Chapter 303: A Bloody Case Caused by the Xian Mountain

Zhang Nuo hid in the distance, his heart filled with joy! He particularly hoped that Sui Huayuan and the Demon Emperor would fight; only then could he take advantage of the chaos to escape!

The two sides were at daggers drawn, a thick scent of gunpowder filling the surrounding space. The killing intent erupting from the Demon Emperor instantly infected all the demon cultivators. They had searched the Xianhuan Continent for so long and finally had a clue about the Xian Mountain; it was impossible for them to hand it over easily.

Sui Huayuan looked coldly at the Demon Emperor and his group, his heart also drumming incessantly. He was likewise unwilling to give up the Xian Mountain before him!

The cultivators from various continents had just established their foundations around the Xianhuan Continent; their future development would depend on who could obtain the first Xian Mountain. Only then would their influence be stabilized!

Qin Xiaofeng and the other cultivators of the "Great Underworld Mansion" appeared indifferent, standing at the position closest to the stone hall, with no intention of making a move at all.

This gave Zhang Nuo a headache; if the people of the "Great Underworld Mansion" did not act, but discovered him while he was fleeing, it would still cause him quite a bit of trouble!

"Fellow Daoist Sui! Since things have reached this point, we can only let our strength do the talking!"

The Demon Emperor suddenly rotated the Golden Brick he had been hiding in his palm, then spoke to Sui Huayuan without the slightest courtesy.

"Hmph! Perhaps if your cultivation were still as it once was, this old man might have some misgivings, but now... Hehe! Then let us let our strength do the talking!"

With a heavy cold snort, Sui Huayuan flicked his sleeves, and light shimmered before him. In the blink of an eye, three giant longswords appeared. Each of these three swords was a different color, their surfaces steaming with spirit light. An unconcealable killing intent erupted from the sword bodies. This killing intent was not added by him, but was inherent to the Magic Treasures themselves; one could see how many cultivators these three swords had slaughtered to condense such thick killing intent!

"Let this Venerable One see your methods!"

The suppressed anger in his heart was finally released. The Demon Emperor violently flicked his hand, sacrificing the hidden Golden Brick. A golden light surged wildly toward Sui Huayuan! Wherever the Golden Light passed, the surrounding space twisted, looking extremely eerie.

"Well come!"

Seeing the opponent make a move, there was nothing left to say. Sui Huayuan let out a long whistle, and the three Flying Swords before him shot out in unison like lightning.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Three sounds of breaking through the air rang out. The three giant Flying Swords, like divine weapons cutting through thorns and thistles, were wrapped in clusters of spirit light as they countered the Golden Brick!

"Boom!"

With a heaven-shaking explosion, the Golden Light and spirit light flashed alternately. Once these two made their move, the cultivators on both sides also successively revealed their Magic Treasures. For a time, all kinds of light shimmered, and chaotic fluctuations of Spirit Power rose and fell one after another! The shouts of cultivators and the clashing sounds of Magic Treasures mixed together.

Watching everything before him, Zhang Nuo could not help but be overjoyed. However, he did not choose to escape immediately, because the great battle had just begun, and many people had not yet fully committed themselves to it! He had to wait until the battle was at its peak; that would be the best opportunity to escape!

Bursts of rumbling sounds came, and streaks of blood splashed. In the blink of an eye, cultivators from both sides had fallen. At this moment, Zhang Nuo's gaze caught a figure moving like a ghost, weaving back and forth through the battle group!

"Li Xue!"

He was somewhat surprised. This fellow, who looked eccentric and never seemed serious for a day, was unexpectedly not the least bit hesitant when it came to fighting. Utilizing her ghostly movement technique, she was like a swimming fish, making the cultivators of the Five Great Demon Mountains unable to defend against her! Every time she struck, she would surely heavily injure the opponent!

Just as Zhang Nuo was watching the battle intently, an unexpected thing happened: the Spirit Beast Bag in his bosom containing the "Mysterious Heaven Gold-Devouring Insect" moved violently several times.

He frowned, then immediately gave a bitter smile. This little guy, it didn't wake up early or late, but chose this exact moment! He probed his divine sense into the Spirit Beast Bag and discovered that the Spirit Insect had a strong desire to come out!

This was the first time the Spirit Insect had woken up since eating the "Blue Gold Copper" ore; perhaps there would be a great harvest. Zhang Nuo did not want the Spirit Insect to suffer any mishap, so he made up his mind that no matter what, he had to leave this place immediately!

His figure slowly retreated. Daring not to use Spirit Power, he could only move away from the battlefield bit by bit. His movements were very light, for fear of attracting the attention of both sides!

After retreating a great distance, the Black Butterfly Wings on his back quickly unfolded. Without looking back, he soared into the sky, his body turning into a streak of escape light as he fled into the distance!

Just as Zhang Nuo activated the Butterfly Wings, Jin Buhuan's expression changed. He turned his head and looked in the direction Zhang Nuo was flying. He saw a streak of escape light fleeing rapidly toward the distance; judging by that speed, it was completely comparable to the escape light of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator!

"Fellow Daoist Qin, did you feel that?"

Jin Buhuan did not rashly take action. Not knowing the background of the other party, he did not want to do anything unnecessary, especially since that escape light was clearly fleeing and not coming to attack!

"En!"

