Chapter 318 - 318 295 Opportunity in Hand

Chapter 318: Chapter 295: Opportunity in Hand! Chapter 318: Chapter 295: Opportunity in Hand! The woman in the black robe flicked her sleeve, and a purple talisman fell into her hand, within which was sealed the full force of a Core Realm expert’s attack, powerful enough to kill Chen Yuan in an instant.

Although somewhat reluctant, if she wanted to quickly resolve the battle, this was the price she had to pay!

The item inside was of great use to her, she absolutely could not let Chen Yuan have it, and besides… his strength was insufficient to make her retreat.

As long as she resolved it quickly, she could get the item before someone else arrived!

But before she could throw the talisman, she saw Chen Yuan also holding a dark black Sword Talisman in his hand, looking at her with a smile, saying,

“Shall we see whose Dan Talisman is stronger?”

Originally, Chen Yuan did not actually want to use the Sword Talisman, preferring to rely on his own strength to fight, but since the opponent had already prepared a talisman, he naturally could not hesitate any longer.

Otherwise, he would surely die!

Although he hadn’t experienced the power of a Dan Talisman himself, he knew it must be extremely powerful from the way an old hunched man hastily retreated before.

A strike from the Sword God, terrifying as such!

The identity of the woman in the black robe was now somewhat mysterious. He felt that she was not an ordinary Demon Dao demon; her background was probably very deep, otherwise, how could she possess a Dan Talisman for protection?

He knew the item in his hand was a premium item given by Ziyue to win him over.

What made him most cautious was that the opponent might have more than one Dan Talisman!

“You have a Dan Talisman for protection?”

The woman in the black robe changed her expression, looking at him somewhat horrified and asked.

A Dan Talisman isn’t something that can be created easily. It requires not only a strong control of one’s own Primordial Energy but also a carrier that can withstand a Core Realm expert’s strike.

Ordinary Core Realm experts don’t even qualify, only the very strong ones can do it, and even then, at a great cost.

Only those with extremely deep backgrounds can possess one.

In the power she belonged to, individuals with a Dan Talisman to protect themselves numbered less than three!

This was enough to prove how precious such a thing was.

This Chen Yuan… just what is his identity?

Wasn’t it said that he came from a poor background and climbed up step by step on his own?

Now the woman in the black robe was puzzled just like the old hunched man, wondering where exactly Chen Yuan got his talisman from and who was behind him?

She even became convinced of one thing, that Chen Yuan’s rapid advancement in realms was indeed backed by a powerful force; they had simply molded someone from the lower echelons to climb up.

She even speculated if he might be the offspring of some high-ranking official in the court…

Well, it’s quite possible. It’s said that Zhang Xuan pulled him up by hand, but how could the son of a Divine Envoy just happen to meet him by coincidence?

She quickly began to imagine many things.

It’s no wonder she speculated so much; indeed, Chen Yuan’s cultivation speed was exceptionally rapid. In places he couldn’t see, actually, many eyes were watching him.

Trying to dig into his origins.

It’s just that it was too mysterious so nothing had surfaced yet.

The host of Ascending Immortal Tower was friendly with Chen Yuan, and no one knew if there was a reason for that.

Chen Yuan smiled nonchalantly, “If you can possess it, why can’t I?”

His face did not reveal anything, but inside, Chen Yuan’s heart was also stirring violently. If not for having the Dan Talisman given by Ziyue for protection, he might have had to retreat today, facing a life-threatening situation.

After all, Nanling Prefecture was rather secluded, and the geniuses outside all had their methods!

The woman in the black robe’s gaze flickered, and after a long while, she said solemnly,

“If we fight, it will end with both sides losing.”

“So?”

“So… it’s best if we join forces to take the item.”

This was currently the most suitable choice for both parties. Now, as equals in power, if they both used Dan Talismans, the entire palace would turn to ruins.

Accordingly, they would both die.

“What exactly are you trying to take?” Chen Yuan casually asked.

“What I want is different from what you seek. I’m after something from Daoist Hua Yuan, not a treasure, just something useful to me,” the woman in the black robe said, while also gauging Chen Yuan’s expression.

He remained consistent, showing no change in expression. After listening to the woman in the black robe, he nodded and said,

“Okay.”

“Let us both make a Heart Demon Blood Oath. For the next hour, neither of us should attack the other. If we have a dispute, we can discuss it after an hour. How about that?”

This was also her way of guarding against Chen Yuan taking a sudden action against her.

For people like them, Reach Profound was never the peak, but merely a starting point, so the constraints of an Heart Demon Blood Oath were quite significant.

“Agreed.”

Chen Yuan had no objections.

The woman in the black robe was wary of him, but he was also cautious of her.

After all, anyone who could produce a Dan Talisman was obviously no ordinary person. The reason she personally came to Primordial Void Realm must involve some secretive plotting.

Then, the two forced out Essence Blood and swore under the Heart Demon…

Only after both parties had spoken, did the tensely drawn atmosphere begin to ease somewhat, but they still harbored vigilance towards each other. Chen Yuan observed the white stone wall in front of him, gently rubbing it with his palm, already having made his decision.

But on the surface, he did not show any different emotions, instead looking at the woman in the black robe and asking, “How do you plan to extract the item inside?”

The woman in the black robe glanced around suspiciously and whispered,

“Since you’re here for the item inside, don’t you have a way to break through this stone wall?”
