Chapter 753: Another Encounter with Xuan Che

After making the decision.

The group from the Beast Taming Sect no longer lingered and walked out of the Pavilion together.

Seeing Yang Yuntian and the other Beast Taming Sect Disciples leave.

The Disciples of the other Three Great Factions moved simultaneously, following them outside.

Sensing the group following them, the expressions of Yang Yuntian and the other Beast Taming Sect Cultivators turned grave.

However, their pace remained steady and unhurried.

The moment they reached the entrance of the Artifact Pavilion, they suddenly burst into full speed and dashed out.

Seeing this, the group behind them also unleashed their full speed and charged out.

In just a short moment,

only Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi remained in the hall.

Outside.

Bursts of rumbling sounds arrived.

The Beast Taming Sect group ultimately failed to escape directly and was caught up to by the group behind them.

A great battle erupted.

"Go, Lingxi, almost all of these people have entered the Treasure Realm."

"Many have even explored other areas and have quite a few treasures on them; they are all fat sheep."

Wang Jianqiang looked toward the door and said with a smile.

Mu Lingxi's eyes lit up, and she was about to rush out.

Wang Jianqiang held her back, "Although your cultivation has already surpassed the Ninth-Order Will Stage, the Three Great Factions have many people, and we still have to deal with Xuan Che who might appear at any time. Do not clash with them head-on; try to catch them by surprise, do not clash head-on."

Mu Lingxi curled her lips, "Understood, old man, you are so long-winded."

Having said that, her figure flashed and she disappeared.

Wang Jianqiang's expression froze, and he secretly gritted his teeth.

Old?

He might have been a bit old before, but he was now in his prime, full of vigor; where was he old?

Not long after Mu Lingxi left the Artifact Pavilion, a burst of chaos and noise suddenly came from outside.

"Ah~"

"People of the Jade Cauldron Sect, what is going on with you? Wasn't it agreed that we would join forces?"

"No~"

"Zilan, you are actually attacking your fellow disciples!!"

Half an hour later.

The fluctuations of battle vanished.

Another moment passed.

Mu Lingxi walked into the Artifact Pavilion once more.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Mu Lingxi, "How did it go?"

"Yang Yuntian left safely, the other Beast Taming Sect Cultivators left behind 'life-buying money', and as for the Cultivators from the other Three Great Factions, I knocked them all out and threw them into the portal," Mu Lingxi said nonchalantly.

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

He then glanced at Mu Lingxi, "Lingxi, you are quite formidable."

Mu Lingxi curled her lips, "Just killing some small fry at the Seventh or Eighth-Order Will Stage, and it was a sneak attack at that; what is so formidable about that?"

Wang Jianqiang came to her side with a smile and gave her a hard slap on her firm, perky buttocks, "I mean, you actually dared to call your Senior Brother an old man; you've grown bold, haven't you?"

Mu Lingxi let out an exaggerated cry, covered her buttocks, and said with some grievance, "You were indeed an old man before, I didn't call you wrong."

"Fine, you still dare to quibble, watch how I deal with you."

"Hehehe, come on then."

Seeing Mu Lingxi provoking him repeatedly, Wang Jianqiang was just about to pull her into the Spirit God Ring to teach her a lesson for ten or eight days.

Suddenly, the Stone Stele not far away lit up.

At the base of the Stone Stele, Spirit Light flashed and then climbed step by step.

It finally reached the sixth graduation mark.

Six layers of Spirit Light!

Although the quality of a Magic Treasure with six layers of Spirit Light was far inferior to the one Yang Yuntian had obtained, it was already considered extremely high!

If the others were still here, it would certainly have aroused envy.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi immediately stopped bickering and looked toward the entrance of the Treasure Realm together.

The Space Channel fluctuated.

A figure walked out.

It was a Jade Cauldron Sect Cultivator. He looked at the hall that had suddenly become completely empty, was stunned for a moment, then seemingly thinking of something, he looked at Mu Lingxi, "Junior Sister Zilan, where are the others? Did Yang Yuntian leave, and did they go off to hunt him down?"

Mu Lingxi looked around, seemingly surveying the surroundings.

In reality.

The moment her gaze crossed with Wang Jianqiang's, the two had already completed an exchange of glances.

"Senior Brother guessed correctly, they have already gone to hunt down the Beast Taming Sect Cultivators," Mu Lingxi nodded.

"Junior Sister, why aren't you going?" Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed the man's eyes as he looked at Mu Lingxi.

Mu Lingxi curled her lips, "I already have this Wang Daniu, why would I still need to go take risks?"

"Besides, with so many Senior Brothers there, along with numerous cultivators from Tianlang Hall and the Sacred Palace, I wouldn't gain any benefits even if I went."

