In the courtyard where the disciples resided in, a cold sword qi whizzed out and landed on a rock not far away.
Peng!
The rock that could be hugged by a person exploded into eight pieces. Each piece was neat and tidy, as though they were marked with a ruler.
Sheathing his sword, the young man's eyes lit up.
Senior Brother, Shen Wang!
After breaking through yesterday, he studied the sword mark and finally comprehended the eighteenth form of the Thirty-Six Forms of Immortal Subduing, Inch of Heaven!
Reaching this level, even in the entire Great Yan Prefecture, he could be considered as one of the top cultivators in his age group.
"Yes, Senior Granduncle..." Shen Wang's eyes were filled with gratitude.
If not for his Senior Granduncle, who was even younger than him, it would have taken him at least half a year to reach his current level of strength. Furthermore, he wasn't the only one. All of the other disciples of the sect had benefited greatly from the battle as well.
Five days ago, the sect master and the others disappeared. To be honest, all the disciples were filled with fear for the future. They thought that the sect that had been passed down for ten thousand years would fall and become a second-rate sect or even be destroyed. Who would have thought that the moment Junior Granduncle appeared, there would be an unimaginable reversal.
With a single finger, he suppressed seventeen powers, causing the other sects in the Great Yan Prefecture to not dare to invade. With a lesson and a sword mark, he raised the cultivation of all the disciples by a large margin... Just with these two things, not only would the Immortal Subduing Sect be in the top ten, they might even be able to enter the top five!
With this kind of ability, not to mention the history of the sect, even in the entire history of the Great Yan Prefecture, it would be hard to find someone who could match him.
He was truly the best in the world!
In the past, he thought that his cultivation and talent were not bad, but compared to this person, he was worse than trash.
"Senior Brother, bad news..."
Just as he was lamenting, an anxious shout came from outside the door. He walked out and saw Zhou Yuan standing not far away with a grave expression. Seeing him come out, Zhou Yuan hurriedly said, "Yesterday, Liu Yi, who was taken in as a disciple by Senior Granduncle's pet, suddenly went crazy today and ran to the training field to challenge him. More than ten disciples have already lost!"
Shen Wang was stunned, "With the guidance of Senior Parrot, his cultivation has improved rapidly, but he is only at the third level of Essence Casting. There are so many senior brothers in the sect, can't they stop him?"
"I am no longer at the 3rd level of Essence Casting Stage!"
Zhou Yuan's face was filled with disbelief. "I don't know what's wrong with that lad, but the energy in his body seems to be inexhaustible. Every time he makes a move, he will use his full strength. Putting aside those of the same cultivation realm, even senior brothers who are two cultivation realms higher than him aren't a match for him! After a dozen or so matches, not only did my strength break through four levels consecutively, reaching the 7th level of the Origin Casting Stage, my understanding of the Sword Dao has also advanced by leaps and bounds, directly comprehending the 14th form! "
"7th level of Essence Casting, 14th Style?"
Shocked, Shen Wang dared not believe his eyes. "Let's go and take a look!"
Even with his talent, he could be considered to be one of the top disciples of the Master Teacher Pavilion. Even so, it had taken him ten years to reach his current level. Yet, the other party actually managed to do it within a single day and night. Was this for real?
He hurried over to the training ground and saw Liu Yi sparring with someone else.
His opponent was a disciple from the same batch as him, Du Xu! At the 8th level of the Essence Casting Stage, his understanding of the 36 Immortal Subduing Forms had reached the 15th form.
The sword gleam whistled and the sword qi was icy cold. After observing for a moment, Shen Wang frowned, "There's something wrong with this Liu Yi! She exerted her full strength in every move she made. Logically speaking, after three slashes, her strength should be completely depleted. She doesn't even have the strength to lift her sword, so how can she become stronger as the battle goes on? "
Many people at the 7th level of the Origin Casting Stage were capable of exerting an attack at the 8th or even the 9th level of the Origin Casting Stage. However … it was only the strength of a single move. If one were to miss, they would collapse to the ground due to exhaustion, unable to continue fighting.
