The Spirit Treasure Pagoda was like a divine mountain. Rays of light shot out in all directions, and the steep cliffs were engraved with twisted runes. Even divine senses would be crushed by it.
Although Ningshuai was cursing, he still entered the pagoda. He used a strange movement technique with a pair of spirit clogs on his feet. He stepped on the formation as if it was flat ground and quickly climbed up the cliff before slipping into an ancient stone door.
The formation couldn't stop him, so he dodged the fatal blow.
"Worthy of being a professional."
Feng Feiyun was standing in the bamboo forest not far from the treasure tower with a tinge of emotion. This black-faced youth's origin couldn't be this simple. His methods were quite brilliant, and one could faintly see the shadow of a heavenly scripture.
Any cultivator, even if they didn't have a master, would definitely have a dao lineage. It wasn't that there weren't any geniuses who could comprehend the heavenly dao on their own, but they were too rare, even rarer than Grand Historical Geniuses.
This black-faced youth's escaping technique was quite extraordinary. He was as slippery as a mudfish. Even a first-level Heaven's Mandate cultivator might not be able to catch him, so he was the most suitable candidate to steal the Cloak of Invisibility.
Feng Feiyun stayed outside and could feel several hidden auras. All of them were top experts, seniors guarding the treasure tower. The moment something happened, they would immediately come out of their seclusion.
"Whoosh!"
A cold wind blew by, causing a large bamboo leaf to be blown away. The cold air caused a layer of black frost to form on the leaf.
A faint black mist quietly blew out from the depths of the bamboo forest and gently rushed towards Feng Feiyun like a group of nether spirits slowly approaching.
A claw with tiny black scales on it suddenly reached out with a metallic luster. It reached towards Feng Feiyun's neck.
"Hmph!"
Feng Feiyun's spiritual sense was now more than ninety times that of an ordinary person, so he had long sensed it. He didn't even turn around and pointed a finger behind him. A black beam of light flew out from the tip of his finger and pierced through the black scaled claw, turning it into a cloud of mist.
Suddenly, over 10 black scaled claws stretched out from the clouds and mist, and it was extremely strange. Every single scaled claw was the size of a human body, and they whistled through the bamboo forest. If one were to see this scene at night, it would simply cause one's hair to stand on end from fright.
Feng Feiyun still didn't turn around. He just slapped his palm behind him, and a crimson cloud of fire flew out from his palm. Within the cloud of fire, the phantoms of seven Qilins sank. Their entire bodies were burning with raging flames, and all the black scales and the fog were ignited, burning them into nothingness.
This was the combination of the Crimson Fire Technique and the Qilin's power, it could destroy all evil techniques in the world.
"Daring to cause trouble in the Spirit Treasure Tower, you're quite bold!"
Feng Feiyun noticed that the opponent's technique had a bit of the aura of the Yin World's Three Evils, the Nefarious Energy of the Three Evils.
Outside of the Nefarious Energy, only Evil Treasure Seeking Masters could use it.
Treasure Seeking Masters were the most bizarre and borderline profession in the world, so they were naturally divided into righteous and evil ones. The main job of righteous Treasure Seeking Masters was to search for resources and treasures for sects and clans. However, Evil Treasure Seeking Masters were quite frightening. They specialized in traveling between the Yin and Yang Worlds. Their methods were extremely sinister and terrifying, causing others to shiver just from hearing about them.
No one responded to him. The only response was an evil banner.
This demonic flag also flew out from the depths of the bamboo forest. It was pitch-black like a demonic barrier, and ghost runes interweaved on the iron cloth, wrapping the entire bamboo forest in the demonic flag. It sealed off the heaven and earth, so that the seniors guarding the pagoda couldn't detect the abnormality here.
The evil banner fluttered in the wind as it swept across the sky and crushed the ancient bamboo into powder.
"The Grand Wind Banner!"
Feng Feiyun's eyes became serious as he recognized this banner. It was a Spirit Treasure of the First Heaven Immortal Gate that had been passed down for one thousand years. It was a godly weapon of the sect's defining treasure.
It was originally in the hands of First Heaven's First Disciple, Bu Tianya, but the tragic Bu Tianya died in the hands of his fiancee, Ji Cangyue. From then on, the Grand Wind Banner mysteriously disappeared.
At that time, only three people were present — Feng Feiyun, Ji Cangyue, and the mysterious master. The Grand Wind Banner was either taken by Ji Cangyue or the master.
"Boom!"
A black sun-like spirit artifact light was activated, condensing a black lightning bolt from the demonic flag. It was as thick as a human arm, and a huge stone saber flew out, cutting the lightning bolt into pieces.
Although the black lightning bolt from the Spirit Treasure was terrifying, it couldn't affect the white stone saber at all.
"Boom!"
The white stone saber flew back into Feng Feiyun's hand, then he threw it out again in order to destroy the evil banner.
The evil banner completely unfurled like an ancient scroll and directly slapped the white stone saber away. It stabbed into the ground, leaving only the handle exposed.
"Feng Feiyun, today will be the day of your death!" Ji Cangyue's voice came from the bamboo forest, but her figure was nowhere to be seen.
It really was her!
Ji Cangyue appearing in the Spirit Treasure Tower's territory was a bit unexpected, but Feng Feiyun was not surprised at all. He wanted to see what this resentful little girl was going to do.
