Chapter 140: Trying the Immortal Artifact

“You Joyous Union Sect and Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, bullying the few with your numbers, winning without honor!”

“We are the Demon Sects, so what about bullying with numbers? Brothers, bully him mercilessly for me!”

“Just you wait, once I find Lu, you’ll have no good end!”

Zhao Wuyan executed Sword Flight, desperately fleeing around the big mountain, while a few Elders from the Joyous Union Sect and Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons relentlessly pursued him, activating their magical treasures.

Zhao Wuyan was at the sixth layer of the Dao Palace Realm, while one of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons Elders behind him was at the eighth layer of the Dao Palace Realm, skilled in using poison and tracking, and there were several Dao Palace Realm Elders as well.

“Only one Earth Escape Talisman left, I hope it’s enough to break free.”

Zhao Wuyan took out an Earth Escape Talisman from his chest, transformed into a streak of golden light, and burrowed into the ground.

“Earth Solidifying Talisman!”

The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons Elder threw out a talisman, solidifying the ground around him.

Boom!

Zhao Wuyan found himself trapped underground and had no choice but to break through the earth to emerge.

“All your tricks appear like child’s play to me. But you sure can run, having you run for three days and nights. It’s time for you to die by my hand.”

The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons Elder channeled his poison skills, his palm turned black, and his true qi swirled with a dark purple aura.

“It’s no big deal if I, Zhao Wuyan, die, but the eldest brother and second brother are still trapped in the formation. If I die, they…”

Zhao Wuyan drew his Chasing Wind Sword, desperately searching for a way to escape.

Alone, he couldn’t possibly defeat several Dao Palace Realm Demon Sect Elders.

Zhao Wuyan swallowed a Fifth-Grade Poison-Resisting Pill, slightly alleviating the effects of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons’ cultivation technique.

“Cold Poison Palm!”

The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons Elder struck with a palm, the poison fog carrying a bone-chilling cold, causing all life in the vicinity to wither.

Zhao Wuyan performed the Chasing Wind Sword technique, the swift wind cleared away the poison fog, but the cold hit Zhao squarely. Zhao shivered from the bone-chilling cold, the icy qi entering his body and halting the flow of his true qi.

“Evil cultivation technique?”

Zhao Wuyan was drenched in sweat, now unable to channel his true qi, making it even harder to break free.

“This is our Valley of Ten Thousand Poison’s Heaven Rank lower-tier technique, which I’ve cultivated to great perfection. To fail against this move is your honor.”

The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons Elder wore a look of smug satisfaction, fully comprehending a lower-tier Heaven Rank technique within the Dao Palace Realm was already considered a remarkable talent within the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.

Suddenly, five figures riding Flying Swords appeared in the sky.

Both Zhao Wuyan and the Demon Sect Elders instinctively looked up.

“Lu?”

Zhao Wuyan was overjoyed.

Indeed, when all seemed lost, an unexpected path revealed itself.

The newcomers were none other than the master and disciples of Qingyun Peak.

“Could you be Lu Changsheng from Mount Shu?!”

Hearing Zhao Wuyan’s address of the newcomer, the Demon Sect Elders couldn’t help but recall the Elder from Mount Shu, Lu Changsheng, who was wanted by the four great Demon Sects.

The son of the Joyous Union Sect Master died at the hands of Lu Changsheng, and in a fit of rage, the Sect Master issued a warrant for Lu’s capture, promising a lower-tier Immortal Artifact as a reward to anyone who could bring Lu to the Joyous Union Sect alive.

At the moment, the thought of capturing Lu alive for the reward was the last thing on the Demon Sects Elders’ minds; they were filled with fear instead.

The son of the Joyous Union Sect was a ninth-layer Dao Palace Realm genius of the Demon Sects, and even a second-layer Void Refinement Realm Supreme Elder had fallen to Lu Changsheng’s sword.

Lu Changsheng was not someone these Dao Palace Realm Elders could handle.

“Zhao?”

Lu Changsheng was on his way when he unexpectedly came across Zhao Wuyan being hunted by the Demon Sect Elders.

Why is Zhao Wuyan here at this time?

“Run!”

Several Demon Sect Elders immediately urged their magical artifacts and fled in different directions.

Having used up all their Earth Escape talismans to chase after Zhao Wuyan, they could only use their True Qi to urge the magical artifacts to fly.

