Chapter 685: 294. Celestial Master’s Robe Returns to the Mountain! (Chapter 10,300, Three-in-One)_7

However, a faintly glowing, illusory shadow condensed into the appearance of a young man—Gu Han—who floated out from amidst it.

It was his Nascent Soul.

Though gravely injured, Gu Han still struggled to fly out his Nascent Soul, hoping to escape to safety.

Regrettably, he didn’t even get a clear look at who attacked him before his Nascent Soul was hit by a rod again.

SNAP!

Gu Han’s equally heavily injured Nascent Soul, no longer resilient, was directly shattered on the spot by the bamboo rod flickering with purple and Golden Glow!

Lei Jun stood behind him, calmly retracting the Supreme Pure Jade Heavenly Immortal Bamboo in his hand, nodding slightly.

Not bad. The skills haven’t grown rusty.

To catch the one that had slipped away from the mountain earlier was also considered a gain.

Although he was within the earth veins, Lei Jun still skillfully used the power of the Dark Side of the Celestial Book to cleanse the ground, and then kicked Gu Han’s corpse into the torrential stream of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi.

He dusted off his shoes and continued on his way.

After walking for some time, a Nine-colored Radiance began to flicker around Lei Jun.

The two clues to the Celestial Master Robe he held were responding. The Celestial Master Robe was nearby!

Although it was later than anticipated, the last of the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures that had been lost had a chance to return to the mountain.

Safe in hand is truly obtained... Lei Jun calmed his emotions and followed the response towards the Celestial Master Robe.

After searching for a short while, he stopped and stared at the torrential Earth Vein Spiritual Qi stream.

Indeed, in the next moment, a Nine-colored Radiance moved along the current!

Unexpectedly, within the furious stream of Spiritual Energy, the Nine-colored Radiance was drifting extremely slowly and sluggishly, looking quite incongruous.

While Lei Jun was thoughtfully considering this, his hands moved swiftly, first intercepting the Nine-colored Radiance and seeking to scoop it up.

However, the Nine-colored Radiance seemed to sink into the Spiritual Qi flood. Lei Jun’s first attempt to lift it actually failed to bring it up.

Moving with the torrent, he peered closely and saw a Nine-Colored Robe floating and sinking amidst the radiance—it was indeed the Celestial Master Robe.

However, the Celestial Master Robe was currently entangled with several strands of faint Golden Glow, radiating with colorful streams, which seemed to be dragging it down.

Moving slower than expected towards Dragon Tiger Mountain might also be due to this reason... Lei Jun thought to himself.

He contemplated first seizing the Magical Treasure and examining it closely later when he had time, but suddenly sensed someone approaching from another direction.

With one sweep of the Mysterious Void Mirror, Hong Jie’s face, the Elder of Mount Shu Sect, appeared before him.

However, she currently did not have the North Abyss Divine Spear in her hand.

Hong Jie was bitterly troubled and had nowhere to voice her distress.

First, she faced an unexpectedly powerful opponent from the Ninth Heavenly Layer, Master Renzhu, and then she dealt with Zhang Dongyuan, who pursued her with the Blue Abyss Sword.

The result was injury upon injury.

She was forced to let go of the North Abyss Divine Spear in order to make an escape.

The good news was that Qingxiao Manor had disappeared without a trace along with the earth veins flow, beyond the reach of both Master Renzhu and Zhang Dongyuan.

The bad news was that the North Abyss Divine Spear had been taken back by Zhang Dongyuan.

Suppressing her injuries, Hong Jie had no choice but to head south to meet up with Gu Han.

Unexpectedly, she encountered treasure right in her path and saw the Celestial Master Robe.

Logically, the Celestial Master Robe should have been in the hands of the Western Region Buddhism. So why did it mysteriously appear here now? Then, what exactly happened at the Southern Wilderness back then?

Before Hong Jie could ponder deeply, she shockingly realized that another person had appeared along with the Celestial Master Robe, which was accompanied by the torrent of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi. Celestial Master Mansion, Lei Jun!

Hong Jie took a deep breath, and seven lampstands appeared around her, their lights clear and bright, illuminating the gloomy depths underground.

These were Hong Jie’s personal life-bound Magical Treasures and life-bound Magic Artifacts.

She was unlike Fu Dongsen, who crafted a variety of different Magical Treasures. Instead, she was similar to Chen Donglou. Since her early years in the Lower Three Heavens, she had crafted multiple interconnected artifacts and treasures of the same category.

Before this, she had been fully focused on controlling the North Abyss Divine Spear.

Having lost the Divine Spear, she then switched to using her life-bound Magical Treasures and Artifacts.

There should have been eight lampstands.

Unfortunately, one had been previously shattered by Zhang Dongyuan with the Blue Abyss Sword, causing injury to Hong Jie as well.

Now, she sent six of the lamps forward to intercept Lei Jun.

The remaining one stayed by her side, its light suddenly concentrating and growing brighter under the incessant operation of her Mana, ready for a more fierce outburst.

But at this moment, Hong Jie saw several spots of cold light suddenly emerge in front of Lei Jun. ...Seven-Star Sword?!

As Hong Jie recoiled in shock and surprise, a Flying Sword suddenly flashed and vanished on the spot.

Between them, Lei Jun had spotted her earlier and had started accumulating power before she did.

Beneath the agitation of the Primordial Magnet Force, the torrent of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi seemed to split open into waves.

The terrifying sword light arrived in front of Hong Jie in an instant.

Not only did the appearance of the Flying Sword exceed her expectations.

The speed of the Flying Sword also caught Hong Jie off guard.

In that instant, the first thought in her mind was whether there was anyone among the Mount Shu Sect cultivators at the First Level of the Eighth Heavenly Layer who could wield a sword so swiftly.

With her severe injuries, Hong Jie could no longer maintain the ability to traverse the Immortal Traversal Heavenly Sea and shuttle through the Void. Even the wonders of moving through the earth veins in the Immortal Travel Underworld Sea were limited.

The lampstands moved, trying to shield her and block the sword light.

Even if the life-bound Magic Artifact’s damage caused a ripple effect, it was still better than being directly struck by the Flying Sword.

Unfortunately, the sword light seemed to also traverse the Void, almost ignoring both space and time, passing by in an instant, not giving the lampstands time to intercept.

Hong Jie quickly dodged to the side, but the sword light still struck her left shoulder.

The body formed by her Immortal Soul crumbled on the spot, unable to maintain its human shape any longer.

The undulating Soul Sea was instantly burned away by half due to the terrifying sword light and its accompanying lightning fire.

The resilience of Hong Jie’s Immortal Soul, much stronger than Zheng Dongying’s and surpassing Wei Qiyue’s, fought against and suppressed the subsequent burning of the lightning fire left by the sword light’s pass.
