Iridescent Clouds Palace, Cangwu Mountain.
An old man in scarlet robes walked through the air and landed slowly in front of a cave abode halfway up the mountain.
The sect badge on the scarlet robed old man's waist indicated that he was from True Fire Sect.
That person was Perfected Being Jin Dan, Sima Zhi.
In front of the cave abode was a stone table beneath a towering ancient tree. A man in aquamarine-colored robes sat upright on the stone stool with long, narrow eyes that shone with a cold glint.
"Brother Cang Lang, what's the matter that you summoned me so urgently?"
Sima Zhi landed and asked straight to the point.
The aquamarine-colored robed man was Perfected Being Cang Lang of Iridescent Clouds Palace!
Perfected Being Cang Lang had a calm expression as he sipped his tea unhurriedly. Putting down his teacup, he said in a deep voice, "Dao Brother Sima, you don't even know that you're about to die!"
"Ah?
Sima Zhi was shocked but composed himself instantly. Shaking his head, he laughed. "Cang Lang, what kind of joke is that?"
"Su Zimo is at Extreme Foundation Establishment. Given his vengeful nature, do you think he'll let us off once he enters Jin Dan realm?" Perfected Being Cang Lang harrumphed coldly.
Sima Zhi's expression changed and he remained silent for a moment before replying, "To be honest, I've indeed thought about this after the battle at Misty Peak. However, the sect has already sent people to Misty Peak to express goodwill so there's nothing I can do about it. "
"I can't possibly charge into Misty Peak alone, right? What's the difference between that and sending myself to my death? "
Pausing for a moment, Sima Zhi continued, "Furthermore, Su Zimo is at Extreme Foundation Establishment. Anyone who touches him will have to suffer the wrath of Misty Peak!"
"Others might have their reservations but we're different."
Perfected Being Cang Lang said in a deep voice, "The current situation is clear. If Su Zimo doesn't die, we'll die! We can only gamble once and we have to do it as soon as possible! Otherwise, there will be more variables once that lad enters Jin Dan realm. "
Sima Zhi's eyes flickered. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "Brother Cang Lang, what do you think?"
"There's no hurry. I've also invited three helpers. They should be here soon."
Perfected Being Cang Lang gestured for Sima Zhi to sit down first and calm down.
Not long after, three Jin Dan Spiritual Masters arrived on the wind. In the middle was a thin middle-aged man with extremely thin lips and a gloomy expression.
Reverend Jin Dan, who was on the far left, held a long banner in his hand. His head was full of fat intestines, and his face was full of smiles.
The one on the far right was dressed in martial attire. His figure was tall and sturdy, and the muscles all over his body bulged like rocks. There was a fierce aura between his brows.
Perfected Being Cang Lang went forward.
Perfected Being Cang Lang pointed to Perfected Being Jin Dan on the left and introduced, "This is a famous formation master of the Tianhuang North Region, Perfected Being Tan Hao."
"This is Fellow Daoist Gao Hu. He's a late-stage Jin Dan cultivator who specializes in body refinement."
The martial attired man nodded towards Sima Zhi.
Finally, Perfected Being Cang Lang looked at the skinny man in the middle with a smile. "This is Fellow Daoist Liang Heng who's famous in the North Region. He's at perfected Jin Dan realm and entered the intermediate ancient battlefield 80 years ago to compete for the Phenomenon Ranking!"
Sima Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
Within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were no sects or factions that had the strength to break through the barrier of the intermediate ancient battlefield and send cultivators in.
Sima Zhi and the others did not even have the chance to see the Phenomenon Ranking, let alone compete for a spot on it with other cultivators.
Liang Heng waved it off and pretended to be reserved. "It's nothing much. After all, I didn't leave my name on the Phenomenon Ranking."
"The Phenomenon Ranking is far beyond our reach. Fellow Daoist, the fact that you're qualified to compete for the Phenomenon Ranking is proof of your strength," Sima Zhi praised hurriedly.
