“You’re wrong. I didn’t give her face, but give the one that gave her that jaded pendant!” said Wang She, “Yan Yunyan is the Jin Emperor’s daughter, entitled as “Princess Heyang”. She’s only 17, but she’s famous. It is said that she has been instructed by talented people since she was young. She is also intelligent and resourceful, and quite remarkable among the Jin Emperor’s children. Many people say that if she were a man, she would probably be one of the most eligible Princes to compete for the throne. Unfortunately, she’s a girl. Because she is a girl, she is very popular among many good Princes. Moreover, she was so beautiful that many young aristocrats like her!”
“There are too many beautiful and intelligent people in the world. Tell me the origin of that jade pendant!”
“I never believed that she had been instructed by talented people. But it now appears that’s true. That jade pendant is a token of the East Sea Skyward Palace. Do you know the Chaotian Palace? You’ve been in conflict with them. But there’s some friendship between the Chaotian Palace and the Tian Long Taoism. I’m a Chief of the Tian Long Taoism, so I have to give this face anyway, and let them go.”
“What about Shui Hongyan? She’s not simple. Although she is trying to restrain her breath, her strength and cultivation are all at Level Seven!”
“It has nothing to do with you, and you don’t need to know. I really should settle accounts with her. You’d better not get involved!”
“Since it’s your privacy, I certainly wouldn’t ask!” Hearing what Wang She meant, Zhou Bao smiled secretly. “You were in a trance the other day. Why are you suddenly so confident? Have been in closed-door training? Have you come up with ideas to deal with the Kunlun Mountain?”
“Of course! Don’t forget that I have a set of formations!”
“The Yin and Yang Dust Formation?” Even for Wang She, when heard the term “formation”, his expression suddenly changed, “You can set the Yin and Yang Dust Formation now?”
“Not a full set, of course!” Zhou Bao said, “You know, I got two Innate Green Lotus Seeds from Happy Monk. One sold to the Jade Pool and made a set of formation flags, and the other one’s Innate Green Lotus Qi was refined into the Congenital Clear Spiritual Magic Talisman. With the formation flags and the Talisman, I can’t set the complete Yin and Yang Dust Formation, but I can concentrate on one of the six gates formations, and the power is marvellous as well!”
“Well, boy, you have more bluffs than I thought!” When Wang She heard. “Congenital Clear Spiritual Magic Talisman”, a flicker of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he immediately laughed, “Are you saying that you can deal with Ning Bo now?”
“Probably, the Invisible Dragon Rod is only a Pure Yang Celestial Device. As long as I’m good, I can guarantee him a trip with no return!”
“Don’t, boy!” Wang She’s look suddenly changed, “I warn you this time, don’t kill anyone. This is serious.”
“Rest assured, I’ve done something stupid once, and I won’t be silly for the second time!” Zhou Bao laughed, “Are you sure you can beat Kunlun Master?”
“As long as you can help me get the Invisible Dragon Rod from Ning Bo, I can help you defeat Kunlun Master!”
“Really? If I remember correctly, you seem to have been chased by another Grandmaster of Northern Yuan for thousands of kilometers!”
“The Three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan enjoy equal popularity, but Mie Chen is the most powerful one. And Ba Siba takes the second place. Kunlun Master is the weakest. Mie Chen has already reached the Demi-Mysterious Realm back then, so I couldn’t beat him. However, Kunlun Master has been at Level Nine. For decades, he didn’t make much progress, nor did he see any hope of a breakthrough. Even if he has a Pure Yang Celestial Device, he isn’t formidable!”
“That’ll be fine. We both have the confidence to win, so you don’t have to talk. Let Her Royal Highness visit the town!” Zhou Bao chuckled and his voice faded.
“The Yin and Yang Dust Formation and the Congenital Clear Spiritual Magic Talisman. The Talisman is too clear to connect even just heard that the refining method has been lost. The Yin and Yang Dust Formation that he got was also seen into the Congenital Clear Spiritual Magic Talisman, but doesn’t mention the refining method. How did he make it? Who taught him? Would it be Elder Qing? No, Elder Qing told me that the refining method of this kind of Talisman had been lost for many years, and even the Immortal Palace doesn’t have it. Oh, this guy is getting more and more interesting!” Gently touching his chin, Wang She gradually turned his eyes to the small town centralization that was in the sunset, and the smile on his face became brighter, “The Yin and Yang Dust Formation, a Pure Yang Celestial Device, I don’t know if this guy was planning to establish a new sect? If he does well this time, he might be able to establish one in the northwest. If so, what will be the expression of the old things on the Tian Long Mystic Mountain? Oh, Oh, hahaha!”
