CHAPTER 130: CHAPTER 126: YOU ARE XIAO PING?! OBTAINING THE HEAVEN-DEVOURING DEMON BODY!

"Who are you...?"

Elder Fu Xiu was taken aback.

The person before him wore a white robe that was whiter than snow, standing tall and elegant, with features that were handsome beyond compare. His jet-black hair was tied up, and his sword-shaped eyebrows slanted into his temples, while his long, narrow eyes were bright and clear, making him as handsome as a celestial god.

Fu Xiu couldn’t help but marvel in his heart, what a fine nobleman from a prestigious family!

But no matter how long he thought, he couldn’t recall ever knowing such a figure.

"Elder Fu Xiu, don’t you recognize me?"

Chen Zhixing smiled slightly, his face instantly changing into the unremarkable appearance of Xiao Ping.

"Xiao Ping?!!"

In an instant, Elder Fu Xiu’s pupils shrank violently, and his face changed drastically, exclaiming in shock.

"You... you’re actually Xiao Ping?!"

Elder Fu Xiu’s mind was in turmoil, staring at Chen Zhixing with an expression of disbelief.

How could it be Xiao Ping?

How could it possibly be Xiao Ping?!

In that moment, Elder Fu Xiu understood everything.

He feared that the casual remark he made in the great hall that day had turned out to be prophetic!

This Xiao Ping was indeed someone else in disguise taking his place!

In the next moment.

Dugu Ni stepped silently behind Chen Zhixing, standing respectfully like a silent old servant.

Fu Xiu drew a breath and said, "Xiao Ping, what do you want? We have no grievances or enmity, give me a way out..."

Before he could finish speaking.

Chen Zhixing had already opened his large hand.

Boom!!!

A massive gravitational force erupted instantly from Chen Zhixing’s hand.

Fu Xiu was suddenly pulled into Chen Zhixing’s grasp.

Five pale, slender, distinctly jointed fingers grasped Fu Xiu’s throat.

The five fingers slowly began to exert force.

Tightening, and tightening!

"Xiao Ping, you..." Fu Xiu’s face flushed red instantly, his whole body lifted up, flailing his arms and legs wildly in the air.

"Elder Fu Xiu, do you know? While you went through so much trouble to kill me, wasn’t I also trying desperately to find a way to kill you?"

Chen Zhixing chuckled softly, "The wait to find an opportunity to kill you alone was quite something."

Puff, puff, puff!

The Ox Demon Power surged through his fingers, continuously destroying Fu Xiu’s Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Great Tao Foundation!

A moment later.

Boom!!

A crisp sound came from within Fu Xiu’s body, as his Great Tao Foundation and Spiritual Soul were simultaneously destroyed!

At the same time.

Within Chen Zhixing’s Dantian Divine Sea, the golden Life Book that floated quietly suddenly showed a line of twisted writing, seemingly written in fresh blood.

[Blazing Gold Fate: Heaven-Devouring Demon Body!]

[Fate Effect: Can enhance fate level by seizing similar attributes!]

[Seize now?]

Chen Zhixing did not hesitate, using his Divine Thought to write the characters for ’seize’ on the Life Book!

In an instant.

The page recording Chen Zhixing’s eight fates in the Life Book suddenly gained an additional Blazing Gold Fate, Heaven-Devouring Demon Body!

"It’s done."

Chen Zhixing casually threw down Fu Xiu’s corpse.

With this Heaven-Devouring Demon Body fate, he could now accumulate all his talents to an unprecedented degree!

"Next, once Xuu Fan and Meng Hedong are dealt with, this journey will be complete."

Chen Zhixing’s eyes flickered continuously.

After pondering for a moment.

Chen Zhixing turned around, smiling at Dugu Ni as he asked, "Well done. Is everything alright within the family recently?"

"Everything is fine. It’s just that little fellow Chen Buqi..."

Dugu Ni hesitated somewhat.

"What’s up with him?" Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow and asked.

Dugu Ni smiled wryly, "That little fellow is quite murderous. In just a few days, he has wiped out countless members of the Demon Faction and Demon Sect in Yanzhou, enough corpses to form hills."

"Moreover, his methods are extremely ruthless and cruel, those people died..."

Dugu Ni shook his head, clicking his tongue slightly.

After a pause, Dugu Ni changed the topic, "However, that little fellow’s cultivation is improving rapidly. He’s now at the Divine Travel Third Layer; it seems the more people he kills, the faster his strength grows."

Chen Zhixing couldn’t help but nod, feeling slightly distracted.

Cultivating the Path of Suffering, Chen Chou’er.

Cultivating the Scripture of the Dead, the Cursed Seal Youth Chen Buqi.

Sword Demon Dugu Ni, Thief Saint Hua Linghou.

And the gang leader Xuu Dalong.

Looking at those around him, there wasn’t a single proper person!

"Timing-wise, Hua Linghou should be back from the East Sea, shouldn’t he?" Chen Zhixing asked.

"He’s back."

Dugu Ni flipped his right hand, and a storage ring appeared in his palm.

"This is the Celestial Attraction Stone that Hua Linghou collected from the depths of the East Sea’s Meteor Sand Wind Belt."

"After giving me the storage ring, he rushed back to the depths of the East Sea again."

Then, Dugu Ni flipped his right hand again, revealing another storage ring in his palm.

"This one contains the Celestial Attraction Stones I collected in Jiangzhou. I haven’t finished collecting them yet, but since I’ve seen you, Young Master, I might as well hand them over to you first."

Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow and took the two storage rings to inspect.

