Talisman Emperor
Chapter 298 After the Battle
This clear sound was like smoke billowing out in every inch of heaven and earth, causing one to be unable to pinpoint exactly where the owner of the voice was hiding.
Yonglin's heart turned cold and the flames of rage all over his body subsided like a tidewater, and he instantly became calm and solemn as he swept around with his gaze and said in a low voice, "Since you know my nickname, then what's the point of hiding yourself? "
"Hidden? Why should I hide when dealing with a demon like you? ”Amidst the thin and clear sound, the snow-white clouds condensed rapidly before turning into a tall, thin, middle-aged man, and handsome with a three-stringed long beard under his jaw. He stood in the sky with his hands behind his back as if he was fused into one with heaven and earth, and his entire body looked like an illusion.
"Worldly Heavenly Sect Master, Cao Zhiqiu!" Disciple Yonglin widened as his heart sank to the bottom, and there was only one thought in his mind – Go!
However, he immediately felt despair as his gaze swept around, as a group of cultivators had appeared around him. There were young and old, men and women among these cultivators, and all of their auras were formidable and revealed a strength that was no lower than the Rebirth Realm!
Moreover, Yonglin had learned that other than a few Eternal Earth Realm experts who had secluded themselves from the world for several thousand years, all the higher-ups of the Heavenly Earth Sect had actually mobilized at this moment.
I'm destined!
I might not be able to escape the disaster today!
Yonglin gave up completely, and the bitterness in his heart was the most extreme when he saw Sikong Hen's corpse without a head. The child he saw growing up had died, and he himself would not live long.
“20 years ago, my Junior Sister, Miao Qing, suffered all sorts of humiliations from you before being tortured to death. I, Cao Zhiqiu, swore on that day that I would not rest until I annihilated you, Cheng Yonglin. This vow has been like an inner demon that has been fiercely torturing me for 20 years, causing me to be unable to eat or sleep quietly and unable to enter the Eternal Earth Realm for a long time. "Cao Zhiqiu's eyes were like the night sky as the scenery changed constantly within them, yet his voice was extremely flat as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing. “Now, my chance has finally come. As long as I kill you, my inner demons will be eliminated, and advancing to the Eternal Earth Realm will not be far out of reach for me anymore. ”
Yonglin had never imagined at all that a female disciple of the Eternal Earth Sect he had brutally killed so many years ago would actually cause Cao Zhiqiu to make such a heavy oath. At this moment, he could not help but be horrified as he listened to Cao Zhiqiu's flat, emotionless voice, and his entire body turned cold as if he had fallen into an ice hole.
"Hmph! If you want to kill me, kill me! What's with all that shit? ”The figure of Yonglin trembled as the terrifying qi in his body gushed out violently like a tide, and then he turned around to try to get out of the siege. Even though he knew that he would die for sure, he still wanted to try, otherwise, he would feel dissatisfied.
"Can you run away?" A trace of icy cold humiliation struck the corner of Cao Zhiqiu's mouth as he took a step forward in the air, and his figure moved between voidness and reality, the source said, causing his tall and skinny figure to have teleported to arrive in front of Yonglin in the next moment, then he raised his hand before slapping him.
A very simple palm strike that did not contain the slightest aura of power, yet heaven and earth seemed to have become a part of this palm, and it carried the power of heaven and earth, it makes one unable to resist or avoid it.
Yonglin roared loudly as he used up all the energy in his entire body and condensed it within his arms before using it to block before him. But, all of this was just a futile effort as Cao Zhiqiu's palm directly crushed his hand before pressing against his chest.
Bang out!
His bones, tendons, and flesh shattered into pieces one after another as Yonglin's entire body was like a piece of cloth that had been torn apart, he said, and he turned into countless small pieces of bloody pulp that gushed into the air. An expert in the Rebirth Realm who looked down on the world was actually unable to withstand even a single strike from Cao Zhiqiu, and he instantly lost his life and died so tragically.
