Chapter 489: The Fallen Soul Bell
The sea brings forth the bright moon, and at this moment, people from afar share this view.
At this moment, the flood rages. Although it can't be said there's a bright moon over the sea, the flood stretches as far as the eye can see, carrying its own kind of artistic charm.
Adding to this, the moon is as round as a wheel, making the scenery even more pleasant.
Just as Zhang Chen was lamenting that human relationships are like spiderwebs, Xie Xuan looked at Zhang Chen and said, "If you have the ability, try to submerge the Pingbian King's navy as much as possible. When the large ships of the Pingbian King's mansion are dismantled, the common people who fall into the water will have a chance to survive with the planks. I don't know how many people can be saved, but it will be a great merit."
"I didn't think of that. If the Pingbian King's navy can be destroyed, wouldn't tens of thousands of large ships be able to save countless people?" Zhang Chen's eyes lit up: "If you want to destroy the Pingbian King's navy, why bother smashing the large ships? I naturally have a way to send their navy into the bellies of fish and shrimp."
The three of them talked for a while, and Zhang Chen returned to the cabin to rest, waiting for the arrival of the Pingbian King's navy.
Time passed little by little. During the day, Zhang Chen used the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror to reflect the traces of the old eunuch. At night, Zhang Chen collected moonlight, and then ran wildly in his spiritual world, wanting to search for divine power, wondering if he could gather another share of divine power.
If he could gather thirty-three strands of divine power and transform them into a complete divine power, even a highly skilled person who has attained enlightenment, Zhang Chen would dare to compete with them.
Thus, time passed quickly.
One night, Zhang Chen was about to meditate and cultivate when Xie Xuan appeared outside Zhang Chen's door: "Brother Zhang, something bad has happened! The aquatic army has arrived! I received news that the aquatic army will arrive on the battlefield in about an hour."
"It seems I won't be able to sleep tonight." Zhang Chen slowly stood up, a hint of killing intent revealed in his eyes: "Chief Xie, don't be anxious. After I'm ready, I'll go and fight with those demons."
Xie Xuan turned and left upon hearing this. Zhang Chen looked at the corner of the cabin, and saw a red light flickering in the corner. Gong Bai appeared in the shadows.
"From today onwards, the Blood Saber has no more scruples. As long as they are the demon army from the Northern Lands or human experts, you can kill them at will." Zhang Chen looked at Gong Bai.
Gong Bai's figure flashed and disappeared into the cabin upon hearing this.
Further away, on the Pingbian King's warship, the Pingbian King and a four or five-year-old boy were sitting on the deck, drinking.
The young boy was the Tiger Power Great Immortal. At this moment, his eyes were looking at the rippling water and the Jianxiaosi's large ship floating in the water, a hint of fear revealed in his eyes.
"Old Ancestor, with your abilities, as long as you make a slight move, and I call my subordinates to cooperate, the encirclement and suppression of Xie Xuan and the Jianxiaosi army would be a matter of moments. Why wait for the aquatic army to arrive?" The Pingbian King's voice was full of incomprehension. The Tiger Power Great Immortal is a twelfth-order god. Even if the other party has the protection of the Great Victory Dynasty's dragon energy, is it worth the Tiger Power Great Immortal's fear?
The Tiger Power Great Immortal withdrew his gaze from the Jianxiaosi navy's large ship. Of course, he was not afraid of the Jianxiaosi's five thousand troops and the Great Victory Dynasty's navy. What he feared was a person on that ship.
The Tiger Power Great Immortal sniffed with his nose. He clearly smelled a familiar scent in the dark, one that was unforgettable.
He was too familiar with Zhang Chen!
That kind of smell was simply engraved in his bones.
Of course, the Tiger Power Great Immortal was not without ways to kill Zhang Chen. For example, he could attack from a distance, secretly moving a mountain to crush the kid to death, but Xie Xuan was on the ship, and would never allow the mountain to crush the ship. As long as Xie Xuan blocked his attack for a moment, that kid would have a chance to react, and then he would be unlucky.
Therefore, the Tiger Power Great Immortal felt that if he could avoid showing his face, he should not show his face. If he got himself involved, or lost face in front of his subordinates, what face would he have to lead the demon race?
He didn't want to lose face!
Facing the question raised by the Pingbian King, the Tiger Power Great Immortal impatiently said: "A mere ninth-order expert is nothing. I failed to kill him once, why would there be a second time? Wouldn't it damage my reputation? Don't worry, my aquatic experts have already arrived, and they will definitely sink the Jianxiaosi's five thousand men into the water to feed the fish and shrimp."
The Tiger Power Great Immortal's voice was full of understatement, which made the Pingbian King secretly complain in his heart: "You are simply a dog bastard. A dignified twelfth-order god, you were actually scared away by someone, and you can't even kill a Xie Xuan, yet you still have the face to act tough here."
While the Pingbian King was complaining, he turned his head to look at the three Celestial Masters of the Yellow Heaven Dao not far away, and secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't pin all my hopes on that beast, otherwise, I don't know what kind of end I would have met."
Over there, the Tiger Power Great Immortal looked at Chen Sanliang, who was serving by the side: "I heard that Zhang Chen is your disciple?"
Chen Sanliang quickly said: "Reporting to the Old Ancestor, this person is not my disciple, but my wife's disciple."
A playful look appeared in the Tiger Power Great Immortal's eyes: "In that case, you are a family?"
Chen Sanliang smiled bitterly: "We can't be considered a family, but we do have some friendship."
