Chapter 200: What the Xuanwu Nation Hides Is Not Xuanwu
Chu Xingchen glanced sideways at Qinghe, who had transformed back into a flood dragon and was madly rushing towards Cangzhou.
Staying behind this time wasn't because Chu Xingchen was arrogant, thinking his Karma Nascent Soul and the Great Dianfeng Peak Perfection Realm Nascent Soul cultivation could defeat a Soul Formation cultivator of unknown level.
Although Qinghe's cultivation had reached Nascent Soul, his perception was clearly lacking.
This Soul Formation cultivator was absolutely not a legitimate one.
When Chu Xingchen avenged his own apprentice in Central State, he had encountered a Soul Formation cultivator.
Even though that Soul Formation cultivator was half-buried in the dirt, he still possessed that extremely unique flavor of Soul Formation.
It gave Chu Xingchen a slight sense of dread, and even with his Karma Nascent Soul fully activated, he had to handle it with care.
Benefiting from this experience, and since this thing was rushing over desperately with its aura and spiritual power fully unleashed, Chu Xingchen directly captured it.
It was far from having that unique aura of Soul Formation.
As long as it wasn't a pure, true Soul Formation cultivator, Chu Xingchen really wasn't afraid.
Chu Xingchen concealed his aura and ambushed himself in the direction that aura was heading straight for.
In short, he would know the specific situation when he used the system to detect it later, and then he would improvise.
If he really couldn't beat it, he would just give Qinghe a heads-up.
Anyway, Cangzhou wasn't far from here, and Qinghe also had a magic treasure to protect his body.
Chu Xingchen quietly calmed his mind.
A moment later, Chu Xingchen saw the source of the aura—a massive giant turtle, with a slightly crimson demonic energy swirling around it.

Boom!
Qinghe only sensed a manic spiritual power fluctuation coming from behind him.
Immediately after, a loud sound echoed through the wilderness surroundings.
Qinghe didn't dare look back, only probing with his divine sense.
Within his divine sense, a familiar Karma Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect, holding a Flowing Spirit Sword, hacked fiercely at the giant turtle.
Two massive spiritual powers rapidly intertwined.
Just the aftermath flattened the surrounding wilderness forests into flat ground, and the center of the battle directly became a giant pit.
Just from the spiritual power of the battle aftermath, Qinghe could know how intense the situation over there was at this moment.
Furthermore!
Based on this Karma Nascent Soul!
Indeed!
It was this black-hearted kid who hit me with a stick that day!
Qinghe wasn't actually that angry now; after all, it would be wrong if this black-hearted kid admitted to it.
Moreover, this black-hearted kid probably felt a bit embarrassed too, sometimes specially buying him food, and when Xie Lingyu was angry and wanted to beat him up, he would block it for him.
It could be considered settling the score for now.
However... what actually made Qinghe feel somewhat dissatisfied was Li Xingtian.
He had stayed with him for quite a few days and done many things.
Qinghe had also tried to fish for information from Li Xingtian indirectly, but this kid didn't change his expression, casually dismissing his questions with a few sentences.
I didn't expect that kid with thick brows and big eyes to be an honest person; I didn't expect him to be an old actor either.
However, it might also be necessary to blame Li Xingtian's master!
It must be that black-hearted kid who corrupted the honest Li Xingtian!
Li Xingtian must have been an honest brat before!
In his divine sense, the black-hearted kid actually didn't fall into a disadvantage.
Although Qinghe was unwilling to admit it, he also understood that this black-hearted kid counted as the cunning type even in Central State.
His flood dragon brain definitely couldn't outplay Chu Xingchen.
Listening to his arrangements honestly now was the safest move.
Qinghe withdrew his divine sense and madly rushed towards Cangzhou City.
Xie Lingyu and Li Xingtian were currently standing above the Cangzhou Great River.
Both of them watched the magnificent and incredibly realistic Xuanwu giant statue step onto the Cangzhou Great River step by step.
