CHAPTER 201 - DISCUSSION ACTION

Wan An City, Tian Xiang Inn.

Fang Yi and Zhang Xun sat facing each other, and the atmosphere was quite tense.

After Zhang Xun left the mountain, Fang Yi pulled him to a room in the Fragrant Sky Inn. Every room in the Tian Xiang Inn had a soundproofing array, making it very suitable for conversation.

From Zhang Xun, Fang Yi finally understood a lot of things that had happened in the past five years. However, he wasn't too interested in these things. Now, his mind was completely focused on Fang Zhen's matters.

If it wasn't for Fang Zhen raising him, he wouldn't be where he was now. Therefore, when he learned of Fang Zhen's news, Fang Yi's emotions also became a bit agitated.

If the Talisman Immortal School doesn't know that senior Fang Zhen is their master, then according to my conjecture, even if this is a scam or trap, it should be aimed at a Foundation Establishment expert. Zhang Xun analyzed.

What do you mean? Fang Yi raised his head to look at Zhang Xun. He knew that Zhang Xun wouldn't lie to him, but he was somewhat surprised by Zhang Xun's words.

According to Master, those who were chasing after Senior Fang Zhen probably knew that he had an accomplice, but his strength was not very high. Even after so many years had passed, they were still no match for Senior Fang Zhen. Zhang Xun said.

Fang Yi nodded. Zhang Xun's analysis was very reasonable, but he was too nervous that he forgot about this fundamental principle.

Previously, when he and his grandfather were both released to be hunted down, his cultivation level was only at the Qi Condensation stage. According to common sense, it wasn't easy for his current strength to match up to them.

The calmer Fang Yi's thoughts gradually became clearer. If that's the case, then even if they did set up a formation, the target would still be a Foundation Establishment expert. And among those ambushers, the one with the highest strength should be that Golden Core Stage Protector called Wei Cheng, right?

Zhang Xun nodded and said, Master is wise, that's how it is. Moreover, because of the matter of the Ghost World Seal being broken, the eight sects are now in a terrible situation. Naturally, they wouldn't care about such a small matter.

Fang Yi nodded slightly when he heard this and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

The place where senior Fang Zhen is being held is near the Talisman Immortal School. The terrain there is complex, and there are many types of vegetation. It's a good place for an ambush. The most important thing is that the Talisman Immortal School is not far from here. If they were to seek help, it is possible that an expert from the Talisman Immortal Sect would arrive within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Therefore, we need to consider this carefully. Zhang Xun said again.

Fang Yi nodded. Don't send any of your disciples out to save grandfather. The fewer people there are, the better. Therefore, I have already decided on the candidate. At the latest, two days later, we will move out.

Yes. Zhang Xun said respectfully.

After Zhang Xun left the Tian Xiang Inn, he sent his disciples to understand the environment of Baling Mountains in the name of experiential learning.

After Zhang Xun left, Fang Yi thought for a moment. He then picked up the sound transmitting talisman and recorded his words in it with his spiritual energy. Then, with a pinch, the sound transmitting talisman shattered and a ray of light flew out.

Senior Fang Zhen is Fang Yi's grandfather. Since Fang Yi has returned, if he knew about this, he would definitely go and save Senior Fang Zhen. Therefore, I decided to help him out. Mu Linger looked at Xiao Pang and said solemnly.

Since he's Fang Yi's grandfather, then I naturally have no choice but to go as well. However, if we were to rashly go and be discovered by others, it might affect the reputation of the sect. We will have to consider this further. Xiao Pang said.

Mu Linger tactfully nodded her head when she heard this. Then let's make some preparations and go lurk in the Baling Mountains for the next two days. We can help out when Fang Yi makes his move.

The next day, when Zhang Xun returned to the Tian Xiang Inn after exploring the area, he discovered that there was an extra male and female Aurous Core stage expert by Fang Yi's side!

Lady Chen Xin? Zhang Xun looked at the woman and said with a surprised expression.

Even though it had been many years, he still couldn't forget about Chen Xin. Back then, she had relied on her early Foundation Establishment cultivation to kill his fellow disciples together with Fang Yi and then forced him to give up his soul blood.

What he did not expect was that Chen Xin had already broken through to the Aurous Core stage, and that her cultivation was the highest among them, reaching the middle phase of the Aurous Core stage.

Chen Xin nodded with a smile, then pointed at the man beside her. This is the Elder from the Immortal Farmer Sect, Hua Chenfei. "

When Fang Yi saw Zhang Xun's somewhat surprised expression, a hint of joy involuntarily appeared on his face.

