Chapter 247 Threat
Inside the secret room, the magic circle was dimly lit. Under the alchemy furnace not far away, the fire was swaying, exuding a warm feeling.
Looking at the words on the jade book, Chu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the jade book.
After a moment, he felt a little relieved.
He never took his life too seriously. He was in another world, like a rootless duckweed. All along, except for chasing the illusory name after his death, he had a hard time getting interested in anything.
But now, even though he was far away from the other side of the starry sky, there was still someone who cared about him.
After a long silence, he picked up the pen and wrote a reply.
…………

[My wife, I am glad to see you in person. ]
[Everything is fine recently, don't worry, the starlight you see in your eyes is the old dream many years ago, or one day, you will find my trace in the starlight. 】
【The world is cruel and people are mean. You are in a strange place, so you should be more cautious. You should think twice about everything, judge the situation, and make plans before you act. 】
【People have separations and reunions, the moon waxes and wanes, just like drinking bitter wine, although it is bitter, it will eventually become sweet. 】
【Take good care of yourself and wait for the day of reunion. 】
The bright words on the jade book dispelled the coldness in the cave.
Looking at Chu Zheng's reply, Song Lingxue's eyes softened.
When they were together, Chu Zheng never talked to her like this, and most of his thoughts and energy were put on cultivation.
In fact, compared with her younger sister, she was not very interested in cultivation.
When she was in the Song Mansion, the reason why she practiced martial arts every day was just because the Song family needed a strong enough heir, someone who could take on the responsibility.
Until now... the pressure of her cultivation came only from Chu Zheng.
Perhaps Chu Zheng didn't care about her cultivation, but she couldn't feel at ease.
The handwriting on the jade book gradually disappeared, and it began to slowly absorb the essence of heaven and earth and began to charge.
It was unknown how long it would take before she could write a letter again.
Song Lingxue took a deep breath, stood up with the help of the wall, and strode out of the cave.
Time was tight, the task was heavy, and the star under her feet was quite vast. Even if those alien species stood in front of her and she was killed one by one, she would not be able to kill them all in a hundred years.
And she only had seventeen years.

After replying to Song Lingxue, Chu Zheng's mood was a little unstable. After a long time, he gradually calmed down.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Zheng took a breath and used the magical power "false form" to transform into Bai Zhixiao's appearance.
After adapting for a while, he activated the jade disk.
In the blink of an eye, the jade disk turned into a water mirror, reflecting a picture.
"What's the matter?"
In the wide jade pool, mist was rising. A woman wearing a light veil was sitting lazily by the pool, her arms hanging down lightly, her jade-like fingertips gently teasing the water surface, creating ripples.
Chu Zheng's eyes were slightly cold, he suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, bowed and spoke with a hint of tentativeness:
"Demon Fairy, Chu Zheng is about to return to Taixuan. I haven't contacted the two demon kings mentioned by the demon fairy yet. Do you think there is any accident?"
"You haven't seen them yet? How is this possible? They arrived more than a month ago."
Dongsheng Demon Fairy frowned immediately, her eyelids drooped lightly, and a fairy light appeared on her fingertips.
After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a trace of disbelief flashed across her face:
"Dead?!"
"Who died?"
On Chu Zheng's face, a trace of astonishment appeared just right.
Dongsheng Demon Fairy did not answer him, bit her fingertips lightly, and her eyes could not stop flowing.
After a while, she suddenly looked up: "Have you found anything unusual about Chu Zheng recently?"
"Nothing unusual, but a few days ago, a red light escaped from the direction of Taixuan Holy Land. I don't know what it is."
"Are there any other abnormalities? Has there been a big fight recently?" Dongsheng Fairy continued to ask.
Chu Zheng pretended to think for a moment, nodded and said: "A few days ago, I heard that it seemed that a fairy treasure took action, but I don't know why."
"Fairy treasure..."
Hearing this, Dongsheng Fairy's heart moved, and a sneer appeared on his face: "This Chu Zheng must have been prepared and brought fairy treasures to protect himself."
As for the cause of the matter, she can guess roughly, it's nothing more than the two demon kings acting on their own, and then being robbed, and being killed by Chu Zheng with fairy treasures.
As for why he didn't contact Bai Zhixiao first, the reason couldn't be simpler.
A seven-tribulation demon king and a nine-tribulation demon king, it is understandable that these two demons join forces to look down on Bai Zhixiao.
Chu Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "Demon Fairy, what do you think of the current plan? How should we deal with Chu Zheng? I'm afraid the people from the Immortal Alliance are coming..."
After the Ten Thousand Sects Hidden Dragon Competition, within a few years, the Immortal Alliance will send a special envoy to come and take the True Immortal Seed.
