"What?"
Princess Hongyi's magical sword suddenly struck silently. Fang Han's eyes showed surprise; he raised his head, looked at Princess Hongyi for quite a while, and then said, "Liu Kang is the son of the Zhenyuan Marquis, and the Zhenyuan Marquis is someone who holds military power in our Dali Dynasty. With his legitimate son killed, I am afraid there will be endless trouble."
"I thought you would be greatly surprised, but I didn't expect you to be far calmer than I imagined."
Princess Hongyi washed off the blood on her sword with a "Cleansing Talisman," looking at Fang Han with eyes like two crystal gems. Then she smiled, not even looking at the already breathless Liu Kang on the ground, as if she had killed an insignificant person.
She originally thought that having suddenly killed Liu Kang, Fang Han would be greatly surprised first, and his first words would be out of condemnation. Yet she did not expect Fang Han's first words to actually be considering the consequences of the matter, clearly thinking about how to deal with the aftermath.
Seeing this, she also couldn't help but admire Fang Han in her heart for being decisive and neat, not someone indecisive.
"Since the matter has already happened, regretting is useless, and everything else is a waste of time. Now let's think about how to deal with the aftermath." Fang Han stood up. "I never do things I regret afterwards, and besides, Liu Kang actually daring to threaten us shows he was truly blinded by greed."
"He had no reason not to be blinded by greed, because one Silver Snake Sword and one Blood Cotton Demonic Garment are enough to be exchanged for ten titles of Zhenyuan Marquis. Missing this opportunity, it would be gone for a lifetime. It's just that he was too hasty; he actually should have waited until we returned to the Yuhua Sect to threaten us. Now he is dead; not killed by me, but killed by accident by the Pink Prince."
Princess Hongyi said airily, sheathing her sword.
"This place is not safe to stay in for long. I will collect the Heavenly Rooster Extreme Yang Rope and leave." Fang Han walked forward very neatly and arrived in front of Senior Sister Mo.
Senior Sister Mo, this extremely outstanding inner sect disciple, was now poisoned by the poisonous soul of the Six Desires Yin Lightning. Even if she had cultivated her physical body to be exceptionally powerful, having reached the Divine Transformation realm, she was unawaringly comatose, her face purplish-black.
Originally, having refined the flesh to the tenth realm of Divine Transformation, being incredibly powerful, even if one consumed a pound of arsenic, it would only result in a severe illness, but not death.
But how powerful was the poisonous soul of the Six Desires Yin Lightning? It was ten thousand times more malicious than arsenic.
"Senior Sister Mo, whether you can survive or not depends on your luck. I cannot leave a treasure like the Heavenly Rooster Extreme Yang Rope left on this desert." As Fang Han spoke, he took the rope from Senior Sister Mo's hands.
However, this rope was connecting the ten Flying Yakshas, binding them tightly without the slightest movement.
"Oh no, I forgot. Once this rope binds demonic creatures, it cannot be loosened unless the master personally circulates their mental intent." Princess Hongyi sighed in surprise.
"How can we carry ten Flying Yakshas?" Fang Han furrowed his brows tightly.
To take this rope now, they had to take all ten Flying Yakshas.
"I wonder if the Dragon Subduing Yellow Springs Diagram can absorb this treasure?" Fang Han thought for a moment and decided to try. As he spoke, he tucked one end of the rope into his lapel, touching the Yellow Springs Diagram inside his inner clothes.
At the same time, his mind merged with the Yellow Springs River on the Yellow Springs Diagram.
Puchi!
Right at this instant, as if sensing the aura of the "Dragon Subduing Yellow Springs Diagram," the "Heavenly Rooster Extreme Yang Rope" suddenly erupted with phantom images. They were actually colorful brocade roosters, each holding their heads high with puffed-out chests, crying out to the sky.
Instantly, heaven and earth were shaken by it, as if trying to turn the night into the dawn's breaking cry.
Hula! Hula!
Just then, a phantom of a flood dragon suddenly darted out from within Fang Han's body, opening its bloody maw and shooting out a beam of yellow light. As it swept across, yellow clouds filled the sky and earth, making it so dark one couldn't see their own fingers.
"Ah!"
Princess Hongyi felt an intense danger and hurriedly crawled on the ground. She didn't know what had happened either.
Only Fang Han saw clearly that the flood dragon flew out, spitting out sky-filling yellow clouds, fighting with the brocade roosters.
Thousands upon thousands of brocade rooster Yang souls fought an earth-shattering battle with this flood dragon. Yellow clouds rolled, brocade roosters cried long and loud; ten thousand roosters and one dragon formed an unprecedented scene.
"Demon Swallows the Sun and Moon!"
