The Transcendent Immortal Chapter 84 The Murderous Intent In The Cold Night

Xiao Chen looked pale and could not speak. He did not expect that three zither sounds had consumed all his True Qi.

　　Shen Qian hurried over and said, "Junior Sister, put up the divine zither quickly!" Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled gently. He handed zither to Liu Fenghuang. This was not the time to turn against the Teal Jade Sect. It would need a long plan to take back the string.

　　Chu Lingjiao also came over and said, "I didn't expect that junior brother can play the ancient divine zither." A cold glance swept over Xiao Chen, as if it was a warning or praising, wanting to get close to him.

　　Xiao Chen didn't like this feeling very much and did not say anything. Shen Qian turned her head and said, "I didn't expect either. We've got so many people on watch tonight, but they still raided us. Senior Sister, do you know who they are?"

　　Chu Lingjiao smiled gently and said, "What a question, Junior Sister. Maybe you know them?"

　　Xiao Chen didn't want to take part in the fight between these people and walked to a tree with Liu Fenghuang. He asked, "Senior Sister Liu, are you hurt?" Now, the only one he could talk to was this "Senior Sister" who he only had known for less than one day.

　　Liu Fenghuang shook her head. "I'm fine. What about you? I didn't expect that you can play the zither three times in a row. Dad will be very happy to know."

　　The f.u.xi Zither was the ancient divine zither. If one was not blessed or had no fortune with it, he would never make it ring, no matter how powerful he was. The current sect leader of the Teal Jade Sect, Liu Yunzheng, could only make it ring once in each time. Even so, this made the Teal Jade Sect's position unshakable in the Zhou State.

　　The people's shadows were moving. Many people were cleaning up the mess. They had over 30 members before, but now there were less than 20. More than half of the people left were Chu Lingjiao's people. At the moment, everyone became alert, and n.o.body talked. They could not go further into the Dragon Meridian Mountains, so they could only wait for someone to bring the Flying-cloud Stone here.

　　Xiao Chen looked at these people, and many people were injured. He could not run his True Qi at present, and he did not know what might come next from the deep woods. However, the horrible things were usually not those unknown beasts but human heart.

　　The human was unpredictable. Chu Lingjiao and her people had no casualties and were silent. Their eyes looked like that of the eagles and falcons, watching every move around them.

　　Xiao Chen was now certain that the issue just now had something to do with her. Maybe this person also wanted to take the f.u.xi Zither string. If she really decided to kill, Shen Qian's side stood no chance of winning. Also, he could not play the f.u.xi Zither now. Could they really make it to daylight and wait until the men came with the Flying-cloud Stone? If this person started to kill, he could only take Liu Fenghuang into the mountains.

　　After calculating everything, Xiao Chen quietly ran his cultivation method to recover his True Energy. Time pa.s.sed by slowly, and every minute felt like one year long. He could only pray that Chu Lingjiao was afraid of the Teal Jade Sect.

　　"In order to avoid another raid, we should change a place." Shen Qian suddenly stood up and said.

　　"You're so right. I also want to do this." Chu Lingjiao also said.

　　Everybody then packed their stuff and then marched toward Zhou State for five kilometers. This time, no one set up a fire. Half an hour later, the crowd was closing their eyes for some rest. A woman beside Chu Lingjiao suddenly stood up when Shen Qian immediately opened her eyes and said coldly, "Junior Sister, where are you going?"

　　Chu Lingjiao looked at the female disciple and said, "Sit down."

　　"Okay." The female disciple replied and immediately sat back.

　　Although Xiao Chen closed his eyes, his Divine Sense had looked through everything around him. At this point, Chu Lingjiao stayed put, which did not mean that he was safe. Instead, she was waiting for the best opportunity. Shen Qian suddenly said, "Before long, the Immortals League Compet.i.tion. I think that Senior Sister Chu will attend, right?"

　　Chu Lingjiao said faintly, "Yes, one month later."

　　Liu Fenghuang sighed and said, "Although we've got the dragon pill, Senior Brother Duan is gone. It's hard to say if we still can keep the Spiritual Meridian..." She then let out a long sigh.

　　Xiao Chen was shocked. Spiritual Meridian? Was there an Earth Spiritual Meridian in the Teal Jade Sect? Chu Lingjiao smiled gently and said, "You don't know about that. We do have a junior brother who can play the divine zither, don't we?" She then looked at Xiao Chen, her eyes somewhat meaningful.

　　Everybody's eyes fell on Xiao Chen. n.o.body had paid attention to this guy from nowhere until the three zither sounds arose. He could even make the zither sound three times in a row. Who the h.e.l.l was he?

　　Looking around at those eyes, Xiao Chen did not know why Chu Lingjiao made everyone pay attention to him. Was she trying to test if he could still make the zither sound again? It must be! The reason why she did not make a move was that he was the only threat to her!

　　Sure enough, Chu Lingjiao suddenly said, "Why don't junior sister take out the zither and see if Junior Brother Han can still make it sound. If some people came to attack us again, we could rely on Junior Brother Han to fight."

　　Xiao Chen's heart sank, and he said inwardly, "s.h.i.+t!" At present, his cultivation had not recovered yet, so he could not make the zither sound. Shen Qian said, "Just now, he had already made the zither sound for three times in a row, and we saw it with our own eyes. So, there is no need for him to try again, right?"

