There had not been any abnormalities in the Smelt Forge Mountain Range for more than 20 years, but today, a loud sound broke the silence.
Upon closer inspection, it was not difficult to see a Jin Dan cultivator floating above the volcano, continuously attacking downwards.
The mountain peak had long been covered with layers of restrictions, and a layer of light film was shining and protecting the entire mountain peak. It was the defensive formation that Yi Tian had laid down. Fortunately, with the support of the spirit vein, the layer of light film did not weaken even after enduring a round of attacks.
When Yi Tian hurriedly rushed out of the cave, he saw a cultivator wearing Immortal Sword Sect's inner sect robes in the sky, continuously destroying the restrictions. This time, Yi Tian's face turned ugly, and he hurriedly shouted at the other party: "Who are you, why are you attacking my cave's restrictions?"
Hearing that someone had come out from below, the Daoist cultivator stopped and carefully identified. After a moment, he said to Yi Tian: "I am the Xiang Clan's patriarch, Xiang Tiancheng. You little brat, you killed my Xiang Clan's people and hid here. Do you really think that I can't find you?"
After hearing that, he knew that something was wrong. He had not exposed himself for so many years, so how could he be tracked down? Regardless of the waves in his heart, he still had a calm expression on his face: "Did you recognize the wrong person? I have never seen anyone from the Xiang Clan."
Who knew that Xiang Tiancheng would sneer and say: "What a good 'never seen'. You are underestimating my Blood Meridian Tracking Technique. Just now, when you broke the blood contract, you removed the original seal, but you did not expect that in just a few breaths of time, I would be able to lock onto your position. "
Yi Tian secretly cursed. Just now, he was too excited after successfully refining the pill, and when he broke the blood contract, he did not add any concealing barrier. These Jin Dan cultivators from the Immortal Sword Sect were not easy to deal with. All of them had lived for hundreds of years, so they would definitely have some trump cards.
However, with the mentality of muddling through, Yi Tian still pretended to be ignorant and denied, "Fellow Daoist, you've really found the wrong person. If I say I haven't seen you, then I haven't seen you. I don't want to talk nonsense with you. If you don't stop, then I won't be polite."
"The 'Serum Grass' that you exchanged from Zhang Fengyi was originally mine. If it weren't for the blood contract in your body, why would you try so hard to find this kind of spiritual herb? You still fell for this kind of trick of willingly taking the bait." Xiang Tiancheng spat.
This time, Yi Tian finally understood. It turned out that Zhang Fengyuan was just a white glove. He had already set up a trap to lure the snake out of its hole. He could only blame himself for being too careless. Xiang Tiancheng must have purposely left the fragrance on the 'Serum Grass'. As long as someone wanted to buy the spiritual herbs, they could easily find it.
At this point, Yi Tian couldn't help but admire Xiang Tiancheng's meticulous mind. For the sake of revenge, he had set up such a trap for more than twenty years. Zhang Fengyuan was also in cahoots with him. Now that the two of them had teamed up, things wouldn't be easy to deal with. However, it seemed that he hadn't discovered Zhang Fengyuan's whereabouts yet. He had to first determine the enemy's status before making any plans.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian laughed and said, "Fellow Zhang, since you dared to tamper with the jade box, are you still afraid of showing yourself?" After saying this, he unscrupulously released his divine sense to investigate the situation around him.
Xiang Tiancheng said with disdain, "You think you need two people to deal with an Eighth Stage Jin Dan cultivator like you? You really think too highly of yourself." After saying this, he directly released his natal sword pill, which turned into a one meter long and two inches wide spirit sword that floated in front of him. He formed a seal with his hands and fiercely slashed at the area where Yi Tian was.
This time, Xiang Tiancheng used 50% of his strength in this attack. The spirit sword turned into a ray of white light and struck the center of the restriction. "Rumble!" A loud sound resounded through the valley, and the defensive barrier began to tremble incessantly.
