Chapter 384: 221. Nine Lights Protection, Dragon-Tiger Talisman_3

This girl had quietly approached him from behind for a sneak attack, and even picked the precise moment when Gao Pu was slightly distracted by Sleeping Dragon Lake to make her sudden move.

She knew that the very instant she unsheathed her sword, the murderous aura and Sword Intent would inevitably give her away a little.

Gao Pu, being a Great Witch in the Eightfold Heaven Realm with keen spiritual perception, would surely notice her the instant she struck, even if she could approach him stealthily.

How patient you are, you wretched maid, to wait for this old man to be distracted?!

That being said, how did she find where this old man was hiding?

It was supposed to be so well concealed...

"The place you’ve picked is indeed not bad."

The one who struck with the sword was none other than Xiao Xueting. "If it were me," she said, "I would choose here too."

Gao Pu was so furious that smoke practically came out of his seven orifices, but his heart was icy cold.

Against this woman alone, he could still summon Shangguan Peng’s walking corpses for a pincer attack.

But now the biggest problem was that his location had been exposed by her strike!

As expected, in almost an instant, the terrifying radiance of the Expelling Invaders Halberd had already slashed above Gao Pu’s head!

Shangguan Yunbo advanced like thunder, flinging Yang Yuqi aside, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Gao Pu had no choice but to silently activate the Witchcraft Secret Techniques.

Amidst swirling black mist, his figure swapped places with Shangguan Peng’s walking corpse in a sudden shift.

Shangguan Peng’s walking corpse stood alone against Shangguan Yunbo, who was already blood-crazed and wielding the Expelling Invaders Halberd. The outcome was inevitable.

Its dark body, covered in blood-red cursed script, was quickly cleaved in two.

Shangguan Yunbo’s steps didn’t stop at all as he continued to pursue Gao Pu.

One of Gao Pu’s arms flew high into the sky.

He, too, did not look back as he fled at top speed.

"Great General, leave this side to me," Xiao Xueting stepped forward with her sword.

The anger on Shangguan Yunbo’s face subsided, and he turned his head following Xiao Xueting’s gaze.

He saw that Yang Yuqi had already begun to signal his men to retreat.

Without Gao Pu’s assistance to keep Shangguan Yunbo occupied, Yang Yuqi knew he was outmatched. A prolonged defense against an opponent wielding the Expelling Invaders Halberd was bound to end in defeat.

Yang Yuqi had a tacit alliance with Wei Ancheng, but he certainly would not fight to the death in a delaying battle for Wei Ancheng’s sake.

"The latest news is that Sect Leader Zonghan of Golden City Stronghold and Sect Leader Hu Hengyuan of Yintuo Mountain are still in a standoff at the Sacred Land of Yin Mountain. It could be said that they are restraining each other, but they are also watching the direction of the wind," Xiao Xueting reported quickly. "Sect Leader Feng Gui of Samsara Abyss has formally emerged to come to the aid of Sleeping Dragon Lake, joining forces with Sect Leader Sang Lu of Gepo Mountain to confront Wei Ancheng."

Shangguan Yunbo nodded and immediately turned to pursue Yang Yuqi.

Although he deeply hated Gao Pu, Sheng Kang Crown Prince Yang Yuqi and Wei Ancheng, the Blood River Sect Leader, were the core figures that mattered most.

...

「Jinxi Cliff.」

Lei Jun, having cleared his trails using the Dark Side of the Celestial Book, did not linger for long and immediately left the area.

He also didn’t consider other destinations for the time being and simply found another secure and hidden spot for himself.

The Southern Wilderness was abundant with mountains and rivers, so such places were not hard to locate.

Amidst the green mountains and waters, Lei Jun saw the calm surroundings and immediately vanished on the spot, entering the True One Altar Cave Heaven.

Then he went straight to the third layer of the Altar.

Inside the Altar, he flicked his fingers lightly.

Two streaks of nine-colored radiance appeared before him, suspended in mid-air.

The nine-colored radiance resonated faintly with the Celestial Master Seal.

But it was not enough to help Lei Jun retrieve the Celestial Master Robe.

He had been mentally prepared for this. Otherwise, when both the Celestial Master Robe and Celestial Master’s Sword were on Dragon Tiger Mountain, the Celestial Master Mansion would not have had such a difficult time searching for the Celestial Master Seal.

Lei Jun now pondered over the two streaks of nine-colored radiance, drawing on a different set of experience and ideas.

Originally, when he collected clues related to the Celestial Master Seal and obtained impressions from two pieces of the seal, he used their resonance to get an initial contact with the True One Altar Cave Heaven through his Spiritual Soul.

Although he could not find the Celestial Master Seal, Lei Jun’s Spiritual Soul could enter the Cave Heavens but was rejected by the True One Altar.

At present, he had obtained two leads related to the Celestial Master Robe.

Above Lei Jun’s head, Yin Yang Dual Qi flew out, beginning to merge and communicate with the two streaks of nine-colored radiance.

After a while, the two streaks seemed even brighter than before.

Then, they gradually merged into one!

As the radiance flickered and descended, it draped over Lei Jun.

Lei Jun did not resist but silently recollected the Talisman Scriptures of the True Formula of the Great Way Scripture from Celestial Master Mansion’s direct lineage.

At this moment, the radiance seemed to transform into nine illusory rays of rosy clouds, falling upon Lei Jun.

And in Lei Jun’s mind, suddenly there arose the sounds of a Dragon’s Chant and Tiger’s Roar together.

The true forms of the dragon and the tiger merged into the Yin Yang Taiji, seemingly turning into mysterious Talisman Scriptures, wondrous and beyond description, both complex and simple, presenting themselves before Lei Jun’s eyes.
