Bang!
Huang Haozhe and the other two were all severely shaken, as if hit by a massive air wave, their Spiritual Power became chaotic and uncontrollable, their bodies slumping down.
"Not good! It's a Divine Soul attack!"
Huang Haozhe concentrated his Power of the Divine Soul, barely resisting the sound wave attack.
Seeing Tan Xingkong and Hu Ningxiang, both slumped on the ground, their Protective Spirit Shields dissipating, foaming at the mouth, unable to get up.
"How dare you!"
Huang Haozhe just shouted.
Suddenly a sharp pain struck his mind again.
Countless distracting thoughts emerged in his heart, transforming into layers of illusion.
The hardships before sect entry, setbacks during cultivation, rejections in courtship.
Various regrets and unwillingness, transformed into Spirit-Burning Demon Flame, devouring and burning his Divine Soul.
"Ah! It hurts! I admit defeat!"
"Dang!" With a sound, his Bronze Bell Magical Treasure lost control and reverted to its original form, dropping to the ground.
Huang Haozhe clutched his head, rolling on the ground in agony.
Shen Xuan slightly waved his long sleeves.
The Bronze Bell, White Jade Fan, and White Cloud Cloth, three pieces of Defensive Magical Treasures, were all collected into his sleeves.
The surrounding cultivators all showed looks of shock.
This Shen Talisman Master was simply too strong!
Fighting three at once, in just a few breaths, he easily defeated the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Celestial Skill Sect.
"Ling Daoist friend, I won."
Ling Baoshi took out a Storage Pouch, put in a hundred thousand Spirit Stones in front of Shen Xuan, and offered it with both hands.
Throughout, Ling Baoshi hadn't said a word.
Only now did he realize how astonishing Shen Xuan's combat power was.
Without even deploying his Magical Treasures.
With just one move of Sound Wave Spiritual Attack, he defeated the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Celestial Skill Sect, leaving them unable to stand.
At this moment, he secretly celebrated.
For not making a rash move.
Otherwise, his end wouldn't be much better than Huang Haozhe's.
"Shen Xuan, since you've won, you should take the Ding Family with you and flee away."
"Why did you take our Magical Treasures?"
After Shen Xuan withdrew.
Huang Haozhe focused his Soul Power, struggling to extinguish the [Spirit-Burning Demon Flame] in his Sea of Consciousness.
This time, Huang Haozhe lost a lot of Divine Soul power.
It would take three to five years to recover.
Shen Xuan sneered coldly.
"If you dare to challenge me, you must have the determination to accept failure."
"Were it not for the fact that we are both from Song Country's Daoist Sect, you would have perished and faded away by now."
"What's wrong with taking a few of your Magical Treasures?"
"If dissatisfied, feel free to fight!"
Shen Xuan coldly glanced over Huang Haozhe, Tan Xingkong, and Hu Ningxiang.
None dared to meet his eyes.
The Cultivation Realm is actually very simple.
He who has the bigger fist is right.
The Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from Red Rainbow Sect actively challenged Shen Xuan, and it was three against one.
Defeated easily by Shen Xuan, who took their Magical Treasures.
This disgrace, even if the True Masters of Red Rainbow Sect came personally, wouldn't affect Shen Xuan.
After all, the True Masters of Red Rainbow Sect couldn't degrade themselves to spar with Shen Xuan.
Beneath the True Master, Shen Xuan is unmatched.
Above the True Master, Master Cold Jade would handle it.
Master Cold Jade's power is comparable to a Golden Core True Master.
Unless the Sect Leader of Red Rainbow Sect comes personally.
No one in Red Rainbow Sect is a match for Master Cold Jade.
In Shen Xuan's view.
Huang Haozhe and the others were like meals presented to him.
He wouldn't refuse to enjoy them.
The three Defensive Magical Treasures can be sold for thirty to forty thousand Spirit Stones.
Much faster than arduously making talismans to earn Spirit Stones!
The method might be common, but its utility is good.
...
Cyan Dragon Bay Market, right area, meeting hall.
He Jiangwei, You Moucai, and Liu Wangjing sat drinking tea.
Appearing peaceful, but internally anxious.
Soon enough.
A Communication Talisman flew in.
Liu Wangjing caught it and laughed, saying, "Brother He, Brother You, that Shen Xuan has clashed with Huang Haozhe of Celestial Skill Sect!"
He Jiangwei and You Moucai both breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them still had shadows from the battle back then.
