"Yang Feilong, hand over the top-grade spiritual artifact and the Green Lotus Spiritual Fire, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, you'll find death no matter where you go!" Xiao Gangqiang stared at Yang Feilong, his eyes filled with menace.
"Go eat shit!" Yang Feilong sneered.
The next moment, he turned and entered the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation.
"You..." Xiao Gangqiang's gaze turned incredibly grim.
Seeing this, Huang Quan couldn't help but smile. Honestly, seeing Xiao Gangqiang frustrated made him happy. He hadn't thought about making a move earlier, but decided to wait and see. As it turned out, Yang Feilong didn't disappoint him!
Of course, if Xiao Gangqiang hadn't been present, even without any enmity towards Yang Feilong, he would have attacked!
As time passed, Yang Feilong did not reappear.
"Is this guy planning to go into seclusion?" Xiao Gangqiang's eyes were cold. The next moment, he sent a message to the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in his clan.
Previously, they hadn't expected the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation to contain a top-grade spiritual artifact, so no Nascent Soul stage cultivators had come.
But things were different now. Few Nascent Soul stage cultivators possessed top-grade spiritual artifacts. With a top-grade spiritual artifact, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator's combat power could increase.
Before long, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator arrived.
The travel speed of Nascent Soul stage cultivators was countless times faster than that of Core Formation stage cultivators. This first arrival was neither from the Huang family nor the Xiao family!
Someone had learned about the top-grade spiritual artifact and secretly notified the Nascent Soul stage cultivators in their clan. After a journey, this cultivator arrived here!
After this Nascent Soul stage cultivator arrived, and before he could even prepare to destroy the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation, another Nascent Soul stage cultivator appeared.
It was like dumplings being tossed into boiling water. In just a short period, seven or eight Nascent Soul stage cultivators appeared. The strongest among them were the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Huang family and the Xue family. Both were at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, only a hair's breadth away from the Void Refining stage. Of course, many were just a hair's breadth away; very few could cross that gap.
This step was not easy to break through!
Many people died of old age without ever achieving the breakthrough!
"Why don't I feel the curse imprint?" the Xiao family ancestor frowned.
"When that guy was inside the formation earlier, we only sensed it briefly, and then it disappeared. It should be due to the formation's interference," Xiao Gangqiang explained. "As for why we sensed it suddenly, I learned from those who were expelled that it was likely because that guy activated the entire formation to annihilate our Xiao family members, thus leaking his aura!
When Yang Feilong first killed Xiao Tengfei, the Xiao family members outside didn't sense anything. But later they did, because Yang Feilong controlled the entire Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation to eradicate the Xiao family cultivators within. The aura of the curse imprint leaked out.
The Xiao family ancestor didn't look at anyone else but turned his gaze to the Huang family ancestor. "Old Huang, Yang Feilong has two treasures. The top-grade spiritual artifact belongs to my family. How about the spiritual fire belongs to your family? Doesn't your family have a skilled alchemist who has always wanted a high-quality spiritual fire? That Green Lotus Spiritual Fire is second to none among spiritual fires and has the potential to advance to earthly fire! I'll give you three high-grade spiritual artifacts as compensation!"
"Agreed!" The Huang family ancestor pondered for a moment, then nodded.
He actually desired the top-grade spiritual artifact as well. But as the Xiao family ancestor said, if the alchemist in his clan had the Green Lotus Spiritual Fire, their alchemy skills could be elevated to a much higher level!
After their discussion, the two looked at the other Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Those Nascent Soul stage cultivators were quite helpless!
Some were at the early Nascent Soul stage, some at the mid-stage, and one at the late-stage. They would struggle to deal with one peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator, let alone two? Staying would be suicidal, as these two Nascent Soul stage cultivators were both on the Profound Ranking!
They were ranked among the top 180 in the Nascent Soul stage!
"Let's go!"
The Nascent Soul stage cultivators exchanged glances. Before the other two could speak, they vanished from the spot.
After half a day of strenuous travel, they had to leave in a hurry. It was truly frustrating!
If they had obtained the top-grade spiritual artifact, they wouldn't have easily given it up, because only Nascent Soul stage cultivators could fully unleash its power!
Fighting across realms? That was a normal occurrence!
The next moment, the two looked at each other, then unleashed their full power. One wielded a spear, the other a saber.
The spear's brilliance was fierce like the scorching sun, while the saber's might was like a volcanic eruption.
As their ultimate attacks descended simultaneously, the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation shattered instantly, as if it were made of foam.
The Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation's ability to kill Nascent Soul stage cultivators was not just talk. However, it presupposed that Nascent Soul stage cultivators entered it, and it was extremely difficult for ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators to break it.
But these two were no ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Their combined strength, though not enough to rival the weakest Void Refining stage cultivator, was not far off. Destroying this Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation was naturally within their capabilities.
*Bang!*
The Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation lasted for only a single breath before it shattered.
Only an altar remained in its place.
And Yang Feilong's whereabouts were unknown.
"Where is he?"
"Could he have been killed?"
"If the person is dead, then both the Green Lotus Spiritual Fire and the top-grade spiritual artifact would remain intact. If not, it means Yang Feilong has already escaped!"
The people of the Murong family, who had been holding their breath, now felt a strange sense of relief. Yang Feilong had likely escaped!
"Ancestor, Yang Feilong obtained the treasure of the Black and White Impermanence. He might have a random teleportation scroll!" Huang Fei said as he looked at the grim expressions of the two family ancestors.
"Random teleportation scroll?" Hearing Huang Fei's words, their expressions darkened.
"The distance of a random teleportation scroll can be long or short. I was teleported hundreds of kilometers away previously and it took me six or seven days to get back here!" Huang Fei said. Of course, he was traveling while healing, and even without injuries, it would have taken two to three days.
"That guy used a random teleportation scroll to escape?"
"Doesn't that mean everyone else has a chance?"
Suddenly, many people rejoiced. And this was different from before. Previously, with the enhancement of the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formation, Yang Feilong's combat power was almost unmatched below the Nascent Soul stage. But now, it was different. Without the formation's boost, his combat power was only at the Golden Core stage, yes, around the mid-Golden Core stage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill Xiao Lei, who had a cultivation of the third level of the Golden Core stage, with a single sword back then!
"Mobilize the clan's forces to hunt down Yang Feilong!" the Xiao family ancestor thought to himself.
Because Yang Feilong had killed too many of their clan members, over a hundred, including a Golden Core stage cultivator and a genius disciple from the direct lineage!
The Huang family ancestor's eyes flickered, his thoughts unknown. Of course, he wouldn't secretly send people to hunt Yang Feilong, but he certainly wouldn't be as ostentatious as the Xiao family. After all, they had no major feud with Yang Feilong. However, wealth was tempting, especially the top-grade spiritual artifact that even he coveted, and the incredibly precious Green Lotus Spiritual Fire!
