The "Zhu Xian Bandit," who had cultivated a mysterious Buddhist technique, actually intercepted Fang Han's side all by herself. Demanding the "Great Brahma Light Ship" could be described as extremely arrogant, as well as extremely mysterious.
Originally, against the "Zhu Xian Bandit" alone, Fang Han did not need any helpers to kill this Golden Core expert in a one-on-one fight. With the Blood Night King, plus the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability which had already achieved minor success and formed the five elements circulation "Five Emperors Great Seal," and the Yellow Springs Map that had opened the "Gate of Avici."
With a three-pronged approach, killing a Golden Core expert, while not exactly a piece of cake, would definitely be successful.
However, Fang Han unexpectedly did not move, only quietly looking at the other party. Because he could feel that since the other party adopted such a posture, she clearly came prepared. The ranked second figure among the dignified Forty Bandits was definitely not a foolish person. But he used his divine sense to scan the surroundings, yet did not find any movement.
Precisely because he did not find any movement, it made him feel terrified in his heart.
"Hahahahahaha!" After being silent for a while, Fang Han suddenly burst into loud laughter: "The dignified Zhu Xian Bandit is actually waylaying and robbing a minor Heaven and Human Realm expert like me, if word gets out, aren't you afraid people will laugh. I bought the Great Brahma Light Ship, I didn't expect you to actually know about it, it seems from beginning to end I have never shaken you off."
"Of course I know, I also know that you can manufacture Nascent Soul Pills in large quantities, and the quality is several times higher than even the Taiyi Sect. Therefore you buy things unscrupulously, and even Meng Shaobai, who obtained the inheritance of the ancient number one killing path, the Lifeless Sword Sect, is not your match. However, the internal fighting in your Yuhua Sect is also truly fierce. Of course, talents are also emerging one by one, it really makes me envious."
The "Zhu Xian Bandit" stood up on a primeval ancient tree, with a faint smile, staring at Fang Han and sizing him up and down. She actually knew Fang Han's background!
"Hehe, I knew long ago, how could my identity be concealed from the investigations of the overseas Forty Bandits?" Fang Han chuckled. He understood in his heart that he had distributed Nascent Soul Pills on a massive scale in the Yuhua Sect, had once defeated the six great true persons of the Taiyi Sect, killed the Seven Leaves Demon Lord, and had even defeated Wan Luo in front of many disciples.
Any single one of these actions was enough to make one's reputation rise rapidly and become famous.
He had never thought that his illusory identity could be concealed from others, but because he was in the Great Xuan Empire, he still had to hide a little to avoid attracting attention, otherwise if the Taiyi Sect people found him, conflicts would inevitably occur.
"It seems you are also not bad, knowing that we are the Forty Bandits." The woman, Zhu Xian Bandit, stretched out a finger and waved it: "Originally, that Young Master Ling hired us to kill you. You escaped once, and we should have just let it go. However, you actually have a Great Emperor talisman like the Yellow Springs Map on your body, then we have no choice but to come and kill you."
"Stop talking nonsense. Whatever ambush you have, bring it all out. A thousand words, ten thousand words, it all comes down to drawing blood with blades." Fang Han's voice was cold and stern: "If you are alone, then today there is only a path to death."
"Giggling…" The Zhu Xian Bandit laughed lightly and flew up. As she flew, lotus flowers automatically appeared under her feet, forming a lotus platform: "Of course it's not just me. You are also not just by yourself, you invited Venerable Gu Meng of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, and Fairy Lian Yun of the Linglong Blessed Land, and by your side there is also Baby Nebula, the junior sect master of the Myriad Stars Sect. You possess three Dao artifacts in total, but only two can exert their functions, that Yellow Springs Map is already damaged. Am I wrong? Regarding your strength, our estimation will not have any errors, otherwise how would we come to capture you?"
"Bang!" Bang! Bang!
