In the deepest part of the Thousand Needles Forest, they saw He Shiwo lying motionlessly on the ground. Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator fell from a height of three hundred feet, it wouldn't be much of a problem. However, when He Shiwo was struck by the array, he had to endure all of Fan Jian's attacks.
Fan Jian shot out a few rays of white light that pierced through He Shiwo's defensive barrier and pierced three to four holes in his body.
After falling to the ground, Zhong Yue quickly went up to He Shiwo and stabbed him a few times. After that, the two of them went up to confirm that He Shiwo was dead. A true disciple of the Xuan Ling Sect, a spy of the White Bone Gate, and the clan leader of the He Clan had died in the deepest part of the Thousand Needles Forest.
After confirming, Zhong Yue took out a knife from his storage pouch and cut open He Shiwo's wrist. He took out a mercury bottle and collected his blood. After the bottle was filled, he went to the stone door and poured the blood on the spirit pattern on the right side.
This time, two-thirds of the spirit pattern on the stone door was activated. The only spirit pattern lock in the middle was barely holding on. From behind the door, a vast aura leaked out. This time, it was even stronger than before. It blew away all the sand and stones in front of the stone door.
This time, Yi Tian couldn't hold back anymore. The thing behind the stone door must be related to the Xuan Yang Sect. The three spirit pattern locks must have been left behind by the ancestors of the three sects after the Xuan Yang Sect split into three. However, the blood of the direct disciples of the three sects was needed to unlock the spirit pattern locks. He Shiwo must have cultivated the Bright Sun Spirit Refining Art before he was targeted. The small bottle that Zhong Yue took out must also contain the blood of the direct disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect. This time, it was Shen Peiqi and Qu Yifeng's turn.
Fan Jian and Zhong Yue turned around and stared at the two Xuan Yang disciples. One of them shot out a green light while the other shot out a white light. The two of them slowly moved forward.
Before the two of them could make a move, they heard a gust of wind. Realizing that something was wrong, the two of them immediately dodged. They saw two fireballs flying towards them. When the two of them flew into the air, twenty consecutive fireballs flew towards them. Seeing that they couldn't dodge the attack, Fan Zhong and the other man had no choice but to take out their spirit tools to defend themselves. They even activated their own protective shields to the maximum.
The fireballs in the air exploded violently after hitting the ground, stirring up a sandstorm that blew the entire scene once again.
When they opened their eyes, Shen Peiqi and Qu Yifeng saw a tiger-headed man standing in front of them, while Fan Jian and Zhong Yue stood opposite of him. Their protective shields were flickering in and out of existence. Fan Jian's protective shield had a few black marks on it, but Zhong Yue's condition was obviously better than his.
Shen Peiqi was stunned. Fortunately, the person in front of her was clearly a friend and not an enemy. Qu Yifeng recognized the tiger-headed man and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the tiger-headed man say, "You two deal with the fatty. Leave the skinny one to me. Just delay him."
The five of them were immediately split into two groups. Yi Tian would face Zhong Yue head-on while Fan Jian would have to face two opponents at the same time.
This was the second time Yi Tian fought with Zhong Yue. The last time was seven years ago when Yi Tian accidentally killed his brother Zhong Shou outside the Cheng Clan's market. The two of them fought fiercely in the air. Although Yi Tian was at a disadvantage at that time, after seven years of cultivation, Yi Tian already had a plan. He would go all out and finish off his opponent before he could react.
The spiritual sword in his hand was covered in flames, and with a loud sound, the fiery sword was thrust towards Zhong Yue. Yi Tian then split a part of his divine sense to control the spiritual sword. He cast out the flame dart in his hand and adjusted his position with the [Flash of Gale], quickly approaching Zhong Yue.
