Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 515 The Order of Guanghan

Although there were quite a few Void Refinement level beings, given Nie Zhaonan's current strength, he naturally wouldn't take them seriously and would silently continue watching the battle.

After the big-headed monster appeared, it did not immediately attack, but instead spoke slowly to the Crystal Clan:

"Fellow Daoist Wen, I've heard that you've reached the ninth level of the Upper Clan in less than ten thousand years. Such cultivation talent might not be considered top-tier in my Horned Chi Clan, but for your Crystal Clan, it's a genius rarely seen throughout history. When we came out, several elders of our clan specifically mentioned your name, praising your achievements in weapon crafting. They even said that if you were willing to submit to my Horned Chi Clan, the elders would spare no expense to give you a blood transfusion and marrow cleansing, which would further enhance your talent. Furthermore, if you have a great opportunity, becoming a Saint-level being is not impossible."

"I have no interest in submitting to the Horned Chi Clan. As you know, I am a genius of the Crystal Clan, with a bright future ahead of me, so why should I serve you? Moreover, the elders of my clan have treated me extremely well. My rapid cultivation speed is partly due to my good aptitude, but more importantly, it is due to the help I have received from the elders. I will not betray the Crystal Clan." The Crystal Clan woman paused for a moment, then shook her head expressionlessly.

She knew perfectly well that the reason the Horned Chi Clan was trying to win her over was only a small part of the reason she was a genius from the Crystal Clan.

More information concerns the hidden secrets of the thirteen clans of Tianyun in the future.

As for the most important purpose, it was to obtain the Guanghan Token from her.

The reason why the big-headed monster was so polite was because of the Guanghan Decree.

“Fellow Daoist Wen, do you think the three of you still have a chance to escape this place? Even if the two Qing Clan fellow Daoists beside you can hold off one more being of the same level, that’s all. You have no chance of winning. You should just surrender, hand over the Guanghan Token, and submit to our Jiao Chi Clan. That would be the best choice.”

Upon hearing the term "Guanghan Order," Nie Zhaonan's spirits instantly lifted.

But at that moment, a middle-aged man from the Azure Clan standing next to the Crystal Clan woman suddenly spoke, his voice exceptionally clear:

"Fellow Daoist below, I am Qing Lingzi of the Qing Clan! If you are willing to lend a helping hand, the three of us will return to our clan and offer you the Myriad Wonders Pill as our thanks! The Myriad Wonders Pill is an excellent auxiliary pill for cultivators at the Refining Void stage who are trying to break through to the Integration stage. It also has the effect of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the tendons and muscles, and improving physical constitution. Only the Grandmaster-level alchemists of the Crystal Clan can refine it."

The middle-aged man from the Qing clan did not use the technique of transmitting sound. Instead, he mixed some spiritual power into his voice, so that people within several miles could hear it clearly!
The big-headed monster was startled and immediately looked down at a small, empty hill.

The others also turned their gazes in that direction, their faces showing varying degrees of surprise and doubt.

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhaonan was first taken aback, then felt somewhat displeased.

These Qing people are utterly unreasonable. Before the terms were even agreed upon, they exposed their whereabouts in public. They clearly had no good intentions and were trying to drag them into this mess.

However, since things had come to this point, Nie Zhaonan naturally had no intention of concealing his presence any longer, and reached out to make a gesture in the void.

After a silent ripple in the void, a dusty gray brocade handkerchief flashed into existence and was immediately put away by Nie Zhaonan.

This treasure is called 'Thousand Silk Handkerchief'. It was one of the spoils of war in the battle against the Sea King Clan's Mahayana cultivators. It is a peculiar treasure that can completely conceal one's form and evade divine sense detection. It is extremely miraculous. Nie Zhaonan used this treasure to conceal his form earlier.

As the 'Thousand Silk Handkerchief' appeared, Nie Zhaonan and his companions, a group of more than ten people, naturally came into the view of the cultivators present.

Nie Zhaonan was naturally not afraid of anything, and slowly rose into the air with his group of Daoist companions.

"Human cultivators! And all of them are at least at the seventh level of the Upper Race, no, there's even one at the sixth level of the Upper Race." The big-headed monster stared at Nie Zhaonan and his group, and suddenly said something.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin couldn't help but snort angrily.

Because they were going to enter the Guanghan Realm, Nie Zhaonan, Yue Li, and Yin Yue, who originally possessed the Integration Realm, naturally suppressed their cultivation to the level of the ninth rank of the Upper Clan in order to avoid attracting attention.

