Chapter 409: Claiming the Yanluo Court Again

Yin, surrounded by a group of Heaven Immortals, was unable to free himself for the moment. His cursed effigies, trapped within the Formation of the Complete Heavens, couldn't provide any assistance, either. They had no choice but to watch as the Goat Yanluo was struck by a barrage of attacks.

"Xiao Nanfeng, once I'm free, I'll kill all of you here. None of you will be able to run. The whole city will die because of you!" the Goat Yanluo thundered.

"Goat Yanluo, you're blaming your tyrannical and brutish behavior on me? How shameless you are. Why did you impersonate the acting city lord? It's so you could use that identity to allow your subordinates to consume the souls of all who live here. If I hadn't noticed it in advance, all the people of Fengdu would have become your cursed effigies—if I hadn't locked the city down, Fengdu would have become a necropolis!"

"Shameless Goat Yanluo! You deserve to die!" Countless people shouted from the watchtowers.

The starlit blades struck the Goat Yanluo one after another, wounding it grievously. He raged, but was unable to free himself from the starlit barrier.

"Xiao Nanfeng, do you really think that I can't deal with you? This starlit barrier might be strong, but I can still shatter it!" the Goat Yanluo cried out fiercely.

Xiao Nanfeng's eyes widened. "Blue Lantern, be careful. He's going to self-destruct!"

"You—!" the Goat Yanluo hissed.

Even so, despite the fact that Xiao Nanfeng realized what he was going to do, as long as he could leave the starlit barrier, so what if he had to self-destruct? At any rate, this wasn't his physical body.

Just then, the Goat Yanluo trembled. A beam of blue light appeared by his mindscape, preventing his self-destruction.

"What? You aren't dead? You're trying to regain possession of your body at a time like this?!" the Goat Yanluo shouted.

Blue light burst from his mindscape as he shook violently, temporarily having lost control of his body.

Another burst of starlit blades descended from the heavens as he hastily defended with another crystalline barrier. The barrier shattered, wounding him further.

"It seems like something's wrong with his physical body. He didn't self-destruct!" Blue Lantern shouted from within the blue mist.

Afar, Xiao Nanfeng was taken aback. "He didn't? He might still have some other trump card, then. Be careful!"

"Understood!"

The Goat Yanluo scowled. He was furious. He didn't have some other trump card; his physical body's original owner, Qu Jianfeng, had revived at this critical moment and was trying to seize control over it.

"I clearly overlooked your presence. I thought that swallowing your spiritual power and destroying your blue moon would kill you—but it looks like you still had this up your sleeve. You hid the last vestiges of your soul in your physical body, prepared to ruin my plans! But what good does it do you to appear now? You can't hope to best me, and your body's going to be destroyed if you keep stalling me!" the Goat Yanluo fumed.

From the Goat Yanluo's mindscape came a weak voice, "Goat Yanluo, if I'm going to die regardless, I might as well bring you down with me."

"You damned fool!" the Goat Yanluo roared.

"Let's die together!" the voice rang out from his mindscape again.

Even more starlit blades rained down from the heavens. The Goat Yanluo knew that he wouldn't be able to keep blocking such attacks, that he wouldn't even be able to escape if he were to drag things out any further.

"Forget it!" the Goat Yanluo hissed.

He pointed at his mindscape. "Crystalline barrier, seal!"

"What have you done?!" the voice shouted.

"I've sealed all my spiritual power, of course, so you can't do anything to me any longer. I'll deal with you later. Now, explode!" the Goat Yanluo roared.

The Goat Yanluo self-destructed in a mushroom cloud of fire and smoke. The starlit barrier shattered.

Out of the heart of the explosion rolled a crystalline orb, cracks all across its surface. The crystalline orb protected the Goat Yanluo's cursed spiritual avatar; beside it was a blue specter.

The Goat Yanluo's spiritual avatar opened his mouth wide, attempting to swallow that specter whole, only to be interrupted with another barrage of starlit blades.

"Again? Qu Jianfeng, count yourself lucky. I'll deal with you later!" The Goat Yanluo ran off.

"Blue Lantern, the Goat Yanluo's cursed spiritual avatar is fleeing to his Yanluo Court. Hurry!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.

The starlit blades swiftly changed direction, but it was too late. The Goat Yanluo's specter had already made it back.

The starlit blades struck the Yanluo Court in an explosion of fire and wind. After the explosion dissipated, however, the Yanluo Court was revealed wholly unharmed.

Suddenly, with a hum, it released blinding white light that illuminated the night sky.

"Blue Lantern, be careful! It's in control of the Yanluo Court. Hide!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.

The Yanluo Court flew into the air and descended on the Formation of the Complete Heavens.

The land all around rumbled as mountains were obliterated all around, destroying the formation's foundation and causing the stars above to wink out.

"Thank you, King! We've been freed!" the cursed effigies cheered.

The Heaven Immortals that were fighting against Yin blanched.

