Chapter 197 - French Toast

"They actually destroyed the Kunlun mirror?" The stunning woman asked, dumbstruck with alarm.

But it was an ancient magical tool, unless the great ancient gods descended, who would have the ability to destroy it? Zong Yi's strength had far exceeded her estimation. She sent out her spiritual awareness to check Song Yufei's body and found that his internal organs had been thrown into disorder, and his Yuanying had suffered heavy damage, she sighed, "These medicinal pills are useless, we need to find a Nirvana Pill, a Recover Spirit Pill could also work."

She checked the medicine inventory in the loft and found that she only had enough to refine a Recover Spirit Pill, the Nirvana Pill was missing a few very rare and precious spiritual herbs, she said, "Go out and find these spiritual herbs, or your cultivation base will forever stay in Yuanying Qi. I was being thoughtless at that time, I shouldn't have made you give the Kunlun mirror to Fang Xinghai. If it was someone else, you wouldn't have been robbed."

Also, because she was afraid of Zong Yi, she had subconsciously always wanted the master and disciple to be killed off, but she hadn't expected the two's means to be so extraordinary, one could escape a siege of cultivators wanting to kill him, one could destroy an ancient magical tool in one shot.

Song Yufei had secret feelings for the woman buried in his heart, he quickly comforted, "It wasn't your fault, you never thought that Grand Elder would have the power to destroy the magic artifact." If he hadn't been so trusting of the magic artifact's power, he wouldn't have refined it into his life-bonded magic tool.

With the magic artifact protecting him, he should've been walking freely across Grand Heaven World.

What kind of monster was Grand Elder? He obviously had Dasheng Qi cultivation base, but it seemed as if even heaven wasn't worthy in his eyes.

Song Yufei disguised himself and left for the Treasure Pavilion to buy the spiritual herbs. The woman entered meditation to cultivate, but didn't notice the small black light sword hanging above her head.

At the Treasure Pavilion, Song Yufei took out a few not very eye-catching, but still very valuable spirit gems, intending to exchange them for the spiritual herbs. The druggist didn't dare slack off, he picked up the treasures and carefully looked them over. But at this time, the small black sword hanging above the woman's head finally moved, instantly slicing through the center of the women's Zifu, crushing her residual one immortal soul and one mortal soul.

There wasn't even enough time for the woman to scream before she dissipated into smoke and dust, then the prohibitions relying on her spiritual energy for support became useless. The jade pendant began pouring out the unique divine flavor of an ancient artifact, stunning the druggist. He stared intently, quickly understanding that this item was equally matched in brilliance with the Kunlun mirror.

"There's a priceless treasure here!"

"Where is it?"

"The second floor of the Spiritual Herb Pavilion!"

The cultivators with the ability to trade in the Treasure Pavilion were not ordinary, they didn't hesitate at the smell of a magic artifact, rushing into the Spiritual Herb Pavilion one after another.

Song Yufei completely didn't understand how this misfortune occurred, in only one breath, his jade pendant became exposed, and the stunning woman had silently retreated. He didn't dare act carelessly, he took out a Speed Talisman and rushed away from the Treasure Pavilion. If he didn't quickly escape, he would have a lot of explaining to do today.

The druggist was a Huashen Qi master, but he didn't obstruct him. The majority of the treasures coming into the Treasure Pavilion were ill-gotten, so naturally, killing a person for their treasure wasn't a taboo, however, it was against the rules to kill within the Treasure Pavilion's boundaries. Instead, he set down a Tracking Talisman, so it wouldn't be too late to chase when this person fled outside.

Therefore, Song Yufei successfully escaped the Treasure Pavilion, but the magic tool he had used to aid his escape had only exacerbated the cultivators' greed.

"What's wrong with you Fairy? Fairy, please talk to me!" Song Yufei urgently pleaded while fleeing for his life. As soon as he sneaked back into the Immortal Cave, he activated the concealment array, then sent out his spiritual awareness to search the jade pendant. He found that the woman had already disappeared, and the place where she habitually meditated was marred by deep sword marks, on top of all that, there was a residual trace of Shattered Heaven sword energy.

