Chapter 157: Conspiracy

The trees began to fall in unison, and they looked uniform. There was nothing around them except some tree stumps less than half a meter high!

However, the elder frowned deeply.

Because Chen Xiao's figure still did not show up!

If it was just that, it would be fine, but he did not sense any breath from Chen Xiao at all, which was simply too incredible.

His eyes widened, and his tiger eyes kept scanning around, hoping to see any clues about Chen Xiao.

"Strange, where did this guy hide?" The elder's face showed a look of doubt.

However, after scanning around, he still did not find anything.

"Humph, no matter where you hide, even if you dig three feet into the ground, I will get you out today!"

A low shout sounded, and the elder's body floated up, suspended ten meters in the air, and his eyes kept patrolling below.

At this height, he could easily sense Chen Xiao's aura, and could smoothly observe the movements around him, preventing Chen Xiao from escaping without knowing it, which was really a two-pronged advantage.

Of course, as the great elder of the Qingling Sect, he had far more than just these few means.

After checking the surroundings, the great elder slowly stretched out his hands and suddenly pressed down on the ground.

A terrifying energy suddenly appeared, instantly flattening the fallen trees below, and even the ground sank down fiercely, as if the geology was loose.

The Martial Emperor's attack was so terrifying!

Not satisfied with this, the great elder threw several punches in succession, and these fists were accompanied by a fierce wind. As soon as they appeared, a group of heaven and earth spiritual energy attached to them, causing the fists to expand instantly, turn into substance, and slam into the ground fiercely.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

The sound of explosions continued!

Dust was flying everywhere, and grass and trees were splashing everywhere.

In the distance, a bunch of flying birds were startled by the huge noise, screaming and fleeing in all directions. The roar of beasts that could be faintly heard disappeared completely at this moment.

All around, there was a deathly silence.

In just half a cup of tea, the original dense forest had completely disappeared, replaced by a depression full of potholes.

On the depression, there were some scattered tree trunks and leaves, proving that this was still the original dense forest.

"Could it be that the guy has escaped?" The Great Elder of Qingling Sect frowned deeper and deeper, and his face became darker and darker.

The Great Elder of Qingling Sect came out in person to hunt down the thief who killed his son-in-law, but the other party ran away. At the beginning, he even fought a tie with the Great Elder!

Once this news spread, the Great Elder even doubted whether his position in Qingling Sect would also be implicated and take a sharp turn for the worse.

After all, a two-star martial emperor couldn't even catch a mere martial king. Doesn't this mean that his two-star martial emperor is just a false name?

"Ah! Boy, don't let me catch you again, otherwise, I will skin you alive! I will make you regret coming to this world!"

A ferocious look appeared on the face of the elder, and his hands slapped around again.

Even the dense forest hundreds of meters away from here suffered under the elder's random venting, and fell all around.

At this time, the elder slowly fell from inside and looked around coldly.

Although he seemed angry, he was actually focusing all his attention on observing Chen Xiao's movements. Once Chen Xiao appeared, he would definitely be able to find Chen Xiao in the first time.

About fifty meters away from the elder, Chen Xiao's forehead was sweating, and his face was even uglier.

If you look closely, you can find that Chen Xiao is just under the root of a big tree at this time.

This is a giant tree that is as thick as two people can hug together. Although the roots are deep underground, they are hollow.

When Chen Xiao came to the dense forest, he saw this place at a glance and hid in it instantly.

At the same time, he used a breath-retaining technique that he had learned before to directly isolate all the breath on his body. Not to mention that the realm is almost the same, even if a strong man at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm comes, he can't detect the breath on Chen Xiao.

Therefore, even if the elder is standing only a few dozen meters away from Chen Xiao, he can't detect Chen Xiao's specific location.

However, what made Chen Xiao secretly shocked was that this guy was so unreasonable. He destroyed all the trees around him without saying a word. That's fine, even the trunks and stumps on them were not spared. If Chen Xiao hadn't been smart before and hid directly under the roots of the tree, he would have been forced out by the method just now.

Even so, when that guy was waving his fists like crazy and attacking all around, Chen Xiao was also injured, but he didn't dare to use his true energy to resist.

Because, if he didn't use his true energy, the other party wouldn't notice him at all. Once he used his true energy, it would be like walking into a trap.

In desperation, he could only use his physical body to resist this wave of attacks.

Fortunately, the Void Body Refining Art was indeed extraordinary. Chen Xiao cultivated to the peak of the Martial King, and his physical body was already comparable to that of a Martial Emperor of the three-star or even four-star realm. Even if he took this wave of attacks, it did not endanger his life. As long as he adjusted his breath for a while afterwards, he could recover.

Throwing away all the messy thoughts in his mind, Chen Xiao stared at the great elder who had fallen to the ground and was wandering around to explore.

As long as there was a chance, Chen Xiao would definitely not mind giving the other party an unforgettable gift.

However, Chen Xiao was just thinking about this idea, and there was no way to realize it now.

The majestic true energy generated by the rage in his body was gradually declining at this moment, reaching the point of falling into the realm of the Martial Emperor. If he fell, it would be unlikely for Chen Xiao to fight against this guy again.

After observing the surroundings for a long time, the great elder finally tensed his face, flew into the sky without saying a word, and shot towards the direction of Yuecheng, disappearing in an instant.

The surroundings were once again peaceful.

It was as if nothing had happened.

However, the tree debris on the ground was silently telling something.

Chen Xiao was still lying on the ground, motionless, and had no intention of leaving in a hurry.

In his opinion, the other party would never let him go so easily. This was simply wishful thinking. Maybe they were lying in ambush all around.

Time passed by little by little, and Chen Xiao's face gradually turned pale. The sequelae of the violent attack were about to begin to appear. If he didn't leave now, he would be in real danger later.

However, before Chen Xiao was about to leave, the elder appeared again in the air silently, staring coldly at the people below with a pair of tiger eyes.
