Gliding through the void and walking on air, Jiang Li grasped Feng Manlou’s shoulder, hidden within the wind and rain, and flew several miles away, only to find that the rain showed no sign of letting up.
Moreover, a light kept flashing within Jiang Li’s embrace, an obscure force summoning clouds and gathering rain, causing the downpour to beco even more torrential.
Hearing what Feng Manlou had said, Jiang Li lowered the wind, and the two of them descended into the woods, taking shelter under a large tree. There, Jiang Li raised his True Qi as a protective barrier against the wind and rain.
Jiang Li took out the Rain Master Token from his sleeve. Like a jade pendant, the artifact’s brilliance flickered even more frequently, and the intensity of the rain increased once again.
"The Rain Master Token is the vessel for the Rain Master Tao Fruit. It is originally a Fourth Grade Daoist Artifact, and even without the Rain Master Tao Fruit inside, it remains a Fourth Grade Magical Artifact; otherwise, it could not serve as the core of the divine statue," explained Feng Manlou, looking at the token in Jiang Li’s hand.
"In the token, there must be a sliver of the divine sense from that Primordial Lord Rain Master of the Taiping Sect. She must’ve sensed the destruction of the statue and decisively used the collected faith to trigger the power of the token, moving as much as she could," Feng Manlou said.
Jiang Li frowned and asked, "How do we solve this?"
"Simple, destroy her Divine Sense," Feng Manlou first offered a straightforward solution, but then he shook his head. "If we were in a safe realm, I could set up a Magic Ceremony to force her Divine Sense out, and then have you refine it with Innate Qi. But we’re currently fleeing and don’t have such leisure."
"You can’t do it either?" Jiang Li disbelieved.
Feng Manlou gave a bitter smile, "My dear brother, perhaps you misunderstand . I indeed have concealed so truths, but the realm I am currently in is genuine; otherwise, do you think the powerhouses in Divine Capital wouldn’t have noticed?"
Feng Manlou also noticed Jiang Li’s probing, so he laid everything out clearly, hoping to prevent further testing.
This ti he was involved in a Sixth Rank battle. If soday Jiang Li faced a Fifth Rank and called out, "Where are the Powerful Warriors?" Feng Manlou would have to use the trump card his wife had given him, or else he’d have to flee with Jiang Li.
’The current realm, huh...’ Jiang Li paid attention to these words and was sure in his mind that Feng Manlou’s strength was deeply unfathomable.
At the sa ti, he also chose to believe him.
Because Feng Manlou was a rebel, completely disloyal to Great Zhou; he had the audacity to infiltrate the Royal Family’s domain, ensuring he wouldn’t be discovered and that every aspect of his disguise was perfect.
In Divine Capital, there was the Emperor, and even the temporarily residing Sect Leader, along with a host of fourth-ranks.
Unless Feng Manlou’s strength surpassed that of the Emperor, he would need to rely on certain special thods to hide.
"Given this, then I’ll no longer pretend to be a noble gentleman," Jiang Li suddenly said.
Feng Manlou: "?"
Jiang Li placed the Rain Master Token near his collar, pretending to tuck it inside his clothing against his skin. He thought again, then shook his head. "No, what if the token bursts and injures ? Better bury it in a pit of dung. Also, I’ve heard black dog blood can exorcise evil; that might be worth a try."
The Rain Master Token flashed frantically, and suddenly a burst of golden light erupted.
"It works!"
The token flew out of his hand but was caught by a Dragon Claw appearing out of thin air. Innate Qi surged from Jiang Li’s hand, wrapping the golden light; as Primordial Qi clashed, he frantically refined it.
From the mont Jiang Li realized that the Rain Master Divine Statue required a woman to carve it, he detected the Rain Master Primordial Lord’s obsession with spiritual cleanliness and imdiately thought of anti-Rain Master tactics.
Unexpectedly, these tactics proved effective now.
All of the Rain Master Primordial Lord’s statues had to be carved by won, revealing her profound taboo against n. Under such circumstances, Jiang Li decided to let this sliver of Divine Sense get as close as skin with him or even threatened to toss it into a dung pit—how could the Rain Master Primordial Lord’s Divine Sense endure such an affront?
