CHAPTER 714: 590 DEFECTOR FAIRY

After hearing Yu Wa’s words, Dongxuan Immortal chuckled, "Shi Pi the Elder’s Divine Power is not inferior to mine, I can only drive him away but not kill him. My own Heavenly Tribulation is also not far off, it’s not possible for me to engage in a fight with him to the point of mutual destruction just for you. If you agree, then send over the Jade Bowl, I’ll help you drive him away; otherwise, I will take the bowl for myself."

Exasperated and gritting her teeth, Yu Wa had no better option at the moment, and time was running short for her to think it over. Shi Pi the Elder had sent ten demons to chase after Shi Feiyang, all attacking her while the volcano above forcefully descended, leaving no room for her to bargain with Dongxuan Immortal.

With no other choice, she sent the Jade Bowl to Dongxuan Immortal.

A beam of white light enveloped the Jade Bowl, rapidly flying toward Dongxuan Immortal. Just then, Shi Feiyang swooped by, raising his hand to release a swath of Taiqing Divine Light, which enveloped the Jade Bowl and forcefully pulled it back into his own hands.

Both Yu Wa and Dongxuan Immortal were stunned by this act, "Master Yu, what are you doing?"

"I am here under the commission of Master Yuan Yang, Shi Feiyang, to retrieve this Jade Bowl," Shi Feiyang said, holding the Jade Bowl, "I am about to deliver it to Master Yuan Yang. He asked me to tell you thanks for your help this time. When you undergo your tribulation in the future, he will definitely come to assist you personally."

After saying this, Shi Feiyang immediately flew east, raising his hand to deploy the Heaven and Earth Clearing Great Technique. His fingertips emitted five pale red lights, which shot into the Blood Flame. The Demon Light and Blood Flame parted like waves, and the Golden Sabers and Golden Swords melted away, revealing a straight path on which he rapidly flew away.

"Hold up, lad!" Dongxuan Immortal, wielding a Poison Dragon Staff, swiftly pursued from behind, unleashing a hundred thousand Golden Silkworm Gu, which turned into a dense shower of sparkles trailing long golden lines in the sky.

She had taken an interest in the Star True Liquid inside the Jade Bowl, knowing that this item was a Heavenly Treasure. Although she did not know its specific use, she had confirmed that it could be used to transform the physical body, grant eternal life, transform the Primordial Spirit, expel yin to progress yang, and could even be used to evolve Gu worms.

She had changed her mind and decided not to hand it over to Shi Feiyang, but to claim it as her own!

Seeing that Yu had intercepted the Jade Bowl halfway, claiming to be entrusted by Shi Feiyang, Dongxuan Immortal immediately intended to kill. She wanted to retrieve the treasure before Yu could hand it over to Shi Feiyang!

Seeing the massive swarm of Golden Silkworm Gu approaching, Shi Feiyang knew their danger – the Golden Silkworm Gu were known as the king of all Gu, and those refined by Dongxuan Immortal were even more formidable, surpassing even the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu refined by the ancestor in the Green Robe.

He did not stop them but used the Taiqing Immortal Escape Technique to swiftly flee. The Asura Formation laid outside by Shi Pi the Elder was easily crossed by him, but Dongxuan Immortal couldn’t get through immediately due to the blocking formation.

Although Dongxuan Immortal also knew the Southern Border Gu Formation, her expertise in formation techniques was far inferior to that of Shi Pi the Elder.

Pressing for time, she forcefully attacked the Demon Formation, creating a hole with a powerful burst.

Shi Pi the Elder had only used the Asura Great Technique to set up a temporary formation, which Liu He and others, despite combining their efforts, couldn’t break through. Dongxuan Immortal, however, broke through it in an instant.

But even that caused her a delay of a few seconds, and by the time she got outside, Shi Feiyang was nowhere to be seen.

Having traveled thousands of miles away, Shi Feiyang reverted to his true form, delighted with the Star True Liquid he obtained from the Jade Bowl.

Putting away the Jade Bowl, he didn’t need to visit West Sea Island anymore, but considering how ruthless Dongxuan Old Lady was, if he didn’t go, Yu Wa would undoubtedly die. Thus, he quickly flew to West Sea Island.

