Chapter 252

Thousands of miles away, in the desolate wilderness.

When Shi Xuan felt the taiji diagram in his dantian move slightly, he knew that someone was spying on him through his aura. Therefore, he didn't hesitate to turn the taiji diagram into a golden bridge and shook off the connection. Then, the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler in his dantian struck the bridge, and its power followed the connection back to the person spying on him.

It was because of the taiji diagram, the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler, and the innate Wind and Thunder Escape Technique that Shi Xuan dared to rob on Cang Lan River. Moreover, he even used his transcendent artifact without fear of being followed.

However, at this time, Shi Xuan didn't have time to look at Enlightened Master of Earth's Pole's primordial spirit technique. Instead, he spread his Wings of Wind and Thunder again and flew back to Cang Lan River. It wasn't because of the transcendent artifact, but because Young Master Duotian, Fang Qi, didn't fight with him for the primordial spirit technique. Instead, he went for the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Banner. This made Shi Xuan have some speculations.

This was a matter of utmost importance. Apart from the four major sects who already had a primordial spirit technique, the other cultivators were definitely more eager to obtain Enlightened Master of Earth's Pole's inheritance than the transcendent artifact. Just like Enlightened Star Cang Fufeng and Enlightened Zixia Yun Congyue.

However, Young Master Duotian clearly had a transcendent artifact in his possession, but he gave up on the inheritance to fight for another transcendent artifact. This could only mean one thing — he had another technique that could form a primordial spirit. Whether it was the inheritance of the most powerful and mysterious Enlightened Xuanri or the inheritance of Enlightened Tianxiang from the Seven Mountain Union, to Shi Xuan, they were both things that he needed to see.

And taking it from Young Master Duotian's hands was obviously much easier than obtaining the heretic primordial spirit technique from the four major sects. Moreover, he had revealed his transcendent artifact and might disappear for a long time. Therefore, Shi Xuan had to take a risk and return to Cang Lan River.

After using the innate Wind and Thunder Escape Technique, Shi Xuan reappeared in Cang Lan City. His divine sense carefully enveloped the entire city as he coldly watched the battle between the five dharma images and Fang Qi's Tianxin Seven Fiend Sword.

… …

The five great Dharma Adepts were already fighting with all their might. Not only were level 7 and 8 dao techniques flying everywhere, but they were also using their natal spirit weapons. The Canglan River and its surroundings were a mess. The river had stopped flowing, the mountains had collapsed, the forest had turned into a desert, and the dry soil had turned into a swamp. Even the dark clouds within a radius of tens of miles had turned into empty holes, and the heavy downpour had stopped.

The Golden Core masters and Divine power practitioners had either obtained some magic items, spirit items, and medicinal pills and fled far away, or they had retreated from this dangerous place with the low-level practitioners. If they were to be touched by the shockwaves from the battle between Dharma Adepts, they would either die or be severely injured. Although these people were passionate about magic items and spirit items, they valued their own lives more than anything else.

Even the two men and two women who followed Fang Qi had left after obtaining some transcendent artifacts and pills. As for the spirit artifacts, Jindan Grandmaster of the four major sects had each taken one or two while the Dharma Adepts were fighting. For example, a mirror spirit artifact and a bottle of pills that could improve one's soul fell directly into Wen Nianxi's hands, much to her delight.

That ordinary black flag floated in the air, and a ferocious fire dragon with a momentum that could melt everything rushed over together with a red flying sword.

When the other Dharma Adepts saw that Zhong Qiuping was going all out, they did not dare to be careless. A three-legged black crow appeared from the Dharma Power of the Morning Sun. The crow cawed softly and spread its wings. In an instant, it pounced on the fire dragon. On the other hand, Pu Yannian's Grand Solar Fire Wheel turned into a red light and intercepted the red flying sword.

At the same time, the hundred-armed giant shrank and merged with the Sky Suppression Pagoda. Then, the golden pagoda became gigantic and descended from the sky, covering the fire dragon, the black crow, the flying sword, and the fire dragon.

Not to be outdone, White Lotus Zhenren shot out a beam of white light. Within it, thousands of white lotuses appeared and bloomed. It was breathtakingly beautiful. Accompanying the divine light was a white sword light as bright as the moon.

As for Zixia Zhenren, Yun Congyue, who had returned, he did not hold back either. His signature technique, the "Ninth Heaven Purple Cloud," turned the entire sky above the Cang Lan River purple. Nine dreamy purple clouds intertwined as if they were falling from the heavens. In an instant, they covered the sky and covered the earth. The spirit artifact, the Purple Jade Soul Breaker Hairpin, appeared and disappeared beside the Earth Fiend Fire Banner.

Young Master Duotian, Fang Qi, had yet to form his divine sense. Even though he was using the Tianxin Seven Demons Sword, he was still half a beat too slow. He was unable to snatch the initiative from the Dharma Adepts.

Boom, the full power attacks of the five Dharma Adepts collided with each other. There was an earth-shattering sound. The fire dragon, the black crow, the white lotus divine light, and the other daoist techniques all disappeared. The red sword light, the Grand Sun Fire Wheel, the Sky Suppression Pagoda, the white sword light, and the Purple Jade Soul Breaker Hairpin all flew back. This caused the minds of the five Dharma Adepts to waver. They were actually tied!

The small black banner in the middle was affected by the hurricane created by the collision of the daoist techniques. It fluttered in a certain direction. It was Young Master Duotian, Fang Qi, who was half a beat too slow.

