Swish!
Mu Chen's eyes were cold as he appeared in front of Bai Dong in a flash. With a clench of his hand, an azure longsword appeared in his hand. Without the slightest hesitation, Spiritual Energy burning with black flames swept out and enveloped the sword. Then, he stabbed at Bai Dong's throat.
Bai Dong's expression changed dramatically when he saw Mu Chen's sudden attack. Fortunately, he wasn't weak. Even though he hadn't reached the Heavenly Transform Stage, he was at least at the Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase. With an angry roar, vigorous Spiritual Energy surged as he punched out.
"Demonic Dragon Sky Shattering Fist!"
Spiritual Energy surged as he punched out, transforming into a gigantic black demonic dragon. As it stretched its body, it seemed as if even the sky itself would crumble under its might. The Spiritual Art that Bai Dong cultivated wasn't an ordinary one.
Mu Chen's eyes grew even colder when he saw this. He suddenly turned his sword into a fist and punched out. Six Limitless Death Seals condensed, and the surrounding Spiritual Energy became violent. The six Limitless Death Seals turned into streaks of black light that collided head-on with Bai Dong's Demonic Dragon Sky Shattering Fist.
Boom!
A huge explosion rang out as violent Spiritual Energy ripples swept out. Bai Dong's face instantly turned deathly pale, then a smear of red appeared on his face. He spat out a mouthful of blood as his body flew back in a sorry state.
Mu Chen's Six Limitless Death Seals could even block a Heavenly Transform Stage Initial Phase grey-robed elder's fierce attack. Bai Dong wanted to rely on his Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase strength to face it head-on? Clearly, he was dreaming.
"You want to kill me? I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"
Mu Chen sneered. A fierce light flashed through his eyes as he rushed forward again.
In a flash, he appeared in front of Bai Dong. The azure longsword in his hand was already ruthlessly stabbing towards the latter's throat.
Everyone around the black basin watched this scene unfold.
They immediately cried out in alarm. This youth was so fierce that he even dared to kill Bai Dong?
Wasn't he afraid of provoking the wrath of White Dragon City?
The grey-robed elder's expression changed dramatically as he shouted, "You dare!"
However, he was quite a distance away from the two of them, so he couldn't save them in time.
Mu Chen turned a deaf ear to Bai Dong's shout. He stared at the shocked Bai Dong and thrust his sword forward.
It was best to get rid of this kind of vengeful fellow as soon as possible to avoid any more twists and turns.
"Xiu!"
In the blink of an eye, Mu Chen's sword was upon Bai Dong.
However …
Just as he was about to kill the latter with his sword …
Among the White Dragon City people in white robes, a bright light flashed under a white robe.
"Ding!"
An incomparably fierce gust of wind.
It suddenly tore through the air and struck Mu Chen's sword at an astonishing speed.
That kind of power directly shook the edge of Mu Chen's sword until it trembled incessantly, while Mu Chen's figure also hurriedly retreated two steps.
"Who is it?!"
His expression darkened as he swept his gaze over the group of white-robed men. Then, a sneer flashed across his eyes as he laughed loudly. "White Dragon City's City Lord, since you're here, then show yourself. What's the point of hiding? Are you planning to seize the Sovereign Spirit Treasury while we're unprepared?"
His voice was enveloped by Spiritual Energy as it resounded across the heavens and earth, causing many forces and experts to be startled, especially those from the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction and Earthen Way Sect. Their eyes were filled with bewilderment. This time, the City Lord of White Dragon City actually came personally?
The grey-robed elder's face turned cold when he heard Mu Chen's shout. Did this kid attack Bai Dong on purpose?
Under the countless gazes, one person slowly walked out from the group of white-robed people. He lifted his white robe to reveal the face of a middle-aged man. Based on his appearance, it was White Dragon City's City Lord, Bai Xuan!
"What a scheming young man."
Bai Xuan faintly smiled as he stared at Mu Chen with a cold glint in his eyes. He'd planned on hiding himself, but he never imagined that Mu Chen would force him to reveal himself.
"It seems that your White Dragon City is determined to obtain the Sovereign Spirit Treasury."
Mu Chen stared at Bai Xuan. He could sense the tyrannical Spiritual Energy fluctuations coming from the latter's body. This guy was at least at the Heavenly Transform Stage Middle Phase. He was quite powerful.
"Naturally, I'll give it my all for a treasure of this level."
Bai Xuan indifferently smiled, then shook his head. "But since you've forced me to reveal myself, I'll have to properly thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xuan's eyes turned cold. An astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuation erupted from his body like a storm. He took a step forward and charged towards Mu Chen like a ghost.
Mu Chen's expression changed as he retreated.
"You think you can escape?"
Bai Xuan sneered. In a flash, he'd caught up to Mu Chen and thrust his palm forward. Spiritual Energy surged from his palm like an unending tidal wave, causing the air to explode.
Mu Chen hastily retreated, not daring to face Bai Xuan's attack head-on. With a thought, the Stone Guardian stepped through the air and appeared in front of Mu Chen. The Stone Guardian's fist collided with Bai Xuan's.
Boom!
A loud noise resounded, and the Stone Guardian was sent flying.
Mu Chen's expression darkened. Bai Xuan was indeed powerful. No wonder he was the City Lord of White Dragon City. He'd forced the Stone Guardian back with a single punch.
