Chapter Eighty-Five: The Hundred Beasts' Assault Verbal Confrontation

  "Our sect was originally located in a remote area, with no other Qi-practicing sects within hundreds of millions of miles. We thought that all the good things belonged to our sect, but unexpectedly, one day a natural seal appeared on the back mountain of our sect, and countless powerful beings swarmed in. Our ancestors had disputes with them, so it didn't fall into our hands." The Qi-practicing cultivator who was skilled in divination said in a low voice: "This naturally born and earth-nurtured treasure is said to be possessed by those with virtue, but in reality, it's still about whose power is greater, who can get it. Even if one has the greatest power, they will still have to fight with others for it."

  Wang Guang listened and fell into deep thought, a long time passed before he came back to his senses. "Perhaps there is a great power controlling this world, and we are just ordinary people in it."

  The two of them exchanged a few words, and then the qigong master turned around and left. Wang Guang returned to the room once again and continued to instruct the woman with the purple flower on her head.

  This time, the training made him go all out, and he used all sorts of whips, wax, and restraint drugs on the woman. After seven or eight days of torture, he finally managed to shake the purple flower on her head. According to Wang Guang's calculations, if he continued to train for another three to five days, he would definitely be able to pluck that purple flower from her head.

  After taming the woman that day, he prepared to combine the red copper together, thereby forming a new magic treasure, Red Copper Sand.

  A circle of glittering red copper gathered in front of him three feet away, swirling and rotating, the red copper colliding, emitting a burst of crackling sounds, a thread of firelight flickering, with thousands of golden lights dancing, and within the flag array, tens of millions of golden energy surged towards the red copper.

  On the crimson copper seal, hundreds of prohibition marks flowed in with a breath, and the crimson copper obtained the prohibition union. Each one merged together.

  Thousands of red coppers melted together, and in just a short moment of fragrance, it was completed. Finally, Wang Guanglian sprayed several streams of magical power to imprint his own heart on it, and the treasure was considered successfully refined.

  The newly refined red copper sand is unpredictable, separating into grains the size of a thousand fists, each weighing a thousand catties; when combined, it forms a single infant fist-sized bead that can be thrown to the ground, only to blast out a seven or eight zhang deep pit.

  "Today, I've finally refined the Law Treasure. It's time to find that person and cause them trouble." As he gazed at the swirling copper sand in front of him, Wang Guang couldn't help but think of the Qi Refining cultivator who had clashed with him several times before, and suddenly, a murderous intent arose within him.

  Just as he was thinking of ways to get rid of that Qi cultivator, a mournful whistle sounded outside the city. Wang Guang heard the whistle and felt something was off. "Could it be that those Lingtong Dao people have brought people to fight against the Liedi Dao people?" As soon as he thought that this whistle was a special treasure given by the Liedi Dao people to everyone, if there were major events that needed support, throwing out this treasure would allow Qi cultivators within a radius of ten thousand miles to hear the sound.

  Thinking of the worst, Wang Guang didn't dare to stay and wanted to leave immediately. But then another servant came in. "Master Taoist, there is someone outside who wants to see you. He says he's a member of the Luo family and hopes you can help him."

  "Tell him that I'm busy now and we'll talk about it later." As soon as he heard it was someone from the Luo family, Wang Guang's heart skipped a beat, feeling like something was going to happen again. But when he thought carefully, that vague feeling flew away, leaving no trace.

  He had just received the order and was about to leave when Wang Guang changed his mind and said, "Tell him to wait for a while, there is a strong enemy outside the city, I need to go and block them, we'll talk about his matter later." After that, he didn't care what the Luo family people thought, this guy put away the eighteen iron flags, and shrunk the red copper sand to the size of a grain of rice, putting it under his tongue. Then he spat out a mouthful of green smoke, wrapped himself in it, and rushed straight out of the city.

  Within a few breaths, he arrived outside the city and followed the source of the sound in his memory. He flew west for hundreds of miles and saw dozens of Qi practitioners, including Liandi Taoists and Lingtong Taoists, fighting against another group of Qi practitioners riding various demonic beasts. Wang Guang quickly dispersed the green smoke and landed on the ground, digging a hole to hide inside. Fortunately, the battle was so intense that no one noticed him.

  Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Guang carefully observed those enemies.

  Only these enemies have ridden the five-flower deer, also riding the fierce tiger black bear, treading snakes, sitting cranes, and carrying eagles. There are almost dozens of different kinds of monsters.

  A five-colored deer's head shone with a brilliant light, and precious stones fell from above, shaking the earth violently; A fierce tiger spat out golden energy, transforming into giant axes and swords, while a black bear absorbed the aura of the mine, surrounded by raging winds; There was a giant snake spitting out poisonous snake venom, which corroded the rocks when it landed, destroying human treasures; A white crane danced, scattering endless red light, which emitted countless toxic fumes; And an old eagle's sharp claws flew about, while a mischievous monkey wielded a staff, striking wildly at close range.

  Looking at the people of the Lidi Road, these people either cast spells or wielded magical artifacts to block their enemies one by one. The magic power of those who cast spells was thick and heavy, with fire tongues, poisonous dragons, and boulders suddenly appearing in mid-air, whistling through the air and forcing people to dodge; the technique of controlling magical artifacts was fierce, with flying swords, flying knives, and stones rolling through the air, exploding with a single touch, causing casualties with just a graze.

