Chapter 88: Chapter 78 Chen Chaonan

Guo Huijun and Liu Suiyun both turned and stared at Xia Jingjue. They had never expected that Xia Jingjue would make such a judgment.

“I don’t dare to believe this is the truth either. But the facts are here, forcing me to make such an estimate.”

Guo Huijun’s answer was very helpless. She should be the one who trusts Xu Zhaori the most. Such a judgment should be made by her instead of Xia Jingjue in front of her. As soon as Xia Jingjue saw Liu Suiyun appear, he was the first to betray Xu Zhaori. In her impression, Xia Jingjue is extremely brave and acts without hesitation. But he is far from being extremely wise and intelligent. She doesn’t know what is the reason that prompted him to make this judgment: “If you want me to believe your judgment, give me a reason!”

Xia Jingjue hesitated for a long time. In the end, he helplessly swung his big spear in a circle and finally summoned up his courage and said: “Because the one who cut off his own genitals with a sword is me…”

“You…”

Liu Suiyun was shocked speechless by the honesty of his old subordinate. He had never expected that this fearless, loyal and reliable comrade-in-arms is actually an out-and-out eunuch?

He had never thought about this aspect before. Because Xia Jingjue is so reliable, so worthy of reliance, so brave, and so selfless. He is too far from the sinister and vicious image of eunuchs in legends.

“You are right. I, Xia Jingjue, am an eunuch. For this Extreme Severance Skill, I did it to myself. All this is for Pang Jiangshan. For a woman, that’s why I was so cruel to myself…”

Liu Suiyun and Guo Huijun didn’t ask in detail what exactly happened to Xia Jingjue. This must be a very embarrassing past.

Liu Suiyun once said that he rescued Xia Jingjue from the death cell of the Pang family. After that, Xia Jingjue was unswervingly opposed to the Pang family and killed countless elites of the Pang family. Perhaps it was all for this woman named Pang Jiangshan.

Xia Jingjue continued: “Your eyes, the stories you hear, and your impressions have deceived you. As a eunuch, I know better than you what will happen after making such a choice. Everything that Lord Xu shows now proves that he is definitely not a pure eunuch. I think he also has his own difficulties.”

Liu Suiyun shook his head. Xia Jingjue’s words gave him a lot of inspiration. But now the most crucial problem is to find Xu Zhaori first and figure it out: “Old Xia, thank you. Anyway! You are still the old Xia I trust the most. Let’s go to the fifth layer!”

Guo Huijun has already walked in front with her sword and shield. Perhaps it was Xia Jingjue’s words that stimulated her. Now she really uses her sword to open the way directly. The mausoleum guards along the way are often cut into two pieces by her with one sword.

But after entering the fifth layer, the entire situation changes again. Liu Suiyun even doubts that with so many resources, a Nascent Soul cultivator can almost be created. Although the tomb guards in front are just dead things and have been swept by Xu Zhaori, An Zhiyu, and the Supreme Demon Sect several times, their strength cannot be underestimated. At least they have the strength close to the Foundation Establishment stage, and there are quite a large number of them.

If it weren’t for the fact that Guo Huijun’s combat power can already compete with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and Liu Suiyun has just broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, it would really be difficult to end. As for Xia Jingjue, he is still the same as before, loyal, reliable, brave, and worthy of reliance. But Liu Suiyun’s look at him has changed a lot.

He had never thought that so many precious virtues would appear on an eunuch. Perhaps he has been misled too much in normal times.

But soon he focused his attention on the constantly operating Five Peaks Talisman. Although it is only temporarily stored on Liu Suiyun’s body, Liu Suiyun has established a connection of sharing the same fate with this Five Peaks Talisman that the Xu family spent three generations cultivating.

He has vaguely understood why the Xu family took the wrong path. They regarded this talisman as a parasite and never allowed the devouring nature of the Five Peaks Talisman to be satisfied. They always kept this Five Peaks Talisman in a state of semi-hunger. How could such a Five Peaks Talisman repay them.

This is a path of getting half the result with twice the effort. Now through the precious spiritual power emanating from the Five Peaks Talisman, Liu Suiyun feels like a seedling moistened by spring rain, constantly growing and thriving. He even has a feeling that if such spiritual power continues to emanate, perhaps this Five Peaks Talisman will help him directly establish the foundation.

Establishing the foundation without a Foundation Establishment Pill?

Liu Suiyun couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. How is this possible?

It is said that many ancient powerful cultivators succeeded in establishing the foundation directly without the need for a Foundation Establishment Pill. But in recent times, cultivators cannot establish the foundation without a Foundation Establishment Pill. Among a thousand cultivators who succeed in establishing the foundation, at most only two or three people succeed in establishing the foundation without relying on the medicinal power of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

For a small cultivator like him, a Foundation Establishment Pill is really too luxurious. Even though Liu Suiyun has many ways, it is still too far away. Even if it can be exchanged with a thousand great merits in the sect, it will take at least ten years. Perhaps he can try to take the path of establishing the foundation without a pill through the Five Peaks Talisman?

But soon Liu Suiyun thought that even if he wanted to take the path of the Five Peaks Talisman, he had to find Xu Zhaori first. After all, this Five Peaks Talisman is a secret passed down for many generations in the Xu family.

