Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 426 True Luck and the Burial Autumn Team

Left Wing of the Sparrow Temple

Luanxuan's warning to Wujiu did not escape Li Wushou's notice.

Seeing Wujiu back down, Li Wushou felt somewhat disappointed.

He had just openly followed Sha Xiu out, and even secretly activated Zang Qiu's aura, all so that Wu Jiu would leave Jiangbei Pass to cause him trouble, thus allowing him to take control of Wu Jiu.

It seems that Wu Jiu is very wary of Luan Xuan!
However, his attempts to subtly manipulate Wu Jiu and Luan Xuan's emotions have already shown initial success. It won't be long before the conflict between the two erupts completely, so there's no need to rush.

Moreover, this trip was not a fruitless one.

With Sha Xiu and Ma Feng, both at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, plus three Nascent Soul cultivators, it's quite a good harvest.

The clouds parted and closed, and golden light paved the way.

The group of six escaped from the northern border and traveled to the outside of the high mountain barrier. Sha Xiu and Ma Feng stopped in mid-air.

The three True Lords, Zang Qiu, Shui Ya, Bian Chun, and Cui Song, in which Li Wushou resided, arrived closely behind and stopped.

Seeing that the four True Lords had followed, Sha Xiu and Ma Feng did not linger. Time was short and the task was heavy, so they directly bowed and said goodbye.

Ma Feng, along with True Lords Bian Chun and Cui Song, charged towards the north of the Yuhe River, while Sha Xiu, with Zang Qiu and Shui Ya, charged towards the northwest corner of the Yanyang Mountains.

Liuyun City

The first city encountered by the Shaxiu team on the northwest route.

Including its subordinate villages and two surrounding towns, the area covers dozens of miles and has a large population.

Sha Xiu stood atop Liuyun City with Zang Qiu and Shui Ya.

As Shuiya took a step forward, a phantom water curtain palace appeared above his head. A huge, azure whale leaped out of the water curtain, swallowing the power of heaven and earth with its mouth, and a large amount of cloud and water energy gathered above Liuyun City.

The sky darkened instantly.

As planned, Zang Qiu stood beside Sha Xiu, acting as his bodyguard.

Upon seeing this, Sha Xiu's mind stirred, and a handful of yellow sand was born from nothingness, hovering above his head, transforming into a sand-transformed Dharma realm.

Upon seeing this, Li Wushou thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

This Sha Xiu is indeed practicing the methods of immortality, not the methods of sealing spirits.

No wonder I always felt that the other person lacked the madness that Ma Feng had.

It wasn't in vain that I worked so hard to guide Luanxuan's emotions and put myself and Shaxiu in the same group.

As Li Wushou pondered, the Sand Cultivation Dharma Realm trembled slightly, and rolling yellow sand churned within it.

A golden light flashed between Sha Xiu's brows, and his primordial spirit fell into the Dharma Realm, merging with the endless yellow sand.

In an instant, a primordial spirit Dharma image was formed. The Dharma image lightly lifted its feet and walked out of the Dharma realm, stretching across the heaven and earth.

Such a commotion, concealed by the misty clouds surrounding the cliffs, did not attract the attention of any party in Flowing Cloud City.

Huang Shafaxiang looked down over the territory of Liuyun City, and a golden sparrow magic ball appeared in his palm.

Once it is carried to the Dharma Image, the Dharma Image will carry it along with the clouds, water, and yellow sand into the Flowing Cloud City.

Just then, the water cliff that had been activating the Blue Whale Spirit suddenly spoke up and asked:
"Captain, is this Primordial Spirit Sparrow really that amazing? Can I take a look?"

Sha Xiu was taken aback. To be honest, he was quite curious about this primordial spirit sparrow, but he was also more wary of it.

Despite Luan Xuan's repeated assurances that the primordial spirit sparrow was safe due to the golden magic orb, Sha Xiu was still uneasy about something even his own primordial spirit couldn't detect.

Even now, though it seems as if his Dharma form is holding it in the palm of his hand, he has mobilized a large amount of boundary power to isolate the Dharma sphere from his palm.

However, seeing that Shuiya was practicing the method of sealing spirits, he knew the appeal of the direct lineage of the Sparrow Lord to them.

After thinking for a moment, he still handed the magic ball to the water cliff.

"Hurry up, you only have ten breaths!"

Before Sha Xiu could finish speaking, Shui Ya, who had been looking expectant, suddenly became serious.

The blue whale spirit, whose head was half-exposed above the Water Curtain Divine Palace, suddenly leaped high into the air and, to Sha Xiu's astonishment, swallowed the golden magic orb whole.

Sha Xiu was taken aback. The yellow sand avatar reached down and was about to grab the water cliff in its hand.

But then the blue whale spirit that had swallowed the magic orb swung its giant tail and slammed it into the giant palm of the Sha Xiu Dharma Image.