Yin sneered. "Goat Yanluo, you've used too much of your strength. Heaven's Hand has emerged again. If you don't shroud your aura quickly, you'll be sent back into the abyss."

A burst of incredible energy emerged from the abyss. Heaven's Hand shot out and caught the Yanluo Court. It trembled violently, as though it were about to be pulled back into the abyss.

"Someone, give me a body to hide my aura! Quickly!" the Goat Yanluo thundered from within the Yanluo Court.

However, his subordinates were still some distance away from the Yanluo Court, and wouldn't be able to make it in time. Heaven's Hand was already starting to drag the Yanluo Court down.

"Damn it, hurry!" the Goat Yanluo howled.

With a creak, the door to the Yanluo Court opened up and formed tremendous suction. The closest figure to the Yanluo Court was sucked within.

"Isn't that... Commander Lie Yang?" Chang Bing exclaimed.

"Commander Lie Yang? Isn't he one of Yin's subordinates? What is he doing by the Yanluo Court? Did Yin arrange for him to be there?" Xiao Nanfeng frowned, as though sniffing out a conspiracy.

Just then, Heaven's Hand, which was gripping the Yanluo Court tightly, loosened it and slunk back into the abyss after losing the scent of the Goat Yanluo.

Not long later, a figure emerged from the Yanluo Court, none other than Commander Lie Yang. However, his gaze had changed completely.

"Has the Goat Yanluo possessed Commander Lie Yang's body?" Everyone watched with bated breath.

The Goat Yanluo stepped out of the Yanluo Court and glanced at Heaven's Hand, which had retreated back into the abyss. He shuddered, then turned fiercely toward Fengdu. "Xiao Nanfeng, look at what you've done. It's time for me to pay you back!"

He flew out of the Yanluo Court. With a wave of his hand, the Yanluo Court followed swiftly behind him. He was headed for the eastern watchtower of Fengdu.

"Not good. He's coming!" the city guards cried out.

"There's no need to worry unduly. The Yanluo Court isn't as strong as it was. He must be worried that Heaven's Hand will catch him again, so he doesn't dare activate it at full force. Our defense formation at full power should be able to hold out against it," Xiao Nanfeng called out.

"Understood!" everyone replied.

After what had happened over the past month, everyone had come to rely on Xiao Nanfeng. If he said that the defensive formation could hold out against the Yanluo Court's attack, everyone would be able to suppress their panic.

The defensive formation shone golden in the dark night.

"Xiao Nanfeng, I have to admit you have a good eye. It's true that I can't use the entirety of my Yanluo Court's power, but there's more than enough to destroy your formation. Now, break!" the Goat Yanluo shouted.

The Yanluo Court smashed into Fengdu's defensive formation in a storm of flame and wind. Even at full power, the defensive formation around the city was unable to stop it.

A large number of cracks appeared on the barrier surrounding the city.

"City Lord, the defensive formation can't hold out any longer!" the guards cried out.

With a bang, it shattered.

"Is this all you've got?" The Goat Yanluo laughed loudly.

Just then, he found Xiao Nanfeng flying up to the Yanluo Court and attempting to hold it off with his palm.

"Xiao Nanfeng, even Fengdu's defensive formation wasn't able to take me on. What can your physical body do? My Yanluo Court can even kill a Heaven Immortal at present. Die!" the Goat Yanluo shouted.

"No, there's no way Xiao Nanfeng would be so foolish. Something's going to happen to the Yanluo Court," Yin surmised from high above.

Everyone watched as Xiao Nanfeng touched the Yanluo Court with his palm, the Divine Seal of Dazheng in his other hand.

As everyone watched on, Xiao Nanfeng and the Yanluo Court suddenly vanished from sight, leaving the Divine Seal of Dazheng floating in the air.

"Is that imperial seal a spatial treasure? He moved my Yanluo Court within it?!" the Goat Yanluo shouted, launching himself at the seal.

With a hum, Xiao Nanfeng reappeared. He kept the Divine Seal of Dazheng with a smile. "Goat Yanluo, thank you for the gift."

"Return my Yanluo Court to me!" the Goat Yanluo shouted, punching at Xiao Nanfeng.

Xiao Nanfeng's golden robes rapidly turned silver as he retaliated with a punch in kind.

A wave of energy formed where their fists met. The Goat Yanluo stumbled back.

"Kill him!" he roared.

"Attack!" Countless cursed effigies charged forward.

"Guards, what are you waiting for? Kill the cursed effigies!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.

All the guards had been gobsmacked by Xiao Nanfeng claiming the Goat Yanluo's Yanluo Court. Only when he shouted at them did they suddenly start to react.

"Understood!" Ye Dafu, Chang Bing, and the others cried out.

The soldiers rushed toward the cursed effigies and engaged them in a melee.

Xiao Nanfeng flew toward the Goat Yanluo. "Have you lost your Heaven Immortal body? You've had to switch to an Earth Immortal's? Ha. Goat Yanluo, you've lost!"

He slashed forward with his blade, sending the Goat Yanluo flying back.