"20 years… . I finally freed myself …. "Cao Zhiqiu withdrew his palm and his entire demeanor seemed to have changed completely. It was as if he had broken the shackles in his heart, making it appear thinner and like a lonely pine tree that lifted the sky. No matter how heaven and earth changed, or how time changed, it would remain unshakable, and this change caused it to emit a hint of an immortal aura.
"Happy Sect Master for eliminating the demon within you. You will definitely ascend to the Earthly Eternal Realm in the future and strive to obtain immortality from the heavens! "All the elders of the Rebirth Realm from the Heavenly Earth Sect bowed and congratulated consecutively.
Cao Zhiqiu smiled, and then his gaze came out to descend onto a cold young man and said with a smile. “Moxuan, you have done an amazing service today. After we return to the sect, Master will personally forge a heaven-shaking sword for you to help you shine brightly at the Allstar Meeting and spread the power of my Earth Heavenly Sect! ”
This person was exactly Lin Moxuan. He was slightly stunned before kneeling down and bowing to the ground, and his voice carried a trace of excitement. "Thank you, Master, for your incredible kindness!"
It was due to a fortuitous luck that he happened to see Sikong Hen leading a group of Golden Core Realm disciples and storming out of the city last night during a rainstorm, and he had the urge to follow through on it. He never imagined that the target chasing after Sikong Hen would actually be his 'old friend' Chen Xi. So he immediately hid himself with the intention of waiting for the right moment to take action. Not only did he want to reclaim his own Magic Treasure, he wanted to take all the treasures Chen Xi had.
However, when he watched Chen Xi kill some Golden Core Realm disciples from the Sikong Clan in a few breaths before fighting on balance with Yonglin who was in the Rebirth Realm with cultivation at the perfection stage from the Golden Hall Realm, he was instantly stunned in his heart and barely dared to believe his eyes. This kind of fact caused him to have no choice but to extinguish the thoughts in his heart.
But, he was also unwilling to let go, so he sent the transmission jade slip back to the sect a long time ago and attempted to rely on the sect's strength to exterminate Chen Xi. This way, even though he was unable to monopolize all the treasures Chen Xi possessed, it would be considered a great merit.
As expected, when he heard Sect Master wanted to personally forge a sword for him, Lin Moxuan knew that he had made the right decision this time. But, there was still a trace of regret in his heart since Chen Xi had already escaped when the Sect Master rushed over. This way, his intention of wanting to obtain the treasure that Chen Xi possessed had become a dream.
"Do you feel sorry that you can't kill Chen Xi?" Suddenly, Cao Zhiqiu arrived at Lin Moxuan's side and sighed. "That little boy can't be killed. At least, he can't die at the hands of an old man like me. Otherwise, it would definitely cause havoc for my Earth Heavenly Sect. ”
Lin Moxuan was stunned and did not seem to dare to believe, and then he seemed to think of something. "What does Master mean is that only we juniors can move against him?"
Traces of praise flashed in Cao Zhiqiu's eyes. "Absolutely. It was considered a spar between those of this same generation if you all made a move against him, and the child could only blame his skills for being inferior if he died. But if we move against it, it will be the actions of parents who bully young people. At that time, even if we kill the child, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
Lin Moxuan gathered up courage and asked. “Master, exactly what background does that person have? Why are you so scared of him? ”
"Even all the old people in the Darchu Dynasty did not dare to act recklessly?" Lin Moxuan instantly looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and he felt unable to comprehend the meaning behind it.
"Let's go . The Sikong Clan actually dared to hide Cheng Yonglin for 20 years, and I must make them repay this debt properly! ”Although Cao Zhiqiu's tone was flat, yet it revealed a murderous feeling.
Lin Moxuan knew that even if the Sikong Clan was not annihilated because of this, the vitality of the clan would suffer enormous losses.

The atmosphere in the Sikong Clan's discussion room was heavy to the point of suffocating.
The current patriarch, Sikong Xiaoyun, was sitting upright and quietly in the middle, and although he remained silent, but his face was heavy, ferocious, was, and the dignified contained an ominous expression that frightened all the elders in the room to a point of silence.
Sikong Hua stood at the farthest end with an anxious and fearful expression as if she was sitting on a needle carpet.
