"Commander Gu! I have already fled from here and hid in the distant Tianlan Grassland. Why are you still insisting on chasing me and trying to kill me?"
Before the laughter had completely died down, the entire carriage suddenly exploded.
Then a thick white mist-like cold air suddenly rushed towards the fireballs, and in the blink of an eye, the fireballs were instantly extinguished in the cold air.
A brave young man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
He appeared in front of everyone, holding a crystal clear white round bead in his hand. His face had a complex and changing expression.
Seeing this scene, the monks on the giant bats all showed joy on their faces.
"Jiang Jianying, the Snow Crystal Pearl is actually in your hands. The Palace Master ordered you to take the pearl to Beihan Mountain to look for Elder Beixuan."
"However, you were so bold as to abscond with the treasure without permission. What else can I say now?"
"If you are willing to listen to our advice and return on your own initiative, perhaps we can spare your life."
The smile on the male cultivator's face disappeared, revealing a ferocious and ferocious look as he spoke sternly.
At the same time, the six cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage immediately adjusted their positions and blocked the sturdy young man's directions and retreat in an orderly manner.
"Are you asking me to go find that old man Xuanbing and use me as a living sacrifice?"
"Don't think I don't know what your original intention was in sending me on this mission."
"You just saw that I have an ice spirit root, which just happens to meet the needs of the Northern Mysterious Sky Demon to refine this pearl."
"If I am caught by you, my life will be in danger and I will not even be able to rest in peace!"
Hearing the male cultivator's threat, the young man was immediately furious and burst into laughter.
"Humph! So what if that's the case? You should understand that the achievements and strength you have achieved now are all due to the full support of my palace's resources. Otherwise, how could you be where you are today?"
"Decades ago, you were a beggar living on the streets, but you have long since turned into a pile of dirt."
"This is pure nonsense! If Jiang didn't have the unique ice spirit root, how could I be selected into the palace?"
"As for my special spiritual roots, even if the palace has not valued me, I will be favored by large sects sooner or later."
"Regarding trivial matters such as marrying a wife and having children, in an attempt to exchange them for my loyalty and life, the court can actually be so far-sighted?"
The young man answered sarcastically, then decisively raised the white crystal bead in his hand.
A thick icy mist gushed out from the bead, forming an icy mist barrier more than twenty feet high that enveloped it.
"You have a rebellious heart already inside you. No wonder you even abandoned your family."
"It seems that I have no choice but to take you back to the palace to be punished. Do you think you can resist us with just this snow crystal bead? It's simply a foolish dream!"
The woman said this without any emotion, then waved her hands lightly, and the six Foundation Establishment practitioners raised their right hands at the same time.
A bright red flag appeared in their hands, and then they threw the flag out, which turned into six balls of blazing flames that merged into one.
A fire cloud with an area of about one acre slowly rose above the ice fog and gradually pressed downward.
Since the appearance of this young man, these people have been communicating using the Dajin language.
The other Tuwu people knew nothing about this and were very confused.
Chen Yun was fluent in the Dajin language and was dumbfounded as he listened.
"What do you mean by palace? Commander? It sounds like it is completely different from ordinary immortal cultivation sects. Instead, it is more like the existence of those large and small forces in the Chaos Star Sea."
"Is it possible that the world of immortal cultivation in Dajin is as chaotic and complicated as the Chaos Star Sea?"
Although the other Tuwu people could not understand the language of Dajin, they also realized that the situation was not good.
Those mortals have quietly retreated, looking for hiding places.
However, those sudden immortal cultivators were afraid of causing misunderstanding and did not dare to leave without permission. They had to cast protective shields on themselves to prevent themselves from being harmed innocently.
The fire cloud collided with the ice fog below, and the hot air and cold air intertwined and flowed, forming streams of icy steam that spread in all directions.
The battle scene was extremely spectacular.
Although the Snow Crystal Bead possessed magical powers, this young Foundation Establishment Stage practitioner was unable to fully master it and therefore was unable to manipulate it as he wished.
After the initial confrontation, Ice Mist was immediately at a disadvantage.