The whale flicked its tail, gathering its strength for a long time.

He had known Shuiya for many years and knew him very well; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen her this time.

Therefore, even though Sha Xiu instinctively retaliated, he still couldn't understand why Shui Ya was acting this way. Seeing that Shui Ya was about to resist, Sha Xiu coldly snorted:

"Unbelievable!"

The vast amount of boundary power that had been filling his palm poured down, but to his astonishment, a similarly powerful boundary power erupted from the blue whale's giant tail.

Upon closer inspection, it was a treasure trove shaped like a lotus seed!
There's something like this on this water cliff?
With a muffled bang, the power in the palm shattered, and the giant tail of the Blue Whale Spirit slammed into the palm of the Yellow Sand Dharma Image.

Even with the blessing of the World Treasure, Shuiya's attempt to shake Sha Xiu's Dharma Form was nothing but wishful thinking. Even with all his might, he could only knock the palm of Huangsha Dharma Form back a few feet.

Shashu, however, was truly enraged!
His brow furrowed, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

Just as he was about to manipulate the Dharma form, he slammed his palm down. If he had been thinking about their past acquaintance just moments before, he no longer cared at all.

But at that moment, the Dharma Image suddenly froze. Sha Xiu looked down and saw that the palm that had collided with the Blue Whale Spirit had somehow become covered with a human skin talisman.

Numerous inscriptions were frantically drilling into his Dharma form, while his Dharma form's palm was rapidly slipping out of his control.

Sha Xiu was shocked, his face filled with horror, and he cried out in disbelief:

"What the hell is this?"

With his primordial spirit power erupting, Sha Xiu attempted to force the inscription out of his body. The two were locked in a stalemate for a moment. Sha Xiu was overjoyed, thinking that he could expel it in five breaths.

With a glint in his eyes, Sha Xiu called out to Zang Qiu beside the physical body:
"Zang Qiu, quickly kill Shui Ya, that traitor!"

Upon hearing this, Zang Qiu nodded slightly, and the Divine Palace Tomb appeared above his head, with the corpse spirit emerging from the coffin.

Zang Qiu's decisive response reassured Sha Xiu considerably.

"I'm so lucky!"

Fortunately, the Grand Master assigned Zang Qiu to his team; otherwise, facing the treacherous Shui Ya, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Seeing the corpse spirit move, Sha Xiu first glanced at the water cliff and thought to himself with resentment: How dare he betray the Sealing Spirit Path and plot against me?
He then focused his mind and prepared to concentrate on removing the talisman inscriptions.

Once the talisman is removed, it will be necessary to skin and dismember Shuiya!

But at that moment, Shashu suddenly felt a pause in his mind.

A sharp pain erupted from his primordial spirit, and he felt a crack suddenly appear in the Dharma Realm that lay before him.

Before he could react, the corpse spirit that had appeared out of nowhere was now standing in front of his physical body.

This power that broke through the Dharma realm was not strong, but it was unimaginably domineering.

His own protective barrier couldn't even withstand a single breath before the corpse spirit imprinted another human skin talisman on his forehead.

"why?"

Shashu murmured in despair, but before he could finish speaking, the skin between his eyebrows melted away.

A moment later, Sha Xiu, Shui Ya, and Zang Qiu stood respectfully in front of the corpse spirit Li Wushou.

The water curtain churned, and the blue whale spirit leaped out of it, spitting out the golden magic orb and the Lotus Heart Realm Treasure, which it handed to the corpse spirit Li Wushou.

This World Treasure is one of the two left over from the last seclusion.

Just after leaving the northern pass, Li Wushou used his Abdominal God to forcibly enslave the minds of the three True Lords, and secretly gave two World Treasures to Shuiya and Cuisong respectively.

With such cooperation, taking down Shashkiwa was indeed not difficult.

Holding the golden orb in his hand, Li Wushou examined it several times. Ever since he had just understood Luanxuan's "scorched earth" plan, he had been thinking of ways to deal with it.

Although he could directly destroy the two golden balls and have a good meal, this would inevitably alert the enemy.

However, if left unchecked, Li Wushou had no idea how far Zhu Liuli would transform after the Sparrow, which had devoured the primordial spirits of millions of people, was allowed to grow.

This could very well cause many of his plans to fall apart completely.

Just as he was deep in thought, the old beggar volunteered, saying he could hitch a ride.

The old beggar did not explain the method.

Two points were emphasized:

First, a 50/50 split!

Second, seize the golden magic orb before Sha Xiu spreads the primordial spirit sparrow.

Li Wushou had no objection to this and agreed without hesitation.

Afterwards, the old beggar placed his spirit in the treasure in Cui Song's hand and went with Ma Feng and the others.

Judging by the time, they should be back by now, right?
