The Langya Clan has arrived!

Hearing this...

"Go! We'll charge straight out!"

Lin Xueer's eyes were cold and sharp; she knew well the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand.

Holding her longsword, she led the other two, preparing to break through the encirclement first.

As expected...

Just as they rushed out of the dense forest...

They ran head-on into a group of Cultivators wearing uniform clothing.

There were over a dozen of them, each with a strong aura, all at the Soul Transformation stage!

They were a search party from the second-rate power, the "Mystic Ice Sect."

"Hahaha! Found them!"

"It's them!"

"Two people and a dog, that's right! It's them!"

Seeing Lin Xueer and the others, these dozen or so Mystic Ice Sect Cultivators were immediately overjoyed.

"So many factions are looking for them, I didn't expect us to be the ones to run into them!"

"We've truly struck Luck!"

"Go! Capture them! Take them back and interrogate them for the Legacy!"

Without any nonsense...

The dozen or so people immediately sacrificed their Magic Treasures, grinning as they surrounded and attacked the three.

"Seeking death!"

A cold light flashed in Lin Xueer's eyes.

"Junior Sister!"

"Do it!"

Shua! Shua!

Roar!

In an instant!

One was as scorching as a blazing sun, the other as frigid as a cold moon.

Two brilliant sword lights instantly lit up!

At the same time...

Kylin Little Treasure let out a roar, his body turning into a golden lightning phantom as he charged directly into the crowd!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In just a single exchange...

The dozen or so Soul Transformation Cultivators, who had thought victory was within their grasp, widened their eyes in shock, their souls trembling with terror; they didn't even have time to scream.

Under the strangulation of the two sword lights and the golden lightning...

They were instantly annihilated on the spot!

Turning into a ground full of mangled corpses!

...Having dealt with the enemies...

Lin Xueer and the others did not stay for a moment; they collected the spoils of war and, with a flicker of their bodies, disappeared into the vast sea of trees.

However...

What they didn't know was...

At the very moment they killed those dozen or so people...

Inside Wanyan City, at a certain stronghold...

A Mystic Ice Sect Cultivator responsible for staying behind and monitoring the overall situation suddenly felt a premonition.

He abruptly pulled out a jade pendant.

On the jade pendant, a corner of the Wan Yan Mountain Range map was revealed, where a dozen light spots representing the sect's Disciples all went out at the same time!

"What?!"

"All... all dead?!"

"This..."

This Cultivator's heart was currently filled with both shock and joy.

Shocked that a dozen Soul Transformation experts had actually been completely wiped out!

Joyful because... "This means the Legacy those three obtained must be incredibly astounding!"

"Moreover, they killed my Mystic Ice Sect Cultivators, and the location where they appeared has been exposed!"

"Hmph! Just wait to die!"

Without any hesitation...

This staying-behind Cultivator immediately took out a communication jade talisman to contact his sect's Old Ancestor, who was searching deep within the mountain range.

The Ninth Layer of Soul Transformation Stage expert, 'Daoist Mystic Ice'!

"Old Ancestor! Old Ancestor! Target discovered!"

"The location is..."

...Deep in the mountain range.

Daoist Mystic Ice, who was searching, received the communication and was immediately overjoyed!

"Good!"

"Heaven helps me!"

He threw his head back and laughed loudly, then immediately changed direction, his body moving like lightning as he sped towards the location where Lin Xueer and the others had appeared.

Relying on his deep cultivation, mastery of the map...

And rough calculations...

After a period of time...

At a canyon exit...

He indeed intercepted Lin Xueer and the others head-on as they were preparing to leave!

"Hahaha! Indeed you are here!"

"Where do you think you're running!?"

Daoist Mystic Ice laughed loudly, greed in his eyes.

Without a word, he attacked directly!

"Go!"

With a solemn expression, he flipped his palm and pinched an incantation seal.

Two ice-blue fifth-rank Treasure Artifacts shaped like curved blades and emitting bone-chilling cold—the "Water Spirit Mother-Son Treasure Rings."

Instantly soared into the air!

Buzz!

The Treasure Rings expanded against the wind, instantly turning into two incredibly massive ice-blue blade lights!

Like two towering ice mountains, carrying a terrifying aura that seemed capable of suppressing everything, they smashed down towards Lin Xueer's group!

This strike...

He used his full strength, wanting to suppress the three in one go!

Daoist Mystic Ice had even already planned it out; he must resolve the battle quickly and then take these three...

And quietly slip away!

...And facing this full-strength strike from a Ninth Layer of Soul Transformation Stage expert...

Lin Xueer and Su Chan glanced at each other, their thoughts in sync, instantly understanding each other's intent.

"End it quickly!"

"We can't drag this out!"

Otherwise, once the commotion of the battle spreads and attracts more experts, it will be troublesome!

Therefore...

"Sword Dao Divine Ability—Vast Cold Moonlight!"

"Sword Dao Divine Ability—Golden Crow Illuminates the World!"

Both girls shouted at the same time!

Shua! Shua!