Fang Qi was annoyed that his spiritual sense was not as good as his divine sense. He was slower in all aspects and could only watch as the Dharma Adepts fought. Who would have thought that after this fight, the five Dharma Adepts would actually be tied? No one had the upper hand. Furthermore, the Earth Fiend Fire Banner even threw itself into his arms. This surprised and delighted him.

If you don't accept a gift from heaven, you will be punished. This was the only sentence that flashed through Fang Qi's spiritual sense. He used the Tianxin Seven Demons Sword to form a black sword light to wrap around the Earth Fiend Fire Banner and fly back. At the same time, he took out two talismans. As he laughed, he first activated one and then disappeared.

Because the five Dharma Adepts were affected by the previous fight, they were slightly slower. Whether it was locking down space or directly attacking, they all brushed past Fang Qi. Their faces were ashen as they used their secret techniques, wanting to chase after him.

"Damn it, this brat actually has such a miraculous method to hide his aura. Even my tracking technique is useless!" Hui Tong, the Hundred Hands Adept, shouted angrily in the air like rolling thunder, stirring up waves and waves of ripples. He originally planned to snatch Fang Qi's Tianxin Seven Demons Sword after obtaining the Earth Fiend Fire Banner. Who knew that this brat Fang Qi would take away the Earth Fiend Fire Banner along with the Earth Fiend Fire Banner? Not only did he not get the treasure, but he also lost face. How could he not be angry?

Zhong Qiuping, however, said coldly, "I don't believe that he can continue to hide and not care about his own nest!" Then, the fire dragon sped towards the direction that Young Master Duotian came from.

The other Dharma Adepts also had the same thoughts. They couldn't be bothered to chase after the Dharma Adept who received the inheritance from the Earth Pole Adept. They each chose a direction and, like casting a large net, searched inch by inch towards the location of Young Master Duotian's family.

In Canglan City, Shi Xuan, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. Although Young Master Duotian's dao technique to hide his aura and remove traces was very mysterious, and even the Yin Yang Godly Mirror might not be able to see through it, his fate cloud that covered a radius of a few miles had already deeply betrayed him.

Under normal circumstances, if one used the Five Elements Immortal Vanquishing Sword to look at luck, as long as the distance was a little bit further, the luck would mix together, and it would be really hard to distinguish. However, Young Master Duotian's luck was really too special, too outstanding, and it could be seen clearly at a glance. Even if Shi Xuan used the Five Elements Immortal Vanquishing Sword to cut off a little bit, because of the sturdiness of his luck, it was not much different from the original.

…

Beside the Cang Lan River, in the middle of a collapsed mountain, in a half-collapsed cave.

Fang Qi looked up to the sky and laughed. "Hahaha, indeed, the most dangerous place is the safest place. These guys didn't even think that I would still be here. Hmph, before I came out, I had already arranged for my family to move. Where are you going to find me?"

He looked very satisfied. "Wait until I become a Dharma Adept, then I will go to them one by one to take revenge for today's pursuit! With two treasures in hand, what can the Primordial Spirit Adepts do to me?! Hmph, if I become a Primordial Spirit Adept, I will definitely destroy the four major sects. All the female disciples, the most beautiful ones, will be my concubines, and the less beautiful ones and the male disciples will be my slaves! "Fang Qi had already started to daydream about the future.

After daydreaming, Fang Qi played with the Earth Fiend Yin Fire Banner in his hand and smiled. "Let's wait a bit longer. When those Dharma Adepts are a bit further away, I will go out. Hehe, although this time was a bit of an unfavorable start, in the end, I still became the big winner. That guy with the Yuan Yang Treasure Ruler, if I find out who he is, I will definitely cut him into a thousand pieces and burn his soul with Yin Fire, making him wail for a hundred days before he dies! "

Thinking of the Yuan Yang Treasure Ruler, he thought of the five-colored flying sword. That feeling was like a frog meeting a snake, and it still made Fang Qi shudder. After thinking for a long time, he still could not think of the reason, so he could only give up, thinking that it was because of the power of the flying sword.

Although Fang Qi was a bit arrogant, he was still able to keep his cool. After waiting for a full two hours, he felt that those Dharma Adepts would never return. Then, he got up and prepared to change his appearance and leave the cave to meet up with his subordinates hidden in the city.

But at this moment, a ray of purple light surrounded by nine golden flowers cut through the air and flew in from the top of the collapsed cave, heading straight for Fang Qi. Accompanying it was the five-colored flying sword that Fang Qi was afraid of. Its speed was even faster than the Yuan Yang Treasure Ruler, and in an instant, it was right in front of Fang Qi.

Moreover, a huge hand made of five-colored lightning shot towards Fang Qi. The thumb was a cyan one-legged Kui Ox, the index finger was a red monkey with a pointed mouth and wings, the middle finger was a yellow three-eyed Heavenly Venerate, the ring finger was a white boar with scales and a human body, and the little finger was a black dragon with a human head and a dragon's body. As the fingers changed, five-colored lightning bolts of silver, green, red, yellow, brown, and black appeared, emitting crackling sounds of thunder and lightning. They locked the space with an infinite suction force, making it impossible for Fang Qi to dodge or evade.

Caught off guard, Fang Qi panicked. He did not expect that the person with the Yuan Yang Treasure Ruler would be here. He was even more daring than he was! But how did he discover him?! His talisman was drawn by a Primordial Soul Adept!