The man nodded, "Junior Sister certainly sees things clearly."

As he spoke, he looked outside the Pavilion, his brows slowly furrowing, "It's just, why are there no signs of battle fluctuations outside?"

"There were some just a moment ago; it should be that the battle has already ended. After all, with the Beast Taming Sect at such a disadvantage in numbers, it wouldn't be hard to win."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, a look of obvious anxiety flashed across the man's eyes.

In that case, has it already reached the stage of dividing the spoils?

He was, after all, an Eighth-Order Will Stage cultivator.

With the strongest leaders of the Four Great Powers absent, he was a pivotal figure.

Unlike Zilan, this insignificant Seventh-Order Will Stage cultivator, who was dispensable.

How could his share be missing when dividing the benefits?

"Junior Sister Zilan, I'll go see what's going on outside first."

His figure flashed, and before his voice had even faded, he had already disappeared.

Seeing this, Mu Lingxi gave a sinister laugh.

Her figure flashed, and she followed, disappearing as well.

A moment later.

Mu Lingxi returned, holding a crystal-clear bead in her hand, tossing it up and down continuously.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the bead in her hand, his expression shifting, "Is this the treasure that the Jade Cauldron Sect Disciple obtained in the Treasure Realm just now?"

Mu Lingxi nodded and tossed the bead to Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang caught the bead and probed it with his Spirit Sense.

A moment later, he raised an eyebrow.

This was actually a Disposable Magic Treasure; after imprinting a Soul Seal within it, one only needed a single thought to detonate it.

As for its power...

It was enough to blow an Integration Stage Perfection cultivator to death!

"This thing has decent power."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and flipped his hand to put the bead away.

Immediately after.

He thought for a moment, a flash of Spirit Light shone over his body, and he transformed into the appearance of Yang Yuntian.

Seeing this scene, Mu Lingxi was stunned, "Senior Brother, what are you doing?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Senior Brother suddenly realized that Xuan Che was already scared by me before, and since there are Restrictions in this Artifact Pavilion, one cannot attack."

"If Xuan Che sees me and turns cowardly, refusing to leave the Artifact Pavilion, wouldn't we be stuck?"

"That makes sense."

Mu Lingxi suddenly realized.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "You know what to do next, right?"

"Hehehe, don't worry Senior Brother, I'm familiar with this."

The time that followed.

The two of them continued to wait on the first floor of the Artifact Pavilion.

Fearing they might miss Xuan Che, the two did not enter the Treasure Realm.

An hour later.

A burst of footsteps suddenly came from the stairs leading to the second floor.

Before long, a figure walked down from upstairs.

The person had a handsome appearance and an upright posture.

Their handsome face was full of high spirits, and only a trace of imperceptible gloom revealed in their flickering gaze showed that they seemed to be hiding some unpleasant matters in their heart.

"Senior Brother Xuan Che, you have finally come out of the Golden Pagoda."

Just as Xuan Che walked down the stairs, a voice of surprise came over.

Hearing this, Xuan Che looked toward the hall.

In the vast hall, only a man and a woman remained.

Seeing these two figures, Xuan Che was startled.

Zilan...

And that newly promoted Core Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, Yang Yuntian?

Where were the others?

A look of doubt flashed in his eyes; his gaze swept over Yang Yuntian and then landed on Zilan.

"Zilan, why are only the two of you left here?"

"Where are the others?"

Hearing Xuan Che's inquiry, Mu Lingxi's expression became solemn, "Previously, our Jade Cauldron Sect's Senior Brother Beiguo obtained a nine-layered Spirit Light level Magic Treasure in the Desolate Realm, and was targeted by cultivators from the other Three Great Factions present."

"Senior Brother Beiguo promised benefits to the other fellow disciples to get them to agree to escort him, and then they left. The cultivators from the other three sects followed them out as well, and the battle has just ended."

Hearing "Zilan's" response, Xuan Che's gaze flickered.

The most precious Magic Treasure in the Treasure Realm was of the ten-layered Spirit Light level; unless one went to challenge the Pill Tower and obtained the top-tier treasures within it, this level of treasure was already the highest grade.

Ever since this Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm was discovered, only a few Magic Treasures of the tenth-level Spirit Light grade have appeared in the Treasure Realm.

He had previously obtained one in the Treasure Realm.

Afterward, he headed to the second level and entered the Golden Pagoda.

Unexpectedly, after he left, a ninth-level Spirit Light grade treasure actually appeared.

Although a ninth-level Spirit Light grade Magic Treasure cannot compare to a tenth-level one, its value is still astonishing.

Even for him, he could not treat a Magic Treasure of this grade lightly.

"Junior Brother Beiguo's luck is unexpectedly good."

"However, he is a bit too impatient; he actually left without waiting for me to return."

