Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 796 Sikong Yuanlie
Not long after Ning Fa left through the south gate of Qiyuan City, a man and a woman were walking briskly on another street more than ten miles away.

The young woman was dressed in black hunting attire; she was tall and slender with striking beauty.

The young man was dressed in black armor, and his spiritual pressure was not visible at all, but he had an immense aura in every move he made.

It was Sikong Jing and the fourth elder of the Sikong family.

Sikong Jing was leading the way, holding a peculiar crescent-shaped jade plate in her hand, from which a faint white spiritual light flickered.

Immediately, this spark of inspiration became almost imperceptible.

Sikong Jing stopped abruptly, her eyebrows furrowed and her teeth clenched as she said:

"We can't detect that kid's trail again! Although we're certain he's within a thousand miles, that's a huge area."

The black-armored youth behind her also frowned, sensing a hint of unease.

He slowly said, "The special restriction on the Taiyin Slaughtering God Banner can penetrate deep into a cultivator's soul if one is hit."

Without our clan's special secret techniques, even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would not be able to break through or even suppress it.

That kid is just a mere Core Formation cultivator, how could he possibly do that?

He seemed to be asking Sikong Jing, or perhaps talking to himself, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

This special restriction is called the Dark Moon Binding God Restriction.

The reason why the Sikong family placed such a special restriction on the Taiyin Slaughtering God Banner, such a precious treasure, is that...

This is because, in the history of the Sikong family, there was a precedent where the family's most prized treasures were seized by enemies, which instead caused great casualties to the Sikong family's cultivators.

Later, the Sikong family learned from their mistakes and established a rule that all high-level magical artifacts in the family should be imprinted with this special Dark Moon Binding Divine Restriction.

This way, if an important member of the family dies and the treasure is taken by an enemy, they can still use this to find the other party.

However, he did not know that the one who used the Taiyin God-Slaying Banner was Hei Yu, who was not a human being at all.

Therefore, this special restriction naturally did not have much effect on him.

"What a troublesome kid!" Sikong Jing exclaimed.

Then she hesitated and said, "Fourth Elder, we are not too far from that kid now. If we frequently activate the Moon Seeker, it is possible that the kid will notice us."

If this kid really is from the Fuling Hall, then with the Fuling Hall's methods, it's not impossible for them to suppress this restriction.

The young man in black armor narrowed his eyes slightly and then said, "Xiao Jing, you don't need to worry too much."

If all else fails, I will resort to the Heavenly Wolf Searching Technique.

"I don't believe that with my cultivation level, I can't find this kid even if I use this secret technique."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing was greatly surprised and hurriedly said, "Fourth Elder, you should think twice."

Using the Heavenly Wolf Seeking a Thousand Technique once comes at a high price; it might even hinder your attempt to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

The young man in black armor smiled helplessly: "How could I not know the consequences? So this is the last resort."

But if there's really no other way, I'll have to resort to it.

After all, that Moonlit Divine Diagram was worth my effort.

Sikong Jing frowned deeply, her hatred for the cunning Ning Fa growing even stronger.

Just then, the black-armored youth suddenly changed his expression and a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Alright, the local bully is here."

With his help, we should be able to reap unexpected rewards. Let's go.

As he spoke, he placed his hand on Sikong Jing's shoulder, and in a flash, the two of them disappeared from the spot.

The passing cultivators were immediately shocked and, after exchanging bewildered glances, quickly left the area.

Not long after, in a palace in the inner city of Qiyuan, Sikong Jing, the black-armored youth, and another person met.

This was a man in his forties dressed in a deep blue robe. He was tall and slender with a fair complexion and a faint smile on his lips, exuding an air of refinement.

Between the opening and closing of his eyes, there were wisps of lightning dancing, revealing him to be a powerful cultivator with a lightning spiritual root, who had already reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

On the right breast of his robe was a blue Thunder Mountain pattern, which was the mark representing Thunder Prison Mountain, one of the nine major sects of the Heavenly Pivot Alliance.

Furthermore, above this Thunder Mountain, there is a special mark shaped like a golden thunder sword.

This also means that this person is a Nascent Soul Elder from Thunder Sword Peak, a powerful faction within Thunder Prison Mountain.

If there were any high-level cultivators from Qiyuan Island here, they would surely recognize this person as Mingxiao Zhenjun, the famous Nascent Soul Elder of Leiyu Mountain.

Among the dozen or so Nascent Soul elders of Leiyu Mountain, this person's ranking is high enough to be among the top five.

Several years ago, he officially took over as the leader of Lei Jianfeng of Leiyu Mountain, and he was extremely popular within the vast Leiyu Mountain.

The current leader of the Raging Waves Sect, True Lord Jin Hai, is actually his uncle, and the actual controller of the Raging Waves Sect is also his relative.

This was all driven by the powerful Mingxiao Zhenjun behind the scenes.

Even a hundred years ago, he personally defeated the previous leader of the Raging Waves Sect within a hundred moves on Qiyuan Island, and single-handedly helped his own uncle take over, which is why he became famous throughout Qiyuan Island.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Lie, I never expected you to grace our humble Qiyuan Island with your presence. It truly brings honor to our place."

Mingxiao Zhenjun spoke with a smile on his face, his attitude very polite.

Because the black-armored youth's status was no less than his, and perhaps even stronger.