The young man in the ice fog was obviously aware of the danger, and tried his best to control the ice fog to break through the fire cloud, but he was always trapped in the fire cloud by the six practitioners.
Soon after, the ice fog gradually shrank.
The young man tried desperately to infuse magic power into the beads, but was still unable to resist the erosion of the fire cloud. After just one meal's time, the ice fog shrank to a few feet in size.
"Commander Gu, please lend a hand. This man is still useful, so make sure you capture him alive."
Seeing this situation, the woman in the Jindan stage suddenly turned to the man and asked.
"Don't worry. Gu will be in charge of this matter."
The man nodded indifferently, his figure flashed, turned into a white light, and rushed straight into the ice fog.
Upon seeing this, the six Foundation Establishment practitioners simultaneously cast spells to retract the surrounding fire clouds.
There was a violent fluctuation in the ice mist, and a moment later there was a huge explosion and a heavy groan.
Then, the ice fog gradually dissipated, revealing the scene inside.
The man stood proudly there, holding the unconscious young man in one hand and tightly grasping the snow crystal bead in the other.
When the opponent's strength was greatly weakened, the man used his Jindan stage cultivation to attack and successfully captured the opponent in one fell swoop.
When the woman in the Jindan stage saw this scene, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.
"Keep a good look at him. This operation has not been in vain."
The man waved his hand and threw the young man to a subordinate, while giving instructions.
Then he turned to look at Chen Yun and others who had been observing the battle situation, his expression grim.
"I would like to remind you all. This is the Tianlan Grassland, not the location of our Nine Immortal Palace."
"Although we have reached a consensus with the Tianlan Holy Temple, we still need to be cautious in our actions to avoid possible troubles."
"Don't easily infringe on the interests of any Tuwu tribe. They attach great importance to protecting their own people!"
Seeing this, the woman frowned slightly and warned him. "Got it, let's leave now. Oh, look at this..."
The man nodded repeatedly, and just as he was about to fly the giant bat back, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the ground.
Suddenly, he discovered something scattered among them and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Chen Yun noticed this and followed closely to observe, only to see a slightly translucent pebble lying there.
This stone is quite unique. Its outer layer is crystal clear, while inside you can vaguely see a ball of flame-like golden light flickering constantly, emitting a strange glow.
Because the surface of the stone was almost covered with dust, it had not attracted anyone's attention before.
However, after being washed with hot water steam just now, it finally revealed the tip of the iceberg of its original appearance.
"This is actually the Golden Flame Stone! No wonder you, my friend Chen, have such an opportunity at such a young age. It is truly extraordinary!"
Chen Yun was feeling a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen something similar somewhere, but the first thing that came to his mind was the surprised exclamation of Lord Dayan.
At this moment he suddenly remembered that this thing was the most important raw material needed to refine a replica of the Seven Flame Fan!
It has been extinct in the Tiannan region for many years, and even the Great Yan God cannot give a definite answer as to whether it can be found in the Dajin territory.
At this time, the man seemed to have recognized the true identity of the stone. An expression of extreme joy appeared in his eyes, and his figure shook.
He instantly arrived next to the Golden Flame Stone, bent over to pick it up, and was so excited that he couldn't help but put it in his arms.
With a whoosh sound, a golden light suddenly flashed before the man's eyes, and then the golden flame stone flew into the air without any warning and rushed towards the front.
The man was shocked both physically and mentally by the sudden change. He was unable to dodge in time and his reaction was naturally delayed for a moment. When he was anxiously trying to reach out and grab it,
It was already too late to realize that the Golden Flame Stone had already transformed into a dazzling golden light at an incredibly fast speed and disappeared into the hands of another person nearby in the blink of an eye.
This scene, whether it was the Dajin monks present or the confused Tuo people on the side, were all stunned in an instant. And this person, of course, was undoubtedly Chen Yun.
At this moment, Chen Yun was seen holding the stone in one hand and examining it intently, seemingly completely ignoring the presence of other people around him.
The complexion of the man in the Jindan stage turned extremely pale almost instantly.
