"Fellow Daoist Long Gui, stop quickly, the item is about to be taken away by this person!" Huangfu Jue transmitted voice over.

"I've withdrawn my divine ability, what about Gao Feng and Lan Lan?" the black Long Gui hesitated.

"No need to worry about them, let's seize the Pill King Secret Manual first, and leave the rest to me." Huangfu Jue said.

"Well then!" transmitted the black Long Gui, waving his hand to remove the gravity divine ability.

As soon as the gravity disappeared, Huangfu Jue's body instantly transformed into a dazzling golden thunder light, rushing straight toward Dian Xiaosan, twice as fast as before.

Dian Xiaosan, although intent on obtaining the treasure at that moment, still kept a bit cautious, guarding against Yun Luo Fairy hiding somewhere.

However, Huangfu Jue's speed was incredibly fast, at the moment he appeared, Dian Xiaosan hadn't even seen his face clearly when he saw a thunder blade light chopping down.

Slash!

The right arm holding the Pill King Secret Manual was abruptly cut off, blood gushed out, and the Secret Manual flew away.

Dian Xiaosan screamed miserably, and was then blasted away by a thunder light, crashing heavily into the hall wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and slumping to the ground.

Huangfu Jue did not even glance at Dian Xiaosan, raising his hand to grab towards the Pill King Secret Manual.

"This is the moment I've been waiting for!" Gao Feng flipped and leapt up, opened his mouth, and spat.

A tumbler painted with human faces on both sides instantly flew out, swaying left and right, with the face up becoming upside down in an instant.

Suddenly, Huangfu Jue's vision blurred, and he found himself at the position Gao Feng had just been, while Gao Feng was swapped to the spot next to the Pill King Secret Manual.

"Space Shifting Divine Ability!" Huangfu Jue's face suddenly darkened.

Gao Feng directly reached out, grabbing the Secret Manual and Dian Xiaosan's severed arm, stuffing them into his chest, while white light flashed under his feet, a cloud suddenly emerged, lifting his body as he fled toward the hall exit, at an extremely fast speed as well.

How could Huangfu Jue let him escape, once again transforming into thunder, chasing after him.

Although Gao Feng's speed was fast, he was still much slower than the thunder Huangfu Jue transformed into, and the distance between them quickly closed visibly.

Seeing this, Gao Feng broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes flickering, he suddenly took out a palm-sized Jade Talisman, attempting to crush it.

A stream of water gushed from underground ahead, revealing Lan Lan's figure.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Lan, you arrived just in time, help me block Huangfu Jue!" Gao Feng exclaimed with joy, stopping the action of crushing the Jade Talisman, shouting loudly.

Lan Lan glanced at him, her hands rapidly forming seals, with the coral Beast Bones on her head suddenly opening its mouth.

A faint white spirit light shot out from the coral beast's mouth, hitting Gao Feng with a confused look.

With a "boom" resounding, Gao Feng was blasted away, crashing heavily to the ground.

His skin and flesh tore open, with large patches of coral rapidly growing from his body, within moments transforming him into a monster covered with coral.

"Why... why?" Gao Feng's face torn by coral was full of disbelief.

The black Long Gui had already transformed back into human form, witnessing this scene, was also stunned.

At this moment, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, and his demonic power inside ceased to cooperate, his limbs weakened, causing him to sit on the ground.

At this moment, Dian Xiaosan appeared silently behind him, holding a golden treasure sword which he had somehow obtained, stabbing swiftly towards Long Gui's spine.

Long Gui's heart was filled with dread, barely gathering the remaining demonic power, desperately dodging to the side, but still couldn't evade, being pierced through by one stab, the sword penetrating the black armor, entering the waist, all the way to the hilt.

A wild force surged from the golden treasure sword, pouring into the body of the black Long Gui.

The black Long Gui let out a shrill scream, blood sprayed from his mouth and nose, his body splitting with countless wounds, blood rushing out in large puddles.

Long Gui's eyes rolled white, his tall body slowly fell into the pool of blood, fainting.

Lan Lan looked at Dian Xiaosan's side, her expression calm, seemingly unperturbed.

The woman quickly shifted her gaze, looking towards the approaching Huangfu Jue: "We've done what we should, now, it's time for you to fulfill your promises."

"And my share, too." Dian Xiaosan came flying over as well.

"Of course, Master Dian, Fellow Daoist Lan Lan can rest assured, our Dongji Palace holds firm to its promises, we will never go back on our word." Huangfu Jue nodded and smiled.

"Lan Lan, since when did your Azure Dragon Pond collude with Dongji Palace? And Dian Xiaosan, you actually betrayed us Luo Jia Mountain!" Gao Feng glared at the three fiercely.

"You're mistaken, Azure Dragon Pond has been our Dongji Palace ally from the start, as soon as the Palace Master received the news that the Black Evil Sect was about to open Emperor Yan's Mausoleum, he informed Azure Dragon Pond's members to come to aid, unexpected that you Luo Jia Mountain also got wind of the information and wanted to follow, as a precaution, the Palace Master sent Master Dian to join your team, to coordinate as needed." Huangfu Jue said indifferently.

Gao Feng's face became ashen, Dian Xiaosan did indeed suddenly want to join Luo Jia Mountain's team just before heading to Emperor Yan's Mausoleum, they had been manipulated right from the start.

Gao Feng's heart was filled with unwillingness, desperately wanting to crush the Jade Talisman in his hand, but his arm no longer obeyed his commands.

"Why bother talking so much with him? Hurry up and kill him to get the job done." Dian Xiaosan frowned.