This Liu Yi was using such a method. Even though she exerted her full strength, in the next moment, she would immediately recover from her injuries … It was as though she was a perpetual motion machine that didn't know fatigue … How could one fight against her?
Peng!
Just as he was lamenting, Du Xu was struck by a sword. He retreated several steps and fell from the stage.
Defeated!
"Who else?" Liu Yi looked around with an imposing aura.
"I'll do it!" Another disciple roared. Just as he was about to jump onto the stage, Shen Wang stepped forward, "Let me do it!"
As he spoke, his body flickered and he floated onto the stage. With a flick of his sword, sword qi whistled.
Liu Yi bellowed and charged forward.
Awesome!
She had never fought so well before!
The strength in her body flowed endlessly, allowing her to freely execute sword moves that she didn't dare to execute in the past. She was able to fight against her seniors whom she feared in the past …
It was precisely because of this that her cultivation was able to break through her limits quickly. Her comprehension of the Way of the Sword was also frightening.
The further one progressed in the Immortal Subduing Thirty-six Forms, the more Zhen Yuan one needed to execute it. Thus, even if one remembered the moves, they wouldn't be able to execute it!
The strength in Liu Yiyi's body coincidentally solved this problem. Her moves became more coherent and powerful. The swordsmanship that she could only sigh in admiration of in the past was now executed as smoothly as flowing water.
In less than an hour of sparring, she had benefited more than many people who had cultivated for ten years or even a hundred years!
"I don't believe that you have so much strength in your body …"
Seeing that Liu Yiyi had been using her strongest moves, Shen Wang's scalp turned numb. He didn't dare to underestimate her and used all of his strength to receive her attacks.
Boom!
Under Zhang Xuan's suppression, Liu Yiyi broke through once more, reaching Origin Forging 8-dan. Her comprehension of swordsmanship had also reached the fifteenth form. Just as she was about to continue fighting, a surge of strength suddenly gushed out like a waterfall, and her aura fell as well.
After fighting with more than a dozen people consecutively, she finally exhausted all of the strength in her body.
Sensing that something was amiss with Liu Yiyi, Shen Wang's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to charge forward to defeat her, the other party hurriedly waved her hands, "Wait a moment, I'm a little tired. Let me eat …"
"Eat???" Shen Wang was taken aback.
Eating in the middle of a duel … What the heck?
Bewildered, the other party flicked her wrist and a pot appeared before her. There was still some rice in it. She scooped it into a bowl and dipped it into it without any hesitation.
On the dueling ring, in the middle of a duel, eating with a bowl … This scene was indescribably bizarre.
Not only him, all of the disciples present also stared at one another in bewilderment.
Everyone else was tired and wanted to rest. What's wrong with you? Are you hungry?
"It really does look like rice!"
"It's just that the rice grains are slightly bigger and nicer to look at, but it's still real rice. There's no problem with it at all!"
"What is that fellow up to?"
…
Discussions broke out all around.
"Alright!"
Wiping her mouth, Liu Yiyi casually tossed it aside and stood up abruptly without caring about her hand gestures.
At this moment, she finally understood how much effort her senior granduncle had put into bestowing the rice to her. If she had known that the rice was so powerful, she would have only cooked two grains instead of putting a jin of it into the pot … But now, it was too late. If she didn't eat it, it would spoil. If she ate it, she wouldn't be able to dissipate the rampaging energy within it. Thus, she could only rely on duels to speed up the consumption of the rice.
Even though it was a little wasteful, it was still much better than throwing it away!
As soon as the rice entered her stomach, immense heat gushed into her limbs and bones. Roaring furiously, Liu Yiyi charged forward once more.
Fifteenth Form, fifteenth Form, it was still the fifteenth Form!
In an instant, he used all the strongest moves that he could. The Sword Qi was as violent as a huge wave. Layer after layer, it was endless. There was no way to stop it.
"…" Shen Wang was completely dumbfounded.
Just a moment ago, he could clearly feel the other party's strength plummeting. Yet, after eating the rice, she suddenly became energetic … What in the world happened?
