Roar!
The little mouse's innate ability was extremely terrifying. After the purple mouse's shadow appeared, a majestic suction force appeared from the purple mouse's mouth and drilled into the array.
This time, the array that Fang Chen had set up was a high-tier Profound Level array. It did not have any offensive power and was specifically used to restrain warriors.
It was enough to restrain the Golden Mouse.
The mouse that was absorbing the Concept of Metal suddenly realized that a gray aura had appeared around it and the Concept of Metal had disappeared.
Its expression changed drastically and it immediately drilled into the sand in an attempt to escape.
However, no matter how it tried to escape, it was unable to leave the range of the array. This made the Golden Mouse very anxious. At this moment, it realized that it was trapped in the array.
Chirp!
The Golden Mouse kept yelling as the Concept of Metal surged around its body and attacked the array with all its might.
However, it was to no avail.
The array that Fang Chen had set up gave up on offense and only focused on defense. Even a mid-level Spirit Vortex Realm warrior would not be able to break it in a short time.
At the same time that the Golden Mouse broke the array, a powerful suction force appeared.
After sensing this suction force, the Golden Mouse's expression changed drastically. It tried its best to resist this suction force, but it was forcefully pulled away.
Crash!
The Little Mouse's innate ability was too terrifying.
It forcefully pulled the Golden Mouse out of the array and directly sucked it into its mouth.
With a crunching sound, the purple rat phantom bit the golden rat. Immediately, the golden rat was injured and had no combat power left.
It was also at this moment that the Little Mouse stopped using its innate ability. The purple mouse phantom instantly disappeared and the injured Golden Mouse was held in the Little Mouse's hand.
"Boss, here you go." The Little Mouse's face was full of smiles as it handed the Golden Mouse to Fang Chen.
The latter dispelled the formation and grabbed the golden rat. In an instant, he felt a majestic Metal Intent burrowing into his body.
"What a strange Golden Mouse," Fang Chen thought to himself.
The Golden Mouse was injured, but it was still awake. It blinked its eyes at the Little Mouse and communicated with the Little Mouse.
"What did it say to you?" Fang Chen asked.
"It said that we are both rodents, so why do we have to deal with it?" The Little Mouse laughed.
"Tell it that I only need the Golden Elixir. I won't harm its life," Fang Chen said.
The Little Mouse nodded and told Fang Chen's words to the Golden Rat. When the Golden Rat heard this, a trace of doubt appeared in its eyes.
The Golden Core was very important to the Golden Mouse. Once it lost its Golden Core, it would become an ordinary mouse.
Just as the golden mouse was puzzled, a wind blade suddenly came from outside the canyon. This wind blade was so fast that Fang Chen and the Little Mouse did not have time to dodge.
Puchi
This wind blade carried a lightning-like power as it instantly shot into the golden rat's body, instantly killing it.
After the golden rat died, the Golden Elixir instantly floated in front of Fang Chen. Seeing this, Fang Chen grabbed the Golden Elixir and put it into his Space Ring.
It was also at this moment that a warrior appeared in the canyon.
"Kid, hand over the Golden Elixir." This warrior was a middle-aged man. His face was filled with coldness.
He had accidentally come here and discovered that the golden rat had been captured by this young warrior. He recklessly used his wind blade to kill the golden rat, wanting to seize the Golden Elixir. However, he was still a step too late. The Golden Elixir was taken away by Fang Chen.
"Who are you?" Fang Chen asked in a deep voice.
"The Wind Bladesman," the middle-aged warrior said coldly.
The Wind Bladesman was considered a rather famous mid-level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm expert in the vicinity.
His cultivation had reached the sixth level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm.
Most importantly, the Wind Bladesman majored in saber techniques. However, he had fused the concept of wind into his saber techniques, making the power of his saber techniques extremely tyrannical.
In the central region of the Five Elements State, when the Wind Bladesman was mentioned, one would think of his terrifying saber techniques.
It was said that under the same realm, no one could force him to use that saber technique.
Hearing the words' Wind Bladesman ', Fang Chen's face was filled with bitterness. He did not expect to meet the Wind Bladesman here.
"Wait, those who entered the mountain range were all low-level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm experts. Why would the Wind Bladesman appear here?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Fang Chen's mind. Following that, he realized something very important.
"You are the owner of the inn!"
Fang Chen cried out involuntarily.
He did not expect the owner of the inn to be the famous Wind Bladesman.
Hearing this, the Wind Bladesman's eyes flickered. He looked at Fang Chen playfully and said, "Kid, you are quite smart. Unfortunately, you still have to hand the Golden Elixir over to me."
"The legendary Wind Bladesman is a righteous person. However, you used the inn as a pretense to coerce low-level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm experts to do your bidding. How shameless," Fang Chen said coldly.
Hearing this, the Wind Bladesman laughed sinisterly and said, "How I, the Wind Bladesman, do things is not something you can criticize."
The Wind Bladesman exuded a terrifying aura and directly forced Fang Chen to hand over the Golden Elixir to Fang Chen.
