Patrol Captain

"Court?"

Chen Yuan was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but only briefly; his pupils contracted slightly before he returned to normal.

That's consistent with the imperial court's usual behavior.

"It seems you're not surprised!" But the white-robed king's black eyes rolled, and the lake beneath his feet rippled slightly, creating a wave that lifted him up and made him circle Chen Yuan several times. "Or do you know something?"

"Did the imperial court send you?"

This time, the white-robed king's voice was calm, but Chen Yuan sensed the king's malevolence and the chill in the air.

He told himself that this person, who was said to be one of those people from back then, was actually just an immortal king who had been resurrected and awakened his innate wisdom. In reality, he was an absolute demon!

His temperament seems unpredictable!

He doesn't know what happened back then, and you're not going to tell him. Is it polite to ask him these potentially disastrous questions?
Facing the man's piercing gaze, Chen Yuan remained expressionless. "You asked about my identity before, and I told you the truth. Now that you've brought me here, what's the point of asking me these questions?"

"Fight if you want, I'm ready."

"Besides, although I am somewhat interested in your past affairs with the previous dynasty, I am not very interested. I just want to leave this place and go back outside. Whatever commotion there is, it is none of my business."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and placed them behind him. A golden light emanated from his body, and he tilted his head slightly, his aura rising slowly.

The white-robed king, who was several feet above the lake, actually laughed, and his dark eyes gave off a rather eerie feeling.

"Aren't you just like those guys outside, trying to break in on your own? What kind of celestial treasure are you looking for?"

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Isn't the king supposed to be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood? I remember answering that question before."

He had no intention of coming in with those guys; he was the one who instigated them.

"Having said so much, it seems the king still doesn't trust me. In that case, I'll take my leave!"

Chen Yuan looked at the white-robed king with great unease. After their previous battle, Chen Yuan had truthfully provided some information, which was why the king had brought him here. But now, he guessed that these kings had something to say, so he decided to retreat as a means of advancing.

As he spoke, he made a move to lift himself into the air, but at the same time, his internal energy was gathering momentum, and he was prepared for the worst.

During the brief moment of his ascent, the white-robed monarch spoke slowly, his voice becoming deep and resonant.

"Don't you want to know what happened here back then?"

"I thought about it, but not much. If it was just to satisfy my curiosity, and I had to pay some price, I felt it would be better not to know."

Chen Yuan remained clear-headed and continued to ascend, rising even higher than the white-robed monarch.

"What if I could help you break through to the Martial Saint realm?" The white-robed king raised his head, his eyes deep and mysterious. His voice was not loud, but it resounded like thunder in Chen Yuan's ears.

Martial Saint?

The pinnacle of human existence, a realm comparable to that of immortals on earth, is a world that every martial artist in the world yearns for!
Chen Yuan stopped abruptly, his pupils shrinking to golden slits. This monarch had suddenly offered such tempting conditions. The other party had clearly seen that he had now condensed his second golden flower and was just one step away from becoming a Martial Saint!
This final step was both difficult and easy for him; it was just a matter of time.

But to be honest, he was quite tempted. While the Qi points could speed up the process of condensing the primordial spirit into golden flowers, they couldn't replace what was missing, such as strengthening the primordial spirit and merging with the Dao.

However, he couldn't have gotten the king's purpose out of him without realizing it. The other party must have something in mind, given how they had gone from fighting each other to talking to him so much.

He grabbed the armrest and decided it was better to leave now. This person had said that climbing Black Mountain and breaking through the sea of ​​lightning was the only way out of this burial ground!
Just now, this king was struck down by the sea of ​​lightning. He could have chosen to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't. He simply wanted to get some information from this immortal king, but now it seems that the other party is up to something.

"I thank you for your kindness, sir. There's no need for me to worry about it."

As he spoke, his body glowed with golden light, and he ascended into the sky.

Just then, the white-robed king's voice rang in his ear, his tone becoming languid.
"You can't get out."

"This barrier formed by death energy is difficult to enter and difficult to leave. If you are tainted by the death energy of this burial ground, the sea of ​​lightning will sense it. Once you are within a certain distance, it will bring down a lightning tribulation just like mine, which is different from those mountain climbers and demons outside."

"If you don't believe me, go ahead and try it!"

As he spoke, the white-robed king waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned.

Chen Yuan's third eye twitched slightly, but he didn't stop moving. No matter what, he had to try. He couldn't let others lead him by the nose.

