"Fang Han, there is a situation!"
Long Xuan was the first to react. She knew that Fang Han was at the most critical moment of refining the Five Hells King Cauldron, how could they not be strictly on guard? As early as when the first sword qi long rainbow appeared on the horizon, she was already startled awake, stood up fiercely, released the Cold Hornless Dragon Sword, and set up a thin layer of mist in an area of one or two acres in the sky.
Do not look down on this piece of mist; it was the Ice Soul Divine Mist. As long as a person was slightly contaminated by it, their entire body would immediately freeze into ice crystals, and they would die from the cold qi attacking their heart. Having cultivated to the Divine Ability Realm now, and cultivating the "Myriad Water Divine Art," her utilization of the Cold Hornless Dragon Sword was becoming increasingly appropriate.
"What? Who is it? Could it be that Cang Baizi has not given up his evil designs? And gathered others to kill me? It doesn't seem like Cang Baizi! Who is it? Pity my experience is insufficient, I cannot tell which sect the incoming person's sword light routines belong to."
Fang Han was also startled awake. He divided a portion of his spirit and looked up at the sky. Sure enough, he saw piercing sword qi and crisscrossing magic power; the incomers were not few in number. Each and every one of them was a profound individual of the Divine Ability Realm, yet they didn't seem like Cang Baizi's group. He could not distinguish them either, but subsequently, Long Xuan provided him with the answer.
"That is the sword light of the Taiyi Sect! The flying swords of the Taiyi Sect are generally Taiyi Light-Dividing Swords, which can differentiate sword light and turn swords into silk, being incredibly formidable! Why would the people from the Taiyi Sect seek us out? It seems that those who have come have ill intentions, and those with good intentions have not come." Long Xuan's insight was more profound than Fang Han's, recognizing the clues from the sword light.
"Taiyi Sect!"
Fang Han was about to utilize his divine abilities, but a wave of exhaustion hit his mind. He felt dizzy and heavy-headed, his upper and lower eyelids fighting each other. He had a feeling of wanting to sleep and rest; it was an extreme state of sleepiness where he could fall asleep the moment he closed his eyes.
This was because his magic power had been consumed too drastically.
Physical stamina was stored in the physical body, while magic power was stored in the mind, being a massive force! Once the consumption became severe, a person would become dizzy and heavy-headed, and might even lose consciousness and fall into a coma. This was entirely equivalent to prostration.
Currently, due to refining the "Five Hells King Cauldron," Fang Han's magic power had been practically ninety-nine percent consumed. He would need to rest for a day to recover. Let alone crossing hands with others, even getting up to fly would be somewhat difficult.
"Despicable! Looting a burning house! But I cannot let them succeed. Fortunately, I have Magic Crystals! This time I will have to endure the pain. Pity, I still wanted to take the Magic Crystal stones to the Ever-returning Sea Market to exchange for various medicinal materials!" Fang Han knew that the situation was urgent at this moment and did not allow for the slightest delay. With a stir of his mind, the Magic Crystal jade stones stored in the Yellow Spring Diagram secretly flew out, and streams of pure magic power were absorbed out, nourishing his dried-up mind.
"Bang bang bang…", bang bang bang!
One Magic Crystal jade stone after another produced cracks and turned into ordinary stones because the magic power contained within them was sucked dry, all becoming useless. This bout of absorption fully wasted all of Fang Han's remaining inventory before his mind became clear and spirited. Out of the supplemented magic power, he recovered ninety percent of his strength, and the drowsy sleepiness also disappeared.
This was because Fang Han's magic power was currently too vigorous, making it difficult to supplement. If he had not used the Shift Flower Connect Wood technique to obtain the magic power of the Black Water King Snake, he indeed would not have needed to use so many Magic Crystal jade stones.
Seeing all the Magic Crystal jade stones he had stored cracking piece by piece and turning into ordinary stones, Fang Han felt as if flesh was being cut from his heart.
"Various Taiyi Sect disciples, what noble business brings you to this deserted island? I am the Yuhua Sect true disciple Long Xuan. The Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao share mutual offense and defense; not only does well water not intrude upon river water, but when encountering demons and devils, we must also lend a helping hand to each other. You all come with a menacing momentum, what is this for?" Long Xuan's body floated up, wrapped in the cold mist. Standing in the air, she looked at the sword lights pausing in the sky.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
First, three sword lights paused. Between heaven and earth, Geng metal qi was everywhere. Within the sword qi, three cultivators wearing Eight Trigrams purple gold Dao robes appeared. The eyes of these three cultivators were like gemstones, emitting crystal-clear light in the dark night, displaying the formidability of their physical bodies.
With a slight look, Fang Han actually felt that speaking of the physical body alone, these three people seemed even more formidable than his own Yama Golden Body. Although the magic power of an expert in the Divine Ability Realm was strong, their physical body still had limitations. Unless they had cultivated some special physical body tempering dharma methods.
