The Taoists of Mount Longhu's Celestial Master Sect had always been overbearing. They only recognized Mount Longhu's right and wrong, not asking for the reason. As a result, they had a bad reputation in the Metaphysics world. However, Mount Longhu was the ancestral court of Taoism, so it had a great influence. Moreover, they had Celestial Master Zhang, who had a profound cultivation base and had been passed down from generation to generation. Thus, Mount Longhu had been arrogant in the Metaphysics world for so many years, but it still hadn't fallen.
Seeing the two Taoists coming toward me, I knew that the conflict couldn't be resolved.
To be honest, I didn't want to worsen the conflict with Mount Longhu, but I couldn't control the current situation. If I didn't subdue these three Taoists first, I was afraid they wouldn't give me a chance to speak.
With my current strength, it was hard to find a worthy opponent under the Yang God realm. I could even fight against an ordinary Yang God Celestial Master with many tricks.
Although Mount Longhu's Taoist inheritance was exquisite, and their talisman techniques were the best in the world, the Celestial Master Seal's cultivation base alone wouldn't be able to defeat me.
"Evil creature of the Wu tribe, you should surrender now!"
The two Taoists of Mount Longhu shouted at me. Their momentum was astonishing. Before their bodies arrived, their sword energies had already arrived. I felt two pure flows of Taoist energy and Zhenqi attacking me, carrying the power of Heavenly Thunder.
I didn't panic. I stepped on the Nine Star Heavenly Dipper and faced the two sword energies head-on.
The first seven steps were completed in one go. The power of the Heavenly Dipper Step surged and blocked the two sword energies.
I didn't stop. The eighth step, Dongming, and the ninth step, Star Concealment, were performed one after another. After all nine steps, the power of the Heavenly Dipper Step multiplied. In a flash, the two sword energies were shattered.
At this moment, the two Daoists of Mount Longhu had already arrived in front of me. Without saying a word, they raised their hands and took out two talismans to suppress me. At the same time, they tightly grasped their swords and used the secret technique of Mount Longhu to control their Daoist swords. Their swords flew out of their hands and stabbed towards me. It seemed that the two Daoists wanted to take me down with lightning speed.
I recognized these two talismans as well. They were the unique Spirit Suppressing Talismans of Longhu Mountain. These talismans didn't have any grade, and their power depended on the caster's cultivation. They had the function of suppressing Zhen Qi. If the caster's Dao Qi cultivation was higher than the opponent's, they could easily suppress the opponent. Moreover, they could temporarily seal the opponent's Zhen Qi cultivation. This was one of the most common methods used by Longhu Mountain to bully the weak.
If other Celestial Masters were to encounter these two Spirit Suppressing Talismans, they might have a hard time dealing with them. However, it didn't have much of an effect on me. I had unlocked my four meridians during the Young Phoenix Competition of the Metaphysics Association. I then used the dark green pearl that Xiao Jin had given me to cultivate Shaman Qi. When I broke through to become a Celestial Master, I even obtained the rare four-word seal. Now that I was cultivating both Daoism and Shaman Qi, my Zhen Qi wasn't something that cultivators of the same realm could compare to.
I released my Dao Qi and Shaman Qi at the same time. Boundless Zhen Qi surged out and instantly broke through the suppression of the two Spirit Suppressing Talismans.
When the talismans were broken, the two Daoists suffered a certain degree of backlash. Their minds became unstable and their movements slowed down.
I took the opportunity to take a few more steps towards the two of them. At the same time, I took out the Armor Removing Sword and gathered all of my Shaman Qi on it. With a single strike, I sent the two Daoist swords flying.
When the two Daoists saw this, their expressions changed. After looking at each other, they quickly retreated and pulled a distance of thirty meters away from me. Looking at their panicked expressions, it was obvious that they didn't expect me to have such a cultivation.
