At this mont, the joy he felt wasn't just about successfully escaping from the Sword Array, but also the anticipation of gaining another Magical Treasure, which he simply couldn't suppress.
If he owned the Boundless Banner, wouldn't the Magical Treasures collected inside it also be his?
The umbrella that unleashed flying swords had already been taken by the Boundless Banner. Now, if he could also collect these flying swords, wouldn't the entire set of flying sword Magical Treasures be his?
Before, in order to kill Wu Shanshan, he was even prepared to sacrifice the Immortal Strangling Silk. As a result, Wu Shanshan wasn't killed, the Immortal Strangling Silk was preserved, and he managed to conveniently snatch a few Magical Treasures.
The Six Paths Golden Wheel in Youu Mu's hands also seed formidable. Ultimately, it should end up in his possession.
Adding it all up, he felt like he won big ti and suddenly felt that Wu Shanshan escaping might not be such a bad thing. If Wu Shanshan had been killed by him in one blow from the start, how could he have acquired so many treasures?
Suddenly, it didn't seem that annoying that Wu Shanshan got away.
With his mind eased, he felt it didn't matter if people ran away. At worst, he would just have to work harder, be pursued everywhere, and collect such a hefty reward. It was worth being exhausted like a dog.
Just one Magical Treasure would be enough for him to live a high-quality life in the Cultivation World, and now how many did he have?
When he was in the Land of Exile, he imagined eventually making a fortune outside, but he never thought he'd beco this wealthy in such a short ti. The trip to the Divine Fire Domain was truly worthwhile, seeking wealth amidst danger indeed rings true.
If all these Magical Treasures are claid, he felt he could even rebel against the Heavenly Court.
Is there still a need to fear Wu Shanshan?
With the Boundless Banner in position, he's about to jump in front of all the sects and provokes them. Who would dare?
To say the least, it should be Wu Shanshan running around like a stray now.
With the sudden upheaval, how could he not be pleased? If not for needing to keep Xu and Youu at bay to snatch their treasures later, let alone beam with joy, he would almost burst with manic laughter looking up to the sky.
He promptly slipped through the gap in the Sword Array, stepping on a flying sword firmly placed there, and chuckled like Wu Jinliang, pointing at the Sword Array before him and the bowl-shaped Sword Array below, "Collect them, collect them for , they are all mine."
Xu Anzhang couldn't help but glance toward the various sects, still reminded, "Brother Chun, are you sure they will just sit by while we snatch their treasures? Shouldn't we just get out of here quickly?"
Shi Chun pointed at him, really at a loss for words at how to describe these people, whether from the Demon Path or the Righteous Path, whether Xu Anzhang or Gu Lianni, why are they all so timid, unable to even bite the at that's reached their mouth, then what's the use of snatching?
Reasoning wouldn't work, and it wasn't the ti for reasoning, so he straightforwardly bluffed, "I know what I'm doing, those above have instructed differently, just cooperate and follow through."
Alright, since he directly said it's the higher-ups' instructions, what else could Xu Anzhang say? He could only verify after they got out, promptly casting a spell to wave the flag, and wherever it swept, the settled flying swords disappeared one by one.
Clearing the air, the three of them also flew toward the ground, with Xu Anzhang continuing to shake the banner and remove the bowl-shaped Sword Array that had been stabbed into chaos.
Alerted by Li Hongjiu's words to Yin Tianlu about the surroundings, he beca sowhat anxious upon witnessing this scene. It was clear they intended to take his Magical Treasures, and he imdiately pointed angrily, yelling, "How dare the re Four Cauldron Sect act presumptuously!"
Xu Anzhang looked back.
Shi Chun urged him from the side, "Ignore him, continue."
Adding in his mind, if you're capable, throw over more treasures.
He wasn't in any rush now, showing no intention of fleeing.
Gu Lianni was speechless, in disbelief, not expecting Shi Chun to have a hidden trump card, didn't expect that the Four Cauldron Sect, which she disregarded and occasionally dangled around Shi Chun, was the biggest secret in Shi Chun's arsenal, no wonder he dared to recklessly act alone, turns out he was prepared.
