Chapter 759: The Fisherman

After the purple light defense shattered, Xuan Che felt a pain in his waist, and a shallow wound appeared there.

His face turned pale.

While retreating, he swallowed a Pill, and the wound on his waist healed rapidly.

Thinking of the scene where the reflection in the mirror had been split in two just moments ago, a wave of lingering fear washed over him.

By attacking the reflection in the mirror, the effect was linked to the real world, achieving the goal of attacking the enemy.

What a bizarre method of attack!

Had he not reacted in time, he would likely have followed in the footsteps of the mirror reflection and been cut in half at the waist!

"Oh?"

Seeing that her Dao Mirror strike had failed to cause significant injury to Xuan Che, Mu Lingxi's eyes shone even brighter.

"You are much stronger now than you were in the Artifact Pavilion; it's only satisfying to beat you up like this."

Mu Lingxi let out a "hehe" laugh.

Her long, pitch-black hair stirred without wind, and Black and White Qi drifted out from her body like mist, transforming into a Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram above her head.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Che immediately became vigilant.

He had witnessed this Technique in the space of the Artifact Pavilion.

It was this very Technique that had broken his lethal strike aided by the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map and pierced through the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map itself.

It could be described as both offensive and defensive, leaving a deep impression on him.

He looked at the Jade Cauldron Sect Cultivators behind him, "Fellow disciples, the demoness is using her trump card, assist me with all your might!"

Hearing this, the Jade Cauldron Sect Cultivators erupted with their full power, and the power of the Formation became increasingly formidable.

The Purple Cauldron Mark between Xuan Che's brows became clearer and more vivid.

He pointed a finger at the Purple Cauldron Mark on his brow.

"Purple Qi comes from the East, the Cauldron breaks all Techniques!"

The Purple Cauldron Mark detached, expanding rapidly as it rose into the air, eventually transforming into a massive cauldron as large as a mountain.

Above the clouds, streaks of purple Qi descended and merged into the cauldron.

After absorbing the purple Qi formed by this power of heaven and earth, the power of the Purple Cauldron surged violently.

At the same time.

Mu Lingxi's palm had already reached into the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram, and she then slowly withdrew it.

In her hand appeared a slender whip.

This whip was the very boundary within the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram where life and death converged.

Neither living nor dead, yet both dead and living; life and death were perfectly fused, and its power was overwhelming.

She swung the long whip in her hand.

A grey, hazy force spread from the edge of the long whip, as if infinitely lengthening it, and lashed out toward Xuan Che.

Xuan Che's expression was grave as he pointed his finger at the Purple Cauldron.

"Suppress!"

The hill-like Purple Cauldron flew out.

Dong~

The long whip struck the Purple Cauldron, emitting a low, muffled sound.

The Purple Cauldron shuddered, and then, cracks appeared on the body of the cauldron, spreading rapidly; in the blink of an eye, spiderweb-like cracks covered the massive cauldron.

Finally, the Purple Cauldron shattered with a boom.

At the same time.

The Formation set up by the Jade Cauldron Sect Cultivators was instantly broken.

Puchi~

Puchi~

Everyone spat out blood in unison and collapsed to the ground.

Having lost the support of the Formation.

The powerful energy on Xuan Che's body dropped rapidly, eventually falling back to the level of the Eighth-Order Will Stage.

His expression changed, and without a second thought, he prepared to fly backward.

"Want to leave now?"

"Too late!"

Mu Lingxi chuckled.

She lashed out with the long whip in her hand.

A look of horror appeared on Xuan Che's face as he hurriedly gathered all his strength to resist.

But facing the attack of the long whip, he hadn't been a match even with the help of the Formation's power, let alone now.

The defensive power he condensed was like paper, shattering instantly.

Just as the long whip was about to land on him.

Mu Lingxi moved her mind, and the grey energy whip shadow that was about to strike Xuan Che instantly dissipated; however, although the whip shadow vanished, the gale force it carried did not, and it landed heavily on Xuan Che.

Xuan Che spat out a mouthful of blood and, like a shooting star, flew across the sky before slamming into the ground with a "bang."