Just a moment ago, the scouts had sent word back that his brother Sikong Hen and the 18 Golden Core Realm disciples from the clan had been killed, and even the Rebirth Realm expert, Uncle Yonglin, had been killed, has perished.
This was undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to the entire Sikong Clan, yet it was not to the point of causing the entire clan to fall. Right now, the thing that caused everyone in the entire Sikong Clan to become agitated was that the Heavenly Earth Sect actually sent out an order ordering the Sikong Clan to hand over 50% of the clan's resources, and the deadline is three days and with no room to delay.
It was 50% of the clan's resources! If they were to hand it over, the entire Sikong Clan would probably become the second level clan of Maple Leaf Town overnight! A blow like this was something they simply could not accept.
"Because Hener is dead, take care of Huaer. Since our resources are gone, we will temporarily go into seclusion for a period of time. The Heavenly Earth Sect has no intention to exterminate our clan. As long as we live, everything else can be taken back. Xiaoyun, do you understand what I mean? ”Just when the atmosphere in the room became more and more heavy and pressing onto everyone until they could not catch their breath, an old and heavy voice suddenly sounded in the room, and every word spoken was like a muffled thunder that illuminated the sleeping ones.
The ancestor!
Everyone's expressions became excited when they heard this, yet when they discerned the meaning within the Ancestor's words, they felt sad and helpless.
"Don't worry, Ancestor, I know what to do. I'm sorry to bother you with this incident. '' Sikong Xiaoyun took a deep breath as she stood up and cupped her hands behind the room.
The old and heavy voice sighed deeply and did not say anything more before disappearing without a trace, and it was as if he had never appeared.
"From today onwards, everyone is forbidden from taking a step out of the clan!
"From today onwards, Huaer will enter the limited area of the clan to cultivate the Corrosion Dao Insights and replace Hen'er, the new leader, and he had to advance to the Golden Core Realm within a year to participate in the Allstar Meeting.
“Remember this humiliation and work boldly to change it. Everyone, let's fight together! ”
Many orders came out from Sikong Xiaoyun's mouth and echoed in the discussion room. When everyone received their orders and left, only Sikong Hua and Sikong Xiaoyun were left. Sikong Xiaoyun couldn't stand it anymore and sat down miserably on his charcoal as intense fatigue came out from between his eyebrows, and he looked like he was already very old.
"Dad!" Sikong Hua felt very sad in his heart when he saw this scene, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "This is all because of that damned Chen Xi. If it wasn't for him, how could an older brother die? How could the traces of Uncle Yonglin be exposed? How could the Heavenly Earth Sect come looking for trouble with us? Don't worry, Father, I will definitely kill him and take revenge for big brother someday! ”
Slap on!
Sikong Xiaoyun slapped Sikong Hua as she said in a low voice. "If you dare to speak like that again when you don't have enough strength, I will cripple you myself!"
Sikong Hua completely ignored her swollen face and had an angry expression as her eyes emitted a rare cruel feeling, and then she pursed her lips and said nothing more before turning around and leaving. However, he said word for word in his heart, “Dad, don't worry. I will definitely give you a big surprise by the time I walk out of the forbidden area one year from now, and I will make you personally allow me to take revenge from Chen Xi! "

In a quiet and elegant room in the Treasure Heaven Pavilion.
"He killed so many people and was even able to escape safely under the eyes of the Earth Heavenly Sect. This guy really ! His strength is so great, yet he did not tell me and made me worry for nothing …. '' As she put down the information that had just been sent, Ya Qing's red lips curved slightly as her starry eyes sparkled, and her white and delicate face was full of vigor. He could stand it no longer and laughed, and his voice was musical and pleasant to the ears like the sound of nature.
The silent eyes of Xin Huan standing beside him flashed with shock that disappeared rapidly when he saw the pile of information on the table.
"But where is this guy now? He didn't even tell me before leaving. heartless, total …. “Ya Qing supported her arched and smooth chin with her hands as her starry eyes looked out the window, and the night sky that was filled with stars was as deep as her eyes.
