Chapter 97: Chaos Erupts

  The most troublesome thing is interest.

  Chen Yi's words made it so that Yi Xiao and Li Xinyi looked at each other in a new light.

  Although everyone is a student of Qingyang Academy, after this treasure is snatched, whoever gets it will be the owner, and the academy will not intervene.

  So before the master came in, he had said that under the premise of no conflicting interests, everyone should take care of each other, but once there are conflicting interests, it's a matter of life and death, and wealth and honor are in heaven.

  Treasures, who doesn't want them? Chen Jiu wants them, Chen Yi wants them, and Yi Xiao also wants them. Everyone present wants them.

  Everyone present was anxious as they watched Chen Jiu slowly but surely approaching the treasure.

  Wang Yong's face turned ugly: "If I were to make a move, who can guarantee that you won't launch a sneak attack on me?"

  Li Mingyuan and his three brothers came to Wang Yong's side with long swords in hand: "We three brothers will protect you".

  Wang Yong looked around at the crowd, then his face was resolute: "Alright, with so many people here, you won't go back on your word. If I'm to get the treasure, it must be shared equally among us three brothers."

  After finishing speaking, Wang Yong said to his fellow disciples behind him: "Take care of my physical body, I'm going".

  After finishing speaking, a gust of yin wind blew up, and Wang Yong's yin spirit had escaped.

  Chen Jiu, although immersed in the midst of the fierce battle, was not oblivious to the outside world. Seeing Wang Yong's sinister appearance, he didn't fear the gravity and directly charged forward, coldly smiling: "Looking for death".

  A mighty aura surged forth, instantly forming a wall of energy. With a loud "Boom", the dark spirit that was rapidly approaching Wang Yong was knocked back, and in an instant, it returned to its physical body.

  "Haha, with me around, you can't get rid of the evil spirit that easily!" Chen Jiu said, continuing to practice his wild cow strength.

  Wang Yong's face turned pale and it took a while for the color to return: "Chen Jiu, you're going too far. Are you trying to monopolize the treasure?"

  Chen Jiu did not speak, apparently he had tacitly agreed to this matter.

  Now everyone is skeptical, if Chen Jiu didn't have the intention of monopolizing the treasure, who would believe it?

  Chen Jiu's thoughts of secretly keeping the treasure were already apparent, and all the cultivators became anxious. Li Mingyuan turned to his two junior brothers behind him and said, "Protect me."

  "After saying that, he looked at Wang Yong again and then at the many Taoist priests behind him: 'Everyone rushes out together, I don't believe Chen Jiu is so powerful that he can block all of us. As long as one person can break through, victory will be within our grasp'".

  Just then, the bellowing of the fierce ox was heard again, and Chen Jiu had already stepped onto the seventh stone step.

  "How come so fast?"

  "Everyone is out of their mind."

  A gust of dark wind blew up, and seven dark spirits floated in the void. Lin Mingyuan's physical body was dominated by the yang spirit, who picked up the treasure sword on his body and threw it into the air, where it was caught by the yin spirits.

  The remaining six Wang Yong took up their weapons and hid in the shadows, driving their weapons towards Chen Jiu.

  The sword was heavy, with a strong quality, and the quality was naturally constrained by gravity. Just as it barely crossed the six steps, I felt that the flying sword in my hand was as heavy as Mount Tai, and it was unbearable to press down. The six long swords fell to the ground one after another, and the yin god escaped from the body.

  Chen Jiu closed his eyes, and the vigorous movements of the cow in his hand did not stop.

  Just as Wang Yong was about to fly over the seventh step, he saw Chen Jiu's seventh step. Chen Jiu's cheeks puffed out, and suddenly a loud roar came from his mouth: "ROAR".

  The sound of the wild and desolate land spread out, the ancient wild ox's bellowing voice was extraordinary in its power, even the air seemed to vibrate with a clear tremor.

  Wang Yong's movement involuntarily paused for a moment.

  It was at this moment that Chen Jiu calmly stretched out his right hand and lightly swung his palm, with the vigorous energy of blood and qi surging forth.

  Wang Yong's yin spirit collided with Chen Jiu's gang yang blood energy, and after a mournful cry, it was blocked back.

  Blood and energy, the power of yang can overcome yin spirit, but it depends on who has a higher state.

  Chen Jiu's strength realm is obviously higher than Wang Yong, and Chen Jiu has now washed his marrow and cut his body, with immortal muscles and jade bones, his blood energy is even more pure, and his masculine power is stronger.

