Fantasy Antagonist: After I Acted Lazy, The Protagonist Went Off The Rails.

"He wants to help you kill Qin Ershi?"

The old man's heart trembled, filled with immense shock.

Qin Ershi, one of the three great geniuses of the human race.

Although not as talented as Jiang Chen, his talent was still considered exceptional in the entire Nine Heavens Realm.

If Dugu Yun could devour him, he would undoubtedly soar to the top, stepping into the ranks of the unparalleled geniuses.

However, the old man couldn't help but feel that something was amiss.

"It's good for you that Dugu Xiong can help you kill Qin Ershi!"

"But once you kill Qin Ershi, it will provoke the anger of the Great Qin Empire. The entire empire will hunt you down!"

"Besides, your identity will be easily exposed!"

"I know you want to say that you can hide your aura and not be detected by others!"

Seeing Dugu Yun about to speak, the old man interrupted directly, saying in a deep voice, "Even if you hide all your aura, it doesn't mean that no one will know!"

"The eyes and ears of the Immortal forces are beyond your imagination, especially the Void Hall, which is the most special force in the Nine Heavens Realm. They are well-informed about all kinds of news!"

"Once you kill Qin Ershi, the Great Qin Empire will spare no effort to find out the identity of the killer. Dugu Xiong may not be afraid, but you will be in danger!"

"Once your identity is exposed, you will face endless pursuit from the Great Qin Empire!"

"Moreover, you may not succeed!"

"Although Dugu Xiong is powerful, Qin Ershi's identity is not simple. The strength of the Protector is bound to be extraordinary. Even if Dugu Xiong personally takes action, he may not be able to defeat him!"

"Furthermore, once something happens, the strong of the Great Qin Empire will come to support!"

"At that time, not only will you not obtain Qin Ershi's body, but your identity will also be exposed!"

"I advise against taking the risk!"

The old man said in a deep voice.

If he could devour Qin Ershi, Dugu Yun would truly take off.

But the danger was too great, and the consequences were significant.

The old man still believed that it was better to be cautious.

Although being cautious would take more time, he could quietly develop in the end.

It would be different if he attacked Qin Ershi.

He would be trapped in an endless cycle of calamity.

The relentless pursuit of the Immortal forces was no joke.

"I understand what Master is thinking!"

"But Qin Ershi is crucial to me. If I can devour him, the distance between me and Jiang Chen will quickly close!"

"Besides, if I don't take risks, how can I gain great rewards?"

"Being steady and solid is good, but there's no harm in taking a chance!"

"Moreover, opportunities often come with dangers. If I see danger and don't take action, wouldn't I let the opportunity slip away?"

Dugu Yun understood what the old man was saying.

But he didn't agree.

Although it involved some risks, the rewards would be substantial.

"Master, you have often told me that opportunities should not be missed!"

"Now is the time. This is my chance!"

"If I don't seize it this time, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

"Besides, cultivating the Immortal Devouring Technique itself is to be an enemy of the world. At most, I'm just advancing a little earlier!"

"If I don't have the heart to be an enemy of the world, how can I achieve the supreme path?"

Dugu Yun countered.

After hearing Dugu Xiong's offer to help him, he had made up his mind.

No matter what others said, he couldn't change it.

Because this was an opportunity that might not come again.

Opportunities should not be missed.

If he missed this opportunity and gave up, he would regret it endlessly in the future.

Dugu Yun didn't want to lose this chance!

"Ah!"

"You decide for yourself!"

The old man's tone was complicated.

Dugu Yun's words were not without reason.

Opportunities themselves come with dangers.

And opportunities are hard to come by, not everyone has the opportunity like Dugu Yun.

Not everyone has a father like Dugu Xiong.

Even though he knew the dangers were great, Dugu Yun still wanted to take a chance.

In order to shorten the distance between him and Jiang Chen.

Because he understood, the old man didn't try to persuade Dugu Yun.

Because he knew that Dugu Yun had already made up his mind.

Even if he advised earnestly, Dugu Yun would not listen.

"Perhaps it's time to consider replacing someone!" the old man pondered in his heart.

Dugu Yun is too dangerous, provoking one person today and another tomorrow.

Moreover, the forces he provokes are not simple.

The old man is worried that one day, Dugu Yun will lead him to his death.

To prevent such a thing from happening.

The old man plans to prepare an escape route.

He really dares not continue to be with Dugu Yun.

He can almost foresee that after dealing with Qin Ershi, Dugu Yun will face countless pursuits!

If it were ordinary forces, it would be fine.

But how can he deal with an immortal force?

Even in his prime, he needed to be cautious.

Not to mention that he is just a remnant soul.

Holy Land of Absolute Beginning.

Mu Jianxue brought Ye Qingcheng to the depths of the palace.

"You're back!"

The Primordial Saint Lord looked at Ye Qingcheng in front of him, with a complicated expression, pointing to the seat beside him and saying lightly, "Sit!"

"I have something to ask you!"

