Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Because of this aura.

The Yin Cicada King, which had just emerged, retreated back into the sea cliff.

Only a few ripples remain.

"Who is coming?"

"You ruined our plans!"

Ma Ze looked up with an unfriendly expression and shouted a question.

This little world of Yin Spring was clearly discovered by him first.

Why are there outsiders here?

Zhang Yan suppressed his surging magical power and looked in the direction of the sound.

There were nine people in total, eight women and one man. The man in the lead had a delicate appearance and did not have a masculine demeanor.

Zhang Yan glanced at it and felt disgusted, taking half a step back.

The man also noticed Zhang Yan's actions, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

However, the man's gaze only swept over Zhang Yan.

Upon realizing that Zhang Yan was only at the peak of the Golden Core stage, he disdainfully looked away.

"Junior Brother Ma."

"What a coincidence, to run into you here."

The man looked at Ma Ze and exchanged pleasantries with a smile.

"So that's how it is."

"Senior Brother Yue Ping from Divine Phoenix Valley."

Ma Ze recognized the person and responded with a cupped-hand salute.

It depends on the situation.

The two clearly know each other.

"Senior Brother Yue Ping."

How did you end up here?

After exchanging pleasantries, Ma Ze invited Yue Ping and the others to his side and asked them questions.

"What a coincidence."

"I've received the news."

“A drop of Vermilion Bird’s spiritual blood was once left behind around this small world.”

“I have been searching in this area for decades.”

"I only recently learned about the existence of a small world called Yin Spring, so I came to try my luck."

"And it actually happened to me. After sensing the aura of the spiritual blood, we rushed over immediately."

Yue Ping covered his mouth and explained with a smile.

"That's how it is."

Ma Ze nodded, but then glanced at Zhang Yan.

Although Zhang Yan was referring to the origin of the Vermilion Bird.

But the current situation is quite clear.

The essence of the Vermilion Bird is its spiritual blood.

Zhang Yan and Yue Ping both wanted the same thing.

This is a bit difficult to handle.

Ma Ze thought about it again. Yue Ping was a famous prodigy among the disciples of the Divine Phoenix Valley.

He is known as one of the eight phoenix chicks of Shenhuang Valley.

He was on good terms with Ma Ze's senior, which is how the two met.

Compared to Zhang Yan.

Yue Ping's cultivation level is higher; he is now at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

He has a record of killing late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, demonstrating astonishing strength.

As for their status, they are slightly inferior.

However, the overall strength of Divine Phoenix Valley is comparable to that of Corpse Demon Skull Mountain, and it is much stronger than Divine Weapon Pavilion.

This way.

Maze made his choice.

"Brother Yueping has arrived just in time."

"Senior brother also saw that strange beast just now."

"He is called the Yin Cicada King and has strength approaching that of the late Nascent Soul stage."

“I noticed something unusual about his body. The Vermilion Bird Spirit Blood that my senior brother needs should be inside him.”

"Now that you're here, senior brother, why don't you join forces with me? I want the corpse of the Yin Cicada King, and the Yin Spring."

"Senior brother, if you take the Vermilion Bird's spiritual blood, it'll be a win-win situation for both of us, shall we?"

Ma Ze rubbed his hands together and said to Yue Ping with a forced smile.

It's also a collaboration.

The same allocation method.

Yue Ping is more powerful, so it's definitely more worthwhile to cooperate with him.

"Junior Brother Ma is so thoughtful!"

"Just as Junior Brother Ma has said."

"After it's done, I'll give Junior Brother Ma some benefits."

Upon hearing this, Yue Ping's eyes lit up, and he was very satisfied with Ma Ze's allocation method.

But this time.

Zhang Yan on the other side of the sea cliff.

His brows were already deeply furrowed.

This allocation method was clearly agreed upon by him and Ma Ze.

Now that Yue Ping has arrived, Ma Ze has kicked him right away. Where can he go to reason with him?

"Junior Brother Ma."

"Who is this?"

After a long conversation, Yue Ping turned to Zhang Yan and asked a question.