"If you can win that kid over to my demon race, I can promise to personally take action for you and challenge those old Confucian guys. Or…" The Tiger Power Great Immortal took out a small bell and handed it to Chen Sanliang: "Use this to kill him, and it will be considered removing a great患 for my demon race. I can also help you avenge your hatred."
"This bell…?" Chen Sanliang looked at the bell, a hint of curiosity revealed in his eyes.
"This bell is special and mysterious. Once activated, it can seize people's souls and suck their souls into the bell. Even if a mortal holds it in their hand and activates it with their lifespan, a tenth-order expert will be caught off guard. If it falls into the hands of a cultivator, the Yin God can shake the existence of the twelfth-order. This secret treasure was accidentally obtained by me in the past, and it is also my natal magic weapon. The reason why I was able to awaken my spiritual intelligence in the past was all thanks to this bell." The Tiger Power Great Immortal said: "Even when I was passing through the three disasters in the past, I relied on this treasure."
He was able to rise from ignorance and become an ancestor-level figure in the demon race, so naturally he had trump cards.
"You and Zhang Chen have a close relationship, so you might as well pretend to approach him and then secretly activate this treasure to capture his soul. When the time comes, I may even have a way to resurrect your wife." The Tiger Power Great Immortal said with a smile.
Chen Sanliang's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and he clenched the bell tightly in his palm, looking at the Tiger Power Great Immortal in disbelief: "My wife is already dead, how can she be resurrected? Old Ancestor, are you joking?"
"What do you know? This treasure has the power to destroy souls, and it also has the power to gather souls and bring the dead back to life. However, one person must die in order for one person to live." The Tiger Power Great Immortal said: "If you can kill Zhang Chen, I naturally have a way to resurrect your wife."
The Pingbian King's breathing became rapid upon hearing this, and his eyes were fixed on the bell in Chen Sanliang's hand. This is a treasure that can bring the dead back to life, and a mortal can kill a great cultivator. Who wouldn't be envious? If he had this treasure, how could he endure this kind of humiliation?
The three cultivators of the Yellow Heaven Dao were also staring straight at it, never having heard of such an incredible treasure.
Chen Sanliang stabilized his breathing upon hearing this, grabbed the bell, didn't say much, just put the bell into his sleeve, and then bowed to the Tiger Power Great Immortal.
His actions were enough to outweigh thousands of words.
After seeing Chen Sanliang's actions, the corners of the Tiger Power Great Immortal's mouth curled up, revealing a meaningful smile. He didn't believe that Zhang Chen, that tiny ant, could escape this calamity.
Zhang Chen's cultivation could deceive others, but it couldn't deceive him. He was a twelfth-order expert, and the gap between him and Zhang Chen's cultivation was too great. He could see through Zhang Chen's details at a glance.
With the power of his Fallen Soul Bell, as long as Zhang Chen was hit, that kid would be dead.
The Pingbian King, seeing the Tiger Power Great Immortal's actions, was thinking deeply in his heart: "Something's not right. The Tiger Power Great Immortal's magical powers are so great, why doesn't he take action himself if he wants to deal with Zhang Chen, and instead lends out his own treasure for Chen Sanliang to do it? This is clearly unreasonable."
The Pingbian King was an old fox, and he had already realized that something was wrong. Thinking about the time when the Tiger Power Great Immortal besieged Xie Xuan and returned in defeat, Zhang Chen seemed to be there too?
"Could it be that Zhang Chen has a way to restrain the Tiger Power Great Immortal?" An unbelievable thought arose in the Pingbian King's mind: "Why? Why does Zhang Chen make the Tiger Power Great Immortal fear him?"
Even the Pingbian King could think of such a key point, let alone the three ninth-order gods of the Yellow Heaven Dao. The three Celestial Masters looked at each other, and Zuo Lianying, one of the twelve Celestial Masters, secretly transmitted a voice to Gu Mingyue and asked: "Who is this Zhang Chen, that he actually makes that beast so afraid?"
Gu Mingyue frowned: "This person is a member of my Yellow Heaven Dao, and he is the disciple of that old guy Wu Changming."
Zuo Lianying was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Since this person is from my Yellow Heaven Dao, then it will be easy to handle. If we can use this person to control the Tiger Power Great Immortal, wouldn't the demon race fall into our hands in the future? Our hope of preaching in the demon race is also in sight. If we can gain believers from the demon race, my Yellow Heaven Dao will have one more way out."
Gu Mingyue smiled bitterly: "But that Zhang Chen has a great feud with the Pingbian King's mansion, and… I have already sold him out!"
"What's going on?" Another Celestial Master, Zhou Shenzhu, asked.
Hearing Zhou Shenzhu's question, Gu Mingyue also knew that this matter could not be concealed, so he could only helplessly tell the story. Hearing this, Zhou Shenzhu said: "Junior brother, you are confused! Such a talented person, even if you offend the Pingbian King's mansion, you must protect him. Although we have taken refuge in the Pingbian King's mansion, we have a cooperative relationship with the Pingbian King, not a dependent relationship. Such a bottomless flattery violates the righteousness of my Yellow Heaven Dao."
"Don't blame him, he also doesn't know Zhang Chen's abilities. Who would have thought that he would actually have a way to restrain the Tiger Power Great Immortal? What we have to do now is to try our best to remedy the situation. Fortunately, we haven't completely torn our faces yet, so we can find an excuse to cover up the matter with the Pingbian King's mansion. Send someone to contact Wu Changming, and Wu Changming can come forward to make him return to his heart." Zuo Lianying said.
Hearing this, the other two nodded. Now they can only do this.
