In a cave where the Yuxiao sect was located, there was a jade wall. A figure sat in the jade wall. This person was Hall Master Su Heng, Zhou Xianyang.
The cultivation technique he cultivated was one of the Four Qi and Two Techniques of Yuxiao school, the Stellar Illuminating Technique. After cultivating this technique, his battle prowess was not considered high, but his true body would be hidden in the mirror wall. Normally, he only needed to transform into a shadow body to go out.
Regardless of whether it was his cultivation technique, divine ability, aura, or appearance, they were the same as the true body. They could even be exchanged at any time.
However, if he used the shadow body to fight with others, he would need to expend thirty percent more magic power.
Just Now, he was instructed by Zhenren Kangzheng. If someone from Shaoqing fought with his life on the line, he had to be the one to receive the sword. If they won, the sect would naturally compensate him. Therefore, when Elder Xue slashed with his sword, he took the initiative to activate the shadow body to attack.
Now, it seemed that he had successfully killed a Shaoqing elder. Xue An was the person with the highest seniority in the Extreme Sword lineage. Without him, even if the other two escaped, their threat to them would be greatly reduced.
However, if Zhou Xianyang wanted to come out and fight with others again, he needed to condense another shadow in the mirror wall. However, this shadow also needed to be refined with his magic power and essence Qi. With his current cultivation technique, he could still condense three more. If he used all of them, he could only be trapped in this mirror wall until the end of his life. Even his soul could not be reincarnated.
He made up his mind, and after a while, he refined another shadow body. Then, he released it and prepared to meet up with everyone again.
However, the shadow body had just taken a step out of the mirror wall when its body suddenly shook. As if it was killed by countless sword-lights, it shattered into pieces.
Everything happened in a short moment. When he reacted, the shadow body had already disappeared without a trace. Not a single trace was left, as if it had never appeared in the world.
Zhou Xianyang's expression changed slightly, but he did not panic. He thought, "Could it be that Daoren's sword is so powerful that he could actually rely on the guidance of qi to chase me here?"
After thinking about it again, Elder Xue should be dead. Even if the sword Qi did not disappear, it could not last for long. He just had to wait for a while more.
This wait lasted for two hours.
He began to ponder. Feeling that he had waited long enough, he activated his technique and condensed another clone. However, the moment he stepped out of the mirror wall, the result was exactly the same as the clone Just Now. Similarly, it collapsed and disintegrated without any warning.
His expression instantly turned ugly. At this moment, how could he not see that there was definitely something strange about Elder Xue's sword?
At this moment, he didn't dare to release his doppelgangers anymore. If all three of them were killed, he would be trapped here forever. No one would be able to save him. Now, he could only wait for the outcome of the battle to be decided outside.
Elder Xue's final slash was an extreme sword divine art known as Origin Crossing End. In the Shaoqing Sect, he was the only one who managed to do it.
The intent of this sword light was to chase after the opponent's true self. If the opponent didn't die, then he wouldn't leave. This was a method of mutual destruction. Thus, when Elder Xue was struck by Yuxiao and the others, he had already died.
It was as if this world had already determined that he had killed his opponent. Therefore, as long as Zhou Xianyang's aura appeared in the world, he would be able to kill his opponent. It was bound to collapse.
Although Zhou Xianyang was not truly defeated and killed, Yu Xiao would not be able to receive even the slightest bit of help from him. Looking at the result, it was not much different from death.
At this point in time, the Yuxiao side did not know that Zhou Xianyang could not return to the formation. He was just about to stop Feng Xuanzhao and Ran Xiushu from escaping when the two of them were affected by the Star Leading Art. As long as he acted in time, there was a high chance that he would be able to stop one of them.
However, when Zhenren Kangzheng was about to make a move Just Now, he frowned. He retracted his hand and turned his gaze in another direction.
There was a flash of spiritual light, and after a while, a cultivator stepped out on a wave. It was a middle-aged Daoist with an elegant face and a beard.
As soon as he appeared, the entire scene was filled with the sound of waves and the sound of the tide, and everyone present felt as if they were in the depths of the ocean.
When Feng Xuanzhao and Ran Xiushu saw him, they did not turn around to escape. Instead, they held their swords and stopped.
Zhenren Kangzheng said in a low voice, "Meng Zhen, it was unwise of you to come here. Letting these two go and keeping you here is worth it."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone said, "Oh? What if we are included? "
There was another flash of light. Pingdu Sect's Sect Master Qi Hongchan and a cultivator from the sect, Wu Weiyi, walked in.
At the same time, a tall Daoist also walked behind Meng Zhen. It was Qincang School's Daoist Grotto-Heaven's Enlightened Zhu Zhixing.
Just Now, due to the urgency of the situation, Meng Zhen could not find too many people. He was not familiar with the cultivators of other sects, and there was a high possibility that they were cultivators of the Devil Sect in disguise. Therefore, he could only find people he was familiar with. He found Enlightened Zhu himself, but Qi Hongchan and Ran Xiushu bumped into each other halfway, so they came together.
Zhenren Kangzheng's expression was slightly serious. Although the number of people on the other side was equal, there were two Nascent Soul Perfected Masters. If they fought, needless to say, his side would definitely lose.
Just as he was thinking about how to retreat, he saw a surge of blood Qi from the side. Then, it gathered and formed a fairy-like cultivator with a tall hat. He looked at both sides and smiled. "Fellow Daoist Kangzheng, I wonder if I am late?"