"It has something to do with the rice …"
Two consecutive slashes forced the other party to retreat. Shen Wang rushed to the metal pot that the other party had thrown to the side. Even though most of the rice had been scooped out, there were still a few grains stuck to the surface.
He hurriedly tore them off and stuffed them into his mouth.
Boom!
His entire body jolted as boundless energy surged into his dantian. His exhausted body recovered in an instant. As though he had transformed into a different person, Shen Wang's aura rose rapidly.
"This …" Blinking his eyes, Shen Wang felt as though his head was about to explode.
Even though he had guessed that there was something wrong with the rice, he didn't expect it to be so powerful!
Just by eating a few grains, it was already stronger than him eating a bunch of pills. It was already comparable to a grade-3 pill.
"It's senior granduncle …" He soon came to a realization.
This fellow didn't appear before him, so his sudden appearance must have been given to him by his senior granduncle. Only he would be able to take out such a valuable item.
Just by acknowledging a pet of his senior granduncle as his teacher, he was able to obtain so many benefits. In just a short day, his cultivation rose from 7-dan Juxi realm to 8-dan Essence Forging realm …
In an instant, Shen Wang's eyes reddened in envy.
This won't do. I have to acknowledge senior granduncle's pet as my teacher too. Even if I can't become his pet, I can still become his artifact spirit. Didn't he say that he had a talking frying pan? In any case, as long as it was related to senior granduncle, he would just acknowledge him as his teacher.
Upon seeing this sight, Liu Chang and Zhou Yuan's eyes reddened as well.
Previously, they were still mocking the other party for acknowledging a bird. Only at this moment did they realize that this was the wisest decision … Compared to him, they were just fools who had lost their opportunity …
…
"I should continue looking for Sun Zhao!"
Su Yin thought to himself as the bed board flew through the air towards the other side of Great Salt City.
He did not know any other artificers, nor had he been to other Alchemy Halls. If he wanted to manifest his divinity and obtain Spirit Qi, Sun Zhao was the most suitable choice.
The bed board, which was engraved with several types of formation patterns, was driven by the Divinity Realm Zhen Yuan, so its speed was extremely fast. In a dozen breaths, it had flown dozens of miles.
"Hmm?"
Su Yin stopped when he was not far away from the other party's residence.
Above Sun Zhao's courtyard, there was a huge flying boat. It was more than ten meters long and was entirely made of metal. It exuded a strong wave of Spirit Qi. It was actually a high-grade Spirit Qi!
Mo Yuan's Camphor Leaf Flying Boat was only a middle-grade Spirit Qi. It was strange that there was a high-grade one here.
On the deck of the boat stood an old man with a cold expression.
"An Inherited Realm expert!" Su Yin's heart skipped a beat.
Although he could not see through the other party's cultivation, he felt the same as Mo Yuan. He had definitely reached the Inherited Realm!
This kind of strength could be considered top-notch even in the Great Yan State. Where did he come from?
Full of doubts, the old man's voice rang out.
"Sun Zhao, I didn't expect you to live in such a small place for a hundred years. Where is your arrogance? Hand over the Spirit-consolidating Celestial Stone and I'll let you live. Otherwise, today will be the day you die! "
After that, he gently made a grabbing motion. A protective shield formed by light fell from the sky and enveloped the entire courtyard.
The protective shield was formed by dense threads of Primordial Qi. In the middle of the shield was an array disk suspended in the air.
Sun Zhao flew up from the courtyard. He looked at the light shield in the sky and sneered. "Xu Chong, your Crafting Hall of the Alliance is willing to spend a lot of money. I didn't expect you to be afraid that I would escape and even brought the Cage Lock here!"
"Your Flowing Light Evasion Technique has reached perfection. I'm doing this just in case!"
The old man named Xu Chong smiled faintly and said, "Alright, there's no point in talking too much. Hand it over and we'll let you live on account of the Qingyun Sect!"
"I've already betrayed the Qingyun Sect. I'm no longer a disciple of the Qingyun Sect. If you want to kill me, just do it. There's no need to find an excuse!" Sun Zhao raised his eyebrows and said.
