Chapter 1005: Chapter 357: Danger, Beauty to the Rescue
Outside Long Peak Valley.
A rainbow light sped swiftly from afar. As the light faded, it landed atop Qianchang Mountain’s peak. The newcomer glanced around, just as a flickering shadow from a mountain cave halfway up appeared and settled on the summit.
The two were the Fifth and Seventh Elders of the Celestial Yin Tribe.
The Fifth Elder noticed the Seventh Elder had come alone, and frowned slightly:
"Old Seventh, is the Chieftain still in seclusion?"
"Yes, the Chieftain has stated that unless it’s a matter of life and death, he should not be disturbed, Fifth Brother, is there anything unusual ahead in Long Peak Valley?"
The Fifth Elder shook his head.
A hint of doubt lingered in his heart:
"Since Patriarch Fu entered Long Peak Valley, he’s vanished without a trace; I don’t know if he slipped underground or quietly left. Since the Chieftain isn’t coming, Old Seventh, you can accompany me to check out the situation."
With that.
The two soared with the wind, speeding towards Long Peak Valley. As they reached the skies, they looked down. The entire valley seemed bright and sunny, devoid of any anomalies.
Just then.
Rumble!
The mountain peaks surrounding Long Peak Valley started to shake and visibly froze at an astonishing speed, yet the valley itself appeared undisturbed.
The Fifth and Seventh Elders exchanged glances.
They’d been deceived!
Clearly.
A blinding technique had been set up in Long Peak Valley.
The Seventh Elder’s brow furrowed:
"Fifth Brother, how could such intense Ice Cold Power emanate from Long Peak Valley? The Fish Eagle Tribe has managed this place for nearly a thousand years, yet there’s never been talk of any treasure hidden within?"
The Fifth Elder, guarding this place and being at the Late-stage Purple Mansion, was played by a fledgling who just entered the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion. If word got back to the tribe, he’d lose face. He coldly said:
"Capturing Fu Changsheng, the little thief will solve all mysteries!"
As he spoke.
With a thought.
His Lifebound Spiritual Artifact, the Supreme Profound Abacus, whistled out. As he injected a technique into it, the abacus beads trembled slightly and shot out, orbiting around him. With a blur, his body shot towards the mountain.
"Fifth Brother!"
The Seventh Elder found the chill peculiar. He initially intended to observe a bit, but seeing the Fifth Elder so impatient, gritted his teeth, moving his thoughts too, and summoned the Profound Celestial Jade Ruler to follow.
Boom!
Just then.
A dark blue flame rose from within the valley, freezing even space wherever it passed: "This is....."
The Fifth Elder’s pupils contracted.
Fingers continuously flicked.
One by one, beads shot out, trying to halt the flame’s advance.
Bang bang bang!
However.
As soon as the beads neared the blue flame, they were instantly frozen.
Moreover, they extended rapidly towards the Fifth Elder. His pupils shrank, and mana surged into the Supreme Profound Abacus, spirit light flourished, yet upon contact with the blue flame, it was immediately frozen, a hint of panic flashed in the Fifth Elder’s eyes.
Strands of blue flame were shadowing him through the Supreme Profound Abacus, chasing after.
"Fifth Brother, retreat quickly!"
In haste.
The Seventh Elder promptly summoned the Profound Celestial Jade Ruler, momentarily blocking the blue flame, while he crushed the Small Transposition Talisman in his hand. The talisman light enveloped the two, and in the instant the flames engulfed them, they vanished with a hum, instantly transported a hundred miles away.
As the spirit light faded.
The two staggered slightly as they landed.
The Fifth Elder had taken a stroll at Ghost Gate, his face slightly pale, but in his expression lingered a hint of excitement: "Old Seventh, do you recall the blue flame in Long Peak Valley?"
The land frozen for miles.
Even their Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts were powerless.
This was no ordinary thing.
The Seventh Elder thought for a moment, shaking his head:
"Fifth Brother, do you know what that flame is?"
"Yes, that blue flame earlier should be the legendary Taiyin Separation Fire. It’s not only extremely cold, capable of instantly freezing everything, but also possesses a strong corrosive nature, able to infiltrate artifacts and opponents’ protective spiritual power."
Taiyin Separation Fire?!
The Seventh Elder exclaimed.
He, too, recalled the records about this anomalous fire, yet couldn’t quite believe it:
"Fifth Brother, I remember the Taiyin Separation Fire is ranked forty-eighth on the anomalous fire list. According to the records, it belongs to the Celestial Yellow True Dragon from the South Sea, normally it shouldn’t appear here."
Though the Fifth Elder was also puzzled.
Yet he slapped his storage bag, a flash of dawn light, and in an instant, a scroll appeared in the sky, opening slowly, revealing an illustration of an anomalous fire, nearly identical to the deep blue flame they saw in Long Peak Valley.
The Fifth Elder pointed at the scroll and said:
"Old Seventh, I’m almost certain that deep blue anomalous fire is the legendary Taiyin Separation Fire. Moreover, from the recent onslaught, this anomalous fire is clearly unowned. We must immediately inform our fellow brothers in the tribe; this represents a great opportunity for the Celestial Yin Tribe, it can’t slip away from our grasp!"
"Yes"
The Seventh Elder was equally excited.
After all, securing such Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects as the Taiyin Separation Fire could significantly boost combat abilities and future breakthroughs:
"Fifth Brother, I’ll send word to the tribe at once."
As he spoke.
Preparing to send word.
"Roar!"
From afar, a dragon’s roar echoed from the direction of Long Peak Valley, followed by a dazzling yellow light shooting skyward:
"This is..."
The two exchanged a glance.
Feeling the Dragon’s Might even from such a distance.
Could it truly be the Celestial Yellow True Dragon from the South Sea had arrived in their Eastern Wilderness territory?!
If it were truly the Celestial Yellow True Dragon, they wouldn’t be able to handle it. The Seventh Elder quickly said, "Fifth Brother, we must report this to the Celestial Yang Supreme Elder swiftly!"