Chu Zheng naturally didn't want to be taken away by this special envoy. As long as the Immortal Alliance envoy arrived, it would be the day he left Cangyun.
He just wanted to know the next plan of the Dongsheng Demon Fairy to prevent trouble before it happens.
Dongsheng Demon Fairy pondered for a while, nodded and said: "I will arrange someone to pick him up."
"What does Demon Fairy mean?" Chu Zheng's expression moved.
"On the way back to the Great Immortal Realm, it is inevitable to pass through the Ten Thousand Realms, and then deal with them."
Dongsheng Demon Fairy's expression became a little impatient. The death of two demon kings was also a big loss for her.
What's more, one of them is the mount of a real immortal, which will cause a lot of trouble, and she will have to spend a lot of money to calm it down.
Chu Zheng suddenly realized, and then pursed his lips slightly, and said with a little trepidation: "The immortal treasure you promised me before..."
This is the thing that makes Chu Zheng most excited, a real immortal treasure, priceless, and powerful enough to shake the sky.
"Immortal treasure? How dare you ask?"
Dongsheng Fairy's face was slightly cold: "I'll ask you, is Chu Zheng dead now? Did you hurt Chu Zheng?"
"Evil beast!"
Chu Zheng's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted loudly, his voice like a bell:
"If you don't give me the immortal treasure, I will report to the Immortal Alliance now, saying that you secretly harmed my human race's genius! Cangyun Fairy King is not dead yet!"
Dongsheng Fairy was stunned for a moment, and her thoughts were blank for a moment. After she came to her senses, she instantly fell into a rage:
"How dare you scold me, a mere Cangyun bastard?!"
"What if I scold you?! Evil beast!
Chu Zheng snorted coldly, his tone getting higher and higher: "Do you believe it or not? I will write a letter now, report to the Immortal Alliance, and let Cangyun Fairy King take your life! Then you and I will die together!"
"You! "
Dongsheng Fairy's chest rose and fell sharply, she was breathing heavily, the murderous intent in her eyes almost solidified, after a while, she said sinisterly
"Don't you want the foundation of Taixu Holy Land?"
"If you dare to come to Taixu, I will ask for Taixu Sword and kill you with my own hands!"
Chu Zheng sneered, not caring at all, staring at Dongsheng Fairy in the mirror, and said word by word:
"I want the fairy treasure!"
Dongsheng Fairy's face twitched, hiding the murderous intent in her eyes, and after a while she spoke: "I will have someone bring it to you when the time comes. "
She didn't dare to gamble whether Bai Zhixiao really wanted to die with her. The life of a Cangyun Immortal Tribulation cultivator was insignificant compared to her own safety.
No matter how unimportant the cultivators of the Cangyun Realm were in the Immortal Alliance, there were still many True Immortals in the world, and the Cangyun Immortal King, an extremely powerful person, was in charge.
Even if the Cangyun Immortal King didn't care about Cangyun's affairs at all, it didn't mean that he would sit back and watch the Cangyun Tianjiao being killed.
"Don't bother with that. There is a boundary gate in the Immortal Alliance. You can just seal the immortal treasure and send it to Wanlong City. It will arrive in half a month. "
Chu Zheng directly rejected Dongsheng Yaoxian's proposal. After absorbing Bai Zhixiao's memory, his understanding of the Immortal Alliance has made great progress.
In the Immortal Alliance, there is a treasure called 'Boundary Wheel'.
This treasure connects the various star fields in the Immortal Alliance and sets boundary gates in them.
The boundary gate closest to Cangyun Realm, with the means of a true immortal, half a month is considered slow to reach Cangyun.
"..."
Dongsheng Yaoxian's breathing became more and more disordered. After a moment of silence, she almost gritted her teeth and said: "Okay..."
She never thought that Bai Zhixiao would have the courage to offend her like this.
You can't tell on weekdays that the human race is really cunning!
Bang!
The water mirror shattered instantly, turned into a jade disk again, and fell into Chu Zheng's palm.
Putting away the jade disk, Chu Zheng fell into deep thought.
He was not sure whether the Dongsheng Fairy would really send the fairy treasure to him. Even if he did, he would probably do something with it.
Chu Zheng did not care about this. He had a spiritual eye. If the fairy treasure could not be used, he could just put it aside and extract the fairy energy inside as reserve energy for repair.
If an accident really happened, he would not suffer much loss with Bai Zhixiao's skin and Taixu Holy Land in front.
On the contrary, if the Dongsheng Fairy really handed the fairy treasure to him honestly...
Then I'm sorry. This secret, not to mention eating it for a lifetime, he will at least make another fortune and then run away.
