Chapter 327: Pursuit
Chapter 327: Pursuit
Translator: Cinder Translations
The stone cushion that Song Wen rushed toward was one he had carefully selected.
This stone cushion was the closest to him, and only guarded by a male cultivator from the Profound Heaven Sword Sect and a female cultivator from the He Huan Sect.
Both of them were at the late stage of foundation building.
They were among the weakest defenses of all the stone cushions.
Before Song Wen arrived, a three-meter-high treasure pagoda, radiating a mysterious yellow light, descended from the sky, crashing down toward the two.
It was the top-grade defensive spirit tool, the Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda.
The two were shocked by Song Wen's speed but did not lose their composure.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The male cultivator from the Profound Heaven Sword Sect activated his flying sword to confront the descending pagoda.
The female cultivator from the He Huan Sect seized the opportunity to activate her jade vial and began collecting the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid.
A cold gleam flashed, slashing toward the female cultivator.
It was the Cold Moon Blade!
Although Song Wen had a more powerful attacking spirit tool-the Soul Cleaving Blade.
Both the Soul Cleaving Blade and the Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda were top-grade spirit tools, and with Song Wen's late-stage foundation-building cultivation, it was already a significant strain to activate the Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda.
It was nearly impossible to activate two top-grade spirit tools simultaneously.
The female cultivator summoned a red ribbon, easily blocking the Cold Moon Blade.
However, her action of collecting the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid was momentarily delayed.
In that brief moment, Song Wen had already approached the stone bowl and was controlling a jade vial from afar, beginning to absorb the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid.
"Ding!"
The male cultivator's flying sword struck the lower edge of the Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda.
The flying sword was deflected away.
The Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda slowed down slightly but continued to crash down toward the two.
Realizing the pagoda's extraordinary nature, the male cultivator did not hesitate to retreat.
Instead, the female cultivator, who was intent on collecting the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid, was directly struck by the pagoda and trapped inside.
After the Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda trapped the enemy, it had its own means to eliminate foes.
But at that moment, Song Wen had no intention of splitting his focus to kill the female cultivator.
He fully focused on activating the jade vial to absorb the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid.
The ten-thousand-year spirit liquid contained pure spiritual energy, and the time it took to collect was significantly longer than Song Wen had anticipated.
It took him about ten breaths (20 Seconds) of time to completely gather the ten-thousand- year spirit liquid into the jade vial.
At this time,
Apart from Lei Yuhua, everyone else had also gathered the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid into their jade vials.
When these people saw Song Wen suddenly charge in and seize a portion of the ten- thousand-year spirit liquid, they were all greatly shocked.
The members of the He Huan Sect and the Profound Heaven Sword Sect were immediately enraged and urged their spirit tools to strike at Song Wen.
Song Wen could not afford to concern himself with the female cultivator still trapped under the pagoda.
He raised his hand and summoned the Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda, which flew into the air and hovered above his head.
The pagoda emitted a mysterious yellow light, firmly protecting Song Wen.
In that instant, Song Wen activated the Thunder Escape Technique, transforming into a bolt
of lightning and darting toward the exit of the great hall.
Due to the suppression of spiritual awareness in the secret realm, the attacks of the others were difficult to execute freely.
Relying on the Thunder Escape Technique, Song Wen evaded most of the attacks.
He also withstood two attacks thanks to the power of the Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda, breaking through the main entrance.
With Song Wen having taken the Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda, the female cultivator trapped inside was naturally freed. She stared at Song Wen's retreating figure with lingering
fear.
Also watching Song Wen leave was Lei Yuhua.
The speed demonstrated by Song Wen while using the Thunder Escape Technique astonished
him.
Could there really be cultivators outside the Lei family who had trained the Thunder Escape
Technique to such a degree?
Just how high was this person's lightning talent?
As Song Wen left, Lei Yuhua became the target of everyone's ire.
After Song Wen had escaped from the great hall, he had just managed to collect the ten- thousand-year spirit liquid.
