Chapter 515: South Zhongxiang, North Wolong
The young man in the green shirt had a handsome face, like an immortal banished from the world, but the words he spoke contained a sinister and venomous intent.
Chai Chuanxin turned his head to look at the young man beside him, sneering in his heart. If it weren't to please this 'Wolong' young master and realize his greater ambitions in the human race, he would have long let the other party know the power of the Gambling Fox.
Chai Chuanxin was also suffering in his heart. Ever since the last incident with Jin Fenghua went wrong, he was reprimanded by the demon ancestor and received a good scolding. If he wasn't still somewhat useful, he would have been skinned and had his tendons drawn out by the ancestor long ago.
However, his own ancestor had possessed the Pingbian Prince's concubine, wanting to absorb the Pingbian Prince's dragon energy, and then take the opportunity to sneak into the depths of the human race's imperial palace, seizing the human race's true dragon aura to break through to the nine-tailed realm. Therefore, he was told to do everything possible to pave the way for the ancestor to enter the palace. He constantly organized relationships within the human race, painstakingly trying to befriend the young man in front of him.
There is a saying in the world: 'South Zhongxiang, North Wolong,' and the young man in front of him is the North Wolong: Zhuge Cheng.
The Zhuge family's innate bloodline is good at grasping the secrets of heaven, able to peer into time and control the power of time. They are the masters of the Qintian Observatory in the Dasheng Imperial Palace, specializing in divination for the Dasheng Emperor, peeking into future variables, and are deeply trusted by the Dasheng royal family.
Moreover, Zhuge Cheng is the eldest son of the Zhuge family, bearing the destiny on his shoulders. Every time the Dasheng Emperor holds a beauty pageant, the Qintian Observatory needs to personally observe. He wants to befriend Zhuge Cheng in order to send Zhang Xiaohua (Bai Cang) into the imperial palace in the future, using the human race's dragon energy to cultivate.
Although Zhuge Cheng is the eldest son of the Zhuge family, and should logically inherit the Zhuge family's leadership, he couldn't stand the appearance of a monstrous figure in the Zhuge family, Zhuge Cheng's younger brother, a son born of a lowly concubine: Zhuge Chengfeng. When the Immortal Realm shattered before, Zhuge Chengfeng accidentally swallowed a mysterious object and actually awakened the most mysterious power in time abilities: time reversal.
Among the thousands of people in the Zhuge family, only this one person has been able to master time reversal throughout history.
And the terror of time reversal, once displayed, caused countless elders of the Zhuge family to pursue him. Especially when Zhuge Chengfeng reversed time for one of the elders who was about to die by five years, it drove the Zhuge family crazy.
The most crucial thing is that Zhuge Cheng's mother killed Zhuge Chengfeng's mother. Zhuge Chengfeng's mother was just a concubine, originally insignificant, and even Zhuge Chengfeng lived like an ant, like a servant, suppressed and abused by Zhuge Cheng's mother, but who knew that Zhuge Chengfeng would suddenly awaken such a terrifying power?
Seeing that the Zhuge family was about to turn upside down, the elders began to protect Zhuge Chengfeng, and even Zhuge Cheng's great-grandfather personally came forward, taking Zhuge Chengfeng by his side to nurture him. Zhuge Cheng finally couldn't sit still. He had to refine his bloodline and master more power in order to suppress that lowly son of a concubine.
And at this moment, Chai Chuanxin, possessed by the Gambling Fox, 'unintentionally' said in a certain tavern that he knew the secret method of refining bloodlines, and then 'coincidentally' was heard by Zhuge Cheng. The two hit it off and immediately had the opportunity to recognize each other.
Of course, it is true that there is a secret method to refine the power of the bloodline, and it is also true to help Zhuge Cheng refine his bloodline, but it is also true that he will take the opportunity to benefit.
Hearing Zhuge Cheng's question, the Gambling Fox smiled lightly: "Young master, please be patient, just wait another quarter of an hour, and you will know if it is true. When this place becomes a river of blood, the blood of thousands of wild beasts, combined with the blood of the human race, will be enough to condense that 'flesh-generating pool'. With the addition of the moonlight obtained by this humble one, it will be enough to refine your bloodline and gain the power to master time reversal."
"Demon clans refine their bloodlines in this way, first by having wild beasts slaughter each other, and then using the blood of the beasts, combined with moonlight, to concoct a supreme elixir that can condense the divine object of refined bloodlines. This recipe was obtained by this humble one in the demon race after nine deaths and a lifetime. You can see the effect today." The Gambling Fox said with a smile: "Your illegitimate brother only masters time reversal, which can forcibly restore people's youth, but the drawbacks are also extremely obvious. Along with the reversal of time, although lifespan will be reversed, memory and strength will also flow backward, memories will be lost, and strength will decline. You have already gained a full advantage by mastering time stop and time differentiation. If you can go further, whether you master time reversal or time acceleration, you will be able to suppress your brother."
Zhuge Cheng sighed softly upon hearing this: "You don't know the terror of time reversal. The elders in my family say that Zhuge Chengfeng is expected to live forever, until the end of time. Even many dying old people would rather endure the side effects of time reversal than live on. If I can't master time reversal, I will be overthrown by him sooner or later!"
