Immortal Road.

Outside Luoxia Mountain, the sun is setting and the sky is filled with rosy clouds.

The sky, clouds, mountains, and land all turned a bright red, and the two people flew above them in a striking blue and gray rainbow light, with the two elders chasing closely behind them.

Xing Shuzi kept complaining:
"Damn it! I went through so much trouble to collect all the necessary materials for the domain, and before I could even recover, I was kicked out. Someone from inside the guild must have leaked the information!"

The Annihilation Avatar calmed down and pondered deeply as it fled.

"Nonsense, those two old monsters aren't stupid. They'll definitely guess that we'll take advantage of the trade fair to restore our domain, so striking first is a given. But they just happen to lack a legitimate reason. Getting caught reselling evil pills is like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy!"

"Do you think I want to? Besides Chaolingshe Pill, where else can I get seventh-grade spirit pills to sell?"

"Stop talking nonsense, what do we do now!"

"Let's run first. Let him chase us if he wants. We'll leave the South China Sea and escape to the inland of the Cloud Wind Immortal Realm. Once we're far from their connections and unfamiliar with the area, we can figure out a way to shake them off."

"it is good!"

This is a last resort; they definitely can't win a head-on confrontation, so we can only try to avoid their sharp edge for now.

But to everyone's surprise, Elder Huang and Elder Chuyun behind them were not in a hurry at all. After leaving Luoxia Mountain, they took out a palm-sized flying boat and threw it on their heads!
The flying boat fluttered in the wind and instantly grew larger. The strange beast at the bow roared to the sky, while countless rows of black birds flapped their wings and soared high on both sides!

"The Xuanwu Spirit Boat?"

The annihilation clone suddenly turned around and glanced back, its mind going blank for a moment.

How did the Xuan Tian Ling Bao that I sold at the auction end up in the other party's hands?

Elder Huang praised it highly.

"Brother Chuyun has quite the influence, actually managing to borrow such a treasure. It seems those two have no chance of escaping, and we can finally get rid of this major threat."

"Hehe, Elder Qi of the Imperial Household Department is my colleague of many years. He bought this item at the auction and is very fond of it. If I hadn't promised to stand firm in the elders' vote in the future, how could I have borrowed it so easily?"

Elder Chuyun boarded the Xuanwu Spirit Ship with a sigh, without going into detail about his deal with the ship's owner, since he was well-prepared this time.

Those two really thought the trade fair was a buffer period where they could catch their breath, but they were sorely mistaken!

He was planning to use this opportunity to lure his opponents out so that he could wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

"Brother Dao's insight is profound; I admire it."

Elder Huang stood at the bow of the boat, completely convinced of Elder Chuyun's wisdom. He thought to himself that he had found the right person. Compared to those scoundrels, the elder from the Immortal City was much more shrewd and calculating.

Looking at the two people in front of him, he finally revealed a long-lost sinister smile.

"Run? Where do you think you're going? This day next year will be the anniversary of your deaths!"

Upon seeing this, Xing Shuzi was so frightened that his soul almost left his body!
"It's over, it's over! A Xuan Tian flying spirit treasure, who among the same level can escape being hunted down? Quick, let's turn back to Qiyun Ridge and meet up with Fellow Daoist Xiong Shan. There's still a glimmer of hope."

"I've already contacted him!"

The clone of Nirvana looked grim. In fact, it had notified the main body the moment its identity was exposed, and could only hope that the other party would arrive quickly.

Lin Shan walked out of the appraisal center.

The apprentices nearby stopped and bowed, waiting with reverence for the supreme master to pass by.

He received a message from the Annihilation Avatar and had to end his seclusion early.

He had never expected Elder Huang and Elder Chuyun to make their move at this critical juncture, which instantly disrupted his entire plan.

Fortunately, although the Dharma Form, Domain, Star Aperture, and Body Tempering had not been completed, the natal star of the Calamity Star had just been repaired and was already ready to be deployed in battle.

Instead of rushing to the rescue, they went to the second floor of Yibaolou first.

"Fellow Daoist Xiongshan? What brings you here?"

Lie Yunsheng slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes. He must have been stealing a moment from his busy schedule to cultivate his inner power. It was clear that this young master, who usually talked about lying down, was still secretly working hard when no one was watching.

Lin Shan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"I'd like to borrow two Grade 7 spirit crystals. I'm going out for a while, and I'll pay you back in a couple of days."

"Are you in a hurry to leave?"

"Fortunately."

Lie Yunsheng looked closely into his eyes, then nodded. Without asking any further questions, he simply tossed over five heavy seventh-grade spirit stones.

"Fellow Daoist Xiong Shan, please be careful when you go out."

Thank you!

Lin Shan didn't stand on ceremony. After accepting the spirit stones, he turned around, went downstairs, and quickly left Market No. 6.

Lie Yunsheng behind him seemed unconcerned, simply closing his eyes again to begin refining his mind.

Dark clouds are covering the sky above Qiyun Ridge at this moment.

A deep atmosphere was brewing in the air, indicating that the mountain-protecting formation was ready to be activated, a situation where a single move could affect the entire formation.

