Xuan Zhen was not surprised by the strange state of the corpse and said indifferently, “Normally, if a True Dan realm martial artist does not die of normal old age, the corpse can be preserved for decades without decaying. However, Xuan Fa was initially broken by Master Tong Jue’s palm to break the True Dan, breaking the body of the three united elements, if not for the spell formation to protect his corpse, it would have decayed already.”
Qing Yu looked at the inner wall of the coffin and did see some formation patterns present.
Xuanfa’s corpse had not decayed for so many years, all thanks to the magic formation to keep it intact, and now that the formation had been broken, naturally it could only turn into flying ashes.
Xuan Zhen took a step forward, her phoenix eyes gazing intently at the bones.
She was already an expert in the field of medicine, so it was not a problem for her to examine the corpse. However, Xuan Zhen had never examined a corpse that was more than ten years old before.
“There are cracks in the ribs and spine, which were made by the palm force of Master Tong Jue, and the rest of the body also has many wounds, all from injuries sustained during the power grab.”
“On the limbs, there are traces of having gone through the Four Elephants body refinement, missing the internal organs, otherwise one could see a little more detail. The Four Elephants Jutsu also has a method for exercising the internal organs, and with the internal organs missing, it can only be determined that the Four Elephants Jutsu was practiced.”
While examining the bones, Xuan Zhen casually stated her conclusion.
Eventually, she said, “As things stand, this is indeed Xuanfa’s remains, at least in my judgment.”
“So, Xuan Fa is really dead?” Qing Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.
“If I haven’t missed anything, he did die, more than ten years ago.” Xuan Zhen nodded his head.
“That’s good, you don’t have to carry the reputation of having killed your teacher.”
Qing Yu said with some suspicion, “Is it really possible that I am still paranoid?”
To be honest, the most unlikely option of Xuan Fa not being dead was, on the contrary, the option that Qing Yu believed in the most. Many things are hard to believe unless they have been witnessed or done.
Qing Yu himself was even a master at faking death, having operated two fake deaths. He was also well versed in the ruse of it.
If it was him, he was able to do a perfect fake death, as long as there was enough time to set it up.
“Actually, you don’t need to worry about whether Xuan Fa is dead or not. With your strength today, even if he is not dead, what can he do to you? Unless you bring out the most powerful person, the rest of them may not be able to kill you even if they can win against you.”
Xuan Zhen said softly in a comforting voice.
Qing Yu’s strength had been known to Xuan Zhen in the last few days. Although she thought that Qing Yu had not fully revealed his strength, the strength that had been revealed was shocking.
Qing Yu did not look like a newcomer who had just entered the Tong Shen ranks, but rather like an old Tong Shen who had been cultivating for many years. And, he was still growing.
“I repelled Ling Blooddust, and if it wasn’t for Kong hanging in the air to save the day, Ling Blooddust would probably have died at my hands. With such strength, the enemy wouldn’t have failed to target.
If they show up, they will definitely have powerful enough underpinnings.”
Qing Yu raised his hand to cover the coffin and used his true qi to nail the coffin nails back into place inch by inch, pressing his palm lightly as the coffin disappeared into the rippling ground.
“But ——”
Qing Yu turned around with his hands on his head, a confident glow revealed in his eyes, “You’re right, with my strength, and with you coming to help, it is possible to steadily suppress Xuan Chen and the others. I could have let them jump out on their own and then whack them one by one.”
“That’s exactly what I should do, and I want to try out how powerful my ‘Tai Su Yuan Gong’ really is.” Xuan Zhen said.
She had trained hard for more than ten years and finally created this divine technique, and now she was like someone who had practiced the Dragon Slaying Technique, wanting a dragon to pop out immediately for her to slay, her battle spirit was frenzied.
“Since that’s the case, let’s come head on and be strong.”
“What do you want?”
“Challenge Xuan Chen.”
Qing Yu steeply powered up and shot up into the sky, arriving in a moment high in the sky below, her feet treading on white clouds. Not far away were the Seven Peaks of True Martial Arts, mountains hazy and lingering with lofty peaks.
Among them, there was one peak with the most majestic and heavy aura and the most majestic mountain, and this peak was precisely the main peak of the Seven Peaks of True Martial Arts – Chonghe Peak.
“Qing Yu has come to pay his respects to the mountain.”
A mighty sound stirred the sea of clouds and spread throughout the True Martial Sect. A powerful aura pressed down, and with the strength of one person, he actually suppressed the aura of seven peaks.
“Trespa*sing on the True Martial Sect, this fellow Daoist, you have been reckless.”
On the summit of Chong He, black and white Xuan Qi rose up to the sky and merged in the air, turning into a haze of emptiness, repelling Qing Yu’s aura.
At the same time, at the top of the seven peaks, Yuan Qi rose up, and the seven peaks were like seven divine swords, pointing at Qing Yu and emitting a strong sword power.
The True Martial Seven Tribulation Formation was in operation.
“Daoist Master Qing Yu of the Northern Zhou, although you are already a Tong Shen dignitary, you are still too presumptuous to come to my True Martial Sect to be reckless.”
Clad in a purple daoist robe, Xuan Chen lightly pressed the hanging sword box with one hand, looking at Qing Yu with a calm and composed face.
“Sect Leader Xuan Chen seems to be unsurprised by the arrival of the Poor Dao!” Qing Yu said with a light smile.
“Naturally, although Daoist Master Qing Yu and poor Daoist have never met, they have been friends for a long time.”
Xuan Chen said coldly, “But today, Daoist Master Qing Yu is so rude, so I have to teach you a lesson.”
With a booming aura, Xuan Chen’s hand made a seal, invoking the powerful force of the True Martial Seven Tribulation Formation, and seven pillars of light magically emerged from the seven peaks, with the sword of divine might hidden within them.
“What, is Master Xuan Chen trying to use the power of the formation to oppress the poor dao? Is the Master of the True Martial Sect this lacking in confidence?” Qing Yu kindly laughed.
The sarcastic words did not sway Xuan Chen in the slightest, but rather made his face appear murderous, “Qing Yu, if there is a way to heaven, you will not leave, but there is no way to hell, you will come and join us. The poor Taoist was still struggling with how to kill you, but now you are so stupid as to throw yourself into the net.”
The seven pillars of light faded from top to bottom, slowly revealing the heavenly divine sword within.
At this moment, Xuan Chen could be said to have reached the pinnacle of a normal God, and there were signs that he had entered into the most powerful battle.
The powerful aura poured out, and Qing Yu felt that there were killing machines in all directions, and his spiritual senses were constantly alerting him to the crisis.
However, in this situation, Qing Yu suddenly laughed lightly, “Master Xuan Chen thought that the poor Taoist had not considered the existence of the True Martial Seven Tribulation Formation when he came here to seek provocation?”
“See, your reliance is not going to be your help.”
In the distant Su Mui peak, the pillar of Qi that had just faded to half its glory suddenly solidified, layers of crystals crystallising from the bottom up, condensing it into a solid body and fixing the vital energy.
At the same time, unbeknownst to anyone, a figure quietly stepped into the Kun Yin peak, looking at the main hall in the distance with a meaningful and inexplicable smile.
“It’s time for the final mystery to be revealed.”
The sudden and shocking change had caused the True Martial Sect to truly step into an unknown future, and who would dominate this ancient sect would soon see the light of day.
