To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

If Chen Suzhen's persistent entanglement gave Ye Qingcheng a slight headache, then Gu Fan's appearance undoubtedly made him sense a dangerous aura.

Speaking of which, Ye Qingcheng felt that she had been having a run of bad luck ever since she entered the Soul Abyss.

The Silent Palace's understanding of the Fallen Soul Abyss was no less than that of the Hundred Refinements Sect, so he entered the Fallen Soul Abyss early on, finding a secluded place to wait patiently.

The Silent Palace reveres the "Cataclysmic Annihilation Heavenly Venerable," claiming that all living beings in heaven and earth will eventually perish in the flames of calamity, so its cultivation methods naturally lean towards the fire element.

After inspecting the area, Ye Qingcheng finally chose a volcano.

The volcano was not only majestic and magnificent, but its fiery power was also immense, making it a perfect place for cultivation.

After the Soul Abyss erupted, he originally intended to avoid the first wave of evil energy storms before heading to the vicinity of the Immortal Ship to gather energy.

Before the storm had even subsided, a disciple of the Hundred Refinements Sect was seen rushing towards them.

Due to the pervasive malevolent aura, he could not see the face clearly, but he was very familiar with the radiance of the Dharma body.

As a traitor to the Hundred Refinements Sect, Ye Qingcheng had been hunted down countless times, so this was nothing new to him. He was only curious about how the other party knew he was hiding here.

Then, the Hundred Refinements Sect cultivator punched the volcano.

The immense force slammed down half of the cliff, penetrating deep into the ground. The volcano, already agitated by the eruption of the Soul-Shattering Abyss, suddenly erupted. If Ye Qingcheng hadn't dodged in time, she would have been unable to withstand the power of heaven and earth.

Ye Qingcheng was filled with rage and was about to engage in a fight when she noticed that the Hundred Refinements Sect disciple froze for a moment, then turned and ran away.

"?" Ye Qingcheng was completely confused.

But in the next instant, a giant hand formed from dark blue flames came rushing towards them, followed by a ferocious, withered figure.

"An ancient corpse!"

Ye Qingcheng was immediately horrified and cursed at the Hundred Refinements Sect disciple, but all her words were scattered in the storm of evil energy.

Fortunately, he had plenty of experience being chased, and after expending nearly half of his mana, he finally managed to shake off the ancient corpse.

But by then it was two days after the outbreak of the Soul-Shattering Abyss, and he missed the best opportunity to gather Qi!

"Fine, I'll just snatch it from someone else," Ye Qingcheng could only console herself through gritted teeth.

He was just looking for a place to recover his magical power when he bumped into Chen Suzhen, who then started entangled with him again.

Ye Qingcheng was filled with resentment, but her magical power was depleted. She assumed that Chen Suzhen was after the Xuanpin Ancestral Qi, and after a brief struggle, she offered an explanation.

Unexpectedly, Chen Suzhen disregarded everything and unleashed a series of deadly moves, engaging Chen Suzhen in a prolonged entanglement, refusing to retreat even when injured.

If the storm of malevolent energy hadn't ended, allowing him to escape during each eruption and take a qi-restoring pill, he probably would have had his magical power completely depleted by Chen Suzhen.

But every time he managed to shake her off, Chen Suzhen would track him down, which made him both puzzled and distressed.

......

Beneath the gray clouds, Chen Suzhen's face was somewhat pale as she asked, "Junior Brother, what brings you here?"

Gu Fan did not reply immediately, but first examined Chen Suzhen's injuries.

There is no doubt that Chen Suzhen's condition is extremely poor.

His face was pale and bloodless, a large part of his robe was burned off, revealing the burn marks on his body, and even the Eight-Sided Water-Splitting Sword was dim and on the verge of being scrapped.

If they had arrived any later, Chen Suzhen might have perished here.

Gu Fan said thankfully, "If my senior brother has something to do, how could I not come? Luckily, it's not too late."

"Meng Wei told you, didn't he?" Chen Suzhen gave a wry smile.

Gu Fan remained silent.

Upon seeing this, Chen Suzhen knew she had guessed correctly. She looked up at Ye Qingcheng and, suppressing her pain, called out loudly, "Since you don't recognize me, do you still remember Yong'an City?"