Lin Shan looked up expressionlessly and understood why the Annihilation Avatar hadn't abandoned Xing Shuzi and hidden in the alley.

Elder Chuyun is determined to turn against us, and has even used the mountain-protecting formation. Staying here is just waiting to die, so we might as well go out and fight.

But with just the two of them, Elder Huang alone would not be a match, let alone with Elder Chuyun, a master at the mid-stage of the Void Realm, backing them up!

Even he himself was unsure; if the situation turned unfavorable, he might have no choice but to sacrifice the pawn to save the king and make a decision based on the circumstances.

Once outside the mountain gate, they used their senses to track the path.

To his surprise, the Annihilation Avatar and Star Pivot Child, which he sensed were moving towards him, suddenly stopped for some reason.

Could he have already been arrested?
Suddenly, he sensed traces of other presences ahead. Without thinking too much, he quickly used his Wind Release technique to travel on his way.

Finally, after traveling thousands of miles, they discovered the great battle hidden deep in the mountains and valleys!

The entire world was enveloped in red and yellow, with clouds swirling around, their red glow spreading in the setting sun, like a blazing inferno.

He looked around amidst the billowing smoke.

The Annihilation Avatar and the Star Pivot Child are currently trapped in the Yellow Sand Domain. The two three-zhang-sized gray-blue light orbs have merged into one and are struggling to resist the encroachment of the opponent's domain.

These two actually fell into each other's territory?

Lin Shan's heart sank to the bottom, suddenly feeling an extremely difficult situation.

If they fight back from the outside, I can rush over to save them, but if they fall into someone else's territory, there's no way to escape.

That makes sense, just by looking at them, you can tell that neither the Strange Domain nor the Star Domain is in its nascent stage or broken; they are simply no match for Elder Huang's fully formed domain. It's only natural that they are surrounded. "Brother Chuyun, stop looking! Let's join forces and take them down before Zhong Shenxiu shows himself. Then we'll leave that kid all alone!"

"Hehe, I understand. Fellow Daoist Huang is still so impatient."

Elder Chuyun had been observing from the sidelines. Seeing that the duel was no longer in doubt, he felt there was no need to guard against external attacks; he should focus on securing the victory first.

Seeing this, Lin Shan tried to stop it, but before he could move, a black light suddenly flashed from the other side!
Before anyone on the field could react, a massive black domain suddenly appeared around the newcomer, hurtling towards Elder Chuyun with the force of a meteor!
"who?"

Elder Chuyun was also caught off guard by this sudden change. In his panic, he opened his lava domain, and in an instant, red and black filled half the sky. The violent collision stirred up a hurricane, blowing Elder Huang and the other two directly to the other side.

Even the clouds above their feet were pierced, and the vacuum of clouds for dozens of miles dispersed, revealing the vast land below.

After a brief exchange, the other person revealed their true identity, which surprised everyone—it was...
Lord Ji Xuan!
Lin Shan, who was hiding in the shadows, was taken aback. Why would this person suddenly get involved in the war?
Elder Izumo was caught off guard and was momentarily dazed, but he quickly recovered.

"Lord Jixuan! I let you off the hook last time, and after returning to the market, I couldn't be bothered with you. Not only did you not behave yourself, but you also dared to come out and fight back. Are you tired of living?"

“Fellow Daoist Chuyun, show mercy when you can. Your target is Daoist Jiemie, and has nothing to do with Brother Xingchuzi. Why must you be so ruthless?”

Ji Xuanjun carried wind and thunder, his annihilation domain appearing both real and illusory. This was a dignified and powerful domain, and his strength was not to be underestimated. He also spoke with great arrogance.

However, compared to Elder Izumo, the difference is still visible to the naked eye.

After all, each realm between the Void Transformation stage is like an insurmountable chasm. The gap in magical power between the early and middle stages is like a chasm. Even if everyone has mastered their domains, strength is still an important factor.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to die, get out of here. Otherwise, you'll be reduced to ashes!"

Seeing that the other party was determined to stop him, Elder Chuyun no longer held back and immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the newcomer.

This beating had a significant impact; Lin Shan, watching from outside, gasped for breath and his eyes widened in shock!
Compared to Elder Huang, Elder Chuyun is far superior!
Ji Xuanjun also possessed a highly accomplished domain, but under the powerful support of the opponent's illusory energy, he was utterly crushed and constantly enveloped and eroded, even showing signs of being surrounded.

However, Ji Xuanjun was no ordinary person. He could maintain his fighting strength even when facing a stronger opponent whose realm was higher than his own. His vast Extinction Domain supported a space of dozens of miles, constantly resisting amidst the cycle of birth and death. He could not be defeated for a while.

"If you let me and Xing Shuzi go today, I'll leave the Daoist of Nirvana to you, and we'll never be enemies again. I mean what I say!"

Hahaha~~~

Elder Chuyun's eyes were sharp. As expected of someone in the mid-stage of the Void Realm, his strength was boundless. His body was engulfed in raging flames, and the surrounding lava surged and churned, constantly compressing the space of the Annihilation Domain.

