Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

The attendant beside him also looked bewildered and quickly bowed, replying, "This... I really don't know either."

Seeing that the contract was complete, Wu Feilong quickly sheathed the powerful Devouring Yuan Sword. Then, he whispered an order to the Devouring Yuan Worm: "Quickly burrow underground and find nearby spirit stones to absorb their spiritual energy to replenish your strength. Once you've recovered, immediately flee. I will find you when the opportunity arises. Remember, do not reveal your whereabouts, or you will surely face death!" He didn't want anyone to know that he had subdued such a powerful Devouring Yuan Worm; that would only bring him more trouble. Moreover, several terrifyingly powerful Nascent Soul stage experts were hidden nearby.

The Devouring Worm burrowed into the ground like an eel, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye. At that moment, Wu Feilong unleashed a blazing phoenix flame without hesitation, tightly enveloping the Netherworld Sword in his hand. In an instant, the Netherworld Sword emitted a dazzling light, resembling a peerless divine weapon.

With a furious roar, Wu Feilong swung his Netherworld Sword, unleashing a sharp sword aura that hurtled towards the magic array. A crisp "crack" resounded, and the once indestructible array was cleaved open, creating a massive crack! Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Wu Feilong and the Devouring Worm, which had already burrowed underground, instantly transformed into two streaks of light, shooting out from the crack and successfully escaping the scene.

However, Wu Feilong did not give up. As he ran away from the magic circle, he deliberately shouted loudly at the young prince in the distance, "Oh no! There's a monster here!" His voice echoed in the open space, sounding particularly jarring.

Upon hearing Wu Feilong's shout, the Nascent Soul experts immediately became alert, unleashing their powerful divine senses to search everywhere. However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find any trace of the Devouring Worm. Helpless, they could only look at each other, then slowly shook their heads at the young prince, indicating that they had found nothing.

Just then, the young prince flashed by, appearing before everyone as swiftly as a light bird. With a look of regret on his face, he said insincerely, "Alas, I really didn't expect this. We had already suppressed this Devouring Worm here, but unexpectedly, such a thing happened." After saying that, he even sighed dramatically.

Seeing this, Wu Feilong quickly stepped forward and said urgently to the young prince, "Young prince, let's finish the transaction quickly. We've gained a total of 150,000 gold stones this time. You can take 100,000 gold stones first, and the remaining 50,000 are mine. This place is far too dangerous; I almost lost my life just now!"

In truth, the young prince already had a plan in mind. He originally intended to use this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone—to obtain more spirit stones effortlessly and to eliminate Wu Feilong, a major threat. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes; Wu Feilong was incredibly lucky and managed to escape even in such a perilous situation.

Seeing that the young prince remained silent, Wu Feilong continued, "Young prince, I have already told all the disciples that I will take 50,000 yuan stones back with me. If I cannot return or see the yuan stones, there will be rumors and gossip."

"You—you dare threaten me, young master!" The man roared, his eyes wide with rage.

“How dare I!” The other man bowed slightly and responded humbly, but his eyes were firm and cold.

"Hmph! Men, go and select 100,000 of the best quality spirit stones for me. Let this arrogant fool take the rest!" The man gritted his teeth and waved his hand fiercely.

Wu Feilong swiftly pocketed the 50,000 spirit stones, then mounted his flying sword and sped away like a streak of light. During his flight, he took out the Devouring Yuan Sword and continuously channeled the spiritual energy within it into himself and his mount, the Great Roc, to replenish their depleted true essence. After quite some time, he and the Great Roc finally recovered completely.

After Wu Feilong's figure disappeared into the horizon, the young prince turned to the guard beside him and whispered, "Immediately spread the news that the Lieyang Sect possesses 50,000 Yuan Stones. Make sure the whole world knows about this."

Upon hearing this, the guard's face immediately lit up with a fawning expression, and he hurriedly cupped his hands in praise, "Your Highness is truly wise and mighty! This is a clever scheme to kill with a borrowed knife, brilliant indeed!"

You must understand, even a single spirit stone is enough to cause people to fight tooth and nail, let alone a whole fifty thousand! The allure of it is simply unimaginable.

Wu Feilong rode the roc at breakneck speed, returning to the Lieyang Sect in just half a day. He knew that the young prince was ruthless and would surely try again if he failed to kill him this time. With that in mind, he went straight to Sect Leader Mu's room without hesitation.

With a loud bang, the door was flung open, and Wu Feilong rushed in, shouting in a panic, "Sect Leader, the situation is urgent! Quickly disperse the sect's disciples!"

The sect leader, who was meditating and cultivating inside the house, was startled by the sudden change. He opened his eyes and asked with a puzzled look, "What exactly is going on? Why are you dismissing the disciples in such a hurry?"

He told Mu Sheng everything he had done. Mu Sheng stood there, completely unconvinced. He never expected Wu Feilong to bring back 50,000 spirit stones. Someone of his rank knew the saying, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." Even if Wu Feilong hadn't taken a single spirit stone, the disciples wouldn't believe him, and neither would anyone else. After all, one was a prince, and the other was the leader of a third-rate sect. Even if the prince was lying, many would still choose to "believe." This whole affair was a trap set against him from the start.

Wu Feilong took out 20,000 Yuan Stones as severance pay, part of which was the Yuan Stones he had promised, and he also wanted everyone to know that he had distributed the Yuan Stones.

Two days later, although everyone was puzzled, they had no choice but to leave the Blazing Sun Sect, and in the end only a few people remained.

"Sect Leader, Master, the situation is critical. I would be grateful if you could take Yao'er, my junior sister, my master's wife, and my brother with you to the Qin Kingdom. As long as we remain within the territory of the Zhou Kingdom, we will inevitably be unable to escape their pursuit and surveillance," he said solemnly.

"Alright! Don't worry, but you must be extra careful while you're away and act with caution in all things. We will be waiting for your return in Qin." The sect leader earnestly instructed.

At this moment, Sun Wang stepped forward and hugged him tightly, tears glistening in his eyes: "Brother, I know that my strength is far inferior to yours. Staying here will only be a burden to you and hold you back. So this time I will go with everyone. You don't need to worry about me. I will take good care of them."

After saying that, he carefully took out a luminous pearl that emitted a soft light from his bosom, gently handed it to Mu Yao, and gently instructed her, "Keep this luminous pearl safe."

Mu Yao took the luminous pearl, gazed at him tenderly, and softly replied, "Yes, I know. Take care of yourself too. I will always be waiting for you to return in Qin."

And so, he escorted them all the way to the border between the two countries. Watching their figures gradually disappear from sight, Wu Feilong's heart was filled with endless reluctance. However, forced by circumstances, he knew he had no other choice but to silently turn and leave.

Several days later, all sorts of rumors flew around like snowflakes. At first, it was just a rumor that "the Blazing Sun Sect possesses 50,000 spirit stones," but somehow, as the rumors spread, it evolved into "the Blazing Sun Sect possesses hundreds of thousands of spirit stones." Such exaggerated and mysterious rumors spread more and more intensely, arousing the great interest of countless martial arts practitioners, who flocked to the Blazing Sun Sect to find out for themselves.

But when these people arrived at the Blazing Sun Sect with great excitement, they were astonished to find it deserted. The once vast sect was now just empty courtyards; not only were there no hundreds of thousands of spirit stones left, but not even a single thing of value. Faced with this sight, everyone was dumbfounded, filled with doubt, and completely baffled.
