CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: YUNYUAN IMMORTAL CITY

"Wife, I’ll hold them off. You take Ruo’Er and run!"

The male cultivator at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, struggling left and right, with several blood marks on his body, shouted hoarsely, his magical artifact’s spiritual light dim.

The beautiful woman appeared to be around forty years old, still maintaining her charm, at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.

The son was about fifteen or sixteen years old, at Qi Cultivation Second Layer.

The two masked male cultivators were both at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, each manipulating a magical artifact, pushing the couple back continuously.

"Tsk tsk, what a beautiful woman! If you’re willing to surrender, be a slave, serve me well, I’ll spare your life!"

One of the tribulation cultivators raised a large knife-shaped magical artifact, easily shattering the protective talisman the beautiful woman had summoned.

"Hurry up, what are you dawdling for! Celestial Fragrance Pavilion has plenty of women!"

The black fog-masked man scolded displeasedly.

"Got it, big brother!"

The tribulation cultivator fully unleashed his magical power, about to cut down the beautiful woman.

Suddenly.

A sound of something cutting through the air arose.

A point of cold light, fast as lightning, struck the tribulation cultivator’s large knife.

With a "ding," the large knife was knocked away, saving the beautiful woman.

"Wife!"

The male cultivator husband summoned his remaining courage, desperately blocking his opponent, protecting his wife.

However, the anticipated attack did not come.

The three masked tribulation cultivators all looked behind him.

A cultivator in azure clothes flew swiftly toward them.

"Just in time!"

The one who had emitted the cold light was none other than the just-arrived Shen Xuan.

He casually rescued the beautiful female cultivator.

"Heifeng, don’t you think we should settle our accounts?" Shen Xuan said coldly.

The mask could only block sight and prevent Divine Sense detection.

But Shen Xuan, with the Insight talent, easily recognized Heifeng’s aura.

"Oh, you know the boss’s identity yet dare to meddle?" One of the masked tribulation cultivators revealed his eyes emitting fierce light.

"Very well, coming to us on your own. If you were..."

Before he could finish speaking, a flying sword suddenly appeared, emitting a sharp sword cry. A Cold Ice Divine Dragon, like a flash of lightning, sliced through the air, instantly piercing through his heart, creating a bowl-sized blood hole. Blood splattered everywhere!

He did not react at all until his death.

The other masked tribulation cultivator fared slightly better.

He raised a shield-shaped magical artifact, blocking in front of himself.

The Cold Ice Divine Dragon, however, suddenly flew back, circled around his rear neck, and a good head flew into the sky.

On the other side.

As Shen Xuan’s flying sword appeared.

Heifeng turned into a black mist, fleeing.

"Still trying to escape!"

Shen Xuan snorted coldly.

The Bishui Sword, solidifying a Cold Ice Divine Dragon, swiftly charged forward.

Coming from behind, hitting Heifeng hidden in layers of black mist.

After using the Insight Technique, Shen Xuan could clearly locate Heifeng’s position.

Heifeng simultaneously summoned the Vajra Ring and Golden Rainbow Sword, two upper-grade magical artifacts, attacking and defending with difficulty.

However, Shen Xuan’s Bishui Sword once again solidified a Cold Ice Divine Dragon, encircling and attacking his back heart.

Heifeng hurriedly activated his spiritual power shield.

"Puff!"

The icy blade formed by the Cold Ice Divine Dragon directly pierced through Heifeng’s body.

The spiritual power shield at the Qi Cultivation Perfection was like paper, not able to withstand even a single blow!

"Ding!"

Losing the guide of his Divine Thought, the Vajra Ring and Golden Rainbow Sword both fell to the ground.

Heifeng looked down, staring at his pierced heart, muttering incredulously.

"So strong..."

Then, he collapsed headfirst to the ground, dying instantly.

He never imagined that after two years, Shen Xuan’s fighting power had soared dramatically.