"That thing alone won't be enough to save your life." Bai Xuan's face was expressionless as he closed in again. His palm formed a claw and slashed down.
"Demonic Dragon Tearing Sky Claw!"
Boom!
His five fingers tore through the air. Compared to the grey-robed elder, Bai Xuan's "Demonic Dragon Sky-Ripping Claw" was even more ferocious.
Mu Chen watched Bai Xuan's ruthless attacks. His eyes turned cold and he joined his hands together. But just as he was about to activate his Divine Art, a torrential spiritual light swept out from behind him. It enveloped his body and formed a barrier of Spiritual Energy.
Boom!
The sharp wind from the claw ruthlessly tore at the light screen, causing a violent Spiritual Energy fluctuation to burst out. However, it did not manage to tear the light screen apart.
"Who is it?!" Bai Xuan's eyes turned cold.
"City Lord of White Dragon City. You're a famous person, but you're attacking a youth so ruthlessly.
I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? "
A gentle and lively voice was transmitted from behind. Everyone looked over, only to see three figures swiftly flying over from afar.
The one in the lead was a young woman. She wore a white dress and looked gentle and charming.
Her beautiful face gave her a special temperament.
"Su Xuan."
When Li Qing saw the three of them, she couldn't help but feel happy. Su Xuan had finally arrived.
Bai Xuan's indifferent gaze was fixed on Su Xuan. A sharp glint flashed through the depths of his eyes. He could sense Spiritual Energy fluctuations from her body that weren't any weaker than his own.
It seemed that this woman …
Was Hokuang Reiwon's third place on the Heavenly Ranking, Su Xuan?
She was a disciple that Hokuang Reiwon had personally nurtured.
She was indeed powerful. To reach such a level at such a young age.
She wasn't any weaker than the top disciples of the Demonic Dragon Palace.
"Hokuang Reiwon is quite something," Bai Xuan said as he looked at Su Xuan.
Bai Xuan smiled faintly.
"I'm indebted to City Lord Bai's praise."
With a slight smile, Su Xuan waved her jade-like hand. The Spiritual Energy barrier that enveloped Mu Chen dissipated and the latter flew over.
Su Ling 'er's eyes widened as she looked at Mu Chen and said, "You're really a troublemaker. It hasn't even been half a day and you've already clashed with the people from White Dragon City."
"They're the ones who ambushed us that night." Mu Chen lowered his voice. "They're from the Demonic Dragon Palace."
"What?"
Su Ling 'er and Guo Xiong were shocked. Even Su Xuan's beautiful eyes narrowed. Although White Dragon City wasn't very old, they'd been in the White Dragon Hillock for more than ten years. Who would've thought that they were pawns of the Demonic Dragon Palace? The Demonic Dragon Palace was truly unfathomable. No wonder even their Hokuang Reiwon was so afraid of them.
In the distance, when Bai Xuan saw the shock on Su Ling 'er's and the others' faces, he seemed to have sensed something. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a strange smile as he gave them a deep look. Then, he turned around and returned to the White Dragon City group. Now that Su Xuan had appeared, it wouldn't be easy for him to kill Lin Dong. Furthermore, they had more important matters to attend to.
As long as he could obtain that item, killing those brats would be as easy as flipping his hand.
As Bai Xuan flew back, countless people around the black basin looked at him warily, especially those from the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction and the Earthen Way Sect. They looked at each other as if they'd come to some sort of agreement and moved closer to each other. From the looks of it, they wanted to use this opportunity to resist the strongest force, White Dragon City.
Bai Xuan's eyes were sharp and he noticed this. However, he only coldly smiled and didn't pay it any mind.
The grey-robed elder's eyes darkened as he said, "City Lord, it seems that we've been placed in the limelight by that brat."
"They're just a bunch of grasshoppers. What can they possibly do? Do they really think that White Dragon City is only capable of that?" Bai Xuan smiled indifferently.
"Father, what exactly did we come here to take?" Bai Dong glared fiercely in Mu Chen's direction and asked in a low voice.
Bai Xuan's brows furrowed. "The order I received was to take the most precious item from the White Dragon Sovereign's Spirit Treasury. I didn't receive any specific information."
"The most precious item?"
The grey-robed elder looked into the depths of the black basin. "Then it should be here. This is where the White Dragon Sovereign fell!"
"But I don't see any Spirit Treasury here," Bai Dong said doubtfully.
Bai Xuan stared at the black basin and slowly said, "That's because there's a seal placed here. Right now, all we need to do is wait for the sun and moon to intersect. When the spiritual energy in this space suddenly becomes chaotic, the seal will appear. When that happens, we'll destroy it and the Spirit Treasury will naturally appear."
"For now, we just need to wait quietly."
With that, he closed his eyes and said no more.
It seemed that they weren't the only ones who knew about this. The other forces and experts had also sensed something strange about the black basin. That was why they didn't act blindly without thinking. Instead, they quietly waited.
They waited for nearly half a day. Then, the sky gradually darkened and the Spiritual Energy in this space began to quietly fluctuate.
Just as the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth began to fluctuate, Mu Chen's eyes suddenly focused on the black basin. There, he saw mysterious, thousand-meter-tall black stone pillars emitting a faint light.
"The Spirit Treasury is about to appear!"
His heart trembled at the sight, and his eyes blazed with passion.