　　Xiao Chen said, "Sisters, I appreciate your compliments. I'm not that talented, and I only know a little about music. I didn't expect that I can make the divine zither sound either. I think I'm just lucky." He was not sure if he could scare Chu Lingjiao by saying this.

　　Chu Lingjiao smiled gently as a cold light flashed through her eyes.

　　The murderous intent! Xiao Chen's Divine Sense was far more sensitive than that of ordinary people. Even if it was impossible to detect, he could still feel it. At this point, she finally had the intention to kill him!

　　But he was the only one who felt Chu Lingjiao's murderous intent. Shen Qian, Liu Fenghuang, and the others were not aware of this at all. His heartbeat became more intense, and he tried to calm himself down. The one with the highest cultivation was Chu Lingjiao. Although Shen Qian and the others were alert, Chu Lingjiao could kill all of them with one stroke.

　　However, he could not directly remind them that. Otherwise, they would not believe him, and Chu Lingjiao would have the excuse to kill him first. He then hurriedly sent a Divine Sense to the Nine-heaven Jade Pendant. "Evernight! Are you there?"

　　However, Evernight had consumed too much Soul power before to protect him from the tearing power of the s.p.a.ce, so it had fallen into slumber, and might not wake up in a short period of time.

　　All of a sudden, the light around dimmed as a dark cloud gradually covered the moon. The cold wind blew from around as the murderous intent arose! She finally was about to move! Xiao Chen even saw her cold pupil. The first one she planned to kill was him!

　　Suddenly, a heavy growl came from the distance. Everybody was shocked, and even the earth seemed to be shaking. The crowd immediately panicked. "What's going on? What is that voice?!"

　　There were many legends about the Dragon Meridian Mountains. There was even a rumor that said once there was a Nirvana Realm expert, joined forces with a dozen Nascent Soul Realm experts, went into the center of the mountains to look for ancient artifacts. But in the end, none of them came out.

　　At the moment, everyone felt a little fear from the bottom of their hearts. The unknown existence just now was far more powerful than them. Shen Qian frowned and said, "Leave, now!" Before her voice fell, a row of sword radiance dashed from her back. "Slas.h.!.+" It left a wound on her shoulder. If she hadn't noticed in time, that flying sword had already cut off her head.

　　Before everyone could react, dozens of figures suddenly flashed in all directions. In an instant, three or four Teal Jade Sect disciples were killed. Xiao Chen was shocked. He just had put all his attention on Chu Lingjiao, so he hadn't noticed these people approaching.

　　Shen Qian turned around and wanted to unleash her flying sword when she was punched from her back. "Puff!" She spat out a mouthful of blood. Suddenly, it was dark all around, and people could not see things. The dark cloud finally covered the bright moon.

　　With the Divine Sense, Xiao Chen rushed to Liu Fenghuang, grabbed her, ready to take her into the mountains. Suddenly, a flying sword came from behind. It was not targeted at him but Shen Qian who stood beside him.

　　Shen Qian was seriously injured at the moment and was not able to avoid this sword. Xiao Chen swung his sleeve and brought her to him. "Slas.h.!.+" The flying sword penetrated a disciple's head.

　　While taking two women, Xiao Chen rushed forth madly. He didn't stop until he had run for 20 kilometers. Fortunately, the dark clouds had covered the moon; otherwise, they could never escape from them. Now, the three people were gasping for breath. After a short while, Liu Fenghuang exclaimed, "s.h.i.+t! Senior Sister Chu is still there!"

　　Xiao Chen hurriedly covered her mouth and made another gesture of silence. Shen Qian looked at Xiao Chen coldly and said in a low voice, "Who are you exactly?"

　　Xiao Chen gave her a look. "Who am I? If it had not been for me, you would have been killed by that woman surnamed Chu!"

　　"How is it possible! Senior Sister Chu..." Liu Fenghuang heard him say the one who attacked Shen Qian was Chu Lingjiao, and she could not believe it. Shen Qian looked around and said, "Leave here first."

　　The three people then walked forth. But Shen Qian was heavily hit by that punch, and she had just run 20 kilometers, so she could hardly stand on her feet. After they found a cave, she adjusted her breath for a long time and finally forced the extravasated blood out of her body as she spat out the blood.

　　Liu Fenghuang held her and said, "Do you need the dragon pill?" Shen Qian waved her hand and said, "No. Keep it safe."

　　Xiao Chen was guarding at the entrance of the cave. Shen Qian was seriously injured now, so it was impossible to ride on swords.

　　"The men who will send the Flying-cloud Stone, when will they come?"

　　Shen Qian cast a glance outside the cave and saw the sky blue. It was almost dawn. She thought, "The message had been sent a long time ago. If it still doesn't come before daylight, there is only one possibility. The helpers were killed on their way."

　　"I don't know. Just wait for another moment. If they haven't arrived when it gets bright, we will figure out a way to leave the Dragon Meridian Mountains first."

　　Xiao Chen shook his head and meditated on the spot. When he played the f.u.xi Zither before, he had consumed so much energy that he now only had recovered 20% or 30% of his cultivation.

　　It was almost dawn when suddenly a dark spot appeared in the skyline. The black shadow grew bigger and bigger and suddenly approached them. It looked like a small island that was shrunk countless times.

　　Xiao Chen hurried back to the cave and said, "Look! Is it the Flying-cloud Stone?" As his voice fell, the cave dimmed suddenly. The mini island was hanging outside the cave and covered most of the light.

　　"Junior Sister Shen, Junior Sister Liu, are you all right?" A clear voice of a man rose from outside.
