Danwu Refining Spirit

Chapter 259 A single note from the flute, who can rival it?

The whistling sound was clear and resonant, like a sudden clap of thunder in spring, soaring straight into the clouds, seemingly carrying the sound of metal and stone.

At first, the clear whistle was still a hundred miles away, but soon it was only ten miles away, sounding as if it were right next to your ear.

"Judging from this voice, the newcomer's cultivation is profound, surpassing even that of an ordinary Martial Saint. Could it be reinforcements sent by the Clan Alliance?"

Startled by the whistling sound, the martial artists of the Martial Elders Association stopped in their tracks, a hint of doubt flashing through their minds.

"Could it be that Elder Wu has been unable to break through the city walls and has sent more men?" On the city wall, Sheng Xueyan frowned slightly, also thinking that the enemy had sent strong reinforcements, so she stared intently and listened carefully.

But upon closer listening, she felt the voice was somewhat familiar, giving her a sense of peace without her even realizing it.

This greatly surprised Sheng Xueyan, who secretly dispersed the Yuan energy within her body.

Just as both sides were filled with doubt, the howling sound grew closer and closer, and in an instant it approached Wuyou City.

Both sides looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure approaching swiftly. At first, it was just a small black dot, but in a few breaths, it appeared behind the Wu Lao Hui army formation and strode towards Wuyou City.

Wherever he went, the man exuded an extremely dangerous aura, making the martial artists of the Martial Elders Association feel as if he were a tangible presence rushing towards them.

"Stop him!" Elder Liu shouted, pointing at the figure.

Among all of them, Elder Liu possessed the highest cultivation level and the deepest understanding of qi, making him the most sensitive to the flow of energy. He had already sensed that the newcomer harbored ill intentions towards their side.

"We obey the elder's command!" Upon hearing the shout, more than ten Martial Saints rushed towards the figure.

However, the newcomer clearly did not want to get entangled with the Wu Lao Hui group. With a slight movement, he rose from the ground and lightly traversed dozens of feet, flying towards the city wall.

This ability to leap through the air is something that even an ordinary martial saint can barely manage, but it would be difficult for them to cross dozens of feet as easily as this newcomer.

Moreover, the attacker flew too high, gaining a commanding advantage. If one were to rashly leap up to confront it, one would inevitably suffer a severe blow.

Therefore, the martial artists of the Martial Elders Association could only shout and cry out in alarm, watching helplessly as the person flew over their heads and landed on the top of Wuyou City, but no one dared to risk their lives to stop them.

Amidst gasps of surprise, the man, with his flowing sleeves, descended gracefully towards the top of Wuyou City, like a bird tracing a beautiful arc in the air.

Sheng Xueyan stared intently at the figure in the air. When the person slowed down and was about to land on the city wall, she finally saw the other person's face clearly.

—Isn't that Xiao Chong?

—He finally came!

—But if you come now, you will only be taking your own life!

—But it's alright, at least my deep affection for you wasn't in vain!

Looking at that familiar face, Sheng Xueyan felt a surge of emotions.

"Xiao Lang!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, she blurted out the words, completely disregarding the many people around her.

Xiao Chong, suspended in mid-air, saw Sheng Xueyan standing safely and gracefully before him, the very person he had been longing for day and night, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

His smile was fleeting when he suddenly heard the other person call out "Xiao Lang," and he caught his breath.

call!

Xiao Chong fell heavily to the ground below the city wall, looking completely different from his previous disheveled state.

Caught off guard by this turn of events, the martial artists of the Martial Elders Association let out a howl and rushed toward Xiao Chong.

—Since she is safe and sound, there's no need to rush. Let's deal with these bastards first!

Xiao Chong struggled to his feet, looked up at the city wall and gave an awkward smile before heading towards the enemy.

boom! boom! boom!

Overjoyed, Xiao Chong seemed to have divine assistance, defeating more than twenty martial saints with a single punch, and none of them could withstand a single blow from him.

"Is this Xiao Chong? Judging from his cultivation level, he's clearly only a Martial Saint, so why is his combat power so formidable?"

As a Martial Emperor, Elder Liu had extremely sensitive hearing and immediately realized what was happening after hearing Sheng Xueyan call out "Xiao Lang".

