Zhen Ciming set up a barrier for the Mysterious Peak that allowed those inside the valley to see outside, while preventing outsiders from seeing into the valley.
Xie Yujia stood at the entrance of her cave mansion and saw streaks of golden light flashing. She focused on observing and found Zhao Yanzi riding on Little White's back being attacked by Duan Yao from the Heavenly Mountain Sect.
Zhao Yanzi and Little White had reached the vicinity of Mysterious Peak, where they could have easily rushed in, but Duan Yao’s magical treasure was formidable. It released one golden square pattern after another, like rapid fire cannon shots, bombarding Zhao Yanzi.
Boom!
Another golden seal struck Little White's abdomen.
Little White rolled three times in mid-air, and the place where it had been hit turned from white to charred black.
If not for Little White having already reached the third stage of spiritual beast cultivation and Duan Yao’s cultivation level not being exceptionally high, this strike alone would have sent Little White plummeting!
Zhao Yanzi's hands gripped tightly onto Little White's mane; just now, Little White's 360-degree roll almost flung her off!
"Little White!"
Heartbroken for Little White and filled with rage towards Duan Yao, Zhao Yanzi glared at her.
Zhao Yanzi knew that Little White’s speed couldn’t evade the golden seal but still tried its best to prevent the seals from hitting Zhao Yanzi's body!
"Wicked woman! Eat another two seals of mine!" Duan Yao was equally infuriated and held up her Heaven-Reversing Seal high.
"Little White, escape inside!" Zhao Yanzi tossed her Purple-Blue Treasure Sword underfoot and leaped onto it.
Though her sword-riding speed couldn’t match Little White’s, she didn't want Little White to defend with its body!
Standing on the Purple-Blue Treasure Sword, Zhao Yanzi shot up dozens of meters.
Zip! Zip!
Two golden seal patterns flew towards Zhao Yanzi.
Riding her sword, Zhao Yanzi released a small dagger. With a gesture, the dagger pierced towards Duan Yao.
Seeing Zhao Yanzi counterattacking with her own magical treasure, Duan Yao’s rage boiled over. Sitting atop a fourth-stage Snow Lion, she rose half a meter and shook her seal again.
Zhao Yanzi had no qualms about trading blows with Duan Yao for mutual destruction. She couldn't dodge the two beams of golden light charging at her.
Boom!
One beam grazed Zhao Yanzi's shoulder, while another struck directly on her shoulder!
Zhao Yanzi’s shoulder was blown apart with a large wound; she flew backward like a kite cut loose, and the pink pajamas quickly turned crimson.
Seeing things going awry, Little White roared as it lunged towards Duan Yao, simultaneously spewing out a fireball and an ice shard!
"Release!
Duanyao's seal exerts its power once again.
A beam of golden light pierces through the fireball and icicle!
The dagger that stabbed towards her, she easily dodges. The dagger grazes past her ear as Zhao Yanzǐ loses control over it; Duanyao catches up with it effortlessly.
With a pale face, Zhao Yanzǐ separates from the sword and falls toward the valley in an arc.
Duanyao finally lets off some of her private resentment before realizing that she might have killed Zhao Yanzǐ. Though she often loiters around the Fifth and Sixth Layers, she has never killed another cultivator.
Although Zhao Yanzǐ is an enemy to her, Duanyao sees her as utterly wicked. Yet when it comes to actually killing her, Duanyao feels a bit anxious.
The feud over treasure is one of life and death in the Fifth and Sixth Layers. Some cultivators kill their acquaintances just for treasures.
Duanyao's consecutive attacks on Zhao Yanzǐ were indeed to put an end to her because Uncle Ancestor gave her the magic weapon to eliminate her and retrieve the treasure belonging to Mount Heaven Sect.
The most precious artifacts and techniques of Mount Heaven Sect are never allowed to fall into another cultivator’s hands!
