Qinghe Immortal Clan.

"Fellow Daoists, I have come to lend a helping hand!"

Seeing that Song Qingming and the others seemed to be getting better by gathering together, Yang Fengyu, who had gained nothing from several battles, quickly moved closer to them.

Although this time the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Map" spat out significantly more treasures than the last time.

However, the number of cultivators who came to seize the treasure this time was more than double that of the past, and the main hall was filled with various kinds of escape lights.

Faced with so many Nascent Soul experts vying for the same thing, Yang Fengyu, acting alone, repeatedly brushed past the spiritual objects, and really had no good solutions.

The only thing we can do is try to follow Song Qingming and the others and see if we can gain anything from it.

Although Song Qingming saw through Yang Fengyu's intentions at a glance, he didn't mind too much.

Standing in the middle of the group, his eyes remained fixed on the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Map" in front of him, as if he was still expecting something to appear.

Since breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, Song Qingming has accumulated a considerable number of high-level magic treasures and talismans through numerous fortuitous encounters, and he is not lacking in such items.

The spiritual items he wanted to compete for were mainly those that could help him quickly improve his cultivation level, such as high-grade elixirs, herbs, and fruits.

Especially the legendary high-level spiritual object, the "Mysterious Spirit Pill," which is said to appear in this place.

Not only Song Qingming, but also most of the cultivators present, including those at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and above, including the demon race, were there for this item.

After all, spiritual objects that can help cultivators break through to the late Nascent Soul stage are rare in the entire cultivation world; otherwise, there wouldn't be so few late Nascent Soul stage cultivators in various regions.

Just as everyone was busy vying for spiritual items in the main hall, more than a dozen lone Nascent Soul cultivators broke into the passage outside.

Compared to Song Qingming and his group, who were organized and acting in an organized manner, these people were mostly Nascent Soul cultivators from outside the area, with only one or two of them traveling together at most. Therefore, their speed in getting here was significantly slower than theirs.

However, among these people, there were a few with considerable strength, especially two people wearing gray robes, both of whom were Nascent Soul Level 6 cultivators. As soon as they entered, the two of them seized two "five-colored light orbs" from the hands of many cultivators.

What surprised Song Qingming even more was that among the cultivators who came in, there were several who clearly carried a trace of demonic energy, seemingly demonic cultivators from the vicinity of the "Floating Cloud Mountains".

Since the battle to destroy the demons at Taiyue Lake, several major demons, including Gu Daoyun, the Blood Demon Ancestor, and the Cangyun Old Demon, have perished, and the demonic forces of the Floating Cloud Mountains have suffered a devastating blow.

In recent decades, no demonic cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage have appeared in the "Floating Cloud Mountains," making it much more peaceful than before.

Even those low-level demonic cultivators below the Golden Core stage have been less active than before, and many demonic cultivators have chosen to leave the cultivation world of the "Floating Cloud Mountains" due to pressure from righteous sects.

Unexpectedly, after decades, these demonic cultivators have not completely disappeared, and several unfamiliar Nascent Soul demons have suddenly reappeared.

Upon seeing the other party, Song Qingming couldn't recognize them at all, and had no way of judging whether they were local demons who had advanced or came from other cultivation worlds outside.

The main hall was in chaos, with thirty or forty Nascent Soul cultivators gathered there, each desperately vying for the constantly appearing "five-colored light orbs".

No one cares whether their opponent is a demonic cultivator or a demon expert.

Even the righteous sects like Song Qingming would inevitably fight each other for these high-level spiritual treasures that were right in front of them.

After dozens of "five-colored light clusters" appeared one after another, a flash of light appeared in the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Map", and suddenly five or six more "five-colored light clusters" of different colors flew out.

Among these "colorful orbs of light," one golden orb was noticeably larger and more dazzling, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Mysterious Spirit Pill!"

Upon seeing the appearance of this rather unusual ball of light, the many cultivators who were vying for the spiritual treasure quickly stopped what they were doing and rushed towards the location of the "golden ball of light".

Although Song Qingming had never seen the "Mysterious Spirit Pill" before, seeing how excited Wang Yan and the others were when they saw it, he instantly recognized it.

After exchanging a glance with Bai Yuxian and the others, everyone spontaneously gathered around the location of the "golden ball of light".

The first to arrive beside the "golden ball of light" was the "Thunderflame Demon Emperor," who was the fastest cultivator among all the Nascent Soul cultivators present.

"Haha! The Mysterious Spirit Pill is mine."

Seeing that he had gotten closer to the "golden ball of light" before the others, "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" was immediately excited and reached out to grab the ball of light.