But he was really dumbfounded and couldn't figure out how Xiao Chong had done it.

In the brief moment that Elder Liu was stunned, the situation on the field took a sharp turn for the worse. To his surprise, he found that his own warriors were falling to the ground one after another, and there was no one around him.

"Xiao Chong, so what if you kill them all? I can still slaughter Wuyou City all by myself!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Elder Liu was enraged and pointed at Xiao Chong, shouting, "All of you are going to die! You are no match for the Martial Emperor!"

"The Martial Emperor? He's nothing special!"

Faced with Elder Liu's clamor, Xiao Chong smiled slightly and secretly opened up the space inside the Purple Cloud Cauldron.

Inside the Purple Cloud Cauldron, Helian Tieshu and the other Longhua Daoists had been awake for some time.

Upon waking, these people discovered that their cultivation had increased dramatically, with most of them even advancing to a higher realm. They were all overjoyed.

But after the initial surprise, they soon realized they were in a completely unfamiliar environment. Moreover, this environment was extremely unstable, shaking incessantly as if an earthquake had occurred.

"Where is this place? Weren't we just taking pills and cultivating? How did we end up here?"

Looking around but not finding Xiao Chong, Helian Tieshu panicked and grabbed Long Wu, who was nearby, asking loudly in surprise.

"Yes, where is this?"

"Where is the Dao Lord? Why can't we see the Dao Lord?"

The others also started asking questions, and the scene became somewhat out of control.

"Shut up, all of you! Let me explain slowly!" Long Wu had already guessed his boss's intentions, so he quickly shouted and jumped out to put the situation under control.

The crowd felt somewhat relieved and gradually quieted down.

Just then, the surrounding tremors suddenly stopped.

Sensing this change, Long Wu felt much more at ease and said confidently, "In my opinion, we have probably already arrived at Worry-Free City."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Worry-Free City is thousands of miles away. How can you just walk there on a whim?"

"Exactly! Do you think we're three-year-olds? You're utterly inhuman!"

The crowd was clearly dissatisfied with Long Wu's answer, believing that he was trying to fool them.

The noise of voices began to rise again.

Just as the situation was about to get out of control again, the surrounding space shook once more, and everyone felt a blur before their eyes, as if they had been transported to a different scene.

Before them stood a city, and everyone was standing on an open ground outside the city. An unfamiliar old man was confronting Xiao Chong.

"Daoist!"

"It is the Dao Lord!"

Upon seeing Xiao Chong, the Taoists were overjoyed and all wanted to step forward to pay their respects.

"Wait!" Xiao Chong shouted, stopping everyone. He pointed at Elder Liu and said, "This old man is a Martial Emperor from the Martial Elders' Association. He's our mortal enemy. Let's all work together to take him down first, then we can talk!"

Whether he's a Martial Emperor or a Martial God, since he's a member of the Martial Elders' Association, he must be eliminated!

The Taoists had just broken through to a higher realm and were riding high on their momentum, so why would they take an old man seriously?

So they all flew into the air, aiming their fists at Elder Liu, ready to smash him down.

Of these people, more than two thousand were originally Grandmasters, but now most of them have advanced a level and become Martial Saints.

What could be the situation if over a thousand martial saints attacked simultaneously, and all of them targeted the same enemy?

No one has ever seen it, not even Elder Liu, who has lived for over four hundred years!

Elder Liu was terrified.

He felt over a thousand streams of Yuan energy surging together like a tide, locking him firmly in place, pressing down on him so much that he couldn't lift his back.

Even the Martial Emperor couldn't withstand such power!

At the critical moment of life and death, Elder Liu knelt down with his hands over his head, crying out, "Spare me! I surrender!"

The surge of Yuan energy in mid-air paused for a moment, and more than a thousand Martial Saints all looked at Xiao Chong.

"If I don't escape now, when will I?" Seizing this opportunity, Elder Liu's heart stirred, and he lightly shifted his feet, preparing to exert his strength to escape.

"I won't accept it!" At that moment, Xiao Chong shouted loudly, and Elder Liu's heart trembled, and his steps became weak.

"Kill!" More than a thousand martial saints roared in unison, their fists slamming down.

boom!

A deep pit, hundreds of feet in diameter, appeared on the ground. Elder Liu was reduced to ashes before he could even scream.
