Duan Sanchang's grandfather used to be the patriarch of the Duan family. Although the Duan family had only a dozen people, he could become the patriarch, so his strength must be extraordinary. Duan Sanchang once said that his grandfather was a genius tomb robber.
The people from Peach Blossom Holy Land later discovered that there was one more person in their team. This dirty old man with a grin suddenly appeared like a ghost and followed them for a while, which made them shudder.
"Who are you?" Huo Caiyong asked sternly, and at the same time he was alert. He did not slow down. If they slowed down a little, Shen Xiang would escape.
"I'm Duan Chong, who are you?" The old man laughed and said, "Hurry up, you're much older than that kid, why are you running so slowly?"
Duan Sanchang mentioned his grandfather's name, which was Duan Chong. This sloppy old man was really Duan Sanchang's grandfather!
"It's none of your business. You'd better stay away from us!" Huo Caiyong said angrily. Although he knew that Duan Chong was very powerful, he was not afraid. If he was not chasing Shen Xiang now, he would have stopped to deal with Duan Chong long ago.
Duan Chong's old face showed a trace of anger: "I told you my name is Duan Chong, why didn't you tell me? You are cheating!"
"Get out of the way. If you bother us again, don't blame us for being rude!" Huo Caiyong said angrily.
A voice came from Shen Xiang in front: "This is the patriarch of the Duan family. If you don't want the tombs in Peach Blossom Holy Land to be dug up, you'd better be polite to him."
There are very few people in the Duan family, and they usually move in secret. Others only know their surname Duan, and seldom know their names. Ancient forces usually call them tomb robbers!
Huo Caiyong had no doubts about Shen Xiang's words at this time. The strange old man in front of him really looked like the head of the Duan family who had been missing for many years! He also knew that the Duan family had a very powerful ability to hide, so they were able to come to them quietly.
"You guys are so boring. The little guy in front is more interesting. I don't want to play with you anymore!" Duan Chong said, and disappeared in a flash. In just a moment, he came to Shen Xiang's side.
This frightened Shen Xiang so much that he almost screamed. Although he was not using his full strength to perform the Shrinking Technique, his speed was definitely not slow. Duan Chong arrived beside him in just a moment.
"This old guy...how did he do it?" Shen Xiang asked Long Xueyi.
"I don't know. This doesn't seem like a spatial secret technique because I don't sense any spatial fluctuations." Long Xueyi pondered hard because she felt that the method used by Duan Chong was somewhat familiar.
"Oh, that's right. It's the Shadow Chasing Step. It's a very ancient secret technique. It's said that as long as your shadow moves, it can follow you without you even noticing."
Duan Chong grinned and said, "Little guy, how did you recognize me? Not many people know my name!"
Chen Xiang said truthfully: "Your precious grandson told me. When I came in, he asked me to come find you!"
"This kid is really thoughtful. When you go back, tell them that I have important things to do here and tell them not to worry about me! By the way, why are these guys chasing you?" Duan Chong didn't even doubt Shen Xiang's words.
"Not only did they come to kill me time and time again, they also wanted to steal my things. I had no choice but to kill some of them. I was outnumbered and had to flee." Shen Xiang sighed.
Duan Chong nodded and said, "You are now using the Earth Shrinking Technique, right? Only those who practice the Earth Killing Technique in the Heaven and Earth Killing Technique can master this technique. It seems that you have mastered the Earth Killing Technique, so it is normal for you to be chased by them."
Shen Xiang's eyes lit up. It turned out that Duan Chong knew a lot. Many people only knew about the Heaven and Earth Killing Technique, but did not know that the Heaven and Earth Killing Technique was divided into several branches.
"Senior, can you help me? Kill them all!" Shen Xiang sent a message to Duan Chong. Originally, he didn't hold much hope. Who knew that Duan Chong said casually: "No problem, but after they die, Peach Blossom Holy Land will definitely know that it was you who did it. Aren't you afraid of offending Peach Blossom Holy Land?"
"What's the big deal? The Feng Family, Feixian Sect, Purple Moon Holy Land, and White Sea Holy Land are all fighting against me, so I'm not afraid of another Peach Blossom Holy Land." Shen Xiang looked indifferent, he was really not afraid.
"Good fellow, you are worthy of being the one who inherited the legacy of the Ten Heavenly Emperor, you have courage! Okay, I will help you deal with these guys, but I am only responsible for catching them, you have to kill them yourself." Duan Chong said it very easily, and looking at his expression, it was as if dealing with the people behind him was like catching a grasshopper.
"Thank you, senior!" Shen Xiang said with a smile. This way he wouldn't have to do it himself.
Huo Caiyong and the others who were chasing behind were full of anger, because the old man and the child in front of them didn't take them seriously, and they ran and laughed at the same time. How could this be running for life? This made them angry. They ran as hard as they could, but they still couldn't catch up. There was always a distance between them.
Huo Caiyong had been staring at the two people in front of him. Suddenly, Duan Chong disappeared, which surprised them.
"Be careful!" Huo Caiyong was very alert. When he found that Duan Chong was missing, he immediately tensed up and prepared to take action.
Shen Xiang released his divine power and observed the situation behind him. He wanted to see how Duan Chong would deal with Huo Caiyong and the others.
"I know your last re-elected headmaster. We even drank together back then! I just didn't expect that the Peach Blossom Holy Land would decline to such an extent. They are just a group of bandits just like those traitors!" Duan Chong had a strange smile on his face, which made people feel scared.
The previous headmaster of Peach Blossom Holy Land ascended to heaven a long time ago. He was a great figure who lived for many years. The fact that Duan Chong knew this person showed that Duan Chong was a figure of that era.
"Hmph, it is not the place for outsiders to point fingers at the affairs of our Peach Blossom Holy Land. If our old master were here, he would definitely support our approach. That kid has the Green Dragon Demon-Slaying Sword!" Huo Caiyong was a little scared. As for the Duan family, many ancient forces only knew that they had a declining population, had been robbing tombs for years, and were cursed, and didn't know much else.
"Then you can't steal it. Don't you know the origin of that knife?" Guo Chong did not take action immediately, but followed Huo Caiyong.
"Nonsense, why would we rob if we don't know it?" Huo Caiyong said.
"Back then, even the Great Emperor Shi Tian had to respect this sword, and he spent a lot of effort to tame this divine sword. It can also be said that this sword took the initiative to recognize its master and was connected to the Great Emperor Shi Tian by blood! Later, before his death, the Great Emperor Shi Tian paid a heavy price to prevent the sword from perishing with him. He severed his connection with the divine sword, and the divine sword was also affected. The sword spirit was damaged, but the spirituality was still there!"
Guo Chong paused and said, "That is to say, this knife is already connected with that kid's life. Unless that kid is as powerful as the Ten Heavenly Emperor, which he cannot do with his current strength, this magic knife cannot be given to others, so no one can take it away. Your efforts are in vain. This kid must know it, but he didn't tell anyone, just to have a legitimate opportunity to fight back and kill all those who stole the knife! This guy is even more sinister than the Ten Heavenly Emperor."
"I don't believe it!" Huo Caiyong said this, but he only half believed it.
