Chapter 29: The Treasure of the Religion
Zhang Qian curled his lips and nodded, "That's right. The older you get, the more afraid you are of death. Those people finally achieved immortality, so maybe they won't participate in anything that's even slightly dangerous. Haha, with such a mentality, they still want to go further? You're just dreaming."
Hearing this, Li Qingque looked at Zhang Qian in surprise. After a while, he said unwillingly, "Who would have thought that Zhu Wuyi was so bold that he even brought the sect's treasure, the Shura Naihe Flag? The sect's treasure is different from ordinary magic weapons. It is a terrifying treasure that condenses the fortune of an ancient sect and blesses the sect's power. Now that Zhu Wuyi has the sect's treasure in his hand, he can contend against the mighty Yuanshen. Ordinary people are simply no match for him."
Having said this, Li Qingque shook his head.
"Then what should we do? Zhu Wuyi has acted so high-profile and now he has taken back the Nine Bends Yellow Spring Map. I don't think those powerful people in Xingyun State will just watch him leave like this."
"That's right. If Zhu Wuyi is allowed to leave Xingyun Province and return to Huangquan Demon Sect, our Xingyun Province cultivation world will immediately become a laughing stock. I think it won't be long before those powerful people will call out their sect's most precious treasures to besiege Zhu Wuyi."
Zhang Qian's eyes turned, "Senior sister's Gou Li Xuan Guang Mirror has quietly merged into the Nine Bends Yellow Spring Map. Following this guidance, we just need to quietly follow Zhu Wuyi and then make our own decision."
"We have no choice but to do this now. Shuitian hasn't shown up until now, and it's obvious that she has this in mind. She is quite patient."
Zhang Qian smiled slightly: "Senior sister should learn from her, Shui Tianyi is extremely smart."
"Humph!"
While the two were talking, Zhu Wuyi directly controlled the Shura Naihe Flag and fired several blood-red divine rays, which consumed all the power released by the Nine-Bend Yellow Spring Map. The Nine-Bend Yellow Spring Map had been submerged underground for hundreds of years and had accumulated terrifying power.
However, when it encountered the Shura Naihe Flag controlled by someone, it was no match. After a short while, its accumulated power was completely consumed and it had no power to resist anymore.
brush!
Zhu Wuyi grabbed the treasure map, which had turned into a three-foot long treasure map, lightly in his hand.
The Nine-Bend Yellow Spring Map is now ownerless. Even though Zhu Wuyi is a member of the Yellow Spring Demon Sect, he cannot control this treasure immediately. He can only suppress its vicious nature slightly, roll up the map and carry it on his back.
After putting away the treasure map, Zhu Wuyi smiled coldly and swept his eyes across, glancing at several hidden locations, among which was the location where Zhang Qian and Li Qingque were hiding.
"Hey, it seems he has discovered us."
Zhang Qian's heart moved. Zhu Wuyi's look just now was clearly a warning.
"It doesn't matter. What if he finds out? He is in a hurry to return to Huangquan Devil Sect now, so he won't cause any trouble."
Chi!
At this moment, Zhu Wu turned into a stream of light and flew towards the west at an incredible speed.
"Follow him!"
Li Qingque let out a low shout, and the scarlet divine sword materialized, rolling up a thick sword rainbow that wrapped himself and Zhang Qian as they broke through the stone chamber, following Zhu Wuyi in front from a distance.
After Li Qingque set off, a sword rainbow also flew out from the other direction of the capital. This sword rainbow was snow-white in color, noble and pure, yet contained a terrifying sharpness, and it also followed behind.
"Shui Tianyi!"
Li Qingque looked back and immediately knew that the person in the white sword rainbow was Shui Tianyi.
"When did Li Qingque become so calm? I thought she would act the same as before, but now..."
Shui Tianyi also recognized Jianhong in front of her. A playful smile appeared on her beautiful face, and the white Jianhong accelerated and caught up with Li Qingque in an instant.
"It's you!"
Li Qingque glared at Shui Tianyi and refused to give in. Jian Hong accelerated and shook off Shui Tianyi.
However, Shui Tianyi caught up with him very quickly. She said with a smile, "You can't get rid of me. You know that our Xinghai Divine Sword Pavilion's swordsmanship is known for its speed. If we only talk about sword speed, you are no match for me."
The swordsmanship of the Xinghai Divine Sword Pavilion is extremely strange. Almost all sword techniques require extreme speed. No matter whether it is sword energy or sword rainbow, once it is used, the speed is so fast that people cannot react.
It is rumored that the sword art of the Star Sea Divine Sword Pavilion has been cultivated to an extremely high level. When the sword rainbow appears, the speed is comparable to the light of the stars, which is terrifying. However, legends are just legends after all, and the sword art that can be cultivated to the speed of the starlight is extremely rare.
"Listen to me, how about you and I join forces?"
Hearing Shui Tianyi's proposal, Li Qingque frowned and snorted, "Are you so kind?"
"It seems that you still have some prejudice against me. Our Xinghai Divine Sword Pavilion is closely related to your Jianhu Palace. We once worked together to fight against the Huangquan Demon Sect in the war. Now Zhu Wuyi is so bold as to bring two treasures to Xingyun Province. How can we not join forces to fight the enemy?"
Li Qingque was about to respond, but unexpectedly, Zhu Wuyi, who was controlling the flowing light in front of him, suddenly flashed a blood-red divine light, and two slender blood-red crescents slashed towards this side fiercely.
"careful!"
Zhang Qian reminded hurriedly.
Li Qingque and Shui Tianyi seemed to have been prepared and shouted at the same time. Li Qingque protected Zhang Qian and shook the three-foot magic sword in his hand. Sword rainbows as thick as silk flew out one after another and hit the blood-red divine light.
