Chapter 481: Intercepting the Inscription, Enraging Ling Xiao

Ling Xiao's figure flickered, instantly rushing out of the Magic Array.

He landed on the ground, gasping for breath heavily.

The other attendants hurriedly gathered around him.

“Young Lord, are you alright?”

Ling Xiao waved his hand. “I'm fine.”

He looked up at Zhou Chen, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

“Thank you for saving me.”

Zhou Chen said indifferently, “The Young Lord is too polite.”

“Protecting the Young Lord is my duty.”

Ling Xiao nodded and said nothing more.

He turned to look at the wooden box on the stone platform.

After the Magic Array collapsed, the wooden box still lay quietly on the stone platform, emitting a faint spiritual light.

Ling Xiao walked quickly to the stone platform and reached out to pick up the wooden box.

At that moment, Zhou Chen suddenly spoke.

“Young Lord, wait.”

Ling Xiao stopped his movements and looked back at Zhou Chen.

“What is it?”

Zhou Chen's Divine Sense swept over the wooden box, and he said, “There is still a layer of Restriction on this wooden box.”

“If you open it rashly, I'm afraid it will trigger the Restriction and bring danger.”

Ling Xiao frowned.

“Then what should be done?”

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment and said, “Let me try.”

He walked to the stone platform and pressed his hand on the wooden box.

The chaos bell flew out of his body, hovering above the wooden box.

The body of the bell emitted a faint golden light, and the qian inscription and inscription of kun flowed upon it.

Zhou Chen activated his Immortal Spiritual Power, pouring it into the wooden box.

The wooden box suddenly trembled.

Countless runes emerged from the wooden box, turning into a light barrier that enveloped it.

Zhou Chen's Divine Sense probed into the light barrier, carefully examining the structure of the Restriction.

The Restriction was extremely complex, with runes densely packed and intertwined.

However, Zhou Chen had once received the Legacies of several ancient Immortal Emperors, and his understanding of Restrictions far exceeded that of ordinary people.

He quickly found the method to break the Restriction.

Zhou Chen activated the chaos bell, and its body emitted an even more dazzling light.

The qian inscription and inscription of kun flowed on the bell's body, emitting an aura that suppressed all things.

The runes of the Restriction began to tremble and then collapsed one by one.

Finally, under the suppression of the chaos bell, the Restriction completely dissipated.

The light barrier on the wooden box disappeared, revealing its original appearance.

Zhou Chen withdrew the chaos bell and reached out to open the wooden box.

Inside the wooden box lay a palm-sized Inscription.

The Inscription was entirely cyan, flickering with countless profound patterns.

A flash of joy appeared in Zhou Chen's eyes.

“xun inscription!”

When Ling Xiao saw the Inscription, a flash of greed also appeared in his eyes.

“What is this?”

Zhou Chen said indifferently, “This is an ancient Inscription, containing powerful dao principle power.”

“If refined, it can greatly increase one's cultivation.”

Hearing this, the greed in Ling Xiao's eyes grew even more intense.

“In that case, give the Inscription to me.”

He reached out, wanting to snatch the Inscription from Zhou Chen's hand.

Zhou Chen, however, suddenly withdrew his hand and held the Inscription in his palm.

Ling Xiao's face darkened.

“What do you mean by this?”

Zhou Chen said indifferently, “Young Lord, although this Inscription is powerful, it is also extremely dangerous.”

“If you refine it rashly, I'm afraid it will lead to an accident.”

“Why don't you let me check it for you first, and after confirming everything is correct, I will hand it over to you.”

Ling Xiao's brow furrowed tightly.

He could feel that Zhou Chen's attitude was a bit off.

However, Ling Xiao didn't think too much about it.

He nodded. “Fine, then I'll trouble you.”

Zhou Chen cupped his hands. “Rest assured, Young Lord.”

He turned around and walked to the side, pretending to examine the Inscription.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intercepting the Fragmented Xun Inscription!]