"This is the personal disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang Yan."

"He is my junior brother, invited by Yang Lianqing."

Ma Ze explained.

"Oh?"

"It is actually the disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master in person. My apologies for my disrespect."

When Yue Ping learned of Zhang Yan's identity, a look of surprise appeared on his face, but in his words, he didn't take Zhang Yan seriously at all.

“The disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master.”

"Only at the peak of the Golden Core stage?"

"It seems that the Divine Weapon Pavilion is declining more and more..."

Before Yue Ping could finish speaking, his pretty junior sister Xu said disdainfully.

Junior Sister Xu didn't finish her sentence.

hum!
An astonishing sword aura of fiery energy, a hundred meters in size, swept across the sky and cleaved down!

The originally cold air became extremely hot.

The true meaning of the Fire within is terrifying beyond measure, like a volcanic eruption, unstoppable!
"what!"

The junior sister Xu turned pale instantly and screamed.

"You dare to belittle my Divine Weapon Pavilion?"

A sword aura swept across the sky, followed by Zhang Yan's icy voice.

"What a magnificent peak Golden Core cultivator!"

The faces of everyone in Divine Phoenix Valley changed upon seeing this sword strike.

Zhang Yan only possessed the aura of the peak Golden Core stage.

But this sword.

Enough to kill someone in the early Nascent Soul stage!

After all, she was his junior sister; Yue Ping couldn't just stand by and watch the sword fall.

Yue Ping waved his right hand.

A bright red feather shot out like lightning.

when!
A surge of magical power emanated from the feathers, dimming their light and annihilating Zhang Yan's sword energy.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"My junior sister is just straightforward."

Why get so angry?

Yue Ping retracted the red feather and said with a light laugh.

"My Divine Weapon Pavilion."

"After all, it is one of the five great immortal sects."

"How dare she, a mere disciple, speak such nonsense?"

Zhang Yan gripped the Vermilion Bird Fire Sword, ready to unleash another strike at any moment.

"I apologize!"

"I would never dare to belittle the Divine Weapon Pavilion again!"

The junior sister Xu trembled under Zhang Yan's gaze and quickly apologized.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"Junior Sister Xu has already apologized."

Let's leave this matter here.

Yue Ping reached out to shield his junior sister behind him and said to Zhang Yan.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"This person is one of the eight phoenix chicks of the Divine Phoenix Valley in this generation."

"His status is equivalent to that of a disciple of the Valley Master of Divine Phoenix Valley."

Yang Lianqing appeared beside Zhang Yan at some point and whispered a reminder in his ear.

Zhang Yan was someone he invited.

He didn't want Zhang Yan to offend Shenhuang Valley because of this.

"Humph!"

Zhang Yan snorted coldly, offering no reply, but did not make another move.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Junior Sister Xu looked at Yue Ping gratefully, not daring to look at Zhang Yan again.

But they also found out.

Zhang Yan's strength.

Yue Ping's ability to kill a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with his mid-stage Nascent Soul strength, fighting across a minor realm, is already astonishing.

Zhang Yan, on the other hand, was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, yet he displayed the combat power of someone in the early Nascent Soul stage.

This is a leap forward, a whole new level!

Simply incredible!

"No wonder he became one."

"Disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Master".

"The Divine Weapon Pavilion has struck gold."

Yue Ping's eyes flickered as he murmured.

Zhang Yan's talent surpasses even that of the top of the eight phoenix chicks of Divine Phoenix Valley.

The good news is that Zhang Yan has not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

No matter how talented someone is, if they don't grow into a true prodigy, they are not a genius.

"Junior Sister Xu."

"Your senior brother will avenge you."

"The sword in Zhang Yan's hand has the aura of the Vermilion Bird."

"Zhang Yan and Ma Ze were gathered here together just now, they must also be eyeing the Vermilion Bird Spirit Blood."

"Senior brother took the Vermilion Bird Spirit Blood right in front of him, to help you vent your anger!"