But before the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" could even touch the ball of light in front of him, the "golden ball of light" suddenly turned around in mid-air, brushed past his hand, and flew to the other side.

The opponent's sudden move caught the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor," who had felt confident of victory, off guard, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

Seeing that the "golden ball of light" was still actively avoiding his pursuit, the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" flashed his escape light and chased after him again.

However, before he could even get close to the location of the "golden ball of light," a sword light had already flown in front of him, quickly forcing the pursuing "Thunderflame Demon Emperor" back.

"Hehe! This thing doesn't seem to like Fellow Daoist Lei Yan very much, so why don't you give it to me?"

While still in mid-air, Wang Yan forced back the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" in front of him with a sword strike, then immediately flashed to the side of the "Golden Light Ball" and cast a spell to release a large golden net, intending to trap it inside.

Although Wang Yan was prepared, the "golden ball of light" was clearly not so easy to subdue.

Just as it was trapped in the golden net, it suddenly had a flash of inspiration and escaped from the side before the other party could close the net.

Wang Yan was equally surprised to see this.

At this moment, another white-clad figure caught up with the "golden ball of light" in mid-air not far away. It was Xia Mo, who had come with Song Qingming and the others.

Seeing that Wang Yan and his companion had been tricked by the "golden ball of light," Xia Mo did not rush to capture them after catching up. Instead, she cast a spell to release several flower petals that turned into ropes, locking them in mid-air.

Although the "golden ball of light" locked by the petals struggled fiercely, the colorful petals held it firmly in place, and soon the ball of light fell directly into Xia Mo's hands.

Xia Mo had barely caught a glimpse of the "golden ball of light" when several streaks of light surrounded her, clearly not intending to let her obtain it easily.

Seeing this, Xia Mo once again manipulated countless petals to fly around and gather on her body, and soon she disappeared from everyone's sight.

"It's this trick again!"

Upon seeing this familiar scene, "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" immediately stopped his attack and released his divine sense to scan the surroundings. He then noticed that countless petals were quietly emerging not far to the side.

"Where do you think you're going to hide!"

Before Xia Mo could even show herself, "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" let out a loud shout and transformed into lightning, hurtling straight towards the colorful petals in the void.

At this moment, Xia Mo's figure gradually appeared in the void, and she also saw the fierce lightning coming from the front. Her originally calm expression became more solemn.

Even though she had foreseen that she would face attacks from many experts after obtaining the "Golden Light Ball," Xia Mo did not expect that the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" would pinpoint her location so quickly.

Before she could even regain her footing, Xia Mo was clearly too late to dodge the attack, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.

Whether to take the attack head-on or to give up the "golden ball of light" she had just managed to obtain, neither was a good choice for her.

Just as Xia Mo was still hesitating about whether to give up the "golden ball of light" in her hand, at this critical moment, a flash of light appeared in the void, and a figure suddenly appeared beside her.

"Fellow Daoist Song!"

Seeing Xia Mo's surprised expression, Song Qingming, who was fully activating the "Myriad Spirits Puppet Array," had no time to respond and immediately locked his gaze on the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" in front of him.

The next moment, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" appeared in front of Song Qingming, and then transformed into five bronze mirrors that enveloped him and Xia Mo.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

After several loud explosions, blue and white spiritual light shone in front of Song Qingming, and a huge shockwave shot out. The aftershocks of the explosion also made other cultivators who had rushed over from a distance immediately stop in their tracks.

After the surrounding spiritual light dissipated, "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" was the first to retreat rapidly from the center of the battlefield, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

Soon after, Song Qingming and Xia Mo's figures gradually appeared, still standing safely in mid-air.

Back in the Qin Dynasty, during the war, the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" and Song Qingming fought several battles and were evenly matched.

Unexpectedly, only a few decades have passed, and his full-force attack failed to even budge Song Qingming, who had just arrived. It was clear that the opponent's strength had improved considerably since then.

At this moment, the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" looked at Song Qingming with a hint of fear, and for a moment he dared not make a direct move.

Wang Yan and the others who arrived from a distance, after a moment's thought, also decided not to make a move and chose to stand aside and observe.

Just as the group ahead hesitated for a moment, several more streaks of light landed beside Song Qingming not far away. It was Bai Yuxian, Song Qingyu, and the others who had arrived.

Even the "Ice and Fire Dragon," which Song Qingming had been hiding in the shadows, took the initiative to appear beside him.

Seeing that the other side had gained many more helpers, "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" immediately addressed the other demon emperors behind him: "The Profound Spirit Pill must not be given to human cultivators. Everyone, come with me to take it back."