[Triggered Ten Thousand Times Critical Return!]

[Obtained the Complete Xun Inscription!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 System Energy points!]

The System's notification sounded in his mind.

Zhou Chen was delighted.

In the next moment, the fragmented Inscription in his hand began to vibrate.

The Inscription emitted a dazzling cyan light and then turned into a stream of light, rushing into Zhou Chen's body.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao's face changed drastically.

“What did you do?”

Zhou Chen turned around and said indifferently, “Apologies, Young Lord.”

“This Inscription seems to have recognized me as its master.”

Ling Xiao flew into a rage.

“You dare to betray me?”

He raised his hand and waved, and a golden pillar of light surged from his palm, heading straight for Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen's face remained calm as he raised his hand and waved.

The chaos bell flew out of his body, instantly expanding and blocking his front.

Boom!

The pillar of light crashed into the chaos bell, making a heaven-shaking roar.

The chaos bell vibrated violently, but it still steadily blocked the attack.

Ling Xiao's face turned ashen.

“Good, very good.”

“I'd like to see what ability you have to dare to betray me.”

As his voice fell, he attacked again.

Countless golden pillars of light surged from all directions, completely enveloping Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen activated the chaos bell, and its body emitted a faint golden light.

The qian inscription, inscription of kun, and xun inscription flowed on the bell's body, emitting a terrifying pressure.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The pillars of light continuously struck the chaos bell, making deafening roars.

However, the chaos bell remained unmoved.

Ling Xiao's face became more and more unsightly.

“Damn it!”

“How can your defense be so strong?”

Zhou Chen said indifferently, “Guess.”

He raised his hand and waved.

The qingping sword flew out of his body, turning into a stream of light and heading straight for Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly activated his Magic Treasure to resist.

However, the power of the qingping sword was too strong.

Wherever the sword light passed, Ling Xiao's Magic Treasure was instantly sliced in half.

Ling Xiao retreated in terror.

“You… who exactly are you?”

Zhou Chen did not answer; his figure flickered and instantly disappeared from where he stood.

By the time Ling Xiao reacted, Zhou Chen had already left the ruins.

Ling Xiao stood on the spot, his face ashen.

“Young Lord, should we pursue?”

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth. “Pursue!”

“No matter what, we must capture him!”

Zhou Chen activated his Escape Light, his speed reaching the extreme.

Behind him, Ling Xiao led his attendants in hot pursuit.

“Stop!”

Ling Xiao roared and struck out dozens of palms.

Countless golden palm prints whistled through the air, containing terrifying power.

Zhou Chen didn't even look back as he raised his hand and waved.

The chaos bell flew out of his body, blocking behind him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The palm prints crashed into the chaos bell, making a heaven-shaking roar.

Zhou Chen's figure paused slightly before continuing forward.

Ling Xiao's face became more and more unsightly.

“Damn it!”

“How can this guy's speed be so fast?”

The twelve attendants also had solemn expressions.

They desperately activated their Escape Lights, yet they were still unable to catch up with Zhou Chen.

After Zhou Chen had flown for roughly tens of thousands of miles, a massive mountain range appeared ahead.

The mountain range was rolling and undulating, shrouded in clouds and mist.

Zhou Chen's figure flickered as he rushed into the depths of the mountain range.

Ling Xiao followed closely behind.

However, after entering the mountain range, Zhou Chen's figure suddenly vanished.

Ling Xiao stopped in his tracks, his Divine Sense sweeping across the surroundings.

“Where is he?”

The twelve attendants also activated their Divine Senses, searching carefully.

However, the mountain range was filled with clouds and mist, and their Divine Senses were greatly interfered with.

They were simply unable to find a trace of Zhou Chen.

Ling Xiao's face was ashen.

“Confound it!”

“He got away!”

He gritted his teeth and said, “Everyone, split up and search.”

“No matter what, find him!”

The attendants responded and dispersed, searching in different directions.