To cover up… Duanyao grips the Pangu Seal, watching Zhao Yanzǐ falling towards the valley. She grits her teeth.
Killing one's first enemy is a must for any cultivator in a sect!
In the Fifth Layer and above, power reigns supreme. Cultivators who are too kind-hearted often become others' meals!
Letting go of an opponent means self-harm! One has to be ruthless and eliminate potential threats completely!
To reach Core Formation's late stage like Uncle Ancestor, he must have trampled over many corpses.
The words reverberate in Duanyao’s mind.
Boom!
Duanyao's Pangu Seal emits another beam of golden light.
Whoosh… A white shadow flashes through the valley and catches falling Zhao Yanzǐ.
Meanwhile, Duanyao's Pangu Seal deviates slightly under her distracted state, hitting a distant peak and breaking off its tip.
In feuds of life and death, one can't be soft-hearted!
Duanyao thinks about what Zhao Yanzǐ did to her, tightens the Pangu Seal in her hand, and raises it high once more.
She has seen all kinds of dangers—her fellow disciples were killed by other cultivators, while some senior disciples eliminated others. Yet she hasn't killed any cultivator!
As the sole daughter of Mount Heaven Sect’s sect leader, she doesn’t need to go into truly dangerous places, and nobody dares to provoke her—the jewel of Mount Heaven Sect.
Only Zhao Yanzǐ burst into her life, snatching away her magic weapon, cultivation technique, and jade pendant!
And that "Silver Thief" always backs up this evil woman! She, Duanyao, has never been bullied like this before!
Thinking of these things, the spiritual energy in Duanyao's hand surges, making the Pangu Seal glow brightly.
"Plead for mercy, and I'll spare your life! But you’ll be a slave to the Heavenly Mountain Sect for the rest of your life!" Duan Yao shouted.
Swoosh... A sudden beam of white light shone up from Duan Yao's left side.
Duan Yao turned her head in panic, only to see a shining white arrow flying at an incredible speed towards her.
Pu!
The sharp arrow pierced straight into her shoulder!
Duan Yao felt intense pain in her shoulder and reached out to press on the wound. There was no physical arrow, as if a bullet had been shot directly into her flesh, causing blood to spurt out!
She gritted her teeth and looked in the direction where the arrow came from; she saw an attractive woman standing atop a distant mountain peak, wearing unfamiliar attire while holding a bronze longbow.
The pretty lady raised the bow and made the gesture of drawing it back without any arrow on it!
Zhuangzi carried Zhao Yanzi with her weakened soul. Her eyes narrowed to slits, she saw... standing atop that peak was Xie Yujia!
Xie Yujia was currently drenched in sweat.
She did not know the sword technique for flying and didn't have a flying magic treasure either; those snow lion cubs in the valley were all too young to fly. When she saw Zhao Yanzi’s dangerous situation from within the valley, she could only sprint madly through the mountain peak until reaching the summit.
The Illusory Peak looked small with its three-sided mountains and a tiny hillside area, but it was still quite far when running and climbing.
She didn't even care that her arms and legs were scratched by bushes on both sides!
Xie Yujia’s strength had almost been completely drained after reaching the summit. Upon seeing Duan Yao about to attack again, she instantly drew back her bowstring and shot out another arrow!
Before this, Xie Yujia didn't have any bad feelings towards Duan Yao; rather, she thought Zhao Yanzi's actions were excessive. But now it was clear that the truly cruel one was Duan Yao! She wanted to take Zhao Yanzi’s life.
Swoosh... Without speaking a word to Duan Yao, Xie Yujia shot another white sharp arrow from her demonic bow.
The second arrow shocked the heavens and earth!
At this moment, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to fluctuate. This arrow composed of spiritual energy produced a whistling sound out of nowhere!
Duan Yao had never seen such a treasure before; she was sitting on the back of a fourth-stage snow lion and moved her calves.
