Chapter 229 Battle Against a Higher Level

Inside the city, Lu Zhanxing, the sect leader of the Biye Sect, was somewhat uneasy.

Luan Shijian had been sent out for several days, and according to Lu Zhanxing's previous expectations, he should have returned two days ago.

Even if there are some setbacks, it shouldn't have dragged on for so long.

"Luan Shijian is already at the peak of the Fusion Realm. Even if someone from the Yuelan Sect forcibly breaks through to the Fusion Realm, they certainly won't be his match..."

Lu Zhanxing thought to himself, "If that's the case, why hasn't he brought any news yet?"

Lu Zhanxing paced back and forth inside the room.

Having been in Jifeng Prefecture for some time, we still haven't found any clues about the monster map or the Old Man of Ten Thousand Fields.

"Could it be...?"

Suddenly, Lu Zhanxing stopped in his tracks.

He considered one possibility: "Could it be that the people from the Yuansheng Sect have already returned from Wansheng Prefecture?"

The more Lu Zhanxing thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"That should be the case... The Yue Lan Sect and the Yuan Sheng Sect of Fei Yun Prefecture have already joined forces, and it's highly likely that a Dao Realm Grandmaster from the Yuan Sheng Sect of Wan Sheng Prefecture will lend a hand..."

Lu Zhanxing knew very well that if this were the case, then Luan Shijian would likely suffer a crushing defeat.

Thinking this way, Lu Zhanxing felt a little more at ease.

In his view, the Yuansheng Sect Dao Realm Grandmaster from Wansheng Prefecture might be quite strong, but he certainly couldn't kill Luan Shijian.

"Their sect leader, who is at the Qi Refining Realm, definitely won't come..."

Lu Zhanxing's eyes showed a thoughtful expression: "In Wansheng Prefecture, they are still facing considerable trouble. Sect Master Xin Andao certainly cannot extricate himself. At most, he can only send two or three Grandmasters of the Fusion Body Realm..."

"Original Sect..."

A cold glint appeared in Lu Zhanxing's eyes: "Once we obtain the Demon Beast Map and the Sect Token, we will make you all submit to us when we return to Wansheng Prefecture."

Just as Lu Zhanxing was envisioning the future, he suddenly sensed the approaching auras of four Dao Realm Grandmasters.

"Four Grandmasters of the Dao Realm?"

Lu Zhanxing's eyes first showed a look of doubt.

The spiritual energy in the seventeen prefectures of Yuanbei is scarce, and it is difficult to find even one local Dao Realm Grandmaster, let alone four.

"Let's go take a look."

Although Lu Zhanxing was cautious, he was not panicked.

He was a Grandmaster of the Qi Condensation Realm, and he was not afraid of the four Grandmasters of the Body Fusion Realm.

Lu Zhan walked out of the room.

They were now in a place where they had seized the mansion of a family in a prefecture, making it the temporary headquarters of the Biye Sect.

The disciples of the Biye Sect were very satisfied with their current living environment.

Here, they are all top-notch experts, free from the pressure of survival. Ordinary martial artists and masters can only look up to them.

Although Lu Zhanxing thought there was something wrong with the changes in his disciples' mentality, he did not reprimand them. He planned to have his disciples calm down before returning to Wansheng Prefecture.

Meanwhile, outside the mansion.

Xu Ning, Wan Ye, Teng Yun Kong, and Gu Man have arrived outside the temporary residence of the Bi Ye Sect.

"This is indeed the headquarters of the Azure Night Sect."

Wanye said.

They had all sensed that there were several Dao Realm Grandmasters and more than twenty Void Realm High-Level Martial Artists inside this large mansion.

"The Biye Sect probably sent out most of its disciples to do the work, leaving only a small number of disciples to guard this place, presumably on standby at any time."

"Teng Yunkong said."

"When we were in Wansheng Prefecture, we had some disagreements with the Biye Sect. If we can get rid of Lu Zhanxing today, it will also eliminate a lot of trouble later on."