His face turned as pale as paper in an instant, and numerous cracks appeared on his body, with blood seeping out and staining his clothes red.

At the same time.

Mu Lingxi's Future Self and Past Self also erupted with power.

The combat power of Xiaoyue Daoren is on par with Xuan Che.

Lv Ling, however, is somewhat weaker.

The two only held out for a moment before they were successively heavily injured and collapsed to the ground, unable to rise.

At the same time the two were heavily injured, the many Cultivators from the Sacred Palace and Tianlang Hall who were setting up the Formation to bolster them were also affected one after another, heavily injured and collapsed.

Mu Lingxi moved her mind.

Her past self and future self returned, merging back into her main body.

The long whip in her hand vanished, and she looked toward Wang Jianqiang behind her with a grin, "Senior Brother, it's done; next, we should attend to the real business."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, looking at the many figures collapsed on the ground, and sighed, "Fellow Daoist friends, Wang only resorted to this desperate measure to help you all; I hope you fellow Daoist friends can understand."

After speaking, his figure flashed, appearing beside Lv Ling, and he removed her Space Ring; afterward, seeming not to be at ease, he prepared to search her person.

"Bastard!"

"You shameless scoundrel!"

Lv Ling was overcome with shame and anger, and she was very uncooperative.

"Fairy, Wang has already said that the treasures on your person will diminish your good fortune; if I don't search you thoroughly, it will do you more harm than good."

Wang Jianqiang said with a straight face.

"Go to hell!"

Lv Ling glared at Wang Jianqiang with her beautiful eyes and said viciously.

Wang Jianqiang sighed, "Since Fairy is so uncooperative, then Wang will not search you."

Upon hearing this, Lv Ling had just let out a sigh of relief when Wang Jianqiang's voice came again, "I can only take all the clothes on your body away together; in this way, it will neither make things difficult for Fairy, nor will it ensure there are no omissions."

Lv Ling's expression changed drastically, "Don't, I'll let you search."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang, whose palm had already reached Lv Ling's collar, stopped instantly and said with a smile, "Fairy is truly understanding."

After speaking, he began to search with a face full of seriousness.

The people all around watched, dumbfounded.

Not long after.

Wang Jianqiang let Lv Ling go and came to another Sacred Palace Fairy, saying with a smile, "Fairy should be able to understand Wang's hidden difficulties, right?"

With Lv Ling's encounter as a precedent, how could this Sacred Palace Fairy dare not to understand?

She hurriedly nodded.

Next.

Wang Jianqiang methodically helped all the Fairies present resolve their good fortune crises.

Afterward, he looked at the remaining male Cultivators.

With a wave of his palm, the Space Rings on all the male Cultivators were snatched away one after another.

With a movement of his mind, he put all the Space Rings away.

Not only did the male Cultivators not show the slightest anger, but they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Fortunately, this beast was not as beastly as they had imagined.

"Done."

Wang Jianqiang came before Mu Lingxi and said, feeling refreshed.

Mu Lingxi curled her lips and leaned into Wang Jianqiang's ear, "Senior Brother, how does it feel?"

Wang Jianqiang gave a dry cough, "Just so-so."

A look of suspicion flashed in Mu Lingxi's eyes, "I'll go try it too."

Although the two spoke in low voices.

They did not deliberately conceal them, and they were heard clearly by everyone.

The expressions of the female Cultivators changed one after another.

Wang Jianqiang gave a dry cough, "Forget it, Lingxi, we still have real business to attend to."

As he spoke, he gave Mu Lingxi a look, keeping his expression unchanged.

Mu Lingxi's heart stirred; she looked at the many beautiful Fairies present and nodded with regret.

Wang Jianqiang looked at everyone present.

"Everyone, your good fortune crises have been resolved."

"Ten thousand Karmas are added to my body, and I bear them on my shoulders, all to ensure that your future cultivation can be smoother."

"Sacrificing my small self to achieve you all is my wish."

"You all need not be too grateful."

When Wang Jianqiang spoke, his voice was sincere, and his face was filled with a sense of determination as if he were sacrificing his life for righteousness.