The snow lion quickly flew dozens of meters high in the air. Duan Yao held the Heaven-Overturning Seal, releasing its seal light!
She was indecisive when it came to whether she should kill Zhao Yanzi or not, but in terms of treasure struggles, she was clear and decisive without any hesitation!
Her practical level might be somewhat poor, but she still had a Condensing Core Realm.
Bang!
The white light and golden light clashed evenly!
Duan Yao was greatly surprised; this Heaven-Overturning Seal was her late Soul Formation period great uncle’s treasure given to her, with power almost on par with the Purple-Green Sword. Furthermore, as a Condensing Core Realm cultivator like herself, she could control it freely.
But she didn't expect that this Foundation Establishment period female cultivator's illusory arrow released from the bow-shaped treasure would not be inferior to her Heaven-Overturning Seal!
The little white rabbit, whose pure white fur had turned almost entirely black from charring, carried the weakened Zhao Yanzi and flew to Xie Yujia's side.
Seeing that Zhao Yanzi was still alive, Xie Yujia felt slightly relieved. However, seeing the bloody wound on Zhao Yanzi’s shoulder made her angry.
Although she had some conflicts with Zhao Yanzi, she did not allow others to injure Zhao Yanzu!
Xie Yujia rarely lost her temper, but this time, she was truly furious!
She gritted her teeth tightly. Her left hand held the bow while her right hand pulled back the string and shot an arrow with all her might.
Vwhoosh… This time, the arrow emitted black and white alternating light rays because Xie Yujia had infused both life and death talismans into it!
Even a single life or death talisman alone was enough to shake heaven and earth. By combining them, an explosive effect would be produced!
Duan Yao didn’t expect Zhao Yanzu to have reinforcements; she unleashed all her abilities as a Core Formation cultivator, the golden radiance of her Heavenly Reversal Seal blinding, then blasting out another seal pattern.
Bang!
The arrow and the seal pattern collided mid-air. The black and white light rays from the arrow shone brightly while the gold from the seal also intensified fiercely!
Carrying Duan Yao, the fourth-stage snow lion could not withstand this heat wave and retreated several dozen meters.
Duan Yao widened her eyes in surprise as she watched Xie Yujia; she didn’t expect a Foundation Establishment cultivator to be capable of such power!
She hadn’t expected that the talisman cultivation technique, "Tens of Thousands of Laws Returning to Talismans," and the Five Elements Life and Death Talisman used by Xie Yujia were already heaven-defying techniques. However, she also felt that the longbow magical treasure Xie Yujia was using wasn't inferior to her Great Uncle’s Heavenly Reversal Seal; it might even be of a higher grade than it!
Xie Yujia forced Duan Yao back with two arrows and quickly retrieved from her Buddha Beads Ring an amber flask. Pouring out a detoxifying pill and a replenishing Qi pill, she placed the latter in Zhao Yanzu’s mouth before crushing the former to sprinkle over the wound.
Fourth-grade pills had miraculous effects, but if used too late, they might not save Zhao Yanzu!
"Little White, be good and go find Hao Ren," Xie Yujia patted Little White’s head as she spoke.
After placing Zhao Yanzu beside Xie Yujia, Little White jumped into a valley far away.
Duan Yao watched as Xie Yujia treated Zhao Yanzu. Worried that Xie Yujia's longbow had even greater power, she cautiously sat on the back of the fourth-stage snow lion and hovered in mid-air.
However, Little White reappeared from the valley with the Purple-Green Treasure Sword in its mouth!
Seeing this treasure sword made Duan Yao suddenly realize — she had forgotten! She should have taken it back!
Holding the Purple-Green Treasure Sword, Little White returned to Xie Yujia’s side and dropped it at her feet with a thud.
Duan Yao's face instantly turned pale as she glared angrily at Xie Yujia. "That sword is mine! Give me back my sword!"
Xie Yujia ignored her, threw two replenishing Qi pills to Little White, and slowly drew out the demon bow.
