252: Rescue the Holy Mother and confront the Xuan Tian Treasure head-on!

[Blue Intelligence: The Great Evolution Ancestor primarily cultivates the Dao of Curses, and his Physical Body is relatively weak.

Although the seven arrows book of nailing heads is powerful, before it can be activated, one must know the enemy's Eight Characters of Birth or possess an aura medium, and it requires time to cast.

The Primal Ancestor's Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger requires a specific incantation to be recited before it is unleashed, resulting in a brief casting wind-up.

If one can seize this momentary flaw, it can be countered.]

After reading the intelligence, Lu Yuan's eyes flickered uncertainly, and a cold, grim smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"The Primal Ancestor, the Great Evolution Ancestor... those two old foxes certainly know how to scheme."

Between him and the Yaochi Holy Mother, there was not only an alliance but also countless intricate connections.

The Jade Pool Saintess, Luo Lianyi, was now his woman.

For these two to plot against the Jade Pool was no different from provoking the Tai Sui.

"Since you're seeking death, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lu Yuan rose abruptly, his figure blurring as he tore through the Void Realm and vanished from the main hall... Deep within the Nine Nether Demon Cave.

Devilish Qi surged here, and the space was extremely unstable.

Within a temporarily created independent space, three figures sat cross-legged in a triangular formation.

In the very center was the Yaochi Holy Mother, dressed in white with a cold and noble temperament.

To her left and right sat an old man in an Eight Trigrams Daoist robe and a middle-aged man in a Starry Feather Robe, respectively.

The old man in the Eight Trigrams robe had a sinister face; he was the Void Immortal Ancestor of the Great Evolution Holy Land, the Great Evolution Ancestor.

The man in the Starry Feather Robe had a vast aura; he was the Void Immortal Ancestor of the Primordial Holy Land, the Primal Ancestor.

The three were discussing how to reinforce the Seal to prevent the aura of the Foreign Realm from leaking out.

Suddenly.

"Pfft—!"

Without any warning, the Yaochi Holy Mother spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood was not crimson but a bizarre jet-black, and it actually made a hissing, corrosive sound as it hit the ground.

Her face instantly turned as pale as paper, and her originally perfect and flawless Void Immortal aura suddenly became chaotic, as if an invisible force was frantically eroding her life force and magic power.

"This... is a curse?!"

The Yaochi Holy Mother's beautiful eyes widened as she instantly realized what was happening.

She snapped her gaze toward the Great Evolution Ancestor on her left, her eyes filled with disbelief and anger: "Great Evolution! You dare to plot against me?!"

At this moment, she felt as if the Void Immortal magic power in her body had been filled with lead, making it extremely sluggish to mobilize, and even her Divine Soul felt waves of needle-like pain.

This was precisely the curse power of the seven arrows book of nailing heads!

"Jie jie jie... Jade Pool, don't blame us for being heartless."

The Great Evolution Ancestor laughed sinisterly, toying with a black scroll that emitted an ominous aura: "If you want to blame someone, blame your Yaochi Holy Land for being too ostentatious.

With the nine marvels undying medicine bringing someone back to life, the Jade Pool's Luck has surged, and that makes us very uneasy."

"Indeed."

On the other side, the Primal Ancestor also revealed his ferocious fangs. He held a red gourd in his hand and muttered incantations: "The Jade Pool has held the title of the Central Region's number one Holy Land for too long. It's time for a change. Today, you shall stay here!"

"Please turn around, treasure!"

As the Primal Ancestor's final incantation fell.

"Shoo—!"

A white light burst from the mouth of the red gourd.

Within the white light, a flying dagger with eyes and eyebrows could be vaguely seen. It carried a sky-piercing Killing Intent, as if it could sever all life force and Karma in the world.

The Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger!

The flying dagger's speed was extreme, nearly ignoring the distance of space as it shot straight for the Yaochi Holy Mother's neck.

Currently afflicted by the curse and unable to circulate her magic power properly, the Yaochi Holy Mother found herself unable to evade this fatal blow. She could only watch as the dagger approached, a flash of despair in her eyes.

At this critical juncture.

"Chila—!"

Space was torn apart by a pair of large hands like a piece of cloth.

A figure in white stepped out, shielding the Yaochi Holy Mother.

"As two long-renowned Void Immortals, teaming up to sneak attack a fellow cultivator is a bit disgraceful, don't you think?"

Lu Yuan's voice was indifferent and calm, yet it exploded within the space like a clap of thunder.

Facing the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger that was capable of slaying a True Immortal, he neither dodged nor avoided it. He didn't even manifest any Magic Treasure, simply extending two fingers.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out.

That terrifying dagger, said to be able to slay immortals and gods, was actually caught firmly between Lu Yuan's two fingers!

"What?!"

The Primal Ancestor's pupils constricted violently as he cried out in shock.

How is this possible?! This is the profound heaven treasure, the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger! It can easily sever even a Void Immortal's body, so how could it be caught barehanded?!

"Fellow Daoist Lu?! Be careful!" Behind him, the Yaochi Holy Mother also cried out, both surprised and worried.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

The caught Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger vibrated frantically, erupting with dazzling immortal light. Waves of terrifying power meant to slay immortals and gods surged out like a tide, attempting to slice through Lu Yuan's fingers.

"Hmph."

Lu Yuan snorted coldly, and the three hundred million dragon-elephant particles within his body vibrated in unison.

"Pure Land of All Gods!"

A faint golden glow blossomed at his fingertips—sacred, solemn, and eternal.

Within this pure land, all techniques were repelled, and all evils retreated.

No matter how the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger erupted, as soon as its terrifying power touched the golden glow, it was like a clay ox entering the sea. It was even converted into Lu Yuan's own power, which in turn suppressed the dagger.

"This... what kind of Divine Ability is this?!"

The Primal Ancestor and the Great Evolution Ancestor watched in stunned silence, their scalps tingling.

They had never seen such a domineering defensive method that could ignore the attack of a profound heaven treasure!

As the pressure from Lu Yuan's fingertips increased, the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger let out a shrill wail. Its originally brilliant light dimmed instantly, and it trembled as if it had met its natural enemy.

"This blade is quite good. It's mine now!"

With a casual toss, the myriad things mother qi cauldron appeared out of thin air. Its mouth opened wide, swallowing the Immortal Slaying Flying Dagger and forcibly suppressing it.

"My treasure!" The Primal Ancestor's heart bled with pain, yet he didn't dare step forward to reclaim it.

Because at this moment, Lu Yuan gave him an incredibly dangerous feeling.

"Lu Yuan?! You're that Ancestor Qingyun?!" The Great Evolution Ancestor also recognized the newcomer, his face darkening until it looked like it could drip water.

Although he had long heard of Lu Yuan's fierce reputation, he had always thought it was just an exaggeration. After all, how strong could someone at the Great Ascension Stage be? But seeing him today, this was no Great Ascension Stage; this was clearly a Primeval Fierce Beast in human skin!

"Since you're here, then die together!"

A ruthless glint flashed in the Great Evolution Ancestor's eyes as he flipped through the seven arrows book of nailing heads again.

At such close range, there was no need for many mediums; as long as the aura was locked on, the curse could be launched.

"Seven Arrows Soul Snatching, Curse Kill!"
