Qi Ye! She inserted her spirit into the armor, but with a low cry, the silver plate turned into a ray of light and entered her Ancestral Aperture. She was stunned, but instead of being shocked, she was happy. She thought that the treasure had automatically recognized her as its owner, and thought, This treasure should be mine.
Mu Hongchen tried to attack several times, but she was forced back by the demon's ghost-headed spear. The demon stood in front of the Devil Vault, guarding the door tightly. Every time she retreated, he would retract his spear and not chase after her. [.]
Mu Hongchen couldn't help but feel anxious. Although the Heart Protection Lamp shone brightly in the sky, it was the result of her activating the lamp oil in it. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for her. Originally, Zhang Yan had saved Qi Yelan once, and she didn't want to owe him any more favors. However, there was no other way. After thinking about it, she could only shout, "Fellow cultivator Zhang, can you lend us a hand?"
Zhang Yan had been observing from the side for a long time. He realized that apart from the long spear in his hand and the ball of black gas, there was nothing particularly powerful about this demon. Whenever Mu Hongchen's Mystic Light attacked him, he would immediately block it and didn't dare to let it touch him. Zhang Yan had a rough idea of what was going on. He said loudly, "Since Fellow Mu has asked, I'll help you."
Just as he was about to make a move, he heard a loud bang above his head, as if thunder had struck down. A huge golden pillar flew out of nowhere, spinning in the air and emitting bursts of bright light. In an instant, the golden gas exploded, and the sword light tore through the sky.
Zhang Yan frowned, and together with Jian Xiao, they rushed out of the range of the light in the blink of an eye. Mu Hongchen was also shocked. Fortunately, she had the Agarwood Shield to protect her. Even so, she was still pushed back by the sword light. Hu Jue was further away, and she had suffered a loss just now, so she did not dare to get close.
She did not make it.
Qi Yelan could not dodge in time. Just as she was shocked, she felt the token between her eyebrows heat up, and the light around her body seemed to not listen to her commands, and actually rushed out of the door.
Only the devil standing in front of the door refused to dodge. He kept brandishing his spear in an attempt to parry, but how could he block the all-pervasive sword light? In the blink of an eye, he was torn to shreds by the waterfall of golden energy, and the door behind him was immediately opened.
Right at this moment, a streak of red light shot toward the entrance of the Devil Treasury at an incomparably fast speed. Once inside, the light dissipated, revealing the figure of a woman.
Mu Hongchen opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Uncle-Master Ni?"
Ni Qianying stood there proudly and mocked, "Mu Hongchen, you didn't expect this, right? You and your disciple have schemed for so many years, but in the end, this Devil Treasury will still fall into my hands! "
She smiled complacently and stretched out her hand to press on the stone tablet. She couldn't wait to refine this restriction. However, a moment later, an indescribable shock and horror appeared on her face. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when the door closed with a bang. The Devil Treasury was pulled out of thin air and thrown into the distance. In the end, it landed on a ferry that floated over from who knew where.
There was a middle-aged Taoist priest sitting on the ferry. When he saw the Devil Treasury flying over, he chuckled and reached out his hand. The object in the air became smaller and smaller, and finally fell into his sleeve.
Mu Hongchen was shocked. Where did this Taoist priest come from?
Qi Yelan and Hu Jue seemed to have realized that something was wrong. They quickly leaned towards her and looked at the Taoist priest with a face full of vigilance.
When the Taoist priest came closer, they could see his face clearly. He had a pair of phoenix eyes, a square forehead, and a smile on his face. He had a beautiful beard in front of his chest. He was obviously handsome, but the three women present felt that he was extremely evil and not a good person.
Seeing him coming over, Mu Hongchen scolded, "You Taoist priest, why do you want to snatch our things?"
The Taoist priest laughed and said, "I have obtained this Devil Treasury for 32 years, even earlier than you and your disciple. Even if it's not mine, I can't say that it belongs to you." Mu Hongchen was stunned and couldn't help but be more cautious. She probed, "Do you know my master?"