Wang She grew more happier, and he found it more interesting. Then his body, in a burst of laughter, turned into a breeze and disappeared.
…
…
Princess Heyang Yan Yunyan was doomed to disappointment, because all the facts showed her that Wang She did not joke with her, and Zhou Bao really avoided it.
No one was in the yard at the foot of the Jilei Mountain, nor in the yard outside the mine vein. Yan Yunyan didn’t give up until the next day, and the people of Kunlun Mountain came, but Zhou Bao did not appear.
Compared to the last time, there were not many people from the Kunlun Mountain. They were led by a skinny old man, about 80 to 90 years old, but very energetic. His small eyes shone with a pale golden light, which was very strange.
Apart from him, the Kunlun Mountain sent only two people, and Zhou Bao knew both of them. One was the middle-aged man who came in lead the last time, and the other one was the other man whom he had seen before.
“The First Elder Ning of Kunlun Mountain is here! Zhou Bao, come out!”
They all came here in Gang Qi with a very fast speed. Arriving at the destination, the middle-aged man shouted directly without ceremony. His voice shook the field like thunder, and all of a sudden, it spread all over the places down to Jilei Mountain. Although he wasn’t sure where Zhou Bao was, he believed that Zhou Bao could hear it.
“Damn it! The people of Kunlun Mountain have come, but Zhou Bao doesn’t show up yet!”
In the town’s only tavern, Princess Heyang Yan Yunyan and Shui Hongyan were sitting face to face. When they heard the voice, their looks changed. Yan Yunyan, in particular, had a gleam of unwillingness in her eyes.
“Princess, don’t worry about it. Even if the people of Kunlun Mountain have come, we still have a chance, as long as they don’t fight!” Shui Hongyan consoled, “But Zhou Bao is defiant. Even if we meet him, it won’t be easy to persuade him.”
“Human effort is the decisive factor. As long as I see him, I’ll be sure to persuade him. But he isn’t even willing to see me now, it is extremely abhorrent!” Yan Yunyan thumped the table with hatred. Just then, a sound of fluttering noise came over.
“It’s really the First Elder Ning. Please forgive me for not greeting you!”
It was Zhou Bao’s voice, but apparently, it came from a distant place.
The place was 50 kilometers away from here at the foot of the Jilei Mountain, which was not easy to pass the voice from there. Without the cultivation of Level Seven, one could not do it.
“Hey, Zhou Bao, even if you’re hiding, we won’t let you go!” Hearing Zhou Bao’s voice, the middle-aged man heard him, “You know, the monk may run away but the temple remains!”
“First Elder Ning, you must be here to denounce me. Then I won’t evade! However, our grievance has nothing to do with others. That’s why I chose this place to settle our grievances. If you feel it’s not proper, I don’t mind changing another place!”
“No, that’s fine. Our Second Elder and two junior brothers all died here. Let their spirits bear witness!” Before the middle-aged man could open his mouth, the First Elder Ning spoke. Then a faint light glimmered beneath Ning Bo’s feet, and he disappeared. The middle-aged man with the fat man exchanged a glance, and launched themselves to follow First Elder Ning.
“Shui… ” Yan Yunyan who got out of the tavern, felt something was wrong. She was about to speak when a pink light enveloped her. Then she was rolled up by this light and flew swiftly to the foot of the Jilei Mountain, 50 kilometers away.
…
…
At the foot of the Jilei Mountain, the scene was still the same—soft green grasses carpeted the ground; the land was fertile, cattle and sheep were everywhere.
Zhou Bao sat quietly among the sheep, looking delighted. At this time, the distant sky flashed a faint golden light. When he looked up again, a skinny figure had arrived.
“You’re Zhou Bao?”
“Yes, you’re First Elder Ning of the Kunlun Mountain?” Zhou Bao smiled. At the same time, other two strands of Gang Qi flashed, and the middle-aged man and the fat man also arrived and fell behind Ning Bo.
“Right, I’m Ning Bo, the First Elder of Kunlun Mountain!” First Elder Ning nodded, and his eyes wandered across the surroundings, “Where is Chief Wang of Tian Long Taoism? I heard he has come, too!”
“I did come. But rest assured, Elder. This is between you and him, so I won’t interfere!” With a flash of green shadow, Wang She had appeared silently beside Zhou Bao. “It’s your Kunlun Master, not you, who has a grudge against me. I’m not here to help Zhou Bao, but to end the grievance in those years with Kunlun Master.”
“You’re too cocky!” The middle-aged man snapped, and when he was about to go on, Wang She gave him a stern look, and he was too frightened to continue.
Ning Bo didn’t care about Wang She’s words, but just smiled, “It’s best that you stay out of it, as for the grievance between you and the Sovereign. After this event is over, I’ll personally lead you to our mountain. How about it?”