"This bastard is so fierce. I wonder whose fortune he stole to have such a cultivation in such a short amount of time. Junior brother, come over here. Let's work together to suppress him. Our Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Sect is the ancestral court of Daoism. We definitely can't let such an evil creature live in this world and continue to harm the common people."
The leading old Daoist called the Daoist who was in a stalemate with Uncle Lin over. With a stern expression, he scolded me sternly. He had the demeanor of a righteous leader and his face was filled with righteousness.
With regards to the words of Dragon Tiger Mountain, my ears had almost grown calluses. If they wanted to kill me and steal my treasures, they should have just said it. Why did they have to use righteousness as an excuse? Every time they opened their mouths, they talked about the world and the common people. It was as if the entire world, apart from their Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Sect, was evil. If anyone's cultivation was higher than theirs, then that person was a demon.
The three Daoists quickly gathered together and stood in the Three Talents position. The old Daoist who stood at the front looked left and right and nodded slightly. Immediately after, the three of them took out their Celestial Master Seal at the same time. Then, they each patted their own chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. They used the Jade Blood Talisman, a technique that consumed their lifespan, to form a talisman and brand it on the seal.
The three Celestial Master Seals shone brightly, releasing a majestic aura that swept away the surrounding spirit energy. The Yellow River's Nine Bends Formation that the fatty had set up earlier also vanished. Then, the three Celestial Master Seals revolved in the Three Talents Formation, aiming to suppress me.
I only felt an overwhelming wave of True Essence head on towards me, and I was like a lonely figure standing in front of a monstrous wave, appearing very frail and weak.
It had to be said that there was a reason why Longhu Mountain's Daoism hadn't declined for a thousand years. Just the fact that they were willing to fight with their lives just because of a disagreement wasn't something that a normal sect could do. However, although the Celestial Master Seals that the three sects had used the Jade Blood Talisman Secret Technique looked powerful, they were more flashy than practical. After all, they were only three one-word seals. How much True Qi could they withstand?
I moved at the right moment and took out my 'Natural Saint' seal. I infused my witchcraft and True Qi into it. The black and white four-word seal grew from three inches to three feet and three inches under my full power. Finally, it violently collided with the three Celestial Master Seals that were descending from the sky.
"Peng!"
There was a loud sound that was as deafening as a large bell. It stirred up the smoke and dust in the air. I could vaguely see a black and white True Qi crisscrossing in the smoke and dust, as though a huge dragon was surging.
After a short while, the smoke and dust gradually dispersed. The fatty and Uncle Lin looked slightly nervous as they focused on the scene inside. I stood to the side with a relaxed expression.
Back in the Yinshang Royal Tomb, I had heard that the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain could use his Yang Spirit to set up the Three Greats Sword Formation to defend against the enemy.
The three Celestial Master Seals' formation was definitely related to the Three Greats Sword Formation.
I was originally a little worried, but no matter how powerful a technique was, it needed a suitable person to use it. It was obvious that the three of them didn't have enough power.
Although my Dao Qi had been used up and I didn't have much Shaman Qi left, the outcome of the battle had already been decided. It wasn't important anymore. Moreover, I had the True Dragon Vein and the small bronze cauldron. The former could help me quickly recover my Dao Qi, while the latter could convert True Dragon Qi into Shaman Qi. Hence, my True Qi recovery speed was much faster than normal people.
At that moment, my Celestial Master Seal had returned to its original size of three inches. However, as the seal that was carved with the words' Natural Saint ', even without the support of True Qi, it was still extraordinary. The black and white colors were distinct, and the entire seal was warm and translucent without a speck of dust. The four small seal characters shone brightly.
On the other hand, the Celestial Master Seals of the three Daoists of Longhu Mountain were now full of cracks and were dim like a piece of stone. Although they could be recovered in time, the three Daoists of Longhu Mountain were all paralyzed on the ground and vomited blood. They looked at me in fear and didn't even care about the Celestial Master Seals that were scattered on the ground.
"Four-word seal, Inborn Saint … What kind of fortune did you steal? You actually obtained such great luck. Could it be that the luck obtained by the 18 Celestial Masters in the Yin Ruins was completely devoured by you?"
