421: C421 Intercept

C421 Intercept

"Sun Ao is chasing me? I was the one who discovered Sun Ao first, how could he possibly come chase after me? " Chu Chen said coldly.

"Nonsense!" It was clearly Sun Ao who discovered you first, and then chased after you in a hurry. Did you think that we were blind? The disciples of the Celestial Sect berated him angrily. This lie was too unskillful.

"When did you see him?" Chu Chen suddenly asked.

"Half an incense stick of time ago!" The disciple said.

Hearing that, Chu Chen's heart trembled, there really was a trick!

Half an incense worth of time ago, Sun Ao had already left, he must have returned to the place where he was previously at, while everyone was busy fighting, not finding him at all.

And what Sun Ao did, was for a very clear reason. To make him the target of public criticism, and to go along with his plans, wouldn't it?

"No wonder he didn't attack me. So it turns out he was planning to change everyone's suspicions towards me. This is much more useful than a blank-mouthed accusation."

Regardless of what Chu Chen said or what he said, no one would believe him and they would only suspect him even more.

"Chu Chen, I never thought you were this kind of person, I already said that the dried corpse I saw that day looked like you. At that time, you were still trying to argue, now it seems that it really is your disguised dried corpse."

Shen Liuyun said angrily, the others were also glaring at Chu Chen, they had already made their preparations, and were ready to take action anytime.

"I did not kill Sun Ao, and you were all tricked by Sun Ao." Chu Chen said coldly.

At this moment, he disdained to explain too much. No matter how he tried, no one would believe him. Saying something like that was a reminder to them. They could not blame him for not reminding them of what would happen in the end.

"Nonsense!"

At this moment, a voice echoed in the air. Everyone turned to look, and their expressions froze.

Sun Ao appeared, and on his body, there was still a lot of blood.

Everyone listen, don't trust this guy so easily. I'm going to follow him, but who would have thought that after he found out, he actually attacked me. Luckily, I faked my death and escaped this calamity. Sun Ao walked over step by step, throwing a cold look at Chu Chen.

"It's a trap!"

Chu Chen's expression was ice-cold. Sun Ao was such a shrewd person, he actually tricked him!

Chu Chen knew that once he returned, there would definitely be someone waiting for him. But he never thought that there would actually be such a ruthless plan.

Sun Ao had gone back in advance to make a fake appearance. He had even injured himself and then appeared, saying that he had been injured by him.

What a perfect scheme!

Now, no one would believe what Chu Chen said. Even Guan Xinghai would probably not believe him.

"Chu Chen, what else do you have to say for yourself? The culprit is you!" Meng Shuang shouted.

"You don't have the right to speak here, shut your mouth." Chu Chen said coldly, his eyes staring straight at Sun Ao, "Rest assured, I will tear off your mask."

"Hmph, the evidence is conclusive and you deny it with all means possible. You knew that your Holy Land of Hundred Spirits isn't reliable." Sun Ao said with a cold snort.

"Chu Chen, I believe you, but can you give everyone an explanation?" Huan Xingran could not help but to ask. She did not believe that Chu Chen was that kind of person, there might be some secret behind it.

"If you trust me, give me some time." Chu Chen said to him calmly.

"Then we'll wait for you." The evidence was conclusive, and it was Sun Ao himself who had said so. Although he believed Chu Chen, how could he explain the things that Sun Ao had said?

Previously, when he was dealing with the corpses, he had personally seen Sun Ao chase after him. As for Chu Chen, although he did not see anything, he could not rule out the suspicion.

Right now, Sun Ao's plan was very obvious. He wanted to create an accident and frame Chu Chen, making everyone think that he was the murderer.

As for Chu Chen, he himself knew of all of this but no one believed him even if he spoke of it now. He was completely led by Sun Ao, and the other party arranged a trap for him, causing him to be unable to jump out.

"Be careful of this person, he might not be Sun Ao." Chu Chen said to Guan Xinghai and the others, this warning might only be useful to them, as for the others, they no longer believed in him.

Sun Ao was not Sun Ao? Guan Xinghai, Huan Xingran, Lin Dong, and the rest were stunned.

What did Chu Chen mean by that? Why is it so weird?

The one in front of him was Sun Ao, how could it not be him? Looking at Chu Chen's expression, he realised that Chu Chen did not seem to be speaking casually.

"What a huge joke, I, Sun Ao, am just standing in front of everyone, and yet you still say that I am not Sun Ao, what kind of nonsense is that?" Sun Ao sneered, and the rest of the people also started to mock him. In order to get rid of the suspicion, this guy was truly bullsh * t.

"Do you really think I'll let you do whatever you want with me?" A cold light shot out from Chu Chen's eyes, carrying a dense killing intent. Sun Ao had tricked him several times, wanting to play around with him.

"Whether it is Sun Ao or not, I will know after one try!"

Chu Chen took a step forward, with a sharp and imposing manner, he instantly threw himself over.

Facing that attack, as long as Sun Ao did not block it, he would be severely injured, and if he tried to block it, his powerful cultivation would be revealed.