A cold full moon and a scorching sun rose almost simultaneously!

Two completely different Sword Dao Divine Ability powers actually miraculously fused together at this moment!

Turning into a sword light interwoven with black and white, circulating with Yin and Yang!

In a flawless state...

Forming a perfect circle!

Then it vibrated outward!

Boom!!!

A massive explosion!

Those two terrifying ice mountain blade lights instantly shattered before this Yin-Yang sword light that radiated the essence of a circle!

Clang!

The Water Spirit Mother-Son Treasure Rings let out a wail, their spiritual light completely lost as they fell to the ground.

"What?!"

Daoist Mystic Ice turned pale with fright, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

"Two completely opposite methods can actually be fused?!"

"Moreover, I, a dignified Soul Transformation Old Ancestor, am actually not the match for these two?"

"How is this possible?!"

A strong sense of crisis instantly welled up in his heart.

"Not good! I cannot match them!"

"A gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall! I should withdraw and plan slowly!"

He made a prompt decision and turned to flee.

Because in the current situation, he might not be able to win!

And even if he could win...

He would have to fight for a long time, which would inevitably attract other Cultivators.

By then, his condition wouldn't be good, and he might not be able to take these three away. Therefore, run!

However...

It was too late!

"Slash!"

Lin Xueer and Su Chan swung their longswords.

That remnant Yin-Yang sword light, after destroying the Magical Artifact, descended from the sky in an instant!

"Hmm?"

"No—!"

Daoist Mystic Ice tried to dodge, but discovered to his horror that the sword light had actually imprisoned his magic power in an instant!

And that single instant was a death sentence!

Daoist Mystic Ice let out a desperate scream, his eyes pleading.

But—

Boom!

The sword light fell!

This Ninth Layer of Soul Transformation expert, along with the protective Magic Treasure he had struggled to sacrifice but hadn't had time to activate, was instantly blasted into dust!

Divine Soul, obliterated!

...Inside the Wanyan City stronghold.

That staying-behind Cultivator, who had been full of anticipation and felt that with his Old Ancestor's intervention, things were definitely settled.

He was happily waiting for the good news.

Suddenly...

Crack!

The jade pendant in his hand shook violently, and then several cracks actually split open!

He picked it up to look.

He was instantly struck as if by lightning, his face as pale as paper, as he slumped onto the ground.

"This this this, this is the Ol... Old Ancestor..."

"The Old Ancestor, he's dead?!"

"It's over... the sky has fallen..."

Once the Old Ancestor died, the Mystic Ice Sect lost its sole pillar; at that time, it would surely fall from a second-rate power to a third-rate one, or even be swallowed up by enemies!

Just thinking about this scene made everything before his eyes feel dark and hopeless!

"No!"

"We can't be the only ones to suffer!"

After the panic in this Cultivator's heart passed...

A wave of madness suddenly surged.

"With the current situation, my Mystic Ice Sect clearly can no longer strive for this Opportunity, but since my Mystic Ice Sect can't have it..."

"Then it's best if no one has a good time!"

He immediately took out a communication jade talisman and contacted an organization in the city that specialized in selling intelligence.

"I want to sell information!"

"I know the exact traces and escape direction of those two people and the dog!"

"I want to sell it!"

He planned to sell this information at a high price to all the factions currently searching in the Wan Yan Mountain Range!

Snatch it, fight for it!

The Mystic Ice Sect could be unlucky...

But it couldn't be just the Mystic Ice Sect that was unlucky!

All the various factions, everyone being unlucky together is better! Next, let's see who is more unlucky than whom, and who can seize the Opportunity!

As that Mystic Ice Sect Cultivator recklessly sold the exact traces and escape direction of Lin Xueer's group for revenge...

In an instant...

The situation in the entire Wan Yan Mountain Range became even more chaotic and tense.

Cultivators from various factions, like sharks that had smelled blood, frantically headed towards the routes Lin Xueer and the others might pass after purchasing the information.

Although most people were only predicting and calculating based on the locations where they had appeared before, and the accuracy was limited...

But they couldn't withstand the fact that the number of factions and Cultivators participating in the calculations was simply too many!

There were even Cultivators proficient in divination and tracking who took action.

Therefore...

There were still quite a few people who, either through strength or by sheer Luck, really did block Lin Xueer's group on their necessary path!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lin Xueer and the others were forced to break out into several intense chance encounters during their flight.

Although they broke through the encirclement time and again with their powerful strength and tacit cooperation...

But...

"Something's wrong!"

Lin Xueer killed a blocking Soul Transformation Cultivator with one sword strike, her brow tightly furrowed.

"These people... seem to know in advance that we would take this path?"

"Our whereabouts have been exposed!"

She was meticulous and quickly realized where the problem lay.

"We can't follow the original route anymore!"

"We must change direction immediately!"

After a moment of thought...

Lin Xueer made a prompt decision, leading Su Chan and Little Treasure to directly change direction.

Even if it meant taking a long detour, they had to change their position to break through; only then would it be more possible to leave the Wan Yan Mountain Range!

