I Collect Skill Fragments in the Demon World-Chapter 570 - 297: Six-Colored Flames in the Eight Trigrams Furnace (Part 2)

That was his life-bound flying sword dug out from the ancient tomb, that sword was his life!

But his own flying sword was not only taken by this beast, it was also melted down. How do you expect him to survive the Yang Shen calamity?

When the calamity descends, there will only be a path to death!

The opponent not only destroyed his flying sword but also his life.

"Everyone leave, I have something to say to Zhang Chen and Mr. Wuliu." Zhang Xiaohua, enduring the pain, waved everyone away, leaving only Mr. Wuliu, Prince Pingbian, and Zhang Chen.

At this moment, Prince Pingbian looked at Zhang Chen with eyes filled with a touch of murderous intent, sitting silently aside.

He recognized Zhang Chen; previously, when Zhang Chen stormed the discussion site during the heart-to-heart talk between Chen Sanliang and Mr. Wu, many soldiers of Prince Pingbian’s mansion died at Zhang Chen’s hands. How could Prince Pingbian not have a deep impression of Zhang Chen?

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly retreated. Zhang Xiaohua turned his gaze to Mr. Wuliu, giving him a look: "Teacher, now I want to reconcile with Zhang Chen, turn hostility into friendship, and become as close as brothers. Could you please let go of this grudge on my behalf? As for your loss, my mansion will compensate you in full."

At this point, Zhang Xiaohua said in a sincere tone: "We had misunderstandings before, but they’ve all been cleared up now. Surely you can give me some face?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wuliu glanced at Zhang Xiaohua, then glared at Zhang Chen, finally lowering his head in anger: "Well, since the young prince has spoken, what qualification do I, a subordinate, have to refute? Boy, consider yourself lucky to have the young prince’s protection, otherwise, I would not have spared you today."

Zhang Xiaohua, enduring the pain, turned to Zhang Chen: "Zhang Chen, you should go. In the future, Mr. Wuliu will not trouble you, and you should also avoid provoking him."

Zhang Chen looked calmly at Mr. Wuliu and Zhang Xiaohua, then bowed with clasped fists to Mr. Wuliu: "Your magnanimity, sir, is truly admirable. I thank you, sir."

After speaking, Zhang Chen left.

When Zhang Chen had gone far, Mr. Wuliu, seething with anger, looked at Zhang Xiaohua: "Crown Prince, I have a blood vendetta with that Zhang Chen. Why did you act as a mediator for him?"

"Teacher, you don’t know, I still need that kid for something. Once it’s done, I’ll personally capture him for you to do as you please, to cut him into pieces as you wish." Zhang Xiaohua’s voice was full of coldness.

Meanwhile, Zhang Chen hurried away, and when he reached a secluded corner, he transformed into a stream of water that seeped into the soil, returning to the pavilion where Zhang Xiaohua was and hid under the tiles to eavesdrop secretly.

He heard Zhang Xiaohua ask: "Father, why are you here?"

"It’s all because of the Tree of Life Coffin. Huangli Temple invited me to verify its authenticity. By the way, how is the task Mr. Bai Cang assigned to you?" Prince Pingbian said.

"Already completed. But whether it will succeed depends on the fortune within the jade fragment." Zhang Xiaohua replied: "Mr. Bai Cang has already verified it, and the power of the ancient Water God’s law stored within the jade fragment is gradually reviving with the Power of Incense from the Yellow Heaven Dao. Whether we can replace it, using the ancient Water God’s power to seize the authority of the Miluo River Water God, covertly replacing it, depends on fortune."

"But once successful, I’m afraid Yellow Heaven Dao will turn against us. Yellow Heaven Dao should not be underestimated..." At this point, Zhang Xiaohua felt some hesitation.

"How can someone else’s Water God be as reassuring as having our own?" Mr. Wuliu sighed softly beside him: "Besides, we’ve already negotiated with Gu Mingyue, and when the arrow is on the string, there’s no choice but to shoot. Even if Gu Mingyue is angry, he has to swallow his pride. Furthermore, the Northern Land is vast enough, with our support, a mere fortune of the Miluo River is nothing."