With a wave of his palm, he put away the Array.

"I depart now, do not miss me."

After speaking, he pulled Mu Lingxi and flew toward the teleportation exit under the gazes of everyone who wanted to spit fire.

The two were extremely fast, and before long, they appeared before the teleportation exit.

Just as the two were about to rush into the teleportation exit.

Before the teleportation exit, in the void that had been empty, a Jade Bead the size of a dragon's eye and entirely crimson suddenly flashed into existence.

"Oh no~"

A panicked exclamation escaped Wang Jianqiang's mouth.

Boom~

The next moment.

The crimson jade bead suddenly exploded, and the scorching flames instantly engulfed the two of them.

Although the range affected by the flames was not large, the power was incredibly astonishing.

Even the void began to distort under the scorching heat of the flames.

Xuan Che looked at the sky shrouded in flames, his expression one of pleasant surprise.

"That is the Burning Spirit Bead; the last time the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm opened, a cultivator from my Jade Cauldron Sect obtained this treasure."

"The explosion power of the Burning Spirit Bead is not strong, but the flames within it are extremely terrifying; even a cultivator at the Integration Stage Perfection level, if they lack special means, will undoubtedly die if enveloped by the flames of the Burning Spirit Bead."

"Wang Daniu and that witch are dead for sure!"

Hearing Xuan Che's voice, which was brimming with satisfaction, the people all around reacted one after another, and they also revealed looks of pleasant surprise.

The only pity was that since the flames within this Burning Spirit Bead were so terrifying.

Wang Daniu's Space Ring was likely unable to withstand it either; the treasures stolen from them would inevitably enter the spatial turbulence along with the destruction of the other party's Space Ring, making them impossible to find again.

However, being able to slay these two great villains could already be considered an unexpected surprise.

After the crowd regained their composure, curiosity could not help but arise in their hearts again.

Which hero was so resourceful as to help them slay those two great villains?

Just as the crowd was revealing looks of curiosity, the monstrous flames at the teleportation entrance had already vanished, and Wang Daniu and that witch had disappeared as expected.

They must have both been vaporized.

After the flames vanished and all fluctuations subsided.

A figure emerged from the void.

She was dressed in a snow-white long dress, spotless and pure.

Her figure was slender, with proud curves.

A layer of Restriction existed on her pretty face, causing the space in front of her features to be distorted, making it impossible to see her appearance clearly.

There was a holy aura about her, as if she were a Fairy from above the nine heavens, not to be profaned by worldly people.

Just by standing there quietly, she naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

"It's Senior Sister Yaoguang!"

Upon seeing the woman, Lv Ling and the other Sacred Palace cultivators revealed looks of pleasant surprise.

"Yaoguang? She wasn't captured by Wang Daniu?"

Xiaoyue Daoren's heart stirred.

He had been the first to retreat that day, and what happened afterward was only heard after the Tianlang Hall cultivators had escaped.

It was said that when everyone woke up, Yaoguang, Wang Daniu, and the witch had all vanished without a trace.

Originally, everyone had been guessing that Yaoguang had been captured by Wang Daniu.

Unexpectedly, she had not fallen into Wang Daniu's hands, but had successfully escaped.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Fairy Yaoguang flew over slowly and landed among the Sacred Palace cultivators, "Are you all alright?"

"We are fine; we can recover after resting for a while."

The Sacred Palace cultivators were in high spirits and responded one after another.

The pale-faced Lv Ling stood up and came before Yaoguang, "Senior Sister Yaoguang, after we woke up that day, we didn't find you and thought you had been captured by that hateful Wang Daniu."

"So you had already escaped at that time."

"It's truly great that you are alright."

Hearing Lv Ling's words, a flash of complexity passed through Yaoguang's eyes; she nodded and did not speak.

Afterward, she looked at Xiaoyue Daoren with an expressionless face.

Xiaoyue Daoren felt a bit guilty and gave a dry laugh, "Ever since the Fairy went missing, I have been very worried about the Fairy; I am deeply comforted that the Fairy could return safely."