Yesterday, he had sent for Chen Xin with a sound transmitting talisman. However, when he saw that both Chen Xin and Hua Chenfei had reached the Aurous Core stage, he was as astonished as Zhang Xun was now.

According to Chen Xin, Liu Jie had now reached the early Aurous Core stage, and Mo Hong and Ding Rong had also reached the late Foundation Establishment stage. The Immortal Farmer Sect had now grown to become a medium-sized sect.

Fang Yi was incomparably gratified by all of this. He knew that what he hoped for the most was for the Immortal Farmer Sect to regain their former glory. Now, everything was moving in the direction that he wanted them to go.

Zhang Xun, did you find anything? Fang Yi asked.

When Zhang Xun heard this, he quickly said, I asked the disciples within the sect to investigate the environment of Baling Mountains using the name of experiential learning, but they were unable to find any trace of us. Only two Qi Condensation disciples of the Talisman Immortal Sect are standing outside the cave.

The Talisman Immortal Sect specializes in talisman techniques. Although they don't appear to be very strict on the surface, they must have a Golden Core protector guarding the cave. It would be extremely easy for them to set up a talisman formation. If they are trapped inside, even if we are stronger than them, we might not be able to rescue senior.

At this time, Hua Chen Fei said, Why don't you let me use the poisonous fog and rush into the cave when it's not prepared, and then save the seniors below?

Fang Yi shook his head. Leave the cave to me. The three of you have more important things to do.

What is it? Chen Xin asked doubtfully.

To block the helpers from the Talisman Immortal School is the most important and most difficult. The Diao Ling Mountains were not far from the Talisman Immortal School. If they received a notification, they would be there in less than an incense's time. Therefore, all you have to do is stop those experts from the Talisman Immortal Sect and try to buy as much time as possible. Fang Yi said in a low voice.

When everyone heard this, they could not help but fall silent.

Compared to the potential danger inside the cave, those talisman Immortal Sect experts were more difficult to deal with. If they were unable to stop them and delayed for time, then Fang Yi would fall into a trap.

I will do my best to stop those who have come. Zhang Xun was the first to speak.

Leave it to us. Cheng Xin and Hua Chenfei also nodded.

Grandfather, wait for Xiaoyi. This time, I will make those people who have chased you before pay the price they deserve!

CHAPTER 202 - CONFLUENCE

The Bugling Mountains were located not too far away from Mount Gouhe. This place was filled with trees and dense vegetation. The deeper one went in, the more dangerous it was. Demonic beasts ran rampant inside, and there were quite a few Rank 5 and Rank 6 beasts.

However, compared to the danger in the depths, there weren't even any demonic beasts in the outskirts of the Baling Mountains, making it a rather strange place in the Divine Great Land. It was said that the spiritual veins in the outskirts of the Baling Mountains had been taken away by demonic cultivators a long time ago, making the surroundings devoid of spiritual energy.

The Baling Mountains weren't too far away from the city of Wan An. It only took Fang Yi and the others a day to reach their destination with the speed of a cultivator in the Aurous Core stage.

Fang Yi's tense face finally relaxed slightly as he gazed at the towering trees and the forest within which only a few strands of sunlight were left. He had finally arrived at the Baling Mountains.

Suddenly, Fang Yi's expression tightened as he looked towards the southwest. He could feel two strong spirit power fluctuations rushing towards him.

At almost the same time, Chen Xin and the rest discovered these two undulations, and they were all ready to fight. As soon as the opponent appeared, they would be able to attack at their fastest speed.

In next to no time, two black dots appeared in the distant sky.

The black dot moved extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of them.

Chen Xin's expression turned cold. Expert!

Now that her cultivation base had reached the middle phase of the Aurous Core stage, she could see even more clearly. Although the two of them were only at the pseudo Core Formation stage, the fluctuations of spiritual energy from their bodies let her know that their opponent's cultivation level was probably far above her own.

Even though they hadn't fought yet, Chen Xin felt that the strength of these two was probably on par with Zhang Xun and Hua Chenfei.

Chen Xin didn't make a move because she didn't feel any killing intent from them. On the contrary, the two of them revealed expressions of joy.

Could it be …

Just as this thought flashed through Chen Xin's mind, she saw from the corner of her eyes that Fang Yi had arrived before the two of them.

The two of them were incomparably excited to see Fang Yi and continuously sized him up. Fang Yi also looked at the two in surprise.

