"There's no need to worry too much. With master here, even if a Ten-leaf beast comes, it won't be a match for us," Yu Zhenghai replied.
They did not know their master was only a Nine-leaf cultivator. They thought their master had secretly reached the Ten-leaf stage and initiated his Birth Chart. Ye Zhen, Chen Tiandu, Chen Beizheng, and Sikong Beichen were all defeated by him.
Outside the hall.
Little Yuan 'er sensed the rich life energy. She pulled Conch and said, "Quick, Little Junior Sister, sit down and cultivate."
"Oh."
The two of them sat cross-legged in front of the palace.
He was enjoying the extra benefits that his master had brought him.
…
Lu Zhou's guess was verified.
Indeed, there was no need to rush a Nine-leaf cultivator into the Ten-leaf stage. They could just let things take their course.
When the melon is ripe, the stalk will fall. This is the best way to advance.
The prerequisite was that his cultivation had to be at the peak of perfection.
Ye Zhen must have mastered some special technique for him to be able to enter leaf-sprouting mode at any time despite the prolonged battle.
It was a bit of a loss.
They should be kept and used to extort a confession.
Another hour passed in the blink of an eye.
More and more birds appeared in the sky.
A dense life aura surrounded the entire mountain peak, rising up like the morning mist covering it with a layer of gauze.
In the main hall.
Nie Qingyun and the emperor, Li Yunzheng, conversed happily.
A disciple hurried over to report, "Sectmaster, there seems to be a huge commotion over at Senior Lu's side."
"Movement?"
He had once ordered that apart from daily cleaning, no Yunshan disciples were allowed to approach unless there was something special. What could be happening at this time?
"Berserk beasts."
Nie Qingyun stood up and said to Li Yunzheng, "Your Majesty, I'll be right back."
"I'll go with you." Li Yunzheng had been staying in the palace for a long time. Now that he could finally leave the palace, he was curious about everything in the outside world. Naturally, he would not let such a good opportunity slip by.
"Alright. Be careful, Your Majesty. "
Nie Qingyun waved his hand casually.
The two of them flew toward the cloud platform.
From the cloud platform, the view of the twelve peaks of the Cloud Mountain was excellent.
Nie Qingyun looked over and sensed a rich life aura.
At this time, the five elders of Cloudcloud Mountain also flew over.
"What happened?"
Nie Qingyun said, "Go and have a look. Do your best to assist Senior Lu."
"Yes."
The five elders stepped on the air and flew over.
Li Yunzheng asked, "Did something happen to grandmaster?"
"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. This is just to prevent any accidents. Under normal circumstances, ferocious beasts rarely appeared in Cloud Mountain. Whenever a Nine-leaf cultivator appears, huge beasts will appear. However, they're all weak beasts that aren't a match for me. However … "Nie Qingyun looked at the mountain peak with a complicated expression." Senior Lu seems to be sprouting a leaf. "
"Sprouting leaves? Are you going to sprout the Eleven-leaf stage, grandmaster? "Li Yunzheng scratched his head.
Nie Qingyun chuckled and said,
"Based on his aura and Primal Qi, he should be at the Ten-leaf stage. This was illogical. From the One-leaf stage to the Eight-leaf stage, one could repeat the process of sprouting leaves to stabilize their realm. The lotus throne sprouted leaves by gathering energy. Hence, by repeating the process, one could stabilize their strength. This method can't be used after the Nine-leaf stage. "
He was also puzzled. "Senior Lu, how did you do it?"
Li Yunzheng smiled and said, "If a Ten-leaf cultivator like you doesn't know about it, I'm sure I don't."
At this moment, far away from the last peak of the twelve mountains, the sky was covered in a black mass. It was as if a black cloud was sweeping over.
Li Yunzheng was familiar with the beast encyclopedia. He recognized the beast with just a glance. He pointed at the sky and said, "Yong."
"Yong?"
Nie Qingyun frowned slightly. He immediately turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please return. It's not safe up there."
Without waiting for Li Yunzheng's reply, he grabbed him and flew toward the fourth peak.
Xia Changqiu, Meng Changdong, and the others walked up to them.
Nie Qingyun said, "There are beasts on Cloud Mountain. I'll deal with them. Protect His Majesty."
After saying that, he leaped into the air and flew toward the third mountain peak.
Meng Changdong had the highest cultivation base among the group. He walked up to Li Yunzheng and said, "I'll protect His Majesty. All of you, back him up at any time."
The others nodded.
…
The black cloud loomed over the city.
The yong that filled the sky seemed like ink as they slowly swept toward Yu Zhenghai.
Yu Zhenghai walked up to Yu Shangrong. He looked at the beasts and said, "This isn't looking good."
"Are you afraid?" Yu Shangrong smiled faintly.
"It's just a small matter. There's no need to be afraid."
Yu Shangrong looked down and said, "Ninth Junior Sister, protect Little Junior Sister."
"Oh."
After saying this, an energy sword appeared in Yu Shangrong's hand as he shot toward the beasts.
Yu Zhenghai would not fall behind. He swung his Jasper Saber.
Two Nine-leaf avatars hovered in the air, forming a wall that kept the beasts at bay. Bam!
Bam! Bam!