Upon arrival, sure enough, Dongxuan Immortal was using magic to attack Yu Wa, forcing her to reveal the origin and use of the Jade Bowl, to see if more of the true liquid could be found within.

Yu Wa, having put in the effort of her entire sect, couldn’t even fight off Shi Pi the Elder alone; now with Dongxuan Immortal added into the mix, her defeat was imminent.

First, she pleaded with Dongxuan Immortal, but the latter only cared about the True Liquid in the Jade Bowl, releasing huge amounts of Golden Silkworm Gu and surrounding her household.

Yu Wa said, "I’ve possessed that treasure for hundreds of years, the Jade Bowl was lost from the Nine Heavens Immortal Mansion to the human world. I also wanted to gather more, searching everywhere for many years without finding another drop."

Dongxuan Immortal listened, utterly disappointed.

Just then, Shi Feiyang arrived.

He directly entered the formation and found Dongxuan Immortal.

Dongxuan Immortal looked at him with reluctance flashing in her eyes, had she not already witnessed Shi Feiyang’s capabilities earlier, she would have attacked directly!

Shi Feiyang said to her, "The True Liquid of the Jade Bowl is already in my hands. Now, there are two ways to resolve this: either consider it a favor I owe you, I will assist you in your tribulation in the future, but you also owe Master Yu a favor for helping her survive the current calamity to complete the cause and effect. Alternatively, consider that I directly took it from Master Yu, so I only owe her a favor, and I will help her through this calamity now. What do you think?"

While they were talking, Yu Wa had grown increasingly weak. Le the Ruyi Golden Hook and the Jade Bowl True Liquid had slipped out of her hands, her spare Flying Sword had been seized and chewed up by the Divine Demon. She had resorted to other Magical Treasures, but over a dozen of them had been continuously destroyed. The Demons had also remotely absorbed her Primordial Spirit, affecting her mind, and her disciples were on the verge of collapse.

The most terrifying thing was the volcano above was continuously and forcefully sinking, spewing ten thousand feet of Demon Fire, twisting the very fabric of space!

Shi Feiyang then released three Purple and Blue Divine Flames from above, with a little figure standing in each flame, each casting spells. The figure on the left shot upward a beam of Purple and Blue Divine Light, holding up the Five Mountains Divine Peaks, while the figure on the right fired downwards, restraining all the incoming Blood Flame Golden Sabers.

The figure in the middle also emitted Divine Light, containing the surging Demons.

At that moment, the Purple and Blue Light Flames illuminated the Circulation, making Shi Feiyang appear like a Heavenly God descended to earth.

He instructed Yu Wa to lead her disciples into the circle illuminated by the Purple and Blue Light Flames for refuge.

Yu Wa, with her remaining six disciples, hastened into the circle in a most disheveled state, two of whom had been roasted by the Demon Fire through their Protective Dharma Treasures, their bodies overheating, skin swelling, their senses blurred.

With a casual wave of his hand, Shi Feiyang summoned a breeze that extinguished the Demon Fire and the Evil Qi, refreshing the two disciples greatly.

He continued asking the Dongxuan Immortal, "What precisely is your decision? Make it quick!"

The Dongxuan Immortal suddenly let out a cold laugh, "You young fool, you think this old lady is so easy to bully?" As she finished speaking, she shook her Poison Dragon Staff and her figure rapidly dispersed backwards, instantly reaching outside the Array, in front of the blood-red Lotus.

Shi Pi the Elder, who had planned to capture everyone in one fell swoop, had noticed her earlier. Realizing her Daoist Techniques were surprisingly formidable, and unable to hold her with his divided attention, he let her escape, focusing mainly on annihilating Yu Wa and her entire sect first.

Upon seeing her daring to appear before him, he immediately waved his horsetail whisk, sending countless Blood Flame Golden Sabers smacking her way.

