Chapter 270: Chapter 18: Hell Has No Gate, Yet You Entered!

Hearing Zhou Xun’s words, Sunx Yuanque immediately nodded.

“Naturally, that person pursued me for a long time until he was killed by Master Kuhe,”

“The Master and my grandfather were like senior brothers, and he gave me all the belongings of that Celestial Feather Sect cultivator!”

“Brother Sunx, feel free to take a look!”

As he spoke, he patted his waist, causing streaks of spirit light to fly out and land on the stone table in front of them.

Celestial Feather Sect’s standard magic sword, shield, flying ship… His gaze finally landed on a damaged cyan-black token.

“What is this token?” Zhou Xun asked curiously.

“This seems to be the communication device of that Celestial Feather Sect cultivator, but unfortunately it was damaged by him!” Sunx Yuanque answered casually.

“Interesting,” Zhou Xun showed a look of understanding.

He paused and then said:

“I’m quite interested in this token. I wonder if Brother Sunx could part with it?”

“A damaged item, Brother Zhou, just take it away. Of all the treasures here, if Zhou Xun sees anything you fancy, feel free to take it!”

“Haha, then I will accept your offer without hesitation!”

With that, he collected the token and the standard magic sword into his storage bag.

Afterwards, the two completed their transaction.

Sunx Yuanque didn’t stay long and soon left!

….

After Sunx Yuanque left, Zhou Xun patted the storage bag on his waist, and three beams of spirit light flew out, landing on the table, transforming into three treasures.

One was Zhou Xun’s Small Divination Compass, while the other two were the cyan-black token and the Celestial Feather Sect’s standard magic sword he had just taken from Sunx Yuanque.

Zhou Xun picked up the token, holding it in his hand.

It felt slightly cool to the touch, with a wooden texture.

He couldn’t discern how it was used for communication.

But that wasn’t important.

Zhou Xun had requested this token and the sword from Sunx Yuanque to perform the tracking technique in divination skills.

Using the connection between this token and other tokens to locate the group of Celestial Feather Sect cultivators that had attacked the Artifact Refining Luo Family.

As for this magic sword, it served as a complement to the token.

After all, he couldn’t be sure if the token would be effective.

Zhou Xun immediately formed a seal, using the Small Divination Compass as a medium, and performed the tracking technique in divination skills.

A beam of spirit light reflected on the token.

Soon, a mysterious piece of information appeared in his mind.

Immediately, Zhou Xun looked westward, muttering:

“Wuli Mountain!”

What surprised him even more was that the group of Celestial Feather Sect cultivators had just flown out of Wuli Mountain.

…

The team that attacked the Artifact Refining Luo Family was led by Celestial Feather Sect’s Master Fake Pill Long He.

The team consisted of nine members, all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Unfortunately, during the attack on the Luo Family, a Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was caught and fell by a Cloud Light Sect cultivator.

Afterwards, they were left with nine people,

including two Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, two Middle-Stage, and four Early-Stage.

After leaving the Luo Family, they set their sights on Wuli Mountain.

Unexpectedly, apart from initially encountering a Tier Two Middle-Grade Array, they encountered no resistance.

This was because Fang Tianlun and his wife received Zhou Xun’s warning and immediately led their subordinates to Wangchuan Lake.

And their own Wuli Mountain dojo was left with just a Mountain Protection Array for defense.

Thus, the group of Celestial Feather Sect cultivators stayed at Wuli Mountain to recuperate.

“Junior Martial Uncle Long He, we’ve been resting for three days. Where do we go next?” a middle-aged man in cyan clothing asked Master Long He.

At this moment, Master Long He was holding a map, examining it carefully.

It was a map of Xui Country, marked with the positions of various major forces in Xui Country, including some public spirit ore locations.

“Our previous actions have attracted the attention of Cloud Light Sect cultivators. They’re probably searching for us all over by now!”

“We should lay low for a while and wait for this storm to pass before making any further moves!”

“Fortunately, there’s no one at Wuli Mountain. I doubt the people of Xui Country would expect us to be hiding within their territory!”

A man in black clothing spoke.

“Senior Brother He’s words make sense!”

Everyone agreed, then turned their gaze to Master Long He.

Sitting in the main seat, Master Long He remained silent, still examining the map carefully.

Noticing the sudden silence, he looked up and saw everyone watching him, so he asked:

“Everyone, why do you think we infiltrated the heart of Xui Country?”

“The purpose, naturally, is to cause chaos in the heart of Xui Country, forcing them to pull troops from Golden Ape Valley, and at the same time hit their supply lines!”

The man in black spoke,

“You’re right. Since our mission is to create chaos in the heart of Xui Country, how can we lie low,”

“Otherwise, if Xui Country casually sends a few patrol teams, won’t we have to abandon our mission?”

“Therefore, we not only can’t lay low, we must increase our attacks, mobilizing even more cultivators from Xui Country!”

“One Foundation Establishment family after another being destroyed, how can those Xui Country cultivators at the Golden Ape Valley frontline sit idly by?”

“Then, our mission will have achieved its effect!”

Master Long He’s tone was neither slow nor hurried, yet it resounded like a grand bell striking everyone.

Everyone who joined the team infiltrating the heart of Xui Country naturally wasn’t afraid of dying.

“Junior Martial Uncle, please give the order. What’s our next target?” Everyone spoke up.

Seeing this, Master Long He nodded in satisfaction, then gathered everyone and heavily marked a spot on the map several times.

It was “Wangchuan Lake”!

…

Discovering that the group of Celestial Feather Sect cultivators had left Wuli Mountain, Zhou Xun immediately summoned his subordinates once more.