It's been so many years, and yet you didn't reply sooner. We all thought you were dead. Xiao Pang laughed.

I knew you would definitely come to save senior Fang Zhen, so I came with this little fatty to help you save him. Mu Linger voiced out Fang Yi's doubts.

Although Xiao Pang had long since become lean and strong, Mu Linger was still used to calling him Little Fatso. It was a habit, a habit acquired over the years.

Fang Yi smiled happily. Many things had changed over the years, but friendship had never changed, even though the two of them had not been in contact for many years.

With all of you here, this time's rescue operation will be even more foolproof. The four of you will come together to intercept the cultivators from the Talisman Sect. Leave the rescue of the cave to me.

Fang Yi gave a brief summary of his plan to the two of them before asking the three of them to act together. Let's split up and move here. Remember to use a disguise technique to slightly change your body so that the people from the Talisman Immortal Sect won't recognize you.

Also, try not to use the spells you use the most, especially Zhang Xun, Little Fatty, and Ling'er. Your task is to delay them, so it's best if you don't use your usual spells. This way, you can avoid letting them recognize you, you know?

Yes, Master. Zhang Xun said.

Well, we were ready before we came. Xiao Pang said.

Don't worry, Elder Hua and I are unknown, and the people from the Talisman Immortal Sect may not know us. Chen Xin smiled.

Well, we'll split up and make sure we're safe. After which, he flew out and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.

Let's go too. The five of them then sped off in the direction of the Gu He Mountain.

It was not easy to find the cave where Fang Zhen was being held in with the help of the lush greenery and the vast area of the Bent Ridge. Thankfully, Zhang Xun had already made sufficient preparations and told Fang Yi the exact location, allowing him to not search blindly.

In a short while, Fang Yi arrived at the upper abdomen of the mountain range. In this place, some low level beasts were already wandering around, but when these beasts felt the pressure from Fang Yi's body, they all fled in panic, losing a lot of trouble for Fang Yi.

As he got closer and closer to the cave, Fang Yi's pace gradually slowed down. His Heaven's Eyes opened abruptly, and his pitch-black pupils turned a pale blue as the surrounding scenery quietly entered his eyes. Every blade of grass and every tree, were incomparably clear.

Although Zhang Xun had said that there were no ambushes around the cave, for safety's sake, Fang Yi did not dare to be careless.

At this moment, there were still only two Qi Condensation disciples guarding the entrance of the cave. However, through the Heaven's Eyes, Fang Yi could clearly see that the surroundings of the cave were some extremely well hidden formations that were connected in one piece.

Sure enough, there was an ambush ahead of time. Fang Yi sneered.

These formations were all basic offensive formations. Once inside, the formations would all be activated and countless attacks would be launched. When that happened, even Aurous Core stage cultivators wouldn't be able to guarantee that they would be able to escape unscathed.

However, under Fang Yi's Heavenly Vision Technique, these formations seemed to be one after the other. A naked beauty completely revealed the mysteriousness of her body.

After all these years of cultivation, Fang Yi's Heavenly Vision Technique had long since been cultivated to the point where it could even be seen through a high grade formation array like the Ten Thousand Soul-Imprisoning Formation in the Heroes City. To him, these basic formations were a piece of cake.

Fang Yi's figure quietly dimmed and then disappeared.

As he slowly arrived in front of the first basic formation, his light blue eyes clearly identified the core of the formation. Fang Yi lightly waved his hand and the formation in front of him was soundlessly broken, but the formation was completely undamaged.

After easily breaking through one of the formations, Fang Yi continued to slowly walk forward. Under his deliberate control of his spiritual energy and his concealed body, the formation was destroyed one after another. However, the two Qi Condensation cultivators at the entrance did not sense anything.

When Fang Yi broke through the last formation, he was only a few feet away from the cave entrance. The faces of the two Qi Condensation cultivators could clearly be seen.

Fang Yi's body moved as he abruptly charged into the cave.

The two cultivators only felt a gust of wind coming from before them. The wind disappeared very quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

What a strange wind that was! One of them asked in bewilderment.

It's just a gust of wind. There's nothing strange about it. In any case, if someone comes to save the old man, they'll have to pass through the sea of formation outside our cave.

Another Qi Condensation cultivator said nonchalantly, Defender Wei specially invited a formation master to set up this ocean in order to maintain the formation for a long period of time.

Don't underestimate this formation sea. I've heard that this is a formation sea that even Aurous Core stage cultivators could heavily injure. It is extremely powerful. If we were to accidentally trigger this formation, we might not even be able to survive.

