Chapter 2262: Chapter 2266: A Terrifying Speculation
密林之中.
"So that’s it! Damn Zhang Yubo, he actually deceived big brother using the benefactor’s grave affair, that bastard!"
"Bastard! It was really him who killed big brother, we must avenge this enmity!"
"Unexpectedly, the benefactor was also harmed by him! Zhang Yubo, Wu Qian, you deserve to die!"
After listening to Jiang Chen’s narration and analysis, the three Tong brothers cursed angrily.
Although Jiang Chen killed Tong Jiang, at this moment, the three Tong brothers understood that it wasn’t Jiang Chen’s fault, and the blame for Tong Jiang’s death was pinned on Zhang Yubo by them.
"Esteemed seniors, now is not the time to be reckless, we need to plan carefully!"
Jiang Chen hurriedly spoke to persuade the three Tong brothers.
Puff!
Suddenly, Sun Peng beside them spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura instantly dimmed, and his body wobbled as he fell toward the ground.
Worried that the three Tong brothers might still act, Sun Peng had been desperately holding on, but now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, he couldn’t hold on any longer!
His eyes closed, Sun Peng fell unconscious, a faint primordial spirit aura emanating from him, his primordial spirit slowly dissipating.
"Elder Sun!"
Jiang Chen exclaimed, hurriedly supporting Sun Peng.
"Young Jiang, where’s your God Concealing Spirit Herb? Elder Sun burned his primordial spirit, suffered severe injuries, if he can’t recover in time, he might remain stuck at the Virtual Refinement Realm Peak for life, unable to further improve his cultivation!"
Sang Zhenye anxiously spoke.
"This..."
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, and a God Concealing Spirit Herb appeared in his palm.
Although this Spirit Herb was reserved to help Wu Xianxia in elixir crafting, Sun Peng’s situation was more urgent at the moment!
"Use mine!"
Tong Hai shouted, stretched out his hand, also took out a God Concealing Spirit Herb, and handed it to Sang Zhenye: "Elder Sun’s primordial spirit was injured because of us, this Spirit Herb should be provided by us!"
Sang Zhenye took the God Concealing Spirit Herb without ceremony and fed it to Sun Peng, who had already fallen unconscious and lost consciousness.
Jiang Chen looked at Tong Hai with surprise, put away his own God Concealing Spirit Herb, and turned his concerned gaze toward Sun Peng.
"I’ll help Elder Sun heal, you guard the surroundings, don’t let anyone disturb us!"
Sang Zhenye spoke softly.
"Alright!"
Tong He and Tong Hu, feeling guilty, promptly responded, flashed into the air, their divine sense spread outward, covering a ten-mile radius.
"Teacher, here!"
Jiang Chen reached into his Space Ring and retrieved an elixir, handing it to Sang Zhenye.
Sang Zhenye took a closer look, and saw that the elixir in Jiang Chen’s hand was the last Condensing Element Pill he had refined in the Elixir Medicine Pavilion, precisely what Sun Peng needed as his primordial spirit was slowly disintegrating.
Without being polite to Jiang Chen, Sang Zhenye took the elixir and fed it to Sun Peng, using Primordial Spirit Power to suppress the disintegration of Sun Peng’s primordial spirit and repair his already fragile primordial spirit.
Under the tense watch of Jiang Chen and Tong Hai, thanks to Sang Zhenye’s assistance, Sun Peng’s pale face gradually showed traces of redness.
Phew!
Both Jiang Chen and Tong Hai breathed a sigh of relief together.
"Tong Hai senior, how do you have the God Concealing Spirit Herb?"
Jiang Chen looked at Tong Hai in curiosity, the God Concealing Spirit Herb was an Eighth Grade Spiritual Herb, and extremely rare among Eighth Grade Spiritual Herbs; the entire Changlin Academy didn’t have it in its collection. According to Yun Tao, when his master was injured back then, it seemed the Changling Main Court didn’t provide the God Concealing Spirit Herb for recovery, how could Tong Hai have it?
