106: Fire God Child: Shen Xuansheng, hand over the treasure!
When Bei Mingxue led Shen Xuansheng past the Star Plucking Palace, a faint pink light shot into Shen Xuansheng's Storage Pouch without being noticed.
"Big Brother Shen, are we leaving now?" Bei Mingxue asked.
Shen Xuansheng said weakly, "Yes, let's leave as soon as possible."
Watching the spatial turbulence in the Celestial Palace, Shen Xuansheng's heart was bleeding. Every spatial ripple represented the departure of a Prodigy.
They've all had their fill and safely retreated?
Then what am I supposed to eat?
No!
Absolutely not!
I must leave as quickly as possible.
Although Sima Wangquan was being pursued, he closely followed behind Bei Mingxue and Shen Xuansheng.
"Of the two innate supreme treasures, I obtained one."
Sima Wangquan thought rapidly, "The god slaying sword has shown no movement at all. Could it be that it hasn't appeared?"
Sima Wangquan looked at the two figures ahead, especially at Shen Xuansheng. "The Dragon Vein disappeared, and the god slaying sword didn't appear. This is different from what I imagined!"
"Who exactly was it?"
The suspicion in Sima Wangquan's eyes grew heavier and heavier. A flash of inspiration crossed his mind. "Wait!"
"Something is very wrong!"
Sima Wangquan finally remembered what was wrong. "Shen Xuansheng never even brought out that strange furnace of his!"
And so...
Sima Wangquan had a somewhat half-baked idea. "Could it be that he plans to make his move outside?"
As soon as this thought occurred to him, a look of terror appeared in Sima Wangquan's eyes. "Surely he wouldn't be that insane? There are Experts from various other forces outside. Making a move out there would be pure suicide!"
"But why do I feel like my intuition is correct?"
Outside the Celestial Palace.
As the Prodigies emerged one by one, the Experts from various forces appeared to welcome them.
"The god slaying sword didn't appear, and the six paths mirror was taken by Sima Wangquan."
One Prodigy said gloomily.
Hearing this, the Expert from the Great Zhou Celestial Dynasty showed a brilliant smile. "Everyone, it seems that this time, my Great Zhou has won!"
"Haha!"
"I shall gladly accept everyone's stakes then."
With that, the Great Zhou Celestial Dynasty Expert prepared to collect the bets everyone had put forth.
However...
A large hand appeared and blocked his movement. "Ouyang Zhantian, why the rush?"
"Don't forget, there's still the god slaying sword."
The Great Zhou Expert, Ouyang Zhantian, said coldly, "Didn't you hear that the god slaying sword didn't appear at all?"
"Since the six paths mirror is in the hands of someone from my Great Zhou, doesn't that count as my win?"
The black-robed Jiesheng Sect Master spoke indifferently, "Just because it hasn't appeared doesn't mean no one got it. We'll know once everyone is out."
"What's the rush?"
Seeing this, Ouyang Zhantian snorted and stopped. "The Dragon Vein and an innate supreme treasure... once Sima Wangquan comes out, the winner will still be me."
"My Lord, have you still not found any signs of the Dragon Vein?" Ouyang Zhantian asked a person in a black-and-white robe beside him.
"No!"
The person in the black-and-white robe slowly shook his head. "I detected the Dragon Vein earlier, but it disappeared later."
"It should be the effect of the grand formation."
Ouyang Zhantian breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as no one else got to it first."
At the Celestial Palace exit.
Just as Bei Mingxue and Shen Xuansheng were about to leave, a surge of scorching magic power suddenly erupted from the side, attacking the two of them.
Shen Xuansheng's expression changed, and he pushed Bei Mingxue away directly.
"Who is it?"
As soon as Bei Mingxue and Shen Xuansheng separated, she immediately threw a palm strike, dispersing the force.
"Shen Xuansheng, you must have obtained quite a few treasures, haven't you?"
"You're the weakest one here. Hand over the treasures and you may live. Otherwise, die!"
Violent magic power surged from Fire God Son's body. His eyes were filled with greed as he stared at Shen Xuansheng.
"Fire God Son!"
Bei Mingxue's expression changed when she saw Fire God Son. "You're courting death!"
Fire God Son snorted coldly.