The top individual of the Sky Rain teor Conference, she underestimated him after all.
Yuan Yao exchanging bitter smiles with Pang Hou conveyed the aning that Pang Hou understood; had they known he had this capability, they would have proceeded as agreed, but now Shudao Mountain's side had beco unreliable even to this extent, fearing they would miss out on the benefits to co.
Yet, for them, it wasn't entirely a bad thing, at least the secret of finding the Divine Fire Secret Technique was temporarily known only to them at Shudao Mountain, and being able to thereby interrupt the sects' pursuit of Shi Chun was also a good thing.
Hiding in the distance, covering her severed arm, Wu Shanshan wept in grief, her tears being carried away by the wind.
Gong Shixi in the crowd watched Shi Chun and the others picking up treasures, his expression extrely serious, feeling the situation was troubleso, trying to stop Shi Chun's victory seed too difficult.
He also noticed Zuo Zisheng and others looking around with no idea what they were watching foolishly, so he followed suit, glancing around, and suddenly, his pupils constricted drastically.
The horizon in a particular direction suddenly brightened.
Not just one place, other directions also seed to brighten one by one, the surrounding horizons seed to all light up.
Yet it wasn't the normal daylight kind of brightness, the difference in color, a riotous hue that felt like a sudden burst of brightness lighting up this part of the sky.
This was glaringly wrong, the assembled sects were imdiately a bit suspicious, and voices started buzzing.
"Master Uncle." Guang Haoyou stuck his head out from behind Li Hongjiu, speaking with an exploratory tone.
He had heard it before, before the surroundings showed unusual signs, when no one else had yet discovered anything, this Little Master Uncle had warned beforehand, saying trouble was coming.
He naturally wanted to know what kind of trouble the Little Master Uncle referred to, so he could be prepared.
When he stuck his head out, he noticed the Master Uncle maintained a chopping finger gesture in front of him all along, a slight aura swirled at the fingertips, continuously blending into the Four Emptiness.
Li Hongjiu tilted his head and glanced at him, returning with a light smile, "At ease."
Guang Haoyou understood, which ant there was nothing to worry about, then taking a look at the Master Uncle's chopping finger gesture, indeed, he felt at ease.
He had previously witnessed the trendous power of shifting mountains with a single finger from this Little Master Uncle, so since the Master Uncle was prepared, he too felt reassured, retracting his head back, he imdiately turned around and gestured to his peers, pointing at Li Hongjiu, signaling everyone to rest easy, no need to fear with the Master Uncle here.
Yet he soon couldn't remain calm.
It couldn't be helped; the surrounding montum was truly overwhelming.
On the ground, in the sky, various luminous beasts, forming a mighty army, were all heading this way, moreover, they were closing in from all directions.
So were emitting green flas, so red flas, and so golden flas—a complete range of colors.
So were as massive as small mountains, so serpentine as pythons or dragons, so charging like tigers, so multi-legged like octopuses, so with wings spanning like mantises, so fluttering like eagles, a multitude of creatures resembling those things, yet not quite.
The rumbling scene, the dazzling formation, was truly terrifying, anyway, they all sward here, heading toward where the sects gathered.
There were also many creatures that did not emit light.
Why they suddenly gathered around was not hard to guess, likely the commotion from earlier fights had stirred the creatures in the Forbidden Land.
A peculiar underground bat had already caused heavy casualties; with this montum, who would dare be careless?
Especially Yin Tianlu, who turned his head to glance at Li Hongjiu's skill holding gesture, wanting to yell at him, is this your idea of assurance?
He almost fell for his trick; he imdiately flashed to join his disciples in the Extre Fire Sect, signaling them to leave.
Zuo Zisheng, Gu Lianni, and others were no exception, no one wanted to take on the situation hard-headedly. Not knowing the severity of the situation, first avoiding seed the prudent course.
