Chapter 187

"Jiang Yu, there are still seven suns." Lu Ruochan reminded her not to rush the teleport, but the person also leapt up along with it.

Next came Lin Yuan, who had a premonition that, with Jiang Yu leading, he would no longer be trapped here and there, and could find some good treasures.

"Why are you all in such a hurry?" Xia Bing also leapt up, and Xu Wu was even more unwilling to be left behind.

Jiang Yu only smiled without replying; after all, she had already said what needed to be said, and she was not an invincible prodigy of the same rank, so she didn't need others to follow her steps.

Among the remaining people, the clever ones also climbed up to take positions; those who hadn't jumped onto the teleport array only realized it after the array base was filled with ten personnel.

The teleport array might be a one‑time use.

"Brother Jiang, could you leave some of the earlier array diagrams for us?" a Xuan Tian Sect disciple who had been hesitating and hadn't jumped finally asked.

Jiang Yu nodded, "High‑grade superior array is worth eighty thousand spirit stones; the diagrams are half price. How many copies do you want?"

The crowd: What a swindler, whoever buys all your diagrams will go bankrupt.

Yet Xia Bing strongly agreed: "As everyone knows, out there, high‑price array diagrams cost the same as the array plates."

The Lingxu Sect members complained, "Brother Jiang, dozens of copies mean millions of spirit stones; do you think we have that many?"

"I allow you to trade for whatever is on Immortal Crane." Jiang Tu blurted out, as if bestowing a blessing.

Yet a crowd dared to act but not speak, which made the few who had already jumped onto the teleport array feel a secret joy.

Not for any other reason, they simply enjoyed watching the self‑proclaimed first and second disciples of the Dao sect get humbled.

"I can accept you all, exchanging array for array.

As long as it's any diagram of the Immortal Crane Mountain array plates, I can exchange for anything I don't have." Jiang Yu hadn't taken all the plates at that time; although half had been taken by the Eastern Continent people, many of the twenty or so foundation cultivators before her had also seized a good number.

The group of foundation cultivators, after hearing, some pondered individually, others discussed together.

Then Lin Yuan said, "The seventh sun will set in just over an hour."

They quickly reached consensus, duplicated a diagram of the array plates they had seized, and handed it to Jiang Yu for further cooperation.

With the help of temporary allies, Jiang Yu swiftly copied dozens of her own array diagrams and delivered them.

When the seventh sun set, she and the people on the array base immediately inserted superior spirit stones into the spirit‑stone recesses.

Bzzzz

As the formation activated, Jiang Tu instantly flashed into the Dragon Orb; a glow enveloped the entire teleport array, and in a flash everyone had left the spot.

The remaining foundation cultivators stared wide‑eyed as the teleport light vanished, yet the teleport array remained where it was.

"We're out of luck." a Lingxu Sect disciple said, holding several diagrams; everyone had essentially handed over the special arrays they had seized to Jiang Yu.

The demons of the Mo Men nearby quickly seized positions; after all, only ten could stand at a time, and they still had nineteen.

As a result, others refused to be the last batch; conflict erupted instantly, and the more intense the scramble, the harsher the fighting became.

Even if one or two tried to reason, they couldn't stop it.

It began with only spiritual force plus punches and kicks, but later, some clever fool released a fireball talisman to block others, accidentally blasting a corner of the array base.

With a "Crunch!" the array base split open a crack.

"Bastard! Everyone stop, now no one can leave." a Xuan Tian Sect disciple shouted furiously; he now understood why every Dao‑Demon war ends in chaos.

Now everyone has their own ideas, and when this first‑gate direct disciple speaks, no one listens.

But Jiang Yu can keep the advantage! She decided to return and also contract a great demon to press the others.

She didn't know where they had teleported, scavenging for treasure, moving step by step slowly.

And Jiang Yu also didn't know where she had landed; the people beside her were clearly standing close, yet upon entering this gray‑hazy area, she was instantly left alone.

Wait, there's another one; she instantly activated several defenses on her body, her whole aura flashing, "Jiang Tu, my spiritual sense is limited again, only ten zhang visible. How about you?"

"Don't mention it, this cursed place I can't even get out of; the Dragon Tablet can only see a few zhang around you.

"Jiang Yu, when we leave this place, take all the supplies in the space onto yourself." Jiang Tu was extremely frustrated; as the son of the Dragon King, he stubbornly refused to let it affect his pride.

"Can't teleport now?" Jiang Yu thought, tried to send a spirit stone into the Dragon Orb, and indeed it wouldn't enter.

As she was about to explain a sentence or two, she suddenly felt a chill behind her, and her body instinctively leapt away.

She saw that the spot she had just stood on now showed a pair of sharp claws, and after missing, they lunged again toward her face.

"Watch out, blast it!" Jiang Tu suddenly stood upright in front of the Dragon Tablet.

Indeed, the opponent's nails were too long and sharp, about a foot, and Jiang Yu was almost pierced in the back of the head.

Jiang Yu couldn't let it get close; a thunder bamboo fan flew out, and with a crackle, lightning lashed like a long whip.

The owner of the long claws, upon seeing the lightning, tried to flee immediately.

Yet Jiang Yu had already, as the lightning flew out, flashed like a phantom behind the claws, launched several fire talismans, and together with the incoming lightning, formed a closed loop that exploded instantly.

"Screech!" a wail rang out; the moment the sharp‑clawed owner appeared, he was swept away by the thunder‑fire.

Pat!

A gray, soybean‑sized ash ball fell to the ground.

Jiang Yu instinctively tried to fire another fireball, but Jiang Tu shouted in time, "Soul Pearl, just like the one the old man of Xuan Hall hides.

This might be a ghostly domain of the Cave Heaven; quickly withdraw your light shield."

"Soul Pearl is a great thing! Only in the later stages of foundation can it condense.

My defensive light shield just lures enemies." Jiang Yu's spiritual power surged, and she used fire spirit power to seize the Soul Pearl on the ground.

As she turned, a strand of spiritual sense probed in, another wail sounded, and until the soul inside the pearl was extinguished, she sealed the Soul Pearl into a jade box.

Jiang Tu kept watch around her, "Be careful not to slip; this should be a Yin‑extreme place, with ghost cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage."

"They aren't fully human ghost cultivators." When Jiang Yu just destroyed that thing, she saw a monster face with pointed ears and cheekbones.

"After a demon dies, it may also turn to the ghost path.

"Every time the Great Luo Cave Heaven opens, batches of demons die; if their souls drift here, they first begin a frenzy of devouring each other…" Jiang Tu thought it was chilling; who designed a cave heaven that makes demons die over and over?

Jiang Yu couldn't concern herself with its thoughts; she only walked forward ten‑plus zhang, and when her spiritual eye technique reached its limit, she saw a shadow swooping down from mid‑air.

Without hesitation, she struck first, leaping ten‑plus zhang, and three fire talismans slammed out instantly.

Cry!

A huge Peng bird soul appeared, and it dodged swiftly, with only the tips of its wings burned.

It circled in the air, then rushed toward Jiang Yu again, with gusts of yin wind mixed between its wings.

As the blast blew Jiang Yu straight back, it lunged forward recklessly.

Unfortunately, the bird's claws hadn't yet reached the protective light shield when Jiang Yu's bronze mirror atop her head shone on its form.

A large amount of yin wind was bounced back by the mirror, and before the bird soul could react, Jiang Yu rapidly flicked her fingers.

Several small fireballs flew toward the soul, boom boom boom, just as they were about to take effect, Jiang Yu felt something stirring beneath her feet.