Having just traveled with the white-robed king, Chen Yuan was familiar with the route. He rode the wind and transformed into a golden light, tearing apart this dark and desolate land and rushing straight up the black mountain.

The scenery remains the same.

Looking again, it's still terrifying.

Chen Yuan soared upwards, his eyes shimmering with golden light. Even now, seeing that dazzling sea of ​​lightning again, he still felt immense pressure. He continued upwards, his entire body tense, his aura locked, like a cheetah lurking in the darkness. When he surpassed the position where the white-robed king had stood, and the sea of ​​lightning remained still, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but began to doubt the truth of the king's words.

However, as he continued to climb for about a mile, suddenly, a loud bang was heard from the sea of ​​thunder in the sky.

A sense of alarm immediately rose in Chen Yuan's heart, and his gaze sharpened.

A vortex appeared in the sea of ​​lightning, and a blood-red lightning pillar struck down. It was not as thick as the white-robed monarch, but it was still terrifying and as fiery as blood.

"Five Thunder Gods of Heaven"

"Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations"

"Flowers bloom in an instant"

"."

Chen Yuan's expression was solemn. With a shout, he unleashed several Heavenly Gang Divine Powers at the same time, and a gunshot rang out, echoing through the sky.

In an instant, the five-colored thunder tree bloomed around him in the void, with thousands of golden flowers on his head, adorned with tassels and pearls, shining with boundless light and countless starlight.

A crimson lightning bolt tore through the darkness and shot down. Chen Yuan roared to the sky, and his spear let out a loud dragon's roar as it soared upwards, piercing through the lightning.

"boom"

A dazzling crimson bloom.

After half an incense stick,

Above the oasis of the great city, a dark golden streak of light pierced through the pitch-black abyss and plummeted down.

"boom"

It fell into the blue lake water of the oasis.

When Chen Yuan surfaced from the lake, looking somewhat disheveled, he spat out a mouthful of water.

A mocking voice followed immediately.
"Have I ever lied to you?"

"To be able to withstand that sea of ​​lightning for half an incense stick's time, you are even more unfathomable than I expected. It's hard to imagine how you acquired all those treasures and skills; you are truly a prodigy."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hand reached out and gestured towards Chen Yuan in the water.

The white-robed king was seen crouching in front, a smile playing on his lips, his attitude ever-changing.

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, he slapped the other's outstretched hand, jumped out of the lake, and then his body shuddered as the water vapor on his body evaporated rapidly.

“Say hello!”

At this moment, the white-robed king moved aside, revealing two people behind him.

A man dressed in a blood-red robe, carrying a skull rosary, with one half of his face contorted in a ferocious manner and the other half compassionate, and one eye black and one eye red;
This was none other than the Undying King who had previously pursued Chen Yuan at White Bone Ridge.

A pair of malevolent eyes stared at Chen Yuan, the crimson eye gleaming with savagery, while the other black eye scrutinized him, as if he possessed two different souls.

The other was exceptionally tall, with a pale face tinged with bluish-gray. His cheekbones were high, and his eyes were deep-set, like two dark voids with ghostly green pupils flickering within. Wherever his gaze touched, a chill would instantly rise, as if even the air itself would freeze.

His waist-length black hair was casually draped over his shoulders, with a few strands moving without wind, wrapping around his neck like a venomous snake at rest. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and there was a dark red line on each side of his mouth, extending to his ears, like scars that had been torn by sharp claws and then healed, adding to the horror of his sinister appearance.

The moment Chen Yuan met the eyes of these two, his pupils turned cold. Damn it, two more immortal monarchs have arrived.

Each one is more sinister than the last!
"I, Chen, have met both monarchs!"

Chen Yuan could barely hold his own against one immortal king, but now that two more have appeared, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and fight.

The two immortal kings stared intently at him, then suddenly their figures moved as if by teleportation, and an aura of death swept over Chen Yuan.
The white-robed monarch stepped forward, bumping into him to block the imposing force and break the tense atmosphere.

"You two, wake up! This place has finally received some distinguished guests."

As he spoke, he turned his head and gave Chen Yuan a half-smile.

"Don't be nervous. After staying in this place for so many years, no one can stay calm. There are also a few old monsters on their way. They will welcome you very much."

"You'll find out then!"

"You should know by now that you can't get out on your own, and since you claim to be a patrolling angel, some things are probably not just your responsibility." (End of Chapter)