Ye Qingcheng sat quietly in the chair, quietly looking at the Primordial Saint Lord.

Mu Jianxue had already left.

"How is your relationship with Jiang Chen?"

The Primordial Saint Lord pondered for a moment and asked.

Ye Qingcheng's expression stiffened, took a deep breath, and helplessly said, "Perhaps it's like strangers. Ordinary disciples are closer to their fellow disciples than to their senior brothers!"

After knowing those thoughts.

Ye Qingcheng understood in his heart that his relationship with Jiang Chen had long been broken.

There is no chance in the future.

"Why is that?"

"When you left the Holy Land, I saw that your relationship with him was still good?"

The Primordial Saint Lord frowned, wanting to understand the truth of the matter.

"It's not Senior Brother's fault, it's all the disciple's fault!"

"In the past, Senior Brother saved the disciple, but the disciple mistook Senior Brother for the culprit and has been hostile towards him!"

"After Senior Brother found out, he completely cut off ties with the disciple!"

Ye Qingcheng said truthfully.

There was no hiding or exaggeration.

That's how it happened.

Upon hearing this.

The Primordial Saint Lord's mouth slightly opened, obviously also surprised.

She didn't expect that there would be such a relationship between the two.

And she couldn't advise either.

Because Ye Qingcheng's actions were indeed too much.

"No wonder you weren't close to Jiang Chen before. It turns out there's this kind of relationship!"

The Primordial Saint Lord muttered to herself.

She had been somewhat puzzled before. Jiang Chen excelled in all aspects and couldn't find any faults, but Ye Qingcheng had always been lukewarm towards Jiang Chen.

It turns out it was because of this reason.

Treating Jiang Chen as an enemy.

No wonder Jiang Chen completely cut off ties with Ye Qingcheng.

This kind of action almost broke Jiang Chen's heart.

"It's all the disciple's fault!"

"I will make it up to Senior Brother in the future!"

Ye Qingcheng said with her head lowered.

She also knew that she had gone too far in this matter.

"Let it go. For a short period of time, don't have too much contact with Jiang Chen!"

"Wait until some time has passed and Jiang Chen's heart calms down, then you can interact with him!"

The Primordial Saint Lord weakly waved her hand.

She thought it was a minor conflict.

Who knew the misunderstanding was so big.

If it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to accept it just like Jiang Chen.

"I understand, Master!"

Ye Qingcheng also understood these things, so she didn't expect too much.

"The Supreme Hall is about to begin. Get ready!"

"I hope you have gained something during your time at the Supreme Hall!" Tai Chu Sheng Zhu weakly said.

"Yes," Ye Qingcheng respectfully replied and stepped back.

In the next moment, Mu Jianxue walked out and calmly asked, "How do you plan to handle this?"

"There is only one way!" Tai Chu Sheng Zhu replied.

"Let it develop naturally," Mu Jianxue said.

"Can Chen'er forgive Qingcheng? It depends on Qingcheng's own destiny. I shouldn't interfere!"

This matter is between the two of them.

Even as their master, Tai Chu Sheng Zhu couldn't interfere.

Especially for Jiang Chen, if he were to interfere, he would inevitably be dissatisfied.

Moreover, Tai Chu Sheng Zhu didn't want to interfere in this matter.

Even though he favored Ye Qingcheng, he understood that Ye Qingcheng had gone too far in this matter.

To put it bluntly, it was almost like being a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Ye Qingcheng's return did not cause much of a stir.

Jiang Chen continued to stay on the Zhe Xian Peak as usual, without going out.

The days passed leisurely.

During this time, his cultivation had reached the Ninth Heaven level.

He was just one step away from the quasi-saint realm.

Although he had received many rewards for pretending to be weak, he still couldn't break through, just one step away.

Jiang Chen estimated that after the events at the Supreme Hall, he would most likely step into the quasi-saint realm.

Entering this realm would mean leaving behind the so-called geniuses and the younger generation.

In the entire Nine Heavens Realm, he would be considered a top powerhouse.

On this day, the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning prepared to go to the Supreme Hall.

Zhe Xian Peak.

Jing Muyu was practicing swordsmanship as usual. Her petite body swung the giant sword in her hand with some effort, but compared to before, she appeared more powerful and had some momentum.

After several months of cultivation, she had made rapid progress and had already reached the Sixth Level of the True Spirit realm.

In just a few months, she had gone from the beginning of her cultivation to the Sixth Level of the True Spirit realm.

This cultivation speed was already considered extremely fast.

"Brother Jiang Chen, Sister Yan Yu, are you leaving Zhe Xian Peak?" Jing Muyu put down the giant sword in her hand and asked softly.

"Yes," Yan Yu touched Jing Muyu's head and said, "We will be leaving for a while. Muyu, continue to practice your swordsmanship!"

"Don't worry, Sister Yan Yu. When the two of you come back, I will definitely step into the Divine Palace Realm," Jing Muyu said earnestly.