This black-armored youth is named Sikong Yuanlie, a genius who was famous in the Yuan Shou Ancestral Court and even the entire Nine Dragons Sea a long time ago.

He formed his Nascent Soul at the age of two hundred, and then advanced to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in less than a hundred years.

Moreover, he is not only a cultivation prodigy, but also possesses extraordinary strength.

In just over a hundred years, he has killed more than five Nascent Soul cultivators and transformed demonic beasts. Fifty years ago, he personally killed the infamous evil cultivator Netherfire Old Demon of the Demon Sea Alliance, which greatly enhanced his reputation.

Previously, the Star Luo Palace had issued a prophecy that identified ten human cultivators in the Nine Dragons Sea who were most likely to advance to the later stage.

The third person on the list is Sikong Yuanlie.

He is also considered a strong contender for the next Grand Elder of the Sikong family.

He is now ranked fourth among the many elders of the Sikong family.

The Sikong family's overall strength may even be a notch higher than Lei Yushan's.

There are two late-stage Grand Cultivators, and a late-stage Transformation Guardian Spirit Beast comparable to a Grand Cultivator.

Among the six core families of the Yuan Shou Ancestral Court, their overall strength ranks third and is expected to be second.

Therefore, in terms of both strength and status, Sikong Yuanlie is superior to him, especially since this person had previously done him a great favor.

Mingxiao Zhenjun laughed again: "If it weren't for your help thirty years ago, I wouldn't have been able to obtain that Haolei Flower on Mount Frey."

I will always remember this great kindness.

At the same time, he also had a guess in his mind that this person had come to ask him to repay this favor.

“Fellow Daoist Mingxiao, I have come here without a reason. I need your help.”

Sikong Yuanlie got straight to the point.

"Fellow Daoist, please speak freely," True Monarch Mingxiao said with a faint smile, though inwardly he thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

Sikong Yuanlie pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I am currently pursuing a Core Formation cultivator."

This person stole an important treasure from my clan.

This young man is exceptionally skilled. Although I have a general idea of ​​his location, I cannot pinpoint his exact location, so I would like to ask for your help.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Mingxiao couldn't help but look surprised.

He must have heard correctly. A mere Core Formation cultivator couldn't even capture Sikong Yuanlie and had to ask him for help.

"Although that kid is only at the late stage of Core Formation, his supernatural abilities are so strong that even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have a hard time dealing with him easily."

"Right now, I can only roughly determine that he is somewhere near Qiyuan Island, but I can't pinpoint his exact location, which is why I wanted to ask Fellow Daoist Mingxiao for help."

Sikong Yuanlie smiled faintly and said.

Mingxiao Zhenjun seemed to understand for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's easy."

Fellow Daoist Sikong, please provide me with a portrait of this young man.

I will have all the city gates of Qiyuan Immortal City keep watch, and I can even get some of the large shops in the city to help.

If this kid were in the city, he'd probably be discovered very quickly.

Sikong Yuanlie slowly shook his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said, "This method probably won't work."

Because that kid has quite a few tricks up his sleeve, he might have some advanced disguise techniques.

Moreover, this move could easily alert the enemy, and if he escapes, all our previous efforts might be in vain.

Therefore, I have come here today hoping that Fellow Daoist Mingxiao will seek help from the Hidden Star Pavilion.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Mingxiao's expression suddenly changed, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Sikong Yuanlie, however, seemed oblivious and continued to laugh, "I've heard that in every Hidden Star Pavilion, there is a projection of the famous Heavenly Star Pearl from the Star Luo Palace."

Furthermore, it can communicate with the Heavenly Star Pearl itself to perform divination techniques.

It seems that this astrological divination technique is enough to pinpoint the boy's exact location.

However, it seems the Hidden Star Pavilion only allows this kind of supernatural power to be used by sects within the Heavenly Pivot Alliance, which is why I shamelessly asked for it this time.

Mingxiao Zhenjun's expression shifted, and then he said with a wry smile, "Fellow Daoist Sikong's information network is truly impressive."

You're right, we at Leiyu Mountain can indeed find the Hidden Star Pavilion and have them perform a divination technique for us.

However, the Hidden Star Pavilion will only allow us to use it for free once every seven years.

Otherwise, even if we at Leiyushan wanted to ask them for help, we would have to pay an extremely high price.

Therefore, this free opportunity only comes once every seven years, making it extremely precious.

Although Wen holds some position within the sect, he doesn't yet possess such direct authority.

Sikong Yuanlie's expression remained unchanged as he smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist Mingxiao, if you can help me with this, the favor you owe me before will be settled."

In addition, to give you an explanation, I can offer your sect a spot to enter our Sikong family's Ancient Wolf Blood Pool.

Fellow Daoist Mingxiao, what are your thoughts?

Upon hearing this, True Lord Mingxiao's expression shifted, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Not long after, he solemnly said, "I need to discuss this matter with the Grand Elder. Fellow Daoist Sikong, please wait here for a moment."

With that, he hurriedly left the hall.

Not long after, True Lord Mingxiao returned.

At this moment, he smiled broadly and said, "Fellow Daoist Sikong, the Grand Elder has agreed. Come, I will take you to the Hidden Star Pavilion now."

Sikong Yuanlie's eyes lit up immediately, and Sikong Jing beside him was also full of excitement.
