Chapter 372: The Furious Taixu Palace

Following the severing of one of Zhou Zhangbai's arms, tens of thousands of sword Qi pierced through his body, and a thick blood mist appeared within the "Lotus Fall" sword formation! Not only that, but even Zhou Zhangbai's Nascent Soul did not escape unscathed!

Seeing that his strike had succeeded, Zhang Nuo was overjoyed. He moved his body a few times to reach the edge of the sword formation, then gently beckoned with one hand to draw the nine flying swords back into his body! Looking at the patch of red in mid-air, he merely let out a faint, cold snort.

"Fourth brother! Well done!"

In the blink of an eye, the two great Nascent Soul existences of Taixu Palace had all died at the hands of Zhang Nuo. If this were to spread, it would surely shock the entire Xianhuan Continent!

"Zhou Zhangbai's death was because he was too impatient to retrieve the 'Rare Gold'!"

Although he had slain Zhou Zhangbai, Zhang Nuo understood in his heart that if it had been a one-on-one fight, even if he could have defeated the opponent, it would absolutely not have been this easy!

When the gazes of both Yang Huzi and Zhang Nuo fell upon the massive flying magic tool, the "Rare Gold," the hundreds of Taixu Palace disciples on the magic tool all revealed expressions of terror!

The two Nascent Soul stage cultivators within the palace had fallen, so they were even less of a match for Yang Huzi and his companion, and they immediately fled in all directions! Zhang Nuo did not make a move to kill them; grievances have their sources and debts have their debtors. Their purpose in coming this time was to wipe out Zhou Zhangbai and Hong Yu Niang, and then teach Taixu Palace a lesson!

Since the goal had been achieved, there was no need to embark on a massacre! When Zhang Nuo and Yang Huzi landed their feet on the flying magic tool, not even a shadow of a person could be found on it!

Walking into the interior of the flying magic tool and looking around, the eyes of Zhang Nuo and Yang Huzi lit up simultaneously. They saw that inside the massive magic tool, various items were placed, and a few were even firmly sealed with restrictions, making them impossible to open!

"Hehe! This should be just about all of Taixu Palace's family fortune, right?"

Reaching out to stroke these items one by one, Yang Huzi was so happy he couldn't close his mouth! If all these things could be transported back to the Giant Spirit Pavilion, they would certainly be of great use!

But the current situation left the two of them greatly hesitant! Previously, in order to make the "Rare Gold" stop, Zhang Nuo had unleashed a powerful attack of "Autumn Water Household," and he hadn't expected to damage it so severely! It was already quite something that it could still float in mid-air!

"Brother Yang, we should just take a few important items and destroy the rest!"

After Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense enveloped the entire flying magic tool and he carefully inspected it, he said this helplessly. With his and Yang Huzi's methods, there was simply no way to repair the "Rare Gold"! If the two of them used brute force to transport such a massive flying magic tool back to Yulong Immortal Mountain, who knew what kind of trouble might arise on the way?

Forced by necessity, Zhang Nuo had no choice but to resort to this inferior plan! Amidst a sigh of heartache, Yang Huzi had to agree. At this moment, Zhang Nuo reached into his Storage Bag and took out an exquisite flying car, which grew to several zhang in size after a few transformations! This car was none other than the "Tianyang Flying Carriage" gifted to him by Ye Yuemiao back then!

Don't let its small size fool you; it could hold quite a lot of things. Zhang Nuo and Yang Huzi spent a great deal of effort to load the several types of items that had restrictions into the flying carriage. Afterward, the two of them cast spells simultaneously to burn the massive "Rare Gold" until nothing remained!

Amidst the sky-high flames, a flying carriage sped away. On the carriage, Yang Huzi kept looking back at the precious materials that had all been destroyed, his heart still aching faintly.

Their actions, while venting their immediate anger, would lead to a grand drama later on where the three great sects would jointly slaughter Yulong and the Great Underworld Mansion would seize the opportunity to occupy the immortal mountain! That is a story for another time and will not be mentioned here.

Returning to the scene: just as Zhang Nuo was slaying Hong Yu Niang and Zhou Zhangbai, on an immortal mountain tens of thousands of miles away, the Taixu Palace Master, Wei Shang, was discussing matters with several Elders of the palace when his expression suddenly shifted, and he felt uneasy! He hurriedly took out a small jade plate filled with twinkling lights from his Storage Bag!

At this moment, on the jade plate, two points of light were flickering with extremely weak radiance, and after a short while, they completely vanished!

"Who is it that dares to scheme against my Taixu Palace! To actually kill two of my Nascent Soul cultivators in succession!"

As soon as Wei Shang spoke these words, the several Elders beside him gasped in unison! In the current Taixu Palace, only two Nascent Soul stage cultivators were not in the palace: Zhou Zhangbai and Hong Yu Niang. These two had been entrusted with the important task of transporting materials from the border towns of the Xianhuan Continent to this newly occupied immortal mountain!

Could it be that something had happened to these two? And what about those materials, which were almost the entire fortune of Taixu Palace? These materials contained many things, especially the materials for setting up arrays and restrictions, which were exactly what Taixu Palace needed most at this time!

"Palace Master!..."

