Chapter 663: Chapter 663 A Plot Against the Golden Bell Prophet, A Coincidence (Part 1)
Golden Bell Prophet was very ambitious.
He and Paper Fan Young Master were sent by the Prophet Clan to Shenzhou Continent, their mission was to infiltrate and wait for the right moment to strike.
At the same time, the two were rivals.
In their last battle, Golden Bell Prophet was gravely wounded by a sneak attack from Paper Fan Young Master, and had it not been for a secret technique to save his life, he would have perished by now.
“Damn that Paper Fan Prophet, once I find out where you are, I’ll definitely bury you alive!”
Golden Bell Prophet’s face was filled with coldness.
Unbeknownst to him, thousands of miles away, several figures were making their way across the land.
The leader of these figures was none other than Paper Fan Young Master.
Following him were Dong Yuandong, who had become one with three souls; Zhu Yongfu, who had taken possession of a pig demon and transformed into a human form; as well as Xiao Fangu, who had defected from both Misty Sect and Qingyun Sect.
They were… Tianji Pavilion F4!
“Hehe, finally found him!”
Paper Fan Young Master stared off into the distance. With his hands forming seals, an image appeared before him, revealing the figure of Golden Bell Prophet.
“Pavilion Master, who is this person?”
Zhu Yongfu asked in a deep voice.
“That’s Golden Bell Prophet, my arch-enemy. I trapped him to death once, and I didn’t expect it to be just a feigned death. Now he has returned to the world and has come to Nanwen Thirteen States,” Paper Fan Young Master replied with a chuckle.
“Pavilion Master, do you need to wipe him out?” Dong Yuandong drew his sword.
To this day, he had also broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm.
His aura had become even more terrifying.
Even as a second-tier Spirit Sea Realm practitioner, he could slay experts at the fifth-tier level of the same realm with a single sword strike.
“He’s at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, you’re no match for him,” Paper Fan Young Master said as he gently shook his paper fan and laughed softly, “Only the Pavilion Master himself taking action can trap him to death.”
Xiao Fangu, standing at the back, didn’t say a word.
Since Dong Yuandong’s appearance, his status in Tianji Pavilion had fallen to the bottom, and he was garnering less and less importance.
But to him, it didn’t matter.
“Staying in Tianji Pavilion is not a long-term solution, these people have achieved nothing. Following them, I will not make any progress. If I break free from the bonds on me, I must escape,” Xiao Fangu thought to himself.
However, his soul was controlled, and escaping from these ties was particularly hard. He had to find the perfect opportunity to do so.
In the meantime, Paper Fan Young Master continued:
“We’ll follow him, find an opportunity to trap Golden Bell Prophet… However, this man is also a prophet, his divination skills are no weaker than mine, and he might realize the danger. Therefore, we must be careful and cautious in our actions!”
“First, we must set up a Formation.”
“Then, we follow him and secretly lie in ambush.”
“Finally, I will confront him head-on, while you all quietly set up the Formation, draw him into it, and then, with the Formation, the Pavilion Master will personally take him down!”
Paper Fan Young Master had many cunning plans.
If not for that, he wouldn’t have been able to trap Golden Bell Prophet to death that year.
“Yes.”
Zhu Yongfu, Dong Yuandong, and Xiao Fangu all nodded their heads, taking the various formation diagrams that Paper Fan Young Master handed out. They assembled a Middle-Grade Supreme Killing Array on the spot, capable of suppressing a peak Spirit Sea Realm expert.
Because Wang Ping’an and Li Qiankun were tens of miles away from Golden Bell Prophet, separated by mountains, their whereabouts were not detected by Paper Fan Young Master.
As for the three groups present, Paper Fan Young Master knew of Golden Bell Prophet but not of Li Qiankun and Wang Ping’an, while Golden Bell Prophet was aware of Wang Ping’an and Li Qiankun but did not know about Paper Fan Young Master.
Li Qiankun and Wang Ping’an, on the other hand, had no idea that Paper Fan Young Master and Golden Bell Prophet were lurking nearby.
Thousands of miles away.
Golden Bell Prophet was lying on the ground, looking at Li Qiankun and Wang Ping’an not far away, he raised his hand, and a large amount of Evil Qi appeared in his palm.
“I’ll make a divination first.”
He formed seals with his hands, consumed a massive amount of Evil Qi, and divined the dangers he might encounter if he made a move on Li Qiankun.
“Heaven and Earth Spirits, Evil Qi divination, begin!”