It was Gu Man who spoke.

As members of the Yuansheng Sect in Wansheng Prefecture, they were also somewhat worried that if Lu Zhanxing really obtained the Demon Beast Map and the Sect Token, he might turn against his former rivals.

This time, Gu Man and Teng Yun Kong returned to the Yuanbei land not only to protect the Yuansheng Sect of Feiyun Prefecture, but also to interfere with the Biye Sect's attempt to obtain the Demon Beast Map and Sect Token.

Xu Ning didn't say much. He could sense that the auras of those several Dao Realm Grandmasters were approaching.

They noticed them, and they noticed them too.

"What, Xu Ning, are you ready to make your move?"

Wan Ye glanced at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning is the strongest among the four, so this operation will be led by Xu Ning.

"Let's do it."

Xu Ning gave an affirmative answer.

Having just advanced to the Dao Realm and returned to the Northern Lands from the Golden-Eyed Demon Ape, Xu Ning had no intention of engaging in a decisive battle with the Azure Night Sect.

At first, he just wanted to show some strength and make the Biye Sect back down.

However, Lu Zhanxing's act of sending Luan Shijian in an attempt to destroy the Yuelan Sect completely crossed Xu Ning's bottom line.

Now that he has turned the tables on Luan Shijian, the two sides are in a very difficult situation to resolve.

"When we make our move later, I'll deal with Lu Zhanxing. The three of you can keep up with the other four Grandmasters of the Fusion Realm."

Xu Ning spoke to the three people beside him.

"it is good."

The three nodded in response.

"Then let's strike first."

Xu Ning exuded a fierce fighting spirit.

Wow!

Xu Ning directly activated the Wind and Smoke Gourd, releasing the gray mist and smoke inside, which enveloped most of the mansion.

Lu Zhanxing and the other four elders at the Fusion Realm who arrived were also instantly enveloped.

"Oh no! It's the enemy!"

Lu Zhanxing and the others originally wanted to test the strength of the visitors, but as soon as the gray mist and smoke were released, they realized that the enemy had come to their door.

"Get out of this gray fog quickly!"

Lu Zhanxing quickly spoke to the four elders beside him.

Surrounded by the gray fog and smoke, Lu Zhanxing felt a strong sense of crisis.

bass!

As soon as Lu Zhanxing finished speaking, a blade flashed towards him.

He reacted instantly and dodged the attack.

"As expected of someone at the second level of the Dao Realm, their reaction speed is indeed fast!"

The one who drew the knife was naturally Xu Ning.

If the target is a Grandmaster of the Fusion Realm, then even if the first strike fails, it can still severely injure them.

Yet, he remained unharmed even when facing a Grandmaster of the Qi Refining Realm.

"Where did this Dao Realm Grandmaster come from?"

Lu Zhanxing was filled with questions, but soon he sensed two familiar auras.

"It's Gu Man and Teng Yunkong from the Origin Sect! Among these four, there are members of the Origin Sect!"

Lu Zhanxing also realized this.

As for Xu Ning and Wan Ye's identities, he had no idea.

Otherwise, if he knew that the old man Wanye, whom he had been searching for, was right in front of him, he would definitely have attacked Wanye first.

"Quickly lure the enemy away, don't hurt the sect disciples!"

Lu Zhanxing secretly transmitted his voice to the three elders.

He then headed out of the city and did not retaliate immediately.

There are still many disciples at the high level of the Void Realm in the mansion. If they are affected, it will seriously damage the foundation of the Biye Sect.

"Are we heading out of the city...?"

Xu Ning also realized Lu Zhanxing's intentions and followed him closely.

Going to fight outside the city was also what Xu Ning hoped for. He had planned to lure Lu Zhanxing outside the city if he couldn't end the battle quickly.

Otherwise, their fight would definitely affect some innocent people in the city.