The Taoist priest smiled deeply and said, "Of course I know her. When I obtained this Devil Treasury, I originally wanted to use it as bait to lure a few people to be my disciples. I didn't expect that I would attract a big fish like your master, Red Flower Fairy. I felt that I couldn't bear it, and I also felt that she would ruin my plans. Therefore, I had to be ruthless."
When Mu Hongchen heard the last part, she felt as if her ears were struck by thunder, causing her to lose her balance. She pointed at the Taoist priest and said with a trembling voice, "You … you killed my master?"
The Taoist priest admitted frankly, "Yes, your master, Red Flower Fairy, was a Core Formation Cultivator. If I had succeeded in condensing my Core, I would have fought with her. However, her lifespan was almost up, and I hadn't completed my cultivation, so I couldn't bear to fight her with my life. Therefore, I used some tricks to taint her Gold Core, so that I could send her on her way earlier."
Mu Hongchen shouted, and the red glow on her head rose several feet high. She pounced forward and said in a hoarse voice, "Evil Taoist priest, I will kill you today to avenge my master!"
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "I have a name, Lu Ge."
He sat on the boat and watched Mu Hongchen rushing over, but he didn't have any intention of dodging or blocking.
Just as Mu Hongchen was about to reach him and was about to make a move, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He took a closer look and realized that it was Qi Yelan. He stopped in his tracks in shock and said angrily, "Junior Sister Qi, what are you doing?"
Qi Yelan's face was also filled with fear. She said, "Senior Sister, I, I don't know, I didn't mean it."
Lu Ge waved his horsetail whisk and said, "Disciple, come to me now.
When Qi Yelan heard his call, her eyebrows heated up, and she flew towards him involuntarily. She stood behind him respectfully, but her face was filled with fear, and she didn't know what was going on.
Mu Hongchen saw her expression and instantly understood that she had been tricked. She said angrily, "Evil Taoist priest, what did you do to my junior sister?" Lu Ge smiled and said, "I didn't do anything. It's just that your junior sister doesn't have the heart of a cultivator. She's too greedy and stubborn, which is a huge hindrance to her cultivation. However, I don't mind, and I'm willing to take her in as my disciple. I'll guide her for a few years and teach her the Way of Immortality."
Mu Hongchen calmed down. She knew that this Taoist priest was powerful and she couldn't fight against him. Now that Ni Qianying and Qi Yelan had been captured, if she and Hu Jue were to die here, the Agarwood Sect would be completely destroyed. Therefore, she took two steps back and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhang, Junior Sister Qi, let's go."
Zhang Yan stood still and shook his head. "Brother Mu, since this person dares to tell you about killing his master, he must have a way to prevent us from escaping."
Lu Ge looked at Zhang Yan and said with a smile, "Only this Fellow Daoist understands. I've already laid down a Dragon Trapping Array on the sixth floor. Without me opening it, even if you know how to break it, you won't be able to leave within half a month.
Mu Hongchen's voice was as cold as ice. "Evil Taoist priest? What do you want? "
Lu Ge squinted his eyes and said, "As long as you're willing to become my disciple and cultivate my skills willingly, I won't hurt you. If you're willing to let me put a restriction on you, I can let you go. My conditions are very generous, you better think about it carefully."
Mu Hongchen sneered and said, "You want to be my master? Let's see if you're capable enough!"
She knew that she couldn't escape, so she didn't think about anything else and dashed forward again. Relying on the protection of the Agarwood Shield, she condensed all the light around her body into a ray of rainbow light that swept towards Lu Ge.
Lu Ge chuckled and waved his sleeves. A ray of green light burst out from behind him and exploded in the air. The red light that was descending disappeared instantly.
Mu Hongchen was shocked. She quickly circulated the spiritual energy in her body and tried to force out another ray of light. However, it was too late. Lu Ge laughed, and a ray of green light shot out and landed on her head. She felt like a millstone that weighed a ton was pressing down on her body. Not only could she not move her legs, but she also had no choice but to kneel down slowly.
Lu Ge smiled at her and said, "I'm not in a hurry to accept you. You can stay here and ponder for a while."
