Mysterious mirror hanging high

Xiao Beiyue smiled, his tone as gentle as ever: "After all, we are both from the righteous path of Penglai Xianzhou, so we should help each other."

"Since Fellow Daoist Yanjun has already avenged your nephew's death, why commit further murder?"

Huangfu Yanjun was not afraid of this Nanyue Zhenjun who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. His eyes were fierce and he asked, "What if I insist on committing a murder?"

Xiao Beiyue said calmly: "I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Yanjun doesn't have this ability."

"No matter how strong a sword cultivator's killing power is, there is still a small realm between them... Do you really think that every sword cultivator is Nangong Fuhua?"

The Nanyue Zhenjun who came from Zhongzhou unfolded the bamboo slips in his hand. His left hand had grasped a brush at some point and wrote the word "Wu" on the bamboo slips.

The next moment, the word "Wu" jumped out of the bamboo slips, shining brightly, and stood between Xiao Beiyue and Huangfu Yanjun.

The magic sword in Huangfu Yanjun's arms was spiritual, and under the suppression of the word "Wu", it couldn't stop shaking.

Huangfu Yanjun took a deep look at the word "Wu" and thought to himself:

"Father was partial, channeling most of the clan's resources towards my nephew, just to fulfill my eldest brother's last wish and help him successfully form a Nascent Soul... Humph, it's a pity he was such an arrogant and conceited person. It's a good thing he's dead now. Otherwise, if he had really reached the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, who knows what kind of disaster he would have brought upon the Huangfu family..."

"Now that I have severely injured Ying Baoding with a single sword strike and crushed that destiny boy to death, and was stopped by Xiao Beiyue, I have finally given my due account to the clan."

"Hehe, once Huangfu Zhengqi dies, won't my kid have a path to enlightenment?"

When Huangfu Yanjun thought of this, he could no longer suppress the smile on his face and said leisurely:

"Okay! I'll give you Xiao Beiyue some face today."

Having said that, he did not stop and slashed the magic sword in his hand, and a crack appeared in the void. The tiny Nascent Soul instantly escaped into the void and disappeared.

"Thank you for saving my life!"

Master Zhu Yan bowed with tears in his eyes, saying, "Sir..."

Xiao Beiyue lightly tapped his finger, dispersing the word "Wu" in the air. He then closed the bamboo slip and glanced at the Jindan True Immortals, Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even the hundreds of thousands of Qi Training cultivators who were bowing down to him. He said calmly:

"Today we must stop the war. It is inappropriate to resort to violence rashly... I hope you will all take care of yourselves."

After saying this, the True Lord Nanyue drew a line with the brush in his hand and also disappeared into the void, disappearing in an instant.

As the two great True Lords left one after another, the oppressive atmosphere that had been permeating the entire place suddenly dissipated. The hundreds of thousands of cultivators present all breathed a sigh of relief, and sighs could be heard from the countryside outside the city.

The four major sects and several great masters of Huangfeng Valley did not speak. They silently gathered their disciples and took long-distance boats to return to their respective mountain gates.

When the two great masters Yuehua and Tota of the Xiaoyao League saw the four major sects retreat, their originally tense nerves could not help but relax. However, Yuwen Baoding escaped with serious injuries and was afraid that he would not show up in the short term. Thinking of the future prospects of the Xiaoyao League, the worries of the two men were almost written on their faces and could not be shaken off.

Jing Yu looked at the place where Yu Wen Xiaoyan's body had turned into a sky full of flames. Now there was not even a trace of ash left.

As for Yuwen Xiaoyan's storage bag and other items, they might have been taken away by Huangfu Yanjun and had long disappeared without a trace.

Jing Yu felt depressed, but he could only sigh in his heart, and didn't even dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face. He just secretly remembered the name of Master Yan Jun, and saw if there would be a chance to avenge his friend in the future.

"Brother Han still has a small mark of black energy on his soul. I wonder if the secret realm he is in can escape detection by the Huangfu family..."

