The void in front of Fang Chen suddenly rippled like water, and a finger as jade-like as it was thrust out from within, pressing heavily down towards the rapidly approaching Heavenly Blood Needle, a streak of azure light spreading from its tip.
"Break!"
A soft voice echoed from the void. Immediately, the azure light on the jade-like fingertip brightened intensely, seemingly dyeing the entire space into a sea. Faintly, a sound of tides resonated in all directions.
Buzzing...
The Heavenly Blood Needle, shooting towards Fang Chen, froze in mid-air, trembling continuously. However, when the azure light surged and swept across it, something remarkable happened.
With a whoosh...
The originally blood-red Heavenly Blood Needle suddenly shimmered with an eerie azure glow, as if it had been assimilated. At the same time, the entire Heavenly Blood Needle rapidly crystallized like a gem and then gently floated down towards Fang Chen.
Reaching out to catch the now crystallized and harmless Heavenly Blood Needle, Fang Chen thoughtfully raised his head and gazed directly towards the direction of Ziyang Sect.
There, a hazy figure was also looking at him.
It was a woman who appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, slightly tall with three thousand strands of hair casually tied back, flowing smoothly against her slender waist. Her face was delicate, with a hint of calmness in her brows. Yet this woman was none other than the mysterious peak expert from the Heavenly Realm who had previously intervened twice to resolve Fang Chen's crises!
"Luo Qingyan, are you not afraid that Ziyang Sect will be destroyed by your hands?!" A sharp voice filled with malice suddenly roared from the end of the mountain path near Ziyang Sect.
At the same time, a wave-like disturbance spread through the air. Light and shadow intertwined until they formed a series of luminous chairs. From these chairs, figures stepped out from the void and casually sat down. Occasionally glancing downwards, their eyes emitted an indescribable terrifying pressure that seemed to envelop the entire world.
"These people..." The crowd on the mountain path, already shocked beyond measure, were even more stunned at this sight.
"One, two, three... six! All are experts from the Heavenly Realm!" Someone in the crowd murmured while counting the figures in mid-air.
The power of spatial restriction in Purple Sun Mountain Range was nothing but a joke to these six individuals.
The appearance of six Heavenly Realm experts within Ziyang Sect's territory was entirely normal; after all, it was said that there was only one unparalleled master at Daoist Master Realm within Ziyang Sect, but there were still quite a few existences at Heavenly Realm. Thus, their emergence was within everyone's expectations.
But at this moment...
"These six Heavenly Realm experts don't seem to be from the Ziyang Sect," someone said with a tremble in their voice.
In fact, anyone who wasn't a fool could see that these six powerful Heavenly Realm experts were not only not from the Ziyang Sect, but they were clearly here to cause trouble for the Ziyang Sect.
Although the six thrones floated in mid-air, their position subtly surrounded the mysterious woman who had previously helped Fang Chen, and the occasional cold and disdainful glances from the six individuals looked down upon her.
What on earth happened to the Ziyang Sect? Why were they being confronted like this?!
The scene before them, combined with the earlier appearance of the Golden Giant Palm and this sudden Hunt, created an invisible sense of panic that enveloped everyone.
Was it really worth risking their lives to come to the Ziyang Sect? Many people suddenly had this thought in their minds, and some had already begun to look around nervously, preparing to flee at the first sign of trouble.
"So her name is Luo Qingyan," Fang Chen murmured as he looked at the mysterious woman facing six opponents of the same realm.
"Hmm?" At that moment, his brow furrowed slightly as the space around him suddenly rippled, and a powerful pressure unexpectedly bore down upon him.
This pressure came quite suddenly, and at that moment, Fang Chen was still controlling the Life and Death Great Millstone. If it had been anyone else, they might have suffered mental damage from such an unexpected force and would have found it difficult to maintain control over the Life and Death Great Millstone. However, for Fang Chen, pressure was something he feared least. Still, there was no need to provoke unnecessary trouble at such a time.
With a thought, Fang Chen's face turned pale, and even his aura weakened slightly. After disguising all of this, he finally raised his head and looked directly toward the source of the pressure.
In his line of sight, at the rightmost throne, sat a man with slightly graying hair. His face bore some wrinkles, and his thin lips appeared somewhat sinister.
"Hmm?" As if sensing Fang Chen's gaze, the mysterious man's sharp eyes suddenly shifted to meet Fang Chen's.
"Is everything alright?" The corner of his mouth lifted slightly in surprise, but soon after, that surprise turned into a somewhat eerie smile. He moved a finger lightly on the armrest of his throne, causing a dangerous glint to flicker.
"Liu Dong, if you dare to move again, I guarantee you won't leave this Purple Sun Mountain Range," Luo Qingyan's cold voice suddenly rang out. Her phoenix-like eyes were filled with menace as her long hair flowed behind her. A dangerous aura emanated from her, causing all six individuals on their thrones to focus intently.
