In the mountain hollow on the other side of the peak behind Purple Cloud City.
A figure in a blue robe stood suspended in the air, supported by resplendent Dou Qi wings.
At this moment, his hands were rapidly forming intricate and complex seals. As the speed of his hand seals increased, they even began to leave behind afterimages.
Chen Xiao's gaze was sharp, fixed intently on the rapidly turning seals in his palms. His brow was tightly furrowed, and the vast Dou Qi within his body surged and was consumed like a river bursting its banks, flowing through his meridians. In an instant, two-tenths of it had already been depleted.
Suddenly, the fluttering seals seemed to be frozen by an invisible force. Chen Xiao's aura surged, and his roar exploded like thunder.
"Sea Flipping Seal!"
As the echo of his roar reverberated, Chen Xiao's hand seal transformed into a peculiar angle and was pushed out with sudden force. In an instant, the vast Dou Qi erupted like a volcano, instantly enveloping his entire palm. The ice-blue cuticle, within the violently trembling energy vortex, quietly covered it like ice crystals condensing. A moment later, an ice-blue, crystalline light seal, the size of a handprint, shot out violently!
Bang!
Just as Chen Xiao's hand seal was released, the ground below suddenly collapsed, and a black shadow, carrying broken rocks, leaped into the air.
The black shadow's right hand was clenched into a fist. There was no complex Dou Qi circulation, but terrifying power was compressed within the fist, forming a whistling air cannon that fearlessly met the Sea Flipping Seal.
Boom!
An earth-shattering roar tore through the sky!
The black shadow, carrying the force of its fist, collided head-on with the ice-blue hand seal that gleamed with cold light.
In an instant, energy erupted like a volcanic eruption. Amidst the deafening roar, a violent hurricane suddenly formed. The ripple-like force spread out like a tide. Wherever it passed, cliffs crumbled, stone chips flew, and even the continuous mountain ranges trembled.
And that black shadow, under the impact of this world-destroying force, was smashed heavily into the ground like a broken-winged eagle, stirring up a sky full of dust.
One breath, two breaths...
Under Chen Xiao's gaze, the deep pit in the ground suddenly exploded.
Immediately, the familiar black shadow shot out like a ghost, transforming into a black stream of light that rushed towards him.
"Stop."
Chen Xiao's expression remained unchanged. As his words fell, the black shadow's movements instantly froze, and its figure remained steadily suspended in the air. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than the Heavenly Demon Puppet, which only knew how to obey orders and had no independent consciousness.
Ignoring the puppet, Chen Xiao slightly sensed the consumption of Dou Qi within his body.
Even though he had cultivated a peak Earth-tier Dou Skill, this single strike had still consumed nearly two-tenths of the Dou Qi within his body!
One could imagine how terrifying the consumption of the Sea Flipping Seal was.
"No wonder this Dou Skill requires the Dou Huang level to cultivate. Ordinary Dou Wangs are simply unable to unleash it. I'm a bit special. Including the reserves of Ice Soul Talismans, I can probably only unleash one full-power strike. However, the power of this Sea Flipping Seal is indeed terrifying. It's just that I can't use it freely yet..."
Chen Xiao looked back at the Heavenly Demon Puppet and put it into his Storage Ring.
Although this Heavenly Demon Puppet couldn't use Dou Skills, with its terrifying strength and sturdy body, and its fearlessness of death, it was at least comparable to a four-star Dou Zong.
And Chen Xiao, relying on the Sea Flipping Seal, was actually able to repel it once!
From this, it could be seen that even a Dou Zong level expert, if careless and locked onto by this Sea Flipping Seal, would likely suffer a loss.
Of course, behind this powerful might, the difficulty of cultivation was also considerable.
Over the past twenty-odd days, Chen Xiao had spent a lot of energy cultivating the Dou Skills Heavenly Frost Palm and Sea Flipping Seal every day.
Yet, the Heavenly Frost Palm could be used freely, while this Sea Flipping Seal still had a casting delay of two to three breaths.
Two or three breaths might seem short, but if they were truly facing a Dou Zong expert, the opponent wouldn't be like the Heavenly Demon Puppet, waiting for you to be ready before attacking.
Therefore, more hard training was needed!
"Chen Xiao, Little Fairy Doctor sister and I are all ready. When are we leaving?"
Zi Yan's voice came from the mountaintop behind, interrupting Chen Xiao's thoughts.
With a slight flutter of the wings on his back, Chen Xiao landed beside the Little Dragon Person.
Looking down at Purple Cloud City below, Chen Xiao asked, "Did Medusa Queen go back to the academy again?"
Since their last greeting, Medusa Queen would return every few days, extremely concerned about Zi Yan's growth.
Zi Yan shook her head slightly and replied, "She left early this morning. She said she'll come back to see me after we finish dealing with the Black Emperor Sect."
Chen Xiao nodded slightly, not asking what the two girls had talked about privately during this time. It was nothing more than some private girl talk, no need to delve into it.
"Then let's go. Go back and bring Xian'er. Tomorrow is the start of the Black Emperor Sect auction, we can't miss it."
"Hehe, when we were wandering in the Black-Corner Region before, we had to specifically avoid that place. This time we can finally go in and take a look."
A quarter of an hour later.