As soon as Liu Suiyun thought of this, there were bursts of fighting sounds and the clashing of metal in front. Guo Huijun’s eyes lit up, and there was a seemingly very gentle smile on the corner of her mouth: “Oh, finally I can show my skills…”

Liu Suiyun could see that Guo Huijun was actually very nervous. Because after excluding that possibility, the answer she could get might be even more cruel. That’s why she comforted herself in this way.

Liu Suiyun couldn’t help but swallow another Golden Spirit Qi-Boosting Pill to avoid being unable to continue at a crucial moment. The Five Peaks Talisman directly turned his body upside down: “Huijun, no matter what, don’t worry. This Five Peaks Talisman should belong to you!”

No matter what magical effects the Five Peaks Talisman has, Liu Suiyun is still willing to let it return to Guo Huijun.

Guo Huijun didn’t respond to Liu Suiyun. The three continued to walk in a triangular formation. After walking more than a hundred steps, the corridor became wider and there were more fork roads. If it weren’t for Guo Huijun who had explored with Xu Zhaori several times, perhaps everyone could only keep turning in circles on this fifth layer.

Liu Suiyun couldn’t help but hold the Heavenly Tear Starfall Sword. Just when a big strange bird actually flew through the air and came crashing down, he immediately waved the Heavenly Tear Starfall Sword. A golden light sword about a foot long disappeared without a trace and fought with this big bird. As soon as they fought, Liu Suiyun felt something was wrong.

Guo Huijun didn’t expect that there would be a strong opponent who could control spiritual birds on the opposite side. After she put on the spiritual armor, although she had astonishing combat power, she had few ways to deal with such spiritual birds flying in the air. She could only be vigilant and stay where she was. But after watching Liu Suiyun control the light sword and fight with this strange bird, she blurted out: “Paper Figurine! This is a Paper Figurine!”

“It turns out to be an old acquaintance!”

A familiar figure appeared in Liu Suiyun’s field of vision. Liu Suiyun recognized at a glance that this person was Chen Chaonan, the cultivator who had reached the great accomplishment of Qi Refining invited by Xu Zhaori. But behind him were also two flowery-robed cultivators of the Supreme Demon Sect: “So you are from the Supreme Demon Sect? When did you enter the tomb?”

“It’s great that an old acquaintance has come!” Chen Chaonan didn’t hide his killing intent at all: “Fortunately, I hurried as fast as I could and finally blocked you here. If I let you enter the mausoleum chamber of the True Lord, wouldn’t it ruin the great event…”

Guo Huijun has already understood: “So there is another entrance to the Beihe Mausoleum.”

“Yes!” Chen Chaonan said very confidently: “Miss Guo, I have set up the formation of soldiers, chariots, and horses figurines. Once the formation is activated, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator will find it difficult to resist. You are naturally beautiful but unfortunately followed Xu Zhaori, that short-lived ghost. Now you are a widow. Why don’t you just obey me?”

“What did you say?” Guo Huijun was greatly shocked: “What happened to Zhaori?”

Chen Chaonan laughed very happily: “I stabbed him in the back with a sword and sent him to the underworld. Even several of his skills have fallen into my hands. It’s a pity that the Cicada Transformation and Body Refining Scripture is not on him. What a pity… Now as long as Miss Guo turns around and kills these two nobodies for me, I will marry you as my legitimate wife.”

“Yayaya… How is this possible?” Guo Huijun’s eyes widened and rounded. She repeatedly asked: “How could you have succeeded in ambushing Zhaori? How is this possible!”

“Who told him to be so unsuspecting…” As soon as Chen Chaonan said this, he suddenly shouted loudly: “Bitch, I will tear you to pieces…”

Liu Suiyun and Guo Huijun cooperated extremely well. As soon as he heard Guo Huijun say “yayaya”, he was fully prepared to act. Sure enough, Guo Huijun suddenly unbelievably leaped forward more than twenty steps in one breath and landed right in front of Chen Chaonan. She slashed at Chen Chaonan with her sword.

And Liu Suiyun also used a light body technique and rushed in front of a cultivator of the Supreme Demon Sect. He punched with a “tiger pouncing on the heart”. Even Xia Jingjue used his killer move. Although his speed was a little slower than that of Guo Huijun and Liu Suiyun, his big spear had already locked onto the current flowery-robed cultivator.

But Chen Chaonan is not so easy to deal with. As soon as Guo Huijun slashed over, there was already a fully armed armored warrior in front of him. It was a paper warrior figurine that jumped out at some unknown time.

This paper figurine is not like the dozens of paper figurines at the beginning whose whole body is a piece of white paper. A few strokes with colored brushes are applied on the key parts, and its strength has also been greatly improved.

Guo Huijun’s silver sword struck the round shield in front of him. This extremely powerful strike actually didn’t break open this paper shield. It just knocked this paper figurine back two or three steps. And Liu Suiyun’s “tiger pouncing on the heart” was also like hitting water. It was directly bounced back.

Xia Jingjue’s big spear also didn’t succeed. Over there, he exclaimed: “Commander, this is not a living person. This seems to be a paper figurine too…”

“That’s right… This is not a paper figurine. Taste the formation of soldiers, chariots, and horses figurines I set up!”

With Chen Chaonan’s order, Liu Suiyun and the others were already surrounded.