After taking the spirit pill from the Tower Lord and cultivating the Heavenly Phoenix Gaze to the Void realm, Feng Feiyun already knew that Murong Ta was Ji Cangyue. He had a few speculations as to why she was hiding by his side, but he didn't expose her. If she wanted to pretend, then so be it.
Because of this, after passing the sixth floor, Feng Feiyun didn't go find Murong Ta again. He wanted to make Murong Ta lose his pretense and take the initiative to attack.
Feng Feiyun was not afraid of Ji Cangyue wanting to kill him, but he was afraid that she would play dirty. Her attack at this moment was within Feng Feiyun's expectations.
"So it is Little Sister Cangyue. Long time no see, did you miss me?" Feng Feiyun teased.
"I want you to die!" Ji Cangyue's voice was very cold as if it was right next to Feng Feiyun's ears.
Her resentment was very heavy, just like a ghost coming to take Feng Feiyun's life. The evil flag hovering in the sky directly rushed down with a black light that resembled the waves of the divine sea.
The Spirit Treasure's power had been completely activated. It was very frightening. Even a grand achievement God Base would be crushed into powder by it.
Ji Cangyue was a Death Spirit Child of the Ji Clan. She had cultivated to become an evil treasure hunter and refined the Grand Wind Flag into an evil flag.
Feng Feiyun also took out his Infinite Spirit Ring to resist the evil power of the flag. His eyes also shot out two flames to activate the Heavenly Phoenix Gaze in order to find Ji Cangyue.
"Rumble!"
The ground trembled as an old skeleton crawled out from the ground. The flesh on its body was rotten, but the hair on its head was still as black as before. It was quite a creepy sight.
Who knew which senior from the Spirit Treasure Tower was this skeleton. Its bones were harder than steel and had been buried for dozens of years. However, Ji Cangyue used her evil treasure seeking technique to summon it from the ground.
"Hey, Little Girl Ji, disturbing a senior's sleep is immoral and will end your lineage."
One of Feng Feiyun's legs was pinched by the skeleton. If he didn't recall his saber in time to knock away the arm of the skeleton, then maybe his leg would have been turned into a bloody pulp.
This little girl from the Ji Clan was truly ruthless with her strange methods. Feng Feiyun had to be careful. It would be a tragedy if he were to fall into her hands.
"Feng Feiyun, you animal, you also know the word 'moral'?" Ji Cangyue sneered.
"Ahem, I'm an animal, but it's still better than you, being suppressed by an animal …"
"Boom!"
A demonic cloud came crashing down with a huge palm print hidden within. Feng Feiyun's mockery had enraged her. Sure enough, she wanted to use her real body to cripple Feng Feiyun.
He was just waiting for her to attack. Feng Feiyun slashed the incoming skeleton into pieces with his saber, then he charged towards the demonic cloud above.
"Rumble!"
Ji Cangyue's treasure seeking technique was extremely brilliant and far surpassed Feng Feiyun's imagination. She could unleash more than ten techniques in one go and almost sent Feng Feiyun's saber flying.
A natural-born spiritualist was indeed not to be underestimated. Adding on the fact that she had been cultivating treasure seeking techniques since childhood, her spiritual awareness far surpassed the level tested by the Spirit Treasure Tower.
Just her spiritual awareness alone was several times stronger than the current Feng Feiyun.
"You've become stronger again, but there's still a big gap between us!"
Feng Feiyun clawed out with black, red, green, and white lights revolving around his arm. It was the Dark Water Art, Crimson Fire Art, Verdant Wood Art, and Platinum Metal Art.
Ji Cangyue's dozens of secret techniques simply couldn't block Feng Feiyun's claw and were easily broken. Feng Feiyun's claw grabbed her fragrant shoulder, wanting to capture her.
"Pfff!"
A bloody mark appeared on her shoulder from the impact of her spirit energy. Even if she lost an arm, she didn't want to fall into Feng Feiyun's hands again.
Feng Feiyun's fingers were numb and stained with blood. He had no choice but to withdraw his hand.
"Swish!"
She was wearing a loose black robe and flew backward, landing in the depths of the bamboo forest, far away from Feng Feiyun. A piece of her shoulder was crushed, revealing her jade-like shoulder with a bloody mark that was still dripping blood.
"So cruel to yourself?" Feng Feiyun touched the blood on his finger and felt it was a little warm.
"Hmph, it's still a thousand times better than falling into your hands."
Ji Cangyue took back the Grand Wind Flag and wrapped it up. She held it in her hand and stood far away in the bamboo forest.
She had a proud and aloof posture with her long black hair hanging down in a mess due to the wind. However, her eyes were as cold as a sword as she stared straight at Feng Feiyun: "I can't kill you today only because my cultivation is not high enough. Wait until my evil arts reach grand completion, then I'll make you wish you were dead."
She turned into a black cloud and retreated into the depths of the bamboo forest, planning to escape.
"Haha, you think you can escape?
Be a good girl and come back to be my slave, warm my bed every day. "
This little girl from the Ji Clan was too cruel. He couldn't let her go. If she successfully cultivated the supreme technique of an Evil Spirit Treasure Seeking Master, then it would be very troublesome to deal with her.
Feng Feiyun's speed was even faster as if he was treading on the wind. He chased after her from behind and reached his claw into the black cloud again. He wanted to capture her and stop her from leaving.
