Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 307 - 245: Searching for the Dog

This time Tie Dan was also stunned,

"Ah? Really stole it to eat? I thought... no, it shouldn’t be possible..."

Although eating dog meat is quite normal, but anyone with eyes can see that this dog has been enlightened by a Mystic Sect Immortal, cultivated into human form, and received an official talisman, barely considered a fellow from the same sect. How could someone have the nerve to eat it? Isn’t that a bit too disrespectful to the Immortal Lord—he hasn’t even undergone Feather Transformation yet...

The person in black snorted coldly,

"I’ve said all I’ve needed to, fulfilling my responsibility. If you want me to help you rescue the dog, then give me these three items... Hey!"

But Tie Dan ignored her completely, took the items, and flew out of the temple in pursuit.

The person in black stomped her foot, also using Immortal Law to fly, stepping on the clouds, following closely behind.

"Don’t blame me for not warning you. As someone at the Golden Core Realm, you probably can’t even survive the Heavenly Tribulation! How can you possibly be a match for those two bastards, Ling Qiong and Xi Hui!"

"Those magic treasures are funerary objects and are useless to a living person like you! Why not give them to me, and I can lend you a hand!"

Tie Dan glanced at the other,

"What, you’re not a living person? Then you’re a monster? Let me guess, a fox spirit?"

The person in black was stunned.

"How did you...?"

Tie Dan sniffed,

"Your transformation technique is interesting. A monster able to change into human form and sneak into the Mystic Sect Temple so brazenly? It seems you’re not just an ordinary demon gaining the Dao, but have some family heritage."

"I read in the Daoist Collection that north of Chaoyang Valley lies Qingqiu Mountain, inhabited by a den of Heavenly Foxes, reportedly demons converted to the Righteous Path. Is that your home?"

The person in black, or perhaps the black-robed fox, stopped immediately.

Having just lost a dog, Tie Dan had no time to argue with the fox; he pinched the formula and calculated,

"Considering your Dao Breath is pure and your path not crooked, and you took the initiative to warn me, I’ll let you go this time. Next time we meet, I won’t spare you."

Having deduced Ling Biao’s whereabouts, Tie Dan immediately pinched the formula, and transformed into a Sword Wind with a thunderous roar, breaking through the Spiritual Qi barrier in an instant, chasing towards the horizon.

The black-robed fox looked at this terrifying momentum, like a gust of wind dragon roaring, stirring up a sky full of tribulation clouds, and whipping up a storm, like a black dragon soaring to the heavens, and was left speechless. She no longer dared to pursue for the magic treasures, quickly turned around and slipped away.

Indeed, on the way, Tie Dan had observed Ling Biao running wildly, dashing left and right, rampaging here and there, practically bouncing in front of his face. Along with some casual inquiries and the insights gained from learning various Escape Techniques, he had long figured out the essence of the Wind Escape that the other used.

In short, the spirit wind that Ling Biao harnessed was a result of the merging of Xuanming and Red Evil energies.

Water and fire naturally counteract each other, but from a physics perspective, the liquid state of water and the ionic state of fire—what’s there to counter or not counter? It all comes down to attempting to use the Xuanming Escape, but without sufficient Water Qi in the air, they can’t find the ’path’ for the Water Escape, so,

"I twist a sphere of Xuanming with my left hand! I twist a sphere of Red Evil with my right hand! Merge them together~~and the hot water boils!"

This generates ’steam Qi’, and with the air’s hot-cold convection, doesn’t that result in wind? Then simulating the Turbo Technique’s aerodynamics to break the sound barrier...

Ahem, in general, that’s the idea. Since Tie Dan is familiar with Xuanming Ice River Escape, and has refined the Red Evil Dao Qi through the Third Transition, understanding the principle of this Escape Technique naturally allows him to conjure a Wind Escape, breaking through the Spiritual Qi barrier.

However, since it’s a technique Tie Dan devised himself and he hasn’t seen the true teachings of Ling Biao’s Escape, there are many aspects that need refining. It’s entirely reliant on the pressure differential for thrust, breaking the sound barrier upon both arrival and departure, appearing like a black dragon taking flight, with tornado-like storms, earth-shattering and imposing, admittedly lacking in grace.

Well, to put it bluntly, it’s quite monster-like. It’s nothing like Ling Biao’s execution of the spirit wind, which is ethereal, breezy, resembling the aura of an Immortal figure.

But regardless, the dog has indeed demonstrated the Wind Escape technique to him numerous times, essentially teaching him a trick. He has to lend it a hand and settle this karmic cycle accordingly.

Of course, Tie Dan also realized that the Immortal Lord’s task wasn’t something easily accomplished.

That Heavenly Broom Immortal had kicked Ling Biao down the mountain for a trial, particularly calculated to involve him, even finding a Sword Sect expert to guard the dog. Naturally, there was this calamity in the beast’s life; if it passes, it becomes human through cultivation; if not, it ends as a dead dog.

And the two concubines of the Fu Guang Ancestor in Chaoyang Valley probably weren’t ordinary either. After all, they weren’t blind; they could observe auras and magic, seeing through Tie Dan’s abilities and realm to a large extent, so they should also recognize that there’s a powerful figure behind Ling Biao.

Even so, they dared to conspire to use the dog’s meat to drink with, they must have had their own backing. Perhaps the master behind them wasn’t afraid of the dog owner’s influence, and might have intentionally stirred up trouble.

After all, which decent person sends their concubines to play with a dog? Perhaps the old guy is hiding and watching secretly, scheming relentlessly.

In conclusion, Tie Dan reckoned that this was actually a chess match between two Enlightenment-level Immortal Lords, and not even those at the Nascent Soul Realm could be could be considered more than mere pawns. It was likely a tough fight, not something that could be resolved with one sword strike, perhaps requiring several more swords.

Thus, Tie Dan prepared himself mentally, stayed alert, and crafted an additional peach wood short sword, tempered with Dingmao Yin Fire to make it sharp, hidden in his bosom ready to cut his way through.