The usually cynical Qin Xiaofeng rarely revealed a grave expression; he understood very well what Jin Buhuan was asking.

"It is the fluctuation of Yin energy! I didn't expect there to be someone here who understands Underworld cultivation methods!"

Just as Qin Xiaofeng finished speaking, the red-haired man also turned his head. A strange look flashed in his red eyes. He was very shocked: in the Human Realm, who else could cultivate an Underworld cultivation method to such a realm?

"Shall we go take a look?"

Jin Buhuan said, hesitating.

"Forget it! Since it hasn't provoked us, there is no need to stir up extra trouble. The matter at hand is more important!"

Slightly raising his head, Qin Xiaofeng looked at the towering Chenjie Mountain and said indifferently.

Their purpose for this trip was to seize a Xian Mountain, and now that the Xian Mountain was right before them, nothing could be more important than this! Hearing this, the other two nodded simultaneously and refocused their attention on the battle group.

Zhang Nuo flew nearly a thousand miles in one breath. His Divine Sense did not detect anyone following, and only then did he let out a long breath. It had been dangerous to the extreme just now; if the cultivators of the Great Sui Empire hadn't appeared, he might have been splattered with blood on the spot!

At this moment, the "Mysterious Heaven Gold-Devouring Insect" in his bosom became even more restless, and waves of angry mental connections transmitted into Zhang Nuo's mind!

"Don't be impatient yet!"

Zhang Nuo soothed it while opening his Divine Sense wide, constantly searching for a safe place! At this moment, he still hadn't left the range of Chenjie Mountain. He had originally wanted to wait until he left the mountain to release the Spirit Insect, but it seemed that was not going to work!

The restless Spirit Insect was like a crazed beast, causing the Spirit Beast Bag to shimmer with light; if he didn't let it out, he feared this little guy would do something even more outrageous.

Helpless, Zhang Nuo had to find a safe place to land. Hiding in a secluded corner, he took out the Spirit Beast Bag from his bosom. He saw that at this moment, the surface of the Spirit Beast Bag was covered in chaotic Spirit Power, and the opening of the bag had loosened slightly!

With no time to think, spirit light shimmered on Zhang Nuo's five fingers. He raised his hand and opened the bag! In an instant, a golden light shot out from within. After stopping a yard away from Zhang Nuo, the golden light slowly receded, revealing the transformed "Mysterious Heaven Gold-Devouring Insect!"

The little guy was finally liberated. Its two small hands kept scratching at its blurred face. The face, shrouded in faint golden light, showed strange water-ripple fluctuations, and from time to time, it would form the face of a young child!

"Kid Zhang, this time it might undergo a major change!"

Chunyangzi also sensed everything on the Spirit Insect and said with irrepressible wild joy. Zhang Nuo now had his entire heart and mind focused on the Spirit Insect and did not pay attention to Chunyangzi.

His two eyes were wide open, and he didn't even dare to blink, fearing he would miss any detail. His pupils shrank to tiny points, filled with anticipation!

"Ya yi! Ya yi!"

The Spirit Insect suddenly emitted a sound like a baby learning to speak, its two small feet kicking incessantly in mid-air; it looked extremely painful!

"Nothing bad is going to happen, is it?"

Zhang Nuo's heart was about to jump into his throat. Ever since the Spirit Insect reached the Transformation Stage, he had never seen it like this!

"It shouldn't!"

While saying this, Chunyangzi also had no confidence at all; after all, this was his first time coming into contact with a Mysterious Heaven Tier Spirit Insect.

Just as the two were talking via voice transmission, the Spirit Insect in mid-air suddenly fell to the ground, as if it were unable to fly through the air anymore.

Zhang Nuo was terrified and shocked. His figure moved, wanting to rush over, but just as the thought arose in his heart, he saw the Spirit Insect on the ground shakily stand up. One hand firmly grasped its blurred face, while the other hand kept pounding its own abdomen!

"Hum!"

A trembling sound rang out in the surroundings. This sound was not emitted by the Spirit Insect, but was caused by the Spirit Insect spitting out an object, which made the surrounding air tremble!

What kind of thing had appeared to make even the air tremble? Zhang Nuo's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, his gaze fixed intently on one of Spirit Insect's small hands!

It seemed to be clutching something quite hard in its hand; through the gaps between its small fingers, an inexplicable Spiritual Pressure emanated. It was a type of Spiritual Pressure beyond the many forms of Spiritual Qi, and Zhang Nuo had never felt the existence of such a Spiritual Pressure before!

However, looking at Spirit Insect's appearance, it seemed it had not finished completely. From its blurred face, wisps of black gas were exhaled, slowly flowing into its small hand, while the object in its hand was constantly absorbing the black gas. Even though it was firmly clutched in Spirit Insect's hand, it still could not hide the fact that it was changing.

Zhang Nuo did not understand what was going on, but Chunyangzi seemed to have guessed something; the faint impulse in his heart was like a flood breaking through a dam, no longer able to be held back!

"This... this is... Hahaha! This is truly incredible!"

The voice, trembling from excitement, left Zhang Nuo somewhat bewildered. What kind of matter could make this old fox so happy? But immediately, he also thought of one thing, and a gleam of excitement erupted in his eyes as he tentatively took a few steps forward; he had to see clearly what was in Spirit Insect's hand!
