Fantasy: I Have a Max-Level Immortal Emperor Account

Chapter 291 Digging out the Soul Vein, Master-Servant Contract!!

Above the clouds, thousands of feet high.

Led by the Qingyun Sect leader Zhan Taiqing, and guided by the information sent back by Zhao Yunfei, the group sped south.

They traveled for several hours.

"Sect Leader, could it be that the information provided by that disciple is wrong? We've already traveled nearly 200,000 li and still haven't found anything!"

In the void, a hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of the beautiful young woman in white robes standing next to Zhan Taiqing.

"Impossible! He even got the other party's identity token, as well as several talismans containing information in a completely different script. He also obtained a damaged flying sword magic weapon with a magic array imprinted on it that is completely different from the array restrictions on the magic weapons we use!"

Zhan Taiqing replied with a firm gaze.

He's not stupid; why would he go to such lengths to summon so many monks if he hadn't been convinced?

"Can……"

Hu Meiniang, the only female cultivator among the four Transcending Tribulation Realm experts from the Qingyun Sect, still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhan Taiqing.

"If we still find no trace of them after traveling another 500,000 li, then we will return to our sect!"

Zhan Taiqing said.

Hu Meiniang then fell silent. Her main concern was that someone might use her as a diversionary tactic to attack the Qingyun Sect. For some reason, she had a sense of unease.

Although no trace of the Corpse Puppet Sect was found outside Qingyun Sect, Hu Meiniang firmly believed that this sense of unease could not have arisen out of nowhere.

The other two Transcending Tribulation Realm experts from Qingyun Sect had unwavering determination in their eyes.

Regardless of the outcome, this is a perfect opportunity for Qingyun Sect to escape their predicament. They have no choice but to persevere. Otherwise, how can Qingyun Sect recover its strength? Not to mention, they are destined to have a battle with the Corpse Puppet Sect in the future.

If they don't take risks to fight for more resources, what can they use to compete with the other side?

"Yes!!"

Suddenly, Zhan Taiqing sensed the presence of Chen Tianqiao and his three companions.

"Four people!"

"They are all peak Tribulation Realm experts who have comprehended the laws, and their unfamiliar auras appearing in this wilderness match up perfectly! The intelligence matches up completely!"

Zhan Taiqing became increasingly agitated.

The image of the disciple's words about the soul stone veins outside the dimensional passage immediately flashed into his mind!

"Hahaha, Heaven has spared the Qingyun Sect!"

Zhan Taiqing roared excitedly.

Hu Meiniang's expression also changed abruptly.

"Since there are only four of them and none of them are at the half-step Longevity Realm, and we are now carrying ancestral artifacts, dealing with these four is more than enough!"

"Go after them!"

Without holding back at all, Zhan Taiqing summoned the Qingyun Sword, the ancestral weapon of the Qingyun Sect, in the next moment.

"Buzz!"

The void trembled slightly.

A pale blue longsword, about two feet four inches long, appeared. Surprisingly, the blade of this Azure Cloud Sword was covered with many fine fish scales, but the scales were a dull gray, giving it a lifeless appearance.

Zhan Taiqing, who had taken the Qingyun Sect member out of his storage space, gripped the Qingyun Sword in his right hand and then, without hesitation, slashed his right arm, causing a large amount of blood to gush out.

The gushing blood all merged into the Azure Cloud Sword.

This caused the dull and lifeless Qingyun Sword to rapidly transform, changing from a dark gray to a light blue, radiating vitality.

Not only that.

Scattered sword energy emanated from the sword.

The radiating sword energy dispersed much of the surrounding thick fog, creating an astonishingly powerful aura.

"What a sword!!"

Zhan Taiqing laughed.

Because of this Azure Cloud Sword, the laws he comprehended were also of the wood attribute, making it even easier for him to use. However, since it was a flying sword of the wood attribute, its attack power was far inferior to that of the fire and metal attributes among the five elements.

Therefore, the Qingyun Sect's war with the Corpse Puppet Sect led to their disastrous defeat.

However, this only applies to the two attributes of the same level.

It's more than enough to deal with a few Transcending Tribulation Realm cultivators who haven't even reached the Longevity Realm.

"kill!"

As soon as Zhan Taiqing finished speaking...

The Azure Cloud Sword in his hand shone brightly with azure light, and the sword body, shrouded in azure light, began to expand rapidly, growing to nearly ten feet in length in just a few breaths.

The sword light caught Zhan Taiqing off guard, causing his speed to increase several times over. He then transformed into a streak of azure light and chased after Chen Tianqiao and the others to the south at an extremely fast speed!

