My Fairy Growth System-Chapter 337 - 336: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

Calamity Crossing True Monarch had spent another year at Disaster Crossing Peak before calming his heart. At that time, news arrived that his only surviving senior disciple, Xiao Yan, had been injured on the frontlines of the Yunhua Mountain Range, just as the sect was continuing to call for reinforcements to the front, prompting Calamity Crossing True Monarch to come here.

Since the furnace with the Fortune Cultivation Body had disappeared, Calamity Crossing True Monarch could only earn sect contribution points and exchange them for other items, hoping to advance further on his Dao journey.

Suddenly, Calamity Crossing True Monarch, who had his eyes closed, abruptly opened them, his face showing an expression of disbelief. He had, once again, sensed the aura of that furnace.

Calamity Crossing True Monarch cultivated the Path of Calamity and had a predestined sense for the Fortune Cultivation Body, but this sense was not, of course, immune to distance. Yu Qingtan had guessed as much, so after rescuing Shen Wanning, she had always kept Shen Wanning more than a hundred thousand li away from Disaster Crossing Peak. Hence, Calamity Crossing True Monarch had not been able to sense Shen Wanning all this time. Since Shen Wanning possessed the Fortune Cultivation Body, the cultivators of Heavenly Secret Tower were also unwilling to calculate her location for Calamity Crossing True Monarch.

At this moment, Calamity Crossing True Monarch was simultaneously thrilled and shocked. Thrilled that the furnace had reappeared, shocked that it had appeared in the Yunhua Mountain Range; could this be a trap? Calamity Crossing True Monarch pondered for a long time before sending out two Message-Transmitting Flying Swords.

Soon after, a man in a red robe left the stronghold of the Extreme Path Demon Sect and made his way toward a certain area behind and to the side of the Yunhua Mountain Range. This person was none other than Calamity Crossing True Monarch’s senior disciple, Xiao Yan, who had already recovered from his injuries and had advanced to the mid-stage of Golden Core.

The direction Xiao Yan headed in was precisely where Calamity Crossing True Monarch had sensed the aura of the Fortune Cultivation Body. Evidently, to guard against a possible trap, Calamity Crossing True Monarch had chosen to send his own disciple. After all, he was unwilling to give up on that furnace.

Half a day later, Xiao Yan arrived at a small basin. Heeding the message he received, Xiao Yan stopped and carefully scrutinized the area. Indeed, he made a discovery quite soon, detecting the presence of a Formation at a certain cliffside.

Feeling it out, the Formation was only at the early Second Stage, the kind that could be bought in any Immortal City; common merchandise. Xiao Yan retrieved his lifebound magical treasure, the Sun Blaze Profound Gold Ruler, from which golden flames emanated.

Xiao Yan directly controlled the Sun Blaze Profound Gold Ruler to smash down at the Formation. An early Second Stage Formation stood no chance against the attack of a mid-stage Golden Core, especially since Xiao Yan had already grasped the rudiments of the Calamity of Fire Path.

"Boom~"

With a loud bang, the Formation broke open, revealing a temporary dwelling within.

"Who is this sneak, daring to disturb this lady’s cultivation!" A crisp female voice rang out, followed by a cold streak of sword light.

"Ding~"

A golden long sword with red and blue streamers on either side clashed with the Sun Blaze Profound Gold Ruler, sending it flying back, and beneath it emerged the figure of a woman in a blue long dress.

"It’s you!" Xiao Yan’s pupils constricted sharply, as the woman was none other than Shen Wanning. Calamity Crossing True Monarch had brought Shen Wanning back to Disaster Crossing Peak, and all of his three disciples had seen her, so he recognized her.

Xiao Yan was also aware of Shen Wanning’s unexplained disappearance, but this time, Calamity Crossing True Monarch had not informed him of the purpose of his mission. However, upon seeing Shen Wanning, he understood right away that he had been sent into danger.

"The Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Flame Flow Gold Shadow Sword that Qing Tan helped me refine, is indeed powerful!" Shen Wanning was satisfied as she looked at her Supreme Treasure Grade Lifebound Magical Treasure, secretly thinking to herself, then she once again commanded the Flame Flow Gold Shadow Sword to attack.