However, special physical body tempering dharma methods were secret transmissions in every major sect. Unless one was a true disciple who had made special contributions, or had connections within the sect, they were very difficult to learn.
His own "Yama Golden Body" could currently reverse the strength of thirty galloping fiery horses, six times that of an ordinary physical body tenth realm Divine Transformation expert. But the physical body auras of these three people were even stronger than his, which was terrifying.
"Taiyi Sect true disciple, Yao Dian!"
"Taiyi Sect true disciple, Xia You!"
"Taiyi Sect true disciple, Yu Fen!"
Seeing Long Xuan, the three cultivators had sharp gazes like celestial envoys, looking down from above without the slightest trace of emotion, and reported their names. For an instant, Fang Han had a feeling as if he was facing imperial envoys sent down by the emperor to proclaim an edict in the secular world!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Just as the voices of these three cultivators fell, a large batch of disciples behind them also arrived riding sword lights, neat and tidy, meticulously following behind them. Their formations were orderly, without a trace of chaos, just like an army. At a glance, one could see the sect rules were strict and the atmosphere solemn! Lacking the carefree and lazy aura of the Yuhua Sect.
In immortal dao sects, disciples were generally lazy and carefree, unfettered, each doing their own business, without the etiquette and rules of the secular world, otherwise, how could it be called the immortal dao?
But the Taiyi Sect seemed to do the exact opposite, completely contrary to the carefree laziness of the immortal dao. Yet it made Fang Han feel a chill in his heart as he watched.
"Three true disciples, what noble business do you have?" Long Xuan said coldly.
"In the Evil Ghost Gorge, you exterminated the maritime great thief and demon head, the Target Island Master, and seized one of his supreme treasure artifacts, the Five Hells King Cauldron great pill furnace. This pill furnace is an item of the Five Hells Great Heavenly Demonic King from eight hundred years ago, refined by blood sacrificing the lives of three hundred and sixty-five demonic kings, using Nine Heavens Meteoric Iron, Five Qi True Steel, Seven-Colored Divine Stone, Blood Shadow Wraith, Eight Extremes Divine Wood, and Great Earth Breathing Soil. Back then, this Five Hells Great Heavenly Demon stirred up chaos in the mortal world, was slashed open and wounded by my Taiyi Sect's Eldest Senior Brother Kun Yangzi, and fled. During these eight hundred years, his lifespan reached its end, his qi dispersed and his arts dissipated. This demonic treasure thus fell into the hands of an evil demon. Now it must be brought back to the Taiyi Sect, lest the demonic treasure be left to wander and harm the mortal world!"
That Taiyi Sect true disciple named Yao Dian said without carrying the slightest emotion.
"You all must have seen wrong! We certainly did not obtain any Five Hells King Cauldron." Long Xuan did not even blink an eye.
"Junior Brother Zhang Wei!" Yao Dian did not bother speaking with Long Xuan, but merely called out. Immediately, a disciple stood out from behind him; it was exactly that "Senior Brother Zhang" who had emitted the One Word Cloud Pierce Arrow, but in front of these three great true disciples, he became a junior brother.
"I never thought that a dignified Yuhua Sect true disciple would also tell a pack of lies. Just now, I saw it clearly; the people of your Yuhua Sect even had internal strife to snatch this King Cauldron. How did that Everless Island Master die? Where is Cang Baizi?" Zhang Wei laughed heartily: "To tell you the truth, I was hiding on the side using a Heaven-evading Talisman. With the Dao arts of your Yuhua Sect, naturally you would not discover the profound mystery of this Heaven-evading Talisman."
Hearing these words, Long Xuan's expression changed, never expecting to actually be seen by the people of the Taiyi Sect.
"Junior Brother Zhang! You may step down." This true disciple Xia You waved his hand, then said: "The Five Hells King Cauldron is an implement of the demonic sect, not the conduct of the immortal dao. It is unsuitable for the disciples of the Yuhua Sect to use, and even harder to refine; it still must be brought back to be destroyed. You also do not need to worry that we will line our own pockets and use this demonic implement; if so, the very first sect rule would hardly tolerate us! According to my Taiyi Sect's sect rules, any disciple who cultivates demonic arts or uses demonic implements shall have all their Dao arts abolished and be reduced to a mortal!"
"Your Yuhua Sect is also a sect of the immortal dao; I hope you will not privately stash demonic implements and ruin the reputation of the immortal dao. I remember, during the last Myriad Immortals Assembly, the Eldest Senior Brother of your Yuhua Sect, Hua Tiandu, once said that he wanted to draw a clear line with the demonic sect. Please hand over the demonic implement, or you can accompany us back to the Taiyi Sect and publicly destroy it, which is also fine." Another true disciple, Yu Fen, interjected.