After dealing with the matter of the Dongsheng Fairy, Chu Zheng took out this The semi-immortal treasure ‘Yunyuan’ that was sealed before.
This sharp sword from the Taixu Holy Land has been sealed by him.
The reason why Bai Zhixiao was able to detect his ambush before was because there was a mark on this semi-immortal treasure.
During this period of time, he tried to communicate with the immortals in Yunyuan, but the process was not very pleasant. In desperation, he could only use some means.
At the level of semi-immortal treasures, compared with Tongxuan Lingbao, it has less initiative and cannot fight independently because the loss is too great and it cannot be borne by itself. It cannot be controlled by cultivators.
This is also related to the environment of heaven and earth. It is quite difficult to extract immortal power with a little spiritual energy. Taking action often means consuming a lot of origin.
Chu Zheng sat cross-legged with a sword on his knees , silently operated the Qi Gathering and Heaven Replenishing Method, and began to extract the immortal energy in Yunyuan.
He had already extracted it several times, and Yunyuan's sword body was already a little dim compared to before.
Soon, a few days later, after another immortal energy left the body, Yunyuan Sword became weaker and weaker, and the immortal spirit inside it sent out a thought, begging for mercy.
If it continues to be extracted, it will not take long before it will turn into a piece of ordinary iron, and the true spirit that has been cultivated with great difficulty will be annihilated.
Seeing this, Chu Zheng did not continue. From the body of the Falling Star Bow, it can be seen that the semi-immortal treasure still has a great impact on his current combat power.
With Yunyuan's full cooperation, this semi-immortal treasure quickly recognized its master, and Chu Zheng returned the few strands of immortal energy again. Filled its foundation.
During the battle with Bai Zhixiao, he had a clearer understanding of his current combat power. With this Yunyuan in hand, the immortal cultivators under the third calamity could not be his opponents at all.
After refining Yunyuan, Chu Zheng was about to come out of retreat to see the situation in the outside world, when a wave of fluctuations suddenly came from the depths of his soul.
After swallowing a part of Bai Zhixiao's soul fragments, his soul strength had already skyrocketed. Now, under the nourishment of the incense and vows, he has reached the bottleneck of cultivation.
After retreating for a month and adjusting for a while, Chu Zheng's cultivation entered the middle stage of Tongxuan realm as if it was a natural outcome.
Less than a year after he entered Tongxuan, he had already broken through again.
Fortunately, the Qianlong List has been dissipated now, and no one in the outside world can know, otherwise it will be another earthquake.
After adapting for a while, Chu Zheng got up and came out of retreat. As soon as he stepped out of Taixuan Station, he realized something was wrong.
Above Wanlong City, a red-gold divine sword hangs brightly, stretching for thousands of miles, with dazzling fairy patterns and auspicious colors hanging down.
[Blood-Transforming Sword (Eighth Level): A low-grade fairy treasure, transformed from a semi-fairy treasure, with billions of souls killed by the sword, and blood evil wrapped around the blade. There is an evil spirit inside it, and those with insufficient character will easily lose their minds. 】
Chu Zheng dispersed the spiritual light in his eyes, and the smile on his mouth continued to expand. Although there were some problems with this sword, it was indeed a genuine fairy treasure, and there was no hidden hand in it.
Since this Dongsheng Demon Fairy was so honest, it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to continue to reach out.
A special magic array was shrouded on the Blood-Transforming Sword, which required a specific unlocking method.
Dongsheng Demon Fairy had given Bai Zhixiao some benefits before, relying on this method to ensure that things could be accurately delivered to his hands.
After calming down, Chu Zheng used his fake form to transform into Bai Zhixiao's appearance. In front of everyone, he pinched the seal and put away the Blood-Transforming Knife.
Most of the power of the Blood-Transforming Knife has been sealed, and it cannot pose a threat to the outside world. Even if you want to activate it, you have to consume a lot of fairy jade to have some effect.
This scene naturally caused a lot of discussion around, but due to Bai Zhixiao's current cultivation, no one dared to discuss it.
Chu Zheng turned into a clear light and left Wanlong City. After hiding his whereabouts, he sneaked back to Wanlong City again.
During his retreat, Fu Quanliang, who was far away in Taixuan Holy Land, sent a lot of letters.
During the period when the Wanzong Qianlong Competition began, Chu Zheng handed over all the visiting cards sent by various forces to Fu Quanliang.
Now, he has given suggestions one by one, and some decisions still need Chu Zheng to approve.
Chu Zheng roughly scanned it and quickly gave his approval.
He had no time to deal with the interactions with various forces, so he could only let Fu Quanliang handle it at his discretion.
As for the timing of reopening the mountain gate for the second time, he personally determined it.