"Yong'an City?" Ye Qingcheng was taken aback, then suddenly laughed and said, "Yong'an City... there are still living people in it, that's really surprising."

"So, it's not a coincidence that we met here, is it?"

Chen Suzhen snorted coldly and took out a talisman from her bosom.

The talisman was yellowish all over, and Gu Fan had never seen the method of its creation before. He could only tell from the number of runes that it was a second-tier talisman.

"The Blood Feud Talisman can only be used by those who harbor a blood feud. As long as the enemy is alive, they can be traced. Even if I die today, I will avenge the people of this city!"

"This method...it seems more like the work of cultivators from the Chen Kingdom."

Gu Fan was surprised to hear this, and after thinking for a moment, he realized what was going on.

Chen Suzhen guards the Cloud Mist Sea, which is across the sea from the Chen Kingdom. She has also had many contacts with the cultivators of the Chen Kingdom, so it is not difficult for her to exchange a spirit talisman.

Upon hearing about the effects of the Blood Feud Talisman, Ye Qingcheng shook her feather fan and laughed, "Yong'an City was clearly destroyed by the people. I merely gave them a push from behind. The officials and merchants in the city colluded and treated the people like fish on a chopping block. Being killed was their own fault."

"As for the riots that followed the massacre of officials and merchants, it was all their fault for losing control of themselves; this was their downfall!"

As she spoke, Ye Qingcheng slightly raised her head: "All living beings will eventually perish in the flames of calamity. Since you are the city lord's son, you are nothing more than a fish that slipped through the net!"

After speaking, Ye Qingcheng waved her feather fan, and fine ash rained down from the clouds above, casting a faint glow that enveloped Gu Fan and Chen Suzhen.

Gu Fan immediately stepped forward and shielded Chen Suzhen behind him.

"Junior brother, be careful. This spell is very troublesome. Don't get stuck to it," Chen Suzhen warned with lingering fear.

Gu Fan nodded, the Samadhi True Fire leaping at his fingertips. He brought it to his lips and blew on it, and it transformed into a fire dragon to meet the gray clouds filling the sky.

The gourd jumped off the shoulder, its body swelled in the wind, and it opened its big mouth to spew out three fireballs.

The crimson fire dragon bared its fangs and claws, plunging headfirst into the flying ash, followed closely by three fireballs.

The ashes were inconspicuous, seemingly extinguishable with a single breath, but the fire dragon disappeared as if it had vanished into thin air after it plunged in, just like the three fireballs.

This bizarre scene left Gu Fan utterly astonished.

Ye Qingcheng smiled smugly and waved her feather fan repeatedly.

The flying ash seemed to be swept up by a gale, suddenly accelerating towards Gu Fan.

Gu Fan's expression was solemn. He summoned the Sunset Bell and hung it above his head. The ethereal mist spread out, blocking the flying ash.

Unexpectedly, in the next instant, the smoke emitted by the Sunset Bell seemed to be ignited, turning crimson at a visible speed before slowly dissipating, leaving only ashes to continue forward.

Gu Fan and Chen Suzhen quickly dodged, but Hu Lu was accidentally hit by a few wisps of ash, which burned him and made him cry out.

Ye Qingcheng looked at Chen Suzhen and laughed loudly, "This technique is called Brocade Ashes. It was made by gathering the calamity energy from the destruction of Yong'an City. It is truly fate that you will perish here today."

Just then, a clap of thunder boomed, and black lightning wove into a net, heading towards the swirling dust.

It was the Xuan Shui Yin Lei emitted by Chen Suzhen.

Unlike the previous fire dragon, the Xuan Shui Yin Lei collided with the Brocade Ash. Although it was also annihilated, the Brocade Ash also became thinner, as if the two canceled each other out.

However, after unleashing the Profound Water Yin Thunder, Chen Suzhen's face paled even more.

Gu Fan's eyes lit up.

"This ash appears to be fire magic, but it contains a violent destructive power, even surpassing that of spiritual fire. No wonder it could annihilate the Samadhi True Fire."

But the most explosive force in the world is not fire, but thunder!

Thinking of this, Gu Fan reached out and touched the Azure Lion Ring, and a stack of spirit talismans appeared in his palm.

The next instant, the talisman flew from his hand, and lightning surged forth!
