CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 69: PHENOMENA REAPPEAR, THIRD-TIER RESTRICTION (PART 1)

Crack—

A series of dense sounds like popping beans suddenly emanated from Zhou Feng’s body.

The bones throughout his body shattered completely with a squeeze from that large hand.

"Ah!"

A miserable cry escaped from his mouth.

But before he could react, Ji Haoyuan had already raised his hand, casting restraints to thoroughly bind his Divine Sense and Magical Power.

Indeed.

The two of them could die, but they absolutely couldn’t let them be the ones to kill.

After all, no one could guarantee that the Crimson Sunset Sect wouldn’t perceive something amiss from it.

Thus.

They both had to die at someone else’s hands eventually.

Boom!

Simultaneously.

On the other side.

Ma Qiulin was also being suppressed by Liu Hongyu, Feng Wanqing, and Qiu Zeyuan working together.

Especially Qiu Zeyuan.

As a Sword Cultivator in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Each strike of his posed a significant threat to Ma Qiulin.

If it weren’t for his status as a deacon of the Crimson Sunset Sect, with numerous means of self-preservation, he might have already followed in Zhou Feng’s tragic footsteps.

But even so, given the current circumstances, Ma Qiulin’s defeat was merely a matter of time.

At this moment, he was extremely disheveled, both shocked and furious in his heart.

He truly had not expected Ji Haoyuan and the others to be so bold as to directly attack them.

"What exactly do you mean by this?

Do you truly wish to become enemies with my Crimson Sunset Sect?

Have you really considered the consequences of doing this?"

Ma Qiulin shouted in rage.

"Stop now, and there’s still time for everything.

I can assure you that neither I nor Senior Brother Zhou will pursue the matter we just faced."

Yet his words received not the slightest response from Liu Hongyu and the others.

It wasn’t anyone’s first time venturing into the world.

To believe his words would truly be naive.

Swish!

At this moment, a Sword Qi unleashed by Qiu Zeyuan directly dimmed the light of a Defensive Spiritual Artifact in front of Ma Qiulin.

As it looked about to fall, a strong talisman suddenly appeared in Ma Qiulin’s hand.

Qiu Zeyuan, Liu Hongyu, and Feng Wanqing’s expressions all grew tense.

"Tier-2 High-Grade Talisman!"

"You forced me to this point!"

A deeply venomous expression suddenly surfaced on Ma Qiulin’s face.

"Just wait for the Crimson Sunset Sect’s punishment, and at that time, I swear you’ll all face extermination!"

"Not good!

That’s a Tier-2 High-Grade Escape Talisman!"

Liu Hongyu suddenly recognized the talisman in Ma Qiulin’s hand, her face changed drastically as she exclaimed.

Qiu Zeyuan and Feng Wanqing’s hearts tightened.

If Ma Qiulin truly managed to escape, there was no doubt that everyone present would face dire consequences.

Perhaps they would indeed meet the end Ma Qiulin promised, experiencing annihilation.

However, at that exact moment, an invisible, immaterial attack, sharp like a needle, suddenly pierced into Ma Qiulin’s Sea of Consciousness, freezing his action of activating the talisman.

He immediately clutched his head, letting out a piercingly miserable scream.

"Ah!"

It was Ji Haoyuan’s Secret Technique of Divine Sense Attack, the Illusory God Stab.

Under this strike, Ma Qiulin’s Sea of Consciousness was not only severely injured on the spot, but the Tier-2 High-Grade Escape Talisman he had been holding also fell to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, Ji Haoyuan decisively acted again, directly sealing his Divine Sense and Magical Power.

At this moment, Ma Qiulin and Zhou Feng were both completely subdued.

Deprived of their Divine Sense and Magical Power, they were now almost indistinguishable from ordinary people.

Seeing this, Liu Hongyu, Feng Wanqing, and Qiu Zeyuan all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they soon noticed the Storage Bags on the two men.

Ji Haoyuan, seemingly reading their minds, immediately shook his head and said:

"Don’t touch their belongings, let’s leave them for someone else later."

Hearing this, the group seemed to recall something, feeling a slight chill in their hearts.

Indeed.

Collecting spoils of war requires the right timing.

Given their current situation, the risk was still too high.

However, upon reflection, they all understood.

It was truly remarkable that Ji Haoyuan could maintain such clarity and remain unaffected by greed.

This deepened Liu Hongyu and the others’ understanding of Ji Haoyuan.

"So what should we do next...?"

Feng Wanqing looked at Ji Haoyuan, trying to inquire.

Ji Haoyuan was about to answer when, suddenly, in a certain area of the medicinal garden, a beam of Spirit Light shot toward the sky.

A burst of fresh medicinal fragrance spread everywhere.

Even at such a distance, Ji Haoyuan and the others could clearly smell it.

Most importantly, within the Spirit Light, they seemed to see snowflakes falling and the strange phenomenon of fire rain.

A precious Spirit Medicine had emerged!

Almost simultaneously, the thought occurred to every one of Ji Haoyuan’s group.

Instinctively, they exchanged glances.

In the next moment, they moved together in perfect unity, heading toward the location where the Spirit Light rose.

Of course.

During this journey, they did not forget to bring along the subdued Zhou Feng and Ma Qiulin, who had no resistance left.

Meanwhile.

Like Ji Haoyuan’s group, many others in the medicinal garden were also heading in that direction.

Among them were Black Death Daoist and his group from the Netherworld Sect.

"Senior Brother Black Death, as we head to that area, if I’m not mistaken, those Crimson Sunset Sect cultivators will likely head there as well. Should we strike first when we encounter them?"

A strikingly beautiful female cultivator with black floral tattoos on her neck suddenly asked the leading Black Death Daoist.

Upon hearing her, the other Netherworld Sect cultivators present also looked toward Black Death Daoist.

Black Death Daoist showed no expression, but his words were filled with icy murderous intent.

"The opportunity in that area, if I’m not mistaken, is significant.

In my opinion, anyone vying for that opportunity with us is an enemy and deserves to die!

Therefore..."

At this point, Black Death Daoist’s tone grew even colder.

"Anyone who goes there, no matter who, kill them all!"

"Yes!"

The expressions of the beautiful female cultivators all shook.

In the next moment, their eyes glowed with a bloodthirsty gleam.

Moments later.

When Ji Haoyuan and his group arrived at the location where the Spirit Light rose and found various phenomena, they discovered a restriction before them.

Most importantly, this restriction was no ordinary restriction but a Tier-3 level restriction!