"Betrayed?" Xu Chong was puzzled. "Then why has the Qingyun Sect been blocking the pressure from our Crafting Hall for you? Especially the previous Sect Leader, who seems to be your Senior Brother. He did not hesitate to compete with the Third Elder and almost died in the Sunset Cloud Valley! "
"Blocking the pressure for me?" Sun Zhao did not seem to know about this matter. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you talking about Mo Yuan?"
"That's right! A hundred years ago, although your escape skill was not weak, it would have been very difficult for you to escape from the encirclement of several Heritage Realm experts! If Sect Leader Mo Yuan did not make a move personally and even used the Qingyun Sect as a stake, do you really think that you could have successfully stolen the Spirit-Consolidating Immortal Stone? "
"This..."
Sun Zhao's body trembled in disbelief. Then, as if he had thought of something, his face turned pale. He took a deep breath and regained his indifferent expression. "I've already severed ties with the Qingyun Sect. I'm no longer a member of the sect. Why would they block the pressure for me? What a busybody! "
"You've really severed ties with the sect?" Xu Chong looked at him.
"Of course!"
"That's for the best. We don't have to worry about anything anymore!"
Xu Chong chuckled and waved his hand. Four young men flew out of the ship and surrounded Zhang Xuan. "Are you going to obediently hand over the treasure, or do you want us to kill you and take it away from you?"
"I've already used the Spirit-Consolidating Immortal Stone. You won't be able to find it even if you kill me. I advise you not to waste your time." Sun Zhao sneered.
"Used it? I hope that you can be as stubborn as you are right now! "Xu Chong couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on Zhang Xuan.
Hu!
As soon as he said those words, the middle-aged men around Zhang Xuan made their moves simultaneously. Four surges of energy surged forward like four chains, locking down the surrounding space.
To think that they were four Zongshi realm experts!
Even in the Ten Great Sects, experts of this caliber could be considered as the top experts. Yet, a mere Apothecary Pavilion had four of them. This meant that the Qingyun Sect was definitely on par with a first-rate sect.
In the past, Immortal Subjugation Sect had Su Yin's "cheap senior brother", who was an Inherited Realm martial artist. The sect master, great elder, and seven other Grandmasters had died! After the death of his' senior ', the sect leader and the others had succumbed to the pressure and were unable to achieve a breakthrough. Thus, they had to take the risk and venture into the Celestial Ocean.
"Humph!"
With a sharp glint in his eyes, Sun Zhao stomped on the air, and a ripple immediately rippled into the surroundings. Upon coming into contact with the ripple, the four chains immediately dissipated.
"To think that you would be able to achieve a breakthrough to Heritage realm. No wonder you're so confident! However, this is as far as you can go … "Slightly taken aback, Xu Chong made a grabbing motion in the air.
Heavy snow seemed to have fallen above the courtyard, and the air was extremely cold. Following which, a whimpering sound echoed from the surroundings, and a hook-like object flew straight toward Zhang Zhao.
It was the pinnacle Spirit artifact, Frostsnow Soul Stealing Hook!
There were formation inscriptions inscribed on it that could affect one's soul, thus giving it its name. At this moment, it was forged by Xu Chong, and it contained the Heritage realm Zhen Yuan. Unable to withstand the pressure, the space above the courtyard began to tremble.
Sun Zhao's expression turned grim.
Xu Chong had a high standing in the Blacksmith Alliance, and he was a Heritage realm 3-dan expert. He was much stronger than Zhang Xuan, who had just achieved a breakthrough.
A three chi long black sword appeared abruptly. It floated in the air and spun around.
It was an Illusory Sword, a pinnacle Spirit artifact!
It was forged from a mixture of Heaven's Heart Ore and Blackstone. It was pitch-black, and there were green inscriptions on its surface. It possessed the ability to devour blood, and once used, it was extremely powerful. It was also his most famous and powerful weapon.
"Sky Piercing!"