Hearing the words of the "Zhu Xian Bandit," three beams of light rushed into the sky from Fang Han's body. They were precisely Venerable Gu Meng, Baby Nebula, and Fairy Lian Yun.
Fang Han's face was gloomy and cold. He let these people hide precisely to ambush the three bandits, but he did not expect these three thieves to have such great energy, actually being able to infiltrate the interior of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion and know the information about him hiring experts.
"Fortunately, the Yellow Springs Map has opened the Gate of Avici, and its power has greatly increased. It is entirely comparable to the combined forces of the Sun Moon Five Stars Bracelet and the Blood Night King. They don't know this, and just this point is enough to allow me to turn the tables." Fang Han calculated again in his heart… He was not panicked at all. Originally he prepared to kill the three bandits and seize their Golden Cores. Since the plan was now unfeasible, settling for the next best thing and escaping was possible.
"Venerable Gu Meng, as a Divine Ability ninth layer expert, you have hope for the Longevity Secret Realm. There is no need for you to wade into these muddy waters." The Zhu Xian Bandit seemed to have some dread towards Venerable Gu Meng.
After all, a powerhouse at the Divine Ability ninth layer "Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation" possessed boundless power in every gesture.
Venerable Gu Meng took a long breath: "When my Heavenly Dao Pavilion does business, what we emphasize is treating the old and the young equally, and convincing people with integrity, otherwise how could our business spread all over the world? Various major experts, and even Demon Emperors come to trade. Today I promised Fang Han to protect him, so I will absolutely not retreat. Do not force me to make a move."
"Admirable, admirable! The Heavenly Dao Pavilion doing business is indeed based on integrity, this is something both the immortal and demonic paths know. Since that is the case, Ghost Emperor, come out." The Zhu Xian Bandit waved her hand.
"Wuwuwu, wuwuwu…"
As she waved her hand, immediately between heaven and earth, ghosts cried and gods howled. Gusts of gloomy wind drilled out from underground. Countless dark souls and evil ghosts drifted in the gloomy wind, finally all coalescing into a dark soul throne. Sitting on it was a middle-aged cultivator wearing hemp clothes, with a pale face, and pale ghost fire drifting in his eyeballs.
This middle-aged cultivator had very long fingernails, a full foot long, looking like flying swords. His appearance was incredibly terrifying, seeming like a demon who controlled hell.
"It is actually this guy! He actually dares to call himself emperor! And uses the name Ghost Emperor!" Yan said fiercely within the Yellow Springs Map: "This person is an elder of our Yellow Springs Demon Sect, Yin Wuchang. When Yellow Springs Great Emperor was around, he was also a formidable character. Now he actually dares to call himself emperor! But without a massive amount of Water of Oblivion, he will never be able to cultivate to the Longevity Secret Realm in his lifetime! According to his cultivation, although he is a powerhouse at the Divine Ability tenth layer Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, his lifespan is probably less than eight hundred years. If he still doesn't obtain the Water of Oblivion, the boundless dark souls in his body will cause a backlash. Ultimately his energy will dissipate and his cultivation will vanish. With one breath gone, he will die. Only the Water of Oblivion can transform the boundless dark souls into pure power."
Generally, only demonic path experts in the Longevity Secret Realm are called emperors, meaning Demon Emperors. Now this "Ghost Emperor," at the Divine Ability tenth layer, called himself an emperor. This was clearly the result of the internal chaos within the Yellow Springs Sect.
"Have I finally attracted the people of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect?" Fang Han knew this day would come sooner or later. The news that he had obtained the Yellow Springs Map would definitely attract pursuit from the people of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect.
Although the Yellow Springs Demon Sect had been torn apart and plagued by fierce internal fighting since Yellow Springs Great Emperor was no longer around, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Even the Taiyi Sect did not dare to harbor thoughts of exterminating it now.