Ever since his true identity was recognized at a glance by the Mahayana cultivator of the Sea King Clan, and he became alert, Nie Zhaonan's current appearance has been transformed by magic. Fortunately, his divine sense is as strong as that of an ordinary Mahayana cultivator, and even a simple disguise is enough to make even a Nascent Soul cultivator unable to see through it.

"So you are a fellow Daoist from the human race. I have long heard of the great name of Daoist Nie Zhaonan among the nobles. It is a pity that we are from two different continents, separated by a vast ocean, and have never met." The Crystal Clan woman suddenly said to Nie Zhaonan with a hint of respect.

"Hmph, fellow Daoist, your words are not what they seem." Nie Zhaonan glanced at the Crystal Clan woman, then looked at the middle-aged Qing Clan man who had revealed his whereabouts, and asked directly:

"How did you discover that we were down there? I believe that the concealment technique of the Thousand Silk Scarf is extremely profound, and even a Nascent Soul cultivator could not see through it."

The middle-aged man from the Qing ethnic group forced a smile and explained:
"With my limited cultivation, how could I possibly have discovered anything? The reason I discovered your trail is entirely due to the unique secret technique created by my Qing Clan—'Concentration and Unity Technique'!"

"This technique is incredibly strange and wondrous. It can merge the bodies of several people into one, causing the caster's spiritual power to surge. However, cultivating this technique is extremely demanding. Not only do you need brothers of the same bloodline, but the cultivation methods and realms must also be similar in order to successfully cultivate this technique. The reason I was able to discover your whereabouts earlier was because my brother and I used this secret technique."

However, this middle-aged man from the Qing clan never expected that so many powerful beings from the upper clans were hidden on that small hilltop.

"I see." Nie Zhaonan looked at the two Qing clan brothers who looked exactly alike again, then looked away.

Seeing that Nie Zhaonan had nothing more to say, the Crystal Clan woman couldn't help but say:
"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, my Crystal Clan will definitely keep our promise. Although the Myriad Wonders Pill is precious, we can still offer one as a reward."

Before Nie Zhaonan could reply, the large-headed monster from the Horned Chi tribe suddenly spoke:

"Fellow Daoists of the human race, are you sure you want to be enemies with my Horned Chi Clan? My Horned Chi Clan is a super power that ranks high in the Spirit Realm, while the human race is just a small clan that occupies a corner. My clan can easily destroy them by sending out just two Mahayana Ancestors. I advise you all to leave now."

His tone was cold, making no attempt to conceal the underlying threat.

"The Horned Chi Clan is indeed powerful, but my Thirteen Clans of Tianyun are not just for show. Our strength is not far behind that of your Horned Chi Clan, and we are capable of fighting them. Fellow Daoists of the Human Race need not pay any attention to the threat of the Horned Chi Clan." The Crystal Clan woman said calmly after a moment's thought.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Nie Zhaonan's face, as if he was considering whose advice to take. After a while, he looked at the Crystal Clan woman and said calmly:
"With so many Void Refinement cultivators like us, one Myriad Wonders Pill is far too little; it's clearly not enough. How about this, I don't need the pills anymore. As long as Fellow Daoist Wen provides a Guanghan Token, giving us the opportunity to enter the Guanghan Realm, it's not impossible to offend the Horned Chi Clan for this."

“The spiritual energy within the Guanghan Realm is abundant, making it an excellent place for cultivation and breakthroughs. With so many people in your group, the Guanghan Token is indeed more suitable. Alright, I agree to your request. However, I have one condition: all these Horned Chi Clan members must be annihilated, as the value of a Guanghan Token far surpasses that of the Myriad Wonders Pill.” Knowing she had no room for negotiation, the Crystal Clan woman agreed without hesitation.

“No problem.” Nie Zhaonan smiled faintly.

The big-headed monster's face darkened completely, and he looked at Nie Zhaonan again with a stern expression.

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed determined to stand on the side of the Thirteen Clans of Tianyuan and become an enemy of my Jiao Chi Clan," the big-headed monster said coldly.

"The name of the Horned Chi Clan is useless to me. Besides, how dare a mere Void Refinement cultivator shout at me? It would be more appropriate to send a Mahayana cultivator from your clan." Nie Zhaonan glanced at the big-headed monster and said with a faint smile.

When the big-headed monster and the others heard Nie Zhaonan's words, which showed such disrespect for the Horned Chi Clan, they were all furious.

The next moment, Nie Zhaonan moved and was about to speak when Bingfeng beside him spoke softly: "Husband, let me make a move. I have recently received guidance from Sister Yueli and I believe my strength has increased a lot. Now is the perfect time to give it a try."