Yaoguang sneered, ignored him, and looked at Xuan Che, "Daoist Friend Xuan, remove the Restriction."

Xuan Che was startled, then reacted immediately.

With a flick of his finger, the Restriction blocking the entrance to the Dharma Hall instantly vanished.

"Wang Daniu and the witch have been executed, the Secret Realm is much safer now; those willing to stay in the Dharma Hall, come with me."

"Those who do not wish to stay in the Dharma Hall, do as you please."

Fairy Yaoguang greeted the Sacred Palace cultivators and walked into the Dharma Hall first.

Xuan Che looked at Fairy Yaoguang, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, "Fairy Yaoguang, I have a matter to ask."

Fairy Yaoguang paused her steps and looked back at Xuan Che, "What is it?"

Xuan Che said, "Since the Fairy was able to ambush Wang Daniu and the witch beforehand, you must have been tracking the two of them all along."

"I wonder if, during this period, you happened to see Kong Yu of my Jade Cauldron Sect?"

Fairy Yaoguang pondered for a moment and said indifferently, "Before Wang Daniu and the witch came to this place, they left Kong Yu in the Artifact Pavilion."

"Previously, with the Control Mark left by Wang Jianqiang on her, she did not dare to leave the Artifact Pavilion; now that Wang Daniu has fallen, she must have already sensed it."

"She should arrive here very soon to meet up with you all."

Hearing Fairy Yaoguang's words, Xuan Che felt a surge of joy.

He had been afraid that Wang Daniu would keep Yu'er by his side; if that were the case, Yu'er would inevitably have been affected when Wang Daniu fell, and would have perished along with him.

Fortunately.

Things did not develop in the direction he feared most.

After answering Xuan Che's question, Fairy Yaoguang walked into the Dharma Hall.

Upon learning that Kong Yu was unharmed, Xuan Che was in a great mood and looked at the Jade Cauldron Sect cultivators behind him.

"There is not much time left before the Secret Realm closes; now that all the treasures on our persons have been snatched away by that thief Wang Daniu, let us take advantage of this little time to make up for it as much as possible."

"From here on, you are free to act as you please."

Having said that, he also walked into the Dharma Hall.

Afterwards, Xiaoyue Daoren also returned to the Dharma Hall.

Although the Cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect did not leave the Dharma Hall, they had been keeping a close watch on the battle outside.

They saw the witch display great power to defeat the joint efforts of Xuan Che and the others, and they also saw Wang Daniu and the witch encounter Yaoguang's sneak attack, their souls scattered and spirits destroyed.

Seeing the Cultivators of the Three Great Factions return, the Cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect sighed one after another.

Then they continued to comprehend the Ten Thousand Dharma Pillar.

Time passed.

The time until the end of the Secret Realm was drawing closer and closer.

Some Cultivators who had not come to the Dharma Hall before arrived one after another.

Five days later.

Kong Yu returned.

Xuan Che was overjoyed; after some exchange of pleasantries, he regained his calm and continued to comprehend the Ten Thousand Dharma Pillar.

Another few days passed.

Zhou Yun, Yang Yuntian, and some other Beast Taming Sect Cultivators, as well as some Cultivators from the other Three Great Factions, arrived in succession.

Upon learning of Wang Daniu's actions in the Secret Realm, Zhou Yun was greatly shocked.

She had not expected that Wang Daniu had been hiding his strength all along!

She was even more surprised that Wang Daniu had actually done such earth-shattering deeds.

To rob the prodigies of various factions, and to leave those prodigies helpless—this was simply too astonishing!

It was a pity that he ultimately died in Yaoguang's sneak attack.

Although Wang Daniu had hidden his strength and deceived her and Qing Yu, he had never done anything detrimental to her or Qing Yu.

On the contrary, he had helped her and Qing Yu quite a lot.

This made her feel both heartbroken and somewhat conflicted after learning the news of Wang Daniu's death.

Half a month later.

Two figures walked into the Dharma Hall.

Seeing these two people, Yang Yuntian was overjoyed.

The people who had arrived were actually Wan Guiyuan and Lu Xiu.