That's true, but I'm a little paranoid. The man laughed.

The corners of Fang Yi's mouth curled up slightly when he heard their conversation. If these two knew that the formation had been quietly broken by him, they'd probably be scared to the point of being at a loss, wouldn't they?

Seeing that he hadn't disturbed the two practitioners outside, Fang Yi didn't linger and continued walking forward.

CHAPTER 203 - ALONE IN THE CAVE

Many torches were lit on the walls of the cave, lighting up the entire cave.

Fang Yi met many cultivators along the way. The further they went, the higher their cultivation. When he saw Foundation Establishment cultivators, he finally stopped.

It was not because he was afraid of this Foundation Establishment cultivator's discovery, but because with his Heaven's Eyes technique, he could clearly feel that there was an Aurous Core stage expert guarding the deepest part of the cave.

If he continued moving forward, it was very likely that his invisibility would be discovered by that Golden Core Stage expert.

It looks like this is the only way to get there. Fang Yi let out a sigh and then raised his hand to point at a Foundation Establishment cultivator nearby. That cultivator was caught unawares and immediately lost consciousness from Fang Yi's attack.

Who is it?

Wei Cheng's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened as he let out a stern cry. His eyes were staring intently at the entrance. Beside him, three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were looking at the entrance with alert.

Behind the three of them was a huge stone pillar. The black chains on the stone pillar were like a spider web as it spread downwards, trapping a raggedy old man with a dark upper body.

The reply to Wei Cheng was silence, as well as unhurried footsteps.

Old man, your accomplice is here to save you. It looks like he still has some skill. He's actually able to use the formation sea that I specially arranged for someone to set up the formation. Wei Cheng turned his head and sneered at the old man on the stone pillar.

Although the expression on Wei Cheng's face was extremely relaxed, he was still incomparably shocked in his heart. He knew how powerful the formation outside the cave was. If he were to be unaware of it for a moment, even he himself might be put into a miserable state by the formation sea, and would even be seriously injured.

However, the person who had appeared in the cave was able to pass through the sea of formation without anyone noticing. This clearly showed the strength of the person.

Could it be that this person is a formation master? Wei Cheng was suspicious, but he didn't show it on the surface. He was just secretly on guard.

As a protector of the Talisman Immortal School, he was extremely confident in his own strength. Even experts of the same level might not be his match. There were dozens of protectors from the Talisman Immortal Sect, and his strength was at the upper level among them. This kind of strength was already extremely difficult to come by.

Fang Zhen raised his head with difficulty and looked at the entrance. A tinge of wetness stealthily flowed into those dry and long eyes.

He knew that the youngster who had once hidden behind him and needed him to protect him from all sides had now grown into someone who could take charge of his own affairs.

A young silhouette appeared in front of the crowd.

When he saw the figure, Wei Cheng's pupils constricted slightly as an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He cried out involuntarily, You're Fang Yi?! How is this possible? Weren't you already dead?

Upon hearing Wei Cheng call out the identity of the person, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators behind him couldn't help but reveal expressions of terror.

Fang Yi was the number one cultivator of the Immortal Dou Conference, and he used his fake core cultivation to kill twenty Ghost Generals within the Ghost World Seal Formation. How could anyone not be shocked and fearful of such strength?

These weren't the things that frightened them the most, but from what everyone knew, he was already killed by the Nascent Soul Stage elder in the sect, Xue Rong.

How could he still be alive?

Under the pursuit of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, not to mention a pseudo Core Stage cultivator, even an Aurous Core Stage expert would not be able to escape.

Fang Yi, I can't believe you're still alive. Although Wei Cheng was shocked, he was still an Aurous Core stage expert and was able to quickly recover his composure. However, he suddenly took out a sound transmitting talisman and crushed it.

Fang Yi, hurry up and go! He just called for reinforcements! Upon seeing Wei Cheng's actions, Fang Zhen's hoarse voice sounded.

Wei Cheng laughed coldly, Hmph, I've eaten. In less than an incense's time, our experts from the Talisman Immortal Sect will arrive. Fang Yi, I didn't expect that you weren't killed by Elder Xue Rong, but you must die today!

Fang Yi paid no attention to Wei Cheng and instead looked at Fang Zhen, who was tied to the stone pillar with a chain. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice had a tinge of heartbreaking hoarseness. Grandfather, Little Yi is here.

This was the first time Fang Yi had seen him in person since leaving Fang Zhen. The white-haired, haggard, and raggedy appearance made Fang Yi's heart ache uncontrollably.