With a low shout, the sword aura floated in the air and collided with the Frostsnow Soul Stealing Hook. The Zhen Yuan rippled in all directions, creating a series of sonic booms. The space within a radius of a few hundred meters seemed to have been imprisoned. There was no sign of life, not even the slightest wind.
A battle between Heritage realm experts!
Although experts of this level had not touched upon the power of space, they had already surpassed ordinary cultivators and formed their own domains.
The battle between the two of them had formed a domain similar to that of a vacuum.
Buzz ~ ~
At this moment, the cage lock shook slightly, and the vacuum domain immediately shattered like a mirror. Sun Zhao's pupils constricted. Then, he saw the four Grandmasters floating around him, all of them holding long swords and thrusting toward him.
With the Frostsnow Soul Stealing Hook as support, their attacks were the real deal.
"Humph!"
Zhang Xuan's expression turned ugly. The aura in his body soared rapidly, and like an illusory sword, he pointed in four directions in an instant, blocking the surging sword intent one chi away from his body.
Within one chi, he formed a world of his own!
Bang!
The four Grandmasters flew backward and quickly stabilized themselves. However, Sun Zhao's Qi and blood were boiling, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He could no longer control himself and fell to the ground like a cannonball, smashing a big hole in the ground.
After all, he had just broken through, and he was too excited when his wife woke up yesterday, so he did not have time to consolidate his cultivation.
Seeing this scene, Su Yin frowned.
He did not expect to encounter such a battle between experts when he came to find them. For a moment, he did not know whether to go back or hide.
Fortunately, he did not fly fast, and in order to prevent others from discovering him, he flew very high. In addition, he had been using the Tai Chi diagram to hide his aura. Otherwise, he would not know what to do.
"A gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall. Besides, I'm too weak. Even if I rush over, I can't help …" Su Yin thought.
There was no spiritual energy in his body that he could borrow. At this moment, he was just a nobody in the first tier of the Divinity Palace. If he rushed over rashly, he would only die.
"An expert in the third tier of Heritage actually dares to sneak up on me. Not bad, not bad!"
With a sneer, Sun Zhao flew out of the hole. Although his face was pale, his aura was getting stronger. "However, if you want to kill me, at least two of you will have to die!"
Taking a deep breath, the longsword appeared in his hand again, and rays of sword qi surrounded him.
"Qingyun Sword Intent?"
Feeling the energy from Zhang Xuan, Xu Chong was stunned. "No wonder the Qingyun Sect protects you so much. You have comprehended such Sword Intent. If you don't leave, you will be number one in the Qingyun Sect in a hundred years!"
At this point, Zhang Xuan turned to the four Zongshi realm experts and said, "The four of you should back down first. You won't be a match for someone who has comprehended such Sword Intent. Just as he said, if you were to charge in recklessly, at least two of you might die."
"Yes!"
Nodding, the four of them retreated to the side to maintain the operation of Cage Lock.
With a smile, Xu Chong walked down from the flying ship. He came to the light barrier and tapped lightly, and the light barrier separated.
As the controller of Cage Lock, it was easy for him to enter and exit. However, it would be difficult for others to do so.
"Let me see your strength!"
The Frostsnow Soul Seizing Hook appeared once more. It morphed into a streak of light and struck down on Sun Zhao.
Before it even reached Zhang Xuan, the sky was already filled with snowflakes. A powerful aura filled the air, bringing with it a great pressure.
Boom!
The courtyard below could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed. Rocks, mud, and all kinds of furniture were reduced to dust.
Su Yin looked over, but he did not see the butler coming out. It seemed like the butler was not inside.
"No wonder that fellow gave the Violet Golden Eagle to me so easily …" Zhang Xuan came to a realization.
No matter what, the golden eagle was raised by the other party since it was young. He had only answered a single question, and the other party was willing to give it away. Even if the other party was willing to die, there was no way the other party would give it away so easily.
From the looks of it, the other party had already guessed that someone was coming to kill him. Giving him away in advance could be considered giving him a way out.
"You want to see my strength? That depends on whether you're qualified or not!"
