Talisman Emperor
Chapter 2123 Provocation
The curtain formed by Heaven Dao energy had descended onto the Slaughter Highlands.
At this moment, the forces from both sides seemed to have stopped fighting simultaneously as if they had a tacit mutual understanding, and the battlefield seemed somewhat silent.
Even to the point that it's a little hard to get used to. After all, the war just now was extraordinarily vast. Shouts shook the sky while the sounds of war drums rumbled like thunder. It was riots. So, when compared to the situation from a moment before, this sudden silence felt quite strange.
Chen Xi even saw a participant from the Dao Dao Protective Clan who was about to decapitate Executioner Sin with a sword. However, his hand instantly stiffened when the Heaven Dao energy curtain descended here. Moreover, it made him sad to the point that he looked extremely angry, but he could only draw his sword and leave.
Such a scene was practically happening in every area of the battlefield.
Regardless of whether it was the experts from the Divine Dao Protector Clans or Dao Defiants, and even if the battle intent in their hearts surged and no matter how reluctant they felt, it was not clear, they had all stopped simultaneously on the descent of the curtain!
After which, the experts from both sides began to recede like waves and move backwards.
Chen Xi could not avoid feeling surprised by this scene, and she asked. “What will happen if they keep fighting?”
“They will be annihilated by the Order of Heaven Dao here. No one survived. ” Jin Yunsheng spoke quickly.
“So that's why.” Chen Xi's eyes narrowed, and then he led Jin Yunsheng and the others towards the area where the Divine Dao Protective Clan was located.
Right at this moment, Chen Xi noticed that when he teleported here from the Fog Forest, he actually appeared near the center of the Dao Defiants army, which was the main city, and his attack forward was equivalent to moving towards the area where the Dao Dao Protective Clan was located .
“Towels! I will definitely take your life when the fight starts again! ”
“You're looking for dead! I Remember your face. If you have the guts, then wait here for the next battle! I'll take my own life if I don't slap you until you beg your mother to save you! “
“Ha ha! Sentiment sounds very good. ”
“Wait just! Damned bastard! “
Chen Xi often encountered Dao Defiants on his way. While both sides had killing intent on their faces and wished for nothing more than killing each other, they could only curse each other. Because they did not dare to attack rashly and could only brush at each other.
Chen Xi did not pay attention to this curse and provocation, and she continued moving forward. Not only did he not relax, he became even more vigilant and cautious.
If not for the situation, Chen Xi would not have been willing to return to the Divine Dao Protector clan encampment like this. But he has no choice now.
Because according to Jin Yunsheng's explanation, any expert who tried to remain on the battlefield once the battle ended would be punished by Heaven Dao and annihilated on the spot.
I have no choice but to meet them. A wisp of coldness flashed across Chen Xi's eyes, and his gaze became deeper and calmer. Moreover, many figures appeared in his mind, and it included Shi Chuge, Tang Xiao’xiao, Suiren Kuanglan, Beiming Canghai, and Xia Ruoyuan.
After which, Chen Xi threw all those figures out of his mind, and there were no further intrusive thoughts in his mind.
Jin Yunsheng who was walking behind Chen Xi suddenly frowned, and he looked at Chen Xi's back with a puzzled expression. At this moment, he suddenly realized that Chen Xi's imposing aura seemed to have changed, and it became unfathomable like a void.
Not long after a stretch of ancient buildings appeared on the distant horizon. It was a stretch of palace made from ancient buildings. Each one of them was over 3 km tall, and they were like many mountains standing towering there.
The palace is completely dark. Just looking at them from afar caused an age aura to attack the face, and it felt like they had already stood there since time immemorial and had experienced countless wars. So, they looked very impressive and sublime.
It was a temporary campsite for the participants of the Divine Dao Protective Clan to rest!
Swish! Swish!
Waves of space fluctuations appeared unceasingly from all directions, and then the figures of countless experts appeared.
They were all participants of the Dao Dao Protective Clan, and they flashed consecutively towards the palace in the distance once they appeared here.
Chen Xi's eyebrows shot up. “Why are they in a hurry?”
“To occupy the palace.” Jin Yunsheng spoke casually. “There are a total of 36 castles there, and each of them has a Divine Pool of Chaos. They provide unimaginable benefits to anyone who cultivates or recovers in them. “
As he finished speaking, Jin Yunsheng's voice could not help but reveal a hint of longing.
“Oh, are there things to watch out for when occupying them?” Chen Xi seemed to be deep in thought.
“Very simple. The strong occupied the palace. However, everyone is from the same side, so we usually don't fight each other. ” Jin Yunsheng spoke quickly. “So, everyone secretly agrees that those with higher battle value will get priority to get palace.”
“It's not necessarily so. For example, some participants from low-level clans had a favorable amount of battle benefits, but how could they dare to fight for the palace with people from medium-level and high-level clans? ” A black-robed man beside Jin Yunsheng suddenly snorted coldly.
Chen Xi had saved a total of 7 cultivators including Jin Yunsheng, and they all followed behind Chen Xi as he headed to the camp.