Looking at Fang Zhen's expression, the killing intent in Fang Yi's heart reached its peak. His gaze swept across the few people present before stopping on Wei Cheng.

Were you the one who had been chasing after my grandfather all these years? Fang Yi looked straight at Wei Cheng. His icy cold voice seemed to echo out from the depths of hell.

For some reason, when he was looked at like this by Fang Yi, Wei Cheng felt a faint sense of fear. However, he was also a ruthless person. He sneered, So this old man was your grandfather. I can't believe that this damned old man could bring up such an outstanding grandson. Unfortunately, both of you will die here today.

Is that so? Your Nascent Soul Stage Elder can't even kill me, and you think you can protect me? You think too highly of yourself! A green sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Behind him, Fang Yi raised his hand and a sword light shot toward Wei Cheng.

Wei Cheng's expression changed slightly when he saw the sharp sword glow that suddenly rushed over. He opened his palm and a round bead that was formed from special symbol lines appeared.

The round bead slowly rotated in Wei Cheng's palm and runes interweaved and spread on the surface of the bead.

This was the talisman seed of the Talisman Immortal Sect that could shake the cultivation world!

Every Aurous Core expert of the Talisman Immortal Sect had their own talisman seed. This seed was not only a symbol of their status, but also their understanding and cultivation.

Talisman seeds were a unique mental cultivation method of the Talisman Immortal School. Every disciple of the Talisman Immortal Sect would condense their Aurous Core, unlike other cultivators who would condense their Aurous Core. Instead, she wanted to merge the talisman she had learned into the talisman seed when she was about to condense the aurous core.

With the seed in his hand, Wei Cheng immediately felt reassured, and the fear towards Fang Yi lessened by a lot. The talisman in his palm rotated and a golden ray of light shot out from Wei Cheng's hand.

Within the golden light, the runes continuously rotated. Although there was only one rune, it was a fierce and overbearing golden arrow symbol. Its power was also much stronger than the average cultivator's sword ray, and with Wei Cheng's high cultivation, the power of this golden arrow was even greater.

In an instant, the white sword ray and the golden light fiercely clashed.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion sounded in the cave. The terrifying shockwave caused the entire cave to tremble slightly, and the dust on the ceiling fell down like rain.

As the shockwave spread out, dust flew about within the cave. At the same time, Wei Cheng staggered back a few steps as the blood within his body churned. A grave expression flashed across his eyes.

However, he'd already discovered that Fang Yi's strength was far above his, and this had caused his expression to become extremely ugly.

This child must not be allowed to live!

A fierce look flashed across Wei Cheng's eyes. Suddenly, from the corner of his eyes, he saw a black shadow amidst the smoke.

Not good!

Quick, defend Fang Zhen!

CHAPTER 204 - MEETINGS

Three muffled sounds answered his question.

Fang Yi took advantage of the cloud of dust flying in the air to directly arrive in front of the three and then launched three consecutive attacks that were so quick that the three of them didn't even have time to react before they were knocked to the ground.

As he looked at the scarred Fang Zhen in front of him, Fang Yi's eyes began to grow blurry, and a tinge of wetness appeared in his bloodshot eyes. Grandfather, you've suffered greatly.

After he finished speaking, the Cyan Cloud Sword in his hand swiftly chopped down, cutting off the iron chain that was wrapped around Fang Zhen's body.

Losing the shackles of the iron chains, Fang Zhen lightly stretched his wrist. Right now, the Spiritual Energy within his body was sealed by Wei Cheng. Adding it to his injuries, it was not able to help Fang Yi and was instead a burden.

After the dust cloud dispersed, Wei Cheng's expression immediately turned extremely ugly when he saw the three disciples on the ground and Fang Yi, who was standing under the stone pillar.

Grandpa, you take this first. I'll take the rest. When Fang Yi saw Wei Cheng rotate the talisman seed once again and was prepared to attack, he immediately took out a jade bottle and handed it to Fang Zhen. He then tightened his grip on the Cyan Cloud Sword and took a step forward.

Suddenly, Fang Yi saw runic patterns appear on the ground. They moved swiftly like slithering snakes, interweaving as they dashed towards him.

A hint of a cold smile appeared on Fang Yi's face. If it was an ordinary cultivator, Wei Cheng would've surely sneak attacked them without a sound. However, after he entered the cave, he had used the Heavenly Vision Technique. How could he not have discovered the runes hidden underground?