"Fire Gods Heavenly Wrath!"
An invisible Fire God's power struck at Bei Mingxue's Divine Soul. Simultaneously, a black protective shield appeared on Bei Mingxue's body, blocking Fire God Son's attack.
"Little Sister Xue, you leave first."
"I'll hold him back!"
Shen Xuansheng gathered the magic power in his body and pushed Bei Mingxue away.
"Great Luo Earth Moving Seal!"
"Great Luo Heaven Shaking Seal!"
Shen Xuansheng directly unleashed both seals. The world seemed to turn upside down as the two great seals pressed down on Fire God Son.
"Hmph!"
The flaming Immortal Essence Magic Power on Fire God Son's body grew more intense. "A mere True Immortal Realm, and you dare to fight me?"
"Fire God True Scripture!"
"Fire God Burning Heaven Finger!"
A single finger burned the heavens, and the two seals collapsed.
Terrifying waves of magic power swept in all directions.
Those who were about to leave widened their eyes when they saw Shen Xuansheng being intercepted.
"That guy was blocked by Fire God Son?"
"Serves him right!"
Well, the ones saying this were those who had been robbed by Shen Xuansheng.
But on the other side...
"Eldest Senior Sister, should we take action?"
"I heard them say Shen Xuansheng snatched quite a few good things," a Disciple from the Snow God Palace asked.
Xue Wujian directly crushed the teleportation jade token in her hand. "We won't get involved. Leave immediately. I have a feeling that something is becoming increasingly wrong, as if something is about to appear."
The Snow God Palace Disciples said no more upon hearing this.
Xue Wujian glanced at the battle between Shen Xuansheng and Fire God Son, her elegant brows furrowing. "The Great Luo Seal is this weak?"
She had seen the Great Luo Seal in Xu Yaochi's hands. As a sect-guarding level Divine Ability of a sect, the one Shen Xuansheng was currently using was clearly far too weak.
"Something is very wrong!"
Xue Wujian seemed to have realized something, and a smile played on her lips.
"Big Brother Shen!"
After being knocked back by Fire God Son, Shen Xuansheng spat out a mouthful of blood. Bei Mingxue's expression changed.
"Little Sister Xue, you go first!"
"I'll hold him back!"
Shen Xuansheng roared, his magic power rolling and thunder whistling. Seeing this, Bei Mingxue's eyes grew moist. She knew about the origin of thunder; Shen Xuansheng had just obtained it. The fact that he was using it now meant...
Shen Xuansheng had reached his limit!
"Fire God Son, if anything happens to Big Brother Shen, my Bei Ming Family will surely hold your Fire God Sect accountable!!"
"Even if the Fire God Cult Master himself comes forward, he won't be able to protect you. Mark my words!!"
As she was being pulled in by the spatial rift, Bei Mingxue shouted at Fire God Son.
Fire God Son: "Hmph!"
"If you have the ability, then go find my Revered Master!"
Once Bei Mingxue disappeared into the spatial rift, Fire God Son's originally violent magic power vanished instantly. In a flash, he arrived at Shen Xuansheng's side. "Are you alright?"
Shen Xuansheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. At this moment, where was the weakness on his face?
"I'm fine."
"How's the situation? Did you find Gong Fengyu?"
Fire God Son took out a jade bottle and placed it in Shen Xuansheng's hand. "If he were at his peak, I really wouldn't be certain. But I followed your instructions and tracked him all the way. That guy indeed knew about the Legacy here in advance. I made my move when he was halfway through accepting it."
Shen Xuansheng took the jade bottle. "What Dao Body?"
"The Dragon Aspect Dao Body!"
Fire God Son said, "These Imperial Dynasty Family members hide themselves deeper than the last. Or perhaps it's because we can't reach their level. Born with a Dragon Aspect Body... if this guy grew up, and if I didn't have the Fire God True Scripture you gave me, I might not have been able to beat him."
Shen Xuansheng put away the jade bottle and glanced at Fire God Son. "Don't worry. Even if he grows up, he won't be your match."
"After you leave, go to the Great Qin Dynasty. I will use Luck to reshape you once. At that time, even if you can't achieve a Breakthrough, you'll be able to take your strength a step further."
Flames ignited on Fire God Son's body. "Then I'll be leaving first."