"We need to hurry, it's too dangerous for the sect leader to fight four experts of the same level by himself!"

Hu Meiniang thought to herself.

then.

Hu Meiniang and the other two also used their respective secret techniques, and their speed increased by several times.

The cultivators at the very back of the Dao Integration Realm had already fallen far behind the Tribulation Transcending Realm group; their current speed was already at its limit.

Of course, they didn't intend to make things difficult for themselves by trying to compete with a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert in speed; that would be utterly foolish!

Chen Tianqiao and his three associates have now changed their strategy and retreated.

His facial expression suddenly changed.

For nothing else.

Within their divine sense range, a person behind them had increased their speed several times over and was approaching the four of them at an astonishing speed. This person was likely a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert who excelled in speed, and there was a greater than 60% chance that they had comprehended the wind attribute law. Perhaps they also possessed a magic weapon comparable to the Longevity Realm expert, which would allow them to have such a terrifying speed boost.

"Oops!"

"At this rate, we'll be caught up sooner or later!"

A hint of panic flashed in Chen Tianqiao's eyes.

The expressions on Reg's and the other two's faces also changed.

One of them even developed a sense of disgust towards Chen Tianqiao. They had ventured hundreds of thousands of miles into enemy territory, which was a life-or-death adventure for them. In his view, the traces of wounded enemies they had discovered along the way seemed to be bait deliberately thrown out by the enemy with a clear purpose: to lure them in and kill them!

Everything now confirms his guess.

Chen Tianqiao now feels remorse.

These enemies seemed to have been prepared. Now, when he thinks back to the wounds they sustained, he can see several weaknesses, but it's too late.

"Damn it, how can this guy's escape speed be so insane!!"

Reg sensed that Zhan Taiqing was only a few miles away from them and couldn't help but curse angrily.

Chen Tianqiao looked behind him.

The pupils shrank suddenly.

In his line of sight, he could clearly see a dazzling cyan light rushing toward them at an extreme speed.

"Such powerful sword energy! That guy has a magic weapon at the Longevity Realm level enhanced by it!"

Chen Tianqiao's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Whether he admits it or not, the only thing that can unleash such astonishing sword energy is this escape light.

The three of them looked somewhat panicked.

They initially thought it was just a routine support mission, but as they ventured deeper into the Ghost Realm, their mood grew heavy. Only now did they realize how ridiculous their initial thoughts were. What a load of crap, a support mission! This was suicidal!

Anyone who breaks through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm has a lifespan of up to five thousand years.

Every Transcending Tribulation Realm expert who cultivates peacefully tries to avoid fighting with others of the same level, unless the battle is one where the odds are significantly different. In such cases, the stronger party will naturally fight, killing and plundering as the fastest way to make money.

But when they are in a weaker position, they feel very uncomfortable, and this is exactly the situation for Chen Tianqiao and his team!

……

Inside Qingyun Gate.

Lin Xuan, who flew out from Qingzu Peak, continued to impersonate Zhan Taiqing.

Along the way, whenever they encountered his disciples and elders, they were initially surprised and puzzled, but then they had to respectfully bow to him.

"Headmaster!"

"Headmaster!"

Although they were puzzled by Zhan Taiqing's appearance, the aura of the sect leader remained unchanged. Although they did not understand why the sect leader had returned, they dared not raise any questions, since the other party was the sect leader of Qingyun Sect!

And so, Lin Xuan arrived at the heart of Qingyun Sect, Jilongtan.

The only soul vein of the Qingyun Sect lies beneath the Jilong Pool.

In Jilongtan, there is still a two-headed purple python, a ghostly beast that Zhan Taiqing has subdued. It has the cultivation level of the first level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm and is also a guardian of the spiritual vein. Back then, this spiritual vein belonged exclusively to him.

Until one day, Zhan Taiqing broke this deadlock.

Upon discovering this soul vein, Zhan Taiqing, wielding the Azure Cloud Sword, was overjoyed. Without a word, he gave the two-headed purple python a sound beating, leaving it on the verge of death. The python was then forced to sign a master-servant contract with Zhan Taiqing, and from then on, it became the guardian beast that protected the soul vein.

Most importantly, he cannot absorb the soul power of the soul vein, which is simply torture!

Whenever he harbored wicked thoughts, bound by the master-servant contract, he would suffer a heart-wrenching pain, and thus he resigned himself to his fate, blaming himself for being unlucky to have encountered that pervert Zhan Taiqing.

The sun hangs high in the sky.