Yi Tian didn't expect Xiang Tiancheng to be so powerful that he almost broke through the defensive formation with one move. He hastily took out a formation plate with his left hand and struck it with a spell seal with his right hand to stabilize the large formation.
This Xiang Tiancheng was definitely a troublesome opponent. Judging from the spiritual pressure on his body, he should be a Jin Dan mid stage cultivator. However, he didn't know what grade of Jin Dan he had condensed.
Fortunately, Xiang Tiancheng was a proud person and didn't bring Zhang Fengyuan with him. Otherwise, he would have to flee with his tail between his legs.
Since Xiang Tiancheng had already come knocking on his door, it wouldn't be good for him to continue hiding. Ever since he formed his Gold Core, he hadn't had a chance to truly fight someone. He still didn't know how strong he had become.
As such, Yi Tian didn't hold back. He activated the Wind Escape Technique and leaped into the air to face off against Xiang Tiancheng. After putting away the formation plate in his hand, he took out three flywheels and pointed at Xiang Tiancheng. The three flywheels whistled as they surrounded Xiang Tiancheng.
After the three sword rays flashed, the three flywheels were instantly smashed to pieces. However, when Xiang Tiancheng saw that Xiang Tiancheng wasn't surprised and instead revealed a sinister smile, he immediately felt that things weren't good.
These three flywheels had been used repeatedly before. Although they were level-four spirit tools, it was expected that they would be smashed by the sword pill. Yi Tian formed a seal with both hands and shouted, "Open!" The three small flywheels in the center left the main body and flew out, attacking Xiang Tiancheng's forehead, back, and lower body.
Before Xiang Tiancheng could react, he heard Yi Tian shout, "Explode!" The three flywheels exploded at the same time, creating three clouds of black smoke that covered Xiang Tiancheng's figure.
He wasn't completely confident in dealing with Xiang Tiancheng, so the best method was to catch him off guard. After the three consecutive explosions, Yi Tian didn't give Xiang Tiancheng a chance to catch his breath and attacked again. A dozen wooden spikes suddenly appeared in his hand and stabbed toward the cloud of black smoke.
A bright light flashed from the smoke and Xiang Tiancheng's figure appeared a hundred feet away. At this moment, his expression wasn't very good and he was gasping for breath. It wasn't difficult to see that there were a few holes in his upper body. He was clearly wearing a high-grade armor, but there was a bloody hole on his thigh.
Xiang Tiancheng pointed at the bloody hole. After a strand of spirit qi covered the wound, he turned to look at Yi Tian and shouted angrily, "I didn't expect you, a level-eight Jin Dan cultivator, to be so strong. I really underestimated you."
Stretching out his hands, Xiang Tiancheng brought out his sword pellet and spat out a mouthful of blood from the tip of his tongue. The spirit sword spread out in the wind and suddenly became more than three meters long. The spirit sword flew towards Yi Tian with a blood-colored light.
This move was one of the three ultimate techniques of the Immortal Sword Sect, the 'One Sword Flying Immortal'. He had seen Sun Deqing use it before during the refining test in Heaven Sword City, but Xiang Tiancheng's power was too strong.
Yi Tian didn't dare to be careless. Escaping was useless, so he could only take it head-on. He pushed his hands forward and activated the Spiral Fire Shield. His body was suffused with golden light as he activated the 'Golden Sun Unbreakable Body'.
After the two flashes of light met in the air, sparks flew in all directions and ignited the vegetation on the hillside. From afar, it looked like a volcanic eruption, but the scale was much smaller.
At this moment, Yi Tian also knew that the opponent's move was so powerful. If he knew that the opponent's move was so powerful, he would have used the True Flame Armor. However, the spirit sword that was stuck in the Spiral Fire Shield was also not in a good condition. The front half of the sword was twisted into a fried dough twist after piercing through the Spiral Fire Shield.
After the Natal Spiritual Tool was damaged, Xiang Tiancheng immediately suffered a backlash. His Qi became chaotic and he spat out a mouthful of blood. However, he couldn't retreat now. Xiang Tiancheng activated his Qi and spat out the blood in his body. Then, he pointed at the sword orb and performed another technique.