Even without being on the river, he could instantly kill him.

From Shen Xuan’s appearance to killing the three tribulation cultivators, all within a few breaths.

With his current strength, even without water nearby, killing ordinary Qi Cultivation Perfection cultivators was easy.

Then, Shen Xuan skillfully collected the three people’s storage pouches and magical artifacts.

He then launched a Daoist Fireball Talisman, turning the three tribulation cultivators’ corpses into ashes.

The family of three stared blankly at Shen Xuan.

Finally, the male cultivator braced himself to step forward.

"Zou Yunlong of Qingming Mountain, greets benefactor."

Shen Xuan never expected them to repay him.

Saving them was just a matter of convenience.

"For the three of you, just act as if you haven’t seen me. Do not mention me to anyone!"

With that, his figure gradually disappeared into the void.

...

An hour later.

A flying ship cut through the sky, circling in the air for a while, then stopping within a hidden array.

Two similarly built masked cultivators disembarked from the flying ship.

The person on the left-hand side condensed a spell, quickly finding the place where Heifeng and others were obliterated.

With a sweep of his long sleeve, dust suddenly flew, revealing the ashes of Heifeng and the three others.

He glanced at the ashes, snorted coldly, and said with an icy gaze, "Heifeng has already fallen."

The other seemed somewhat incredulous, "Heifeng was at Qi Cultivation Perfection, with several upper-grade magical artifacts. Who killed him?"

"Such strong water spiritual power, and sword Qi!"

Beneath the mask, that person’s scarlet eyes flickered, appearing to perceive certain subtle things.

"A Water Sword Cultivator!"

He concluded.

Then looked toward Yunyuan Immortal City.

"Let’s go, report back to the patriarch."

The two exchanged glances, boarded the flying ship, and flew toward Yunyuan Immortal City.

...

On the flying ship, Shen Xuan checked the storage pouches of the three tribulation cultivators.

He used his Divine Sense to erase their auras.

Then destroyed some suspicious items.

Keeping the Golden Rainbow Sword, Vajra Ring, and other magical artifacts.

Currently, the upper-grade magical artifacts he could not use numbered thirteen.

Just Heifeng alone had four upper-grade magical artifacts, three middle-grade magical artifacts.

Worth over ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Even if sold for less, they could fetch five to six thousand Spirit Stones.

Selling them all required considerable effort.

Heifeng indeed lived up to being the tribulation cultivators’ leader.

Just the Spirit Stones numbered over three thousand.

The remaining items could probably be traded for two to three thousand Spirit Stones.

Shen Xuan casually stored everything.

He wasn’t interested in exploring the Water Mansion Secret Realm.

"This is for Fellow Daoist Zhao. Fellow Daoist Jiang, please keep it for him!"

He took out two middle-grade magical artifacts and some Spiritual Elixirs and Talismans.

As the flying ship slowed down.

A vast Immortal City, spanning hundreds of miles, appeared in sight, surrounded by countless flying lights, colorful and radiant.

The pale azure Water Spiritual Qi was the most concentrated.

This was Yunyuan Immortal City.

Near the East Sea Islands, inhabited by countless Spiritual Light, colorful and splendid.

This was Yunyuan Immortal City.

Built atop the Tier Three Spirit Vein.

Within, a Core Formation True Master resided, relying on the Defense Array, able to withstand ordinary attacks from Tier Three Demon Beasts and Demon Cultivators.

From around the Immortal City, the sound of something cutting through the air came successively, with flying magical artifacts, Flying Swords, flying ships, Spiritual Birds, Escape Light. Cultivators flying to and fro continuously.

The cultivators entering and leaving the city were in a continuous stream.

Shen Xuan disembarked from the flying ship, leaving a Communication Talisman, and parted ways with Zhao Chunsheng’s family.

The two planned to contact each other privately after all settled down in Yunyuan Immortal City.

Zhao Chunsheng understood his kind intentions.