Sun Zhao raised an illusory sword. A sword will, like a cloud floating in the sky, cut through the air and collided with the other party's power.
A violent explosion erupted in the air. Sun Zhao had struck 78 times in the blink of an eye, but he still could not block Xu Chong's Frostsnow Soul Seizing Hook. He kept retreating in the air.
"Get down!"
Xu Chong shouted loudly. The aura on his body soared rapidly. In half a breath, it doubled. Under the influence of Zhen Yuan, a vacuum appeared around him again. In the blink of an eye, the Frostsnow Soul Seizing Hook became as big as a mountain, making it impossible to dodge.
"So strong …"
Sun Zhao's face turned pale.
He had underestimated the strength of the Inherited Realm!
Anyone who could reach this realm did not have some trump cards. Not to mention other things, just this move alone was enough to make him unable to resist.
It spun rapidly like an illusory sword. One sword broke through the air, and the other sword reached the sky.
This move was the Heaven-raising Sword!
The sword will was vast like a dragon and fire. It was more like a waterfall that went against the flow and rushed into the clouds.
Boom!
The sword and hook collided, and there was a thunderous explosion in the air.
Puff!
Blood spurted out. Sun Zhao flew back hundreds of meters before he could stabilize himself. His face was even paler.
They were both Inherited Realm experts, but he had just broken through. He was no match for them.
"As expected of the Qingyun Sword Will. Not bad!"
Xu Chong exhaled and said with a serious expression, "If my cultivation was slightly weaker, it would be hard to tell who would win."
Even if the other party's cultivation was lower than his, the combination of this sword technique and sword will made him feel a strong pressure. Fortunately, the cage was around him, so it was his home ground. Besides, he had made the first move. Otherwise, it would be hard to tell who would be injured.
"You're not bad either. You're good at refining, but you have such combat strength. Very strong!"
Sun Zhao said as he suppressed his boiling dantian.
The alliance was divided into the Elder Hall, Refining Hall, Alchemy Hall, and many other divisions. Among them, the Elder Hall was the strongest. The Refining Hall was just a gathering place for cultivators who were good at refining. Even so, he could not defeat them...
"Alright, I've said what I need to say. I'll send you on your way. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for finding trouble with the alliance's Refining Hall!"
Xu Chong shouted, and the Frost Soul Stealing Hook came down again. This time, although it was not as powerful as before, it was not much weaker. The sword will floating in the air was torn apart on the spot. Sun Zhao was pushed back again. His dantian shook, and his Zhen Yuan was in chaos. He was severely injured.
Su Yin furrowed his brows.
Although he felt that a gentleman would not stand under a collapsing wall, he knew the person in front of him and had benefited from him. It was hard for him to watch the other party die in front of him.
However, without spiritual energy, he would not be able to use his cultivation!
Why not... go ahead and refine in front of them and get some spiritual energy first? After dealing with him, he would defeat him?
It was possible, but he did not know if the other party would give him the time to do so.
If they did, he would be fine. If they did not... it would be embarrassing if he was beaten to death before he could even get the spiritual energy out.
If he had known that it would be so dangerous, he would have brought Donkey along with him so that he could defeat two Zongshi realm experts first... Of course, whether that fellow could defeat a Zongshi realm expert was still a question.
"What a pity..."
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was powerless to resist, Xu Chong sighed deeply. With a flick of his wrist, the Frost Soul Stealing Hook came crashing down once more.
Wuwuwu!
Just as Sun Zhao was about to reach his limit and Su Yin was about to rush forward to forge the metal, an explosion sounded in the air. A flying ship stopped in the air, and a figure flew out anxiously.
Mo Yuan!
Before he even reached the cage, a loud and clear voice rang out in a hurry.
"Xu Chong, is your Forging Hall really going to make an enemy out of the Qingyun Sect? You should know that Old Ancestor Zhan Qing is the second-in-command of the Elder Hall! "
Sensing the powerful disturbance in the spiritual energy, Xu Chong rushed over on his flying ship.
"Old Ancestor Zhan Qing is indeed from the Qingyun Sect, but after so many generations, do you still have any ties with him?" Xu Chong sneered coldly.