The leading old Daoist clutched his chest with one hand and pointed at me with the other trembling. He kept gasping and his face was full of disbelief.
"I have already said that the deaths of the eighteen Celestial Masters in Yinxu, except for Lu Ziyang who was killed by me, have nothing to do with me. Instead of finding the real murderer, you keep pestering me. Although I, Zhou Yi, have never killed anyone from your Longhu Mountain, I am not a kind person. If you continue to do this, I will kill my way up to Longhu Mountain and ask your Celestial Master Zhang for justice." I thought of how Longhu Mountain had chased me over and over again. I was angry and said coldly to the three Daoists.
However, I didn't expect that the old Daoist would be so stubborn. He shouted at me with half a breath, "You are a remnant of the Wu tribe. You dare to talk nonsense about Celestial Master Zhang? You don't know that Celestial Master Zhang can turn you into ashes with a flick of his finger. Today, the three of us have fallen into your hands. If you want to kill us, then kill us. Our Celestial Master Mansion will send someone to take revenge for us."
Looking at him, I couldn't help but think of Longhu Mountain's Xuan Altar Palace Master, Chen Yangting. Faced with the temptation of Celestial Master Yang Shen's disciple, he wasn't moved at all. Instead, he looked disdainful and felt that Yan Nantian couldn't be compared to the thousand-year-old orthodoxy of Longhu Mountain.
Although we were enemies, I couldn't help but sigh at the cohesiveness of the people of Longhu Mountain.
At this moment, the fatty had already run over to help the weak Uncle Lin up. He came over and whispered to me, "Third Baby, how should we deal with these Daoists?
I think we should just kill them. Give me some time. I'm going to set up a great sealing formation. I'm sure we can isolate all traces. Even their natal weapons in Longhu Mountain won't be able to detect them. "
I didn't answer the fatty immediately. I turned around to check Uncle Lin's wounds. It wasn't a big deal. Then, I asked for his opinion. "Uncle Lin, how do you think we should deal with them?"
"We can't kill them."
Although Uncle Lin was weak, his voice was still calm. "If we kill them, Third Baby, you won't be able to clear your name."
"Don't tell me we're just going to watch these guys come to our door endlessly?
Father, if Third Baby and I hadn't come back in time, you would have been dead. "The fatty was angry. He blushed and argued with Uncle Lin.
I didn't want to see them quarrel, so I called the fatty. Then, I turned around and walked toward the three Daoists.
"I'll say it one last time. I've never killed anyone from Longhu Mountain, and I won't kill you today. However, this will be the last time. If you don't let me go, I won't be lenient next time … Leave the Celestial Master seals, and you can leave."
After hearing my words, the three Daoist priests cheered up. Even the frowning old Daoist leader relaxed a little. Although he looked a little unwilling when I told him to leave the Celestial Master Seal behind, compared to his life, the Celestial Master Seal was nothing.
After the three Daoist priests supported each other and left, I exhaled and put away the three damaged Celestial Master seals. Then, the fatty and I helped Uncle Lin into the room.
I watched Uncle Lin lie down on the bed. After he had recovered a little, I asked him about what had happened today.
Uncle Lin coughed a few times then told me, "Those Daoist priests came to the village yesterday. At first, they went to your house to investigate you.
However, I don't know how, but they accidentally found the underground palace under the village. I was cultivating in the underground palace when they found me.
I wanted to run into the Fire God Temple from the underground palace, but they caught up with me and forced me out of the underground palace.
If I hadn't found this black coffin in the underground palace, I would have died here today. "
Then, Uncle Lin raised the small black coffin in his hand.
Uncle Lin's cultivation base wasn't high, but he could use this small coffin to fight against the three Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain. It proved that this item wasn't ordinary.
However, I didn't have time to care about the coffin. I was thinking about what Uncle Lin had said about running into the Fire God Temple from the underground palace.
