The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

In the instant before the Dharma Vehicle was slashed to pieces, in less than a breath's time, Feng Fu retracted all control over it. In that critical moment, Chen Dong used his Divine Sense to activate Mu Qingzhu's Transmission Talisman, allowing him to escape from the vehicle.

He had been constantly monitored by Feng Fu, so Chen Dong hadn't dared use the Spirit Talisman. Even if he teleported thousands of miles away, Feng Fu could have easily captured him and dragged him back.

This Spirit Talisman was completely different from Li Zhixuan's. It was a sixth-rank Transmission Talisman that could only be used twice before crumbling to dust, and it could instantly teleport someone thousands of miles.

It was thanks to this Spirit Talisman that Mu Qingzhu was able to steal the Yuqing Immortal Technique from the Wangyou Sect. Otherwise, anyone else, even if they had obtained the Yuqing Immortal Technique, would never have been able to walk out of the Wangyou Sect.

A sixth-rank Transmission Talisman corresponded to Cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage or higher, which was why Feng Fu and Li Mo hadn't sensed Chen Dong's teleportation.

But because Chen Dong used the Spirit Talisman's final charge, he got an earful from Mu Qingzhu for a long time. A sixth-rank Spirit Talisman was priceless; you couldn't find a fifth-rank Talisman Maker in the entire Wangyou Realm, let alone a sixth-rank one.

After teleporting, Chen Dong chose a direction opposite to the Qixia Sect and fled quickly.

But he hadn't fled for long before he spotted several streaks of light in the distance and hid without a second thought. Although the streaks of light were heading in a different direction, their auras belonged to Nascent Soul Old Monsters. Among the pursuing streaks was the aura of Wei Yanlan, a Supreme Elder of the Qixia Sect. The streaks of light were moving incredibly fast, as if their users had all activated some kind of Secret Technique.

Chen Dong hid for a good while. Just as he was about to set off again, a beam of light flashed directly in front of him. It was the Daoist of the Wangyou Sect, one of the few people in this realm who could sense the Yuqing Immortal Technique.

He looked like he had also used a Teleportation Talisman to get here. For him to land right in front of Chen Dong, in this vast and empty region, made Chen Dong curse his own damnable luck.

Inside his body, Mu Qingzhu was screaming frantically, 'We ran into him even like this? If he discovers the Yuqing Immortal Technique, we're finished!'

Chen Dong focused his qi and sent back a mental message: 'Calm down!'

'How can you tell me to calm down? I can't! If the Yuqing Immortal Technique is discovered, I'll definitely be the first one to die!'

Chen Dong replied nonchalantly, 'Maybe it'll be me!'

'How is that possible? They'll definitely kill the Jade Embryo first to take the Immortal Technique, and then they'll slowly and viciously interrogate you over and over!'

Chen Dong felt that Mu Qingzhu's personality had changed a lot since she'd become an embryo. She used to be a bona fide cold and aloof Fairy, but now, her chattiness far surpassed his own. Perhaps it was because they had gotten to know each other better, or maybe being a Jade Embryo was just too lonely.

'Things aren't that bad,' he sent back. 'This Daoist looks pretty badly injured.'

"Who are you?" Li Zhixuan asked again.

"Chen Dong."

Li Zhixuan thought for a moment. He had never heard the name before.

So he asked again, "How do you have my sect's greatest treasure inside your body?"

Mu Qingzhu's consciousness chimed in: 'He must be seriously injured! Otherwise, with his personality, he would have captured you long ago instead of wasting time with all this talk. Let's use this chance to escape!'

A faint smile touched Chen Dong's lips as he replied in his mind: 'He might know something about the Realm Passage. I can use this chance to question him. Besides, he's obviously discovered the Yuqing Immortal Technique. After I get what I want from him, I'll just silence him to prevent any future trouble!'

Mu Qingzhu grew anxious. 'He's at the Golden Core Stage! Even if he's badly hurt, you're no match for him! Let's go, quickly!'

'That remains to be seen!'

Just as Chen Dong finished his mental reply, he said with a smile, "Your sect's greatest treasure? What kind of joke is that? It's obviously mine!"

Li Zhixuan's brow furrowed. "How could my sect's ultimate legacy, the Yuqing Immortal Technique, possibly be yours? Hand it over if you know what's good for you!"

At the same time, he quickened the speed at which he was infusing the Spirit Talisman. He believed that this Chen Dong was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even injured, he was certain the man would be no match for him. However, he still needed to wait for the Spirit Talisman in his hand to finish charging. It would be troublesome if they attracted another Golden Core cultivator.

Chen Dong looked at Li Zhixuan, confident that he could take down the heavily injured man.

Li Zhixuan was equally confident he could take down the Foundation Establishment Stage Chen Dong.

For a moment, the two just stared at each other.

Chen Dong shook his head slightly and asked coolly, "Are you waiting for that Spirit Talisman in your hand, or for the pill you swallowed to take effect?"

Li Zhixuan realized his intentions had been seen through. Wasting no more words, his figure flashed as he shot straight toward Chen Dong.

Instantly, a Fire Technique flared from Chen Dong's finger, blocking the attack.

Li Zhixuan froze. 'He actually blocked it!' It was unbelievable. 'Am I too heavily injured?' Any ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator would have been knocked off their feet by that move.

He then gritted his teeth and said, "The Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Manual. You really are from the Qixia Sect." The Spiritual Power around him swelled by thirty percent, and the hatred in his eyes was almost tangible.

He bore an immense hatred for the Qixia Sect. Killing one of their Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators would be a small down payment on that debt.

A flash of Spirit Light from the ring on his hand, and a Spirit Sword flew out, streaking toward Chen Dong in an instant.

Chen Dong twisted his body to dodge and said, "My identity is irrelevant. I want you to honestly answer a few questions for me!"

Li Zhixuan snorted coldly. "I have no interest in answering a dead man's questions!"

His Sword Technique flashed—Backward Hooking Goose. One sword became three, stabbing at Chen Dong from three directions at once.

A clap of thunder exploded, and the two phantom swords vanished into nothingness. The real sword returned to Li Zhixuan's side.

Chen Dong smiled lightly, his expression calm and composed.

"I'll make you interested!"
