Chapter 152: Chapter 82: Ambush!

Several black-robed figures arrived in front of Master Yufeng’s cave mansion.

“This is… the Celestial Secret House?” The leading elder looked at the cave mansion, which was completely different from its surroundings.

“It’s said that this Celestial Secret House has quite a few powerful defense restrictions!” Another elder, slightly younger, spoke up.

“What’s the point!” The black-robed elder said as he pulled out a red and blue pearl.

“Thunderfire Pearl, a single-use treasure, its power equals an all-out strike from an Early-Stage True Pill cultivator!”

“Using this pearl directly, won’t it just wipe out Old Yufeng, leaving no remains?”

“It doesn’t matter if he dies, just don’t destroy the Spirit Medicine along with him!”

“Don’t worry, Yufeng is the direct disciple of Elder White Cloud and sits on the treasure land of White Cloud Immortal City, he surely has many life-saving treasures!”

The black-robed elder snorted coldly.

He then signaled everyone to retreat several hundred feet away before activating the Thunderfire Pearl and fiercely threw it towards the Celestial Secret House.

Just when the black-robed elder was about to sacrifice that cone-shaped round pearl.

Within the Celestial Secret House, Master Yufeng suddenly opened his eyes.

At that moment, the Thunderfire Pearl launched by the black-robed elder had already struck the Celestial Secret House.

“Boom!”

With a deafening explosion, the entire Celestial Secret House instantly vanished, and all the cultivator cave mansions within a thousand feet radius were razed to the ground.

The cultivators inside, except for a few with profound cultivation or possessing powerful life-saving treasures, were completely wiped out.

Like Zhou Xun, an Honored Guest Elder who lived on the periphery.

Instead, he escaped unscathed thanks to this chance.

At that moment, a figure flew up from the ruins of the Celestial Secret House, this person held up a crimson light shield, shouted angrily with his voice echoing throughout the entire base.

“Who are you all, daring to invade my White Cloud Immortal City!”

If it weren’t for the Life-Saving Jade Pendant bestowed by Master White Cloud, which automatically activated a Tier Three Defense Light Shield, he would have already been ensnared.

Although cultivators possess Divine Sense, Fake Pill cultivators can survey a thousand-foot radius.

But no one would activate Divine Sense all the time to scan around.

Moreover, Master Yufeng was within the base, with a Quasi-Third Tier Array outside and the Celestial Secret House inside, naturally lowering his guard.

He almost fell!

Then, as he scanned the area,

seeing the tragedy within a range of a thousand feet, Master Yufeng’s heart burned with rage.

The cultivators living around him were mostly from White Cloud Immortal City internals, like his junior brother with the Wind Spirit Root.

And the numerous elders from White Cloud Immortal City who came along.

Now only a few life essences remain.

Luckily, his junior brother was safe, or he couldn’t explain to his master, Master White Cloud.

Besides himself, only two Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators leading the team and two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment elders survived.

All others turned to ashes.

Six Foundation Establishment elders perished, marking the most severe loss for White Cloud Immortal City in decades.

Looking at everything before him, Master Yufeng’s anger boiled.

Following, he unleashes his rage, a red light shot out from his body, its spirit light rising skyward.

Within the spirit light was a long ruler engraved with numerous runes, entirely crimson, exuding an astonishing spiritual pressure.

Seeing Master Yufeng unscathed, the black-robed elder who acted sighed inwardly, saying ’what a pity’.

Though this was within their expectations.

For Master Yufeng, a veteran Fake Pill cultivator, being easily killed would be abnormal.

However, this person’s unscathed condition still was beyond what they expected.

Thus, when Master Yufeng made a move, the two black-robed figures almost simultaneously acted.

One was a pitch-black large cauldron, and the other was a hiltless long blade.

With powers comparable to the red ruler, they intercepted it.

“Magical Treasure!”

Master Yufeng calmed down.

The two in front were indeed not weaker in cultivation than him.

If relying on an array, he could maneuver a bit.

Now that the enemy had intruded into the array, it couldn’t pose a threat to them anymore.

Fighting one against two would be possible for a short duration, but prolonging the fight would lead to defeat, perhaps even death!

“What crime has White Cloud Immortal City committed to provoke you two?”

Old Daoist Chuyun suppressed his inner rage, trying to negotiate. If settled, great; if not, it could stall time, his master was already heading here!

“As long as you hand over the Crystal Condensing Reishi, we can retreat!”

The leading elder answered sharply, his voice clearly feigned.

“Crystal Condensing Reishi!”

Master Yufeng’s heart sank, how did they know?

Could it be junior brother? Impossible, the Crystal Condensing Reishi was for him, no reason to leak it.

But those aware were only Master White Cloud, junior brother Xing Huai’an, and,

“Sun Yuanqing!”

Master Yufeng quickly realized who the traitor was, gritting his teeth in fury.

Sun Yuanqing merely reported the news about the Crystal Condensing Reishi, not knowing if it was acquired.

This shows that the two before him weren’t entirely clear either.

Mind spinning, he coldly said next:

“The Crystal Condensing Reishi is guarded by a powerful Spirit Beast, we couldn’t obtain it. If you wish, pick it yourself!”

Saying so, he plucked a Jade Scroll from his Storage Bag and tossed it to the black-robed figures.

“Here is the map to the Crystal Condensing Reishi’s location!”

The black robes looked at it, then sneered:

“Do you think we’re fools? No more words, unless you hand over the Crystal Condensing Reishi, it’s your death today!”

Seeing this, Master Yufeng knew no reconciliation was possible, so his face showed struggle, then he sighed, his expression disheartened, and said:

“Alright, I shall hand it over, hope you keep your promise!”

Saying so, he took out an item from his Storage Bag and threw it to the duo.

Upon hearing Master Yufeng’s words, the two were taken aback, sensing something off.

At this moment, the item Master Yufeng threw surged with momentum, revealing a Quasi-Third Tier Blast Thunder Talisman!

“What a scoundrel!”

The two black-robed figures were furious, quickly using defensive measures.

Soon after, several violent thunderbolts descended on the defense light shield of the two individuals.

Master Yufeng took this chance to soar into the sky.

The defensive array of the base only acted outward, without inner power, hence Master Yufeng took out the manipulation token and dispelled the whole array!

Then he flew towards White Cloud Immortal City’s direction swiftly.

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to transmit to his junior brother Xing Huai’an:

“Junior brother, run quickly, I’ll draw them to the master!”

…

Elsewhere, Zhou Xun was getting familiar with puppet controls in the hall.

Suddenly an astonishing explosion sound echoed.

Then came Master Yufeng’s furious voice.

Zhou Xun was shocked, hurriedly flew up, looking towards the sound source.

A terrifying storm emerged from Master Yufeng’s location, swept like a tsunami, sending flying sand and rocks mixed with intense spiritual pressure.

A moment later, the storm struck the defense light shield outside Zhou Xun’s temporary cave mansion.

The light shield’s spirit light flickered wildly.

Note, his location was on the base’s periphery, seven miles away from Master Yufeng’s place.

So far away, yet the aftermath of the magical combat had such might, the Third Realm cultivator’s strength is truly terrifying.

Then sounds of combat and thundering fell.

Soon after, several silhouettes soared into the sky and scattered away.

The fastest escape speed, Zhou Xun clearly saw, seemed to be Master Yufeng’s figure.

Zhou Xun’s heart tightened, shocked inwardly, quickly he waved and collected the puppets in the hall into his Storage Bag.

Then, without hesitation, he took out the Heaven-Escaping Talisman, choosing the direction away from White Cloud Immortal City, and sped off.
