Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

In terms of strength, Chen Daolin was naturally not a match for the Minglan City Wu Steel, but in the deep forest covered by the night sky, Chen Daolin's predicament was the same as the Wu Steel that chased Chen Yu. The forest's obstruction prevented him from using the advantage of the Wing Flying Technique, and in the vast darkness of the night, he very easily lost Chen Yu's position.    

Furthermore, there were too many martial artists fleeing in every direction in Fengqiu at this moment. After killing a few unlucky martial artists that met him, Chen Daolin could only grit his teeth and stare into the deep night as he returned to the summit of Fengqiu to meet up with Feng Xuan and Situ Lan.    

On the summit of the hill, the chaos was over, leaving behind only blood and corpses.    

"How is it?" Feng Xuan and Situ Lan asked Chen Daolin as they saw him turn around.    

Chen Daolin shook his head.    

Bai Shangfei, who was behind Feng Xuan, clenched his teeth and said, "That guy killed a few of his junior brothers at the entrance of the valley outside Feng Qiu. He was holding a Sparrow Fire Sword in his hands. Junior Sister Murong Qingwu might already be in trouble! "    

"Deng Zitong is a piece of trash!" Chen Daolin said angrily: "Forget about Fire Spiritual Soul, even Sparrow Fire Sword have been lost. If not for the Sparrow Fire Sword, Junior Zhang would not have perished. "Also, if anything happens to Murong Qingwu, we will have to go through a lot of trouble!"    

"That's right!" Situ Lan's expression was grave as she said, "Although Chief Murong didn't say it clearly, he undoubtedly entrusted Junior Murong to us. If only I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let Junior Sister Murong and Deng Zitong and Zhou Fengming travel together! "    

"Although Deng Zitong's strength is not as good as Junior Bai's Junior Brother Lu, he is still not bad. Who would have thought that he would be so weak?" actually let a guy in the second level of the Heavenly Astral Stage snatch the Sparrow Fire Sword away? " Feng Xuan said: "What we need to do now is to find out the background of the guy who stole the Sparrow Fire Sword, and capture him before the selection ends!"    

"With such a large Trial Secret Realm, how could it be easy?" Situ Lan said: "Moreover, we don't know who the Spirit Connecting Vine might be. The possibility of us finding it again is minuscule!"    

Everyone became silent.    

When they received the news that the Spirit Connecting Vine would be put into the Trial Secret Realm, they began to plot. The three of them first fought with each other, trying to decide whether or not the Spiritual Soul would belong to someone else, then compromised with each other, formed an alliance, and through showing their determination towards the Spirit Connecting Vine, forced the other top geniuses of the branch sects to give up their wild hopes of the Spirit Connecting Vine.    

The plan of the three of them was that after collecting the Spirit Connecting Vine, they would then decide who to belong to. Their plans and considerations had been thorough, but they hadn't expected that it would all come to naught in the end.    

"Kill everyone that could have been drilled by the Spirit Connecting Vine, wouldn't we be able to find the location of the Spirit Connecting Vine?" Bai Shangfei asked.    

"What Junior Bai said is reasonable!" Situ Lan said: "It's just that have you thought about it, although the Spirit Connecting Vine has entered the body of one of the dozen people, once it leaves Feng Qiu, it will leave that person's body and find another plant to attach itself to? At that time, not to mention us, even if the seniors of Myriad Spirit Palace were to go all out, we would also need to spend an enormous amount of time and effort to once again capture the Spirit Connecting Vine! "    

Bai Shangfei apparently had not considered this much and when he heard that, he could not help but be shocked. He said: "Senior Sister Situ's meaning is, the Spirit Connecting Vine are just borrowing those warriors to escape from this place? Its intelligence is actually this high? It is not inferior to a human? "    

Situ Lan nodded and said, "There is an arrangement by Senior Myriad Spirit Palace within the Mist Valley, preventing Spirit Connecting Vine from leaving. Right now, the Spirit Connecting Vine is borrowing the bodies of the ordinary warriors to leave the Mist Valley.    

The other disciples of the other sub-schools also revealed expressions of disbelief.    

"The Spirit Connecting Vine that no one has been able to tame for a thousand years is indeed mysterious!" Feng Xuan said: "However, what Junior Martial Sister Situ said is only a guess, maybe there is another possibility, and that is that after entering the Heavenly Astral Stage Warriors' bodies, the Spirit Connecting Vine will not be able to easily escape from their bodies, unless the warrior dies!"    

"If it's like this, it's much easier. As long as we kill those warriors who were dug into by the Spirit Connecting Vine, we might be able to find the Spirit Connecting Vine again!" Situ Lan said, "It's just that the secret realm is so big, it won't be easy for us to capture those people one by one!"    

"Even if the chances are slim, I still have to give it a try!" Feng Xuan said: "How about this, Junior Bai, lead your group of three junior brothers and chase them to the west, you must capture that guy who stole the Sparrow Fire Sword. The others will split up and search and capture in other directions! "    

"Alright!" Bai Shangfei nodded his head and immediately called out to the two disciples of his sub-school. He then walked in the direction where Chen Yu had disappeared to.    

"Disciple Wang Zhen, you should also bring your two juniors!" Situ Lan also turned around and shouted at a warrior at the seventh level of Heavenly Astral Stage. "Capture him alive!"    

Immediately, another three silhouettes leaped up and dashed out like Bai Shangfei.    

"Lu Chengfeng, you take care of everything here and search for other secular disciples." Long Chen, Li Lie, the two of you come with me. The cold killing intent on Chen Daolin's face didn't dissipate. He let out a roar and jumped up.    