Shi Chun had noticed earlier, from up high he had seen so anomaly, but it didn't matter, as long as the sects didn't entangle him, he felt confident he could escape leisurely, so he continued to let Xu Anzhang collect those flying swords first.
Finally, after the flying swords were cleared away, witnessing the dreadful threatening presence closing in, he brought out the Wind Scale.
Upon noticing, Guang Haoyou pointed and shouted, "Master Uncle, they're about to flee!"
A group of Yanbao Sect disciples had already gathered urgently behind Li Hongjiu; at this mont, sticking close to their Master Uncle felt more secure.
Li Hongjiu noticed it, closely following the movents of that masked man, fully aware of the man's every action. A mild and bright smile appeared on his face as he spoke, "Cultivation seeks self-perfection, Artifact Refining seeks Spiritual Objects; man is self, objects are external, whether self-cultivation or seeking external things, a single pursuit doesn't differentiate between good or bad, unable to transcend, ultimately leads to seeking. No need to covet everything, see clearly what you can get today."
After speaking, he slightly exerted force and pronounced, "Hurry!"
As if it was an incantation, or the power of words imdiately effectuated.
In an instant, it was as if the world's color changed, leaving a group of Yanbao Sect disciples to look around in fright.
Across the surroundings, wind pillars with a faint electric arc at the top suddenly beca violent; their rotational speed twisted to a frightening level, their form turning ferocious and distinct, as if the howling sound wanted to tear one's eardrums apart.
People on the ground, if not forcefully casting spells to stabilize themselves, would definitely be swept away.
The Wind Scale, enveloping Shi Chun, Xu Anzhang, and Youu Mu, suddenly wavered, alarming the trio as they looked around bewildered, not knowing what was going on. Why had the winds in the wind nest suddenly turned so monstrous?
The wind power was absurdly strong; the scales of the Wind Scale, each influenced by a strange force, couldn't gain speed, couldn't form, couldn't fly, couldn't carry anyone, couldn't fly at all.
If not stored quickly, the scales of the Wind Scale might cut their own people.
Shi Chun hurriedly put away the Wind Scale and landed, observing the surroundings while taking out the Black Lotus Magical Treasure. With this turbulent wind extending its reach vastly, he assud even if Wu Shanshan was still hiding in this area, she would pay him no attention.
Preparing to ride the fifth-grade Magical Treasure to escape, with the strength of a fifth-grade Magical Treasure, should be able to quickly escape. Otherwise, they might fall into the clutches of the surrounding incoming creatures, and who knows what those creatures were, the Fire Bat was dangerous enough already.
Creatures rushing in, weaker ones were already swept up by the strong winds, fluttering in the wind, the light streaks chaotically but pleasingly, while more creatures kept pressing forward amidst the gales.
Those who wished to ride the Wind Scale to flee weren't limited to Shi Chun and his team, other sects equally attempted, only to face the sa result, neither succeeded in escaping smoothly and beca embroiled in the tumult created by the incoming creatures.
The sole serene remainers in the wind were the Yanbao Sect group.
Once more, Guang Haoyou pointed at Shi Chun and shouted, "Master Uncle, they are riding a Magical Treasure to flee!"
This was simply redundant; Li Hongjiu's gaze almost never left that masked man, he was waiting, watching Shi Chun's escape attempt.
Upon the Black Lotus Dharma Aspect unfolding and carrying Shi Chun's trio with overbearing montum skyward, Li Hongjiu flicked his finger pointed in the wind, tossing it towards the Black Lotus Dharma Aspect, intoning as if invoking truth, "Strike!"
The electric arcing at the top of several wind columns suddenly surged as nurous luminous serpents and dragons raced and twisted, each gleaming brightly, rging constantly, then transforming into bolts of lightning, striking the Black Lotus Dharma Aspect.
Bang!
One bolt sent the Black Lotus Dharma Aspect into a temporary halt.
The second bolt seed to stun the Dharma Aspect further.
Then bolts three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten struck consecutively in rapid succession, each resonating thunderously, questioning them if they wouldn't descend, compelling their return.