Upon hearing what the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" said, five or six demon emperors who were close to him quickly moved towards him, blocking Song Qingming and Xia Mo's path. The other demon emperors who arrived nearby, like Wang Yan and the others, stood aside without rushing to join the battle, seemingly wanting to observe the situation before making their move and see if there was an opportunity to seize the spiritual treasures.

Seeing that the other side had fewer people than they did, "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" felt more confident and led several demon emperors to surround Song Qingming and Xia Mo. A great battle was about to break out between the two sides.

"Hey! There are golden orbs of light inside."

Just as Song Qingming and his group were engaged in a fierce battle, someone suddenly shouted out from not far away. A golden ball of light, exactly the same as the one in Xia Mo's hand, suddenly shot out from the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Map".

Upon seeing the familiar "golden ball of light" reappear, Wang Yan and the others, who were still observing nearby, immediately slipped away and headed straight for another "golden ball of light."

For a time, apart from Song Qingming and others who were engaged in fierce fighting, all the other cultivators on the battlefield moved to other battlefields, leaving only a few people to observe.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, we can only do our best. Whether you can leave or not is up to you!"

Now that Xia Mo has snatched the "golden orb" that everyone is eyeing, regardless of whether it actually contains the "Mysterious Spirit Pill," she has become the target of everyone's attention. Continuing to stay in the main hall will only make her a target for other cultivators.

To obtain the spiritual items inside, we must quickly find a way to leave the main hall.

Right now, Wang Yan and the others are chasing another "golden light," which is the best time for her to escape.

Otherwise, once the others are free to surround her, even if Xia Mo is strong, it won't be easy for her to leave this place when facing so many Nascent Soul experts eyeing her covetously.

After all, Song Qingming and his group were only a few people, and they could only barely hold off the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor's" siege. They couldn't possibly stop everyone who came up to compete for the spiritual items.

Upon hearing the secret message from Song Qingming, Xia Mo, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the "Purple Cloud Demon Emperor," also understood her current predicament.

After putting the "golden ball of light" in her hand into the jade box, Xia Mo replied to Song Qingming, and then decisively flashed away from the battlefield, quickly heading straight for the nearest passage.

As soon as something happened here, the few cultivators who were still watching nearby saw this opportunity and immediately flashed after them.

As she got closer and closer to the passage ahead, Xia Mo suddenly sensed a dangerous aura coming from her side.

Seeing this, Xia Mo immediately changed her direction and flew directly into another passage not far away.

Not long after Xia Mo changed direction, several rather strange cyan steel needles attacked from not far from her side.

Unfortunately, the attack failed because Xia Mo had anticipated it. Instead, it sent a demon expert following behind her flying, startling the other pursuers nearby as well.

A moment later, a gray figure slowly emerged from the darkness not far from the passage. The person looked at Xia Mo, who had already disappeared, with a look of surprise on their face.

Seeing that many people had already flown into the passage to chase after Xia Mo, the gray figure did not choose to continue the pursuit, but instead turned its attention to another "golden ball of light" in the main hall.

Not long after Xia Mo left, another "golden ball of light" was quickly captured by a group of cultivators.

This person was another Nascent Soul Level 6 expert from the demon race, the "Flying Winged Demon Emperor".

This "Winged Demon Emperor" was also a master of escape techniques. Relying on a secret divine power, he was one step ahead of the others vying for the spiritual item and seized the "golden ball of light".

After seizing the treasure, the "Flying Winged Demon Emperor" dared not delay and quickly fled towards the outside of the distant main hall.

But what no one expected was that just as the "Flying Winged Demon Emperor" escaped to a place not far from an entrance, a gray-robed figure suddenly appeared in the void in front of him.

The opponent arrived far too quickly. Before the "Flying Winged Demon Emperor," who was rushing through the air, could react, he was kicked away by the gray-robed figure.

The next moment, the "golden ball of light" that had slipped from the "Winged Demon Emperor's" hand quickly fell into the opponent's grasp.

Before the others could catch up, the gray-robed figure disappeared into the passage ahead, leaving behind only a few demon experts who were still somewhat stunned.

"Those despicable human cultivators! We can't let them escape! Chase after them!"

Seeing that the "golden ball of light" he had just obtained was inexplicably snatched away by the gray-robed cultivator who suddenly appeared, the "Flying Winged Demon Emperor" shouted angrily and immediately led his men to chase after him.

Not far behind, Wang Yan and the others who were originally chasing the "Flying Winged Demon Emperor" also decisively followed after seeing this situation.

Two "golden orbs of light" have now appeared. According to past practice, the "Mysterious Spirit Pill" must be inside one of the orbs.