Anyone with eyes can see who is stronger and who is weaker.

"Lord Jixuan, what kind of bewitching potion did Xing Shuzi give you that you dared to defy me and even risk your life?"

"I"

"If I'm not mistaken, you didn't take the Chaolingshe Pill and become that old man's possessed servant?"

"!!!"

These words not only caused Ji Xuanjun's expression to change drastically, but also startled Xing Shuzi, who was struggling in the distance. No one expected that Elder Chuyun would reveal the secret of heaven with a single sentence.

Elder Huang looked disdainful. Dozens of earth dragons rolled around him, and he was covered in armor. He let the arrows from the Nirvana Profound Embryo Bow fly wildly, but they were all blocked by a huge golden creature in front of him.

It was none other than the Yellow Turban Warrior!

"So that's how it is. Fellow Daoist Xing Shuzi is truly a hidden master. There really was an unlucky soul who fell under your spell, taking the Chaoling She Pill and having his life and death controlled?"

The annihilation clone sensed the presence of the main body nearby and breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, it did not expose itself and instead turned around incredulously to question the clone.

"What's going on, bro?"

Xing Shuzi smiled wryly and didn't explain. Instead, he urged him to contact Xiong Shan Shangren again and ask where the other party was.

"Ji Xuanjun alone can't hold off the old ghost Chu Yun for long. We need to quickly ask Fellow Daoist Xiong Shan to come. Oh, by the way, where are your Yellow Turban Warriors? Bring them out too!"

The annihilation clone, having drawn his bow and nocked an arrow, couldn't help but curse upon hearing this.

"To clean up your mess, I don't even have a single seventh-tier spirit crystal on me right now. How am I supposed to activate the puppet? What good is buying a Yellow Turban Warrior?"

The enemy unleashed a massive sandstorm, with two towering sand avatars wielding their supernatural powers, accompanied by a large amount of black, highly poisonous mist that stank and made people nauseous.

Xing Shuzi and he joined forces to erect a light screen, holding white powder in their hands, which they blew into the star magic to form a barrier. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but feel wronged.

"Isn't this money used to buy the antidote? Otherwise, what would you use to block that Nine Yuan Soul-Destroying Powder?"

"Where's your poison? Use it!"

The Annihilation Avatar was furious upon seeing this. What was the point of buying a bunch of useless consumables to cancel each other out?

Unable to provoke him further, Xing Shuzi could only resort to poison to put pressure on the other party. Elder Huang calmly produced the antidote, and neither could gain the upper hand.

This is purely a resource exchange, and the poorer party will always be the one who suffers.

They had been fighting for a quarter of an hour without realizing it. The battle between their domains was extremely dangerous. They were vying for control of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and squeezing out their opponent's living space. As long as they gained the upper hand, they could gradually erode the opponent's strength. The situation became clearer and clearer as the battle progressed.

On the other side, Ji Xuanjun was also gradually losing ground in the hands of Elder Chuyun and was about to be completely surrounded. Lin Shan, who was hiding in the shadows, knew that he could not wait any longer. Even if Ji Xuanjun was not on good terms with him, he had to be saved, otherwise he alone would not be a match for Elder Chuyun.

But just as he was about to make a move, another rainbow light suddenly shot out from behind!

Before anyone on the field could even see clearly, Elder Chuyun's lava domain was fiercely repelled, allowing Jixuanjun to escape from the clutches of evil.

The newcomer had an old face and a head of white hair. His white robe billowed, and a white domain behind him carried the power of thousands of mountains. He forcefully squeezed into the battlefield and joined forces with Ji Xuanjun to form a three-way standoff!
"The Old Taoist of Huangyue?"

Elder Huang looked over from afar and exclaimed in disbelief and astonishment.

"Weren't you beaten to a pulp and forced to flee? How did you recover so quickly?"

The newcomer had a vicious look on his face, his lips were purple and his eyes were violent. He spoke through gritted teeth, expressing a deep and irreconcilable hatred.

"You two bastards, you will surely perish for your evil deeds. I, an old Taoist priest, have not yet avenged my great grudge, how could I easily escape from Nankaido?"

"Hahahaha~~~"

Elder Izumo burst into laughter, looking pleased with himself.

"If I'm not mistaken, your hair and beard are all white, and you've overdrawn your lifespan to borrow power. This is a sign that your potential has been completely exhausted."

"Great! I was worried you wouldn't come back. Now you've obediently come to your deaths, saving me the trouble of searching for you all. Let's send you all on your way!"

"A bunch of misfits, some with nascent domains, some with shattered domains, some zombies controlled by pills, and some dead ghosts whose potential has been exhausted—how can they fight me?"

As he spoke, his eyes flashed like lightning, his silver hair danced in the wind, and he looked around and shouted a question.

"Zhong Shenxiu, I know you're hiding nearby. Come out!"

"This is the only chance you guys have to put up a fight head-on. Are you going to just stand by and watch these allies get trampled under my feet before you're satisfied?"

"Or perhaps you want the two sides to fight, while the third party reaps the benefits?" (End of Chapter)
