Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 640 - 374: The Inevitable Path

Chapter 640: Chapter 374: The Inevitable Path

An Eighth Rank Ancient Demon was annihilated and perished in the blink of an eye!

Meng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan were both stupefied as they watched. Although they were not Grandmasters, they had discerning eyes. Even the top Grandmasters in the Cold North wouldn’t be able to easily exterminate an Eighth Rank Ancient Demon; such a feat probably required the intervention of an Elder with the Blood Exchange ability!

“Chen… Brother Chen?!”

Both of them found it hard to believe for a moment, staring at the figure in plain clothes walking towards them. Although the figure’s appearance and aura were extremely familiar, they felt a hesitancy akin to doubt.

Since when did Chen Mu possess the power to annihilate an Eighth Rank Ancient Demon with a flick of his fingers?

“Sister Meng, Brother Zhao, you must be startled,”

...

Chen Mu, gazing at Meng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan, spoke in an even tone, “I was about to return. I captured this demonic qi in the Earthly Abyss, tracked it all the way here, and luckily drove it into the Earth Abyss Rift, though it seemed not to have caused any trouble yet.”

Upon hearing Chen Mu’s words, Meng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan looked at each other for a moment.

“Chen… Brother Chen, you…”

Meng Danyun glanced behind Chen Mu, sensing the dissipated qi of the Ancient Demon in the air, then looked back at Chen Mu, finding herself at a loss for words.

Seeing the expressions on Meng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan, Chen Mu simply shook his head slightly, seemingly unconcerned about the shock he had caused them, and continued walking forward, saying, “I need to return to Yu State for a while. If you see the master, please tell him on my behalf. This rift into the Earthly Abyss will probably start to close up soon. Both of you should remain vigilant while guarding this place.”

Having said that,

he headed off into the distance, and after a few steps, his figure vanished among the broken mountains.

Even after Chen Mu’s figure had disappeared, Meng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan had still not recovered. They exchanged glances and saw the same bewilderment in each other’s eyes, until Zhao Zhenchuan couldn’t help but speak first, “Was that really Brother Chen just now?”

His eyes still roiled with emotions as he kept replaying the scene over and over, unable to calm his mind.

“…”

Meng Danyun didn’t respond, but turned to look in the direction where Chen Mu had departed, her eyes still wide with shock, then she thought of something and her expression became one of wistfulness.

The man just now was undoubtedly Chen Mu, and to exterminate an Ancient Demon so effortlessly, even if Chen Mu had mastered the Qiankun Domain, she didn’t think it possible. To achieve this, Chen Mu’s cultivation level must have…

In fact,

she had never doubted whether Chen Mu could break the Mysterious Pass and become a Grandmaster. After all, time after time in the past, Chen Mu’s progress in cultivation had always been shockingly amazing. He was a prodigy, and if he had become a Qiankun Grandmaster, she wouldn’t have been too surprised. Yet, she had not expected this day to come so quickly, as it had only been a few short years since Chen Mu stepped into the Six Viscera Realm!

She knew she had entered the Six Viscera Realm earlier than Chen Mu, and even now, she had only just managed to reach Perfection in the Six Viscera Tempering and was barely touching the bottleneck of the Mysterious Pass, barely qualifying to attempt breaking into the Marrow Cleansing Realm without any certainty of success.

While Meng Danyun’s thoughts were in turmoil,

suddenly another presence emerged, and then a figure stepped out from the Earthly Abyss.

“Elder Fang.”

“We pay our respects to Elder Fang.”

Meng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan, who were slowly recovering from their shaken minds, recognized the identity of the figure emerging from the Earthly Abyss. After a brief pause, they promptly greeted the individual with the due respects.

The person was none other than Seven Profound Sect’s Elder Fang Yuan.

“Hmm… Protector Meng, Protector Zhao, are you two the ones guarding this place?”

Fang Yuan emerged from the Earth Abyss Rift, his gaze settling on Meng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan. After a brief pause, his expression softened considerably, and, after briefly sensing the situation nearby, with a slightly concentrated look, he asked, “What has happened here? Has a demon penetrated through the passage?”

“Yes.”

Zhao Zhenchuan slowly came to his senses, nodded, and reported, “Just now, an Eighth Rank Ancient Demon surfaced, infecting a beast and taking control over its body…”

“An Eighth Rank Ancient Demon?”

Fang Yuan’s expression turned grave upon hearing this, his demeanor becoming more solemn as he swept his gaze around, attempting to sense further while asking, “Where did the demon go, and what is the current situation?”

An Eighth Rank Ancient Demon was no ordinary threat; even the mightiest Grandmasters might not emerge victorious, posing a significant disaster if it reached the surface.

Zhao Zhenchuan hesitated slightly before reluctantly recounting the recent events. Since Chen Mu had not mentioned keeping it a secret, and considering the gravity of the situation with the Ancient Demon, he felt it couldn’t be left unclear.

However,

he had expected Fang Yuan to be greatly astonished by the news, but instead, after listening, Fang Yuan merely looked startled for a moment before he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, saying, “I see, so it was Peak Master Chen ahead of us, then there’s no problem.”

Meng Danyun, watching Fang Yuan’s reaction, was momentarily stunned. After exchanging a glance with Zhao Zhenchuan, she cautiously inquired, “Elder Fang, what exactly is going on…”

Fang Yuan glanced at Meng Danyun and Zhao Zhenchuan, chuckled softly, and said, “It seems he did not mention it to you? Your junior brother has advanced into the Marrow Cleansing Realm and achieved the status of a Qiankun Grandmaster. By now, he is very likely the foremost Grandmaster under the Da Xuan Dynasty.”

“Although I did not witness it myself, I also heard from Peak Master Liu that he made the Longevity Sword break and the Absolute Blade perish in the shattered lands of Cave Heaven, and even with the power of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, forcefully repelled the old ancestor of the Sky Demon Sect, Yuwen Hao!”

Speaking of this,

Fang Yuan’s tone also carried a hint of admiration.