Seeing that Junior Sister Xu was still somewhat shaken, Yue Ping suddenly smiled and said in a deep voice.

"My senior brother is still the best to me!"

Upon hearing this, Junior Sister Xu immediately beamed with joy.

"that is!"

"However, they do possess some strength."

"You just want to bully our junior sister!"

The other junior sisters chimed in with coquettish laughter.

"Junior Brother Ma."

"let us start."

After calming his junior sister down, Yue Ping prepared to fight Ma Ze.

"Please, Senior Brother Yue!"

With a broad smile, Ma Ze once again took out that piece of foul-smelling flesh.

At the same time, he also said to Zhang Yan:
"Junior Brother Zhang."

"I'm sorry!"

"Once the Yin Cicada King is defeated, I will use the spirit crystals from the Yin Spring to compensate Fellow Daoist Zhang!"

Although I chose to cooperate with Yue Ping.

But Zhang Yan still had some friendship with him.

In Ma Ze's eyes, giving Zhang Yan some spirit crystals was a way of repaying the kindness he had shown in saving the disciples of Corpse Ghost Skull Mountain.

Anyway, Zhang Yan isn't contributing anything now.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang."

“Yue Ping has a relationship with our senior brother.”

"Brother Ma, it's not good to offend Yue Ping."

Yang Lianqing stood before Zhang Yan, speaking bitterly to himself.

He originally invited Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan displayed his strength and, together with Ma Ze, killed the Yin Chan King.

Both sides can achieve a win-win situation.

As a result, Yue Ping intervened, leaving the weak and outnumbered Zhang Yan with no choice but to suffer injustice.

"Lian Qing."

"This is none of your business."

"I have my own sense of proportion."

Zhang Yan replied calmly.

Yang Lianqing was just an ordinary disciple at Corpse Demon Skull Mountain.

How could that be? Interfering with Maze's thoughts.

Therefore, Zhang Yan did not blame Yang Lianqing.

but.

I wanted him to give up.

impossible!
"It all comes down to it."

"It's still about who has the bigger fist!"

A chilling glint flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes.

He broke through to the peak of the Golden Core stage and now wields two swords.

If used, the Four Directions Annihilation Sword.

He was confident that he could suppress Yue Ping and Ma Ze!

Since they're all eager to deal with the Yin Chan King, let them go.

Zhang Yan hid in the shadows.

On the contrary, it's easier to make a move.

Wow!
Zhang Yan remained calm, but the Yin Cicada King, attracted by the rotting flesh, leaped out of the water once more!
hiss!
The Yin Chan King's eyes were bloodshot, filled with boundless rage.

These days, it's one thing for its offspring to be killed.

These people actually dared to provoke it time and time again!
The Yin Cicada King appeared, its mouth wide open, and white flames immediately surged from within.

If you haven't seen it with your own eyes.

It's hard to imagine that there could be a creature that could swallow the fire.

"It really is the aura of the Blazing Fire!"

"That Vermilion Bird's spiritual blood must be inside this Yin Cicada King!"

Yue Ping finally confirmed the whereabouts of the Vermilion Bird's Spirit Blood, and his face was full of joy.

Although he was one of the Eight Phoenix Chicks.

However, it ranks eighth among them.

If one can obtain the Vermilion Bird's spiritual blood and comprehend the true meaning of the Blazing Fire.

He might be able to compete with the top three!
"Senior Brother Yue."

"Now's the time! Let's attack together!"

Ma Ze wanted to curry favor, so he called on Yue Ping to help.

He himself first took out a giant bone claw pieced together from sections of white bones, exuding the aura of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Powerful magical energy was continuously poured into it.

Behind him, a faint phantom of a nascent soul appeared, and beneath the nascent soul, there were six layers of lotus platforms.

With the infusion of magical power from the sixth-stage Nascent Soul.

The power of heaven and earth was drawn in and attached to the bone claw, which then reached for the Yin Cicada King.

“This Ma Ze.”

"Too many tricks up your sleeve."

Zhang Yan watched this scene and thought to himself.