Wang Yan and his group, who had come specifically for this item, naturally wouldn't let go of this only chance to seize the spiritual treasure.

As the two "golden orbs of light" disappeared one after the other, more than half of the Nascent Soul cultivators vying for the spiritual items in the main hall also disappeared.

Originally, Song Qingming also wanted to chase after the other "golden ball of light," but the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" kept them occupied, forcing Song Qingming and the others to stay in the main hall.

Song Qingming could only helplessly watch the gray-robed cultivator and the others leave the main hall, unable to intervene at all.

“Fellow Daoist Lei Yan, the Profound Spirit Pill is no longer on my person. Why continue to entangle us like this? Why not stop here and search for other spiritual items?”

"You can give up if you want, but you have to return the Thunderstone to me first!"

Faced with Song Qingming's initiative to seek peace, the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" directly demanded the return of the "Thunder Accumulation Stone" that he had previously stolen.

Having finally managed to snatch something he liked from the other party, Song Qingming naturally wasn't going to give it back easily.

Just as he was about to shake his head and refuse, unexpectedly, the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Map" not far away suddenly lit up with a burst of spiritual light and sent out a "golden ball of light".

"What?! There's treasure here too!"

After the two "golden orbs of light" appeared earlier, no orbs of light flew out of the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Map" for a long time, which led many people to believe that all the treasures inside had already come out.

Seeing another "golden ball of light" fly out, the remaining cultivators in the hall who were vying for the last "five-colored ball of light" were also surprised.

Meanwhile, the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor," who was still locked in battle with Song Qingming, saw this scene and quickly abandoned his opponent, heading straight for the "golden ball of light" high in the distance.

Not only the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor," but other demon experts also quickly turned around upon seeing this scene. The two sides, who were just fighting, immediately abandoned their battle and began to fight for the treasure.

The person closest to the "golden ball of light" was a Nascent Soul cultivator from the demonic path. This person's cultivation was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, clearly a demonic cultivator who had recently formed his Nascent Soul.

The demon had just approached the "golden ball of light" and before he could even reach out and grab it, a streak of azure lightning had already caught up from not far behind him.

"Get out of my way!"

With a furious roar, the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" unleashed a massive fist wreathed in flames, instantly sending the Nascent Soul demon cultivator who was trying to snatch the "golden ball of light" flying.

The poor demonic cultivator, though lucky enough to be the first to discover the "golden ball of light," didn't even have a chance to touch it before being severely injured by the arriving "Thunderflame Demon Emperor."

The other Nascent Soul cultivators who had arrived nearby were also only at the early Nascent Soul stage.

Faced with the formidable "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor," the group members all showed a hint of fear and immediately retreated to the side, not daring to confront him head-on.

In a place like this, if you're not strong enough, even if you manage to get the treasure by chance, leaving the hall safely won't be an easy task.

Based on their strength, even if they joined forces, they would not be able to defeat a master like the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor." If they angered him, it would be a question whether they could leave alive.

Seeing the other party flee in disarray, the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" was very satisfied and immediately used his speed to catch up with the "golden ball of light" before everyone else.

Having had the chance to escape last time, the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" was noticeably more cautious this time when facing the "golden ball of light".

He first released a bolt of lightning that trapped the electric net inside, and then tried to approach it to capture it.

But just as the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" released lightning to trap the "golden ball of light," a large white hand suddenly appeared from not far away and attacked.

Even though the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" was prepared and released a lightning shield to block it, the giant white hand quickly passed through the lightning shield he released and then directly absorbed all the lightning he released.

Just as the "golden ball of light" was trapped by the lightning net, it saw a gap appear beside it and immediately broke free.

The next moment, a flash of light appeared, and a figure in a green robe suddenly appeared from the void, controlling a large white hand to grab the "golden ball of light" that had just escaped.

"Hehe! It's rare for Fellow Daoist Lei Yan to bestow treasures upon me twice today, so I, Song, will not stand on ceremony!"

Seeing that it was his old rival Song Qingming who had obtained the "golden ball of light," the "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" was already furious and threw a punch that was blazing with fire at his opponent.

Unfortunately, Song Qingming was prepared and immediately cast a spell to release the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to protect himself.

The "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor's" attack not only failed to harm Song Qingming in the slightest, but instead allowed him to use the force to widen the distance between himself and his opponent. He then turned around and, with the "golden ball of light," headed straight for a nearby exit.

"Stop him quickly!"

Upon seeing that Song Qingming was about to run away, "Thunder Flame Demon Emperor" hurriedly called on the other demon emperors to chase after him.

Unfortunately, they weren't close enough to Song Qingming, and even at full speed, they watched as he escaped into the passage first. (End of Chapter)