Xuan Che shook his head.

Immediately, he looked at "Zilan" and frowned, "Zilan, since the other fellow disciples have already gone to escort Junior Brother Beiguo, why didn't you go?"

"As fellow disciples, we should be united in this Secret Realm. Your behavior of drifting outside the collective and disregarding the overall interests of the sect is inappropriate."

A look of grievance appeared on Mu Lingxi's face, "Senior Brother Xuan Che, you have misunderstood me."

"I already went, and this Yang Yuntian is someone I captured and brought back."

"It was only because I saw that the situation was impossible that I found an opportunity to retreat to the Artifact Pavilion and wait for you, Senior Brother Xuan Che, to turn the tide."

Hearing "Zilan's" explanation, Xuan Che looked at the somewhat listless Yang Yuntian on the side, and his expression relaxed.

He then said proudly, "Those small fry from the Beast Taming Sect, Sacred Palace, and Tianlang Hall actually dared to attack my Jade Cauldron Sect cultivators while I was away; they truly do not know how to live."

"Follow me out to take a look."

After speaking, he carried one hand behind his back, stood straight, and walked proudly out of the Artifact Pavilion.

Mu Lingxi looked at Wang Jianqiang.

The two looked at each other.

Both smiled silently.

"Hehehe~"

A moment later.

Mu Lingxi followed beside Xuan Che and walked out of the Artifact Pavilion with him.

After walking out of the Artifact Pavilion.

A scent of blood suddenly drifted over.

Xuan Che frowned and looked up.

He then saw that on the path leading to the teleportation exit, bloodstains were scattered all over the ground.

The strange thing was.

There were only bloodstains on the ground, but not a single figure.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Che's brow immediately furrowed.

What is going on?

Wasn't it said that the Jade Cauldron Sect cultivators were being besieged by the other Three Great Factions?

Why is there no one here?

Just as Xuan Che was feeling suspicious, a subtle fluctuation suddenly came from behind him, and he was startled.

A golden precious armor instantly appeared on his body.

Boom~

The next moment.

A delicate fist smashed directly onto his body.

The Spirit Light of the precious armor on his body flickered rapidly, constantly dissipating the force, but in the end, it still failed to fully withstand the power of this punch.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and his figure flashed, appearing dozens of feet away, looking at Mu Lingxi with shock and anger, "Zilan, you actually dare to attack me, have you gone mad?"

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that several wisps of black aura, as thin as hair, had broken through his golden armor defense at some point and burrowed into his body.

This black aura contained a mysterious power, and this power seemed to be naturally at odds with life.

As soon as it entered his body, it began to devour the vitality of his physical body.

This is... Intent Power!

And it is the extremely rare Death Intent!

His expression tightened, and he hurriedly mobilized his Spiritual Power to resist this Death Force.

Once Death Force enters the body, it is as difficult to remove as a maggot on a bone.

Fortunately, the vast majority of the Death Force was blocked outside his body by the Golden Profound Armor, and the Death Force that entered his body was very weak.

In just a short moment, he expelled this Death Force from his body.

Afterward, he let out a long sigh of relief, and a flash of shock and suspicion crossed his eyes as he looked at Zilan, "You are not Zilan, who are you?"

"I am your grandmother, you unfilial grandson, you don't recognize your grandmother anymore?"

Mu Lingxi said with a giggle.

"Looking for death!"

Xuan Che snorted coldly, a flash of lightning appeared in his hand, and a Thunder Sword, which seemed to be gathered from countless hair-thin electric lights, appeared in his palm.

The moment the Thunder Sword appeared, a mysterious power immediately spread out from it.

"This is..."

"Thunder Intent?"

A look of surprise flashed across Wang Jianqiang's face.

It's not...

Is this the power of someone favored by destiny?

Having just lost the greatest reliance, the ice sword, they immediately obtained a Thunder Sword of equal or even greater power?

It's simply a case of getting exactly what is needed!

And that golden armor.

Although the power Mu Lingxi just utilized was only at the Eighth-Order Will Stage, given her current combat strength.

Even if she only uses power at the Eighth-Order Will Stage, it is not difficult to defeat a Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivator.

Xuan Che took the hit squarely while completely off guard, yet only suffered some negligible minor injuries.

From this, one can see just how strong the power of this golden armor is!

Immediately following that.

Wang Jianqiang's heart became filled with excitement once again.

Xuan Che had already used two priceless Magic Treasures just after the battle began, which shows that his gains in the Artifact Pavilion must be incredibly abundant.

Abundant gains are good.

After all, Xuan Che is his personally designated porter of opportunities.

Isn't what belongs to Xuan Che also his?

The greater Xuan Che's gains, the happier he naturally is.