The two-headed purple python lay on the edge of the pool, half its body on the shore and half submerged in the water. Its large, bowl-sized, crystal-clear scales, like amethyst, shimmered with a faint, iridescent glow under the sunlight.

"Huhuhu..."

A purple head the size of a house lay horizontally in the tall jungle. White gusts of air shot out from its two nostrils, which were as thick as buckets, and traveled dozens of steps away. With a slightly stronger snore, the two-headed purple python blasted several giant trees in front of it down.

Meanwhile, his body, which was nearly three hundred feet tall, was slumbering soundly, his abdomen rising and falling gently.

The entire Qingyun Sect knew that something had happened in their sect, and all the peaks began to tense up and enter a state of combat readiness. Of course, the two-headed purple python also heard Zhan Taiqing's shout.

But no one cares about his affairs; his only task is to protect the soul veins.

It's safe to say that this purple python is currently the most idle creature in the entire Qingyun Sect.

At this moment, the two-headed purple python seemed to sense a familiar aura approaching, an aura that was like a nightmare deep in its soul, directly startling it awake.

He opened his amethyst-like vertical pupils slightly, half-asleep.

It slightly raised its enormous head and looked up.

"kindness?"

"It's Zhan Taiqing, no, didn't he already leave?"

"No, this isn't Zhan Taiqing..."

The two-headed purple python cursed inwardly.

No matter how well the imp mask disguises itself, the power of the contract that is integrated with the laws of the ghost world cannot be faked.

Although the appearance, aura, and cultivation level of the person in front of him, Zhan Taiqing, were all of average, there was no master-servant contract power connected to him within his body. The two-headed purple python excitedly probed for some master-servant contract power, but tragically, it was still there. That meant that the person in front of him was an imposter.

Even if it was an imposter, his divine sense pressure was no weaker than Zhan Taiqing's; they were practically identical.

"There's only one possibility for a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert to impersonate Zhan Taiqing: he's an enemy of the Qingyun Sect!"

"And he chose this time of year. Even if he cries for help, he sensed that the real Zhan Taiqing is hundreds of thousands of miles away. By the time Zhan Taiqing comes back to save him, it will be too late!"

"What should we do? Should we pretend we don't know this guy?"

The two-headed purple python moved stiffly and slowly back towards the pool of water behind it.

At this moment, he was starting to hate himself. Why did he have to come out and bask in the sun? Wouldn't it have been better to stay in the underground river, thousands of meters below the surface?

The two-headed purple python decided that it would never again dare to come up here and cause trouble!

Sunbathing can be life-threatening!

"Great Ghost Control Technique!"

Lin Xuan's mind moved.

The divine sense of the Tribulation Transcending Realm was released, and with the spiritual marrow crystal that had not yet been fully digested as the power source, it instantly activated the natal talisman of the Great Ghost Control Technique in the mind.

The talisman was activated instantly.

It released a light like a black sun.

Meanwhile, from the outside world...

At the edge of the pool, two black vortexes, each three zhang in diameter, suddenly formed beside the two-headed purple python. They slowly rotated like two black holes, releasing two auras of the Tribulation Transcending Realm from them.

Immediately, two bat-winged yakshas at the Tribulation Transcending Realm flew out from among them, slightly flapping their bat wings and holding blood forks, floating in the air on either side of the two-headed purple python. The blood forks, which were slightly gleaming with cold light, and the bloodthirsty aura emanating from the two people were extremely astonishing!

The two-headed purple python was so frightened that it immediately froze on the spot, not daring to move an inch.

He buried his head deep in the ground, and the scales on his body made a metallic clanging sound as he trembled.

This enemy actually had helpers, and they were all at the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Now the two-headed purple python was in utter despair!

"This Zhan Taiqing is really crazy! Why did he gather all the Tribulation Transcending Realm warriors away? His stronghold has been raided!"

The two-headed purple python cursed inwardly.

"Well, sir, I'm just a lowly gatekeeper. If you want to extract soul veins from underground, I absolutely won't stop you. If I'm bound by a master-servant contract and can't help you, I can still help you dig out some soul veins!"

Then, the two-headed purple python respectfully transmitted its voice to Lin Xuan.

Right now, no matter what you say, the most important thing is to keep your own life!

Just now, the two-headed purple python deliberately explored the surrounding area, and as it had predicted, this entire area was sealed off!

"Master-servant contract?"

"Right……"

Lin Xuan listened to the timid two-headed purple python below and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes. No wonder the purple python's eyes were strange from the beginning. That's why he summoned two monsters at the Tribulation Transcending Realm to scare it. He had forgotten about the contract!