Song Yufei didn't dare believe it at first, then he roared himself hoarse, "Zong Yi, you and I, Song Yufei, can never exist simultaneously in this life!"

Even if he racked his brain, he couldn't think of a counterattack. Zong Yi had even somehow attacked and killed the Fairy. He hated him, but he was also afraid of him.

Since Fang Xinghai's incident, Song Yufei became the second target to be chased with intent to kill by the whole cultivation world. The news that he harbored an ancient magic artifact and many priceless treasures was brought back to the Promise Immortal Sect, making Chi Xiao Zhenren's soul grow instable, once again coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

So that's how it was, the one who looked the most innocent was the one who concealed the deepest. If he had known early, he would've killed him after his daughter had been irreparably damaged!

Although every sect had already agreed to jointly fight Zong Yi in order to get the Kunlun mirror, the suppression on Promise Immortal Sect had not lessened. Promise Immortal Sect's leaders had been slaughtered by Zong Yi, and the few remaining people were still poisoned by the Soul Melt Pill, Black Yin Pill, Devil Realm's poisonous malaria, Meteorite Fall Pill and the other poisonous pills Fang Xinghai had inflicted on them. Calling them 'Incurable' was not even a slight exaggeration.

As soon as those people fell, Promise Immortal Sect would face a deficit of manpower and resources, then wouldn't the other sects slaughter it? As Grand Heaven World's number one immortal sect, it deep heritage, so the other sects' envy had been festering for a long time.

Although some of the spies in the Devil Realm had brought back news saying that Zong Yi had long rejected and destroyed the magic artifact, these righteous sect people always used themselves to measure others. They thought that it was a fake message Zong Yi had spread in fear of being encircled and annihilated by the sect alliance, so they not only didn't believe it, they also ridiculed Zong Yi's irrational ravings.

How could you, a single Dasheng Qi cultivator, claim to have destroyed an ancient magic artifact? When did you become a great ancient god?

They assembled a large number of Huashen Qi masters and above and travelled to the Devil Realm. They also sent others to search heaven and below to kill the Song Yufei.

Song Yufei was now having a very bad day. Without the Fairy's seal, he simply couldn't restrain the jade pendant's breath, even under a concealment array, it would not be long before the other cultivators broke it and killed him.

He fled east and west, using every magic tool he could to help, but they only made the cultivators more determined to kill him. They'd never imagined that a mere Yuanying Qi cultivator would carry so much priceless treasures on his body, just by causally pulling out one of them, he would be able to set off monstrous waves in Grand Heaven World.

If you compared Fang Xinghai's luck to obtain the Kunlun mirror and Song Yufei's luck, Fang Xinghai's luck could only be described as 'so so'. Song Yufei's luck simply defied natural order!

So, the cultivators vowing to kill Song Yufei increased, spreading to almost every corner of Grand Heaven World. Song Yufei's serious injury had not yet healed, how was he their opponent? If he hadn't had numerous life-saving magic tools on hand, he would've long died. Today, he was blocked into a valley by thousands of cultivators, surrounded by layers upon layers of their killing arrays.

All the treasures on his body were seriously outnumbered, he feared that he wouldn't be able to escape today. He was filled with indignation, but also full of despair. Seeing all kinds of magical attacks aiming toward himself, he could only close his eyes and await death.

At this moment, a divine power dropped down from heaven, instantly killing all the surrounding cultivators. A handsome, imposing looking man tore open the space barrier, and directly approached Song Yufei.

"Where is Qiong Yu?" The man asked gravely.

"What?" Song Yufei gripped the jade pendant and stepped back.

"The master of the Devour Heaven Pendant, where is Fairy Qiong Yu?" The man asked again.

