Yuan Tong rushed out of the room and into the courtyard. Seeing that Xu Shilin had been rescued, he was furious and threw his whisk.
A whisk, carrying a burst of spiritual light, shot above the two people's heads. Suddenly, countless strands of dust unfurled, transforming into a vast, silvery net that enveloped them.
The female immortal remained calm, pushed the falling net aside, and unleashed a palm strike.
With a loud bang.
Thunder roared and exploded in the sky, transforming into golden snakes that danced wildly, causing the entire Xianxia Pass to tremble three times.
The dust net was instantly blasted into disarray, and the female immortal took the opportunity to bring Xu Shilin into the air and fly towards the outside of the pass.
The whisk flew back into Yuan Tong's hand.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Yuan Tong shouted loudly, took a step forward, and his figure appeared in mid-air, transforming into a beam of light to chase after it.
He had just chased her all the way out of Xianxia Pass when he saw the woman suddenly stop.
The female immortal turned around, glanced at him with a smile, and a gleaming silver hairpin appeared in her hand. She then lightly drew a line in the air in front of her.
A celestial river formed from the power of moonlight suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, invisibly separating the two sides.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Tong stopped and pointed, causing a bolt of divine lightning from the sky to strike the Milky Way.
Boom!
Divine thunder exploded in the Milky Way, causing the moonlight power in the Milky Way to boil, stirring up endless waves out of thin air, and immeasurable clear light rippled in the void.
Meanwhile, the female immortal had already descended into the shadows outside the Qin army camp with Xu Shilin.
"Ah! The Marshal is back!"
Upon seeing Xu Shilin return safely, the Qin soldiers guarding the camp shouted loudly.
The gate to the village opened quickly, and Xu Shilin and the female immortal entered the camp.
At this moment, the long river flowing between heaven and earth had transformed into specks of moonlight, scattering and disappearing into the void without a trace.
Having already seen the two disappear from the camp, Yuan Tong could only return to Xianxia Pass dejectedly...
The Qin army camp.
As the two walked toward the central command tent, Xu Shilin finally had time to ask the question that had been on his mind.
"Fairy, thank you for saving my life."
"No need to be polite. My dojo is nearby. I foresaw that you would face this calamity, so naturally I have to lend you a hand."
"May I ask your honorable name, fairy? You just called me junior brother, could it be that you are also a disciple of my Jie Sect?"
The female immortal shook her head. "I am a disciple of a Taoist saint, named Jiaoyue... Given the relationship between my master and the Tongtian Saint, it shouldn't be a problem for me to address you as my junior brother, right?"
"So you are Senior Sister Jiaoyue from Taoism. If I have been negligent or rude before, I hope you will forgive me."
Xu Shilin quickly bowed and greeted him.
As for calling him junior brother, it's not just not a problem, it's absolutely no problem...
"Oh no! This is terrible! The magical treasure that the Taoist saint lent me just fell into the field and was picked up by that Taoist. How am I supposed to explain this to my master and senior brother now..." Xu Shilin finally remembered the Kan-Gen-Kun Banner.
Jiaoyue, however, seemed unconcerned and chuckled lightly: "Hahaha... It's alright. After all, it's a sacred treasure. Even if he gets it, he'll only keep it temporarily. He can take it back when he has the chance in the future."
Xu Shilin thought about it and agreed. The Kan-Gen-Kun Flag was, after all, a sacred treasure, and he didn't believe that anyone would dare to seize it for themselves...
The two soon arrived at the central command tent, where a group of generals and captains came to pay their respects upon learning of Xu Shilin's safe return.
After Xu Shilin dismissed everyone, only the two of them remained in the tent.
Xu Shilin invited Jiaoyue to stay in the camp, hoping she could temporarily remain in the army to lend him a hand.
Jiaoyue's trip down the mountain was not only to save Xu Shilin's life, but also to help him break through the Xianxia Pass.
Therefore, she readily agreed...
Early the next morning, after the soldiers had eaten breakfast, Xu Shilin led them out of the camp and headed towards Xianxia Pass on the opposite side.
Before long, Huang Kun led his army out of Xianxia Pass.
On the battlefield, a strong wind howled, causing the banners to flutter wildly.
The world was filled with solemnity and a sense of impending doom.
Both armies had drawn their swords, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight...
Yuan Tong leaped up, transforming into a beam of light and landing in the arena. He pointed his whisk at the bright moon opposite him and shouted, "Fellow Daoist! Come out for a moment!"
Jiaoyue was naturally not afraid of him, and transformed into light to arrive at the center of the battlefield.
"You Taoist priest, did you call me here to beg for mercy?" Jiaoyue asked with a smile.
"Hmph! Nonsense! Once we actually fight, let's see who'll be begging for mercy then!" Yuan Tong said disdainfully.
The two exchanged a few more words before revealing their names.
As the saying goes, "If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much." Now that we're on the battlefield, no matter how sharp-tongued or eloquent you are, it won't make much of a difference.
The true deciding factor in victory or defeat lies in the opponent's extraordinary abilities...
In the blink of an eye, the two started fighting.
One of them is a disciple of a sage, who has now achieved the Taiyi Dao Fruit, while the other is a disciple of an Earth Immortal, who is only a hair's breadth away from Taiyi.
One held a whisk, the whisk strands constantly trembling, combining strength and gentleness, occasionally brushing out streaks of celestial light.
The other one is holding a long sword and standing on a nine-grade white lotus.
The two fought back and forth for more than ten rounds. Jiaoyue realized that Yuan Tong had some skill and that it would be difficult for her to defeat him with just her magic weapon.
So she unleashed several sword strikes, using a few ruthless moves to force Yuan Tong back a bit. Then she raised her sleeve, and the Bright Moon Hairpin instantly transformed into a streak of cold light, shooting straight towards Yuan Tong's heart.
At the critical moment, Yuan Tong turned to the side, and the Haoyue hairpin flew past his immortal robe.
Jiaoyue's mind raced, and the bright moon hairpin immediately drew a half circle in mid-air before continuing to stab towards Yuantong.
"Hmph! You think you can fool me because I don't have any magical treasures?!"
Yuan Tong slapped the back of his head, and a three-legged golden cauldron rose up from his head amidst a radiant aura.
This treasure is called the Mountain and River Cauldron. It is filled with earth energy and can transform into mountains, rivers, and the universe in an instant.
After dodging the series of flying stabs from the Bright Moon Hairpin several times, Yuan Tong finally got a chance to counterattack.
The Mountain and River Cauldron above their heads turned slightly, immediately enveloped in a ball of spiritual light, and crashed into the Bright Moon Hairpin.
"Bang!"
After a loud bang, the two magical treasures collided.
That Bright Moon Hairpin is a precious treasure nurtured by the Moon Star, possessing the greatest killing power.
As for the Mountain and River Cauldron, although it was forged later, its power is in no way inferior to some innate spiritual treasures.
After several clanging and clashing, the Mountain and River Cauldron finally couldn't withstand the attack of the Taiyin Treasure. With a mournful cry, it transformed back into a beam of light and entered Yuan Tong's body...
Jiaoyue reached out and retrieved the Bright Moon Hairpin, holding it in her hand. With her fingertips pointing to the ground, she circled around Yuantong in a flash, instantly trapping him inside.
"Hmph! Such a petty trick can't possibly trap me!"
Yuan Tong's figure blurred as he unleashed a move called "Invisible Body Divine Skill"...