“Good, that’s settled!” Wang She nodded with satisfaction, “Your mountain gate is too high for me to find. That’s what I wished for!”
Ning Bo smiled and turned to Zhou Bao, “I’ve heard about you, but didn’t have the chance to meet you. I finally see you today, and you surely deserve the fame. At a young age, you have reached Level Seven. In fact, your Internal Qi is so strong that it is far beyond Level Seven. Not reaching Level Eight isn’t because you cannot find a breakthrough, right?”
“The old guy’s eyes are so damn sharp!” Zhou Bao cursed in his heart, and gave a hollow laugh, “First Elder Ning has a discerning eye! But that has nothing to do with today’s business. Why don’t we get things settled and then talk about it?”
“That’s more than I could wish for!”
After hearing what Zhou Bao said, First Elder Ning Bo grinned, “Okay! Your cultivation is inferior to mine, and your seniority is lower than me, and you’re younger than me, so I won’t humiliate you. You go first! I’m very curious about your Pure Yang Celestial Device!”
“Then I don’t use much ceremony!” When he heard Ning Bo letting him strike first, Zhou Bao smiled. Then there was shining golden light in the back of his head. With the appearance of the golden light, the mighty pressure surged up like a turbulent river.
“Golden Flame Mirror, go!” Zhou Bao shouted with a low voice, and then the Golden Flame Mirror in the back of his head spewed out a straight golden light, shooting at Ning Bo straightaway.
Without changing his expression, Ning Bo did not smile until Zhou Bao used the Golden Flame Mirror. A layer of Green Qi suddenly flashed around his body, and before that golden light hit him, there was a flash of golden light in his sleeve.
The golden light, like a wheel, turned into a golden circle in a blink. With a shake and a flicker, the circle appeared over Zhou Bao’s head. Then it became nine circles and held up Zhou Bao firmly. At the same time, the golden light of the Golden Flame Mirror shot into his Protective Green Gang.
“Puff!”
With a groan whisper, Ning Bo was ready to fight against the powerful impact of the Golden Flame Mirror. He planned it very well.
The Invisible Dragon Rod had the most powerful constraint in all Pure Yang Celestial Devices. Even Zhou Bao’s Pure Yang Celestial Device was marvelous, its constraint was not as good as that of the Invisible Dragon Rod. And Ning Bo had owned the Invisible Dragon Rod for more than 100 years and knew everything about it. Zhou Bao was less than 20 years old, so even if he had been fortunate enough to get a Pure Yang Celestial Device, it would be almost impossible to thoroughly master its function in a short time.
It was for this reason that Ning Bo was confident enough to face Zhou Bao who also had a Pure Yang Celestial Device. He believed that he could beat Zhou Bao face-to-face and get his Pure Yang Celestial Device.
He also heard about the power of the golden light of the Golden Flame Mirror. The golden light killed three experts in almost a second, including an Eighth-level expert.
However, Ning Bo was not at Level Eight, but rather at Level Nine. He was truly an accomplished Level Nine expert.
He was confident that he could beat Zhou Bao’s first blow. And as long as he passed the first blow, he didn’t need to worry anymore. Because, Zhou Bao would have been caught by his Invisible Dragon Rod, not be able to play the power of his Pure Yang Celestial Device.
This was the source of all his confidence.
However, when he was fully confident to collide with the golden light of the Golden Flame Mirror with his Gang Qi, an accident occurred. This did not mean that the power of the Golden Flame Mirror was unexpectedly powerful, but unexpectedly weak, which was too weak to be credible.
It could even be said that it was simply no power at all.
The marvelous light and the scorching spirit which looked as if it could burn out everything vanished as soon as they came in contact with his Gang Qi. It was only then that he realized that it was a very ordinary beam of light, without any exception.
“Crap, I was fooled!” This was the first thought that came to his mind. Also, the moment that he thought of the idea, a thin wisp of azure light parted from the golden light and thrust into his Green Gang.
“Ah—!” Ning Bo suddenly uttered a terrible scream. The cry was so horrifying and so loud that it frightened the people who heard it.
The First Elder of Kunlun Mountain, a Level Nine expert, was so disgraceful, making such a cry in front of so many people!
This surprised the middle-aged man and the fat man who followed him.
However, after being surprised, they felt a pang of fear.
A golden light shone from behind them, and a golden sun rose suddenly into the air. Then, the straight golden light directly shot down, and the three men were firmly nailed to the ground.
At this time, Ning Bo had not recovered from the terrible and violent pain, and his eyes were perplexed. Instinctively, he wanted to take back the Invisible Dragon Rod. But his divine thoughts could not reach through the golden light that hung over his body to contact with the Invisible Dragon Rod that he had refined for more than 100 years.