Suddenly, the spirit sword that was stuck in the Spiral Fire Shield once again exerted force and slowly pierced in. Yi Tian was also frightened and broke out in cold sweat. Both of his hands exerted force and urged the Spiral Fire Shield to close.
Both sides turned into a competition of spirit power. Xiang Tiancheng was secretly pleased. In terms of cultivation, he was stronger than the opponent by a level, so his spirit power must be the same.
Although his Natal Spiritual Tool was destroyed this time, as long as he killed the opponent, he would be able to make up for it with his wealth as a Jin Dan cultivator.
After thinking about it, he increased the output of spirit power from his hands. The spirit sword heard the signal and advanced a bit more. At this moment, Xiang Tiancheng saw Yi Tian smile for no reason and was puzzled. Just as he was about to activate his Qi, he suddenly discovered that the spirit power in his body seemed to have opened a hole and was flowing out from his leg.
When he looked down, he was shocked. He didn't know when, but a few sprouts had grown out of the wound on his leg and were constantly absorbing spirit power from his body.
After three breaths of time, the sprouts grew into vines that were as thick as a thumb. The vines grew longer and longer until they covered his head. At the end of the vines, there was even a pink flower bud.
Not far away, Yi Tian finally let out a sigh of relief. Previously, he had mixed the Ghost Faced Flower's seed with the wood and was waiting for an opportunity to plant it on Xiang Tiancheng. However, he didn't expect the Jin Dan cultivator's defense to be so strong. The seed almost couldn't bloom.
Seeing that the sword orb in front of him had lost its support, Yi Tian used his left hand to cast a spell and pointed at the Ghost Faced Flower. Suddenly, the flower bud opened its fangs and bit Xiang Tiancheng's head.
Three days later, in Qingfeng City, the Zhang family's ancestor, Zhang Fengyuan, had changed his usual behavior. He was originally in seclusion, but now, he often walked around the family. His temper was very bad, and he would often scold the family members who were slacking off. This caused the servants to be subservient when they saw him, afraid that they would be scolded again.
That night, Zhang Fengyuan returned to his stone room and opened the door. His vision blurred and he found that the room was empty. He couldn't help but shout, "Who dares to play with this ancestor?"
At this moment, a mocking laugh came from the dark corner. "What ancestor? Fellow Zhang sure talks big. Who is stronger between you and Xiang Tiancheng?"
Before he finished speaking, the walls and floor of the room began to transform into thick vines that instantly wrapped around Zhang Fengyuan's body. Before he could open his mouth to speak, a cyan shadow flashed behind him and directly grabbed his throat, killing him in an instant.
Only five breaths of time had passed since Yi Tian entered the room to the moment he was killed. It was all thanks to the formation diagram of the Thousand Illusory Formation in Xiang Tiancheng's storage ring that Yi Tian was able to succeed in his sneak attack. This thing was definitely a waste in Xiang Tiancheng's hands, but Yi Tian used it very well.
After killing Zhang Fengyuan, Yi Tian originally only wanted to rob him and leave. However, after searching Zhang Fengyuan's soul, he discovered that there was some information about the Nimble Cave in his memories that was quite valuable.
Every twenty years, the three clans of Qingfeng City would join forces to explore the ruins in the Wasteland. Although the three clans acted in secret, they didn't know where they slipped up and the three sects found out. The next time they explored, the three sects would send people to participate. In the ruins, there was a spirit plant called the Mind Flower, which was very helpful for cultivators to temper their state of mind.
After forming his Gold Core and fighting three times, Yi Tian clearly felt that his cultivation had increased too quickly, but his mental state had been unable to break through. Now that there was such a good opportunity, Yi Tian was prepared to pluck a few Mind Flowers to temper his mental state.
Six hours later, the Zhang family's ancestor suddenly announced that he was going into seclusion. He would only come out two years later when the three families joined forces to explore. Immediately, the atmosphere in the Zhang family relaxed.
