Chapter 298: Subduing the Secret Treasure and Making a Clean Getaway

Gongliang City...

The purple light, which had initially expanded to fill the heavens and earth, had gradually condensed and compressed, turning into a massive gemstone.

This purple gemstone was the size of a small hill, suppressing the ground beneath it.

The Baile Tianluo, this clan-protecting treasure, took effect the moment it was deployed, suppressing Kaibeishou Yan Ping on the spot.

The surrounding submissive charms, as if having lost their backbone, knelt on the ground without moving, letting the cold wind brush past them.

The overall situation was settled!

Xu Baigui's eyes were somewhat eager; although he hadn't made a move, he could not let the Qi Family swallow the spoils of this time alone.

"Worthy nephew, to avoid long delays, let me lend you a hand, and together we shall escort Yan Ping back."

He had to participate in this; if he did not get involved now, the Xu Family would not be able to get a hand in the subsequent division of spoils.

Qi Fengxiao was like a fighting cock guarding its food; without a second thought, he refused flatly, "No need to trouble you, Uncle Xu."

What a joke; he had shouldered such great risk and used the clan-protecting treasure to finally capture the target, how could he let the other party take a share.

The scheming between the two great noble families could be seen in these few simple lines of dialogue.

There were too many secrets on Yan Ping, regarding the inside story of the Golden Immortal Dao, as well as the opportunity for his strength to skyrocket in such a short time, and so on.

Once these secrets were unearthed, they would be extremely important to the noble families.

It had only just ended, and both sides had already started fighting over the division of spoils, putting on a good show.

Xu Baigui considered himself a generation higher than Qi Fengxiao and said with a straight face, "Worthy nephew, listen to your uncle's advice; the Golden Immortal Dao involves too much, you cannot handle it alone, let me take over."

"Uncle Xu, the Qi Family has many elders; with them keeping watch, I am at ease!"

"Worthy nephew, do you really not want my help? Be careful that the net isn't secure, letting Yan Ping escape, and you end up with nothing but a bamboo basket to draw water."

The two traded verbal blows, neither willing to retreat even half a step, and the smell of gunpowder gradually grew stronger! Wang Jianxiong and the other martial masters silently observed the Baile Tianluo, comparing it to their own strength; if they were to encounter this treasure, they would have absolutely no chance of escaping.

A treasure made from Strong Martial Remains was simply overwhelming when dealing with the martial master level.

No wonder Xu Baigui and Qi Fengxiao were at ease competing; they were not worried at all that Yan Ping would break free.

Unless Yan Ping also had a treasure made from a Strong Martial Golden Body to tear through the restraints of the Baile Tianluo, it would be impossible to escape.

Was that possible? Legend had it that the main material used for the hair in this Baile Tianluo of the Qi Family came from a Strong Martial Golden Body of the Qiangwu Qichongtian.

As everyone knew, for the Qiangwu Jiuzhongtian, every step was a new heaven.

The implication was that the gap in strength between the small realms of one heaven was equivalent to a world of difference.

To break through a Qichongtian golden body, one would need a Strong Martial Golden Body of the eighth or ninth heaven level, or a matching charm treasure.

When Zhou You was enveloped by the Baile Tianluo, he had initially thought about cancelling this projection to escape.

The projection function of the panel was too shocking; once displayed in full view of everyone, it would certainly be impossible to explain, and this persona would be considered ruined; once used, it was highly likely to invite disaster.

Therefore, the projection was a last resort, a final trump card.

He reached out and tugged at this net; as the purple light twisted, the large net bulged outward, the texture soft and yielding, not appearing to have much of a threat.

His heart sank; the force in his hand was like a stone sinking into the sea, having absolutely no effect at all.

Then came the Ice Marrow Finger, a powerful killing move, which also failed to scratch even a bit of the Baile Tianluo's surface.

