Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 188 Scaring Qin Wuyan Away

The Death Swamp has a humid climate, and with its towering ancient trees, it is often shrouded in mist and miasma, and the sky is gloomy, making it difficult to see the sun.

Guided by Jin Ping'er, Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi walked for an unknown amount of time in the Death Swamp until it grew dark, at which point they realized they were almost there.

Suddenly, at that moment, Jin Ping'er stopped and gently tugged at Zhang Xiaofan's arm, leaning closer and pointing to the deeper part of the swamp.

"Master, look, isn't there a golden light shimmering over there?"

Zhang Xiaofan looked up and saw that the depths of the swamp were still dark. However, Zhang Xiaofan was not in a hurry. Instead, he stared intently at the increasingly dark depths of the swamp.

Lu Xueqi, who was standing to the side, did not speak, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Jin Ping'er's jade hand that was not loosened, and then she also looked into the depths of the swamp.

A short while later, a golden light suddenly flashed from the depths of the swamp, causing Zhang Xiaofan's eyes to narrow slightly.

The previous anomaly was a golden pillar of light shooting into the sky. Now, golden light is shimmering deep within the swamp, clearly a sign that the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury is about to open.

“‘When the golden light appears, the yellow bird will surely appear.’ It seems that the Heavenly Emperor’s treasure vault is about to be opened.”

Zhang Xiaofan murmured softly, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

Zhang Xiaofan had a feeling that the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury might be related to the high and mighty Heavenly Emperor he once knew.

Just as Zhang Xiaofan was lost in thought, Lu Xueqi's clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.

“The disciples of the Hehuan Sect are indeed different from ordinary women.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Ping'er turned her head to look, and then, following Lu Xueqi's gaze, she saw it fall on her own palm. She smiled gently and said in a low voice.

"Fairy Lu misunderstands. It's just that it's a real person's hand, and it makes me feel so safe. I'm a little reluctant to part with it."

Lu Xueqi snorted softly. After Jin Ping'er let go of her hand, she didn't say anything. She just silently walked to the other side of Jin Ping'er and, together with Zhang Xiaofan, sandwiched Jin Ping'er between them.

Upon seeing this, Jin Ping'er's expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Zhang Xiaofan suddenly look up and gaze into the distance.

Before Jin Ping'er and Lu Xueqi could ask anything, the two women noticed that there were magical fluctuations coming from afar, and faintly, there seemed to be roars mixed in.

"It's a Buddhist mental cultivation method, let's go take a look!"

Zhang Xiaofan was extremely familiar with the martial arts techniques of Tianyin Temple. Although he was not a disciple of Tianyin Temple, he was the grand-nephew of Master Puhong. Before leaving Qingyun Sect, Master Puhong stayed in Qingyun for several days to recuperate and passed on all the true Buddhist mental techniques.

Before Jin Ping'er could react, Zhang Xiaofan grabbed her supple shoulder and flew away into the distance.

Seeing this, Lu Xueqi couldn't help but smile. She also made a hand seal and followed.

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi realized that there were quite a few people fighting on both sides. One side consisted of two monks, one tall and the other humble, dressed in moon-white robes. They were none other than the two brothers, Faxiang and Fashan, from Tianyin Temple.

However, the group that fought against Faxiang and Fashan was a dozen or so people. The leader of them was Qin Wuyan, whom Zhang Xiaofan had met in Dawang Village before. The other disciples, judging from their appearance, were clearly disciples of the Wan Du Sect.

At this moment, facing the siege of Qin Wuyan and his group of Wan Du Sect disciples, Fa Xiang and Fa Shan were finding it somewhat difficult to cope. Fa Shan roared repeatedly, wielding his Vajra Subduing Demon Staff, but could only barely manage to fend off the Wan Du Sect's attacks. Two streaks of light transformed into three figures and appeared to the side, naturally alerting Fa Xiang, Qin Wuyan, and the others who were engaged in combat.

Upon closer inspection, seeing Zhang Xiaofan arrive, Faxiang's face showed a hint of relief, while Qin Wuyan's expression changed, and he quickly abandoned his attack and retreated.

As Qin Wuyan retreated, the pressure on the Dharma Image was greatly reduced. At this moment, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect also retreated. In the blink of an eye, both sides stopped fighting.

Seeing the Wan Du Men disciples retreat, Fa Xiang did not retaliate, but instead protected Fa Shan and landed beside Zhang Xiaofan and the others.

At this moment, Lu Xueqi noticed that the tall Fa Shan had poisonous blood gushing out from his arm, clearly indicating that he had been accidentally poisoned during their previous fight.

"Thank you, Masato!"

Fa Xiang thanked him softly, and Zhang Xiaofan nodded slightly without saying anything. He simply reached out and touched Fa Shan's arm, temporarily sealing off the poison.

Speaking of poison techniques in the world today, besides the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, the Qingyun Sect is also unique.

In the past, the Poison God was killed on Tongtian Peak, and the Myriad Poisons Returning to the Source Bag also fell into the hands of Qingyun Sect. Now, almost every Qingyun disciple knows a little about poisoning and antidote, not to mention Zhang Xiaofan who obtained the Myriad Poisons Returning to the Source Bag.

Qin Wuyan's pupils suddenly contracted, a wave of fear washing over him. He then looked at Jin Ping'er again.

Meeting Qin Wuyan's gaze, Jin Ping'er immediately sent out a distress signal to Qin Wuyan. However, Qin Wuyan seemed not to notice and simply led the group of Wan Du Sect disciples to slowly retreat.

"Master Zhang is truly amazing, Qin Wuyan admires him. However, I have important matters to attend to today, I will seek your guidance another day!"

Qin Wuyan longed for the Myriad Poisons Returning to One Bag day and night. If he had that bag, how could he, the dignified leader of the Myriad Poisons Sect, be reduced to the same status as Jin Ping'er, a mere successor of the sect?
After saying that, Qin Wuyan ignored Jin Ping'er's pleas for help. Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan had no intention of taking action for the time being in order to suppress Jin Ping'er, he quickly led the Wan Du Sect disciples away.

Seeing that Qin Wuyan showed no mercy, Jin Ping'er couldn't help but curl her lips. The people of the Demonic Sect were indeed unreliable. It was better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

After Qin Wuyan and the others left, Faxiang turned to Zhang Xiaofan and said apologetically.

“Amitabha Buddha, Master, I’m afraid our Tianyin Temple will be unable to help you on this journey.”

With the poison of Fashan entering his body, it is naturally not advisable to stay in this deadly swamp any longer. He must return to Dawang Village first and expel the poison from his body as soon as possible.

Zhang Xiaofan nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"It's alright. After you return, please inform Venerable Puhong that there are foreign tribes from the Southern Frontier making moves in the Death Swamp, and that Burning Incense Valley harbors ill intentions!"

Fa Xiang's expression changed, but he didn't ask any further questions, because Zhang Xiaofan's words were irrefutable proof!
Today's cultivators all know that Master Zhang of Qingyun Sect would never slander others; this is his reputation, and it is also the path he cultivates.

"Rest assured, Master, I will definitely bring the Dharma image!"

Faxiang's tone became serious, because these words were a huge shock to the righteous path today.

The Incense Valley, once one of the three major righteous sects, was renowned throughout the world for guarding against alien races. However, it secretly colluded with alien races, which would definitely make all the people of the world doubt the righteous path.