Never wanting to face this calamity named Shen Xuan again.
Upon receiving the message of Shen Xuan's impending arrival at Cyan Dragon Bay, the three urgently sought aid from Red Rainbow Sect.
Hearing that the Battle Hall expert, the sect's Core Formation seed Ling Baoshi came to take charge, they felt slightly reassured.
Soon, Communication Talismans flew in one after another.
Shen Xuan discovered Ling Baoshi hidden.
Shen Xuan forced Ling Baoshi into a bet.
Shen Xuan utilized Divine Soul Attack Skills, defeating Huang Haozhe and the others in three breaths.
Shen Xuan took the Magical Treasures of Huang Haozhe's group and Ling Baoshi's wager.
Shen Xuan finally left with the Ding Family people...
Receiving the last Communication Talisman, the hearts of the three finally steadied.
"Ha! Those members of Celestial Skill Sect are overestimating themselves, humiliating themselves. Let's see what face they have to show off in front of us!"
Liu Wangjing suddenly laughed.
It's a peculiar mindset.
He had lost face in front of Shen Xuan.
Yet Celestial Skill Sect repeated the mistake, which gave him a sense of refreshment.
It's not that he is too weak, but Shen Xuan is too strong!
It was true twenty years ago.
And even truer twenty years later.
He Jiangwei and You Moucai both smiled slightly.
Their mindset was just like Liu Wangjing's.
Even the renowned Ling Baoshi of the sect decisively accepted defeat, not daring to fight him.
Their loss to Shen Xuan was no big deal!
"Hahaha... Those three of Celestial Skill Sect are really foolish!"
"Didn't even consider that if Shen Xuan lacked power, how could he dare to venture into Cyan Dragon Bay alone!"
"Things turned out well. Lost face, Magical Treasures gone, let's see how they'll face us afterward."
Liu Wangjing ridiculed loudly.
Clearing years of pent-up frustration in his heart.
"So what? You're mocking with a fifty-step-a-hundred-step distance?"
A cold voice came through.
Then, a red Escape Light swiftly paused in front of Liu Wangjing.
"Brother Ling!"
He Jiangwei and You Moucai both stood up to salute.
Ling Baoshi picked up a teapot, drank it directly from the spout.
Then he sighed lightly.
"Alas, Shen Xuan is indeed a person of profound cultivation and superb skills, worthy of being the direct disciple of a True Master from the Cyan Cloud Sect."
"If one day he forms a Core, he will surely make a name for himself in Song Country."
Ling Baoshi shook his head and sighed repeatedly.
In this sect mission, facing such a powerful Shen Xuan and being relentlessly pressured by him, his Dao heart was shaken.
An unstable Dao heart can affect breakthrough progress.
"I will now return to the sect and retreat for rigorous cultivation."
"Take care of yourselves and do not provoke Shen Xuan any further."
He Jiangwei and the others repeatedly agreed.
In their hearts, they all muttered.
Now, they dared not provoke Shen Xuan.
It was heard that Shen Xuan was coming to Cyan Dragon Bay, and they all hid in the discussion hall, not daring to go out.
...
Cyan Dragon Bay Market, Celestial Skill Sect discussion hall.
Huang Haozhe, Tan Xingkong, and Hu Ningxiang had gloomy expressions.
The atmosphere was heavy.
There was deathly silence all around.
Nobody knew how much time had passed.
Huang Haozhe suddenly sighed deeply.
"Report truthfully to the sect!"
So many cultivators present witnessed their magical combat with their own eyes.
Even if they wanted to hide it, it couldn't be hidden.
This departure from the sect, and a reputation of a hundred years, was ruined overnight.
In this magical combat defeat, Huang Haozhe had to bear the main responsibility.
He should not have rashly challenged without clearly assessing the opponent's strength.
However, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't understand.
Shen Xuan had just stepped into the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.
He seemed to only be at the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer.
Yet his combat strength was terrifyingly strong.
From beginning to end, Shen Xuan had not even deployed a Magical Treasure.
No one believed that a direct disciple of a large sect like Shen Xuan wouldn't have a handy Magical Treasure.
Obviously, Shen Xuan had full confidence that he could defeat the three of them within moments.
There was simply no need to deploy a Magical Treasure.
"Shen Xuan's strength is far beyond our understanding."
"In the magical combat, he did not exert his full strength."
Huang Haozhe's face turned somber, his voice bitter, as he looked at Tan Xingkong and Hu Ningxiang.