  The two sides fought fiercely, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. The attacker wanted to seize the land and avenge their hatred, while the defender wanted to protect their territory and not let others get it. You say you are right, I say I am right. In the midst of the struggle, there were also verbal debates, with eloquent words stirring up emotions, regardless of whether they were effective or not, just venting their feelings.

  Just as Wang Guang was hiding underneath, more than a dozen Qi practitioners arrived to support the Earth Splitting Sect members. For a time, relying on their numbers, they were able to suppress the invading Qi practitioners and gain the upper hand.

  In no time, two Qi practitioners were fighting in the sky above Wang Guang. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Guang opened his mouth and spat out a stream of red copper sand, which transformed into a golden light that heavily struck the Qi practitioner riding the fierce tiger. With a loud crackling sound, the golden light flashed by, and that Qi practitioner was smashed to pieces. The blocks of flesh and blood were ignited by the flames on the red copper sand and could not fall to the ground before they turned into flying ashes and dispersed in the air.

  The fierce tiger saw its master die, but instead of avenging him, it turned and ran away. Wang Guang and the other Qi-refining cultivator didn't give chase, each carrying their magic treasures as they rushed to surround and kill another Qi-refining cultivator.

  "Wang Dao, be careful. These practitioners are from the Bai Shou Sect. They resent us for annexing the Da Qi Imperial Court, which is why they ambushed us today and killed three of our companions." A practitioner beside him said with a face full of hatred: "Let's take action, don't show any mercy."

  As they spoke, the Qi practitioners of the Hundred Beasts Sect saw that one of their own sect members had died and suddenly scattered in all directions. Who would dare to stay? Each of them chose a target and chased after them with their heads down, only thinking about killing their opponent, not mentioning snatching away Dao techniques or divine abilities, getting one or two pieces of treasure or materials was already very satisfying.

  One side fled and the other chased after them. In the end, except for one unlucky guy who flew too slowly and got killed, all the Qi-practicing disciples of the Hundred Beasts Sect escaped without a trace.

  "Boundless Heaven Venerate! Today, the Hundred Beasts Sect secretly plots against us, and tomorrow other sects will come to secretly plot against us. Who knows, they might even unite together to deal with us." Just as everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures, Wang Guang suddenly spoke up.

  "Don't worry about this, I observed that most of the Qi-refining disciples from the Hundred Beasts Sect who came this time have not experienced cruel battles, and some of their methods are quite immature. Those Qi-refining disciples who fought with us before are nowhere to be seen today, I think they were either killed by lightning during the dark clouds or had other things that prevented them from coming here. As for others who have had dealings with us, it's also a similar situation. Moreover, if they had enough power, why would they run away? A few sects' experienced Qi-refining disciples joined forces, and those running away are people like us." Lidi Dao Ren said with a nonchalant wave of his hand.

  "I hope so." The crowd didn't quite believe the words of the Earth Splitting Taoist, and each furrowed their brow in thought. The Spirit Child Taoist furrowed his brow, then let out a sigh and led over a dozen Qi Practitioners to leave first.

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable! Lidi Daoist friend, Lingtong Daoist is not satisfied with your distribution of the treasure, and has some misgivings in his heart." Wang Guang thought for a moment, and without hiding anything, directly told the story of how Lingtong Daoist had treated them to a banquet those days. He actually knew that Lidi Daoist must have planted a mole by Lingtong Daoist's side, and today he spoke out these words to make the other think he was grateful to him, so as to avoid being secretly dealt with in the future.

  "Haha! Wang Daoyou is indeed refreshing." Lidi Dao Ren casually swept a glance at Wang Guang. "I heard that you got a treasure from Lingtong Dao Ren, have you handed it over to me?" As he spoke, a surge of killing intent wrapped around Wang Guang's body.

  His body was shrouded in a thick aura of death, causing Wang Guang to involuntarily take a cold breath. To think that just over a hundred days ago, the dark clouds had pressed down on them, and a burst of thunder and lightning had already cleansed the bloody aura from everyone's bodies, yet now, the Lidi Daoist was once again surrounded by such a heavy aura of death. Who knew how many people he had killed in order to accumulate so much aura of death in such a short period of time?

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable! I'm pleased, but my fellow daoist isn't. This treasure was obtained by me through struggles and fights with others, it's for my own use, why would I exchange it? You're trying to trade something you can't even use today for the thing I cherish the most, do you think I'd make such a transaction?" Wang Guang sneered, not fearing the Earth Shattering Daoist.

  "Alright! If it can't be done, I'll just leave and return to my sect. I'll use the secret room's Wàn Zài Kōng Qīng to cultivate in seclusion, push my skills to the top, and become a Dan Master as soon as possible." He thought to himself, "This guy wants to go back and cultivate in seclusion, which will also save him from wasting too much time outside."

  The Earth Splitting Daoist didn't know what was going on in Wang Guang's mind, and seeing how stiff his words were, he wasn't angry, but instead burst into loud laughter: "I knew you kid had some guts, speaking and acting without considering the consequences. Today I've formally acknowledged it." After finishing speaking, he withdrew his killing intent and asked seriously: "Do you think my distribution of treasures is reasonable? Do you have any complaints in your heart?"
