"Hmph, Ouyang Hu, you are one of the nine great experts of the empire, and he is only fifteen years old this year. "You only managed to severely injure him with your full strength, yet you still refuse to let him go!" The principal roared."No matter what, I will not allow you to harm my student in front of me. If you must kill him, then defeat me first!”，As she spoke, she put her hand on her wrist and quickly swung it, making a gesture to let Xuanyuan Chen leave quickly.
When Xuanyuan Chen saw this, he bowed slightly and suddenly ran away.
"You dare to escape?" Ouyang Hu saw that Xuanyuan Chen was running away. He did not have time to pay attention to the mockery in the principal's words. He shouted angrily and his figure flashed. He wanted to go around the principal and chase after him.
"Humph! Ouyang Hu, do you think my words are like wind blowing past your ears?”The principal's indifferent voice rang out. He did not seem to do anything, but he had already intercepted the third elder. At this time, Xuanyuan Chen had already disappeared.
" You!" Third Elder roared, but he did not do anything else. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he didn't dare to. This was because when the principal stood in front of him, a shocking invisible aura had already locked onto the Third Elder. Even with the Third Elder's strength, he actually felt a great pressure. He felt as if he was about to be crushed by this invisible pressure. He instantly understood the gap between him and the principal.
The number one expert of the empire was not just for show.
The Third Elder was stunned by the principal, and the Great Elder was also shocked. His strength was only about the same as the Third Elder. Although the principal did not deliberately lock onto him, he could feel the invisible force that locked onto the Third Elder. He also knew the difference between him and the principal. He knew that even if he joined forces with the Third Elder, he would not be a match for the other party.
"It's still the same sentence. Today's matter will be over on my account. You can go back and let her go. Otherwise, you'll have to defeat me first.”Seeing that the two of them did not dare to act rashly, the principal said seriously.
"Hmph, what a big shot. Come on then.”The Third Elder said. Of course, his strength alone was not enough. Adding on the fact that the First Elder could still fight, the strength of the king that they were facing could not be underestimated.
"Good!" the principal replied.
On the other side, Xuanyuan Chen also knew what the principal meant. The Ouyang family did not dare to openly search for him at this time. Xuanyuan Chen knew that this was the best time for him to escape from the capital.
Xuanyuan Chen didn't regret saving people today. He was willing to take his life, let alone suffer serious injuries, but the premise was that he could save Xuanyuan Yi. However, now that he had not been rescued, he had also fallen to the point of fleeing for his life. He felt indignant.
"Ouyang Clan, if anything happens to Xuanyuan Yi, as long as I don't die, the day I return will be the day your Ouyang Clan is exterminated!”Xuanyuan Chen was in a secret place, facing the direction of the Ouyang family. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said softly,"Sword Demon, it's all up to you now!”Xuanyuan Chen said to the Destruction Sword in his hand.
"No problem." Sword Demon replied, and then his voice turned cold."If it wasn't for the fact that I wanted Master to train well, I really wanted to destroy the Ouyang family right now! Yes, Master, what are your plans now?”
"Plans?" Xuanyuan Chen was slightly stunned. He had never considered this question. After all, he had never left the capital! He really didn't know where to go when he suddenly asked. After a while, he said,"Let's go abroad first!"
"Is that so?" Sword Demon pondered for a moment and said,"I see.""Since that's the case, it seems that I have to let Master go there in advance!”
"Advance? Where is that?" Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
"That is a place that can greatly increase Master's strength.”Sword Demon said in a deep voice, and then he rode Xuanyuan Chen's body and flashed away.
Xuanyuan Chen was missing!
He had lost his trace even though the Ouyang family had searched the whole city. Similarly, the people that the Shangguan family had secretly sent to help Xuanyuan Chen could not find him. It was as if he had evaporated into thin air.
In this regard, the Shangguan family could only sigh that they had lost an opportunity to show their goodwill to the person who might be infinitely deceiving in the future. However, the Ouyang family was furious, especially the third elder. When the people came back to report that they could not find Xuanyuan Chen, he was so angry that he scolded these people for being useless. His son had been killed, and the murderer had left right in front of him. Now that he had mobilized the entire clan's strength, he only got the conclusion that he had disappeared. How could he accept this?
Ou Yangming, the clan leader of the Ouyang family, looked extremely upset. Xuanyuan Chen's 'disappearance' was no different from a huge slap to the Ouyang family. As the clan leader, it was like a slap to his face, and it was painful.
But what could he do?
"Continue searching. I don't believe that this kid can go to heaven or earth.”Ou Yangming told every batch of people who came back to report with a sullen face. Even if they couldn't find him, they still had to make him look like one. The Third Elder was one of the few experts in the clan. He was also the think tank of the Ouyang Clan and the core figure of the Ouyang Clan. As the clan leader, he had to do everything he could to comfort his wounded heart.