Zhang Yan saw that this Daoist priest was able to suppress Mu Hongchen with just a ray of split light. He knew that this person was at least at the third level of the Mystic Light Realm, or even higher.
After reaching the second level of the Mystic Light Realm, the mystic light would be able to change between hard and soft. After reaching the third level of the Mystic Light Realm, the mystic light would change again.
At this level, there was a saying, "Condensed as one, not lost for sixty years." It meant that if a ray of mystic light was placed in a box, it wouldn't disappear even after sixty years. After it was taken out, it could still illuminate the surroundings and return to the user.
When Du Bo died all those years ago, he'd separated a strand of profound light to carry Du You and Fei Xiao, and he'd attained such a state. However, when compared to the feeling of the Daoist before him of being able to do as he pleased, it was still inferior.
Zhang Yan stretched out his hand and stopped Hu Jue, who was about to walk forward. He said in a deep voice, "Daoist Hu, I'll take care of this. Go take care of your senior sister."
Hu Jue knew that she wasn't Lu Ge's match. She nodded and ran towards Mu Hongchen.
Zhang Yan took a few steps forward and smiled. "If this Daoist priest wants to be my master, you'll have to ask the sword in my hand first."
Lu Ge smiled and said, "I'm willing to spar with you, Daoist."
Zhang Yan thought in his heart, and a sword ball leaped out from between his eyebrows. A spot of light that was as fast as fire suddenly slashed towards Lu Ge.
The smile on Lu Ge's face didn't change. He sat there with his legs crossed and only used his horsetail whisk to defend.
The sword ball in Zhang Yan's hand could move at will. They flew up and down around the opponent, but Lu Ge blocked left and right, looking very calm. He actually managed to receive all of the sword lights.
After fighting for a while, Zhang Yan's eyes flashed. The sword ball that was flying in the air suddenly split into two and spun downwards.
"Separation and Reunion Splitter?"
This was extremely sudden, and Lu Ge was also stunned. With a clang, he pulled out a red magic sword with his left hand and waved his horsetail whisk with his right hand, blocking the two sword balls. At this moment, he had a serious expression on his face. He was no longer careless and stood up. Under the attacks of the two sword lights, he wielded the two magic weapons tightly. After fighting for more than an hour, Zhang Yan let out a clear shout. This time, he separated six sword balls. Eight balls of light circled around Lu Ge up and down. There were spots of starlight and silver lines circling around him.
Even so, Lu Ge's expression was calm, and he seemed to be at ease. He didn't fall into a disadvantageous position. However, the more he fought, the more surprised he was. Controlling the sword ball was very taxing on the mind, especially the method of separating the swords. But after fighting for so long, Lu Ge's breath was still strong and his mind was clear. He didn't show any signs of exhaustion, which greatly exceeded his expectations.
After fighting for another two hours, Zhang Yan saw that his opponent was also full of vigor and didn't show any signs of weakness, so he didn't hold back anymore. With a long whistle, the eight sword orbs trembled at the same time, and a sword shadow appeared from each of them.
In an instant, a total of sixteen sword balls flew in the air and spun like a storm. They scattered thousands of light spots and converged into one, sweeping down violently.
Even with Lu Ge's composure, he couldn't help but change his expression. In his life, he had fought with no less than ten sword cultivators. He deeply knew that if one didn't have a magic treasure to protect himself, he absolutely couldn't let them unleash this kind of sword momentum. Once this sword momentum was unleashed, it would be overwhelming, like a storm that couldn't be blocked.
He also shouted loudly, and a blood-red color suddenly appeared on his face. From the dim and tiny golden core in his abdomen, he forced out a wave of Core Evil Qi. He opened his mouth and spat it out. In an instant, it was as if a hurricane was blowing on the ground. The sixteen sword balls were actually blown left and right, and they were actually forced dozens of feet away.
After spitting out this breath, Lu Ge's face also turned pale, and his spirit became a little weary. He secretly sighed, "I was careless, careless."
He continued to gather and condense sword momentum again. His body swayed, and suddenly countless thin strands of mysterious light shot out from his body, rushing forward a step ahead.
