with you."
Chen Qinglan was somewhat anxious when she saw the two of them return.
The two immediately sensed something was wrong: "What's going on?"
"Chu Miaomiao has been taken away by the Dragon Group!"
Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions immediately changed.
Chen Qinglan quickly explained the situation to them.
It turns out that during the month that Yun Chen and Qin Xi were in seclusion, just ten days ago, Ye Mo also began a small cycle of cultivation and started trying to break through to the Golden Core Realm.
As a result, during the seven days Ye Mo was in seclusion, Chu Miaomiao went out to investigate alone and encountered a master from the Dragon Group, who forcefully suppressed her and took her away.
After Ye Mo emerged from seclusion, he learned of this and flew into a rage. He then went alone to Longjing and has lost contact with the city ever since.
Upon hearing this, Yun Chen and Qin Xi looked extremely displeased.
Unexpectedly, such a thing happened after they had been in seclusion for a month. The Dragon Group is truly treacherous. It seems that the two sides really should have a head-on confrontation.
Yun Chen clenched his fists, unleashing a terrifying aura that instantly whipped up a gust of wind around him. If Yun Chen had deliberately controlled it, everything around him would have been torn to shreds: "Alright, then I'll go to Longjing myself."
Chen Qinglan looked on in surprise: "You've broken through to the Golden Core stage?"
Qin Xi grasped Yun Chen's hand: "I'm here for you too."
A surge of violent aura suddenly erupted from her.
Chen Qinglan was speechless, her expression one of shock.
Yun Chen held Qin Xi's hand: "Xi Xi, you stay here and keep watch. I'll go and bring them back. I'm confident."
Qin Xi looked at her and shook her head, saying, "I'm going with you. No matter how confident you are, I'm still not at ease."
Chen Qinglan said, "Let's go together. This time we have to confront the Dragon Group head-on. You've all broken through to the Golden Core stage, so why don't you stabilize your own realms first?"
Yun Chen said, "Let's go to Longjing first."
Chen Qinglan nodded and said no more.
They immediately set off for Longjing.
Longjing is located in the Central Plains region, but it is no longer Chang'an from a thousand years ago. Instead, it is another major city at the core level, situated at the end of a plain, backed by mountains and facing a large river. It has a population of over 20 million and a city diameter of 50 kilometers.
A day later, they arrived in Zhongzhou from Jiangnan.
Upon entering Longjing, Yun Chen and Qin Xi immediately sensed something was amiss. A dense aura of malevolence permeated the entire city. There was a grand array of heaven and earth here, where the universe was reversed and yin and yang were transformed, changing from a protective force to a force that suppressed fortune.
From the air, the city appears vast and boundless.
The scene was extremely breathtaking and magnificent.
Buildings stretch out from the center outwards, in a series of phases: commercial districts, old residential areas, high-rise residential areas, villa residential areas, and industrial areas. The buildings are densely packed, surrounded by waterways and interspersed with green hills. It is a truly ultramodern metropolis that is awe-inspiring.
After Yun Chen and the other two arrived.
Yun Chen flew directly into the sky, unleashing the aura of a Golden Core Realm cultivator, causing gusts of wind and rain in the sky. He wanted to attract the attention of the cultivators from the Dragon Group.
Boom!!!
The entire sky above Longjing was shrouded in darkness, with thick, dark clouds. It was noon, yet the sky was as dark as midnight, accompanied by a violent storm with thunder and lightning. Many people in the city felt inexplicably uneasy.
Is this divine punishment, or is someone undergoing tribulation?
The cultivators of the Dragon Group noticed it immediately.
The remaining seven elders, especially those at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm, became solemn upon sensing such a violent commotion.
They walked out of the Dragon Group base and looked up at the sky.
call out!
The Dragon Group's Grand Elder, named Jingye, was middle-aged and well over a hundred years old. He flew into the sky, and when he saw Yun Chen's true face, he stumbled and almost fell over. He felt Yun Chen's powerful aura, which he couldn't withstand at all. The only explanation was that the other party was a Golden Core Realm expert.
"Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this?"
He clasped his hands slightly in a fist salute.
Yun Chen shouted, "I am Yun Chen. Hand over the person to me, or I will not be polite to your Dragon Group today."
Boom!
Yun Chen unleashed his Long Tassel Technique, and a bolt of blood-red lightning struck down, brushing past Jing Ye and chilling him to the bone.