"He only used a sound wave spiritual attack against you two."
"As for me, he added a strange divine soul demon flame attack."
At the thought of the terrifying Spirit-Burning Demon Flame, Huang Haozhe couldn't help but show a trace of fear.
If Shen Xuan hadn't stopped.
His divine soul would have been completely incinerated by the Spirit-Burning Demon Flame.
Turning him into a soulless person, akin to an ordinary idiot.
"Senior Brother Huang is right, Shen Xuan still had more power."
Tan Xingkong and Hu Ningxiang unanimously agreed.
The three looked at each other, unable to hide the shock in their hearts.
Empty-handed, with just an odd cry, he could knock down the three of them.
Causing their spiritual power to go chaotic, their bodies to collapse to the ground, and lose the ability to engage in magical combat.
Such means, they had never heard of.
Huang Haozhe was still at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.
Before Shen Xuan, he was defenseless.
This also proved that Shen Xuan's power of the divine soul far surpassed Huang Haozhe.
"At the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, and with such combat power."
"Once he breaks through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, he will be unmatched in the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Huang Haozhe murmured.
"If he forms a Core..."
Thinking of this, he shook his head.
That is something many years down the line.
It's not something he has to worry about.
Previously, he felt disdain from Shen Xuan toward him, and he was unhappy about it.
But now, all the dissatisfaction had long since dissipated into thin air.
Only deep fear and helplessness remained.
Such a monstrous talent, who had remained anonymous until the age of sixty, hidden in the Cyan Dragon Bay Market all along.
Truly a master of hiding one's strength!
He would rather face a demon cultivator than see Shen Xuan again.
"Where did Shen Xuan go with the Ding Family people?"
Huang Haozhe asked.
"To the Dragon Gate Market under Cyan Cloud Sect."
Tan Xingkong replied.
"I thought so. It's the nearest."
Huang Haozhe said faintly: "Be careful in the future, don't target the Ding Family cultivators anymore."
"Escort those remaining eight elderly cultivators of the Ding Family ceremoniously to Dragon Gate Market."
...
At this moment.
The elite of the Ding Family, each flying on their artifacts, followed behind the two spaceships, heading towards Dragon Gate Market.
A journey of three thousand miles, reached in just one day.
Along the way, the Ding Family cultivators frequently looked towards Shen Xuan, who was riding the Golden Claw Divine Eagle Corpse Beast in front.
Most showing an expression of respect and gratitude.
In their hearts, Shen Xuan was not only of noble status but also the savior of the entire Ding Family clan.
It was heard that Shen Xuan pleaded with his master, intending to choose more than a dozen people from the Ding Family's Immortal Seeds to enter the Cyan Cloud Sect.
In the future, they could reside at the Tier Three Spiritual Vein of Cold Jade Peak in the Cyan Cloud Sect.
That is a dream cultivation field even for the sect's Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
Even though Ding Yijin and Ding Yixuan had conflicts and disputes with Shen Xuan at this time.
Many among them would choose to stand by Shen Xuan's side.
The inheritance of a cultivation clan, aside from the propagation of bloodlines, has always adhered strictly to unalterable family rules, family precepts, and family culture.
Whatever the circumstance, ingratitude is always despised by the world.
Moreover, Shen Xuan's main wife is a woman from the Ding Family.
Though of mortal birth, she also carries the Ding Family's bloodline.
In a way, the Ding Family cultivators are the in-laws of Shen Xuan.
It's not far-fetched to say they are family.
Otherwise, why would Shen Xuan repeatedly lend a helping hand to the Ding Family?
Even at the risk of offending the Red Rainbow Sect and Celestial Skill Sect, engaging in fierce combat.
Upon reaching Dragon Gate Market.
The Ding Family people rested briefly.
Then boarded the sect's spaceship of the Cyan Cloud Sect, flying to Qing Yun Immortal City.
Lv Zhengying, who had received Shen Xuan's communication talisman in advance, had been waiting here for a long time.
He directed several sect servants to welcome and arrange accommodations for the Ding Family cultivators.
As for the matters of selecting Immortal Seeds to enter the Cyan Cloud Sect, raising spirit fish, planting spirit medicine, and others.
They could only be implemented after Shen Xuan reports back to Master Cold Jade.
Shen Xuan stayed in Qing Yun Immortal City, accompanying Ding Yuyao for a few days.
Upon just returning to the sect.
The sect's Law Enforcement Hall came knocking.