Painful and anxious, the poor First Elder of Kunlun Mountain didn’t know what to do. If he had been able to move, it must have been a matter of desolation.
This was a trap, a naked trap. Zhou Bao led them to the magic matrix that he had set up, and he turned the incarnation of his Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion into him. As for the Golden Flame Mirror in the back of his head, it was also made by himself using the power of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation.
The Yin and Yang Dust Formation indeed was a Formation of Immortality. It could perfectly simulate the atmosphere and Qi Power of the Pure Yang Celestial Device, creating enormous mental pressure. The only drawback was that it could not play the true power of the Pure Yang Celestial Device.
But that was enough to deceive Ning Bo. Even though he was the First Elder of the Kunlun Mountain, it would never occur to him that there was such a magical formation in the world, which could perfectly imitate the energy fluctuations of a Pure Yang Celestial Device.
The most wonderful thing was that the golden light from the counterfeit Golden Flame Mirror naturally had no power, but the puppet of Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion was capable of attacking.
On the contrary, it is a power to strike once. Although it could only stroke once, the power was quite beyond Zhou Bao’s expectation.
The Poisonous Hitching Post!
The green-colored needle completely ignored the Protective Gang Qi of this Level Nine expert and directly harmed him.
And the damage was rare; it was not heavy, without a long-term effect on the body, but it was extremely painful!
It was a piercing, unforgettable pain.
Ning Bo lived for more than 200 years. He had suffered a lot, but it had never been so painful right now.
It was not an ordinary pain. He felt like it was killing him.
He was a little out of his sense under the influence of the pain, but the drastic pain earned Zhou Bao time to use the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill and the magic matrix. Actually, he had been standing behind the three men, so he duly took the Golden Flame Mirror to shine on them violently.
He did not use the lethality of the Golden Flame Mirror, but use all of its constraints, temporarily trapped them in the golden light.
Why was it temporary?
Because Zhou Bao had confidence that the golden light could imprison the middle-aged man and the fat man, but he was not sure that it could imprison Ning Bo, a Level Nine expert. Even if it could imprison Ning Bo, it may not be able to completely control him. Perhaps he still could manipulate his Invisible Dragon Rod while being imprisoned, which would be bad.
Therefore, at the very first time that they were imprisoned, Wang She came out of the darkness and ran towards Zhou Bao’s puppet, who had been imprisoned by the Invisible Dragon Rod.
After circling around the puppet three times, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and took out a knife from his arms and sank it into his arm ruthlessly. Then he threw his arm around and spilled a lot of blood on the Invisible Dragon Rod, as if the blood was inexhaustible.
The Invisible Dragon Rod was a Pure Yang Celestial Device, so it could not be that simple. A faint golden light flashed on the Invisible Dragon Rod, and all of the blood was blocked outside, floating in the air, which was extremely odd.
“Humph!”
Wang She snorted coldly and went pale, covered in flowing Gang Qi. Then he made an abstruse gesture, and condensed the blood that was floating in the air and turned it into a dark red, pigeon egg-sized blood ball, which was incomparable condensate.
“Oh—!”
He shouted, and used his hands, to make a gesture, together with the blood ball directly for breaking the scattered light of the Invisible Dragon Rod. Then he pressed hard against the Invisible Dragon Rod.
For a moment, the golden light of the Invisible Dragon Rod was stronger, as if to resist the immersion of Wang She’s blood. At the same time, Ning Bo who was being trapped by the Golden Flame Mirror freaked out. Ignoring the immense pain that still existed, he suddenly folded his hands together, emitting a stray of powerful Qi Power from all over his body. His Gang Qi burst out and turned into a cyan flag in front of him. Then he held the flag in his hand and waved it violently.
With a small flag waving, Zhou Bao felt a strong turmoil passing from the Golden Flame Mirror. The golden light that enveloped them was a little shaky.
“Have the instantiation of Gang Qi present?” Seeing the small flag, Zhou Bao was a little stunned, but gave a sneer appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Ning Bo was worthy of being the First Elder of Kunlun Mountain. His Gang Qi was vast, majestic, and had been instantiated. In other words, he was taking out all his cultivation to do a hard-fought battle against the Pure Yang Celestial Device.
If his opponent was someone else, the Pure Yang Celestial Device might have a problem. However, his opponent was Zhou Bao, who refined the Golden Flame Mirror by himself and had already mastered it. With a move of Zhou Bao’s heart, a green lotus suddenly appeared in the golden light, blocking the flag in Ning Bo’s hand.
“Take it easy, take it easy. I know First Elder Ning is unbeatable and can break my Pure Yang Celestial Device. But you need some time to achieve this!”
