Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

Walking behind the team and heading deeper into Fog Valley, Ho Zhong first introduced the four teammates in front of him to Chen Yu.    

Cui Jin, who was skeptical of Chen Yu, came from one of the top seven Jinguang City s in the 72 cities. His swordsmanship was excellent and his Supreme Force was thick.    

As for the two people with similar appearances, they were Yue Kun and Yue Peng. They were a pair of blood brothers from Wu Yang City, which was ranked in the middle of 72 Cities. The two of them had extremely powerful bodies and were experts in close combat. There weren't many opponents at the same level as them, and the two of them had a tacit understanding with each other as they complemented each other.    

As for the only girl in the party, her name was Shangguan Lan, and she came from Phoenix Cry City. She specialized in long-range attacks and possessed a set of Disguised Spirit Artifact level ice attribute sleeve arrows.    

These three people were the same as Ho Zhong and Gu Luo, they were all at the sixth level of Heavenly Astral Stage.    

"As for me and Brother Gu Luo, we both use swords, but our strength is only average!" After introducing the situation of the four people in front of him, Ho Zhong said, "I'm good at dealing with people. Brother Gu's Qing Gong is extraordinary. If you meet an enemy, he can restrain and sneak attack you!"    

Pausing for a moment, Ho Zhong looked at the Sparrow Fire Sword s and the Wind Stabilization Blade s that were wrapped in cloth and whose handles were not even exposed, and said: "Brother Chen should be carrying a sword and a saber, don't tell me you are good at swords?"    

"They're all not bad!" Chen Yu smiled and said.    

"Not many people are proficient in Knife Technique Sword Arts!" Ho Zhong laughed and said, "If you underestimate Brother Chen, I'm afraid you will suffer!"    

Chen Yu smiled without saying a word.    

Deep down, Chen Yu still admired Ho Zhong's observation skills. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the Sparrow Fire Sword on his back were tightly wrapped, but he never expected Ho Zhong to be able to see that the one on his back was a blade and sword.    

As the group went deeper and deeper, the mist became denser. Their line of sight could only penetrate a distance of twenty meters. At a distance of twenty meters, they were able to see nothing but oxen and horses.    

This fog was one of the reasons why no one had been able to find the wood attribute Spiritual Soul up till now.    

After an hour, the team reached a very large valley. Within the valley, due to the fog, the whole scene couldn't be seen clearly. However, Chen Yu could already vaguely see a lot of teams gathering together.    

"Ho Zhong!" Cui Jin, who was at the front, stopped and said to Ho Zhong: "It's hard on you to find out more about it. Un, this time, bring the new person from Minglan City with you. Gu Luo, you can stay!"    

"Hmm?" Ho Zhong was slightly shocked and said, "Brother Chen, you just arrived. Brother Cui, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"    

"What's wrong with it?" Cui Jin was rather polite to Ho Zhong, but he did not hide his disdain when he looked at Chen Yu. He said, "Everyone in the team must play their role. Other than asking for information, can he do anything else?"    

Ho Zhong helplessly turned to look at Chen Yu.    

"Let's go!" Chen Yu didn't say much and was too lazy to argue with Cui Jin. He said to Ho Zhong, "With Brother He by our side, I'm sure there won't be any problems!"    

"Alright!" Ho Zhong nodded and walked to the side.    

Taking a few steps forward, Ho Zhong said in a low voice, "Brother Chen, just follow behind me. When I'm asking the other teams for information, you shouldn't casually open your mouth." Also, be on your guard at all times. If your cultivation realm is too low, it's easy for others to notice you! "    

"Targeted at me?" Chen Yu smiled and said, "Murder for goods?"    

Ho Zhong said, "That may not be the case, but it could also be extortion. Anyway, if we are targeted, there will be quite a bit of trouble." We'll try not to cause any trouble! "    

While speaking, Ho Zhong looked around and walked towards a team 20 meters away.    

The group of people looked towards Chen Yu and his partner at the same time with a vigilant look. A few of the warriors were eyeing them covetously. When they were sure that only Chen Yu and his brother were approaching, they showed an evil expression.    

"Brothers, is there any news about the Spiritual Soul?" Ho Zhong stopped eight meters away, clasped his hands at those people and asked politely.    

"Scram!" A fierce-looking man looked coldly at Ho Zhong. He did not answer Ho Zhong's question and spat out a word.    

"Sorry for disturbing you!" Ho Zhong did not show any signs of anger as he cupped his hands and retreated.    

The group of people didn't have much of a reaction, they only watched Chen Yu and his companion retreat coldly.    

"You're just asking for information?" After a certain distance, Chen Yu asked Ho Zhong.    

"How else?" A trace of helplessness appeared on Ho Zhong's face as he said, "The fog is too thick, I can't see too far away. Otherwise, I can look for some acquaintances I might have."    

Chen Yu did not comment.    

Soon, Ho Zhong went to the second team.    

The second group had the appearance of ten people, and one of the warriors at the seventh floor of Heavenly Astral Stage, upon hearing Ho Zhong's question, impatiently waved his hand.    

Ho Zhong still did not continue to pester him.    

When they reached the third group, a short but vigorous fighter stared at Ho Zhong. After Ho Zhong asked, he rubbed his hands and grinned at Ho Zhong.    

Ho Zhong let out a breath of relief. He took out three low rank Primeval Stone s and placed them down five meters away from the warrior before returning to Chen Yu's side.    

The warrior shouted, and another person came up to take the Primeval Stone.    

"The latest news about the Spiritual Soul is, there's no news!" The short warrior grinned and ridiculed, "A little warrior like you dares to scheme against Spiritual Soul, you really do not know your place!"    