Within the sword qi, there was even the essence of the Third Level Path of Water. Shen Wanning’s achievements in Dao Comprehension were mainly due to the effects of the Tri-Light Divine Water.

Xiao Yan dared not be careless and quickly spurred his spiritual power, defending against Shen Wanning’s attack with all his might. The Sun Blaze Profound Gold Ruler clashed with the Flame Flow Gold Shadow Sword again, emitting a piercing metallic collision sound. Xiao Yan felt an enormous force coming at him, almost too much for him to withstand. He was secretly astonished at how powerful Shen Wanning was. Moreover, the skirt on her body was also of Supreme Treasure Grade.

The two of them exchanged blows, neither able to gain an upper hand. Although both were at the mid-stage of the Golden Core, Xiao Yan was completely at a disadvantage. Their figures darted rapidly across the basin, with sword qi flying every which way and spells scattering all over the place, making the scene extremely intense.

The more Xiao Yan fought, the more terrified he became, realizing that he was completely no match for Shen Wanning. Not only was her strength overwhelming, but her equipment also outclassed his, making every strike feel impossible to resist. He couldn’t understand how a woman who was originally just his master’s cauldron, could possess such formidable power.

Just as Xiao Yan was in grave danger, a very faint grey mist began to rise from the bottom of the basin, completely inconspicuous amid the flying sand and rocks caused by their battle. This grey mist was the Dao Technique of the Calamity Crossing True Monarch, the Qi of Disaster. In other words, the Calamity Crossing True Monarch finally couldn’t help but make a move.

Just as the grey mist was about to touch Shen Wanning, "Spirit Fixation!" Suddenly, two words rang out in the air, and then Xiao Yan was horrified to find that he and his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Sun Blaze Profound Gold Ruler, were frozen in midair, unable to move. Capitalizing on the opportunity, the experienced Shen Wanning controlled the Flame Flow Gold Shadow Sword to stab towards Xiao Yan’s dantian.

Naturally, the Calamity Crossing True Monarch couldn’t just watch as his only disciple died before his eyes, so he appeared and flicked a finger, sending a small grey sword shaped mist toward the Flame Flow Gold Shadow Sword, knocking it away. Discover hidden tales at novelbuddy

"It really is you, Fairy Qingtan of the Wendao Sect!" The Calamity Crossing True Monarch stared intently at Yu Qingtan, who had appeared in the sky wearing a Tidal Skirt.

"Wanning, leave the rest to me!" Yu Qingtan came to Shen Wanning’s side, then took her into the System Space.

"Calamity Crossing Old Scoundrel, of course it’s me! Die! Spirit Fixation!" Yu Qingtan’s gaze was icy as she glared at the Calamity Crossing True Monarch in front of her, her heart full of rage. This old scoundrel had kidnapped Wanning and was preparing to use her as a cauldron; today, she was determined to make the old scoundrel pay for his deeds.

Without wasting words, Yu Qingtan directly used the Mind Immobilizing Spell, then the Sword of Curtain Fall appeared in her hand, slicing through the air with a strike that contained the element of both the Third Level Way of the Five Elements and Sword Dao, the Canglan Water Dragon Break.

She believed that this strike was enough to instant-kill a Nascent Soul early stage cultivator locked by the immobilization, the Calamity Crossing True Monarch.

However, while the Calamity Crossing True Monarch was indeed immobilized, the water dragon formed by Canglan Water Dragon Break eerily shifted ten zhang to the side before reaching the Calamity Crossing True Monarch and Xiao Yan and missed them completely.

"Dao Technique space distortion, Murong Haokong, it’s you!" Yu Qingtan frowned and used the Blue Clear Spiritual Pupil Technique, fixing her gaze on a certain spot in the midair. Yu Qingtan had already detected the hidden Calamity Crossing True Monarch but had not noticed anyone else. However, the other’s intervention had given them away.

"Haha, Fairy Qingtan, long time no see. You must have come here to return with me as the Sect Master’s wife, right?" The place Yu Qingtan was staring at now showed a splendid grand hall, where a white-robed man stood at the entrance, the Young Sect Master of the Extreme Path Demon Sect, True Monarch Murong Haokong.

However, You Anxiang, who often exchanged teachings with Murong Haokong on the Subduing Demon Staff Technique, was not there.