Lu Zhanxing's decision to leave the city voluntarily to prevent injuries to the disciples of the Biye Sect has saved Xu Ning a lot of trouble.

Lu Zhanxing vanished in a blur, disappearing at breakneck speed.

Xu Ning, wielding the Wind and Smoke Gourd, was enveloped in a hundred-meter-wide mist and smoke, and his speed was not much different.

"The speed of a Grandmaster at the Qi Refining Realm is indeed fast; the gray mist and smoke can no longer cover him..."

Xu Ning could only extend the gray mist and smoke to a distance of several hundred meters around him, but that would be extremely taxing on him.

"This gray mist and smoke must have been generated by a secret treasure..."

Lu Zhanxing, who was ahead, felt relieved after leading Xu Ning away from the disciples' gathering place.

He was terrified that Xu Ning would abandon him as a target and slaughter the disciples of the Biye Sect.

"Secret treasure..."

A greedy glint appeared in Lu Zhanxing's eyes.

Such a treasure is extremely rare, even in Wansheng Prefecture, and I actually stumbled upon it here.

"If we can obtain this treasure, then even without the demon beast map and sect token, this trip will still be worthwhile..."

Lu Zhanxing was quick-witted; he was already planning a counterattack.

"Who exactly are you! Why are you entangled with the people of the Yuansheng Sect? Are you an accomplice they brought from Wansheng Prefecture?"

After leaving the city, Lu Zhanxing suddenly turned around, holding an ice crystal spear in his hand.

Xu Ning ignored him completely. Seeing Lu Zhanxing stand still, he directly carried the gray mist and smoke and went straight up.

Lu Zhanxing sneered, raised his ice crystal spear, and then slashed downwards fiercely.

The spear tip struck the ground, and a tremendous force was transmitted, directly shattering the ground.

Then a pale blue, semi-transparent, domineering, and strange force slashed into the gray mist.

"This is...罡气 (罡气 is a type of internal energy)!"

Xu Ning also sensed the danger approaching and quickly took cover.

Swish!

The domineering aura sliced ​​the gray mist in half, revealing Xu Ning's location.

"Fine, I don't care who you are anymore. Killing you and getting the treasure is the most important thing!"

After Xu Ning revealed his presence, Lu Zhanxing lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped forward, thrusting his spear at Xu Ning.

"Is this the direct pressure exerted by a Grandmaster of the Qi Refining Realm...?"

Xu Ning quickly activated the Wind and Smoke Gourd to gather the gray mist and smoke together.

However, Lu Zhanxing's movements were too fast. Before Xu Ning could disappear into the gray mist again, the tip of Lu Zhanxing's spear was already in front of Xu Ning.

Xu Ning channeled the power of his Dao Realm, swung his Azure Wolf Blade, and deflected Lu Zhanxing's spear tip with a single blow.

Immediately afterwards, the gray fog and smoke gathered, and Xu Ning's figure disappeared into it once again, while Lu Zhanxing was also shrouded in it.

"Um?!"

The moment Lu Zhanxing's spear tip clashed with the Green Wolf Blade, he sensed a violent aura.

That violent aura even made his mind waver for a moment.

"That soldier is suspicious!"

Lu Zhanxing discovered the special features of the Green Wolf Blade.

"It's unbelievable that this person, merely a Grandmaster of the Fusion Realm, possesses a secret treasure and a Dao weapon with special effects... Defeating him would yield enormous gains!"

Lu Zhanxing's heart was burning with passion.

"The difference in realms between Dao Realms is still quite significant..."

Xu Ning, hidden in the gray fog and smoke, observed Lu Zhanxing.

If it weren't for his profound foundation and the six attribute seeds he possessed, he would have been injured in that exchange of blows.

"Fortunately, I haven't revealed my trump card yet, so I still have a chance to defeat it later!"

Even now, Xu Ning remains calm and seeks the best opportunity to strike.