Fang Yi casually swept his gaze towards the ground and instantly determined the center of these runes. He immediately raised his sword without hesitation, and sharp and domineering sword beams shot out abruptly, bombarding the northeastern part of the ground.

BOOM!

Bright runes suddenly appeared on the ground, each and every one of them exploding under Wei Cheng's astonished gaze.

How is this possible! Astonishment filled Wei Cheng's eyes. This was something that he had just set up while the dust was flying about. How could it be discovered so easily and then destroyed?

However, the facts had already been laid out in front of him, and he had no choice but to believe it.

The dazzling light radiating from the runes filled the crowd's vision, yet it didn't harm anyone.

Fang Yi raised his hand and slashed again. A sword ray that was even more domineering and sharp than before shot out towards Wei Cheng.

Seeing that Fang Yi had actually suppressed Wei Cheng, Fang Zhen was astounded, but at the same time, he revealed an expression of joy. However, he knew that this was not the time to be thinking about this. He hurriedly opened the jade bottle and poured out a pill.

A rich medicinal fragrance wafted into Fang Zhen's nose. Just this medicinal fragrance alone was enough to invigorate his spirit and reduce his previous tiredness by quite a bit.

As soon as Fang Zhen swallowed the pill, he felt a warm current flow from his throat into his body. Following that, the Spiritual Energy that was originally sealed within his body gradually relaxed.

With a single thought, Fang Zhen felt that this pill was incomparably marvelous.

This was not only a healing pill, but it also had the effect of removing the seal!

Fang Yi continued to contend with Wei Cheng, but when he saw that the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators wanted to ambush Fang Zhen, who was in the middle of healing, he would erupt with a fiercer attack to stop them from advancing.

When Wei Cheng saw that Fang Yi still wanted Fang Zhen to heal his injuries, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He had already sent out a sound transmitting talisman. It wouldn't be long before the masters in the sect arrived. If Fang Yi had forcefully broken through, he might not have been able to stop him. However, he had chosen to stall for time and continued to fight with him, aiming for his next move.

Since you want to buy time, I'll play with you. A cold light flashed across Wei Cheng's eyes.

Not too far away from the Iron Mountain Range, Yan Ning looked coldly at the five mysterious men and women blocking his way. Behind him were three Aurous Core stage cultivators who were also protectors and ten late Foundation Establishment stage disciples.

After receiving the sound transmitting talisman from Protector Wei Cheng and finding out that Fang Yi wasn't dead, the Sect Leader immediately ordered for him to lead three Protectors and ten experts of the sect to assist Wei Cheng in killing Fang Yi.

Although the fact that Fang Yi hadn't died had shocked everyone, no one had time to think about this. They knew that the most pressing matter at hand was to get rid of Fang Yi.

To the Talisman Immortal School, the most despicable person was not the Tiger Splitting Cliff Demon King who destroyed Xue Rong's body and imprisoned his nascent soul, but rather the notorious Fang Yi.

As the head of the cultivation world's righteous path, the Talisman Immortal School was one of the eight great sects. It valued their reputation more than anything.

However, the reputation that the Talisman Immortal School had built up for thousands of years was actually ruined by a small cultivator. Although the Talisman Immortal Sect had restrained them from continuing to turn bad, their reputation was already the worst among the eight great sects.

Yet the culprit was still alive! How could such a thing be tolerated?

As the head protector of the Talisman Immortal Sect, Yan Ning was undoubtedly very strong. Even though he was only in the middle phase of the Aurous Core stage, even the elders in the later stages of the Aurous Core stage did not dare say that they could defeat her.

However, just now, when he was leading his men here, he was ambushed by five people. Although no disciples died, the previous exchange had let Yan Ning know that the five people before him were very strong.

Yes, very strong. This was especially true for the woman who was in the middle phase of the Aurous Core stage. Not only was her cultivation level comparable to his, but her attack power was no weaker than his.

When did such a powerful figure appear in the cultivation world? Yan Ning thought to himself, but he was still unable to guess who this person was.

Who exactly are you? How dare you block the path of my Talisman Immortal School? Behind Yan Ning, an early Aurous Core stage protector said coldly.

Silence answered that person. None of the five people across from him spoke a word. They only continued to stare at him coldly, neither speaking nor making a move.

Even so, Yan Ning knew that all five of them had their divine senses locked on them. The moment they made a move, they would attack.

Seeing their actions, Yan Ning knew that these people must be Fang Yi's accomplices!

Gentlemen, as long as you give way, we can let this matter rest. How about it? Yan Ning said.

