Chapter 560: 266. The third metamorphosis, Immortal Body! (Two-in-one Chapter)_3

The current inheritance of external cultivators within the Celestial Master Mansion comes from those who were in cahoots with the Li Clan back then. Their previous battle with the Li Clan was merely internal strife, a case of dog-eat-dog.

While the Li Clan has become history, it is likely that the Celestial Master Mansion will produce a second or even a third "Li Clan" in the future.

The so-called new Celestial Master, Tang Xiaotang, currently has neither spouse nor children, but who knows what the future holds?

If she were to marry and have descendants, even if Tang Xiaotang herself harbors no such intentions, what about her spouse and progeny?

What about the other top experts in the Celestial Master Mansion, like Xu Yuanzhen or Lei Jun?

After the Li Clan, could the Tang or Lei Family be next?

Unfortunately, with such an abundance of talented individuals and a new generation of experts continually emerging within the Celestial Master Mansion, the Yellow Sky Sect’s own ranks suffer from factionalism. This made Kang Ming, despite his resolute will, feel a sense of helplessness as he beheld the formidable Lei Jun.

"New life... How difficult it is," Kang Ming sighed softly, but his gaze quickly regained its steadfastness.

Despite the precarious situation, at least he would not change his allegiance.

With the Ancestral Altar destroyed, Kang Ming did not linger and promptly left.

The current whereabouts of Taoist Taiping and Zhao Zongjie were unknown.

On the mainland, the Yellow Sky Sect still had several branch altars scattered throughout various lands. These were the foundations of the Yellow Sky Sect.

Currently sealed by the Talisman Scriptures, chaos is inevitable, and everyone feels at risk.

After regaining his composure, Kang Ming pondered silently for a moment. He decided to leave this marine area first and strive to return to land as soon as possible before making further plans.

「...」

When Shangguan Sheng discovered Qi Shuo’s appearance, he turned back to look for him and coincidentally encountered Lei Jun.

Chu Yu and Elder Miaoyi from Tianlong Temple, on the other hand, were single-mindedly pursuing Zhou Peng, who was at the Eightfold Heaven Realm.

After sensing some activity from Jiu Fang Island and knowing Xu Yuanzhen had succeeded, Chu Yu and Elder Miaoyi were able to let go of their concerns and relentlessly pursued Zhou Peng.

With Chu Yu alone, Zhou Peng was already under immense pressure. With Elder Miaoyi at his side, his chances of escape grew increasingly slim.

Just as Zhou Peng was about to be completely surrounded, a streak of light suddenly raced from a distance, its sharpness evident.

Although Elder Miaoyi was surprised, the Azure Lion transformed from Buddha’s light promptly blocked in front of him to ward off the attack.

However, the light was exceptionally sharp. It was a full-strength attack, accumulated over a long time, and even the Azure Lion transformed from Buddha’s light could not withstand it and was immediately wounded.

Elder Miaoyi quickly dodged. Zhou Peng seized this opportunity to break through. He endured an arrow from Chu Yu; his Nascent Soul trembled in mid-air, but he still persisted in fleeing into the distance.

"Mount Shu’s Flying Swords?" Chu Yu’s eyes glinted as she observed the scene.

After the sword light’s initial strike, its speed slowed slightly, revealing a cold blade enveloped in white radiance.

After the attack, the Flying Sword turned in mid-air and then slashed towards Chu Yu, aiming to stop her from pursuing Zhou Peng.

Chu Yu remained unflustered by the sudden change. The light in her eyes seemed to condense into a beam extending far into the distance.

She nocked an arrow to her bow, her Confucian Divine Archery gathering Qi into a piercing point of light.

TWANG! With a sound from the bowstring, three rays of light shot out simultaneously!

The secret ancestral technique of the Suzhou Chu Clan: Tao Sea Threen Questions!

One arrow struck the Flying Sword in mid-air, shooting it down on the spot.

Another arrow chased after the fleeing Zhou Peng.

The third arrow sped even farther, straight towards the source of the Flying Sword!

Far out on the sea, a man appeared. He looked young, dressed in hemp clothing in the style of a Mount Shu Taoist. Though youthful in appearance, his eyes carried a profound, ancient depth.

Seeing the glittering arrow rushing towards him, his expression changed instantly. He hurriedly summoned his Lifebound Magic Treasure, a Flying Sword, to defend himself.

The sword and arrow collided in mid-air, exploding in a dazzling burst of light.

The Mount Shu Taoist’s body swayed.

A Daoist Artifact Refining Sect Cultivator of his realm had long since shed their mortal shell, no longer possessing a body of flesh and blood.

His current youthful appearance was a manifestation of his Spiritual Soul.

Under the impact, his figure rippled like water, almost losing its human form. It only re-solidified after several fluctuations.

The Mount Shu Taoist steadied himself, then turned and fled.

"Liu Dongzhuo? Is it you?" Chu Yu’s voice carried far and wide, resonating in all directions.

The Taoist was indeed a Daoist Artifact Refining Sect Cultivator from the same generation as Ji Dongquan and He Dongxing. Though he looked young, he was, in reality, a Shu Mountain Elder, renowned for many years.

To be precise, a former Elder.

According to official reports, Elder Liu had perished in the Mount Shu internal strife over a decade ago!

Yet here he was, very much alive.

Moreover, as a Daoist Artifact Refining Sect Cultivator, he was aiding Zhou Peng, a disciple of the Taoist Dan Ding Sect, in a conflict concerning the Taoist Talisman Sect’s Yellow Sky Sect.

Such a display of unity and mutual support among the three branches of the Taoist Sect was truly rare—if only their respective identities weren’t all so awkward.

If he had a choice, Liu Dongzhuo would not have wanted to reveal his presence in this manner, especially not to an expert like Chu Yu.

With his Seventh Heavenly Layer cultivation, if he had time to carefully prepare and accumulate power, he could deliver an aerial sword strike—without using his Lifebound Magical Artifacts or Magical Treasures—that would force even Elder Miaoyi of the same realm to block cautiously.

But against Chu Yu, who was at the Eighth Heavenly Layer, ordinary Magic Artifacts were completely inadequate. Having lost the advantage of a prepared ambush, Chu Yu’s three simultaneous arrows not only shot down his Magical Sword but also threatened Liu Dongzhuo himself from afar.

Confronting Chu Yu’s arrows, Liu Dongzhuo dared not be careless. Only by using his Lifebound Magic Treasure could he barely fend off that one arrow. Even so, the Magical Sword still trembled unceasingly in mid-air.

Even though the contact with the opponent’s Lifebound Magic Treasure occurred at such a great distance that he was invisible to the naked eye, Chu Yu still successfully identified him as the Shushan Elder who was supposed to be dead.