Inside the first storage ring, there lay three small mountains of Celestial Attraction Stones.

Each small mountain weighed roughly a million jin.

Combined, the three small mountains totaled three million jin!

As for the Celestial Attraction Stones in Dugu Ni’s storage ring, they were much less, about a million jin in total.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Zhixing nodded. The two storage rings together contained a total of four million jin of Celestial Attraction Stones!

This meant they could provide him with four million jin of gravitational force!

If added to the one million jin of gravitational force Chen Zhixing currently possessed, that would be five million jin!

With the explosive power of five million jin of gravity, it could already have a notable effect.

"However, for me at the moment, five million jin of gravitational force is still a bit lacking."

Chen Zhixing shook his head, and after chatting with Dugu Ni for a few more moments, left the place.

...

...

An hour later.

When Chen Zhixing returned to the Celestial Wave Sacred Land South Peak, he found the entire South Peak in a noisy uproar.

"Did you hear? Some of our South Peak disciples who disappeared were all killed by Elder Fu Xiu!"

"Not just disciples! You know Elder Fu Shen who disappeared for a few days, right? He also fell victim to Elder Fu Xiu’s treachery!"

"It’s terrifying! To think that when I first joined the sect, I almost joined under Elder Fu Xiu!"

"It’s really a case of knowing a person’s face but not their heart! Who would have thought that Fu Xiu, an Elder of high status, would resort to such demonic methods?"

"The sect has now issued a warrant for Fu Xiu’s arrest. For now, it’s best to stay in, or we might risk running into Fu Xiu and losing our lives!"

"I heard that recently, the newly promoted Tao Seed, Xiao Ping, if not for the timely arrival of the three elders, might have been finished!"

Disciples whispered to each other, faces filled with surprise.

At the entrance of the South Peak Mountain Gate.

Li Ran, dressed in a purple palace dress with a horse-face skirt, was furrowing her eyebrows and pacing back and forth.

Seeing Chen Zhixing arrive, Li Ran immediately sighed in relief and reproached:

"Xiao Ping, where did you go?"

Chen Zhixing scratched his head and replied with a simple smile, "When Elder Fu Xiu fled, wasn’t he? I was afraid he’d chase me, so I wandered a few more rounds outside before coming back."

Upon hearing this, Li Ran rolled her eyes and retorted, "Wandering outside was even more dangerous, wasn’t it?"

"Alright, alright, let’s quickly head back to the peak top; the master has been worried about you."

With that, Li Ran instinctively took Chen Zhixing’s hand and headed for the mountain top.

Witnessing this, the disciples at the mountain gate raised their eyebrows and began whispering again.

Hearing the whispers of the disciples, Li Ran paused for a moment, then quickly let go of her hand, her cheeks flushed with a quick blush.

"These people, saying all sorts of nonsense." Li Ran muttered to herself, sneaking a quick glance at Chen Zhixing. Seeing Chen Zhixing’s usual expression, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside the South Peak Main Hall.

Moo Yuemei, dressed in a loose Taoist robe, with three thousand strands of blue silk coiled up, revealing her slender, fair swan neck, was frowning as she listened to the report from Fu Long and the other two.

With the narration of Fu Long and the others, Moo Yuemei’s expression became increasingly cold.

"It seems that Fu Xiu had long been planning this, taking advantage of my meeting with the Holy Master today to initiate his plot."

Moo Yuemei spoke coldly, then shifted the topic:

"Is Xiao Ping alright?"

Fu Long and the others quickly replied, "Reporting to the Peak Leader, Xiao Ping is unharmed, only startled."

Upon hearing this, Moo Yuemei nodded, her expression slightly easing.

If something happened to this genius blessed with an Innate Spiritual Body of Limit-Breaking level, dismembering Fu Xiu wouldn’t quell the bitterness in her heart!

"Even if we must search high and low, turn everything inside out, Fu Xiu must die! Otherwise, he poses a threat to countless disciples of our South Peak!"

Moo Yuemei spoke solemnly.

"Yes!" Fu Long and the others cupped their hands in agreement.

While they were conversing.

"Master, Elders, Xiao Ping has returned." Li Ran led Xiao Ping in from the outside of the hall.

"Xiao Ping, are you alright?"

Moo Yuemei looked at Chen Zhixing, her eyes showing a hint of concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Peak Leader. I am fine."

Chen Zhixing scratched his head, smiling simply in response.

Hearing this, Moo Yuemei finally relaxed fully.

"That’s good, please have a seat."

After Chen Zhixing took his seat.

Moo Yuemei spoke, "Today, the person responsible for investigating Xiao Ping’s identity within the sect has returned."

"What did they find?"

The three elders looked at Moo Yuemei.

"Everything was verified, with no issues at all."

"According to neighbors, Xiao Ping was incredibly intelligent from a young age, often able to memorize things instantly, and helped neighbors solve many problems, proving to have a very good nature."

Moo Yuemei spoke seriously, then turned the subject again:

"Since that’s the case, I think we should hold a full peak assembly tomorrow to announce Xiao Ping as our South Peak’s third True Inheritor!"

"What do you all think?"

As soon as she said this.

All three elders stood up and replied respectfully, "We will strictly follow the Peak Leader’s directive."

"Hmm."

Moo Yuemei nodded, then smiled gently at Xiao Ping, her gaze softening somewhat:

"Ping’er, you have no objections, right?"

Chen Zhixing’s eyes flashed, immediately standing up from his seat, stepping forward, and bowing deeply:

"Disciple Xiao Ping, thanks to the Peak Leader’s favor, I pledge to be eternally loyal!"
