Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1557 - 721: Filthy Heart_2

Chen Shi and the others looked at the head in his hands, utterly shocked.

A Ghost God Emperor, the ruler of Fengdu, holding real power over the Ghost God army, unexpectedly died at the hands of the unremarkable Right Heavenly Master Hidden Dragon!

If he had died at the hands of a disciple of the Three Pure Ones Sect or the Western Heaven Buddha, or even the Immortal Emperor, it might be understandable. But to be killed by Right Heavenly Master Hidden Dragon, an unknown with no notable military achievements, was truly surprising.

Hidden Dragon slowly said, "Blindly clinging to the old methods, the Daoist Divine Powers, and letting the powerful dictate, how can one not fail? How can one not die? The era of the Heavenly Court is over."

He looked toward Chen Shi and smiled, "Heavenly King Chen, we should also report back, forgive me for not seeing you off. Once the door opens, you can leave the North Sea."

Chen Shi turned around, hugged Chen Yindou, then hugged Creation Little Five, and said to Cui Zhenzhen, "Let's go."

Cui Zhenzhen followed him.

Hidden Dragon laughed behind them, "Heavenly King Chen, you also learned the Primordial Talisman, right? By rights, I should eliminate you to avoid future trouble. But I still cannot break the bonds of teacher and disciple. If you can survive, perhaps you will witness a new era."

Chen Shi pushed open the door and left the courtyard together with Cui Zhenzhen.

He looked back to see the black door slowly closing.

The words 'Nanshan Villa' were written on the door lintel, indeed in Du Yiran's handwriting.

"What a peculiar magical treasure," Cui Zhenzhen murmured.

For a True Immortal like her, the experience was truly surreal—Chen Yindou, Hidden Dragon creating the Primordial Talisman, slaying Beidi, and all these bizarre Daoist skills, things she would never see in the North Sea.

However, Chen Shi seemed slightly somber: "Hidden Dragon targeting Beidi was definitely not an accidental choice. His purpose in killing Beidi was to leave the Ghost God army of the underworld leaderless, meaning his actual target is the underworld. But the underworld is my stepmother's Daoist Field, meaning the next target of the Immortal Court is my stepmother!"

Just as he thought of this, Fan Xiao's voice suddenly came, "Why are you here?"

Chen Shi's heart jolted slightly, immediately realizing Hidden Dragon's intention.

Hidden Dragon did not want to personally kill him but also could not let him leave, so as he closed the door to Nanshan Villa, he sent him near his senior brother Fan Xiao!

Chen Shi had killed Heavenly Venerate, Shao Guang, Qi Peipei, and his disciples of the Immortal Emperor Sect, so naturally Fan Xiao would want to kill Chen Shi.

All these were facts known by Hidden Dragon, so he concluded that just by placing Chen Shi near Fan Xiao, Chen Shi was dead for sure.

"This man's scheming is terrifyingly deep."

Chen Shi's eyes flickered, thinking, "In other words, he surely left marks and messages of me planning to dispatch troops to remove the old Jade Emperor, in front of that old Jade Emperor. With that, killing me is practically assured! If I were him, I would do the same."

Chen Shi smiled and looked over, saying, "So it's Senior Brother. I just encountered the Immortal Court Right Heavenly Master Hidden Dragon and teamed up with him to kill Emperor Beiyin, then hurried here. Why are you here too?"

Fan Xiao replied, "I was being pursued by Emperor Tian Peng and fled here. But for some reason, Tian Peng suddenly turned back and left."

He had been chased by Emperor Tian Peng for over half a year, constantly fighting and fleeing, unable to use any Star Shuttle to escape Tian Peng. Although distressed, through numerous battles, he had become more powerful than ever, and his Daoist practice had also improved.

Fan Xiao politely said, "Chen Shi, I have furthered my understanding of the Hongmeng Division, I feel ready to break your move and would like to ask for your guidance again."

Chen Shi was happy and smiled, "Why not?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Cui Zhenzhen's expression was peculiar, silently thinking, "Chen Heavenly King knows that once Fan Xiao breaks this move, he will kill him, so why does he agree every time?"

The two simultaneously struck, sword light shaken through heaven and earth, like plunging into chaotic Hongmeng. In the face of this terrifying sword move, Fan Xiao was not afraid, wielding his sword to unleash his self-comprehended strongest sword move, confronting the Hongmeng Division!

Amidst the sound of roaring collisions, the heavens-rupturing Sword Qi dissipated.

Fan Xiao looked down, his face slightly somber, seeing his new outfit cut open by Chen Shi using Xuanhuang Sword Qi, with a character far more complex than the "Xiao" from his name.

Cui Zhenzhen pointed her finger, poking him on the back, whispering, "Mr. Fan, your back."

Fan Xiao was slightly startled, "What about my back?"

"There's also a character on the back," Cui Zhenzhen said.

Fan Xiao pulled his clothing over his back a little and twisted his head to see, indeed Chen Shi had also written a character on his back with Sword Qi.

His face was uncertain, his Dao Heart greatly shaken, with a feeling of disillusionment.

This half year, he felt his Daoist practice had greatly increased, and his understanding of the Hongmeng Division had reached a new height. He didn't expect that when facing Chen Shi again, not only did he not advance, he had regressed!

The character was far more complicated than the "Xiao" character, especially since there were characters on both front and back!

For a moment, his killing intent surged: "I can't break his Hongmeng Division, I could never break his Hongmeng Division! This move simply has no flaws, I might never be able to break it in my lifetime! Can I never avenge my junior brothers and sisters? Can I never become Daluo?"

His murderous aura grew deeper: "Kill him! Since I can't become Daluo, then kill him to avenge my junior brothers and sisters! Maybe once he is dead, I can walk out of the defects in my Dao Heart!"

At this moment, Chen Shi's voice came, "Fan Xiao, in the past I too believed I had captured the mysteries of the Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture, until I was defeated miserably under the Candao Cliff of our teacher. Do you know how I grasped the wonders of the Hongmeng Division?"