Silence, it was still silence. The five of them seemed to have decided not to speak.

In that case, this protector will have no choice but to leave you alive here. Kill! Yan Ning suddenly said with a stern voice. Immediately, a glyph seed appeared in his hand.

Kill! The crowd of talismans behind him roared and flew out, charging towards the five people in front of them.

Everyone, be careful. Leave the lead protector to me. You will be in charge of intercepting the others. You must not let them leave this place. Chen Xin transmitted her voice to them.

These five people were exactly the ones who had been lying in ambush here, Cheng Xin and the rest.

Seeing that Yan Ning and the rest had made their move, Chen Xin's body moved and he dashed towards Yan Ning, a faint light flickering in his hands.

CHAPTER 205 - EACH OPPONENT

If the five didn't move, then it was fine, but if they moved, then they were like thunder.

Chen Xin saw that the talisman seeds in Yan Ning's hand were continuously rotating and knew that he was casting spells. Without hesitation, she raised his hand and several fiery red lights shot out. The blazing Meteor Ember shot towards Yan Ning.

At the same time, Hua Chen Fei called out his black gourd. Black smoke surged out and shrouded the ten Foundation Establishment disciples.

Mu Linger summoned a wind dragon several meters long and flew forward with a violent gust of wind. Wherever the wind dragon passed by, the air around it became a mess.

On the other side, a grand sword intent shot up into the sky and pierced through the clouds.

Xiao Pang changed from his usual elegant and graceful sword technique and used a tyrannical and fierce sword technique to stab towards one of the Jindan Stage Protectors. Although the sword technique was rather crude, it was extremely sharp and tyrannical, shocking the hearts of people.

As if wanting to compete with Xiao Pang's sword technique, Zhang Xun's flying sword flew up as a sharp sword intent filled the sky.

Killing intent was gathered on the sword beam and a boundless sword intent was released. It surged towards a Jindan Stage Protector.

Yan Ning's expression changed slightly. Even though he was entangled by the woman in front of him, he could not help but notice everything that was happening around him.

None of these five were easy opponents!

As the head protector of the Talisman Immortal Sect, his eyesight was extraordinary. He had seen many genius experts, and he had also fought with countless experts. However, the four people in front of him were not the least bit weaker or stronger than the other talented experts he had seen. This caused him to feel slightly uneasy.

Who are these people?

Yan Ning tried his best to recall the genius experts he knew, but they were still unable to match up with these people.

However, he didn't have time to think too much about it. His opponent's attacks were getting fiercer and faster. Even he had to put in all of his effort to deal with them.

A golden light flashed in Yan Ning's palm. As the spiritual power in his body circulated, a golden spear formed. The talisman seed left his hand and instantly fused into the golden spear.

Yan Ning grasped the long spear in his hand. A light flashed in his eyes, and the spiritual energy within his body surged out.

Unlike the other Aurous Core stage cultivators who were refining many talismans on the aurous core, Yan Ning only cultivated one talisman seed.

His talisman seed condensed a high-grade talisman of the earth spirit grade, and it was able to condense a golden long spear with the help of the talisman seed. Its might was incomparably domineering.

Although he had lost all of the changes in his magic, he was still able to directly point at the path of the spear.

In the Talisman Immortal School, there were two types of Aurous Core stage cultivators: one was talisman magic cultivators who used talismans to condense talisman seeds, and the other was talisman battle cultivators like Yan Ning who condensed talismans to form talisman seeds.

Talisman cultivation skills mainly consisted of the magic talismans that they had learned. Their attacks varied constantly and were unpredictable, making it hard to guard against. However, if they encountered a strong opponent, the disadvantage of them being weak in attack power would undoubtedly be revealed.

Talisman Battling was based on martial arts. It would be when the talisman seeds were fused into one's body, or when the talisman seeds were fused into a weapon. This would increase the might of the weapon, causing the ordinary martial arts to become even more powerful.

Most talisman battle cultivators were much stronger than talisman cultivators, and their cultivation was also much more difficult. Out of the eighteen protectors, only three of them were Symbol Battlemages.

Yan Ning, who was holding onto a long spear, suddenly had a change in momentum. His body moved, appearing in front of Chen Xin in an instant, the long spear in his hand thrusting forward.

With the long spear in hand, even a cultivator of the later stages of the Aurous Core Stage would dare to fight against Yan Ning. This was the domineering confidence of a Symbol Battle Cultivator!