The green spiritual light in Zhong Yue's hand enveloped the flying sword, and the two flying swords clashed in the air. After three to four clashes, Zhong Yue gained the upper hand, but Zhong Yue wasn't happy at all. The flaming dart in Yi Tian's hand pierced through the spiritual sword and smashed onto the protective barrier. Even though Zhong Yue had taken out another defensive spiritual treasure to protect himself, the impact of the flaming dart on the protective barrier was still enough to make the people inside feel uncomfortable.
Although Yi Tian hadn't reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, his dual elemental cultivation made his spiritual pressure slightly stronger than Zhong Yue's. Seeing that his opponent was temporarily suppressed, Yi Tian sneered. His left hand continued to attack with the flame dart while his right hand secretly took out the olive core made from Star Iron from the storage pouch. He secretly attached a trace of Mystic Sun Fire to it and wrapped it with a layer of fireball. Then, he split a part of his divine sense and shot it out in an arc.
Zhong Yue, who was inside the protective shield, was also anxious. The tiger-headed man's cultivation level was obviously lower than his, but he was still able to suppress him. Originally, he thought that he could win the battle of attrition with his cultivation level of middle stage Foundation Establishment. But after a quarter of an hour, the tiger-headed man's attacks didn't weaken at all. On the other hand, he was struggling to maintain the spiritual treasure's defense, which consumed a lot more spiritual Qi than his opponent. Just as he was thinking of a counterattack, Zhong Yue saw the opponent's right hand flash. He knew something was wrong and quickly withdrew his flying sword and focused on defense.
The flame dart directly hit the protective shield. The light shield flickered and was about to collapse. Zhong Yue suddenly bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood on the copper bell. The light shield shone brightly again and defended against the spiritual sword and flame dart.
Then, Yi Tian said, "You fool." An apple-sized olive core pierced through the copper bell from behind Zhong Yue. The light shield seemed to have been melted by the olive core and a hole was made in it. Then, the olive core pierced through Zhong Yue's chest. Yi Tian immediately used [Flash of Wind] to attack, but the flying sword cut through the protective shield and chopped off Zhong Yue's head.
The three people fighting in the distance had different moods. Fan Jian wanted to retreat after seeing his companion killed. But the two people in front of him were like sticky candy. They didn't want to fight him head-on, but they often used methods to restrain him. He couldn't run away, but he couldn't fight properly.
Shen Peiqi was surprised to see the tiger-headed man kill Zhong Yue in a quarter of an hour. She ignored the injuries on her body and attacked with all her strength. She said to Qu Yifeng, "What are you looking at? Continue to fight with him. Later, the three of us will pincer him and capture him alive." Qu Yifeng's ferocious nature was stimulated after being yelled at, and the Crimson Sun Fire Sword in his hand suddenly became stronger.
Yi Tian, who was beside him, also took out a mid-grade spirit stone. He crushed it and put it in his mouth. There was no other way. He had already used up the Cloud Sky Wine, so he could only make do with mid-grade spirit stones.
After ten breaths, Yi Tian felt that he had almost recovered. He immediately joined the battle. The three of them surrounded Fan Jian, forcing him to defend himself. He didn't even have the chance to self-destruct.
As Qu Yifeng's flying sword broke through the protective shield, Shen Peiqi immediately rushed up and injected a ball of Crimson Sun Fire into Fan Jian's body, completely controlling him. Then, Shen Peiqi began to interrogate them. After questioning them, she found out that they were the inner disciples of the Ming King Road. Ten years ago, they came to Dong Ao to search for the Ming King's treasures. They only knew that a thousand years ago, the saint of the Ming King Road fought with someone in Dong Ao. After he died, the treasures in his hands were sealed.
The location of the seal was the Thousand Needles Forest. There were three spiritual rune locks on the stone door, each requiring the blood of the direct disciples of the three sects to open. Fortunately, when they came, the Goddess of Bliss from the Ming King Road gave them a set of blood. She told them that as long as they found the direct disciples of the Xuan Ling Sect and Chiyang School, they would be able to gather their blood to open the door.