Lie Zhan’nan's voice carried a strand of displeasure, but there was also helplessness. Indeed, even if it was in terms of occupying a place in the camp, the people from low-level clans could not compete with the participants from middle-level and high-level clans.
Once they tried to fight for those palaces, they would not only offend one person but the entire clan!
“It didn't happen completely either. There were a total of five high-level clans, so they would definitely occupy their respective palaces. Moreover, the 16 middle-tier clans would occupy 16 more palaces. That way, the other 15 palaces would be left for the taking. ” Jin Yunsheng hurriedly explained. He was very clearly aware that Chen Xi was from the Chen Clan's intermediate level, so he was quite worried that Lie Zhan’nan's words would anger Chen Xi.
But it was very clear that his worry was unnecessary as Chen Xi did not react at all.
Chen Xi's gaze was constantly observing the encampment which gradually became clearer in his field of vision, and his expression was calm and indifferent. No one knows what he's thinking.
At this time, many figures were gathered inside the campsite. They had all just returned from the battlefield, and their entire bodies were still covered by a dense aura of blood and killing intent.
Some were drinking wine, some were lying comfortably on the ground and stretching their limbs, some were roaring furiously, some were complaining of not being able to kill even more Dao Defiants right now, some were roaring furiously, some were complaining of not being able to kill even more Dao Defiants now, and next and next.
However, the attention of countless gazes was drawn when Chen Xi's tall figure appeared far in the distance.
That look brought shock, curiosity, and hidden killing intent. There were even some experts who did not hide their thoughts at all, and there were ferocious smiles on their faces while they stared at him as if he was a prey coming right at them.
Chen Xi did not seem to notice any of this and simply walked forward.
However, Jin Yunsheng and the others could not maintain their composure like that. All of their hearts shriveled, and they felt hesitant when they saw the subtle change in the atmosphere in the campground.
If Chen Xi had not saved their lives on the battlefield just now, then they would have completely distanced themselves from Chen Xi without the slightest hesitation.
“You all should not feel so troubled, and you should not bring trouble for yourself because of me. If you want to go, then leave now. Remember that I am not threatening you or joking. ” Chen Xi suddenly stopped moving, and then she spoke without turning around.
These words made many people sigh in relief, and they did not say anything as they hurriedly walked around Chen Xi and entered the camp from different sides.
If anyone else were to witness the people who had just been saved leaving him like cowards, that person would definitely stomp his feet in anger. However, Chen Xi looked extremely calm, and it seemed like she did not care at all.
In Chen Xi's opinion, it was good enough if these people did not turn around and become his enemies, and he really could not insist on anything else.
Jin Yunsheng remained behind, and Chen Xi could not help but be stunned by this. “Why don't you go?”
Jin Yunsheng replied with a question. “What should I leave?”
Chen Xi turned to glance at him before she said, “I hope you don't regret your decision.”
Jin Yunsheng shrugged and said, “After all, I could be considered dead once. Since my life was saved by you, then I naturally have to do something for you. ”
Chen Xi did not speak any further, and she simply turned around and walked towards the encampment.
“Stop there!” However, Chen Xi had just stepped foot into the campground when a skinny man suddenly blocked his path. The man had a proud and cold expression on his face, his hands behind his back, and every movement he made revealed an oppressive aura that was arrogant and haughty.
“You are Chen Xi? You are not welcome at this camp. So, quickly get out of here to avoid making me unable to resist killing you! ” Skinny man lifts his chin and speaks indifferently.
This was a form of provocation and threat, and it was completely unkempt and looked extremely arrogant.
Some of the surrounding participants could not help but reveal seductive gazes and enjoy Chen Xi's misfortune. They seem to be watching the show.
All of these participants were the number one experts among the Ninth Star Region Divine Lords of their clan, and they were all masters who could rule with great authority if they stayed in the Ancient Gods Domain. Experts like this are certainly not idiots. Instead, each of them was meticulous and cunning.
They were all unable to know Chen Xi's strength, so they decided to stand still and watch.
“She Ying Shankun of Ying Clan's intermediate level. He was arrogant, cruel, and cold. ” Jin Yunsheng spoke to Chen Xi through voice transmission and told her about the identity of the skinny man.
However, regardless of whether it was Ying Shankun's provocation or Jin Yunsheng's explanation, Chen Xi didn't seem to hear it at all, and her footsteps maintained their unique rhythm as she moved forward.
Ying Shankun's face sank when he saw that Chen Xi seemed to have ignored him, and his brows fused tightly together. He was not an idiot either, and the only reason he was stepping forward now was to investigate Chen Xi's reaction. If Chen Xi revealed even a trace of fear or weakness, then he would absolutely not hesitate to attack and kill Chen Xi. On the contrary, if Chen Xi made an extremely domineering look, then he would look for a way out and temporarily avoid a conflict with Chen Xi.
But he did not expect that Chen Xi would remain calm, indifferent, and emotionless from start to finish.
This allowed Ying Shankun to acutely notice that the situation seemed a little bad.