Zhenren Kangzheng smiled and cupped his hands. "You are not late. Sect Master Fang came at the right time."
Fang Shun walked to the side of Yuxiao school and stood still. Feng Xuanzhao and Ran Xiushu looked at each other and walked to the side of Qincang School.
The two sides were in a stalemate. At the moment, both sides could be said to be equal in strength. No one could easily suppress the other.
Meng Zhen was not in a hurry to fight, because he knew that if he did, only he and Qi Hongchan would be able to survive. Moreover, he could sense that the water of the four seas that had been moved to outer space was about to return. If he could get its help, his divine arts and Daoist techniques would be improved to a higher level, and he would have a greater chance of winning.
Yuxiao's side was also waiting. Compared to Qincang School, they also had some concerns. But according to what Venerable Wei had said earlier, there were still people from the Devil Sect rushing over. Since that was the case, if Qincang did not attack first, they would be happy to drag it out. It would not be too late to attack when they had the upper hand.
Somewhere in the Void Space, there were several Devil Sect cultivators flying through the skies. Among them was a middle-aged Daoist with a medium build, red lips, and a long beard. He was Jiuling Sect's Sect Master, Fei Yue.
There were three people beside him. One of them was the sect's cultivator, Guan Yu, and the other two were virtual images reflected by the Great Spirit Stele.
Jiuling Sect was different from other sects. Even without the help of the Origin Mirage Sect's Sect Master, Xue Dingyuan, they could still control these virtual images. This allowed them to unleash battle prowess that surpassed their peers from other sects by quite a bit.
Fei Yue had listened to Liang Xunyi's guidance and rushed towards where Yuxiao's cultivators were. But this was not something that could be done just because he said so.
Those who were proficient in formations should have more or less understood how to travel through this place by now. It was just that those who understood the principles behind formations were few and far between. Within the Devil Sect, the ones who understood this the most were the cultivators from Mucheng Sect. Fei Yue, on the other hand, did not know much about it. Therefore, he could only try to find clues left behind by his fellow sect members to find his way over.
All of a sudden, a jade pendant hanging on his body trembled slightly. He knew that there was definitely a Qi activity left behind by his fellow sect members in the vicinity. Sweeping his gaze around, he fixed his eyes on an inconspicuous rocky beach. Reaching out, he grabbed a stream of Qi activity and recited a spell silently. Instantly, it turned into a message talisman, and quite a number of words appeared on it.
He took a few glances and said, "Just Now, Wen Zhenren from the Blood Soul Sect passed by here not too long ago. He said that the Parasite Plate of Zhenren Nie from his sect has cracked and he should be dead. He might have been killed by the cultivators from Qincang School on his way there. He wants us to be careful."
Guan Yi's expression froze. The cultivators from the Devil Sect would leave a secret talisman among each other. After the first few people fell, no one was hurt for a long time. Nie Yi's cultivation was not weak and he was only one step away from the third stage. Unexpectedly, he was defeated and killed. He said, "Could it be that Zhenren Nie met Zhenren Yuantai?"
Fei Yue pondered for a while and shook his head, "It's hard to know. Anyway, it's better to be careful."
He did not care at all. He had the precious weapon with him. Even if Zhenren Yuantai came, he would not be afraid.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a loud sound from above.
He immediately looked up and saw that in the sky, there was Qi of Xuan surging over. Then, a huge hand that covered the sky stretched out and slapped towards them.
Fei Yue was also shocked and said, "Zhang Yan?"
Guan Yi also turned pale and said anxiously, "Sect Leader, this person's mana is profound. It's not good to fight him head-on. Why don't we retreat?"
Fei Yue snorted and said, "We can't retreat. This person dares to do this, he must have a backup plan. How can I fall into his trap? Moreover, I am the leader of a sect, there's no reason for me to retreat without a fight. "
He had already calmed down and thought, "You came at the right time. I don't believe that I can't defeat you."
With a flick of his sleeve, he first released dozens of huge pillars. They landed on the ground and as he chanted, they slowly rose up and actually blocked the huge hand. However, the pillars made cracking sounds and seemed like they could not hold on for much longer.
He did not expect them to be able to block it. They were only used to buy some time. He reached out and took out a flag from his sleeve.
The flag was several feet tall. The back was plain and the front was mysterious. After it was taken out, there seemed to be a circular mouth that was wide open. It was empty and bottomless. One could see many figures struggling and flashing within, as if they were eager to jump out. At the back, there was an eye that was cold and emotionless. It was dead silent.
This was the ultimate treasure of the Jiuling Sect, the Infinite Spirit Banner. Not only did it consecrate the spirits of the past generations of ancestors, it even contained the consciousnesses of the corpses of the ancient Western Continent cultivators who had died in battle. The opponents that were gathered from these were not to be underestimated. And the more spirits gathered, the stronger the might of the banner would be.
With the flag in hand, Fei Yue's confidence was boosted. He believed that after this battle, the power of the flag would increase by another level.
Zhang Yan also saw the flag in the sky and immediately recognized its background.
In order to scare their enemies, Jiuling Sect had purposely revealed the strength of the flag. However, he was clear that there were no remains of Venerable Mortal Slough within.
However, even if such a person were to appear, he was not afraid. The Sect Guarding Treasure had it and so did he. Since he could not see Ling Ya, he would not hesitate to use it when the time came.
If it was someone of the same generation, he was not afraid. Even if it was a West Continent cultivator, if they were to appear here and go against Qincang, he would kill them all with a single slash of his sword!