"He maintains time reversal, and his own bloodline will also be suppressed and affected, flowing back again. His strength will never be able to improve. Why should you fear a mere waste whose strength can never advance?" Chai Chuanxin said flattering words, unobtrusively complimenting him.
"As a bloodline that controls time, every time I use time supernatural powers, I can actually choose to actively waive the side effects of the supernatural powers. I suspect that Zhuge Chengfeng is hiding his clumsiness. Not only can he apply time reversal to himself, but each time time reverses, it will not weaken his bloodline power, but will enhance it. Just like me, if I activate time stop, I can choose to waive time stop and not be affected by the power of time," Zhuge Cheng said.
Hearing Zhuge Cheng's words, a trace of horror appeared in Chai Chuanxin's eyes, but a trace of greed flashed: 'If I can seize Zhuge Chengfeng's bloodline...' This thought stopped abruptly, and then he said without showing any emotion: "There is such an effect?"
"So you should know how afraid I am of him, and how terrifying his bloodline supernatural power is," Zhuge Cheng said.
Hearing Zhuge Cheng's words, Chai Chuanxin's face was indignant: "It's really unfair that such a lowly person has mastered such methods."
Just as they were talking, Chai Chuanxin turned his head to look into the distance, noticing something was wrong. Zhuge Cheng beside him said: "Did the beasts you attracted have internal strife? Why are they fighting each other?"
Chai Chuanxin's eyes were full of disbelief. He quickly took out a vertical flute from his sleeve and put it to his lips, blowing a series of sounds. He didn't dare to use the identity of a great demon to launch a beast tide while near Zhuge Cheng, so he could only rely on external means to cover it up.
As the flute sounds fell, the beast formation changed, but within the 2,000-meter range where Zhang Chen was stationed, all the beasts were still constantly fighting each other.
"That direction is not right. There seems to be a bloodline user interfering. This person seems to be able to control beasts and interfere with my beast taming technique," Chai Chuanxin's eyes were full of coldness.
Zhuge Cheng turned his head to look at Chai Chuanxin, only asking:
"What to do?"
Chai Chuanxin's face was stern: "Hehe, please allow this humble one to go and see for himself."
After saying that, Chai Chuanxin's figure flashed and disappeared directly into the ground. He has mastered Void Transformation, so even in human form, he can still use various supernatural powers.
Watching Chai Chuanxin's disappearing method, Zhuge Cheng secretly said: "Good method!"
If the other party didn't have good methods, he would never have believed the other party's words, let alone befriended the other party.
Chai Chuanxin walked through the earth all the way, heading towards the force field of Zhang Chen's beast control technique. However, just as he came to the edge of the beast control technique's force field and was about to step into it, he suddenly stopped, and a strange crisis surged into his heart.
"Something's not right! A strange power is permeating the void ahead. This power can actually control all the beasts! Even when I face this force field, I am constantly awakened in my heart." The Gambling Fox stood at the edge of the force field, muttering to himself. As the youngest genius of the Fox clan, known as the number one person of the younger generation, the Gambling Fox not only has outstanding methods, but also has an incredible sense of crisis. In the midst of the autumn wind, the cicada is aware before the wind moves.
"No! I can't go alone. I have to bring Zhuge Cheng!" Thinking of this, the Gambling Fox quickly retreated and returned to Zhuge Cheng's presence once again.
"Has it been resolved?" Zhuge Cheng asked when he saw the Gambling Fox return.
"The opponent is a bit difficult to deal with, and I would like to ask you, young master, to hold the line," Chai Chuanxin said in a low posture.
"Oh?" Zhuge Cheng became interested upon hearing this: "What level of cultivator is the opponent?"
"I don't know, this humble one only feels very dangerous and dare not easily take risks!" The Gambling Fox said.
"Let's go, let's meet him." Zhuge Cheng said with interest: "No matter who it is, anyone who blocks my bloodline refinement deserves to die!"
"This humble one will lead the way in front, you hide behind and hold the line. If there is an opportunity to attack and assassinate, that would be great," the Gambling Fox said here, directly swaggering down the mountain, summoning an elephant, and then riding on the elephant's back, heading towards the distant battlefield.
It is said that Zhang Chen was sitting in the middle of the beast tide, constantly controlling the slaughter of the beasts, but as time passed, he became more and more unsure, because the beasts in the dark night were like endless tides, killing back and forth and never seeing the end.
And the human refugees have suffered heavy losses at this time. From time to time, fierce beasts such as tigers pounced into the crowd of the old, young, women and children, wreaking havoc, causing a burst of chaos in the crowd.
"The human race's situation is not good!" Zhang Chen was a little anxious in his heart: "The best way to resolve the crisis is to find the demon beast behind the beast tide and then carry out a sure kill. When the beast tide loses its command, it will naturally disperse."
But that demon beast is too cunning, it doesn't show its face at all, not giving itself a chance to act.
Just as various emotions were flowing in Zhang Chen's heart, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes seemed to see through the night, seeing the far rear of the beast tide.
"Gambling Fox, so it was him who was causing trouble behind the scenes?" Zhang Chen was stunned.