Ho Zhong's expression turned ugly.    

"Scram!" The warrior didn't even look at Ho Zhong and said coldly: "You don't have to leave if you want to continue talking!"    

Several martial artists beside the martial artist roared with laughter.    

Ho Zhong gritted his teeth and retreated.    

"Wait a minute!" Chen Yu said lightly: "Since there is no news, then return the Primeval Stone!"    

Ho Zhong was shocked and immediately pulled Chen Yu.    

Chen Yu was not moved at all. He stared coldly at the short and strong warrior and said, "It's not that easy to get our things!"    

"Chen Yu, don't act recklessly!" Ho Zhong quickly said: "It's just three Primeval Stone, don't worry about it!"    

"It has nothing to do with the Primeval Stone!" Chen Yu said in a deep voice.    

Indeed, it had nothing to do with the Primeval Stone, it was only related to the tone in his heart. If Chen Yu hadn't come with Ho Zhong, then it would have been fine. But since they had come, then Chen Yu really couldn't tolerate Ho Zhong's actions.    

Of course, in the Fog Valley, where hundreds of teams were gathered and the situation was complicated, Ho Zhong's cautious behavior was understandable. However, Chen Yu could not bear to see it any longer. Not to mention the previous two times, if he was able to endure it this time, Chen Yu felt that it would be impossible for his thoughts to reach such a level.    

"Quite the nerve. You dare to make a ruckus recklessly at a mere second level of Heavenly Astral Stage? It's because I think highly of you that I have three Primeval Stone s! " The short martial artist looked around and laughed. His companions also laughed and jeered.    

Chen Yu remained unmoved as he stared at the warrior coldly. His eyes were sharp and cold, with a hint of a bloody light in them.    

Under Chen Yu's cold gaze, the warrior instantly felt it and showed a trace of unnatural expression. However, he immediately spat and said to the person next to him, "Then let's play, Zhao Jin. Let's teach this guy a lesson. Bring the Storage Bag from his body. Un, don't kill him, just teach him a lesson and let him know how cruel City Battle Trial is! "    

"Alright!" A warrior with an average stature and an ordinary face, who looked normal even in the crowd, responded excitedly and walked towards Chen Yu in big strides.    

The other warrior also stood up at the same time and went towards Ho Zhong.    

Ho Zhong was a martial artist at the sixth level of Heavenly Astral Stage after all, so the martial artist that came out stopped Ho Zhong to prevent him from interfering.    

"Let's go!" Ho Zhong shouted with an ugly expression.    

Chen Yu did not move. He stood there like a pine tree.    

"Brat, if you want to suffer a little less, hand over the Storage Bag!" Zhao Jin said to Chen Yu mockingly.    

"So much nonsense!" Chen Yu said faintly: "You guys are not willing to return the three Primeval Stone. If you want me to take action, then not only three, but three hundred!"    

"How dare you be so arrogant on the second level of the Heavenly Astral Stage!" Hearing Chen Yu's words, Zhao Jin seemed to have heard the funniest joke. Laughing loudly, he threw a punch towards Chen Yu.    

"Chen Yu!" Ho Zhong's face showed helplessness and regret. His body flashed and he was about to help Chen Yu. However, just as he moved, the warrior who was with Zhao Jin stopped him.    

On the other hand, the short warrior who led the team stared at Chen Yu with a thoughtful look in his eyes.    

The cyan air current condensed into a gray wolf, roaring as it rushed towards Chen Yu.    

Zhao Jin was at the sixth level of Heavenly Astral Stage, but his Astral Energy was weak and loose. The Ash Wolf that it had condensed had a huge body and looked imposing, but in reality, it was not that strong.    

"If we divide the Qi Manipulation Technique into ten parts, this Ash Wolf made out of True Divine Spirit Qi only has one part, and it can't even compare to the power of the sword formed from True Divine Spirit Qi!" As Zhao Jin made his move, Chen Yu evaluated Zhao Jin's move calmly in his heart.    

In the last few days, Chen Yu had been learning the Qi Manipulation Technique by himself. After cutting the flesh and bones of dozens of Demonic Beast, he more or less had some understanding in this area.    

It was only when the Ash Wolf was about to collide with Chen Yu that Chen Yu made his move. He used his finger as a sword and pointed it at the Ash Wolf. The energy shot out, condensing into a long sword that stabbed into the wolf's body.    

Then, with the shake of Chen Yu's wrist, the green colored Qi around his fingertips rotated easily. It split the Ash Wolf into pieces and dismembered it.    

The separated Astral Qi Ash Wolf instantly turned into a gale of wind and dispersed.    

"Sure enough, it has its shape. It has neither flesh nor bones, and its divine will is extremely weak!" Chen Yu shook his head.    

Zhao Jin was stunned. His originally casual expression was replaced by surprise as he said, "I didn't expect you to be so capable. No wonder you dare to speak so arrogantly. "Brat, I must admit that I have underestimated you. I have to be serious!"    

Saying that, Zhao Jin's body moved like the wind as he strode towards Chen Yu. A powerful aura rose from his body, forming an intense pressure. As the astral energy circulated around his body, it also gained a bit of sharpness.    

"Zhao Jin, be careful not to capsize!" The short martial artist reminded him.    

"Chen Yu, be careful. Don't go too hard on him!" Ho Zhong shouted with a serious expression. He attacked the warriors who were blocking him, trying to break through the blockade to help Chen Yu.    

Along with Zhao Jin's instantaneous arrival, Chen Yu saw a palm constantly expanding in his eyes. The Supreme Force on the palm was highly condensed and compressed, bringing with it a misty cyan light, causing Zhao Jin's palm to look like cyan jade.