Ino was shocked: "You're Yun Chen?"
He was very familiar with the names of Yun Chen and the others, and in a flash, he knew their purpose.
Ino said, "Fellow Daoist, please return to the ground. Let's sit down and talk about it. There must be some misunderstanding."
Yun Chen didn't waste any words: "What's there to talk about? What's the point of talking to you bunch of demons and monsters? You know what you've done. Hand over the person right now."
He frantically unleashed his divine sense, scanning the earth below, searching for the presence of Ye Mo and Chu Miaomiao.
Ino panicked immediately, his mind in turmoil and confusion, and a strong sense of jealousy arose within him. He hadn't expected that the other party would actually advance to the Golden Core Realm. How many years had the other party been cultivating? How could they possibly succeed?
At this moment, he steadied himself and said, "Fellow Daoist, is there some misunderstanding between us?"
"Don't pretend you don't know!" Yun Chen produced a long sword in his hand and casually threw it forward.
The sword transformed into a streak of light, leaving Ino with no time to react. With a soft thud, his chest was pierced through from both the front and back, leaving a bloody hole.
Ino coughed up a mouthful of blood, horrified, and staggered back, stopping her bleeding: "You..."
Yun Chen showed no mercy. During their three years of cultivation in Kunlun Mountain, they had already received cultivation education from the immortals. The first year was for building the immortals' worldview, the second year was for tempering their mental state with illusion arrays, and the third year was for learning and practicing various supernatural powers and spells.
When faced with demons who defy reason, the only solution is to kill them with force!
Yun Chen coldly shouted, "Hand over the person!"
Boom!
His voice was loud, like ten thousand thunderbolts striking down.
puff!
Ino's body felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer; she coughed up blood again and swayed precariously.
"Young friend, you've gone too far!!!"
Below, a golden rainbow soared into the sky, and a figure swept through the dark clouds, appearing before Yun Chen.
This man was none other than Lord Ding from the Dragon Group.
One of the few Golden Core Realm cultivators in the world.
Even he, who was usually elusive, had to show himself; otherwise, who in the Dragon Group could stop a Golden Core cultivator?
Yun Chen looked at this person, his expression turning serious.
This person exudes an extremely heavy aura and possesses a powerful presence.
Yun Chen spoke up: "You've finally shown yourself!"
Lord Ding, dressed in a white robe, looked very tall. With a flick of his sleeve, he threw out a pill to Elder Jingye to heal his injuries, and then told him to step back and bring Chu Miaomiao to him.
Ino clasped her hands in a fist salute and quickly retreated.
Lord Ding was a middle-aged man with a majestic figure, fair skin, and a refined and elegant demeanor.
"Young fellow Daoist, you've actually broken through to the Golden Core stage! That's truly unexpected!"
Lord Ding was surprised. He looked at Yun Chen with a gentle smile on his face, appearing calm and collected, but Yun Chen sensed that his smile concealed a dagger.
Yun Chen repeated his words: "Hand them over!"
Lord Ding said, "I've already sent someone to bring it."
He said with a smile, "Young friend, what's the matter? Let's go back to the ground, sit down, have a cup of tea, and slowly clear up the misunderstanding. Making such a fuss is bad for harmony."
Yun Chen was adamant: "I'll only negotiate when the people arrive. If even a single hair on their head is lost, I'll slaughter all of you Dragon Group cultivators as compensation!"
Upon hearing this, Lord Ding's expression changed, and his smiling face trembled slightly: "Young friend, it's normal for you to be young and impetuous and not know your own limitations, but you must learn to have a sense of awe."
A few minutes later, he changed the subject, pointing downwards: "Alright, the person has been brought here. Young fellow Daoist, it's time to tone it down!"
Yun Chen looked down at the ground.
Chu Miaomiao was brought here by the Dragon Group's Grand Elder.
Yun Chen asked, "Where is the other person?"
Lord Ding shook his head: "I only had this little girl arrested, not the other person."
Yun Chen looked at him, then concealed his aura and flew downwards.
On the ground, Chu Miaomiao, brought by Jingye, looked completely bewildered.
Qin Xi and Chen Qinglan rushed over immediately.
Yun Chen and Lord Ding landed back on the ground one after the other. It was a forest of trees, and the heavy rain made it look very desolate.
Upon seeing Qin Xi, Lord Ding's pupils dilated again. Another Golden Core cultivator?