He strictly ordered them not to step outside the grand array’s range.

At the same time, he heightened the vigilance.

After his subordinates left, Zhou Xun once again took out the token, performing the tracking technique to trace the Celestial Feather Sect cultivators’ whereabouts.

By this time, they had already left Wuli Mountain by a thousand miles, and their direction was directly towards him.

“I haven’t gone to find you, yet you’ve come to deliver yourselves to me!”

Zhou Xun muttered a sentence.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t reveal his true strength.

Otherwise, given Zhou Xun’s current combat strength, this little squad of Celestial Feather Sect cultivators wouldn’t even be worth his attention.

“It seems I’ll have to use the array to annihilate the enemy!”

“It’s just right to test the power of this Demon Spirit Transformation and see if it’s really as formidable as Elder Nanyue claimed!”

The demon spirit infused in his array was that Cyan Snake with the ancient True Spirit Soaring Snake bloodline.

Immediately, he flew out, standing above Lake Heart Island, and took out the array manipulation command flag, holding it in his hand.

Quietly waiting.

…

On the other side, nine streaks of Spirit Light rapidly approached from the west of Wangchuan Lake.

“Up ahead is Wangchuan Lake. Be careful not to be discovered by them!” Master Long He cautioned.

Even in a surprise attack on a Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit Land, Master Long He did not harbor the slightest underestimation.

It was precisely this cautious nature that made him one of the chosen candidates for this infiltration deep into Xui Country.

“Yes!”

Everyone nodded.

Gazing at the mirror-like Great Lake in the distance, their hearts burned with eagerness.

As time passed, they drew ever closer to Wangchuan Lake.

It was the season for Spirit Grain to mature; below them lay vast expanses of golden fields, with many Spirit Farmers, mere tiny dots, weaving through the gold.

“We have arrived, charge in!”

Master Long He shouted lowly, and immediately a green Spirit Light shot from his mouth, hovering swiftly above his head.

Transforming into a giant green sword nearly ten zhang in size.

Man and sword together transformed into two long rainbows, swiftly flying over Wangchuan Lake.

The remaining eight people did the same!

Zhou Xun stood atop the clouds, watching coldly.

Beneath him, a cyan snake shadow, nearly a hundred zhang in size, stood proudly!

“I’ve been waiting for you for quite some time!”

Seeing them all enter the waters of Wangchuan Lake, Zhou Xun murmured softly.

Then, he waved the command flag in his hand.

Instantly, a massive light shield covering hundreds of miles rose up!

Enveloping the entire Wangchuan Lake within.

Master Long He saw this, his expression changed dramatically, reacting instantly,

“No good, it’s a trap!”

He then shouted to the eight Spirit Lights behind him,

“Retreat quickly!”

After speaking, he immediately reversed his Escape Light, flying towards the edge of Wangchuan Lake.

The other eight finally realized what was happening.

Each one’s face turned pale as they turned back without hesitation.

But by then, it was already too late!

Zhou Xun waved the flag in his hand again, and Master Long He’s surroundings instantly changed.

The entire world seemed like a molten purgatory.

The scene was fiery red, with patches of boiling lava bubbling on the ground.

All around, red dots appeared suddenly, gathering and enlarging until they became fireballs, each over a zhang in size.

Engulfing thousands of zhang of space, encircling Master Long He and the other eight.

“This is… a Tier Three Low-Grade Array!”

A man in black cried out in despair.

His body was pasted with Defense Talismans, and a golden light shield enveloped him like a sphere.

In front of him, a black shield spun erratically.

However, even with such defenses, he felt no sense of safety.

The others were in similar situations, using every skill they had.

Master Long He held a jade-green round pearl, emitting a faint green light, enveloping an area of dozens of zhang around him.

It was clearly a Tier Three Low-Grade Defense Magical Treasure.

Who would have thought that Master Long He, a Fake Pill Cultivator, would have such wealth, possessing two treasures.

Truly worthy of being from one of Yean Country’s three major sects.

It’s known that Wu Zongdao, a True Pill Cultivator, only has one such treasure.

In fact, this Green Source Pearl was bestowed by the sect before their departure to protect those cultivators infiltrating Xui Country’s heart.

To this, Zhou Xun was only slightly surprised.

Then he waved the command flag again.

Hundreds, thousands of giant fireballs poured down, attacking the Celestial Feather Sect people in the center.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Loud explosions sounded continuously.

The shield of the man in black didn’t last long before it was destroyed, then the layers of golden light shields followed.

All these were Defense Talismans of Tier Two Middle-Grade or above.

Yet, each fireball of this array’s Fire Prison Transformation was potent enough to rival a Tier Two Technique.

Before long, the light shields on the black-clothed man completely shattered.

The approaching fireballs were getting ever closer.

The bright firelight illuminated the despair on his face even more clearly.

With a heartrending scream, the black-clothed man soon drew his last breath.

Screams echoed one after another,

The remaining seven did not last much longer and were all annihilated.

Master Long He, face grim, holding the Green Round Pearl, maneuvered the green giant sword, trying desperately to break out of the array.

Yet it was all in vain!

Half an hour later, the fireballs were exhausted.

Master Long He appeared battered, and the green light surrounding him had diminished somewhat.

“Truly worthy of being a Master Fake Pill sent by the Celestial Feather Sect for infiltration, his skills are no ordinary matter!”

“Such strength could nearly rival Master Yun Feng back in the day!”

“Well, at least this way I can test the power of my Cyan Snake Demon Spirit!”

Zhou Xun glanced at the hundred-zhang giant snake beneath him, then pointed at Master Long He within the array, lightly uttering a single word:

“Go!”