The Dongxuan Immortal blocked the Golden Sabers with a dark light emitted from her Poison Dragon Staff and loudly said to Shi Pi the Elder, "Fellow Daoist, hold your hand for a moment. I am the Dongxuan Immortal from the Southern Border of Central Earth, you should have heard of me. I do not know Yu Wa personally, nor do I have any relations with her; this encounter was merely coincidental. The Great Ming National Master Yuan Yang is here; he is a despicable character and holds some grudge against me as well. How about we join forces and eradicate him along with Yu Wa and her sect, each taking what we need?"

Shi Pi the Elder snorted coldly, utterly disdainful of forming alliances, "It’s my own business to kill Yu Wa and her sect. What are you to join hands with me?"

He swung his horsetail whisk again, intensifying the outpour of Blood Flame Golden Sabers, and employing the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands Asura Great Technique, attempting to seize the Dongxuan Immortal’s Primordial Spirit.

While the Dongxuan Immortal parried his attacks with her Poison Dragon Staff, she tried to say something else, suddenly feeling her mind wavering, momentarily disoriented, inwardly remarking on the potency of his magic.

According to her estimation, the power between them was not too dissimilar; going all out would certainly lead to mutual destruction.

Before her Heavenly Tribulation, she could not afford to clash head-on like this; infuriated, she thought if only she had joined Shi Feiyang and Yu Wa sooner to defeat this Great Demon!

But now, returning would just make her the butt of jokes among Shi Feiyang and Yu Wa.

What a pity! What a pity!

The Dongxuan Immortal thought that if Shi Pi the Elder could join forces with her, they definitely could have annihilated Shi Feiyang and Yu Wa. Then, she could seize all of Shi Feiyang’s treasures including two Cosmic Treasures, the Jade Bowl True Liquid, and other supreme materials like Golden Spider and Textual Spider, all essential for Gu refining!

She sighed helplessly and grew even more resentful towards Shi Pi the Elder, "Old demon! I’m not fighting you to the death today, not because I’m afraid of you. When your time of calamity comes, I will personally be there to send you off! Just you wait!" With those words, she shook her staff, transformed into a dark light and shot through the sky, disappearing into the West Heaven Sea in an instant.

Shi Pi the Elder, also wary of the old lady, secretly breathed a sigh of relief seeing her leave. Now, he was ready to exert his full strength to annihilate Yu Wa and her people.

Shi Feiyang released Purple and Blue Sword Qi, cleaving through the Blood Flame Golden Sabers.

Shi Pi the Elder, recognizing the formidable power, wielded his horsetail whisk, releasing billions of blood-colored Mars, each one an Asura Thunder Bead. A dense hail of blood-lit fire bullets followed by countless Golden Sabers, Golden Swords, and Golden Needles swarmed toward him. Shi Feiyang’s initial five Sword Qis, summoned with one hand, seemed unable to hold them back; raising his other hand, he immediately emitted ten Sword Qis. He also employed Divine Skills, deriving billions of minor Sword Qis from the ten, filling the sky with attacks colliding with those Asura Thunder Beads, Golden Sabers, and Golden Swords, causing dense and intense explosions that shook as if the sky itself would shatter.

This bout between the two seemed evenly matched for a moment.

Shi Pi the Elder was extremely surprised; for decades, he had mastered both Buddhism and the Demon Path, advancing further in the Asura Demon Path, growing fierce and progressing rapidly. Believing his Divine Power to be unrivaled, he saw none from his previous peers among the Cosmic Six Strange as his match, and only a few within Buddhism could stand on par with him.

His Divine Sword Peak was located deep within the mountains of the Dian-Burma region, undisturbed by human activity. The peak soared into the clouds, and he spent years there in meditation, as short as several months and as long as several decades. Thus, he was unconcerned about this Great Ming National Master and Master Yuan Yang, even though he saw Shi Feiyang integrate his essence, energy, and spirit with the Purple and Blue Duoluo Fire, refining the Three Flowers atop his head, he never expected that Shi Feiyang could withstand his full-force Asura Great Technique!

Shi Feiyang then said to him, "You and Yu share some bad karma, but there’s no need for a fight to the death. The main culprit who killed your disciples, Yu Xiangzhu, has already been slain by you, which amounts to your revenge. You can cease the battle and return home!"
