Chapter 628 - 74: The Cunning Bystander
Nie Shensha stepped back with a calm demeanor, crossing her arms over her chest, a faint smile appearing on her face.
She had naturally heard of Fang Zheng.
And knew that this Martial Arts Grandmaster was extraordinarily powerful, the Bai Family Brothers, who had attained the title of Master, both met their end at his hands.
But,
She had more confidence in her husband.
"Heh..."
Sun Huai’an chuckled lightly upon hearing this:
"In that case, I won’t hold back!"
He flicked his long sleeves, and the six Star Constellation Divine Banners appeared simultaneously, followed by the leap of six Ancient Fierce Beast Essences.
Starbeak Fire Monkey!
"Screech!"
The Starbeak Monkey was a fierce beast full of Evil Qi from ancient times, now reduced to only its Primordial Spirit, its malevolence even more intense.
With a sharp shriek, it rushed forward first.
The Fire Monkey extended its front claws, flames suddenly rising in the air, the extreme heat distorting vision.
"Fire!"
Behind it, Sun Huai’an pinched a Seal Technique and uttered True Words, causing the flames on the scene to surge dramatically.
The high temperature melted the surrounding rocks, turning them into glaze.
In the blink of an eye.
The ground transformed into rolling lava, the air boiled over, even the breath caught in the throat became fire.
"Boom!"
The flames flared up rapidly!
Everything in sight and sense was covered by the flames.
Sun Huai’an’s Dharma Gate was extremely unique, allowing him to use the Primordial Spirits of fierce beasts to cast Magic.
The six Ancient Fierce Beasts within the Star Constellation Divine Banners, their cultivation bases were comparable to Masters who had practiced for centuries.
Six heads,
even beyond millennia!
Though their cultivation bases were not pure and incredibly mixed, using thousands of years of cultivation to cast spells, an ordinary Fire Manipulation Technique could burn mountains and boil seas.
Just like now...
The Divine Temple turned into a fiery cave, looking at the Martial Sect and Masters across the world, those who could withstand it were decidedly few.
No wonder Nie Shensha was so confident.
"Good!"
Facing the incoming might, Fang Zheng’s eyes tightened, he raised his hand to meet it.
Five Thunders Technique!
His pure cultivation base evolved into the Supreme Yang Five Thunders Righteous Skill.
"Boom!"
Dazzling lightning burst forth from his palm, carving a path straight to Sun Huai’an amidst the flaming sky.
With five fingers extended, countless bolts of lightning spread out like a web across the field.
"Crackle..."
"Boom!"
"Chirp..."
The Starbeak Monkey screamed in pain, the Well Hound, Ghost Sheep, Pleiades Chicken, and more... all surged forward together.
Martial Dao Illusion!
Fang Zheng’s body trembled, his True Qi converged and manifested outside his body, turning into eight Martial Dao Illusions that appeared on the scene.
"Boom..."
The Martial Dao Illusion collided with the Star Constellation Primordial Spirits mid-air.
In an instant.
Ground shook and mountains trembled.
Brilliant flames and strange fires scattered everywhere.
......
Over several years, Li Yingxuan had interacted with Baili Zhan on many occasions, but mostly from a distance, truly engaging in combat for the first time.
"Three Sages Manor Master..."
"I really underestimated you!"
After several exchanges, Li Yingxuan’s face couldn’t help but darken.
In her view, Three Sages Manor was merely a Jianghu force, only by chance occupying a place in the chaotic times.
The Manor Master’s cultivation base was expected to not be high.
Keep in mind.
The top experts of Three Sages Manor were casually slain by Fang Zheng.
Baili Zhan might have had some fortunate encounters, but compared to her, he certainly wasn’t as capable, hence her lack of fear.
Who would’ve thought...
The opponent was actually so strong!
The Primordial Slaughter Saber of Seven Kills Sect cleaved heaven and earth, Evil Qi soared skyward, a flash of blade light shattering any spell.
His cultivation base was also extremely pure, nothing like a ’young man’ who was just beginning to shine.
The Dharma Gate he practiced was equally extraordinary, comparable to the secret teachings of an Immortal Sect.
In chaotic times emerge heroes, this saying is true indeed!
The seemingly ’ordinary’ Fang Zheng, the ’Jianghu person’ Baili Zhan, had all become top-notch cultivators.
Ordinary Masters simply weren’t sufficient to stand against them!
As thoughts turned, Li Yingxuan’s actions didn’t slow, Dharma Seals, Spells, along with Magical Treasures shot forth.
Simultaneously, she didn’t forget to refine the Township Stele.
Baili Zhan did the same.
Both knew that within a short time, they couldn’t hope to take down the opponent, so they sought opportunities while refining the Stele.
The situation in the field was perilous, yet fell into a stalemate as well.
"Boom!"
The air trembled, a figure appeared out of thin air, flicked his large sleeves directly sending several intercepting cultivators flying.
