Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 379

[Chapter 379: Taking Advantage of the Situation]

Chapter 379:
A few months later.

Inland sea.

On a sea area.

Fang Xing’s immortal clone stood side by side with the original body, as if silently waiting for something.

Not long after, a beam of light came flying over. It was none other than Gu Zun!
“Daoist Fellow Gu!”

Fang Xing himself spoke first.

“This is Venerable Fang Yun, right?” Venerable Gu greeted him with a smile, and then said to Fang Xing’s immortal clone: “Old Demon Meng has been lured out, and is now preparing to personally take action to wipe out the ‘White Cloud Sect’!”

“Oh? It went so smoothly?”

Fang Xing was slightly surprised.

“Fellow Daoist, you may not know that the Baiyun Sect is a major force in the Inner Sea. Their ancestors produced a Divine Transformation cultivator, and now they have a Great True Lord in charge. There are six ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators… They are so powerful that even several Great True Lords cannot take them down.”

“Meng Lao Mo has cultivated the ‘Yin Ling Divine Power’ and also sacrificed the ‘Thousand Demon Lanterns’. He has a great demand for cultivators’ Nascent Souls.”

“We have released evidence of Baiyun Sect’s betrayal of Wuji Temple… When Old Demon Meng learns of the news, he will surely destroy it with lightning speed… In fact, due to the existence of Baiyun Sect’s fifth-level sect-defending formation, he is likely to take action himself.”

…

The ancient venerable spoke eloquently.

Fang Xing’s eyes moved.

“That Baiyun Sect is most likely a force set up by you, or secretly instigated by you… and now you’re selling it out.”

‘Is this the bottom line for immortal cultivators?’

However, Fang Xing only complained in his heart.

On the surface, he was still very happy to accept the jade map, and then he and his original body turned into two streams of light and left.

…

The ancient venerable stood silently and waited for a long time.

“Those two people have gone thousands of miles away, so it’s impossible for them to monitor this place with their spiritual sense… I’ve also checked with the ‘Two Worlds Banner’, and there’s nothing we can do here.”

After a long time, a young voice suddenly sounded nearby.

A monk in white robes appeared from the void, holding a small silver banner in his hand.

It is vaguely similar to the ‘Two Worlds Banner’ that Gong Feiyun once took out, but the power of the void on it is incomparably stronger.

It was obviously not a replica, but the treasure of Piaomiao Palace!
“Junior Brother Jin…”

Gu Zun stared at the Two Worlds Banner in Jin Zun’s hand and said, “This time, we brought out the foundation of our sect. I don’t know if it was right or wrong… Without this sixth-level Two Worlds Banner to suppress it, the power of our Two Worlds Sumeru Dust Formation will be greatly reduced.”

“Hmph, even if its power drops to the fifth level, it is enough to resist ordinary Divine Transformation cultivators.”

Junior Brother Jin was full of confidence: “With Senior Brother Gu and I’s abilities, and with the ability to control this Two Worlds Banner, we can be sure to escape unscathed even if we encounter a Heavenly Venerable in the late stage of Spiritualization… In the upcoming battle, safety is the most important thing.”

When this was mentioned, Gu Zunzun immediately stopped talking.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: “Are you sure… Senior Brother Yu’s matter is related to that Venerable Fang Yun?”

“Whether or not he is related, the Yuanshen Sword Sect was destroyed, and the other party was the only survivor… and he obtained the Lingkong Sword Scripture and passed it on to the Venerable Mingkun…”

Junior Brother Jin said: “He got the biggest benefit, so he is naturally the most suspicious… Now that he is willing to fight with Old Demon Meng, it is obvious that his strength is unfathomable, and he may have a trump card. With the help of the ‘Two Worlds Banner’, we can protect ourselves, so we can try to watch the battle or even take action!”

“That’s right. If we can make them both lose, we can reap the benefits. Why not do it?”

The ancient venerable nodded.

Reverend Jin immediately made hand gestures and muttered something.

Silver runes flew out from the banner of the two worlds and enveloped the two venerables in the blink of an eye.

The two venerables’ figures immediately disappeared into the void…

…

Baiyun Gate.

In the center of the island where this gate is located, there is a towering mountain range.

The mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, which faintly gather into the shape of a coiled dragon.

At this time, the giant white cloud dragon roared towards the sky, and the terrifying magical power fluctuations continued to spread around.

It was clearly the mountain protection formation being fully activated.

But the next moment, the giant white cloud dragon let out a wail, and countless white clouds dissipated bit by bit. In the end, only thin wisps were left, revealing a jade-like building below.

Several streams of light flew out, and they were actually several Yuanying Zhenjun from Baiyun Sect.

But now, they all looked frightened, looking at the black-robed figure in front of them.

“Meng Tianzun?”

In the palm of the black-robed figure’s hand, there was an unconscious Nascent Soul, and it turned out to be none other than Baiyun Sect’s supreme elder, the Great Master Baicang, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage!

“Old Demon Meng… Oops, the formation’s foundation has been broken, hurry up and leave!”

An old-looking Yuanying Zhenjun roared, waking up many disciples who seemed to be in a dream.

The Baiyun Sect has a profound heritage. Relying on a great true master and the fifth-level intermediate-grade ‘Baiyun Canglong Formation’ handed down from ancestors, it can persist for a long time even when encountering an attack from a spirit-transforming cultivator.

But the old demon Meng actually sneaked into the formation, first attacked the great master Baicang, and then destroyed several foundations of the formation.

By now, all the resistance of Baiyun Sect has been destroyed, with only a few Yuanying Zhenjun left, who can hardly pose a threat at all.