"No matter how much ties there are between us, if you kill a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, he will surely teach you a lesson. Otherwise, what will happen to our reputation?"
Mo Yuan bellowed.
"This..." Xu Chong frowned.
The Alliance of Sects in the Great Yan Prefecture was formed ten thousand years ago. Back then, each of the sects sent one or even several experts to gather at the same place to oversee the affairs of the Qingyun Sect.
Later on, they were the ones who proposed and organized the Tournament of Sects.
Ten thousand years had passed, and some sects had risen to prominence while others had fallen. The experts of the Alliance of Sects had grown accustomed to their lofty position and unique environment, so they did not wish to return to their sects. Thus, some of them took in disciples, some of them gave birth to children, and others passed down their heritage.
Therefore, even though many of the experts in the Alliance of Sects were still in the name of their respective sects, in reality, they no longer had much attachment to their sects.
For example, the Old Ancestor Zhan Qing that Mo Yuan spoke of was the head of the Qingyun Sect in the Alliance in name, but in reality, he had never returned to the Qingyun Sect since he was born. He had long since lost his attachment to the sect.
But sometimes, feelings were not important. The Qingyun Sect was a sect that had been passed down for ten thousand years. Since Old Ancestor Zhan Qing was in name, he would not allow others to bully him.
Otherwise, what prestige would he have left as the second-in-command?
Just as he was hesitating, Sun Zhao's body trembled slightly. He gritted his teeth and shouted.
"I have long betrayed the Qingyun Sect. I have nothing to do with the Qingyun Sect. Mo Yuan, you don't have to pretend to be a good person here!"
"That's right! He has already admitted that he isn't a disciple of the Qingyun Sect. Since he isn't, the Alliance's Crafting Hall has no problem teaching a wandering cultivator a lesson! "
Xu Chong's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled up. "Besides, killing him can be considered as cleaning up the Qingyun Sect and punishing the traitor. I'm sure Old Zhan will not blame me. Instead, he will reward me!"
"Junior Brother..."
Mo Yuan's expression turned ugly when his junior brother said this after he had gone to great lengths to intimidate Xu Chong.
"I've already said that I have betrayed the Qingyun Sect. I have nothing to do with the Qingyun Sect. You don't have to call me junior brother... I don't have a senior brother like you!"
Sun Zhao clenched his fists and shook his head.
He knew how much he had offended the Crafting Hall. If he admitted it, even if the Qingyun Sect could help him temporarily, it would bring disaster to him in the future.
Rather than that, he might as well deny it.
"Sigh..." Mo Yuan sighed.
How could he not know what Xu Chong was thinking? Although this junior brother of his claimed that he was no longer a member of the Qingyun Sect, he was still thinking about the sect at this critical moment.
"Haha, even he refuses to admit it. Mo Yuan, you have nothing to say now, right?"
Xu Chong's lips curled up. The Frostsnow Soul Seizing Hook in his hand floated up again. It looked like it would come crashing down with just a thought.
"Whether he admits it or not has nothing to do with me. If you want to kill him today, you have to do it over my dead body!"
Exhaling, Mo Yuan strode toward the cage. He looked down at his junior brother as he spoke. "Back then, I chose not to save Junior Sister Liu for the sake of the sect. Now that I'm no longer the sect leader, I don't have so many burdens. I can't watch you die in front of me... I can't do it!"
"You..."
Sun Zhao's eyes reddened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fool! It took a lot of effort for the Qingyun Sect to produce a Level Three Legacy. If you die, the sect's strength will drop by at least thirty percent. I'm just a useless person. Rufei should have died the day she died. Why do you have to take the risk for me? "
"No matter what, you're still my junior brother!" Mo Yuan chuckled and ignored his junior brother's words. He looked at Xu Chong in the cage and raised his eyebrows. "Do you dare to fight with me?"
"You, Mo Yuan, were once the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect. Your name shook the world. Your Qingyun Sword is unparalleled. I'm just a refiner. I'm lucky to have the same strength as you, but my combat ability is far inferior!"