As an ice-attribute celestial bird, the Ice Phoenix, and Yue Li, a true dragon who cultivates ice-attribute laws, naturally receive the best guidance from Yue Li.

"Okay, be careful." Although he didn't think Bingfeng would get hurt, Nie Zhaonan still gave her a reminder.

"Rest assured, my husband." After saying this, Bingfeng flew out and waved her jade sleeve at the six people.

With a loud whooshing sound, dozens of ice threads split into six strands and shot straight toward the six people.

Its speed was so fast that it was like lightning; it arrived in front of the six people in the blink of an eye.

Before they even made contact, a chilling force emanated from them, condensing into a layer of frost on the six people.

The six Horned Chi Clan cultivators at the Void Refinement level, including the Big-Headed Monster, were immediately startled.

None of the six of them could execute such a swift attack!

Clearly, the strength of this ninth-level female cultivator from the upper clan who made the move was beyond their imagination.

Faced with the unknown attack of the ice silk, the six people were shocked and angry, and they all tried to dodge and defend themselves.

The big-headed monster swayed and disappeared from the spot, leaving a wisp of smoke.

The old woman's body emitted a radiant glow, transforming into several identical phantom images. After a flash of ice silk, the phantom images shattered, and the old woman disappeared without a trace.

The dwarf's expression changed the instant the ice silk shot towards him, and he made a hand seal.

Suddenly, a flash of blood appeared beneath his feet, followed by a cloud of foul-smelling blood mist.

With a flick of its wrist, the blood mist carried the dwarf away, transforming into a streak of blood-red light.

The remaining three armored giants, without a second thought, conjured three enormous axes, each over ten feet long and blazing with crimson flames, in one hand and gripped their handles firmly.

With a flick of his arm, the giant axe appeared as a shield in front of him.

This axe was forged from various fire-attribute materials. Not to mention its immense power, it also perfectly countered the power of ice and cold. Therefore, when the ice silk came, the three giants wearing armor chose to use this treasure to defend themselves.

But as soon as the giant man raised his axe, he suddenly saw a flash of white light before his eyes, followed by a heavy weight in his hand.

The giant axe was instantly frozen by the extreme cold, and the crimson flames it emitted were extinguished in an instant, as if it had encountered its natural enemy!

The three giants didn't even have time to scream before they turned into three blocks of ice, completely frozen inside.

The ice threads flickered the next moment, and the three ice blocks turned into a pile of minced meat. Even the nascent soul couldn't escape and was reduced to ashes in the flickering ice threads!

"Ah! Fellow Daoist Jia San." The figure of the big-headed monster appeared in another part of the void in Wu'an, which was more than forty feet away. He saw that his three fellow Daoists had been killed in an instant and shouted in shock and anger.

The old woman and the short man, who were also visible elsewhere, were equally horrified upon seeing this.

Although they knew that this female cultivator must be quite powerful, they did not expect that their three companions would be frozen and killed in a single encounter.

But before the three could react, the ice silk flashed and shot after them again.

Having witnessed firsthand the icy power and sharpness carried by these ice silks, the three big-headed monsters dared not use any treasures to directly withstand them, and could only helplessly use their supernatural powers to dodge once again.

For a time, the three cultivators, who were also at the Refinement stage, could only desperately flee through the air, seemingly powerless to fight back.

The three Crystal Clan women exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes. In their judgment, the female cultivator who made the move was no less powerful than a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Such a powerful ninth-level Upper Clan being was led entirely by that one human man, which inevitably makes people wonder just how strong Nie Zhaonan truly was.

Just then, a rumbling sound came from the sky.

Then Bingfeng felt a large white light flash above her head, and hundreds of beams of light descended from the sky again.

"Finally here." The big-headed monster breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the help teleported over.

When Nie Zhaonan and his group appeared, he knew that his strength was insufficient and the situation was out of control, so he immediately sent a message for help.

Ice Phoenix raised her head, her beautiful eyes gazing at the pillar of light, yet she showed no intention of dodging.

As a result, amidst the roar, the figure of the Ice Phoenix was also swallowed up by the teleportation light.

At this moment, the three big-headed monsters breathed a sigh of relief and finally had time to steady themselves. They hurriedly summoned several treasures.

The old woman raised her hand and took out a golden array flag, on which was clearly engraved an extremely complex golden magic array.

The dwarf opened his mouth and spat out a yellowish-brown jar. With a flick of his wrist, more than a dozen darts shot out and swirled around his body.

But the big-headed monster rubbed his hands together, and suddenly a pair of shiny black arm guards appeared on his arms, their surfaces covered with hideous patterns, the purpose of which was unknown.