  The remaining few Yin gods did not rush to pass through the customs, but instead cast spells one after another towards Chen Jiu.

  All sorts of illusions came one after another, with water and fire attacking in tandem.

  Chen Jiu felt a surge of exhaustion, his face changed, and he scolded: "You few fools, if I couldn't climb the stairs, you won't be able to get that treasure either. Do you think you can retrieve the treasure with just your few evil spirits? Don't forget that the treasure is also physical and has weight. You can barely move a sword under its own gravity, do you think you can lift the treasure in the massive gravity of the 12th floor?"

  As soon as Chen Jiu spoke, the crowd below was stunned, and even those few evil spirits who had escaped were stunned. They looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do.

  "Chen Jiu, if you want to pass through safely and climb the stone steps, then you must agree to our conditions. Otherwise, I'll let these evil spirits harass you and see what you can do," said Chen Yi with a hearty laugh.

  "You think you can negotiate with me? You don't know the difference between heaven and earth. I won't let you, what can you do to me? I really don't believe you can stir up much trouble." Chen Jiu looked at Chen Yi disdainfully, and simply released the seal, letting that yin spirit fly over as it pleased.

  After those few dark spirits flew over and were about to approach the treasure, they saw a golden light shoot out from the treasure, and the six dark spirits were knocked back into their bodies.

  Chen Jiu laughed even harder: "Haha, it seems that this treasure is not destined for you, you might as well go back."

  Li Mingyuan's face was gloomy: "Chen Jiu, even if we can't succeed in getting the treasure, interfering with you is enough. You won't be able to get the treasure, what will you do?"

  "Nobody can stop me, you can't, none of you can."

  "Is that so? Then let's try it out," said Li Mingyuan.

  "Try it and try again" Chen Jiu didn't say another word, continuing his own stubborn efforts.

  Several dark spirits emerged again, this time Chen Jiu mainly defended and did not block several people, the spiritual power consumed was far from that great.

  That yin spirit slightly approached Chen Jiu and was shocked by his surging blood.

  "Impossible! How can you possess such a dense aura? This is impossible, unless you've broken through the Earthly Boundary!" Li Mingyuan's face turned pale with shock as his yin energy quickly returned to his body.

  Chen Jiuyi smiled and did not answer.

  Di Sha, it's just a divine boundary, Chen Jiu is still short of 108,000 miles.

  Sometimes, even if the accumulation is sufficient, it still needs external force to break through the boundary and understand the realm of martial arts.

  Chen Jiu's qi and blood are extremely dense, due to his immortal muscles and jade bones, plus the continuous operation of the mighty cow under the weight of hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times gravity. In ancient times, everyone's qi and blood were like dragons, Chen Jiu's realm is still far behind.

  "Chen Jiu, you're impressive, but aren't you afraid that after getting the treasure, all of us here will gang up on you?" Chen Yi said with a deep breath.

  "Chen Yi, we're from the same academy, shouldn't we discuss things together? Why are you helping outsiders deal with Chen Jiu?" Yi Xiao Xiao said discontentedly.

  "It's the same academy, but not the same family. With so many students in the academy, whether I know them or not, must I help each and every one of them? What can be relied upon is still oneself; relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. The most precious things are safest when kept in one's own hands. Besides, how can a trivial relationship between fellow students compare to the most precious things?"

  Chen Yi smiled and said: "One thing Chen Jiu said is right, friends are used to stab you in the back or stab you with a knife."

  "Chen Yi, how could you?!" Yi Xiao seemed as if she had never met Chen Yi before.

  "Xiao Xiao, I'm telling you solemnly, I also have a family. The prosperity of the family is above everything else. Friends? Friendship? What's that compared to the prosperity of the family? Family is a person's eternal reliance. As for so-called friendship, it's simply worthless to us."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Yi didn't bother to pay attention to Yi Xiao Xiao, but instead looked at Li Mingyuan: "Brother Li, I'm afraid I have to trouble you again. Today, we must force Chen Jiu to bow his head, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain."

  Li Mingyuan smiled and nodded, looking at Chen Jiu who was still meditating with his eyes closed. He chuckled: "Chen Jiu, did you hear that? I, Li Mingyuan, didn't want to fight you initially, but Brother Chen's enthusiasm is hard to refuse, and I couldn't decline either. Besides, the treasure everyone wants, do you want to reconsider?"