"It was given to me by Zhang Yubo."
Tong Hai spoke softly: "He gave each of us four brothers one God Concealing Spirit Herb, to enhance our Primordial Spirit Power, striving to break through to the Integration Realm Peak soon."
"Given by Zhang Yubo?!"
Jiang Chen’s face changed, his brow slightly furrowed: "Zhang Yubo actually willing to give you such valuable Spirit Herb?"
"The Mingqian Realm is the most remote and weakest of the thirty-two major domains on the continent, Zhang Yubo’s subordinates don’t have many Integration Realm experts, the four of us brothers are his strongest followers, he gave us the God Concealing Spirit Herb probably to boost the Domain Lord’s Mansion’s strength in preparation for competition among the major domains."
Tong Hai spoke softly.
"Competition among the major domains?"
Jiang Chen slightly froze, a look of surprise flickering in his eyes.
"There is competition between the major domains as well, every now and then Canglan City hosts a competition among the thirty-two major domains, some domains that perform well receive the Great Emperor’s reward, the Mingqian Realm has always been at the bottom in the competitions, after the four of us brothers appeared, Zhang Yubo has been eager to seize the Great Emperor’s rewards, constantly urging us to train!"
Tong Hai explained softly.
"Is that all?"
Jiang Chen’s brow slightly raised, feeling things weren’t that simple.
However, he couldn’t pinpoint any inconsistencies at the moment, so he didn’t dwell on it.
"How does Zhang Yubo have so many God Concealing Spirit Herbs?"
Thinking of seeing several God Concealing Spirit Herbs at the Domain Lord’s Mansion, Jiang Chen’s heart felt increasingly puzzled.
"Most were obtained by Zhang Yubo trading merits with Canglan City."
Tong Hai patiently explained: "Zhang Yubo seems to be preparing to break through to the Saint Realm, and has hoarded so many God Concealing Spirit Herbs for that purpose, also, our improvement in cultivation could increase his chances of becoming a Saint, but exactly how this helps, I’m not too clear!"
"Zhang Yubo wants to ascend to Saint!"
Jiang Chen was shocked, his brow tightly furrowed, if Zhang Yubo truly reached the Saint Realm, avenging himself would become even more difficult.
Hearing Tong Hai’s latter words, confusion flickered in Jiang Chen’s eyes.
Tong Hai and the others improving their cultivation help Zhang Yubo break through to the Saint Pinnacle Realm? This... why would it be like this?
Could it be that because their understanding revolves around the Dark Great Dao, Zhang Yubo wants to emulate their Great Dao Comprehension? That might not aid him in breaking through the realm, though?
Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s mind flashed with inspiration, four words appeared.
Nether Kui Snake!
Intensely alarmed, Jiang Chen’s breath quickened.
The erratic actions of Zhang Yubo reminded him of the Nether Kui Snake Power which caused the tragedies on Wuyou Island and at Lingtian Pavilion.
If Zhang Yubo is also controlled by Ya Qi, skilled in the art of devouring, then his help to Tong Hai and the others in improving makes sense, moreover, when Tong Hai and the others reach the Integration Realm Peak, devouring their Great Dao Comprehensions might ease Zhang Yubo’s breakthrough!
If it truly is so, then Tang Lin helping Zhang Sanfeng and the others break through the realm is explained.
Zhang Sanfeng and the others also comprehended the Dark Path, and have integrated the Dark and Light Paths into a fusion Great Dao, if Zhang Yubo erases Zhang Sanfeng and the others’ Dao Seeds, is it possible to unleash a Fusion Great Dao attack?
Jiang Chen’s eyes showed a shocked look; if things are indeed as he suspects, then it could be a major issue.
A Domain Lord being controlled is a major issue, if this matter proves true, it will cause a huge sensation across the entire Changlang Continent!
