“Go!” Lu Xian gave a low shout.
In a flash of golden light.
The three figures instantly vanished from their original spot.
Roar!!
Soon after, outside the boat, a gigantic black lizard, tens of tis larger than the boat, flashed into view, its blood-red eyes glaring, and one claw thunderously smashed into the boat.
Boom!!
The boat exploded on the spot, turning into white fireballs along with the nearby winged people, shooting out in all directions.
Clearly, it was a step too late.
“It seems my arcane system really needs an update Agrius’s voice was low, with a faint hint of anger.
He wasn’t too worried about Yu Hong’s safety.
Because….
Several light hours away from the boat, sowhere in space.
A black-haired Taoist dressed in a snow-white Daoist robe was holding a white long sword, quietly watching Lu Xian and his companions who had just teleported over.
“Compared to the estimated ti, you are 0.7 seconds late.” Yu Xuezi said calmly, raising his wrist to check his watch.
“!?!!” Lu Xian’s eyes widened, the golden eyes of his future vision instantly contracting to two golden points, staring intently at the Taoist in the white robe before him.
He had just… completely failed to notice soone here!!
How is that possible!!?
His future vision is the highest-level solidified spell in the entire Floating City, even other Floating Cities have only imitations of its first layer, and only he…. due to his innate racial talent, further cultivated and strengthened to reach this level.
But now….
Lu Xian didn’t know why, but the mont he saw the man in the white robe before him, his heart pounded violently like a war drum, oppressive and stifling.
“What is the aning of stopping us!?” he suppressed his discomfort, speaking in a heavy tone.
“You are taking my disciple to repair sothing for you…. what do you think I am stopping you for?” Yu Xuezi replied coldly.
.” Lu Xian’s body trembled, instantly thinking of the always calm Yu Hong.
He glanced at Ku Chan and found that this guy was as shocked as he was, then his gaze fell on Yu Hong.
As expected. At this mont, Yu Hong had a calm expression, stepped forward a few paces, and bowed respectfully to the white-robed man opposite.
“Zheng Rou, greets Master.”
“You were quite fast, barely left the door and you triggered the mark I gave you. Is the outside really this dangerous now?” Yu Xuezi looked at Lu Xian and asked doubtfully.
“Not necessarily, it was just a coincidence.” Yu Hong said helplessly.
He had just arrived here, and was soon discovered by Lu Xiann with his future vision, and then was intercepted in space midway.
“This trouble was caused by him?” Yu Xuezi glanced at Lu Xian and asked.
“Indeed….” Yu Hong wanted to explain in detail.
But the next mont.
Buzz!
Golden light burst from the armor on Lu Xian’s body, innurable golden serpents emanating and converging in front of him, forming a three-ter long golden spear.
The tip of the spear faintly twisted and pierced through layers of space.
The aura from various spaces entwined around the spear’s shaft.
“Level Nine Arcane: Creation Spear.”
As soon as the intelligent spirit’s voice sounded, the spear trembled all over, a silver-white serpent coiling around its body.
The serpent’s red eyes lit up with a glow.
“Go!”
Lu Xian shouted.
Swoosh!!
The Creation Spear suddenly vanished, the next mont, it shot straight at Yu Xuezi, appearing and flashing at his forehead.
The tip of the golden spear pulsated with an aura of destruction, fiercely piercing Yu Xuezi’s forehead.
Poof.
Yu Xuezi’s whole body seed to be blown by a fierce wind, his Daoist robe flapping wildly.
His originally handso face now expanded rapidly, distorting, becoming hideously ferocious.
Exaggerated black muscle lines erged and grew all over his body, in an instant, his once thin figure inflated to a towering, terrifying, muscular figure over ten ters tall.
Hiss!
His black hair moved without wind, as if alive, breaking free from the hair tie, flowing behind him like countless black serpents, writhing and entangling.
The next mont, the golden spear at Yu Xuezi’s forehead cracked all over.
Shatter.
The golden spear shattered.
Countless golden fragnts scattered like raindrops, and at the mont of shattering, Yu Xuezi appeared before Lu Xian, his right hand imdiately grasping Lu Xian’s neck.
Hiss!!
Countless semi-transparent gray vitality surged out of Lu Xian’s body.
Ah!!
He shimred all over with golden light, trying to struggle, but all the golden light was forcibly suppressed by an invisible force field, unable to extend more than half a ter from his body.
“It’s been so long since I’ve absorbed such pure human vitality… Ah Yu Xuezi tilted his head back in pleasure, exhaling a long breath of dark air.
“Zheng Rou, rember, as a disciple of Qinghe Mountain, anyone who dares to strike at us is a demon. Transforming the vitality of demons into our own combat strength is the true intent behind the founding patriarch’s creation of our sect’s magic skills. We fight against the Star Disaster to purify it, and we must also shoulder the heavy responsibility of purifying the internal demons.” Yu Xuezi opened his mouth full of sharp black teeth, revealing a terrifyingly twisted gentle smile.
Yes Yu Hong felt a chill all over his body. Although Yu Xuezi did not target him, the naturally emitted terrifying radiation field still made his heart stiff, as if he were in a quagmire, making it difficult to think or move.