Consequently, the Divine Sense surfaced, attempting to escape, but Jiang Li forcibly seized it and took the opportunity to refine it.
He didn’t mind the filth on the ground and imdiately sat down cross-legged. Innate Qi wrapped around the talisman in layers, seizing that thread of Qi chanism and perating it to assimilate from within.
The standoff between the two sides was deadlocked, with golden light appearing on the Rain Master talisman at tis, and at other tis it turned to pure white. Innate Qi was abundant, tugging back and forth.
But as ti passed, Innate Qi gradually gained the upper hand.
It had Jiang Li constantly replenishing it, and could also refine the talisman’s inner strength for his own use, which was like fighting with two weapons at once. In contrast, the Rain Master’s Divine Sense within the talisman was not only exerting the talisman’s ability to control clouds and rain but also contending with Jiang Li.
Under this ebb and flow, the Rain Master’s Divine Sense couldn’t hold on first. After all, it was just a wisp of divine consciousness.
At this mont, a streak of golden light shot from behind Jiang Li, forming a large hand that struck directly at his back...
"Ha."
As the Jade Ruyi exerted its power, Jiang Li laughed out loud and his form abruptly shifted sideways, evading the golden light’s large hand, a strange gleam appearing in his eyes.
"Yin Talisman Seven Skills·Real Intent Technique Te Snake."
The Te Snake spiraled into the air. The substantial force transford by divine thought collided with the golden light’s large hand, suddenly repelling it by three feet.
anwhile, Feng Manlou sprang out like a cannonball, bent his arm around a large tree, and uprooted it from the ground, swinging it towards the direction of the incoming golden light like a battering ram.
He still wore the Nuo Mask, appearing before others as a Yellow Turban Warrior. However, this instant of uprooting a tree was not rely brute force but an extrely clever application of strength.
This showed that Feng Manlou himself was also a cultivator of the martial arts, with a physical body that was not weak.
In this case, there was no need to worry that the Princess would break Feng Manlou’s waist with a single exertion during their private monts.
The distance of twenty feet was crossed in an instant. The tree trunk slamd violently into an empty space, where the air quivered, and the figure of a Daoist materialized from the rippling Qi chanism, bursting forth with strong golden light, blocking the tree trunk.
"Heaven and earth’s profound origin, the foundation of all Qi.
Cultivating through countless calamities, to manifest my divine powers."
Daoist Ming Zhen shouted loudly, cloaking himself in protection with one of the Three Pure Ones Sect’s Eight Great Divine Mantras, the "Golden Light Spell", as the trunk, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, crashed onto it and quickly shattered into countless splinters.
At the sa ti, a talisman was already in hand, "Thunder and Fire..."
Before the spell could be completed, Feng Manlou swung the tree trunk. His towering figure emitted a wild aura, bringing down the trunk with the forcefulness and heaviness akin to moving mountains and seas...No, it was more of a cleave.
It was a cleave with an imposing manner as if cleaving the very heavens.
"Gan Qi Dance!"
Daoist Ming Zhen revealed a hint of disbelief, "Who are you?"
The response was a matchless great strength slamming into the golden light.
"Boom!"
The tree trunk completely exploded, and the golden light also went into frenzied turbulence.
The ground under Daoist Ming Zhen’s feet was indented by the pressure of the golden light. He hurriedly shot out two talismans, "Thunder and fire converge, to slash demons and extinguish evils."
Thunder suddenly appeared, and true fire surged forth. Thunder and flas simultaneously bombarded Feng Manlou, and in a flash, lightning streaked in all directions, and flas surged.
The body of the Yellow Turban Warrior was instantly blown apart, and his tall figure suddenly transford into a Nuo Mask in mid-air, which then fragnted. Feng Manlou, on the other hand, quickly retreated, shedding his outer shell like a golden cicada escaping from thunder and fire.
At this mont, a great wind suddenly arose in the forest, and Jiang Li moved across the sky to arrive.