"She's dead. Who are you?" Song Yufei's heart meditated on the words 'Fairy Qiong Yu', realizing that it was the woman's name. Acquaintances for many years, he'd only obtained basic information about her from other people after her death, how regrettable.

"Dead?" The man stared blankly, shocked. He obviously couldn't associate that strange word with the Mysterious Immortal. It was Qiong Yu, the Qiong Yu who fought with all her might against numerous immortals in order to save him all those years ago, how could she fall in such an insignificant Large Thousand World? He couldn't believe it.

The man turned incorporeal and entered the jade pendant, searching for a long time before coming out, his complexion very ugly. He grinded his teeth while murmuring 'Shattered Heaven Sword', his enemy already confirmed.

He picked up Song Yufei and disappeared in place.

At the same time, Silent Fire Peak was surrounded by many righteous sect people. Since devil path cultivators have always been independent, they only watched from the sidelines, not moving to assist.

Zong Yi stood at the summit of Silent Fire Peak and slowly opened, "You want the Kunlun mirror? Take it." The words faded and he tossed the Kunlun mirror that was hanging on the cliff face into the dense crowd.

The multitude of cultivators all leapt in to snatch it, in the blink of an eye, they had already killed more than half of their allies. Eventually, a 5th Tribulation Loose Immortal from the Rise to Heaven Sect came out on top. He grabbed the Kunlun mirror and looked it over, then immediately exploded in overwhelming fury.

"Zong Yi, you actually destroyed the Kunlun mirror!" Is your brain fucking sick? The Loose Immortal almost couldn't hold back shouting the abuse.

The cultivators stared at it, unable to ignore the hole in the center of the Kunlun mirror even if they wanted to. The ancient magic artifact once flowing with bright divine power was now just a piece of broken bronze.

"I've been waiting for many days just to see the faces on you today. Amusing, very amusing!" Zhou Yun Sheng stood at the summit and clapped his hands, laughing heartily.

The devil cultivators spectating in the distance also burst into mocking laughter.

All the elders flushed red with anger, and without saying anything further, they attacked Silent Fire Peak. Since the Kunlun mirror had been destroyed, they could only kill Zong Yi and take possession of his Silent Fire Peak. For many years, Zong Yi had been able to move unhindered through the many realms, it could be assumed that the treasures in his hands wouldn't be less than the amount in Promise Immortal Sect's treasury. They had tens of thousands of experts on their side and Silent Fire Peak only had the master and disciple, they completely owned the numbers advantage.

However, before they reached the front, they realized how much they had ridiculously underestimated Zong Yi. Not to mention ten thousand masters, even if they added a hundred thousand, he could take them out singlehandedly. Numerous black light swords poured out from his whole body, almost completely obscuring the blue heavens and earth. The huge pressure dropped down from the sky, immediately knocking the Huashen Qi cultivators to the ground, incessantly vomiting blood.

The cultivators injured by his light swords were unable to mobilize their Yuanshen, and they also lost years of cultivated power, leaving them no choice but to withdraw in panic. However, his disciple used a very strange technique to suddenly appear behind these people, his five fingers shaped like claws. He plunged his claws into their internal organs, sucking their cultivation base dry.

In a few minutes, the foot of Silent Fire Peak was littered with a lot of empty skin sacks.

Zhou Yun Sheng absorbed hundreds of people, all of them Huashen Qi masters or above, their cultivation bases having been accumulated over unknown hundreds of years. He felt his own cultivation base rapidly soaring, by the end of this war, maybe he could directly cross over Huashen Qi and Heti Qi, breaking into the mighty Dujie Qi.

Zong Yi saw him happily drinking them dry and tried his best to keep them alive, even tossing a few half dead Dasheng cultivators and Loose Immortals at his feet with a flick of his sleeve for him to enjoy.

Such insidious actions, it filled the righteous sect cultivators with endless fear. One by one, more and more people thought to retreat, pulling out Speed Talismans to help them flee. The devil cultivators observing the battlefield were very opportunistic, they immediately picked out a few easy marks and gave chase.