Fortunately, this blood-red divine light was not launched by Zhu Wuyi with his full strength. With the crisp sound of tinkling, the silk sword rainbow finally broke up the slender divine light.
On the other side, Shui Tianyi directly threw out a snow-white and icy sword ball. As soon as the sword ball came out, it immediately burst out with shocking coldness, and Zhang Qian, who was far away, shivered because of the cold.
Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi...!
The sword ball spun around, and dense white sword energy shot out, mixed with unparalleled cold air, hitting the divine light that was chopping down at an astonishing speed.
Bang!
The divine light exploded directly. Zhu Wuyi in the front was slightly startled. He looked back and saw that the two sword rainbows behind him were still following him from a distance. He frowned, ignored them, and flew away at an even faster speed.
Just when Zhu Wuyi was anxious to return to Huangquan Demon Sect, the dozen Dharma-image masters had already sent a message back to their own sect, and the news that Zhu Wuyi was carrying two treasures of the sect alone spread at an incredible speed. Treasures of the sect were not easily seen, and Zhu Wuyi was carrying two of them alone, which was simply a piece of fat meat that everyone coveted.
Just two hours after Li Qingque and Shui Tianyi followed Zhu Wuyi, Zhu Wuyi was about to leave Xingyun Province and approach Huangquan Province, the sphere of influence of the Huangquan Demon Sect, when suddenly, the vast void changed in an instant.
"Stay!"
"Where to go!"
"Humph!"
Several shouts were heard from the void, and then no one appeared. A sword, a bell, a tripod, and a precious pearl suddenly appeared from the void.
The four treasures exude the same pressure as the Shura Naihe Flag, and are obviously the four most precious treasures of the sect.
Choking!
It was like an invisible, illusory long sword pointing in the distance, and with a slight shake, thousands of invisible sword beams shot out!
"Jiangang!"
Zhang Qian was taken aback. This was the first time he had seen sword light in this world. Although it could not compare with the sword light of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian in his previous life, it should not be underestimated.
Invisible sword beams covered Zhu Wuyi's head.
The bronze bell hummed, and visible sound ripples spread out. A strange stagnant force emanated, solidifying the void around Zhu Wuyi.
The bronze tripod slowly turned, carrying with it unparalleled divine power, breaking through the void and trying to smash Zhu Wuyi's body into pieces.
And finally, the gem burst into a dazzling purple divine light, like a huge purple sun, and purple divine fires shaped like Ganoderma lucidum transformed into huge waves of flames, rolling towards Zhu Wuyi.
Zhu Wuyi's face turned pale and he roared, "Despicable! You Xingyunzhou monks are really the same as before. You are still using traps to plot against me!"
The void around him was directly frozen by the divine bell, and every move he made became extremely slow. Facing the invisible sword light and the bronze tripod that was slamming towards him, he had almost no power to resist, not to mention that the divine fire erupted from the purple gem had already enveloped him from front to back and left to right.
brush!
Li Qingque and Shui Tianyi landed quickly.
"Junior brother, hide quickly!"
Shui Tianyi also gave instructions to his disciple Lan Youzhu, and then the two of them moved away, ready to take action at any time.
Zhang Qian glanced at Lan Youzhu beside him. The little girl pouted, gave Zhang Qian a blank look, and ignored him.
"Xiao Zhu'er, come with me."
Zhang Qian greeted him in a familiar manner and walked in another direction.
Lan Youzhu stamped his feet, hesitating for a while, then seeing that the terrifying power of the four treasures of the sect in the sky was spreading farther and farther, he hurried to catch up without caring about anything else.
"open!"
Seeing that Zhu Wuyi was about to die, at the critical moment, Zhu Wuyi shouted loudly, and used all his strength to activate the Shura Naihe Flag. The flag instantly became a hundred feet high, and the river under his feet turned blood red, rushing with a pungent bloody smell.
Rumble!
The blood-red river swept over and formed a blood-red lake. The lake expanded rapidly and formed a vast sea of blood in an instant!
A blood-red flag about a hundred feet high stood in the center of the sea of blood. The flag fluttered, and a strange Taoist rhyme emanated. Then three thousand six hundred blood-red whirlpools appeared in the turbulent sea of blood. These whirlpools were connected to each other, faintly forming a large blood sea formation.
Dangdangdangdang...!
The invisible sword beams in the sky hit the blood sea formation, making a sound of metal clashing, but failed to break the blood sea formation.
Boom!
The bronze tripod hit the formation hard, creating a deep dent in the blood sea formation. Cracks appeared around the dent, and it seemed that the blood sea formation would be broken in the next moment. However, as the three thousand six hundred whirlpools in the blood sea turned, these cracks immediately recovered.
As for the stagnant power of the divine bell, it no longer worked for Zhu Wuyi who was protected by the blood sea formation.
Only the divine flame blooming from the purple gem unexpectedly and fiercely burned the blood sea formation.
These purple divine flames seemed to have ignited the entire sea of blood. The entire blood sea formation was burning fiercely, and the entire formation began to malfunction.
"Look! That's the most precious treasure of our Xinghai Divine Sword Pavilion, the Xingdou Invisible Sword!"
Lan Youzhu suddenly pointed at the snow-white sword that was emitting invisible sword light and shouted with joy.
"Shut up! Hide yourself."
Zhang Qian shouted impatiently, but the girl didn't even bother to look at the situation and started yelling.
"Humph!"
After holding up the Blood Sea Formation, Zhu Wuyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, facing the siege of the four most precious treasures of the sect, the Blood Sea Formation could not withstand it and soon began to show signs of decline.
Not only did the invisible sword light pierce through the formation, but even the precious tripod knocked a big hole in the formation. The surging purple divine fire spread through the hole into the sea of blood, setting the entire sea of blood on fire.
