Chapter 1429 Zhang Liuyi Escapes from the Furnace and Seizes Another Body

There were five people who came here. Two of them had red hair and red eyes and were strong. They were obviously not Taoist cultivators. Liu Xuan recognized them as clansmen under Xu Yi, one of the Emperor's sons.

The other three cultivators, dressed in Taoist robes and with their hair tied in tall crowns, were likely disciples of Taiyuan.

These people arrived here a month ago, openly and secretly trying to find out where Zhao Chun was. However, after several attempts, they were unable to get any information out of Liu Xuan. As a result, they became suspicious and secretly instigated and provoked several members of the Sun Palace Clan, which led to today's events.

Zhao Chun had a formidable reputation, and under normal circumstances, these three Taiyuan disciples would likely not have dared to act in this way. However, there was a reason for today's events, and the East Sea had long been occupied by Taiyuan. Given that the Gong clan members had come forward to request an audience that day, it was likely that the other side would not dare to act recklessly at sea.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Demon of the Sun Palace was rude and disrespectful to the princes, who were also openly and secretly fighting among themselves. The two members of the clan of the Prince Xu were furious when they failed to see Zhao Chun. Ignoring Liu Xuan's obstruction, they tried to force their way into Zhao Chun's residence.

Having been struck by his sword energy, his body was split in two, yet he was not dead for the time being. He merely looked terrified and gasped, "Hiss, Master Fan, didn't you say that Zhao Chun wasn't on the island...?"

The red-haired, red-eyed demon rushed forward to help. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the sword energy that had severed his clansmen's bodies showed no signs of fading. He had only glanced at it, but his eyes felt as if they were being pricked by needles.

He was suddenly shocked and took several steps back, saying in a trembling voice, "Such powerful methods! It must be Zhao Chun! Daoist Fan, you have to give me an explanation!"

A month ago, this Taoist priest surnamed Fan, accompanied by two fellow disciples, came to Xu Yi. He said that Zhao Chun had come here on a secret order from the sect, to ensure that Zhao Yan would exclusively possess the destiny of the world. He and Liu Xuan had already secretly conspired against each other. Liu Xuan, in order to pledge allegiance to Zhao Yan, was covering for Zhao Chun. Once the deed was done, her share of the credit would surpass that of all the other imperial princes, thus greatly increasing her chances of seizing the throne. If Xu Yi didn't believe him, he could send someone to investigate and see if Zhao Chun was still cultivating on the island.

This attempt at sowing discord was clumsy, yet it struck a nerve with Xu Yi. Of the nine imperial princes, she, Kong He, and Ling Yi seemed to be the most likely to seize the throne. This was because these three princes had refined the blood of the Imperial Crow the earliest and possessed the most outstanding cultivation. For the other princes to catch up with her and the other two, it would require more than just time.

There are also cultivation resources bestowed by the clan.

The nine imperial sons' struggles not only refer to the three clans, but also sometimes to the clans themselves, where they fight tooth and nail to gain the favor of the clan elders and to get more years of cultivation in the Blood Pool.

At this time, as the only imperial son of the Six-Winged Azure Bird clan, Liu Xuan naturally received the full support of all resources.

The time it took him to break through from the Nascent Soul stage to his current level is less than a third of what it used to be. This shows that this person's threat to the throne is no less than that of Kong He and Ling Yi!

Now, with these words from Master Fan, how could Xu Yi not be alarmed?

So he sent two clansmen to see where Zhao Chun was.

Seeing Fan Daoren's resolute attitude and confident in the backing of the Emperor's son, the Sun Palace clan members who had been sent here emboldened themselves, preparing to unleash their full power and crush Liu Xuan and the others' morale. However, they hadn't expected Zhao Chun to act so decisively; with a single sword strike, she nearly killed a powerful demon at the Divine Transformation stage—truly terrifying!
The two men were still shaken and harbored resentment towards the Taoist priest Fan for not telling the truth. They glared at each other, ready to confront and challenge him.

However, Master Fan merely frowned in thought, then slightly turned his eyes, wishing he could penetrate the island's restrictions and glimpse its interior.

Faced with the questioning of the Sun Palace Demon, he merely chuckled twice and whispered, "The sword energy is here, but the person is not."

Most of the Heavenly Demons were straightforward and disliked the Taoist cultivators' ambiguous manner of speaking in ambiguity. So they said, "Whether she is there or not, it has nothing to do with my brother and me! You didn't explain things clearly before, and now this is a death mission. We'll go back and report to the Emperor's son. You guys go and fight Zhao Chun to the death!"

After saying that, he helped the injured person up and turned to leave.

Beside Master Fan, a slender young woman felt a pang of anxiety and whispered to him, "Senior Brother, are we just going to let him leave like this?"

Fan Daoren frowned and remained silent, gazing at the island in the mist with narrowed eyes. After a long while, he said, "What use are those two if they're scared out of their wits? It would be better to go back and report this matter. I think that Prince Xuyi will probably have some other ideas in mind."

As for eroding human relationships, he wasn't worried at all. These celestial demons were all arrogant and haughty. No matter how much outsiders tried to reason with them, it would be useless. Only by offering them real benefits could they be made to get these privileged fools anxious.