He could no longer afford to think about Song Wen's lightning talent; using the Thunder
Escape Technique, he darted toward the great hall's exit.
Feng Qi was also escaping through the great hall's exit at the same time.
The Flame Light Cauldron broke free from the restraints of the "Earth Fire Chains" and
spewed out a large amount of blue flames, scorching toward Feng Qi.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Feng Qi decisively gave up on competing for the ten- thousand-year spirit liquid and chose to retreat.
Rong Jingyun, filled with murderous intent, stared at Feng Qi's back and said to the person
beside her, Heng Cheng.
"Let's go!"
Inside the great hall, the Profound Heaven Sword Sect and the He Huan Sect formed one
power, while the Mixed Yuan Temple was another.
These two factions possessed the strongest power, capable of crushing anyone else.
If she continued to stay here, she couldn't guarantee that no one would have ill intentions
toward her.
At this moment, the great hall was in extreme chaos, making it the best opportunity to
escape.
Xue Gu and Mu Yunxin were pursuing Lei Yuhua.
Ji Ruxue was surrounded by nine flying swords, guarding against the three monks from the
Mixed Yuan Temple alongside several disciples from the Profound Heaven Sword Sect and the
He Huan Sect.
Jie Hui ignored Ji Ruxue, instead watching Rong Jingyun and Heng Cheng's retreating figures
with a peaceful smile.
"Why are you two so anxious? I implore you to hand over the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid
as an offering to our Buddha."
Jie Wu transformed into a golden giant and stepped forward, charging toward Rong Jingyun
and Heng Cheng.
Jie Hui and Jie Se each stood on a lotus platform, also pursuing them.
"You two, your attachment is just greed, and greed is an evil thought. You have been invaded
by evil spirits, so let this poor monk guide you to salvation."
Rong Jingyun's speed was not slow, so she didn't have to worry about being caught by the
three.
However, Heng Cheng's speed was slightly lacking.
The distance between the three and Heng Cheng was rapidly closing.
Rong Jingyun glanced back at Jie Hui, whose face was filled with benevolence, gritting her
teeth and lightly shouting.
"Go!"
A surge of blue flames suddenly erupted from the Flame Light Cauldron, which had been
protecting Rong Jingyun and Heng Cheng.
The blue flames rapidly spread, blocking the path of the three monks.
"Just a mere spirit flame," Jie Hui scoffed.
However, he slowed down, not daring to let the blue flames touch him.
Jie Hui opened his mouth wide.
A large amount of black, foul gas surged from his mouth.
The foul gas was like the stench of a latrine, unpleasant to smell.
It was also as if evil spirits had descended, filled with ominousness and disaster.
And like the presence of asuras in the world, it was filled with bloody violence and chaotic
bloodlust.
This was a foul gas, a mixture of corpse poison, ghostly energy, blood evil energy, and other impurities of the world.
The Earth Core Refining Flame contained a trace of the righteous energy of heaven and earth,
which could restrain evil entities.
However, the large amount of foul gas surged toward the rootless Earth Core Refining Flame,
making it seem a bit overwhelmed.
Wherever the foul gas passed, the blue flames quickly extinguished.
Once the blue flames were completely extinguished, Jie Hui inhaled deeply.
Like a whale swallowing, the nauseating foul gas was sucked back into Jie Hui's stomach, not
knowing where it was stored within him.
Jie Hui and the others continued to soar through the air, pursuing Rong Jingyun and Heng
Cheng.
As the chase continued, the five quickly flew out of the rocky mountain area.
Heng Cheng turned back, looking at the three evil monks who were getting closer and closer,
his eyes flashing with determination.
Suddenly, his escape speed dropped sharply.
A powerful wood-type spiritual force rose around him.
Heng Cheng turned to face the pursuing trio, his expression calm as he focused on them.
He continually formed hand seals, and the wood-type spiritual force rippling around him
grew even more immense.