"Haha..."
Seeing the situation in the field, the newcomer laughed heartily:
"Looks like this old man is not late!"
"Nie Old Monster!"
"Nie Old Ghost!"
Seeing clearly who it was, Li Yingxuan and Baili Zhan’s expressions changed.
"How can this be?"
Baili Zhan shouted loudly:
"Weren’t you engaged with the Iron Flute Immortal?"
"Iron Flute Immortal..." Nie Old Monster’s expression changed, then he snorted coldly:
"I will first refine this treasure before competing with him!"
As he spoke, his figure flashed, appearing before the Township Stele, and his large hand pressed down to begin refining.
At the same time.
The Palm Force swept out, striking towards the two.
"Peng!"
The three collided with Powerful Qi, their expressions varied.
"Commandery Princess."
Baili Zhan let out a muffled groan:
"Let’s deal with Nie Old Monster first, then we can discuss further?"
"..." Li Yingxuan’s beautiful eyes flickered, and she made a swift decision:
"Alright!"
"Haha..." Facing the joint attack of the two, Nie Old Monster was not afraid at all, instead, he looked up and laughed loudly:
"Two juniors, do you think this old man is afraid of you?"

"Star Constellation!"
"Array!"
Sun Huai’an’s expression was grave as he waved the Star Constellation Divine Banner to harness the Power of the Celestial Stars, commanding six Primordial Spirits to form an array.
The infinite pressure fell towards this Divine Hall through the void.
If it weren’t for the protective array of the Yama Hall, it might have already collapsed.
"Unsettled Qiankun!"
"Martial Dao Illusion!"
Fang Zheng’s eyes shone with divine light, and the eight Martial Dao Illusions each wielded a Magical Artifact or top-notch Magical Artifact and charged forward.
At the same time, the preliminarily refined Seven Treasures Glaze Tower manifested behind his head, firmly guarding him.
"Boom!"
The collision of the two Divine Powers made the world seem to return to chaos, with everything within sight and perception descending into a state of disorder.
"Hmm!"
"Pfft!"
Fang Zheng grunted and staggered back.
Sun Huai’an, however, spat blood, his spirit instantly dispirited.
He relied on the Fierce Beast Primordial Spirit within the Star Constellation Divine Banner to cast a spell, and although powerful, it was ultimately from an external force.
Once obstructed, there was a risk of backlash.
"Husband!"
Nie Shensha’s expression changed dramatically, intending to step forward, but her beautiful eyes suddenly flickered, and several cold gleams shot out from her sleeves.
"Who’s there?"
"Show yourself!"
"Hehe..." A light chuckle arose from nowhere, and two figures appeared one after another beside Li Si and his disciple.
One of them reached out with a large hand to grab the black cloth pouch that held the trapped Primordial Spirit, while the other intercepted Nie Shensha’s offensive and spoke slowly:
"Miss Nie, Sun Xiaoyou, we meet again."
"Zhao Wenhe! Master Wang!"
The two who appeared in the field were unmistakably the two City Lords of the Ethereal Celestial Palace.
Nie Shensha’s eyes flickered:
"Weren’t you supposed to be guarding the Ethereal Celestial Palace?"
"Heh..." Master Wang shook his head at the words:
"This place is the holy land of the Yama Sect, and as disciples of the Yama Sect, how can we sit by and watch it fall into the hands of outsiders?"
"Fortunately!"
"With you two leading the way, we finally found the Town Mansion Spirit. We will express our gratitude richly in the future!"
"You guys..." Sun Huai’an’s expression darkened:
"Followed us?"
"We had to use some small means, but it was also a last resort. Who made you two distrust us and chose to abandon us brothers to come here alone?" Zhao Wenhe sighed:
"We hope Sun Xiaoyou can forgive us!"
"Hmph." Sun Huai’an snorted coldly:
"Do you think you can control the Town Mansion Spirit?"
"This..." The two exchanged a glance, then smiled lightly, with the typically stern Master Wang opening his mouth:
"Why control it?"
He unfolded the black cloth pouch, bowing respectfully to the shadow within:
"Disciple Wang Cheng, greets the esteemed Primordial Spirit!"
"Disciple Zhao Wenhe, greets the esteemed one!"
?
Sun Huai’an’s expression changed, as if he realized something, and he quickly waved the Star Constellation Divine Banner, wrapping himself and Nie Shensha, and fleeing towards the passage they came from.
"Since Sun Xiaoyou is here, why rush to leave?"
Zhao Wenhe chuckled, cupping his hands as he spoke:
"Esteemed Primordial Spirit, those two intruded into the forbidden grounds of the sect without permission, please cast a spell to make them stay."
The Primordial Spirit, who hadn’t spoken from start to finish, trembled slightly at the sound, cast its gaze towards Sun Huai’an and his wife, hesitated briefly, and then slowly reached out its hand.