The energy swords and energy sabers began to baptize the yong.
"There's more up there."
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. "Eldest Senior Brother, watch carefully."
"Hm?"
Yu Shangrong pushed his palm forward.
An energy sword shot out from his hand and into the sky.
Whoosh!
The energy swords split apart. In just a few breaths, the entire horizon was covered in energy swords.
Nearly 60,000 energy swords shot toward the beasts.
It was like a storm.
"It's rare for someone to be able to do this without a weapon," Yu Zhenghai praised as he tossed his Jasper Saber out.
The first move was the Sovereign's Descent.
The energy sabers spun. The beasts in the sky were dismembered by the energy sabers before they fell from the sky.
Then, the energy sabers transformed into a huge dragon that dove into the beasts. It danced back and forth in a domineering manner.
Wherever the dragon's head went, the carcasses of the beasts were left behind.
"What do you think of the Water Dragon's Song?" Yu Zhenghai asked with a smile.
"To be able to unleash the Water Dragon's Roar after the Sovereign's Descent, it's truly amazing," Yu Shangrong said.
It was easy for one to be careless when one followed up with an ultimate move.
Swoosh!
Nie Qingyun appeared near the duo. He heard their exchange of flattery.
As he looked at the beasts falling from the sky, he thought to himself, 'Aren't Senior Lu's two brilliant disciples at odds with each other? He was not used to this sudden exchange of flattery. Throughout their time on Cloud Mountain, the duo had never stopped discussing the battle between the sword and the saber.
"Sect Master Nie?" Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai turned to look at him at the same time.
"Uh …"
Nie Qingyun waved his hand sheepishly. "Looks like … I won't be needed."
At this moment, the ink-like Yong in the sky suddenly retreated. Most of the Yong split into two.
A Yong that was as big as a chariot hovered in the air.
Its face resembled the human face of a tree bark. It was shaped like an owl with four eyes and huge ears.
It exuded a tenacious aura of life.
Yu Shangrong said tonelessly, "I'm afraid the situation isn't looking good this time."
"Who cares what it is? Let's kill it first."
The two of them rose into the air.
Yu Zhenghai was the first to summon his avatar. He gripped his Jasper Saber with both hands. Energy sabers gathered and wrapped around the Jasper Saber. A 50-meter energy saber descended from the sky.
Bam!
It struck the Yong's body.
The Yong cried out in pain.
Screech!
The muffled sound was lacerating. It seemed capable of shattering one's eardrums. Even the smaller Yong beasts were forced to flee in all directions.
After the Yong shed its roots and feathers, it lunged at Yu Zhenghai and Yu Zhenghai in a frenzy.
When it opened its mouth, it was as though a crack had opened in the ground. The crack widened.
"You want to eat me? Let's see if you're capable of it." Yu Zhenghai unleashed his Sovereign's Descent. His energy saber was like a flood as he pushed it forward and retreated.
At this moment, Yu Shangrong appeared in the air above the Yong.
He pushed his palm down, and an energy sword shot out from his palm.
Bam!
The energy sword … broke!
Yu Shangrong's arm went numb. He bounced back and somersaulted in the air before he swiftly returned to his original position.
"That's a tough head." Yu Shangrong smiled. "Alas, I don't have my Longevity Sword."
It would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for an energy sword to pierce the Yong's head.
The Yong was infuriated. It charged at Yu Zhenghai and Yu Zhenghai with its body.
The dark mass of bodies blocked the entire mountain peak.
Nie Qingyun said in a deep voice, "Allow me."
He unleashed two grand techniques in a row and appeared above the Yong. His Sky Soul Saber appeared in his hand as he shouted, "Livestock, eat this!"
He gripped the saber's hilt with both hands. The energy saber extended. It was longer and wider than Yu Zhenghai's energy saber.
The saber descended.
Bam!
The powerful rebound forced the Sky Soul Saber out of Nie Qingyun's hand.
"This beast is sturdy!" Nie Qingyun grabbed the Sky Soul Saber and flew in front of Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong. "Look for its weakness."
Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai nodded.
The three of them flew into the sky.
Meanwhile …
Several miles away from the Cloud Mountain, on a small hill, several cultivators saw the black mass of Yong beasts.
An expression of shock appeared on their faces.
"A Birth Chart Beast?"
"Spread the word that Cloud Mountain has discovered a Birth Chart Beast."
"Understood, boss. What's a Birth Chart Beast? "
"It's been a long time since such a beast has appeared in the red lotus domain. It's said that one needs at least 1,500 years to activate a Birth Chart. This beast's life aura is powerful. Beasts that can provide enough life are called Birth Chart Beasts, "the cultivator said.
"But … there's an elite on Cloud Mountain."
"All we have to do is spread the word … The Sky Martial Court has ordered us to keep an eye on Cloud Mountain and report any movements."
"Understood."
"Do it quickly. The Sky Martial Court has been searching for Birth Chart Beasts all these years. They've searched almost every mountain range and forest in Great Tang. I'm sure they'll like this piece of news. "
"Understood! I'll send a letter right away. "
The cultivator looked at the huge beast in the sky and said, "Cloud Mountain … I'm afraid you won't be able to take down this Birth Chart Beast. However … Where did this Birth Chart Beast come from? "