His eyes widened, filled with rage that was about to burst out, and he stared at Chen Yun viciously like a trapped beast, gritting his teeth and saying word by word:
"Give me that thing back, and then cut off one of your arms. Then I can spare your life."
After reconfirmation by Lord Dayan, Chen Yun confirmed that the stone was indeed Golden Flame Stone.
So he put the stone into his storage bag without hesitation, raised his head and smiled at the man, and replied calmly:
"I like this stone very much, too. Since I don't want to give it to you, I don't want to hurt myself."
"Then, fellow Taoists, can you please just leave as if nothing happened?"
After hearing what Chen Yun said, the anger in the man's heart erupted like a volcano.
His face instantly turned gloomy as water, his two fists were clenched tightly, and a white aura over a foot long suddenly emanated from his body, and it was obvious that he was ready to take action.
"Commander Gu, what exactly happened? What is that strange object?"
"If it's not something important, don't make any more trouble."
The Jindan woman next to him keenly sensed something unusual about Chen Yun and suddenly spoke.
After hearing this, Commander Gu hesitated for a moment, then moved his lips slightly to convey a message to her.
After a moment, the woman in white robe showed a shocked expression and fell into deep thought.
"Is this really the item? Didn't we make a mistake?" The white woman looked solemn and asked seriously in the language of the Dajin.
"That's absolutely right. You should know that I originally came from the Equipment Refining Department."
"I have read the book 'Records of Strange Stones of Heaven and Earth' countless times. This is definitely the Golden Flame Stone we are looking for."
"As long as I can bring this rare treasure back to the Immortal Palace and present it to the Palace Master, even the merits of capturing a traitor and recovering the Snow Crystal Pearl will seem insignificant."
The man said firmly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
After hearing these words, the woman's gaze lingered on Chen Yun for a moment, and she confirmed again that he was indeed only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Then a cold light flashed in her eyes, and the murderous aura between her brows gradually spread.
"Get started! Not only must we deal with this person, but we must also catch all the Tuo people in one fell swoop."
"Without witnesses, even the Tianlan Holy Temple will not tear its face with our Immortal Palace because of a few low-level immortal masters and hundreds of mortals. At most, the price of the items in this transaction will be reduced by another 10%."
The woman in white raised her eyebrows and shouted sternly.
At the same time, a silver light spurted out of her mouth and instantly arrived in front of a Tuwu cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Although the sudden man was covered with a layer of blue shield, he was still able to face the full force attack of the Jindan cultivator.
How could he resist? He let out a shrill scream, and the shield broke. He died and was cut in half.
After circling in the air for a while, the silver rainbow revealed its true appearance. It turned out to be a shining flying knife, about a foot long.
After hearing the command from the leading woman, the other Dajin cultivators in the foundation-building stage immediately took out their respective magic weapons and rushed towards the remaining three Tuwu human immortal masters.
As for those mortals who are far away, they don't need to rush to eliminate them for the time being. After all, they have nowhere to escape.
Seeing these Dajin monks starting to take action, the three Tuwu cultivators were naturally shocked and angry.
However, their opponents were a team of six Foundation Establishment cultivators, one of whom was in the early Foundation Establishment stage, and the other two were in the Qi Refining stage.
Although they fought back with all their might, they were ultimately unable to withstand the combined attack of the six monks, and in the blink of an eye, they were killed by the sword.
What was even more shocking was that two monks rushed towards the carriage that Feng Yue was riding in, attempting to eliminate this mysterious man.
The woman in the Jindan stage standing on a high place was watching everything in front of her with a calm expression, as if she had foreseen this outcome.
However, when she turned to look at the man, the expression on her face suddenly changed.
It turned out that after the woman gave the order to act, the man responded quickly.
His natal flying sword spewed out of his mouth, transformed into a white beam of light, and flew straight towards Chen Yun.
Chen Yun sighed, turned his palm, and suddenly a small black flag appeared in his hand.
After gently swaying, the banner immediately unfolded, forming a layer of light curtain that enveloped Chen Yun's entire body.
When the silver beam hit the light curtain head-on, it was actually bounced back, unable to cause any damage to it. (End of this chapter)
