“Cough cough cough…”
Helian Ding kept coughing up blood, his chest sporting a bloody hole. Even the body of a Greatly Accomplished God-King could not withstand Lu Qinglian’s fist.
Helian Ding had never suffered such a heavy loss at the hands of someone weaker than himself.
“You’re too weak to withstand hits, let’s continue.”
Lu Qinglian assumed a fighting stance, ready to continue the bout with Helian Ding.
Helian Ding was sweating profusely, thinking that he might actually be beaten to death by Lu Qinglian if this kept up.
“Helian Ding, that guy, is getting thrashed by a brat like this. You two, help me capture Lu Changsheng; our Huangfu Family wants to negotiate with Mount Taihua Sacred Land alone.”
Knowing that he couldn’t rely on Helian Ding anymore, Huangfu Yin called over two experts from the Huangfu Family to join the attack against Lu Changsheng.
Under Huangfu Yin’s command, dozens of Sword Aura Ice Dragons sealed off all directions, trapping Lu Changsheng.
The Huangfu Family dispatched two Divine King Realm experts, one attacking from the left and the other from the right, against Lu Changsheng.
“Kid, your defeat is certain.”
Huangfu Yin, having tested Lu Changsheng’s strength, was confident of victory.
Lu Changsheng swallowed an Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, and his cultivation level temporarily rose to the Third-Rank Divine King Realm, allowing him to hold his own against Second-Rank Divine Kings. However, as the cultivation gained from Elixir Pills wasn’t solid, it wasn’t enough for Lu Changsheng to defeat a First-Rank Divine King.
Lu Changsheng could only rely on the Mountain and Rivers Chart, continuously absorbing attacks from Huangfu Yin.
If it weren’t for the treasured item, the Mountain and Rivers Chart, Huangfu Yin would have already captured Lu Changsheng.
Now he has enlisted the help of two Divine King Realm experts, intent on winning at all costs.
“Lu Changsheng, don’t die too easily. I haven’t had my revenge yet.”
Dantai Meng saw Lu Changsheng being besieged by three Divine Kings and hesitated on whether to intervene.
The Huangfu Family was no trifling matter, and as a Cultivator Clan of the Immortal Realm, if she, a Witch, were to fall into their hands, the consequences would be dire.
Surrounded by Huangfu Yin and two of his clansmen, a sudden surge of Desolate Ancient aura emanated from within Lu Changsheng, enveloping the area in a primordial light.
Boom boom boom…
The space trembled as the Sword Aura Ice Dragons shattered inch by inch under the might of the Human Sovereign Cauldron.
All three people from the Huangfu Family were overwhelmed by the Human Sovereign Cauldron, their eyes filled with fear.
“What kind of magical treasure is this?”
Huangfu Yin was terrified; it was as if he was facing a primordial behemoth.
An Ancient Cauldron flew out from within Lu Changsheng, spreading a wild and ancient aura as if it was an emperor dominating over all, suppressing the three opponents.
The Human Sovereign Cauldron didn’t have any fancy moves; it simply rammed towards Huangfu Yin.
“Ah!”
Huangfu Yin let out a scream as he was struck by the Human Sovereign Cauldron; his body shattered and he was severely injured.
Ten miles away, Huangfu Yin reconstituted his flesh body, his face pale.
Huangfu Yin’s eyes were filled with extreme fear; just one hit from the Human Sovereign Cauldron and he nearly perished.
This Magical Treasure was even more terrifying than the Mountain and Rivers Chart.
He could never have dreamt that Lu Changsheng possessed two supreme Magical Treasures, each more formidable than the last.
“Ancestor, what should we do?”
The two Divine Kings of the Huangfu Family looked at Huangfu Yin, clueless about what to do next.
If Huangfu Yin, such a powerful expert, could suffer grievous injuries, they would fare even worse if struck by the Human Sovereign Cauldron.
“He’s stronger than we thought, retreat.”
Aware that both he and Helian Ding, the highest in cultivation, had suffered serious injuries and were unable to capture Lu Changsheng—and that they might even end up perishing there—Huangfu Yin immediately chose to flee.
Retreating was not shameful; survival was paramount.
“Retreat!”
Helian Ding also led the experts of the Helian Family in a hasty escape.
He was no match for even a disciple of Lu Changsheng, let alone Lu Changsheng himself.
“Ahhh!!”
An Elder of the Helian Family was slain by Lin Qingzhi in the midst of their escape.
As the Chief Senior Disciple, Lin Qingzhi knew the gravity of making enemies with the two Ancient Families. While Lu Changsheng held back, Lin Qingzhi actually ended the life of a high-ranking expert from the Helian Family.
The Helian Family couldn’t afford to worry about their losses, instead focusing on fleeing for their lives.
Soon, the experts from the two Ancient Families had disappeared from sight.
“That was truly formidable, to have chased away the two Ancient Families like that.”
The Princess admired how ninety-nine peerless experts from the two Ancient Families failed to subdue Lu Changsheng.
These two Ancient Families were no small powers.
“Looks like I need to lay low for a while…”
Lu Changsheng knew that the Ancient Helian Clan and the Ancient Huangfu Clan wouldn’t let things go easily. In the upcoming period, Lu Changsheng would have to stay hidden and cultivate in Mount Taihua; otherwise, if the two Ancient Families sent out ancestors of a higher level, Lu Changsheng would have trouble dealing with them.
The Human Sovereign Cauldron was not fully repaired; using it once meant it would fall into a deep slumber again.
“Dantai Meng, behave yourself.”
Under the control of Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense, the Mountain and Rivers Chart unfolded and Lu Changsheng gave Dantai Meng a meaningful look.
Dantai Meng gave Lu Changsheng a resentful glare and obediently returned to the Mountain and Rivers Chart.
If the experts of the Ancient Helian Clan and the Ancient Huangfu Clan were helpless against Lu Changsheng, then so was she, Dantai Meng.
Dantai Meng could only wait for Lu Changsheng to negotiate with the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable before returning to the Demon Realm.
In reality, Dantai Meng knew that staying inside the Mountain and Rivers Chart might be safer than wandering around blindly.
The Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable had offended many Holy Lands and Prestigious Families in his time, and countless powers in the Immortal Realm wanted revenge against him. If Dantai Meng fell into their hands, her fate would be ten times worse than being in the hands of Lu Changsheng.
Even more horrifying was the prospect of being captured alive by the Heavenly Court and imprisoned in the Ninefold Heavenly Prison.
Once caught in the Heavenly Court’s Ninefold Heavenly Prison, even the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable wouldn’t have the power to rescue her.
Lu Changsheng stowed away the Mountain and Rivers Chart.