Wei Shuang stared at the huge, ferocious wind dragon with a serious expression. The pure wind spirit energy exuding from the green wind dragon had shocked him, causing him to become jealous of it!

Amongst the eighteen Golden Core Protectors of the Talisman Immortal Sect, his strength could only be considered to be above average. He was even weaker than Wei Cheng.

As the protectors of the Talisman Immortal School, every single one of them was a proud and arrogant individual. Thus, everyone wanted to surpass the protector who was ranked before them and take his place.

Although he had decent talent and was extremely hardworking, his progress was still a lot slower than the others. If this continued, his current position would be taken by others.

However, when he saw the incomparably pure Wind Dragon in front of his eyes, his eyes blazed with fire. If I can learn this Wind Dragon technique and refine it into a talisman and fuse it into a talisman seed, my strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and I might even break through to the middle phase of the Aurous Core stage!

No matter what, he had to seize the Wind Dragon's technique!

The talisman seed in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Two huge vines suddenly rose from beneath his feet. They were like two huge rattan snakes, constantly twisting their dark green bodies.

Both of Wei Shuang's eyes were fixed on Mu Linger. His hands were shaking as he strode towards her.

The two giant rattan snakes moved in the air and attacked the wind dragon from the left and right.

Clang!

Zhang Xun repelled the Aurous Core stage cultivator with a sword attack and took advantage of the fact that the other party had yet to attack to scan the surroundings with his peripheral vision.

Even though Yan Ning, the head of the talisman immortal gate's protector was at a disadvantage, he did not lose his balance in defense and retreat. He still maintained his own tempo.

To be able to avoid being disrupted by his opponent's attacks and affect his own tempo when he was at a disadvantage, it meant that this person was still not skilled and had yet to use his full strength.

So powerful! Zhang Xun was slightly surprised as he knew how powerful Yan Ning was.

The head guard of the Talisman Immortal School was the strongest talisman battle cultivator, and his strength was comparable to those elders at the later stages of the Aurous Core stage.

However, even such a powerful expert could not make Chen Xin use her full strength! How terrifying would that Cheng Xin's strength be?

Zhang Xun did not dare to think too much into it. As a result, the Jindan Stage Protector who was pushed back attacked again. He hastily brandished his sword to meet the blow.

Although he could not use the Barbarian Cow Technique that he was most proud of, his swordsmanship was not weak either. Even if he used it now, it would still be slightly better than this Golden Core Protector.

As expected, I'm still not used to this kind of fierce and overbearing sword style … Xiao Pang waved his sword to block the Golden Light Sword Formation as he sighed in his heart.

Before he created the Carefree Sword Technique, Xiao Pang flipped through many sword art manuals and continued to learn from them. At the same time, the ancient sword's sword spirit, in order to sharpen Xiao Pang, continued to enter his sea of consciousness, creating countless moves of the Earth Sword Technique for him to learn.

Thus, Xiao Pang's sword techniques were the most complicated, and the Carefree Sword Technique that he comprehended from comprehending many sword techniques was even more unrestrained. He could freely execute it as he wished.

At this moment, Xiao Pang was using a sword technique he had previously learned called the 'Tyrant Sword Tactic'. This set of sword technique was one that the ancient sword spirit had given him. Its power was domineering and powerful. A single slash could cause mountains to crack, but it was also the one that Xiao Pang disliked the most.

Although it had changed a lot, deep in Xiao Pang's heart, his life was carefree and unrestrained. His attitude did not change at all. Therefore, he did not like this kind of overbearing and forceful sword technique.

It looks like a barbarian, but how can it fit someone as handsome as me? Xiao Pang thought like this.

However, in order to prevent the opponent from recognizing him, Xiao Pang still chose the Tyrant Sword Technique that he disliked the most.

No, I have to finish this fight as soon as possible. I don't want to be a barbarian for so long! A stern look flashed across Xiao Pang's eyes as the Spiritual Energy within his body surged out. The flying sword in his hand was swiftly raised and chopped down heavily.

CHAPTER 206 - WHITE-HOT FIGHTING

In the cave, Fang Zhen slowly opened his eyes.

After consuming the pill, his injuries had mostly healed and the seal in his body had been broken. Although his strength had yet to recover, he still had the power to protect himself.

When Fang Zhen raised his head, he was stunned by the scene before him.

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators were lying on the ground, clearly dead. Under Fang Yi's fierce offensive, Wei Cheng was also in a precarious situation. He continuously retreated, attempting to leave the cave, but he was firmly restrained by Fang Yi.

If it wasn't for