As Golden Bell Prophet formed the seals, his hair began to fall out and the Evil Qi formed an ancient mirror that displayed a scene.
In that scene.
Golden Bell Prophet turned into a shadow, charging forward to attempt to kill Li Qiankun. All of a sudden, the sky ripped apart, and a golden hand descended from the heavens and smacked him dead.
“Dare to act against my Sect Leader’s disciple, and your entire family will be executed!”
A voice as loud as thunder exploded.
The image ends here.
“It’s… it’s Ye Feng!”
The Golden Bell Prophet trembled violently.
During this period, he had sneaked into the Southern River Basin of Mystique Kingdom more than once, hearing rumors about Ye Feng and knowing he was a terrifyingly powerful figure capable of slaying the Heavenly Emperor.
Predicting such an outcome terrified him.
“No, no!”
“The plan to assassinate Li Qiankun must be aborted, I need to leave immediately, or else, my life will be in danger.”
The Golden Bell Prophet raised his hand and looked at the small golden bell lying in his palm, sighing.
He admitted that he was not cut out to oppose the Misty Sect.
“If I can’t strike at Li Qiankun, perhaps I can deduce what they plan to do, right?”
The Golden Bell Prophet then took out a large amount of Evil Qi and began to deduce again.
In the scenes that followed.
Li Qiankun and Wang Ping’an roamed the Nanwen Thirteen States, devouring Evil Qi, slaying wild beasts that had encroached from other places, reaping no small reward, and then returned to the Misty Sect.
Overall, there wasn’t much disturbance.
“So it was just a training expedition.”
The Golden Bell Prophet breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, he thought Li Qiankun had deduced his presence in the Nanwen Thirteen States and thus came over to ambush him.
Now, it seemed it was just a coincidence.
“That being the case, I can follow Li Qiankun and secretly learn his finger-gesturing techniques; maybe I can learn something.”
The Golden Bell Prophet cradled the golden bell and surreptitiously followed.
What he didn’t know was:
Hundreds of miles away.
The Paper Fan Young Master and the Tianji Pavilion F4 were holding a formation map, killing their way over with formidable momentum.
And Li Qiankun and Wang Ping’an were coincidentally flying in the direction to meet them—it wouldn’t be long before they encountered each other.
An hour later.
Atop a mountain peak.
Li Qiankun and Wang Ping’an stood still, using a Purple Gold Gourd to absorb the residual Evil Qi in the clouds.
“As expected of the Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact ‘Filth Stabilizing Gourd’ refined by the Sect Leader, it absorbs Evil Qi very quickly.”
Li Qiankun smiled.
In recent times, to upgrade the Refining Furnace to a Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure, Ye Feng relentlessly had it refine various Supreme Grade and Upper Grade Spiritual Artifacts, and even Lower Grade and Middle Grade Spiritual Treasures, accumulating massive amounts of upgrade energy.
The increase in the quantity of Spiritual Artifacts and Spiritual Treasures had the direct consequence of the disciples and Sect Leaders having more and more Divine Weapons at their disposal.
True Disciples almost all had an Upper Grade or Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact each.
Meanwhile, dozens of miles away.
The Golden Bell Prophet overheard the conversation between the two men.
“Filth Stabilizing Gourd… That’s quite a nice Spiritual Artifact, I wonder if I can snatch it away…”
He muttered to himself, completely unaware that just a few miles away, four figures were sneaking over, keeping close to the ground.
“We’re now only five miles away from the Golden Bell Prophet, within the attack range of the formation, set up the formation!”
the Paper Fan Young Master laughed heartily.
“Yes.”
Dong Yuandong, Zhu Yongfu, and Xiao Fangu all threw out the formation maps at the same time, causing them to swiftly traverse several miles, forming a glowing Hexagram Killing Array above the Golden Bell Prophet.
Hum!
Six golden light pillars descended from the sky, instantly trapping the completely off-guard Golden Bell Prophet within.
“How is this possible?”
The Golden Bell Prophet’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He was so focused on tracking Li Qiankun and Wang Ping’an that he never expected his archenemy, the Paper Fan Young Master, to stage a surprise attack from behind.
“Strange, what’s that formation over there?”
Wang Ping’an and Li Qiankun were absorbing Evil Qi, initially unaware that they were being tracked by the Golden Bell Prophet.
Now, as the Hexagram Killing Array trapped the Golden Bell Prophet, they immediately sensed the disturbance and looked in that direction.