"I, Huangfu Jue, do not enjoy slaughter. Even if I must kill, I will fulfill their last wish before their death. Go in peace." Huangfu Jue walked up, took the Jade Talisman from Gao Feng's hand, flicked a finger, and a sword light slashed towards Gao Feng's neck.

But in the next instant, two figures wrapped in black light appeared out of nowhere on Huangfu Jue's left and right, shooting out beams of treasure light, crisscrossing towards him.

Huangfu Jue was startled, flashed and retreated, evading their surprise attack.

Almost at the same time, Dian Xiaosan and Lan Lan were also attacked by two black-cloaked figures.

Each of these shadows possessed Returning Void cultivation, forcing Dian Xiaosan and Lan Lan to quickly dodge.

The two figures who drove back Huangfu Jue did not pursue, but turned to grab Gao Feng lying on the ground,

Huangfu Jue's eyes flashed with cold light. He performed a hand spell, and countless golden lightning bolts shot out, turning the hall into a world of thunder and lightning.

Gao Feng, unable to move, was struck by a barrage of golden thunder. His already critically injured body became charred, and his scant breaths rapidly dissipated, his life or death unknown.

The black shadows hurriedly dodged, but the golden lightning was too dense for them to evade, each being struck by numerous golden thunderbolts, all getting blown away.

The black light on these figures was torn apart by the golden thunder, revealing their true appearances.

Huangfu Jue was taken aback.

These people were none other than the Returning Void Island Masters and Dongji Palace Elders who had assaulted the Black Evil Sect with him before. However, their eyes were now hollow, their expressions wooden, like puppets.

"This is bad, the black Long Gui hasn't lost its battle strength yet!" He whipped his head around, looking at the black Long Gui nearby.

"The Dongji Palace is truly calculating." The black Long Gui got up, smiled coldly.

"Impossible! He was hit by the Soft Demon Fragrance and struck by a blow from the Dragon Spine Sword; how could he recover so quickly?" Dian Xiaosan was in disbelief.

"If I were just an ordinary Long Gui demon beast, I would indeed be waiting for death with my eyes closed. But how could you all forget that the Black Evil Sect is a demon cultivator force, and I am one too." The black Long Gui chuckled, and a jet-black qi surged from his body, pure demonic qi.

The wounds on his body healed rapidly, and his aura soared, almost breaking through the Level 5 threshold to reach Level 6.

The Returning Void Island Masters under his control also exuded strong demonic qi fluctuations, and their auras grew significantly stronger.

Seeing this scene, Lan Lan and Dian Xiaosan couldn't help but change their expressions and instinctively looked at Huangfu Jue, evidently taking their cue from him.

"Do you think having this group of Returning Void Puppets will be enough to defeat me?" Huangfu Jue cast a cold glance at the Returning Void Island Masters.

"You'll know if you try." The Long Gui chuckled, tapping his finger lightly.

The group of Returning Void Puppets ignited clusters of treasure light in their hands, ready to strike.

Just as the battle between the two sides was about to erupt, Gao Feng, severely wounded and on the brink of death, suddenly showed a rich flush on his cheeks like a fleeting revival, and his eyes turned blood-red, appearing as if in madness.

"Since I can't have it, then no one else shall either!" he shouted. This chapter was made possible by the community at *.

Gao Feng's entire body surged with mana in an abnormal frenzy, and his physical body, torn by coral, swelled violently. Large patches of golden light poured out from his orifices and wounds, seemingly out of control.

"This is bad, his Heart Demon is acting up, and he's about to self-destruct his Nascent Soul!" Huangfu Jue's eyes widened, and he disregarded the unclaimed Pill King Secret Manual, turning to retreat quickly.

In the next instant, a terrifying white light engulfed everything around, and a vast shockwave swept out, inundating the entire hall.

The powerful wind pressure ripped up the ground, rubble and smoke rushed outwards rapidly, as if propelled by an invisible wall, slamming hard against the surrounding walls like a tsunami.

The walls of the Inheritance Hall flickered with threads of golden light, remaining undamaged except for the floor.

The hall could withstand Gao Feng's self-destruction, but Huangfu Jue and the others could not. Their eardrums hurt from the roar, their heads spun with dizziness, and they were swept away like leaves in a storm, crashing heavily into the palace walls.

"What an astonishing power. It seems Gao Feng cultivated some sort of self-destruction secret technique, for even an ordinary Returning Void Nascent Soul self-destruct would not be this shocking! That Pill King Secret Manual better be alright. Damn it, if I'd known, I would have had Hua Zhi sneak in!" Outside the hall, Yuan Ming was shocked and greatly regretted.

At this moment, a figure flew out from the main doors of the hall; it was Dian Xiaosan.

He landed heavily on the ground not far from Yuan Ming, stones splattering, his body's bones crackling and breaking who knows how many ribs.

A mass of golden light immediately shot out from the dusty interior of the hall, revealing itself to be a golden book.

"The Pill King Secret Manual!" Yuan Ming's heart skipped a beat, and without thinking, he cast a spell to remove the Transformation Stone Talisman.

The heavily injured Dian Xiaosan hadn't realized what was happening when he felt a sharp pain on his forehead as the Pill King Secret Manual hit him, then fell into his arms.

Dian Xiaosan looked at the Pill King Secret Manual in bewilderment, quickly regaining his clarity, his heart filled with wild joy.

Having struggled so hard to obtain it to no avail, he never expected the Pill King Secret Manual to fall from the sky now.

He held the Pill King Secret Manual in his hands, and after scanning it with his Divine Sense, his face lit up with even greater joy.

The spirit light that had once faintly glowed on the classic had disappeared, and Dian Xiaosan could now feel that it could be stored within his storage magic tool.