"Alright, I believe in you!" Yan Yu doted on Jing Muyu, perhaps because there were few people on Zhe Xian Peak.

"Muyu, come with us!" Jiang Chen suddenly remembered that there was an unparalleled sword inheritance in the Supreme Hall, which might be suitable for Jing Muyu.

In the original work, this inheritance was accepted by a disciple of the Sword Palace and became a top powerhouse in the future.

Now that he knew about it, he could give it to Jing Muyu... Seeking flowers...

Because Jing Muyu herself was proficient in swordsmanship, she could accept that sword inheritance.

"Is that possible?"

"Will Muyu become a burden to you?"

Jing Muyu would definitely be happy to go with them.

But when she thought about her cultivation becoming a burden to them, she hesitated.

She didn't want to be their hindrance and delay their progress.

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"You, Brother Jiang Chen, sweep away everything. Those so-called geniuses are nothing!"

"You can crush them at will!"

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

This was not a boast. His current strength was indeed unmatched by few.

"Okay!"

Jing Muyu was overjoyed.

Jiang Chen just smiled and didn't say much.

As usual, a huge flying boat hovered in the square.

But compared to the previous flying boat, this one was slightly larger.

And this time, the leader is the Grand Elder.

"It's quite rare, Grand Elder, for you to take the lead!"

Jiang Chen led Yan Ruyu and others into the flying boat.

Although he could have gone together in a different way, Jiang Chen had to do it this way.

And there was no need, anyway, it was just a means of transportation.

He also didn't need to show off or be arrogant.

"No choice, the Holy Lord specifically requested it!"

The Grand Elder was also somewhat helpless, as he had originally planned to go into seclusion.

Who knew he would be directly caught by the Holy Lord.

He was told directly that there was no chance for seclusion.

Do some things for the Holy Land temporarily and then see.

The Grand Elder couldn't argue.

Because he and the Second Elder had been in seclusion for a thousand years, not caring about anything, acting like a shopkeeper, which was quite embarrassing.

But the main reason was the pressure from the Holy Lord.

Forcing him to agree.

If he didn't agree, it would be over.

He knew the methods of the Holy Lord.

"Ah, I wanted to go into seclusion!"

"Son, when you go back this time, help me speak to the Holy Lord and let me go into seclusion for a period of time!"

"I have already touched the barrier of shackles, it won't take long to break through!"

The Grand Elder looked hopefully at Jiang Chen.

Now, there weren't many people in the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning who could have a say with the Holy Lord.

Mu Jianxue was one, and Jiang Chen was another.

But Mu Jianxue couldn't possibly care about these things, so only Jiang Chen was left.

"Grand Elder, I understand how you feel!"

"It's just that going into seclusion for a thousand years is really inappropriate, especially since you said the same thing last time, that you would come out soon, but then you went into seclusion for a thousand years!"

"To be honest, I have no way to help!"

"Besides, I can't speak in front of Master, you know Master's character, once a decision is made, it can't be changed!"

So, Grand Elder, you should temporarily oversee things outside and then go into seclusion later!"

Jiang Chen shrugged, indicating his helplessness.

"Ah!"

The Grand Elder sighed, extremely helpless.

He seemed to have completely lost his vitality, dispersing with the wind.

Cangqiong Mountain Range.

A mountain range located in Zhongzhou.

The entire mountain range was vast and boundless, stretching endlessly, like a sleeping dragon, containing terrifying power.

In the past, few people visited the Cangqiong Mountain Range, and there were rarely any visitors.

Now, it was crowded with people, bustling with noise.

Near the mountain range, there were creatures and people everywhere.

All of this was because of the opening of the Supreme Hall.

Deep within the mountains, there was a huge palace.

The entire palace was black, made of an unknown divine material, and despite the passing of endless years, it had not left a trace. Its enormous size covered the sky, enveloping the entire Cangqiong Mountain Range in endless darkness.

Now.

Countless divine lights spread out from the sky above the Cangqiong Mountain Range.

Ancient war chariots, flying boats, flying swords, and even flying palaces.

All kinds of flying divine weapons were countless in number, gathering in the sky, dazzling and shining.

This was also a rare event in the entire Nine Heavens Realm.

It could gather various forces in one place.

Only the Supreme Hall could bring together the various races and the human race.

If it were in any other place, it would be impossible to see.

Here, one could even see the legendary geniuses who were rarely seen before, those legendary geniuses were countless.

Here.

Geniuses were the least valuable things.

Just throw a stone casually and hit a creature, and it would basically be considered a genius.

It could be said that the opening of the Supreme Hall represented the appearance of almost all the geniuses in the Nine Heavens Realm.

Except for a few geniuses.

"People from the Pure Yang Sacred Land have arrived!"

A cry of surprise sounded, and everyone's gaze was attracted to them.

For a moment, a huge flying boat passed by, with a young man sitting at the bow, his body glowing, emitting a faint light, his vast blood energy like a vast ocean, surging and resounding in all directions.

This person was none other than the Pure Yang Son, Gan...