The strange smile on his face suddenly froze. Looking at Luo Qingyan's murderous eyes, Liu Dong remained silent, narrowing his eyes slightly, exuding a dangerous aura as well. However, soon after, he pressed his thin lips together, and the dangerous glint at his fingertips vanished without a trace.
"Luo Qingyan, do you really want to provoke a war between the Ziyang Sect and the Crimson Bright Sect?" Suddenly, a voice shouted from beside Liu Dong. At the same time, a middle-aged man dressed in a fiery red robe stood up from his chair, casting a dark glance towards Fang Chen in the distance before fixing his gaze tightly on Luo Qingyan, with terrifying light flickering in his eyes.
"It's him." The moment the middle-aged man in the red robe stood up, Fang Chen recognized him. This person was indeed the mysterious Heavenly Realm expert who had attacked him twice before.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Luo Qingyan's mouth as she glanced sideways at him and said lightly, "Crimson Bright Sect, is it now you Chu Fangtian who calls the shots?"
"You!" Chu Fangtian's expression froze upon hearing this.
"Moreover, since this game has already ended, why are you still here? Do you have something else to discuss?" Luo Qingyan said coldly, her gaze sweeping over the six people around her, her icy demeanor intensifying. "If you don't leave soon, you can all stay here. The Ziyang Sect may not be much, but we can certainly accommodate you."
As she spoke, a powerful aura suddenly surged from Luo Qingyan. Beneath her feet, the azure light flickered as the Heavenly River formed from Great Dao Power materialized.
As Chu Fangtian glanced at the Heavenly River beneath Luo Qingyan's feet, a hint of apprehension flashed across his face. However, he quickly shifted his gaze towards Fang Chen's direction. Especially when he saw the Life and Death Great Millstone hovering in mid-air, the coldness in his eyes increased significantly.
"This person has killed so many disciples of my Crimson Bright Sect; he must be punished!" he said coldly, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Since this is a Hunt, life and death depend on their own abilities. If they are outmatched and killed, how can one talk about murder?" Luo Qingyan replied indifferently. She paused for a moment and then looked at Chu Fangtian with an icy glare. "Are only your Crimson Bright Sect members allowed to kill my Ziyang Sect disciples? My Ziyang Sect disciples cannot kill your Crimson Bright Sect disciples?"
"They still don't count as Ziyang Sect disciples," Chu Fangtian retorted.
"Since they have entered my Purple Sun Mountain Range, they are all disciples of my Ziyang Sect," Luo Qingyan stated calmly.
"You!" Chu Fangtian's expression grew increasingly grim. In his view, although the Life and Death Great Millstone had stopped spinning, the auras of Shen Yi and the other two were already extremely weak and could be completely erased like Situ Lie at any moment.
"Can we at least release them?" Chu Fangtian said slowly, his face darkening to an almost palpable degree.
Shen Yi was among the most outstanding young disciples of this generation in the Crimson Bright Sect. As long as they didn't fall midway, they would become powerful pillars of the Sect in the future and could even potentially advance to become experts in the Heavenly Realm. Losing one Situ Lie had already caused him great pain; if Shen Yi and the others were to perish as well, this trip to the Ziyang Sect would be an utter failure for him. Even if he returned to the Sect afterward, he would inevitably face criticism.
"Whether to let go or not is not up to you." Luo Qingyan remained indifferent, speaking lightly, her gaze briefly sweeping over Fang Chen, the meaning in her words extremely clear.
The lives and deaths of Situ Lie and the others were entirely decided by Fang Chen.
Seeing Luo Qingyan's demeanor, Chu Fangtian let out a sigh of relief. A mere Little One from the Body Refinement Realm, would he dare to defy after a little intimidation?
Thinking this way, Chu Fangtian turned his gaze to speak to Fang Chen. However, what unfolded before his eyes instantly froze the smile that had just appeared on his face.
Crack!
The luminous chair beneath Chu Fangtian suddenly shattered inch by inch, a terrifying aura abruptly sweeping out from him. He fixed his gaze on Fang Chen, watching as a hint of blood color seeped out from the Life and Death Great Millstone, as if squeezed from between clenched teeth, he spat out two words: "Seeking death!"
Under the watchful eye of a Heavenly Realm expert, Fang Chen still controlled the Life and Death Great Millstone, instantly reaping the lives of Shen Yi and the others!
"This Little One..." Luo Qingyan raised an eyebrow, a hint of astonishment flashing across her icy face at that moment. But soon after, a smile appeared at the corner of her eye: "Just like her."
Having wiped out Shen Yi and the others in one fell swoop, the Life and Death Great Millstone dissipated in mid-air. Looking at Chu Fangtian, whose expression had darkened to the extreme and was radiating a frenzy of killing intent as if a storm was brewing between his brows, Fang Chen's face remained calm as he said loudly: "Does the senior have any instructions?"