An Elder with a gloomy face was just about to ask something, but was interrupted by Wei Shang. His expression was ugly to the extreme, and he pondered repeatedly in his heart who could possibly have done such a thing!

After thinking for a long time, Wei Shang still had no clue. Taixu Palace was also a significant power on the Xianhuan Continent; which sect would do something so extreme? Wouldn't this be pushing Taixu Palace to a dead end? Since that was the case, if others wouldn't give them a way to live, even if it meant a fight to the death, he would have to battle this sect!

A few days later, Wei Shang finally received news that the people who had slain the two cultivators, Hong and Zhou, were actually Yang Huzi and Zhang Nuo of the Giant Spirit Pavilion, and especially that Zhang Nuo, who was said to have killed both of them single-handedly!

"Zhang Nuo! It's this Zhang Nuo again! I haven't even settled the account with you for killing my son, and you've actually pushed my Taixu Palace to a dead end! Since that's the case, even if I am smashed to pieces, I will fight the Giant Spirit Pavilion!"

In a fit of rage, Wei Shang roared as if he had gone mad! He truly did not understand where he had provoked this little fiend Zhang Nuo. First, he killed his son, and then he destroyed a flying magic tool full of precious materials, making the already difficult-to-defend immortal mountain even more precarious!

The immortal mountain currently occupied by Wei Shang's Taixu Palace was named "Hongjun," the fourth-ranked existence among the thirty-six immortal mountains. This Hongjun Immortal Mountain was of the utmost importance to Taixu Palace; as long as they could gain a foothold here, within a few decades, the entire sect's strength would rise to the level of a super sect!

Yet, everything before him had destroyed such a great opportunity. What Zhang Nuo and Yang Huzi destroyed together was not just some materials, but the hope of Taixu Palace for the last hundred years! Seeing the possibility of becoming a super sect, it had vanished like a flash in the pan, and in the blink of an eye, there was no chance left at all!

Now, around Hongjun Immortal Mountain, there were more than a dozen forces of various sizes, all of which were eyeing this immortal mountain that ranked fourth among the thirty-six!

Across the entire Xianhuan Continent, the top three immortal mountains had not yet been found, so the highest-ranked one currently was "Hongjun Immortal Mountain." How could this not make many powerful forces jealous?

At this very moment, inside the main hall of Yulong Immortal Mountain, Yang Huzi was finding people to break the restrictions on the items obtained from Taixu Palace one by one!

Accompanied by exclamations, even Zhou Huizheng could not believe his eyes. These materials could be said to be worth a fortune; some precious materials were things that even the Giant Spirit Pavilion could not obtain!

"This time, that old ghost Wei is going to be angered to death!"

Yang Huzi reached out and picked up a red ore, saying with a triumphant expression. Don't let the fact that this ore was only the size of a fist fool you; it was a one-of-a-kind treasure. The metal refined from this ore was perfect for forging array-setting implements! Just this small piece was worth at least one thousand High-grade Spirit Stones!

"These things are good! But that old ghost Wei will certainly not let this rest!"

Looking at these things before him, Zhou Huizheng was also very happy, but after a slight turn of thought, a subtle change appeared on his face!

If you throw a punch, you must guard against a kick! Moreover, for the Giant Spirit Pavilion to do this was equivalent to forcing Taixu Palace to a dead end! If Wei Shang really jumped over the wall in desperation, it would not be a good thing for the Giant Spirit Pavilion!

"Pavilion Master, what are you afraid of! Soldiers come, block them; water comes, cover it with earth! Besides, over these past few years, Yulong Immortal Mountain has been managed by us in an orderly fashion. Even if Taixu Palace pours out its entire nest, they might not be able to break in! Furthermore, now that the Purple Mansion Immortal Cave has been discovered by us, I believe that with time, more high-realm cultivators will appear! When that time comes, even if old ghost Wei comes, he won't be able to return!"

Yang Huzi was someone who had always hated evil with a passion; as long as someone had offended him, they could forget about having an easy life!

"That may be so, but we have only just occupied Yulong Immortal Mountain after all!"

Zhou Huizheng was still a bit worried! If this kind of thing had happened to the Giant Spirit Pavilion, he wouldn't have just let it go either!

"The Pavilion Master is right! I think we should take this time to reinforce some of the immortal mountain's restrictions; it is always good to take precautions!"

After Zhang Nuo lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he finally spoke! Half the reason for this matter was also because of him! If something happened to the Giant Spirit Pavilion, it would also have a significant impact on his plans!

"Fourth brother is right! In that case, starting tomorrow, we will use these materials we obtained to reinforce the Mountain Protection Restriction!"

Zhou Huizheng nodded repeatedly. Zhang Nuo had always been cautious and meticulous! Even if the Taixu Palace cultivators didn't come to attack the mountain, doing a little more preparation was worth it!

The three of them discussed the details in depth! Finally, they called Elder Liu Qingshan over, and all matters were handed over to him to handle. Ever since Zhang Nuo had slain Hong Yu Niang, the pent-up anger in his heart had finally been vented quite a bit!

Now, there was still one person he had to eliminate! This person had become a great threat in his heart, comparable to Chi Bilie of the Great Underworld Mansion! If he was not removed, there would always be a knot in his heart that could not be untied, which would also affect his next breakthrough in realm!