Just after the next moment, the phantom of this flood dragon suddenly let out a wild roar. Its bloody maw opened wide again, and the phantoms of the thousands of brocade roosters were actually sucked in by it in one gulp.
Then the sky-filling yellow clouds were swept completely away, and this flood dragon burrowed back into the Yellow Springs Diagram on Fang Han's chest without a trace.
And the Heavenly Rooster Extreme Yang Rope in Senior Sister Mo's hands had disappeared.
"What's going on!" Princess Hongyi felt the danger disappear, hurriedly rolled up, and stared fixedly at Fang Han. "Where is the Heavenly Rooster Extreme Yang Rope? Did you really collect it? And those ten Flying Yakshas? They are gone too!"
"What exactly happened?"
Fang Han didn't quite understand in his heart either, not knowing what had taken place.
He only knew that just now when he collected the "Heavenly Rooster Extreme Yang Rope," the leaping flood dragon in the Yellow Springs Diagram suddenly flew out, fought with the brocade rooster Yang souls in the rope, and finally won a complete victory, swallowing all the brocade roosters down.
Even the ten Flying Yakshas had disappeared without a trace.
"Did that flood dragon shadow collect the Treasure Artifact? I must take a look."
Fang Han hurriedly immersed his divine sense into the Yellow Springs Diagram, and immediately found that the ten Flying Yakshas were actually lying in the Yellow Springs River, bobbing up and down like floating corpses; they had actually all been collected inside.
But solely the "Heavenly Rooster Extreme Yang Rope" was nowhere to be seen; not a single trace of this Treasure Artifact could be found in the Yellow Springs River.
"Strange, even the ten Flying Yakshas were collected, why can't the Extreme Yang Rope be found? Could it really be that the flood dragon swallowed the rope? One must know this Extreme Yang Rope is one of the most pure Yang Treasure Artifacts between heaven and earth; the ten thousand colorful brocade rooster Yang souls on it are no small matter…"
Fang Han placed his divine sense again on the Yellow Springs Diagram, on the body of that flood dragon.
This matchless supreme treasure, the "Dragon Subduing Yellow Springs Diagram," had only two things on it. One was that flood dragon, and the other was the long Yellow Springs River, not knowing where its source was or where it would flow to.
Generally, Fang Han knew that when this treasure map collected magical treasures, they were all stored in the Yellow Springs River.
That Yellow Springs River, despite being within a painting, seemed to be a void cavern heaven of its own. It was no small matter.
From recently reading "All Worlds," Fang Han did know that magical treasures possessing their own cavern heaven were already existences at the level of "Dao Artifacts." A spirit existing within a magical treasure; if that spirituality attained the Dao, it could cultivate on its own, not inferior to an expert in the Longevity Realm.
Like the Dao Artifact in the Yuhua Sect, the Five Qis Immortal Pot, it was a magical treasure. According to legend, the artifact spirit of this magical treasure was even addressed as the "Five Qis True Person" by the sect's elders.
Addressing a magical treasure as a True Person showed its high status, which was no small matter.
In fact, Dao Artifact level magical treasures, even for super sects like the top ten immortal sects, numbered only a scant few.
In other words, this "Dragon Subduing Yellow Springs Diagram" was at least a Dao Artifact level magical treasure. The Yellow Springs River was a void cavern heaven, and that flood dragon was the artifact spirit, an artifact spirit that had attained the Dao.
Fang Han had always guessed like this in his heart.
But that flood dragon had never spoken any words, nor expressed any spirituality; it was just a picture, a dead object.
But today, it actually woke up, and ate a Treasure Artifact! A precious treasure!
Fang Han suddenly felt that the flood dragon seemed to become lively.
"Could my guess be true? This flood dragon is the artifact spirit of the Yellow Springs Diagram? A spiritual being that has attained the Dao? Otherwise, where did the Heavenly Rooster Extreme Yang Rope go?"
Thoughts shuttled through Fang Han's mind.
"Your guess is not wrong. Worthy of being the inheritor of the Yellow Springs Emperor predestined by fate, you also consumed the Nine Orifices Golden Pill. When the Nine Orifices Golden Pill mixed with your blood dripped onto this map, you unlocked this treasure map! Today, you actually gave me the chance to eat a precious treasure! A pure Yang precious treasure, allowing me to recover one-thousandth of my vital energy! It finally allowed me to wake up…"
Suddenly, in Fang Han's perception, the flood dragon on the painting opened its eyes, and an extremely vast voice reached deep into Fang Han's mind.
"Fang Han, what's wrong with you? Why are you standing still? Did something happen?"
Princess Hongyi suddenly said, seeing only Fang Han standing there blankly.
But she didn't know that Fang Han heard the flood dragon inside the Yellow Springs Diagram on his body speaking!
An ancient artifact spirit, waking up…