Under the tiles, Zhang Chen listened to the conversation above and was secretly startled: "It seems something big is happening inside Yellow Heaven Dao? Prince Pingbian’s mansion and Yellow Heaven Dao are both making moves. Huangli Temple is practically a powder keg now. But Liu Feng and Gu Mingyue are smart, secretly inviting Prince Pingbian to verify in the underground chamber. This way, they easily exposed my lie, which is quite amusing."

Then Zhang Xiaohua started discussing his injuries with Prince Pingbian and touched on the Ancient Gods and Demons’ bodies, mentioning being targeted by the Ancient Gods and Demons, leaving Prince Pingbian and the others in a panic.

Since Zhang Xiaohua was targeted, how far behind could they be?

One might fear that once Zhang Xiaohua is dealt with, it will be their turn next, right?

Zhang Chen listened for half the day, and when he saw everyone disperse, he quietly returned to his courtyard, digesting the information he had obtained, murmuring: "On the day of the God Sealing Ceremony, there will surely be a major upheaval. I must inform Xie Lingyun beforehand to prepare, lest we be caught off guard."

Zhang Chen transformed into a stream of water and descended the mountain, stopping at the foot of the mountain, looking afar at the Huangli Temple, tightly encircled by a hundred thousand troops, and thought to himself: "I don’t know how Xie Lingyun plans to slay the God under the watch of these hundred thousand troops. It’s well known that slaying a God isn’t that simple. With such a vast army, even a Yang God expert would not dare act recklessly."

Zhang Chen emerged from the water stream, transformed into a bat, and took flight to his Eight Trigrams Furnace, signaling his undercover spies to relay the message before entering the furnace to check on the progress of the treasures being melted within.

Inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace, flames roared fiercely. At some point, the flames had turned multicolored.

"Six colors?" Zhang Chen noticed the six-colored flames inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace, his eyes revealing curiosity.

The power of the six-colored flames was incredibly fierce, at least ten times more potent than before. The entire furnace echoed with the whooshing wind, making Zhang Chen secretly amazed. Under the fierce power of these flames, the earth-yellow bead finally began to show signs of being unable to withstand and started shattering its restraints. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"What are these six-colored flames?" Zhang Chen stared at the six-colored flames inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace, a look of surprise in his pupils.

"Zhang Chen, why did you call me down the mountain again?"

Xie Lingyun’s voice echoed outside the cave. The power of the flames within the Eight Trigrams Furnace was too strong. Even with the furnace’s confinement, the formidable power of Supreme Yang made Xie Lingyun’s Yin Spirit afraid to approach.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen walked out of the stone cave, looked at Xie Lingyun’s Yin Spirit, smiled, and said: "You know, elder sister, I wouldn’t call you here without a significant reason."

Saying this, Zhang Chen didn’t beat around the bush and recounted the day’s events.

"That Mr. Wuliu wishes nothing more than to cut you into pieces, yet he has to endure it to help Zhang Xiaohua get me. It’s truly laughable." Xie Lingyun couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, her tone filled with an indescribable oddity.

"You can still laugh. Prince Pingbian dispatched a hundred thousand troops to surround the temple. Let’s see how you plan to slay the God then." Zhang Chen retorted grumpily.

"Slaying a God doesn’t mean doing it on the spot. Once the Divine Spirit is enthroned and the temple experts have left, it won’t be too late to act," Xie Lingyun wasn’t the least bit hurried and replied with a smile: "But from what you said, I can roughly guess that on the day of the God Sealing Ceremony, there will certainly be a major commotion at Huangli Temple. Whether Huangli Temple can handle it remains to be seen."

The two chatted for a while, then Xie Lingyun changed the topic, pointing to the cave and asked: "What are those flames in your Eight Trigrams Furnace? Why is their power so fierce that I don’t even dare to get close?"

Her voice was filled with caution as she had an inexplicable intuition that if she entered the cave, she’d be instantly vaporized by that terrifying power of Supreme Yang.