Putting aside his slight worries about Han Ping, Jing Yu returned to Xiaoyao Immortal City with Zhao Yuanxi. Now that Yuwen Baoding was seriously injured and missing, the Xiaoyao Alliance was leaderless. The top combat power that had originally been in balance with the four major factions, or even had a slight advantage, was broken. The future was likely to be full of troubles, and Jing Yu had no choice but to make preparations early.

He returned to his retreat room, first used the mysterious mirror to explore the surroundings, then activated the formation in the room with all his strength, and temporarily added several warning spells. Then he took out the jade slip that Yuwen Xiaoyan had handed to him when he was leaving the blessed land from his storage bag, probed into it with his spiritual sense, and looked at it carefully.

This is……

Jing Yu's heart sank. The jade slip that Yuwen Xiaoyan had given him contained a secret technique, and within it were written five large characters:

The skill of reversing blood and seizing souls!

Isn’t this the evil secret method of the Black Blood Taoist that can take away the immortal foundation of the descendants of his bloodline?

Why did it fall into Yuwen Xiaoyan's hands...

Jing Yu looked carefully again and soon found something wrong.

Although this [Blood Reversing and Soul Stealing Technique] is very similar to the Black Blood Taoist's version, there are many differences in details. At least the conditions are more stringent. The object of seizing the foundation of the immortal way must not only be one's own bloodline descendant, but also must be within the same realm as oneself.

That is, if a great immortal in the late Jindan stage wants to practice this secret method, the bloodline he chooses must at least form a Jindan.

"[Earth-Surge Heart Fire Lotus] can slowly improve the foundation of the immortal path, slightly increase the probability of forming a pill and forming an infant, improve the quality of the golden pill, and assist in opening the Yuanying acupoints... So this is what Yuwen Baoding is thinking!"

Jing Yu connected the entire matter almost instantly: "In fact, the search for the spiritual vein is a cover. Yu Wen Baoding has known all along that the best reward in the inheritance fairy palace in the [Langhuo Blessed Land] is the [Earth-Surge Heart Fire Lotus]!"

"Brother Xiao Yan has the nature of fire in his body, making him the perfect candidate to inherit this legacy."

"Yuwen Baoding let him obtain this treasure, and then used the [Blood Reversal and Soul Stealing Technique] to seize his foundation. Ultimately, it was all for his own path!"

"No wonder Brother Xiao Yan said before that Yuwen Baoding would do his utmost to protect his life before he could achieve Dan. After all, this is related to his own path, how could he not care about it?"

"It's just that the gap between a Jindan Zhenren and a Yuanying Zhenjun is too great. Yuwen Baoding was almost cut down by a sword... That's why the plan failed."

Jing Yu thought of the version of [Blood Reversal and Soul Stealing Skill] in the hands of the Black Blood Taoist, and suddenly realized:

"Yes, the Black Blood Taoist's version has been tampered with. I previously thought that the mastermind behind the tampering of the secret method was to restrain the Black Blood Taoist and prevent him from escaping control. This is why his cultivation level has not improved for many years. In fact, I was wrong."

"The [Blood Reversing and Soul Stealing Technique] in the hands of the Black Blood Taoist doesn't require players to be at the same level. I think Yuwen Baoding made careful modifications to ensure it's more secure, and deliberately released it for testing. He wanted Yuwen Xiaoyan to absorb his immortal foundation while he was building his foundation, lest Yuwen Xiaoyan become a Golden Core True Person. He's also a rare destiny child, and I'm afraid that by then his destiny will take effect, and all his efforts will be in vain."

"However, modifying a secret technique always involves a series of changes. Yuwen Baoding removed the restriction of not requiring the same realm, but something went wrong at a certain stage he was unaware of, causing Black Blood Taoist to become stuck. Naturally, Yuwen Baoding could only hold his nose and use the original secret technique, waiting patiently for Yuwen Xiaoyan to form his elixir."
