On the night of the full moon, as soon as the Young Palace Master of Guanghan Immortal Palace appeared, two groups of people arrived.
The group harboring murderous intent and the ambition to steal achievements includes Qing Yu, but let's not mention them; the other group, however, aroused suspicion.
"Hmm? They're actually making a move," Qing Yu said, puzzled.
Initially, having seen no killing intent from the four people in this group, Qing Yu had thought they might be friendly due to some affiliation Guanghan Immortal Palace had with an outside faction. But now, as soon as these four encountered the people of Guanghan Immortal Palace, they began to attack.
"Be careful!"
Bai Yun, the True Pill Realm elder accompanying Guanghan Immortal Palace, fluttered her sleeves, and a moonlight-like radiance enveloped the incoming Blade Energy, which burned fiercely like fireworks.
The Blade Energy, seeming to take shape from fireworks and filled with an explosive and violent force, was rendered silent and its fierceness dispersed upon contact with the moonlight veil, turning it gentle.
"Can 'Moon Dance Gauze' resolve my saber strike?" rumbled a middle-aged man, sweeping out the violent Sword Gang from his hands. The flames attached to it burst continuously, creating intense booming sounds.
Bai Yun's long sleeves danced, layer upon layer of gauze attaching to the Sword Gang, as she simultaneously urged the others, "It's the 'Fierce Tao Military Destruction Technique' from the Jiang Family. You all should leave quickly."
"The Jiang Family has appeared as well?" Far away, Qing Yu read Bai Yun's words in 'lip language,' expressing his surprise.
Qing Yu was certain that his eyesight hadn't failed him. Those four people previously showed no intention to kill, seemingly not there to attack anyone. But now, the elder from Guanghan Immortal Palace had declared that this was one of the Jiang Family's signature Martial Arts, the 'Fierce Tao Military Destruction Technique,' which was indeed surprising.
If they were from the Jiang Family, why did they show no killing intent before?
'Let's continue watching.' Qing Yu took a mental turn and kept his focus on this whether it was a real or feigned battle.
At this moment, those from Guanghan Immortal Palace were in grave danger.
Perhaps being isolated from the outside world for so long, Guanghan Immortal Palace might be unaware of the dangers in the outside world at this time.
In the past, the most powerful individuals in worldly society would be at the Divine Origin Realm at most, with those in the True Pill Realm rarely taking action, and sightings of those in the Divinity Realm were even scarcer.
However, in recent years, with frequent major events stirring up trouble, a tacit understanding among the various factions led to True Pill Realm experts also beginning to move about. Now, True Pill Realm masters were not as rare as before in worldly society.
Moreover, those in the Divinity Realm had become much more active than in the past.
Although the strength of this elder from Guanghan Immortal Palace was formidable, suppressing the saber-wielding opponent, she was alone, while the enemy had four True Pill Realm masters.
"Fierce Soldiers March."
Three Fiery Flame Saber Gangs carved charred trails on the ground, rushing towards their target with lethal intent.
"Zzzt—"
With a slight sound, a disciple of Guanghan Palace, who was trying to escape, was sliced in half by a Saber Gang, his body falling apart alongside the appearance of the charred trails.
"Min Jing, junior sister!"
"Sister!"
The remaining four disciples of Guanghan Palace couldn't help but cry out in grief.
Martial Artists of the Innate Realm were just too vulnerable under the hands of the True Pill Realm; perhaps they could be killed instantly by just being grazed by the aftereffects.
"My junior sisters, you go first."
One of the women about to escape showed a determined look on her face and shouted to the others.
"She must be your target, it seems she's thinking about using a forbidden technique to buy some time," Qing Yu said, watching the woman who had spoken.
Yun Wuyue's eyesight was not as good as Qing Yu's, but through Qing Yu's description, she also had a rough understanding of the situation. The Young Palace Master of Guanghan Immortal Palace, who now called herself "Ling Yanshui," would be close to death if she used a forbidden technique.
If she died, the so-called 'stealing Martial Arts' would naturally be nothing more than empty talk.
Yun Wuyue's hands clenched unconsciously, but she still said calmly, "The place of the incident is not far from the secret manual portal of Guanghan Immortal Palace. By now, Guanghan Immortal Palace may have already found out about the attack on their disciple and is in the process of opening the portal. Even if you make a move, you may not succeed. Let's wait!"
The secret realm of Guanghan Immortal Palace was left behind by its past ancestors, not created by the warriors currently in the palace. The strongest in the palace now was only at the Divinity Realm, and they could not open the portal as easily as the Strongest.
At this moment, the four people from the Jiang family must have also realized the urgency of the situation and started burning their essence blood for a combined strike.
"Quadruple Military Destruction Technique."
The four unleashed their full power in a combined strike, encircling Bai Yun with a ring of fiery flames, as Sword Gangs assaulted her from all sides.
Bai Yun bit down on her silver teeth, her True Qi bloomed around her like moonlight, bursting forth with fury, "Moonlight Over Nine Provinces."
A perfect full moon rose, and the moonlight swept down, frost congealing in the void.
The four Fiery Flame Saber Gangs withered under the supremely yin and cold moonlight. Although the Saber Gangs were not completely dispelled, the only result of the strike was to leave four burnt marks on the pure white flowing fairy dress that Bai Yun was wearing.
Their combined strike did not achieve the expected effect, but the four members of the Jiang family did not feel discouraged. The leader lunged forward, quickly subduing Ling Yanshui, who was about to use the Forbidden Technique.
"Miss, please forgive my presumption," said Jiang Huai Zhen softly, as his True Qi surged into Ling Yanshui's body, scattering her gathered True Qi and simultaneously immobilizing her.
"Bai Yun!" Bai Yun, who had just burnt her essence blood to block the combined strike, cried out in shock, attempting to stop Jiang Huai Zhen.
However, a sensation of energy depletion made her True Qi falter, leaving her powerless.
Her previous move had drained all her True Qi, and the aftereffects of burning essence blood had turned Bai Yun's face deathly pale; she had lost the ability to fight.
"Let's go."
Jiang Huai Zhen, seizing Ling Yanshui, sped off, with the other three quickly following.
In the distant sky, the moonlight gathered again, and the Guanghan Palace, resembling an immortal palace in the heavens, seemed to be re-emerging.
Qing Yu said to Yun Wuyue, "Wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."
A dark golden figure shot out and vanished in the blink of an eye. Despite the clear and bright moonlight of the night, it failed to reveal Qing Yu's shadow.
The moonlight, like water, shone on the ground, silver-white as frost. Yet, within this moonlit scene, there was a shadow that seemed to become one with it, persistently flying through.
That shadow was Qing Yu.
After clashing with Xuan Du, Qing Yu had directly faced the "Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture" and had combated Xuan Yuan One Qi, which led to a new understanding of the "Harmonizing Light with Dust."
This absolute skill of the Taoist School was actually similar to the "Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture" of the Supreme Taoist Sect. Both were about becoming one with heaven and earth, where the Qi Mechanism melded with all things.
The difference was that the "Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture" aimed even higher, and merging with heaven and earth was just the tip of the iceberg of the scripture. Though just the tip, it far transcended "Harmonizing Light with Dust." If Qing Yu used "Harmonizing Light with Dust" in front of Xuan Du, it would be laughably inferior.
However, this did not hinder Qing Yu's improvement of "Harmonizing Light with Dust." He integrated his understanding while facing Xuan Yuan One Qi into "Harmonizing Light with Dust," which now made it even more mystical than before.