“Meng Tianzun, our Baiyun Sect has always been respectful…”

A female True Lord forced a smile: “Even if the Great True Lord is wrong, we admit it and are willing to make amends for our crimes…”

Whoosh!
Before he finished speaking, a black light flashed by.

Then, the female Zhenjun stared blankly at her chest, only to see a pitch-black ghost claw that had pierced through her body and grabbed a white and tender female Yuanying.

“Since I am here, there is no need to say more. You and your friends will not even be able to enter the Palace of Sin.”

Old Demon Meng looked at the Nascent Soul of Great Master Baicang in his hand, a hint of satisfaction emerged on his face, and then he made a hand gesture.

A bronze lamp appeared in his hand, and countless rope-like runes appeared on the surface of the Nascent Soul in his hand, binding the Nascent Soul tightly and then falling into the center of the lamp.

This is a secret treasure refining technique from Wuji Palace’s “Nine Strategies of the Heavenly Demon”.

As long as there are enough Nascent Souls, one can easily cultivate to the fifth level, and even have a certain effect of warding off lightning.

“Damn it, this old devil won’t let me live, let’s fight him.”

In an instant, the magic power of the few remaining Yuanying Zhenjuns surged, and each of them turned into strange light and fled in all directions.

“hehe……”

When Demon Meng saw this scene, he smiled slightly and waved his hand casually.

Splash!
Above the sky, a dark “lake” appeared at some point!
In the lake was the liquid spiritual power of heaven and earth.

Under the control of the old demon Meng, it was like a dam collapsing, and endless black water gushed out, instantly “flooding” the Baiyun Sect!
Whether it was the Yuanying Zhenjun, or the Qi training and foundation building disciples… Under the dark lake water, all the protective treasures and spells melted away, and then before they could even scream, their bodies turned into ashes.

Occasionally, there were flashes of silver-white light, and several Yuanying were forced out of the void, but they found that they had not gone far away from the Black Lake. They were wrapped in the lake water and turned into several black water balls, falling in front of the old demon Meng.

With a casual wave of his hand, Demon Meng put the black water balls into his sleeves, and then stood in the air, as if silently waiting for something.

“Hey hey… come out!”

He suddenly spoke.

Then, a flash of sword appeared in the distant sky.

Before the sword rang out, two figures were already standing opposite the old demon Meng. They were Fang Xing’s real body and his immortal clone.

“Venerable Ming Kun, and the fifth-level physical cultivators who are besieging my second Yuan Shen.”

The old demon Meng smiled and said, “Good! Very good… You all came to my door, saving me from having to go to Mingkun Island again. Where are the Gu Zun and Jin Zun? If I catch you all in one fell swoop, the Hanhai cultivation world will be almost pacified.”

“Oh? So, old demon Meng, you are going to take advantage of my trick?”

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows.

“Hehe… I have lived for thousands of years and have seen all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. I can tell what they are just by smelling them, even if there is no hard evidence…”

Dark light flashed in the eyes of the old demon Meng, and he glanced at Fang Xing and his immortal clone: “The two-world Xumi dust formation of Piaomiao Immortal Palace is indeed difficult to break, but as long as there is no one in charge of the formation, it is not a big deal…”

“You are really confident. Do you think that no one can defeat you with your level of cultivation?”

Fang Xing was slightly startled, then said.

With the cultivation level at the late stage of Spirit Transformation, he is indeed almost invincible in the Qianyuan Realm.

If he was carrying a sixth-level treasure and was determined to leave, even the powerful beings who descended to the world might not be able to stay!
Meng Lao Mo had fought countless battles in his life, so he might indeed have such confidence.

“so……”

Fang Xing’s expression changed and he looked in a certain direction.

…

A silver light flashed in the void, and Venerable Gu and Venerable Jin appeared in a somewhat embarrassed manner, looking at the old demon Meng in front of them and a dark magic palace in the other’s hand.

“The Wuji Demon Palace?”

Reverend Jin looked at the treasure in the hands of Old Demon Meng with great fear, which was as famous as the ‘Two Worlds Banner’.

And the ancient venerable frowned slightly: “Old Demon Meng, you actually cultivated a second soul? How is this possible?”

The more powerful the clone or second soul is, the more difficult it will be to cultivate again after it is destroyed.

And it has only been a few years since the battle at the gate of the Yuanshen Sword Sect?
“Hehe… the foundation of my Wuji Palace is beyond your imagination… I have recovered easily by just taking the inner pill of a ‘Six-Eyed Sky Demon Spider’.”

The old demon Meng laughed strangely, and the Wuji Demon Palace in his hand expanded suddenly, as if to include this whole world in the dark demon palace.

“Junior Brother Jin, this demon’s second soul has not yet fully recovered, and now it is only at the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit.”

The ancient venerable’s expression changed: “You and I will join forces and kill this demon’s second soul here with the Two Worlds Banner… and then we will clean up the battlefield.”

“As expected… you also think those two are hiding something, or even have the power to threaten me?”

The old demon Meng narrowed his eyes slightly, “It’s worth it for me to use my true body to deal with them… But Yu Tianzun’s death is probably related to the foundation of the Yuanshen Sword Sect. An early stage of the Spiritualization and a fifth-level physical cultivator, even if they have some of the Sword Sect’s foundation, I’m afraid they can’t threaten me. Once I kill those two people, their lives and the Two Realms Banner will be accepted by me…”

Obviously, the mission of Meng Lao Mo’s second soul is just to delay the two gods of Piaomiao Immortal Palace.

With his cultivation and treasures, this is not a difficult thing.

This recent battle may very likely determine the future of the entire vast sea of immortal cultivation!