And the appearance of the Yellow Springs Map might be a sign of the Yellow Springs Sect unifying. If an expert in the Yellow Springs Sect obtained it, re-refined it, restored its power, and then opened the Yellow Springs Treasury. Their strength would greatly increase, and unifying the Yellow Springs Demon Sect and returning to the position of the number one great demonic path in the world would not be a difficult task.
As soon as the "Ghost Emperor" appeared, a gloomy and sinister pressure was immediately felt by everyone. Venerable Gu Meng's expression also changed.
"Venerable Gu Meng, this is the Great Dao Token I obtained. Now I return it to your Heavenly Dao Pavilion, how about it? Retreat quickly." As soon as the Ghost Emperor appeared, he didn't even look at Fang Han, as if he were a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He raised his hand, swoosh! A pitch-black token flew towards Venerable Gu Meng.
Venerable Gu Meng caught it in his hand, looked carefully, and turned pale with fright. An expression of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Daoist Fang Han, I am sorry this time. The transaction between us is hereby voided. The Nascent Soul Pills you gifted me, I return to you without a single one missing." While speaking, he turned all ten thousand plus Nascent Soul Pills into a streak of crystal light and flew them towards Fang Han. Then he bowed his body and suddenly shot out like lightning.
Chila!
Venerable Gu Meng's escape technique was unbelievably fast, disappearing without a trace in an instant. That "Ghost Emperor" actually did not obstruct him at all. Clearly, he let him pass.
"Go!"
At this time, Fang Han had long aimed for the opportunity. When Venerable Gu Meng rose up and flew, he also flew up. His body shook out millions of phantoms, while his true form was hidden within, like a snake and like a sparrow, about to escape.
He consecutively executed the two great divine abilities of "True Form Phantom Art" and "Snake Sparrow Roaming Spirit Qi," intending to take advantage of this opportunity and leave together with Venerable Gu Meng.
As soon as the "Ghost Emperor" appeared, Fang Han knew that today's matter was extremely dangerous. If he did not seek an opportunity to just leave, he would likely fall into a hazardous situation.
Flying together with him was Fairy Lian Yun. This woman also seemed to see that the situation was bad and refused to stay in place.
"Hmph! Trying to leave!" The Ghost Emperor's voice was ethereal, faintly coming from the deepest part of the earth. He grabbed rapidly with his hand, and immediately, Fang Han was blocked by a patch of pale ghost fire, burning fiercely, the white flames covering the sky. Ordinary people's divine ability firelight consisted of clusters, but the Ghost Emperor's firelight was like a wall, and it was not hot, but bone-chillingly cold! It was unexpectedly a rare type of cold flame between heaven and earth.
"Netherworld Ghost Fire!"
Yan's spirit flickered: "The Netherworld Ghost Fire is a cold flame great divine ability with immense power. Upon invading the physical body, it will destroy the soul and corrode the bones in an instant, and it restrains many flame divine abilities. The Ghost Emperor's cultivation has reached the level of Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, which ordinary experts cannot compare to. Fairy Huo Yun's twenty-eight divine abilities could not do anything to him. Instead, it gave him the opportunity to trap you!"
"Blood Night King!"
Fang Han had just wanted to use fire to break fire and employ the Great Sun Fire Disaster, but Yan's lightning-fast spirit communication made him immediately wake up. The power of the Blood Night King was fully concentrated, and it slashed out a blade light toward the ghost fire.
But the pale "Netherworld Ghost Fire" whooshed and wrapped back around, burning the Blood Night King until it sizzled and trapping it in the fire. Then it was as if a wall had violently collapsed, all the ghost fire collapsed downward, tightly wrapping Fang Han in the middle.
"Star Zen!" Baby Nebula spun the Sun Moon Five Stars Bracelet fiercely. A massive expanse of starlight shone out, instantly pushing away a large area of the "Netherworld Ghost Fire."
The Sun Moon Five Stars Bracelet was a Pure Yang Dao artifact. In terms of lethality, it was not as powerful as the Blood Night King, but against demonic energy and ghost fire, it had a unique defensive function.