He had seen large opponents before and had never felt fear in battle.
But the abnormal state of his body and consciousness at this mont made him realize that this was clearly the result of his master’s naturally released substantial force field.
He watched as Lu Xian’s body rapidly thin in his master’s grip, seeing the vitality drain from him.
Yu Hong was about to speak out in persuasion.
“You… What are you…!!?” Lu Xian struggled, clutching the thick arm around his neck with all his strength.
Scattered golden mana flickered continuously on his body, but it couldn’t shake the arm’s terrifying grip.
“No need to kill him?” Yu Xuezi seed to understand Yu Hong’s thoughts. He slowly released his grip, allowing Lu Xian to float weakly away.
“It’s unnecessary. This person didn’t intend to harm the disciples initially.” Yu Hong replied.
He wasn’t one for unnecessary killing. Despite Lu Xian’s reckless and rude behavior, he hadn’t actually caused harm.
“Very well. My mark can only bring out this once. Clean up the aftermath and return quickly.” Yu Xuezi nodded and cast one last look at Lu Xian.
“Regardless, you forced to activate the mark and co out, so it won’t be a wasted trip.”
Swish!
With a flick of his fingers like a sword, Yu Xuezi severed Lu Xian’s right arm and held it in his hand.
“Consider this the interest.”
Silently, Lu Xian’s arm in Yu Xuezi’s hand quickly turned into gray vitality smoke, which he completely absorbed through his nose, dissipating entirely.
“Return soon.” Yu Xuezi left one final remark, his figure instantly contracted into a point, and in a flash, he vanished completely.
Only after he had completely left did Ku Chan dare to slowly relax his tense state.
He was drenched in sweat and his face was pale, clearly also frightened by Yu Xuezi just now.
“Don’t tell that was the teacher you later apprenticed to Ku Chan, calming himself, looked at Yu Hong with incredulous eyes.
“Teacher is usually not like this Yu Hong montarily fell silent and then offered a bitter smile in explanation. “He’s a very gentle and caring enlightened master.”
Gentle.” Ku Chan turned his head to look at Lu Xian, who was still groaning in pain.
Lu Xian had lost too much vitality, his skin now shriveled, his mana flickering, his face twisted, and he had lost an arm.
If not for the mysterious power within his magic wand struggling to sustain his life…
Even the vacuum environnt of space outside could have easily crushed him.
“Soone’s coming.” Yu Hong suddenly received a ssage from Agrius. “You need to leave. It’s best to avoid coming to Floating City again.”
“Boss… How are things on your side?” Yu Hong asked.
“Fine. Is that senior still around?” Agrius asked cautiously.
“He’s gone.” Yu Hong could hear the caution in Agrius’s voice. Clearly, the gap between Agrius and Master Yu Xuezi was significant. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so wary.
“That’s good Agrius visibly breathed a sigh of relief. “I don’t care what relationship you have with that person, but here’s a piece of advice… Try to keep that one from leaving Phoenix Eye!”
“Why?” Yu Hong frowned.
“Qinghe Mountain… That person was also wearing a Qinghe Mountain Daoist robe. Clearly, he’s a remnant master from the previous era. The faction’s composition is extrely complex. But regardless of the era, Qinghe Mountain has never had a good reputation. All historians refer to the era of Qinghe Mountain as the ‘Dark Star Period.’ You can have your companions look into the specifics, but that’s all you need to know. Qinghe Mountain has never been well-regarded in its ti or in any era since.”
Yu Hong wanted to argue, but recalling his master Yu Xuezi’s behavior just now, he fell silent.
At this mont, Ku Chan had already cast a spell to stop Lu Xian’s bleeding, temporarily protecting him and awaiting further rescue.
“You should go. I’ve inford the higher-ups in Floating City;
they’ll be here soon.” Ku Chan said in a low voice.
Yu Hong nodded and was about to teleport away, but then he saw Lu Xian, still in pain.
“Wait, I was coerced by this guy. Leaving just like that wouldn’t be fair.”
He looked at Ku Chan.
The latter looked back, confused.
“Don’t worry, I’m just going to exchange sothing with him.” A slight smile appeared on Yu Hong’s face.

Ten minutes later.
In the Black Black Spirit, outside the window, Wind Disaster Color Lines swirled fiercely.
Yu Hong sat inside the Cultivation Room, examining a pair of golden eyeballs in his hand, a satisfied smile on his face.
Before leaving, he had exchanged his enhanced pair of Outer Eyes with Lu Xian’s eyes.
Two eyes, that’s all. He believed the other party wouldn’t mind such a small loss.
After all, he had saved the other’s life from his master’s hand, not robbed him outright, just traded.
Putting on the Purple Extre Crown, Yu Hong activated the Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Skill to absorb the pupil power from the golden eyes.
This outing had been free of real danger, starting with Agrius secretly communicating with him.
The only unexpected mont was the instant when Master Yu Xuezi truly unleashed his power.
In that state, was he truly in the Immortal Realm of the Qingyuan Heavenly River Miao Technique?
Yu Hong beca lost in thought.