They had already used those two celestial demons to test the waters, but it was not advisable to make any further moves in the short term. After all, according to Xu Yi, there was still a Void Realm Elder on Liu Xuan Island. If they were to act carelessly and the Elder were to find fault with them, the sect might not be able to protect the three of them.

Especially at such a critical juncture...

Master Fan sighed deeply, his heart heavy with sorrow. Seeing this, the young woman could only comfort him, saying, "Senior brother, don't worry. This time, Elder Zuo will personally preside over the Qiding ceremony, and the sect leader will also personally oversee it. Even if Zhao Chun isn't on the island, with her limited cultivation, how could she possibly trigger the great formation?"

Regardless of what the three thought, the mere mention of the underwater formation that the sect had set up for many years calmed them down a little, which shows the power of the formation.

This also shows how crucial this formation is. Therefore, no matter how hard these three racked their brains, they could never have guessed that Zhao Chun was currently at the eye of the formation, separated from Zuo Hongcan only by a patch of ground.

Perhaps it was because Wang Fengyan's primordial spirit had stirred, Wang Yuexun, who had previously been taken into Zhao Chun's sleeve, also made some movements as a result.

"Although there is a barrier, we still have to be careful. If it causes a disturbance and alerts the outside world, it will be quite disadvantageous for me!"

For his own safety, Zhao Chun was reluctant to let her out, but then a sudden idea struck him and he came up with another plan in a short time.

So he took the Heaven and Earth Furnace in his hand, and sent Wang Yuexun into the furnace from his sleeve. He then transformed into a sword light and swiftly entered the furnace. Before she could regain consciousness, he checked the acupoints and dantian that had been sealed earlier for any abnormalities.

After reading it quickly, Wang Yuexun opened her eyes, but her face was flushed, the veins on her forehead were bulging, and her limbs were stiff and she could not move. She did not even notice Zhao Chun walking to her side, as if her mind was elsewhere.

Seeing this, Zhao Chun, though he did not personally investigate, could tell from the situation that Wang Yuexun was probably possessed and was putting up a stubborn resistance with her own Purple Mansion!

As for the person who would possess her body, Zhao Chun had no other thought than Wang Fengyan.

She then stood still, thinking to herself, "I only promised to spare your life. Now Wang Fengyan wants to fight you for this body. Whether you live or die depends entirely on your own fate."

As for the final outcome, one is a primordial spirit with divine cultivation, while the other only has external cultivation. The outcome is probably quite obvious.

This possession lasted for two whole days and nights before Wang Yuexun's body suddenly trembled, her eyes bulging and almost popping out of their sockets. After about fifteen minutes, everything calmed down again.

Inside the furnace of heaven and earth, only the latter's heavy breathing could be heard for a moment.

In her drowsy state, Wang Yuexun's vision gradually cleared, and she vaguely saw a figure.

This immediately made her realize something was wrong. She forcefully controlled the body she had just taken over and prepared to explain herself to that person.

But before she could even see the person's face clearly, she had already heard their voice:
“Fellow Daoist Wang, if we address you like this now, I wonder which Fellow Daoist Wang will be answering us.”

Wang Yuexun's mind suddenly cleared, and instantly, a familiar face that she had seen before but had not seen for hundreds of years appeared before her eyes at this critical moment concerning her life!

Although the primordial spirit that seized this body was refined from the primordial spirit of her twin sister, ultimately, it could not be said to be her own. Even though Wang Yuexun was a major realm lower than her, this body-seizing was extremely difficult and fraught with danger for her. Now that the body-seizing was successful, her mind was still hazy, as if she were in a dream.

But the appearance of Zhao Chun's face turned everything into a nightmare.

In an instant, with just a glance, Zhao Chun was able to determine whose primordial spirit remained within Wang Yuexun's body.

Her gaze turned cold as she faced Wang Fengyan, who had just used the possession technique. She immediately raised her sword and beheaded him before he could speak, forcing his primordial spirit to be captured by her in a state of panic and confusion!
"Fellow Daoist, please be careful, my sword energy has no eyes."

Zhao Chun's heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself that Wang Fengyan knew far more than Wang Yuexun, and she should question her thoroughly.

Having barely managed to escape by possessing another body, she found herself trapped in a wolf's den. She was helpless against Zuo Hongcan, and she was equally powerless against Zhao Chun before her.

Wang Fengyan's primordial spirit trembled slightly, and a desperate voice emerged, saying, "I never thought Wang Yuexun would fall into your hands... But how could you know that the one who possessed her this time was me?"

Seeing Zhao Chun's confident demeanor, as if she had known about this all along and was waiting for it to happen, Wang Fengyan was quite puzzled.

However, Zhao Chun did not answer this question. Instead, she smiled and casually asked, "Since you're already at your wit's end, just answer my question. Tell me, who was the man you were talking to earlier?"

The primordial spirit suddenly fell silent, remaining speechless for a long time.

Zhao Chun chuckled and said, "He wants to kill you, so why bother covering for him? Just answer my question and you might be able to save your life."

Little did they know that Wang Fengyan harbored deep hatred for Zuo Hongcan. Her silence was due to shock at Zhao Chun's words, which she found hard to believe!