Feng Xuan and Situ Lan weren't surprised by Chen Daolin's departure. They all knew that Zhang Gaoming was a capable general of Chen Daolin and their relationship was very good. Therefore, Chen Daolin should have the intention of avenging Zhang Gaoming.    

Looking at each other, Feng Xuan and Situ Lan could see the helplessness in each other's eyes. Situ Lan said, "Let's clean up the battlefield and start looking for needles in the sea!"    

"He's really looking for a needle in a haystack!" Feng Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, let's start our hunt for the secular disciples in groups of three or five!"    

"I didn't expect such a result. Hall Master Ning, are you planning to track the Spirit Connecting Vine?" At the edge of the forest, the old man in the red robe said.    

"Let's go!" Ning Yushi shook his head: "The Spirit Connecting Vine will definitely come out of those warriors' bodies and hide in the endless vegetation. Furthermore, we cannot let these participating martial artists see us.    

"A beam of light entered Chen Yu's body. What is the probability of that ray of light being the Spirit Connecting Vine's body?" The old man asked.    

"The possibility is close to none!" Ning Yushi said: "When Chen Yu killed that sub-school disciple, he used the Flamingo s. As long as the Spirit Connecting Vine's body entered his body, it would be very difficult to fuse with the fire Spiritual Soul. Therefore, the Spirit Connecting Vine is definitely not inside Chen Yu's body! "    

Ning Yushi glanced at the old man and said, "I lost. After the selection is over, you can come find me at the main peak anytime!"    

"Ha ha!" The old man in the red robe laughed, "Then let's make a deal. I look forward to your cooking skills, Ning Yushi!"    

Chen Yu did not choose to leave the valley after he left the foothill. Instead, he chose to leave through a hill.    

From what he could sense, the struggle of the Spirit Connecting Vine in his heart had already greatly weakened. He could continuously sense the furious and unwilling thoughts of the Spirit Connecting Vine, but he did not pay attention to them.    

This kind of Spiritual Soul that had developed astonishing intelligence would not yield that easily, so Chen Yu didn't have any intentions of communicating with the Spirit Connecting Vine through telepathic thoughts right now.    

After making sure that he had gotten rid of Chen Daolin, Chen Yu slowed down his pace.    

"Who is it?" Suddenly, Chen Yu frowned and turned his head to the side.    

"Very good perception!" Two figures suddenly appeared from the forest and approached them. They were two warriors who were at the peak of the sixth level of Heavenly Astral Stage. They looked at Chen Yu with undisguised malicious intent.    

Chen Yu's sword vibrated.    

"You're injured!" The middle aged man was slightly taller, his aura was even more eye-catching as he said: "If I'm not wrong, you are the person that broke through the seal at the entrance of the branch sect disciple at the foot of the hill, the Spirit Weapon in your hand is called Sparrow Fire Sword, right? Their origins seem to be extraordinary, to the point where even that sub-school's expert could be recognized! "    

Chen Yu didn't expect to be targeted.    

"If you are smart, hand over your Storage Bag and that sword, and we will not kill you!" The man said.    

Chen Yu waved the Sparrow Fire Sword in his hand and said lightly, "Aren't you afraid of its power?"    

"I said it already, you're hurt. Furthermore, I feel that the possibility of you using the sword's power again is very small! " The man said.    

Chen Yu lowered his head and looked at his chest. His injuries were not light. The wound caused by Zhang Gaoming's sword radiance was shocking. However, only he knew that his injuries were not serious.    

In fact, Chen Yu had been injured countless times after the selection started, but none of them had much effect on him.    

Chen Yu looked back at where he came from and said, "I'll give you a chance, get out of here now! Otherwise, you will all die miserably!"    

"Savage! You're merely at the second level of the Heavenly Astral Stage. Even if you have the Spirit Weapon, what can you do?" The warrior who had spoken earlier suddenly became angry. He coldly snorted and his body flashed as he slashed out a sword. A sword qi swept across the dark night, making it seem very grand.    

However, the trees in the forest blocked it. This type of sword qi seemed very strong, but in reality, it was just a facade. Chen Yu only slightly dodged and dodged it.    

"Attack!" The warrior shouted coldly. His body flashed, and when he was ten meters away, he slashed out another stream of sword Qi.    

The other martial artist was the same, circling Chen Yu and moving between the trees, slashing out with his saber qi.    

Without a doubt, these two did not know Chen Yu's background. They were also afraid of the might of the Sparrow Fire Sword in Chen Yu's hands, so they tried to use their sword qi to wear Chen Yu down.    

Chen Yu felt it was funny, but he knew that he didn't have much time to waste on it. His body flashed, and Wind Transformation Movement activated. He hid behind a tree and rolled on the ground, avoiding the blade qi that was dancing in the air.    

The sword was like a stream of light, carrying a cold glint that was as fast as a shooting star.    

The warrior at the sixth level of Heavenly Astral Stage was pulled closer by Chen Yu, and quickly retreated, not daring to get entangled with him.    

Only, they had greatly underestimated the profoundness of the Wind Transformation Movement. Chen Yu caught up in an instant, and the tip of his sword was still able to pierce through it.    

When the warrior blocked the strike, he was shocked to discover that the Sparrow Fire Sword's strike had the strength of a thousand kilograms, and was not something he could dodge.    

The cold star flashed and pierced through the throat of that warrior.    

Another warrior was in the middle of slashing out a sharp sword qi. Seeing his comrade being killed in an instant, his expression turned to one of shock. He abruptly stopped and turned around to flee.    

"Die!" Chen Yu flashed like a ghost and chased after him in less than ten seconds.    

After three moves, that warrior also died to Chen Yu's sword as expected.