Fang Chen's mind was quickly thinking of a way to deal with this. At this moment, Fang Chen sensed a familiar aura. Immediately, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
"His aura is mixed with the aura of the Yellow Spring Sect," Fang Chen said to himself.
Fang Chen had fought with the remaining members of the Yellow Spring Sect more than once. He was very familiar with the aura of the Yellow Spring Sect.
Although the Wind Bladesman had been hiding his aura, Fang Chen still caught a glimpse of the Yellow Spring Sect's aura in his aura.
"You are not the Wind Bladesman," Fang Chen said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the Wind Bladesman was a little surprised. Immediately, his eyes turned cold and murderous.
"I underestimated you. Since you found out, I can't let you go," the Wind Bladesman said sinisterly.
Crash!
Just as the swordsman in the wind was speaking, Fang Chen suddenly flicked his wrist and instantly set up a formation.
"You want to trap me, the Wind Bladesman, with a mere formation? Dream on," the Wind Bladesman said coldly. Immediately, he attacked the formation with all his strength. The Profound Level formation was instantly shattered.
It was also at this time that Fang Chen once again set up a mystic rank array formation, trapping the swordsman in the wind.
"It's useless." The Wind Bladesman broke the formation again.
However, this time, Fang Chen set up dozens of Profound Level formations in one go.
After temporarily trapping the Wind Bladesman, his figure flashed and disappeared from the canyon.
Not long after Fang Chen left, the chain formation suddenly shattered. Then, the Wind Bladesman appeared. His face was incomparably gloomy as he said coldly, "You will die without a doubt."
Because of his carelessness, Fang Chen had escaped. This made the Wind Bladesman very angry.
He had come here for the Golden Core. Now that the Golden Core had been taken away by Fang Chen, he could not let Fang Chen go no matter what.
The Wind Bladesman sent a message to the inn, telling all the cultivators to give up looking for the Golden Mice and focus on finding Fang Chen. Furthermore, he directly copied Fang Chen's portrait.
"Brat, you can't escape," the Wind Bladesman said sinisterly.
Outside the mountain range, in the inn, a burly man was leisurely enjoying life. Suddenly, his communication jade pendant rang. He picked it up and heard the Wind Bladesman's voice.
Then, his expression changed drastically.
"What's wrong?" Old Cao asked hastily.
"Master wants us to stop looking for the Golden Mice and focus on finding this person," said the burly man.
The burly man said in a low voice. At the same time, an illusory figure appeared in the jade token.
"Eh, isn't this the cultivator I tricked into drinking the Dragon Eye Wine? Why does master want us to focus on killing him?" asked Old Cao.
"Could it be that this brat found the Golden Mice and obtained the Golden Core?" muttered the burly man.
Not long after, all the martial artists were gathered in the inn.
The burly man looked around at everyone and then gave each of them a pill. "Everyone, starting today, you don't need to look for the Golden Mice."
"Yes." Everyone was puzzled.
"Starting today, focus on finding this cultivator. As long as you can find him, you can regain your freedom," said the burly man.
At the same time, a portrait of Fang Chen appeared in the air.
Everyone memorized this portrait and then entered the mountain range one by one.
To them, looking for the Golden Mice was the same as looking for this cultivator. As long as they could regain their freedom.
Of course, they did not know that the owner of the inn had been controlled by the Yellow Spring Sect. They were actually working for the Yellow Spring Sect.
One day later, all the cultivators who had been threatened were searching the entire mountain range for Fang Chen.
At a certain moment, Fang Chen met a cultivator at the second level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm.
"Yes, isn't this the cultivator in the portrait?"
Seeing this, the cultivator's face was filled with an excited smile. Immediately, he launched a fierce attack on Fang Chen.
Fang Chen easily subdued this cultivator. From this cultivator, he learned that all the cultivators who had entered the mountain range were looking for him. This caused his face to become extremely gloomy.
"Brother, please let me go. I was forced to capture you because I had no other choice," the cultivator begged in a low voice with a bitter look on his face.
"I can let you go, but you have to help me spread the news," said Fang Chen.
"What news?" The cultivator's face was filled with joy.
"The owner of the inn is the Wind Swordsman. In fact, this Wind Swordsman has already pledged allegiance to the Yellow Spring Sect. You are working for the Yellow Spring Sect," said Fang Chen.
"How is that possible?" The cultivator did not believe it.
"You just need to do as I say," said Fang Chen.
The cultivator nodded and left.
In less than a day, the news that the Wind Swordsman was the owner of the inn and had pledged allegiance to the Yellow Spring Sect spread throughout the mountain range. All the cultivators heard about this.
At first, no one believed it. However, as time passed, some people began to believe it.
"The Wind Swordsman is a righteous person. Why would he do such a thing?"
"Could it be that someone is deliberately smearing the Wind Swordsman's name?"
"There must be a reason for this. Why is it the Wind Swordsman and not someone else?"
"If the Wind Swordsman is really the owner of the inn and has pledged allegiance to the Yellow Spring Sect, then what we are doing is no different from betraying humanity."
Betraying humanity was a great crime that they could not bear.