Xu Chong laughed. "Forget it, I admit defeat! It's better for me to deal with Sun Zhao obediently and complete the mission given to me by the Weapon Refining Hall. If you really want to fight with me, please come to Sunset Cloud Valley. When the time comes, I'll welcome you with open arms and will definitely not refuse. "
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the four Grandmaster Realm elites and sent a telepathic message to them. "Hold Mo Yuan back first. I'll deal with Sun Zhao first!"
"Understood!" The four Grandmaster Realm elites nodded at the same time. They flew out of the cage and stood in front of Mo Yuan to block him.
They were all peak Grandmaster Realm elites. If they worked together, even if they could not defeat Mo Yuan, it would still be easy for them to hold him back for a few minutes!
Moreover, even an Inherited Realm elite would not have an easy time breaking out of the cage. As long as Xu Chong dealt with Sun Zhao and worked with them, no matter how strong Mo Yuan was, it would be difficult for him to win.
Moreover, he had a high-grade flying ship. If he could not win, he would still escape.
"Xu Chong, you're courting death..."
Seeing the four Grandmaster Realm elites blocking his path, Mo Yuan gritted his teeth in anger. He stabbed the sword in his hand toward the Cage Lock.
At the same time, he whipped out the Luminous Moon Cauldron and smashed it down.
Everyone knew that his swordsmanship was unparalleled, but they did not know that he was a blacksmith. His fighting prowess when he used a cauldron was extraordinary as well.
Hu!
However, before the sword and the cauldron could reach the four Grandmaster Realm elites, a formation was activated. In an instant, a protective barrier formed around the four of them.
"A grade-7 formation?"
Mo Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his face turned as pale as a sheet.
If four Grandmaster Realm experts were to work together to activate a formation of this grade, even if he were to use his full strength, it would be difficult for him to break it in a short period of time. Not to mention, there was still the Cage Lock!
Even in the alliance, grade-7 formation masters were rare. To use such a formation just to kill his junior, the Blacksmith Hall must have put in a lot of effort!
"Mo Yuan, take your time. I'm going to make my move now..."
Xu Chong turned to Sun Zhao and whipped out the Frostfrost Soul Seizing Hook once more, aiming it at Sun Zhao.
In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Xu Chong used his full strength. Unable to withstand the blow, the latter was smashed to the ground once more.
Taking advantage of the other party's weakness, Xu Chong swung the Frostfrost Soul Seizing Hook down.
This time, it was even faster and stronger. Even if Sun Zhao was at his peak, he would not be able to withstand it, needless to say, his current state.
"No..."
With reddened eyes, Mo Yuan clenched his fists tightly and roared.
Back then, it was because he failed to save Junior Liu that his junior left with resentment. Now that he had failed to save his junior, he felt so indignant that he could explode at any moment.
"Senior, thank you..."
Knowing that it was impossible for him to dodge the attack, Sun Zhao muttered to himself before slowly closing his eyes.
He had wronged his senior all these years. In that position, his senior did not have any other choice. He had been too selfish...
Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance to repay him. He could only wait for his next life... to be his junior in his next life!
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang! Just as he thought that he was going to die this time, a faint sound suddenly came from the silent sky.
At first, it was very weak. Then, it became faster and more frequent, like metal clashing against metal.
He was stunned for a moment before he quickly raised his head. He immediately saw a bed flying over from the sky and stopping before the cage.
Weng!
The Enchanted Treasure that even Inherited Realm experts could not open in a short period of time trembled in fear when it saw the bed. It actually took the initiative to open a door and let the bed fly in.
"This..."
In an instant, Xu Chong and the four grandmasters who were about to attack were stunned as well. They stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy stood on the bed with a calm expression. He held a hammer in his hand and stood in front of a crafting table, forging a piece of Refined Iron.
The Refined Iron gradually took shape. It was... a spatula.
"Junior martial uncle..."
Mo Yuan's eyes reddened, but a smile appeared on his face.
Since this person had personally made a move, it meant that his junior... could be saved!