In this way...

The information sold by the Mystic Ice Sect was completely outdated and lost its effectiveness.

And those Cultivators who were originally lying in wait ahead naturally all came up empty-handed.

But...

Although they temporarily shook off the pursuit, because of this, the time for Lin Xueer and the others to break out of the Wan Yan Mountain Range was also greatly extended.

And during this period...

Because so many factions had mobilized with such fanfare but failed to capture Lin Xueer's group for so long...

And even some factions' Old Ancestors were counter-killed and fell.

When this news spread, not only did it not scare everyone off, but instead made the influence of this matter snowball larger and larger!

"Even a Ninth Layer of Soul Transformation Old Ancestor was counter-killed?"

"They only have Nascent Soul cultivation!"

"Those three juniors... just what kind of Heaven-Defying Opportunity did they get?!"

Now...

The factions interested in Lin Xueer's group could be said to be more and more numerous.

Not just the nearby factions...

Even some large factions from further away, upon hearing the news, also dispatched experts one after another.

Heading towards the Wan Yan Mountain Range, rushing there with all speed!

...And among these many factions converging towards the Wan Yan Mountain Range...

A top-tier faction impressively appeared, it was none other than the Myriad Spirits Langya Clan!

However...

These Cultivators of the Myriad Spirits Langya Clan were actually not specifically coming for Lin Xueer's group at first.

Their trip was mainly to accompany a distinguished guest.

A True Disciple from the Central Region's top faction—the "Western Heaven Prefecture."

Named—Gongsun Jue!

Gongsun Jue was leading a team of Langya Clan people passing through the nearby area of this place.

By chance in a tavern, he heard news of an anomaly appearing, suspected to be an ancient Legacy manifesting.

And the lucky ones who obtained the Legacy seemed to be blocked in the Wan Yan Mountain Range.

Out of a moment of curiosity...

Gongsun Jue sent a message back to the Western Heaven Prefecture, having people consult some ancient books and records regarding the characteristics of the anomaly.

Although he didn't know that what Lin Xueer and the others obtained was a Sword Immortal-level Legacy...

But based on the characteristics of the anomalies like "Planting a Golden Lotus in Fire" and "Broad Cold Immortal Palace Shining Universally"...

He keenly judged that—

The grade of the manifested Legacy or treasure was at least above the Void Returning stage!

What did this mean?

This meant that this might be a Legacy that touched upon the legendary "Dao Integration" level!

"Above Void Returning?"

"It seems this Young Master's Opportunity has arrived!"

Gongsun Jue's eyes lit up.

He immediately felt that his Luck had arrived!

As the saying goes, if Heaven gives and you don't take, you will instead suffer the consequences.

This Wan Yan Mountain Range, he had to go!

Thus...

Without another word, he directly changed his itinerary and headed straight for the Wan Yan Mountain Range!

And as companions wanting to curry favor with the Western Heaven Prefecture, the Myriad Spirits Langya Clan Cultivators naturally followed along... Above the Wan Yan Mountain Range.

A luxuriously decorated flying boat was suspended among the clouds.

Gongsun Jue, dressed in white as pure as snow, stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the rolling mountains below with a lazy expression and a noble temperament.

Behind him followed a taciturn, gray-robed old man whose aura seemed ordinary.

In reality, this was his Dao Protector.

Gongsun Jue's status in the Western Heaven Prefecture was not simple; he was no ordinary True Disciple!

Therefore, even for a simple outing, there would inevitably be a Dao Protector following him!

"The scenery here is not bad."

At this moment, Gongsun Jue looked at the Wan Yan Mountain Range and gave a faint evaluation.

Hearing this...

A middle-aged man accompanying him immediately broke into a face full of smiles.

He echoed:

"That is because True Disciple Gongsun has graced us with your presence, making everything shine; that's why these barren hills and treacherous waters appear to have such excellent scenery!"

This person was named Langya Ting.

He was a powerful Elder of the Myriad Spirits Langya Clan, and also the Elder brother of that Langya Xuan who had been scared out of his wits by Ye Qing before.

Gongsun Jue smiled slightly upon hearing this.

He was noncommittal on the surface.

However, he withdrew his gaze and casually waved his hand.

He said faintly:

"Enough."

"The scenery is good, but this mountain range is indeed a bit too large."

"Get your people moving."

"Find those two people and the dog who obtained the Opportunity for me quickly."

"This Young Master doesn't want to be delayed here for too long."

"Yes! True Disciple, please rest assured!"

Langya Ting's expression immediately became solemn, and he turned to bark at the group of Langya Clan Cultivators behind him:

"Did you all hear that?!"

"The True Disciple has given the order!"

"Act quickly! Use every means necessary to find those two people and the dog for me in the shortest time possible!"

"If the True Disciple's important matters are delayed, you will be held accountable!"

"Yes!"

The Langya Clan Cultivators shouted in unison, then turned into streaks of light, quickly dispersing into the mountain range below.