At this moment, Cangzhou City had the flavor of being in complete chaos.
Not only were people deliberately causing trouble in the city and malicious attacks by cultivators, but many of the demon soldiers in the Cangzhou Great River who could come ashore also began to join in.
When Xie Lingyu wanted to pacify the situation in the city first, she was stopped by Li Xingtian—the situation inside the city was complicated and crude.
Aside from the Demon Suppression Division, they couldn't clearly distinguish who was causing trouble and who was helping there.
However, those river creatures were genuine demons.
Li Xingtian suggested that the two of them be responsible for clearing out the demon soldiers preparing to come ashore, thereby relieving pressure on the Demon Suppression Division inside Cangzhou City.
Secondly, the sudden chaos in Cangzhou City meant it must be the time to act as Master said.
They could just kill their way to the vicinity of the Cangzhou Great River to investigate the situation.
Li Xingtian's plan was well-founded, so Xie Lingyu naturally agreed.
The two had barely just killed their way to the riverside when they sensed the Xuanwu giant statue formed by Xuanhuang Qi.
Although the Xuanwu giant statue was massive, its speed was extremely fast.
In just a moment, it stepped from the horizon onto the Great River.
Li Xingtian stared intently at the Xuanwu and said: "This Xuanwu is not a complete entity! This is probably the ritual. This Xuanwu came from the north, from the direction of Chizhou. Master has no reason not to know, and the thief hasn't come here either. I'm afraid Master has encountered the thief."
Li Xingtian took out two compasses from his spatial ring and handed one of them to Xie Lingyu nearby.
"This is a compass for controlling the array base; it was simplified by Master. Just probe with your divine sense. The array bases here aren't set up enough, but I hope it can delay Master for a bit of time."
Xie Lingyu reached out and took the compass.
Xuanwu stepped into the Great River, raised its front foot, and stepped into the water vein of the Great River with a furious shout!
Boom!
The Great River was directly stepped on by Xuanwu until the flow was cut off.
The water of the Great River flooded the surroundings, and the thick Xuanhuang Qi crazily flowed towards the water vein.
A moment later, the Xuanwu giant statue, seemingly having found something, shifted its figure towards a place.
After reaching the spot, the tail of the Xuanwu giant statue suddenly smashed towards the water surface.
This time, the river didn't stop flowing; instead, the tail of the Xuanwu giant statue went straight into the water, stirring it as if looking for something.
Seeing this scene, Xie Lingyu speculated: "It is probably looking for Tengshe to become a true Xuanwu..."
Just as Li Xingtian was about to nod in agreement with this point, the tail of the Xuanwu giant statue suddenly lifted, and a stream of pale golden luck followed the tail of Xuanwu lifting up.
However, just as this pale golden luck was pulled out of the water, it was hooked and pulled by chains formed from Xuanhuang Qi.
At this moment, the national destiny of the Xuanwu Nation was already weak, and the Xuanhuang Qi iron chains constructed by this national destiny could no longer withstand the violent pulling of Xuanwu!
Xuanwu roared and forcibly pulled this pale golden luck out of the water.
However, this pale golden luck did not turn into Tengshe as Xie Lingyu and Li Xingtian had imagined.
Instead... it turned into a pale golden wordless great stele and was carried directly on the back of Xuanwu.
Seeing this scene, Li Xingtian instantly understood the situation!
This Xuanwu was actually not Xuanwu, but Baxia!
The sixth son of the True Dragon in legend!
What the Xuanwu Nation was hiding here was not Xuanwu.
It was Baxia!
Li Xingtian deeply suspected that the name of this Xuanwu Nation was probably deliberately chosen by Emperor Zhao to cover people's eyes!
Unofficial history really harms people!
Baxia had just carried the golden luck on its back.
At the horizon, Qinghe finally arrived as well, and its figure went straight towards Baxia.