After ten years of searching, the two finally found He Shiwo and Shen Peiqi through the White Bone Gate. As for Qu Yifeng, he was just an extra. Qu Yifeng was so angry that he cursed out loud. He even emphasized in front of Shen Peiqi that he worked very hard.
As for what the saint's treasures were behind the door, Fan Jian refused to say. In the end, Shen Peiqi forcefully used a soul-searching technique, but she didn't get any valuable information. She only knew that the Goddess of Bliss from the Ming King Road was a Jin Dan early stage cultivator. She was the direct superior of these two.
Seeing that she couldn't get any more information, Shen Peiqi directly burned Fan Jian into ashes with her Crimson Sun Fire. Yi Tian took off his tiger mask and shook his head. Then, he took He Shiwo's storage bracelet and erased the imprint in front of the two. He took out the items inside and looked through them.
Yi Tian felt that the biggest gain was that He Shiwo's Bright Sun Soul-Refining Art. This was a secret art of the Xuan Ling Sect that only direct disciples could cultivate.
Yi Tian was best at splitting the spoils. He took out two jade slips from his storage bracelet and copied the Bright Sun Soul-Refining Art into two copies. Then, he handed them to the two of them. Qu Yifeng was still smiling when he received the jade slips, but when he saw the serious expressions of his two senior martial brothers, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Yi Tian said, "We took the secret art of the Xuan Ling Sect. We have to be careful in the future. We can't let a fourth person know about it. Otherwise, everyone will be in trouble."
After Shen Peiqi nodded, Qu Yifeng looked at the two of them and nodded as well.
It was said that men should share the spoils together when they were close. The three of them were very casual and divided the items in the three storage bracelets.
Most of the spirit stones were divided equally between the three of them. The Brightking Path's Brightking Hell Suppression Art was an earth attribute spirit art. Shen Peiqi didn't have an earth attribute spirit root, so she couldn't use it. Qu Yifeng wanted to take it, but he was stopped by Shen Peiqi. Seeing that Qu Yifeng didn't understand, Shen Peiqi could only patiently explain, "Junior Martial Brother Qu, after this battle, you should be aware of your own strengths and weaknesses. Right now, the most important thing for you is to cultivate the Crimson Sun Fire to the extreme. Don't be greedy for other people's cultivation arts. You should know that biting off more than you can chew."
Under Qu Yifeng's expectant gaze, Yi Tian also agreed that as long as Qu Yifeng cultivated to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he would be able to get a copy. Only then did the matter settle down. In the end, when he saw Shen Peiqi's apologetic expression, Yi Tian also smiled.
Among the spirit tools, Yi Tian only took Zhong Yue's copper bell. This thing looked good. Although it had a hole in it due to his own Mystic Sun Fire, it could still be a very good defensive spirit tool after some repairs. As for the other things, they were all divided equally between the two of them. This made Qu Yifeng's expression look a lot better.
The finishing work was always done very quickly. The three of them burned He Shiwo and Zhong Yue's corpses to ashes. As long as the three of them kept their mouths shut, no one would know about this matter.
Then, Shen Peiqi and Qu Yifeng found an open space and slowly rested. Yi Tian said that he wanted to take a look at the spirit pattern array on the stone door and stayed behind by himself.
After looking at the stone door for a while, Yi Tian found that this spirit pattern array was roughly the same as the one he saw at the bottom of the Ice Soul Cave. However, there should be three people who laid down this sealing array, and each of them left a spirit pattern lock on it. Now that two of the three arrays were gone, the sealing effect of this stone door had also weakened. From time to time, some aura would leak out from inside.
Since it couldn't be opened, the best way to deal with it was to strengthen the array disc. However, to strengthen the array disc, the original spirit patterns had to be sorted out. After Yi Tian calculated for a while, he directly took out a talisman pen and refining materials from his storage bracelet. Thinking about how he had been constantly laying down arrays for the past few years, his heart was filled with anger. Since there were people in Chiyang School who were sincerely trying to mess with him, then they shouldn't blame him for tampering with the array.