A Strong Martial Golden Body, truly living up to its reputation! Suddenly, he remembered that he also had one; although it was only a fingernail, it was a genuine Strong Martial Jiuzhongtian.

There were only nine heavens in total for the Strong Martial, and the level of this fingernail was the ceiling; no matter how sturdy this net was, it wouldn't be able to withstand being sliced by that fingernail! Zhou You immediately took the fingernail out from his bosom and glanced at the scene outside. Qi Fengxiao and Xu Baigui were still arguing over the ownership of 'him' and did not notice what he was doing at all.

Perhaps, in their hearts, any struggle from Zhou You was futile, destined to be unable to break free from the restraints of the Baile Tianluo.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Zhou You held the fingernail outward and swiped it across a line of the net's grid.

The Baile Tianluo was primarily made of hair from a Strong Martial Golden Body, processed using various precious and top-tier rare materials.

Just the Charm Cores of latent charms alone had consumed at least 10.

The layer of shimmering purple light on the surface was made by melting pure gold into water and repeatedly refining it into the net to enhance the defense of the Tianluo.

Even if the owner of the hair wanted to tear this large net apart, it was not something that could be done in a short time.

However... the moment the fingernail touched the net line, there was no resistance, no rebound; it was as smooth and easy as cutting through butter.

The thread snapped, the grid split, and the fist-sized hole that was torn open instantly expanded.

Zhou You drilled out of the net without hesitation, subconsciously reaching out to grab it, then realized, why can't I control this hand of mine!

The Baile Tianluo was crumpled into a ball and squeezed in his palm!

The breeze blew all around, the whistling sound incomparably clear, because the scene was too quiet.

Qi Fengxiao and Xu Baigui also stopped their argument, staring at Zhou You in a daze; how did he get out? The clan-protecting treasure, the Baile Tianluo, had actually been escaped from.

Although this treasure was a net, the mesh could expand and contract at will, enveloping enemies so that not even an ant could crawl out.

The net was broken, and it was even being held in the hand of 'Yan Ping'.

"You... you let go quickly."

Qi Fengxiao looked at Zhou You's hand, his soul so frightened it almost drilled out of the top of his head.

Zhou You laughed out loud twice, feeling his throat a bit dry; it had been too dangerous just now, almost becoming a prisoner at the mercy of others.

So what if it's a clan-protecting treasure, I insist on snatching it away, as the price for you taking the initiative to provoke me!

He said viciously, "I won't, I'll gladly accept this thing."

After speaking, without a second word, his other hand grabbed the 'Senior Brother' on the ground, "You bunch of idiots, you've fallen into Kunpengzi's scheme without even knowing it; the day of your destruction is not far off."

"This trip was not in vain, full of harvest; don't bother seeing me off, go play with these little cuties."

The next moment, Zhou You channeled the power of the Bewitching Seal Script, and the charms that had originally been kneeling in submission all raised their heads and stood up in unison.

Oh no!

Everyone present broke out in a cold sweat; the charms were about to riot.

Sure enough, once the charms lost the power of the Seal Script to control them, they reverted to their true nature and began to launch slaughters and attacks against the nearby living, immediately swarming them and the other martial artists.

The Xu Family and the Qi Family were no exception; like small boats in a storm, they suffered from a saturated and excessive dense siege.

"Qi Family martial artists, hear my order: charge to the death! If you cannot keep Yan Ping here or retrieve the clan-protecting treasure, none of you need think about staying alive."

Qi Fengxiao roared hoarsely and incessantly, the veins on his forehead bulging; he was truly panicked.

The charms surged over like a tide, and though they were knocked away or blown apart one after another by the family martial masters, there were simply too many of them, like layer upon layer of walls, and they could not fight their way out no matter what.

He could only watch in despair as Zhou You took flight from where he stood, his speed unaffected even while carrying a person, moving with incredible swiftness until he gradually shrank in his field of vision and finally disappeared at the edge of his sight.

It is over, completely over! (End of chapter)
