Death Grip
Upon hearing Yan Haoxuan's words, Yun Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. If they followed Yan Haoxuan's suggestion, then sending Xing Chen away was not without hope. Once they reached the sea area, the threat from the Demon Sect would no longer pose a danger to Xing Chen.
With Xing Chen's talent, it was estimated that in a few years he would possess the strength to confront the Demon Sect. Moreover, leveraging the geographical advantage of Sword Mound to stall for a few years against the Demon Sect was not entirely impossible.
"Where is that Teleportation Array?" Yun Qing looked at Yan Haoxuan, a rare hint of excitement in his eyes.
"I don't know the exact location, but I do know the name of the place; it's in Sword Valley," Yan Haoxuan replied after pondering for a moment. He was still not very familiar with Sword Mound, so even though he knew that the Teleportation Array was located in Sword Valley, he had no idea where Sword Valley actually was.
"Alright, since that's the case, we'll first go to Falling Star Valley and then use those people in Falling Star Valley to reach Sword Valley," Yun Qing nodded.
"What about Young Master Chen?" Lin Luori glanced at Yun Qing and pointed at Xing Chen.
At this moment, Xing Chen's body seemed to transform into a massive vortex, continuously absorbing the surrounding Negative Power. As an endless stream of Negative Power surged in, Xing Chen's previously weak aura quickly stabilized. However, in his current state, no one dared to approach him.
This was because the Negative Power surrounding him was too dense; any contact with it would likely result in immediate influence from that Negative Power, subsequently eroding their consciousness.
"Chen Er's aura has stabilized now; he is basically out of life-threatening danger. As for this Negative Power, there's no need for him to continue absorbing it; otherwise, it could potentially harm his body," Yun Qing said with a flicker in his gaze. A faint purple arc of electricity surged on his palm, and then he suddenly struck forward with a powerful palm strike. The Purple Lightning twisted and transformed into an electric net that enveloped Xing Chen.
Lightning is the nemesis of Negative Power. Wherever this lightning passed, the surrounding Negative Power retreated. However, when this electric net descended upon Xing Chen, a thick Black Light suddenly erupted from his body, instantly tearing apart the electric net.
The surrounding Negative Power surged even more violently into Xing Chen's body.
"What exactly is hidden within Chen Er? How could he break through my electric net under such circumstances?" Yun Qing's expression changed slightly as he thought to himself.
"Please leave this place first! I will stay here with Chen Er Guardian, and when he wakes up, I will take him to Falling Star Valley to find you." Yun Qing pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at everyone.
"In that case, we will leave first. Cloud Leader, take care." Yan Haoxuan responded to Yun Qing without hesitation, clasping his fists.
"Leader, take care." Lin Luori and the others from Azure Cloud Gang also spoke up, as this was Sword Mound, but one could not guarantee that the people from Demon Sect would not come after them.
"Understood." Yun Qing nodded, his gaze once again turning to the Xing Chen surrounded by Negative Power.
At this moment, Xing Chen was still in a coma. Although the side effects of Seven Kill Blood Seal! Seven Kill Transformation! had passed, his body and soul were extremely weak. Even with the protection of the Mysterious Jade Pendant, he was still struggling on the brink of death.
At this moment, the Negative Power was like a life-saving elixir; as long as there was enough Negative Power, he could quickly recover.
Although he had not yet awakened, he was no longer in mortal danger.
"What exactly is inside Chen Er? Not only can it break through my electric net while the master is unconscious, but it can also absorb the surrounding Negative Power to heal him. Could that truly be the Inheritance of the Six Desires Demon Lord?"
Yun Qing looked at the ground, feeling puzzled. At this moment, even he began to doubt whether Xing Chen had truly obtained the Inheritance of the Six Desires Demon Lord.
If not, how could one explain this phenomenon? But if he really had obtained the Inheritance, then the Diviner would absolutely not consider him a savior of the Eastern Region, a new king of the Eastern Region!
About an hour later, Xing Chen finally showed some signs of movement. The influx of Negative Power surrounding him began to slow down, and his tightly closed eyes started to tremble slightly, as if they were about to open at any moment.
"Is he going to wake up?" Yun Qing stared intently at Xing Chen. After such a long time and having absorbed so much Negative Power, he was curious about how exactly Xing Chen managed to absorb it all. Therefore, when Xing Chen woke up this time, Yun Qing paid extra attention, not blinking as he watched him closely, afraid of missing any detail.
"Where... where am I?" After a while, Xing Chen finally opened his eyes. He looked around and then shook his head vigorously until he remembered what happened before he fell unconscious.
"Chen Er, how do you feel?" At this moment, Yun Qing stepped forward and asked as he looked at Xing Chen.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy," Xing Chen shook his head vigorously again. Soon, he felt a wave of weakness surge within him, and then everything went dark as he nearly fainted.
