Chapter 38: A Critical Moment Zhang Xiang stepped forward: "Because...
Zhang Xiang stepped forward and said, "We've been delayed for too long because of this talisman. I don't know how much that kid has refined. Please don't waste this divine relic."
The four of them looked at each other and almost simultaneously rushed towards Nangong Liuchu and the others, but the next moment they fell into the illusion array.
Xingyao Zhenjun was furious: "Will this annoying formation ever end? Hmm? This is..."
"Master Xingyao, I'm defeated!" Fu Guangjun knelt on one knee and said in embarrassment. At the same time, the top of the Xuantian list was replaced by the name of Master Xingyao.
Everyone was shocked:
"I never thought I'd see a change of top spot in my lifetime. I have no regrets in this life!"
"This Xingyao Zhenjun is undoubtedly the number one."
"True Lord Xingyao!"
"True Lord Xingyao!"
"True Lord Xingyao!"
Amidst the cheers, True Lord Xingyao gradually lost himself in the illusion.
The other three are the same.
…
Two hours later, Nangong Liuchu recovered as usual. "Master, what should we do once these four break the formation? Should I ask Senior Fuguangjun for help?"
Li Youyang's eyes were cold: "We'll talk about it later if we can't win."
Nangong Liuchu nodded, but he was worried that it would be too late by then.
The time when the four people left the formation was almost the same as Li Youyang's estimation. Afterwards, the four people entered the space formation and the time formation. It was not until the evening of the next day that they completely got rid of the formation, but they did not dare to move forward easily.
True Lord Xingyao hated the time formation the most. Now that he had finally gotten out, he was completely worn out by the formation and lost his temper.
The usually good-tempered Taoist Yun Jian was also very upset: "Where did you get so many high-level formation spells from, you little brat?"
Nangong Liuchu forced himself to remain calm and replied slyly, "Why do you care where I got it from? As long as I can torture you, that's all."
Taoist Yunjian’s face turned even darker. “You little bastard, you’ll be in trouble if I catch you.”
Sun Chen said gloomily, "It's been nearly two days. I'm afraid the Divine Relics will be almost refined by him."
Zhang Xiang's eyes were as cold as ice. "He's only a Golden Immortal. Even if he could refine it, he'd only be a Taiyi Golden Immortal. It really infuriates me that such a treasure was treated so badly by him! Today, no matter what, I will make sure these three are wiped out. Where are you?"
Xingyao Zhenjun clenched his fists tightly and said, "Death is too easy for them. I will peel off their souls alive and temper them in the blazing fire every day to relieve the hatred in my heart."
Nangong Liuchu's heart trembled. He thought of peeling off his soul alive and tempering it in the fierce fire. If it failed later, he would simply explode his consciousness and die. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Youyang.
But just this one glance made the four people see the fear in Nangong Liuchu's heart, which was very different from his previous calmness, and they began to suspect that the formation might have been gone.
The four of them stared at each other. Finally, Zhang Xiang dodged and tried to test it. Seeing that there was no formation anymore, he curled his lips and sneered: "Without the formation talisman, I want to see if you can still jump around like this!"
Nangong Liuchu silently clenched his fists, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
Zhang Xiang's eyes darkened as he dashed towards Nangong Liuchu. The next moment, he was caught in the formation. He was shocked. "How is this possible? This isn't a spell! This is one that was just laid! He hasn't even established his foundation yet, yet he's able to create this kind of formation. I only know one person in the world who can do that. Could it be that you are..."
The other three looked at Li Youyang in shock. Because Chengyan Jun had not yet established his foundation, the four of them had not taken him seriously at all. Now they knew who their real enemy was: "Youyang Divine Lord!"
After coming back to his senses, Taoist Yunjian said in a deep voice, "If Fuguang Jun or Nan Liujing knew what we did today, we would be in trouble. The only solution now is to kill him."
Xingyao Zhenjun hesitated: "But..."
Sun Chen: "There's nothing to hesitate about. If he doesn't die, we'll be the ones to die someday. I'll lead the charge."
The moment he finished speaking, he dodged and rushed towards Li Youyang, and Nangong Liuchu met him with a sword.
Sun Chen said coldly: "You don't know your own limitations."
However, Sun Chen was actually knocked back by one blow. It turned out that at the moment when the two were fighting, Li Youyang drew an ethereal formation. The spiritual power of those who entered the formation to fight would be temporarily reduced, but it only lasted for a moment, which required the person who set up the formation to have extremely strong control and judgment capabilities.
Sun Chen's eyes were solemn. Even though he hadn't even reached the foundation building stage, Youyang Divine Lord should not be underestimated. "Fellow Daoist Zhang, True Lord Xingyao, you two attack Youyang Divine Lord, while Taoist Yunjian and I will hold that brat back."
The other three responded at the same time: "Okay."
Nangong Liuchu tightly grasped the magic sword, he would never let anyone get close to his master.
"Nangong Liuchu, calm down."
He really couldn't do it at this time, but with Li Youyang's reminder, he calmed down a little.
Later, with the help of Li Youyang, Nangong Liuchu managed to stop the four people. Half a minute later, his clothes were soaked in blood.
Taoist Yunjian said solemnly, "This brat can't hold on any longer. Let's work together to kill him!"
At this moment, Nangong Liuchu's mind calmed down. He said coldly, "How can you, four seniors, gang up on a junior like me and feel so at ease? Even if I die today, I will take one of you with me."
"No! Back off! He's going to self-destruct!"
Nangong Liuchu curled his lips: "It's too late."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and waited for death to come. However, the expected pain did not happen, and a pill was stuffed in his mouth.