Below the Purple Firmament Pavilion.
Hai Bo Dong watched as the three figures soared into the air.
This time, he was still the one guarding the home.
After standing there sighing about the younger generation surpassing the older, Hai Bo Dong called over his subordinate guard captains and ordered them to strengthen their vigilance.
Now that Chen Xiao and the other two had temporarily left, the strength within Purple Cloud City was at its weakest point. He didn't want any mishaps to occur.
On the other side.
After half a day of non-stop travel, in the afternoon, Chen Xiao and the other two gradually approached the location of Black Emperor City.
As they got closer to Black Emperor City, the three of them could clearly sense that the road leading to Black Emperor City was becoming more and more crowded. Clearly, these people were also heading towards the Black Emperor City Auction.
Looking at the outline of the huge city at the end of their sight from afar, Chen Xiao nodded slightly. Immediately, the three of them took out loose black robes to conceal their figures and appearances.
Zi Yan even directly grew larger, and with the concealment of the black robe, outsiders would absolutely not be able to associate her with that little girl.
"This time, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva is the main focus. Before it appears, we can bid on other things if possible, but it doesn't matter if we don't get them. For now, let's not cause trouble. There will still be opportunities later."
There was no need to say much about Little Fairy Doctor, who was gentle and sensible. However, Zi Yan needed some instructions.
Hearing Chen Xiao's serious tone, Zi Yan responded with two 'mm-hm' sounds. She knew that the Bodhi Transformation Saliva was related to Little Fairy Doctor's safety and could not be taken lightly.
"Let's go."
Chen Xiao nodded in satisfaction, smiled at Little Fairy Doctor beside him, waved his hand, and was the first to dart towards the city gate.
Thanks to the black robes completely concealing Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan's figures and appearances, even though the city gate was packed with people, the lines were winding, and the noise was rising and falling, no one dared to say a rude word to the three of them.
Ignoring the curious gazes around them, Chen Xiao and the other two did not queue up. They walked directly towards the city gate and arrived in front of a purple door next to the main gate.
Here, more than a dozen burly men in light yellow tight-fitting clothes stood straight. The powerful aura emanating from their bodies made the people queuing on the other side dare not approach in the slightest, and could only lower their heads and slowly move forward with the flow of people.
"Hehe, three friends, this place is specially set up for Dou Huang experts. Please show some of your aura."
In front of the purple gate, an old man in a yellow robe holding a pipe walked steadily over, cupped his hands in greeting, his gaze like silk sweeping back and forth over the three of them, and said with a smile on his face.
With the strength and status of a Dou Huang expert, the treatment is naturally far superior to ordinary people. Even a large force like the Black Emperor Sect dare not neglect them. This dedicated passage is the best proof.
Chen Xiao and the other two remained silent, but as soon as the faint Dou Huang aura spread, the originally noisy queuing crowd immediately quieted down, and their eyes focused on them in unison.
The old man in the yellow robe was also surprised and uncertain. One Dou Huang expert among the three already met the requirements.
Unexpectedly, all three of them were Dou Huang!
Such a powerful lineup is rare in the Black-Corner Region, which made him can't help but suspect the origins of the three.
Could they be from the Demon Flame Valley?
But the Demon Flame Valley has always acted high-profile, and deliberately hiding their identities like this is obviously contrary to their usual style of doing things.
"Can we go in?"
Hearing the hoarse voice coming from under the black robe, the old man in the yellow robe quickly nodded: "Of course you can, but may I know the names of the three friends? Are you guest elders of which force? Please don't misunderstand, asking is just to arrange better accommodation for the three of you."
"Rogue cultivators, Cao Hui," Chen Xiao replied calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in the yellow robe keenly caught the perfunctory meaning in Chen Xiao's words and secretly thought that the name Cao Hui was probably also made up on the spot.
He wisely stopped asking, and with a slight twist of his fingertip on his storage ring, a cold-light emitting green waist token had steadily landed in his palm. Immediately after, he respectfully handed the waist token to Chen Xiao, with a smiling face.
"Mr. Cao Hui, you may not know that Black Emperor City is currently at its peak in terms of traffic. Ordinary inns are already overcrowded, but our Black Emperor Sect has specially reserved accommodation for experts in the Black-Corner Region. You only need to hold this token and go to the Black Emperor Pavilion in the city center, and there will be dedicated personnel to properly arrange accommodation. Those who can stay there are all influential figures in the Black-Corner Region..."
Chen Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he calmly took the waist token and nodded gently to the old man in the yellow robe.
Then, he turned sideways to signal, and stepped through the purple gate side by side with Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan. Their clothes fluttered gently in the light and shadow inside the gate, and the figures of the three gradually disappeared into it.
The old man in the yellow robe gazed at the receding backs of Chen Xiao and the other two, a deep hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, then beckoned to a follower beside him and whispered.
"You immediately return to the sect and report the situation of these three people truthfully to the Sect Master. With three Dou Huang traveling together, apart from the Demon Flame Valley, perhaps only the recently rising Purple Firmament Pavilion has such strength in the Black-Corner Region. Regardless of where they come from, we must not take it lightly. We will report the matter first, so that even if there are changes in the future, we can clear our relationship."
"Yes!" The follower responded respectfully, then quickly turned and left.