However, there was no good news from the Ouyang family's actions. They even mobilized all the instruments that could detect energy fluctuations in the Ouyang family. Until late at night, they still did not find Xuanyuan Chen. Although the patriarch was still giving orders to find Xuanyuan Chen at all costs, in the hearts of the Ouyang family, they knew that Xuanyuan Chen might have fled the country! Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to avoid the Ouyang Clan's inescapable net in the capital and the earth-shattering search operation.
However, there was one thing that was very surprising about the Xuanyuan family's reaction. It could be said that as a royal family, when their descendants were being searched by the Ouyang family, they did not make any movements at all. They did not even make a statement. It was as if the Ouyang family was searching for someone who had nothing to do with the Xuanyuan family.
Could it be that the Xuanyuan family was so afraid of the Ouyang family? Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Ouyang family was being hunted down on the surface because Xuanyuan Chen had killed the Ouyang family's people, but such a big movement, wasn't this a declaration to the Xuanyuan family?
They did not send anyone to stop the Ouyang family's actions, nor did they send anyone to support the Ouyang family. The silence of the Xuanyuan family fell into the eyes of those who were interested, and they could not help but secretly analyze the mysteries of it. Moreover, the Shangguan family also showed signs of stirring, which made it feel that a storm was coming.
The Empire was unstable! This was the unanimous opinion of some people.
However, no matter what happened to the empire, it seemed to have nothing to do with Xuanyuan Chen.
At the entrance of a mountain forest, Xuanyuan Chen sat on a big tree. The dense branches and the darkness of the night made it impossible for anyone to notice his existence unless someone climbed up the tree.
"Sword Demon, what is this place? Is this the place that you said could greatly increase my strength?”Xuanyuan Chen placed the Destruction Sword on his lap, but his eyes were looking ahead.
Sword Demon was completely integrated into the darkness of the night. Even Xuanyuan Chen could only feel that he was in front of him, but he could not be seen by the naked eye. " Of course not." Sword Demon's voice sounded." Although I have plans to let you go there earlier, Master, it's not now." Before master's strength had reached the Dou Huang class, he would not be able to go there. As for this place, it was in the northern part of the Empire. Some people called it the Magic Aura Refining Forest, but others called it the Magic Forest.”
"Magic Qi Refinement Forest?"
Xuanyuan Chen took a deep breath and paused. He had heard of this name when he was in the academy. It was a terrifying legend in the empire. It was rumored that there were a large number of Magic Monsters living in the Magic Qi Refining Forest. There were actually rank 9 Magic Monsters among them. It was rumored that quite a number of experts with the strength of a Dou Zong had once entered it, but none of them were able to come out. Therefore, some people guessed that there might be something even more terrifying than rank 9 Magic Monsters inside.
"You don't want me to go in, do you?" Xuanyuan Chen asked doubtfully.
"Hehe, what's wrong with that? Although Master can only display the strength of a Dou Huang while I am only a spirit body, and can at most display a strength that is a little stronger than a tier 9 Dou Huang but a little weaker than a Dou Zong, this does not affect Master from entering the Magic Qi Refining Forest to train.”Sword Demon said calmly.
Xuanyuan Chen was slightly stunned when he heard that. It was precisely because of this strength that Xuanyuan Chen gave up on the idea of letting Sword Demon control his body to return to the Ouyang family to save Xuanyuan Yi. The Ouyang family was known as the second largest family in the empire, and no one knew the depth of their foundation. The Sword Demon could only display a strength that was a little stronger than a tier 9 Dou Huang. It was likely that he would not be able to rescue the person from the hands of the Ouyang clan. He might even lose Xuanyuan Chen's life. Of course, Xuanyuan Chen was not sure if the Sword Demon could only display a strength that was a little stronger than a tier 9 Dou Huang.
However, there was one thing he knew. After all, the Sword Demon only existed as a soul, so he could not fight for a long time. This was what really made Xuanyuan Chen give up the idea of saving Xuanyuan Yi from the Ouyang family.
"I hope the Ouyang Clan won't do anything to kill Xuanyuan Yi.”Xuanyuan Chen sighed in his heart and then looked at Sword Demon,""Really? I've heard about the terror of the magic Qi Refinement Forest. If I go in, won't I be courting death?”
"Hehe, how is that possible? Master, how can I let you go in and die! That's right, there were indeed examples of Dou Zongs who had entered but were unable to come out. However, had master ever thought that after those people entered, they would definitely head straight for the core of the Magic Qi Refining Forest? Hence, they would all be killed by the high level magic monsters inside. However, Master was different. Master could first slowly train in the outer area of the magic qi refinement forest. Our goal is not to investigate the terrifying existence within the Magic Qi Refining Forest that can cause even a Dou Zong to lose their lives. Instead, we want master to enter and train. As long as master's strength can reach the Dou Huang class, he will leave this Magic Qi Refining Forest. In that case, they should not provoke the high-level magic monsters in the magic qi refinement forest. Moreover, only in the presence of such danger could one's fighting spirit be refined. That was why Sword Demon brought him here.”