"Regulate your breathing," Li Youyang said coldly.
Nangong Liuchu hummed a sound. He could tell that Li Youyang was really angry.
Li Youyang said coldly: "Today, none of you can escape."
Even though Li Youyang's cultivation has not yet reached the foundation, the four of them are still afraid because of this sentence.
Xingyao Zhenjun said solemnly: "Now that things have come to this, we have no way out."
The three nodded, holding the magic sword in their hands and rushing towards Li Youyang. Li Youyang's eyes were cold, and with a quick move of his fingertips, the four of them immediately fell into a huge chessboard.
"Is this...Xuan Ziqi?"
Taoist Yunjian sneered: "It seems that Lord Youyang has run out of tricks and even resorted to using a spiritual treasure of this level."
After saying that, he slashed out with a sword, and the four people thought that they could escape from the chessboard. However, after the sword strike, they still remained on the chessboard. Then the four people slashed out with sword marks and turned back to kill the four people!
"As expected of the Youyang Divine Lord, such an ordinary spiritual treasure can be used to such an extent. It's a pity that his opponent is us."
It took the four of them about half a cup of tea to finally get away from the chessboard. There was no trace of Li Youyang and the other two in front of them.
Xingyao Zhenjun cast a tracking formation, but it indicated the four directions of east, south, west and north. He was immediately annoyed: "Could it be that one person can be divided into four parts?"
Taoist Yunjian looked at the crowd watching nearby and asked, "Did you see which direction they went?"
"East, Senior, I saw them going east."
"No, it's clearly west."
"It's the north."
…
Listening to the crowd's quarrels, Xingyao Zhenjun was furious: "Quiet! It seems they must have used puppets. One of the four directions must be the real one. The four of us will chase in one direction. Whoever catches it will send a message to the others."
Afterwards, the four of them flew on their swords and chased in different directions.
About half a minute later, the four of them successfully caught up, but they were all puppets. Only then did they realize that they had fallen into a trap and hurried back.
When he returned to the original place, the crowd had dispersed, and even Xuan Ziqi had been taken away.
Xingyao Zhenjun was furious and attacked the void with his palm: "How can this be! They actually let them escape!"
Sun Chen's eyes darkened. "As long as they are still within the Divine Lord Ruins, we still have a chance. If either Fu Guangjun or Nan Liujing attacks us, we will surely die. We must slay Youyang Divine Lord in this secret realm."
Taoist Yunjian curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, the three of you. Youyang Divine Lord hasn't established his foundation yet, and that brat is already seriously injured. As for the other person, he can't interrupt the process of refining the Divine Relic. They can't get far. And the most dangerous place is the safest place. I suspect the three of them may still be hiding here. Let's search carefully first. If we can't find them, expand the search to a radius of thousands or even tens of thousands of miles."
The four did as they were told, but after searching for a while they still couldn't find anyone, so they expanded the search area, but still found no trace.
"It's really strange. It's like he disappeared out of thin air. There's no trace of him at all."
The four of them were puzzled when Taoist Yunjian's eyes suddenly brightened: "There is a place we have never searched for."
The three looked at Taoist Yunjian. Taoist Yunjian's eyes were cold and he slashed at the feet of the four people with a sword. Almost at the same time, Li Youyang and others appeared in the void.
Xingyao Zhenjun sneered: "Youyang Shenjun really makes it so hard for us to find him!"
Nangong Liuchu stepped forward and stood in front of Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan: "Master..."
Li Youyang pulled the person back and whispered, "Take Li Yuan away later."
Nangong Liuchu smiled. "Master, do you think that if something happens to you, Junior Brother Bei and I will still be alive? Today, the three of us will either live together or die together. In the underworld, I will still be your disciple."
Li Youyang was stunned. When he met Nangong Liuchu, this man had already reached the Mahayana stage. Apart from the first guidance, he had actually done nothing for Nangong Liuchu. On the contrary, Nangong Liuchu did a lot for him. He really owed this disciple a lot.
"Nangong Liuchu, I will be your good master in the future."
Nangong Liuchu was puzzled. His master had always treated him well, helping him ascend, gifting him spiritual treasures, giving him elixirs and spiritual pets, finding friends to help him improve his cultivation, and expanding his network. Otherwise, how could he, with his talent and fame, have connected with the likes of Fu Guangjun and the Medicine Saint?! His master had treated him well enough. He dared to say that when it came to devoting himself to his disciples, no one did better than Li Youyang.
"In the future." Sun Chen sneered, "I'm afraid there will be no future for Lord Youyang! He already died back then, so why would he bother to take over another body and die again?"
Zhang Xiang's fingertips slashed across the immortal sword: "Being able to kill the Youyang Divine Lord is a glorious achievement in this life."
Nangong Liuchu spitted out a sneer, "How shameless are you! If Master was in his prime, I would consider you human if you could even touch a hair of his. But I'm afraid you wouldn't even dare to look at Master at that time, you cowards."
Zhang Xiang curled his lips. "You're right, but that was the former Youyang Divine Lord. The Youyang Divine Lord today... Ha! How about this? Youyang Divine Lord, kneel down and kowtow to me three times, begging me to release you. Maybe I'll agree if I'm so happy."
Nangong Liuchu said coldly: "How shameless!"
Xingyao Zhenjun said solemnly: "Stop talking nonsense with them, just kill them and be done with it."
A murderous intent flashed across Zhang Xiang's eyes, and then the four of them formed a killing formation together and attacked Li Youyang and the other two.