But the real Sun Ao did not have such a high cultivation level, to know whether it was real or fake in an instant!

Chu Chen's movements were extremely fast, so fast that Sun Ao had no time to react, and the rest of the people, were also unable to intervene.

Sun Ao never thought that Chu Chen would actually make a move. If he wanted to counterattack, then wouldn't that mean his identity was being exposed?

Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed. It seems he had underestimated this fellow!

With a swoosh, he immediately retreated.

In just a blink of an eye, Chu Chen's fist went over and struck Sun Ao's body.

But, Chu Chen frowned.

"An afterimage!"

Sun Ao's real body had already retreated, and even deliberately spat out a mouthful of blood, so that everyone would think that even if he dodged, he would still be affected.

This person was truly shrewd. He knew that I wanted to test him, but he did not take the initiative to defend himself and retreated.

This way, he didn't reveal much of his cultivation base. Moreover, he even pretended to spit out a mouthful of blood, so everyone wouldn't suspect anything.

"Chu Chen, you are so vicious, you actually want to kill us to keep our mouths shut."

Sun Ao did not wait for Chu Chen to ask first and made the first move.

"With the evidence right here, he still wants to kill someone in front of everyone. Seems like he has already been admitted. Everyone, let's go together and capture him, and avenge the death of his fellow brothers!"

Meng Shuang shouted, and everyone walked towards Chu Chen.

"No matter who you are, I, Chu, will take your life." Chu Chen said indifferently at Sun Ao, he looked at the incoming group of people and revealed a cold smile, this group of people, was too stupid!

Facing the crowd, Chu Chen was not afraid, but, if he were to make a move and kill people, then he would be tricked by Sun Ao, and the suspicion on his body, would completely disappear.

At this moment, the only thing they could do was to leave, as Chu Chen wanted to leave. This group of people did not have the ability to chase after them.

"Swish!" A sound of wind rang out, and Chu Chen's body suddenly shot out.

Other than Guan Xinghai, only he had the highest cultivation. In the crowd, no one could catch up to him.0

A cold light flashed across Sun Ao's eyes. He had missed a good opportunity for Chu Chen to be so patient.

"I have to remove Sun Ao's mask, otherwise the situation will be disadvantageous to me, and even more so to my Holy Land of Hundred Spirits."

After running for an hour, Chu Chen realised that no one was following him, and his face became gloomy.

Sun Ao's goal was to kill everyone and shift the blame onto him. Now, he had to unravel his lies as soon as possible, or else, anyone could be killed.

The feeling of someone holding his head and walking with his hands made Chu Chen feel a little sullen, but he couldn't act on impulse now. Once he acted impulsively, he would fall into Sun Ao's trap.

Other than this, there was another matter that made Chu Chen think deeply.

It seemed as though all of the golden-armored soldiers had been killed, and the formation within the manor had been destroyed as well.

It was obvious that the golden-armored soldier had yet to reach the finish line. If that was the case, then he had no idea where the soldiers' destination would be!

"Right now, the Nine Heavens Tower isn't far from here. Why don't I go take a look myself?"

Chu Chen made his decision quickly, but he did not immediately take action. There was still some time until daybreak, so he decided to rest for the night, and only go on the road the next day.

Time flew by while he was cultivating, and he almost couldn't feel it.

When Chu Chen opened his eyes, it was already the second day. He felt that many Nether Soul had appeared.

Chu Chen didn't refuse it. Although his soul force had already completed its evolution, this wasn't the end, so he still had to continue cultivating.

Before this, Chu Chen had tried to break through the sealing power on the beast skin that recorded the Soul Art, but he failed again.

Even if one's soul force reaches the white color and completes the first stage of advancement, they still wouldn't be able to break through the seal. They still had to continue to grow stronger.

The closer they got to the center of the city, the more Nether Soul there were.

Chu Chen spread out his soul force, crazily devouring the Nether Soul. At the same time, he followed the path the golden-armored soldier had taken, going straight forward!

They should still be at the back. They probably didn't make it last night.

"The effects aren't that great anymore."

With a surprised expression on his face, Chu Chen realized after he devoured over a thousand Nether Soul, the growth of his soul had slowed down.

The Nether Soul s that were devouring could only grow by relying on their large numbers. But now, this kind of growth was even slower, compared to wasting energy, it was still not worth it.

Chu Chen guessed that this should be related to his soul force becoming white, the quality of his soul force becoming higher. The Nether Soul s were unable to satisfy his needs, so their effects were greatly reduced.

"Looks like I won't be able to continue increasing my soul force."

Chu Chen said regretfully. He had originally planned to cultivate his soul force to the peak level without any danger, but who would have thought that his soul force had advanced so much that he didn't have any interest in Nether Soul anymore. He could only give up this idea.

Maybe, only the more pure beast spirit power that the Animal Core possessed could satisfy the current requirements of the soul force.

At this moment, Chu Chen seemed to have unknowingly arrived at a completely different place. He looked around, and not far away, a flight of stairs appeared before him.

At the top of the stairs was a nine story pagoda.