"Chen Er..." Yun Qing quickly reached out and supported the collapsing Xing Chen. At the same time, a spark of electricity coursed through his palm, and when it touched Xing Chen's body, a tingling sensation instantly brought him back to consciousness.
"Master, why are we back at Sword Mound?" After a moment of recovery, Xing Chen slowly spoke up.
"We have no choice; the people from the Demon Sect are just too strong. We can only come here to take refuge," Yun Qing said with a hint of bitterness in his smile. As the leader of the Azure Cloud Gang, he had never been defeated since establishing the gang in the Eastern Region. Yet today, he encountered two individuals capable of defeating him, one of whom was merely around twenty years old but possessed such strength. It left him feeling embarrassed.
"Demon Sect? Master, what should we do next? Are we going to hide in Sword Mound forever? At this rate, even if we aren't wiped out by the Demon Sect, we will never be able to drive them out of the Eastern Region."
Xing Chen's gaze flickered slightly; he had clearly realized the seriousness of the situation. If things continued like this, they would be forced to hide here for life, and escaping would be nearly impossible.
"We certainly can't hide here forever. We need someone to escape from the Eastern Region and then return after they have cultivated their strength to eliminate the Demon Sect's influence here," Yun Qing said sharply.
"Send someone out? The entire Eastern Region is probably under the control of the Demon Sect right now. Getting someone out of the Eastern Region is practically impossible!" Xing Chen frowned slightly. With the power of the Demon Sect, sealing off the entire Eastern Region would be easy, especially when all the experts were gathered together; they could easily block off Sword Mound.
"I initially thought so too, but there is always a way out. Although we currently lack any strength to counterattack, it is still possible to send someone away," Yun Qing smiled and then conveyed Yan Haoxuan's words to Xing Chen.
"The Teleportation Array leading to the sea region?" Xing Chen asked with slight confusion. He only knew about the Five Domains: Southeast, Southwest, Northeast, Northwest, and Central; he had never heard of a sea region before.
"That's right, it's the sea region. Although its strength is much weaker than that of the other domains, it far surpasses our current Eastern Region. Moreover, while there is no Divine Weapon guarding it, there is a Dragon Ball that suppresses the fortune of the entire sea region."
"If you can obtain this Dragon Ball and bring it back to the Eastern Region, then even if our Eastern Region cannot recreate the glory of Ancient Times, it definitely won't be bullied by a mere Demon Sect."
Yun Qing's eyes glinted with cold light as he spoke. Although he had never been to the sea region, he still had some understanding based on historical records. According to those records, countless islands stood in the sea region, each controlled by a powerful force. Most importantly was that Dragon Ball that suppressed fortune.
It was said that this Dragon Ball was left behind by a Divine Dragon capable of controlling its own fate. Although it was inferior to the Five Divine Weapons, for an Eastern Region that had lost its Azure Dragon Divine Weapon, this Dragon Ball was undoubtedly the best way to save it.
As long as there is this Dragon Ball, the fortune of the Eastern Region will not only stop flowing away but will even slowly accumulate, allowing the people of the Eastern Region to no longer worry about breaking through to the Soul-Searching Realm Expert.
"Dragon Ball?" Xing Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. A Dragon Ball that can suppress fortune must be an existence not weaker than the Five Divine Weapons. To obtain such a thing, it seems that even reaching the Peak of Fate Observation Realm would offer little hope.
"Chen Er, this time after our discussion, we have decided to send you to the sea region. As for that Dragon Ball, you need not worry about it; such things depend entirely on opportunity. Otherwise, no matter what, it cannot be obtained," Yun Qing said slowly.
"Master, do you mean for me to go to the sea region? Then wait until I have enough powerful strength to return and destroy the Demon Sect to save the Eastern Region?" Xing Chen looked at Yun Qing with a puzzled expression.
"That's right, Chen Er. You are the only one suitable to go to the sea region because only you can reach an incredible realm at the fastest speed and then return to destroy the Demon Sect and save the Eastern Region."
Yun Qing nodded. He really couldn't think of anyone else besides Xing Chen who could handle this task. After all, once they reached the sea region, they must quickly become stronger and then return to save the Eastern Region.
However, among everyone, aside from Xing Chen's rapid improvement in cultivation, there was no one else suitable. Although many of them had higher cultivation levels than Xing Chen, when it came to the speed of advancing realms, they couldn't catch up with him.
"Master, are you not afraid that I might not return?" Xing Chen paused for a moment before looking up at Yun Qing and asking slowly.
"Hehe, Master believes in you. As long as you agree, then Master will absolutely trust you. You will not disappoint my expectations and will definitely return with unmatched power," Yun Qing said with a smile.
