Chapter 498 - 241: Treasure Seizure, Nine Yang Flame, the Fall of the Gongsun Family
Everyone witnessed this scene.
They were as excited as boiling water. A look of madness flashed in Cao Xueyang’s eyes, "Luckily we came, otherwise it would have been a huge loss."
At this moment, the celestial phenomenon had not yet dissipated.
But the Divine Sword had already rushed out of the Fu Family’s Mountain Protection Array, hovering in the sky.
Everyone’s thoughts began to stir.
Inside the array.
Yaoyao saw this scene.
Worriedly:
"Mother, what should we do?"
"You guard the array."
Liuu Meizhen glanced at the secret chamber where Fu Changsheng was in seclusion, her figure slightly blurred and appeared above the Demon-Defying City, standing tall and exuding the majesty and determination of the Lady of the House, she shouted loudly:
"Everyone, this Divine Sword belongs to our Fu Family. If anyone dares to snatch it, they will be enemies with us. I advise you to think twice before acting; the ruin of the Ping Family serves as a cautionary tale!"
After her words.
She simply waved her jade-like hand, and a Void Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Furnace emitting mysterious light hovered in front of her. As soon as the furnace appeared, the surrounding temperature soared dramatically.
Liuu Meizhen’s hands moved like butterflies weaving through flowers, quickly forming seals. At the same time, she softly chanted:
"Power of Dragon and Phoenix, nurture the Anomalous Fire."
The spell was cast.
A booming sound!
The dragon and phoenix carvings on the Alchemy Furnace seemed to come to life. The dragon head spewed a scorching flame, blue as the depths of Nine Netherworld’s extreme cold; the phoenix mouth released brilliant purple-red flames, as if capable of incinerating all in existence.
As soon as these two Anomalous Fires appeared, they intertwined and fused, forming an even more powerful flame storm.
The belated Liang Family Patriarch, Liang Zhishan, saw this scene, his pupils contracted. Their Liang Family had been tricked by this woman Liuu Meizhen at Wanning Marketplace, and they thought she was just capable of small tricks.
But now it seemed.
She was not to be underestimated.
Cao Xueyang looked at the flame storm, swallowed with difficulty, his eyes red with jealousy:
"What kind of luck did this Fu Family have? Even a woman in their family has such powerful artifacts. That Divine Sword would be one thing, but if I could snatch this Divine Cauldron amidst the chaos, it would be a massive gain."
Just as Liuu Meizhen’s words fell.
On the other hand.
Hee Clan Leader stepped to Liuu Meizhen’s side, speaking loudly:
"Everyone, please remember the edict from the Court: during a Beast Tide, Noble Family conflicts are strictly prohibited."
Flunky!
Gongsun Clan Leader saw this and cursed.
Hee Clan Leader, from a Noble Family under his jurisdiction, had now gone to fawn over the Fu Family, not putting the Gongsun Family in their eyes at all.
Gongsun Clan Leader said coldly:
"Heavenly treasures go to those with destiny, what does this have to do with Noble Family conflicts."
"Exactly"
Many quickly agreed.
Especially those Foundation Establishment Independent Cultivators, for if they could truly snatch the Divine Sword, they could go anywhere, no need to stay in South Huai Prefecture.
Particularly.
Most of the Fu Family’s Foundation Establishment Battle Power had apparently moved to the Anyang County Clan; now, apart from Yaoyao and Yu Qingru guarding the array, and Jade Lotus who had just given birth, only Liuu Meizhen had come out to fight. Crucial power like Fu Changsheng had not appeared.
Everyone’s thoughts grew even more animated.
Just waiting for the celestial phenomenon to disappear.
The battle was on the verge of erupting.
After a short while.
Buzz!
The golden light in the sky withdrew.
Everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned to the sky.
Previously, only the sound was heard, but now they could see the full glory of the Divine Sword.
They saw the Divine Sword quietly suspended in the air.
The sword’s body seemed forged from Nine Yang True Gold, with a dazzling, sun-bright golden glow. Its blade clear as autumn water, with fierce Sword Qi; flame-like runes on the edge appeared as ancient symbols, sharp enough to tear through void. The hilt, crafted like branches from Nine Yang Divine Wood, dark red, engraved with nine blazing dragons. The dragon scales delicate, whiskers lively, eyes fierce. Embedded among the dragons were nine Nine Yang Glazed Beads, with soft yet fiery red light aligning with the sword’s golden glow.
The sword’s pommel like a burning sun, with flickering runes as if sealing power.
"It truly is the Divine Sword!"
Everyone now had their eyes fixed solely on the Divine Sword.
Forget about the Fu Family.
"Hahaha, this Divine Sword is perfectly suited for old me, no one is allowed to snatch it!"
Loose Cultivator Master Yunbo was the first to charge out from the crowd.
His hands quickly formed seals, chanting the spell aloud:
"Ice Soul Crystal Coalescence, Cold Abyss Spirit Lock!"
Then he summoned his ice-blue Lifebound Spiritual Artifact — Profound Ice Spirit Shuttle.
This Profound Ice Spirit Shuttle was crafted by Master Yunbo after years of searching for a spiritual object in the Land of Extreme Cold.
Upon its appearance, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and the moisture in the air instantly congealed into ice flowers. The Profound Ice Spirit Shuttle spun rapidly in the air, emitting a series of humming sounds. Ice-blue Spiritual Power threads shot from the body of the shuttle, these threads snaking like spiritual serpents, winding towards the Nine Yang Divine Sword, attempting to enwrap it.
Gongsun Clan Leader and Gongsun Ming exchanged a look, silently understanding each other.
Gongsun Clan Leader waved both hands, with a rapid spinning Spiritual Power vortex behind him, and shouted:
"Eight Trigrams Spirit Trapping Array, Seal!"
A gigantic Eight Trigrams appeared before him.
This Eight Trigrams glowed with golden light, every trigram like a deep channel for Spiritual Power.
Gongsun Ming tossed his folding fan forcefully, chanting the spell:
"Phantom Fan Shadows, Spirit Lock Soul!"
The folding fan grew significantly in the air, the landscape painting on its surface came to life, from its midst surged chains of Spiritual Power. These chains coordinated with Gongsun Clan Leader’s Eight Trigrams Spirit Trapping Array, forming a massive Spiritual Power cage, descending upon the Nine Yang Divine Sword, wanting to entrap the Nine Yang Divine Sword within it.