When he and Ma Ze joined forces just now, Ma Ze didn't take out this White Bone Claw.

But now, they've joined forces with Yue Ping.

He took it out without hesitation.

This is clearly discriminatory treatment.

In this way, Zhang Yan felt even more justified in taking action.

call out!
Yue Ping also wanted to obtain the Vermilion Bird's spiritual blood as soon as possible. With a wave of his hand, four red feathers shot out, heading towards the wings on the back of the Yin Cicada King.

hiss!
The Yin Chan King roared, its two eyes locked onto the two of them.

In front of his body, four scythes gathered a massive amount of Yin energy and slashed out simultaneously.

Four deep blue blades of light swept across the sky, slashing towards the two of them.

When traversing the void.

Each pair of blades overlaps with the other.

Finally, two blades of light remained, exuding the powerful fluctuations of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, slashing towards the two with an overwhelming momentum!
"This Yin Cicada King is extraordinary!"

Yue Ping's expression changed slightly, and he immediately switched from offense to defense.

Four red feathers, one end to the other, pointed directly at that blade of light!
when!
The leader, Red Feather, clashed with the blade light and remained locked in a stalemate for a moment. Its fire elemental power was severely depleted by the yin energy, and then its true form was revealed.

Stab it!

Then the fiery feather shattered and drifted away in the wind, its Daoist essence dissipating.

Fortunately, the power of the blade light was almost gone.

It was blocked by the second red feather.

"My phoenix feather!"

Yue Ping's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and shouted.

This phoenix feather came from a fourth-tier peak demon beast and had been refined by him for many years.

Now that he has lost so much land, his heart is bleeding!

Click!

Not only Yue Ping, but Ma Ze's giant bone claw was also cut in half by the blade light.

Wow!
The blade's light dissipated, transforming into yin energy that swept across the sky.

"what!"

The female cultivators from Divine Phoenix Valley screamed and retreated.

Unable to withstand the fiery flames, the Yin Cicada King returned to the Yin Spring once more.

"Damn it!"

Yue Ping stared at the rippling water, his face grim.

Before even obtaining the Vermilion Bird's Blood, I've already lost a piece of my natal Phoenix Feather.

It’s a waste of blood!
"interesting."

On the other side, Zhang Yan stood with his arms crossed, calmly watching the show.

"You can still laugh!"

Yue Ping noticed Zhang Yan, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

"Junior Brother Ma."

"Stop testing us."

"This Yin Cicada King is, after all, a beast that was once at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

"We've all pulled out all the stops; one strike is all it takes to kill!"

Yue Ping took a deep breath and said to Ma Ze.

Simultaneously.

His palms pulsated with magical power.

Four more red phoenix feathers appeared, making a total of seven, hovering around him.

Behind him, a nascent soul manifested.

With a total of seven lotus platforms and seven Nascent Soul cultivators, Yue Ping, who could become one of the eight phoenix chicks of Divine Phoenix Valley, must have some real skills.

Unfortunately.

I was careless earlier and lost a piece of my natal phoenix feather.

"We can't let our senior brother do all the work."

Ma Ze gritted his teeth and took out three silver-white incense sticks from his storage bag.

Seeing his pained expression, it seemed that these three incense sticks were as precious as his life.

"Senior Brother Yue."

"These three strands of marrow saliva incense."

"It can make the Yin Chan King lose his mind for a moment."

"Take this opportunity to strike!"

Ma Ze reminded Yue Ping and immediately lit three silver incense sticks.

Then, the rotten flesh reappeared.

Wow!
The raging Yin Cicada King leaped out of the Yin Spring once more!
But this time, the three incense sticks turned into silver smoke and merged into the body of the Yin Cicada King.

Even the thick, blue crystal armor couldn't stop it.

The Yin Chan King's gaze became blank, and its wings stopped flapping, freezing in mid-air.

"Junior Brother Ma, well done!"

Yue Ping was overjoyed, and the seven red feathers in his hand shot out explosively! (End of this chapter)