“You each use the Technique of Ten Thousand Li Tracking that I have taught you to pursue and kill a Demon Sect Elder. As for the strongest Demon Sect Elder, leave him to your master to deal with.”

“Xiaoyao, your cultivation is still shallow. Act together with your third senior sister.”

Lu Changsheng assigned his four disciples to pursue and kill the Demon Sect Elders separately.

The strongest among them, the Elder from Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, had cultivated up to the eighth layer of the Dao Palace Realm and possessed various poison skills from the Valley. His disciples in the initial stages of the Dao Palace Realm were no match for him, so Lu Changsheng chose to take action personally.

“Damn, I’ve been targeted by Lu Changsheng!”

The Elder from Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, seeing Lu Changsheng pursuing him from behind, was scared out of his wits.

Lu Changsheng was a ruthless man who even dared to kill the Joyous Union Sect’s young sect leader. Dealing with an ordinary Elder from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons was like catching something within arm’s reach, wasn’t it?

With the Technique of Ten Thousand Li Tracking used by Lu Changsheng, the Elder from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons found it difficult to escape pursuit.

Lu Qinglian was pursuing a Demon Sect Elder who was at the fourth layer of the Dao Palace Realm.

Lu Qinglian was only at the second layer of the Dao Palace Realm at the time, yet, Lu Changsheng was confident in letting her chase after the Demon Sect Elder at the fourth layer.

With the Martial King Divine Physique in its minor achievement stage, plus various magical artifacts, elixir pills, talismans, and an Immortal Artifact in her possession, Lu Qinglian might be defeated, but she was unlikely to be killed.

“Lu Changsheng is letting a disciple whose aura is even weaker than mine pursue me? Once I get some distance away, then turn around and counterattack, I can escape smoothly. I’m truly lucky!”

This Elder from the Joyous Union Sect realized that only Lu Qinglian was chasing him and couldn’t help feeling fortunate.

After escaping a thousand li, the Elder from the Joyous Union Sect stopped, took an Earth Spirit Pill to quickly restore his True Qi.

The Elder from the Joyous Union Sect, with his hands behind his back and an arrogant expression said, “Although I’m no match for your master, he’s really too arrogant for letting just you come after me. I can hardly wait to see the pained expression on his face when he loses his beloved disciple. Within ten moves, I will kill you.”

Lu Qinglian halted her Sword Flight.

She looked puzzled.

As the one being pursued, what act was this Elder from the Joyous Union Sect putting on?

No matter, she would just use this Joyous Union Sect Elder to test out the power of the Immortal Artifact.

Lu Qinglian began to circulate the Fire Lotus Swallowing Heaven Scripture, her golden blood boiling, Fire Lotus True Qi flowing through her meridians, infusing into the Holy Fire Immortal Ring within her body.

“Why has the air around us heated up?”

The Elder from the Joyous Union Sect was about to strike and kill Lu Qinglian when he suddenly noticed the air around him turning scorching hot. It was as if he was seeing the sun slowly rising.

The Elder from the Joyous Union Sect rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He wasn’t seeing things; indeed, there was a sun rising.

“This is our Joyous Union Sect’s Immortal Artifact!”

The Elder from the Joyous Union Sect felt his scalp tingle with fear.

The Joyous Union Sect had lost an Immortal Artifact to Lu Changsheng, but who could have imagined that Lu Changsheng would be willing to bestow such a rare Immortal Artifact on a disciple so easily?

Lu Qinglian put all her strength into urging the Holy Fire Immortal Ring, the Immortal Artifact powered by Fire Lotus True Qi shining like a dazzling sun, distorting the air around it.

“Using the Immortal Artifact really is too exhausting…”

Lu Qinglian took a Heavenly Spirit Pill to restore some of her True Qi, then urged the Holy Fire Immortal Ring and hurled it toward the Elder from the Joyous Union Sect.

“No!”

The Elder from the Joyous Union Sect could never have dreamed that one day, as an ordinary Elder at the fourth layer of the Dao Palace Realm, he would be suppressed by his own sect’s Immortal Artifact.

This was giving him too much credit.

As the Holy Fire Immortal Ring plummeted down, despite the desperate resistance of the Elder from Joyous Union Sect, he was completely obliterated under the fearsome attack of the Immortal Artifact.