Perfected Being Cang Lang smiled as well. "80 years ago, Fellow Daoist Liang Heng nearly left his name on the Phenomenon Ranking as well. The next time you compete for the Phenomenon Ranking, you'll definitely be able to get a top ten spot! "
"Yes,"
Liang Heng nodded, pleased with the flattery of the two of them.
He did not have much of a relationship with Perfected Being Cang Lang. The reason why he came this time round was mainly because he heard that Su Zimo possessed a connate spirit weapon!
If he could obtain that connate spirit weapon, he would definitely be able to leave his name on the Phenomenon Ranking the next time he entered the ancient battlefield!
Of course, it was a fool's dream if he wanted to get a top ten spot.
The top ten of the Phenomenon Ranking were each more frightening than the other!
Sima Zhi asked, "Su Zimo must be in seclusion at Misty Peak right now and won't appear before he forms a core. Is there any way to lure him out?"
"I have a female disciple named Chen Meng Qi who was his childhood sweetheart."
Perfected Being Cang Lang narrowed his eyes and said confidently, "As long as he hears that the lass doesn't have long to live, he'll definitely come down the mountain!"
Sima Zhi's eyes lit up and he nodded to himself.
The Formation Master at the side, Tan Hao, pondered for a moment before saying with a smile, "Three questions. First, the two of them were childhood sweethearts. Would he come down the mountain for someone who's about to die? "
"Definitely!"
Perfected Being Cang Lang's tone was certain.
"Alright, second question,"
Tan Hao said, "The location can't be set in Iridescent Clouds Palace. Otherwise, the fish might not take the bait."
"That's for sure. I know what to do and have a plan," Perfected Being Cang Lang was confident.
Tan Hao nodded and continued, "Third question, how do we catch the fish if it takes the bait? The battle at Misty Peak, heh! That's going to have quite a bit of influence in the cultivation world. I heard that Su Zimo is at Extreme Foundation Establishment and has the ability to kill Perfected Jin Dan above his level. "
"There are five of us Perfected Jin Dan. Why should we be afraid of a single Foundation Establishment Cultivator?" Gao Hu asked.
Tan Hao replied, "We're not afraid, we're worried that something might happen. If he escapes, we won't have a second chance. "
"With me around, he's dead for sure!" Liang Heng said coldly.
"Everyone, listen to me,"
Perfected Being Cang Lang said in a deep voice, "This lad is at Extreme Foundation Establishment and has many trump cards. He possesses spirit wings and knows an extremely frightening secret skill that can even fight against my Jin Dan phenomenon!"
When they heard that, Liang Heng and the other two's expressions changed slightly.
The rumors were true.
A secret skill released by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could fight against Jin Dan's phenomenon!
Even if Perfected Being Cang Lang's Jin Dan phenomenon was not strong, that was shocking enough.
"Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. Since I've chosen to attack, I won't underestimate my opponent! Even if he's only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. "
Perfected Being Cang Lang said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Tan Hao, you've got to set up a formation beforehand to prevent that lad from escaping!"
"No problem,"
Tan Hao smiled. "With me setting up the formation, even Perfected Jin Dan won't be able to escape!"
Perfected Being Cang Lang narrowed his long, narrow eyes and said coldly, "Let me show you guys what I've truly prepared for this lad!"
With that said, Perfected Being Cang Lang took out a jade bottle from his storage bag. Inside was a bright red flower that resembled an orchid and gave off a faint fragrance.
The other Perfected Jin Dan Beings swept their gazes and their expressions changed starkly as they held their breaths and retreated.
"Spirit Lock Flower!"
Liang Heng frowned and asked, "That fiend flower has been extinct since the ancient era. Where did you get it from?"
The Spirit Lock Flower would not cause any direct harm to cultivators.
However, the fragrance of the flower possessed a demonic power that could restrain a cultivator's spirit energy such that even Perfected Jin Dan could not resist it!
The Spirit Lock Flower was one of the extremely famous fiend flowers of the ancient era!
