Chapter 118: A Gale Rises Amidst a Sea of Confusion

  Wang Guang watched anxiously from the side, shouting loudly: "That little brat threw out the worst one, he has more good stuff on him." As he spoke, he urged his magic power, and a dark thunderbolt fell towards Luo's family practitioners like raindrops, only to regret that the power of the dark thunder was too small, unable to blast them to death immediately.

  "It's a pity that the materials for refining the yin thunder with the help of the earth lung fire are lacking, otherwise, once you refine it, one strike can blast this turtle shell open." The evil monk, seeing that he couldn't break through after a long time, began to complain in a low voice.

  "Don't be impatient, we're only short of a few materials now. Once we've collected enough, I'll refine them and give you some. Then, you can do whatever you want, wherever you want. Do you still need to be like this?" Wang Guang snorted coldly, but his mind was actually on the transportation of the Law Door, not the Yin Lei treasure. Otherwise, in three to five years, he would have collected enough materials to refine a powerful thunder fire for himself.

  "Is your cultivation about to break through the sixth layer?" A wicked monk on the side threw a Wú Xiāng Shén Léi and said in a low voice, "After killing this kid, we'll return to our sect and use the Wàn Zǎi Kōng Qīng in the secret room to speed up our cultivation, hoping to achieve Golden Elixir as soon as possible."

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable! Now I just hope to resolve this smoothly, otherwise even the best plan would be nothing but empty fantasy." Wang Guang saw that the treasure light on Luo's body was shaking violently, and while reminding the evil monk to intensify his attack, he took out sandalwood incense to worship the long banner. The long banner rotated, spewing out a mouthful of powder smoke that condensed into a red glow, which twisted on the banner, and if not for Wang Guang's control, it would have flown out already.

  More and more people besieged Luo's Qi practitioners, just as Wang Guang thought that the opponent would die here this time. The ground shook violently, and a sand column rushed into the sky, with billions of yellow sand covering the sky and earth. A violent wind suddenly appeared out of thin air, and the wind rolled up the yellow sand to form a tornado. Hundreds of tornadoes wandered in the air. Even if it was a Qi practitioner who was about to condense into a Golden Elixir, he would be sucked in by the tornado and could not escape.

  It just so happened that a tornado was rolling in towards Wang Guang and the others, who would have time to surround and kill the Luo family's practitioners? One by one, they turned tail and ran without looking back, only regretting that their parents had not given birth to two more legs. Only regretting that they had learned any escape techniques at all.

  "Run!" Wang Guang saw that things were going badly and didn't dare to stay here any longer. He casually threw away the red light on the long banner, then pulled the evil monk and took off running.

  。

  "Halt! You two demons, don't think of escaping, stay and fight a battle of 300 rounds with the young master!" The Ro family's Qi practitioner shouted loudly as he saw Wang Guang and others fleeing.

  "Get out of the way, monk! I'll take care of this little brat!" The evil monk was enraged by the other's shouting and turned to continue fighting. Wang Guang dragged him away, running far into the distance.

  "Bald donkey, don't be impulsive. You came to help me kill people, where can I let you throw your life away for nothing? Just now, three more Qi-refining cultivators were pulled in and still haven't come out until now. Moreover..."

  Before he could finish speaking, a sand column suddenly shot up into the sky from in front of them. The two didn't think much of it and planned to fly over it. But unexpectedly, the sand column split open on both sides, revealing a massive sandworm dozens of meters in size. As soon as the sandworm emerged, it opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of yellow smoke. Some cultivators who were too slow to dodge were enveloped by the yellow smoke, and in the blink of an eye, they suffered a disastrous fate.

  "What's so special about these sand worms? I couldn't even kill that turtle shell, and now I can't even kill you?" Wang Guang was enraged. His two hands grasped the air, and a pair of large blue hands flew out, tearing at the sand worm. The sand worm let out a screeching cry in pain, but unfortunately it couldn't escape Wang Guang's grasp. In the next breath, the over ten zhang long sand worm was torn in half by the demon, with endless yellow sand pouring out from its body. Instantly, countless yellow smoke clouds were generated.

  The yellow smoke was blown by the strong wind and spread everywhere, and for a time more practitioners were polluted with their treasures, one of them fell to the ground.

  Wang Guang had just killed the sandworm when the tornado arrived at the location of Luo's Qi Practitioner. In the blink of an eye, it swept him in and he vanished without a trace.

  Wang Guang and the evil monk didn't have time to check if the Luo family's Qi practitioners were dead or alive, they just relied on their memories to frantically escape outward. The tornado was getting stronger and stronger, some yellow sand hit the protective Dao technique, only hitting the light shield, which shook violently, as if thousands of thunderbolts were exploding on it.

  The endless sand pillars and tornadoes finally subsided after more than an hour of wreaking havoc. Wang Guang and the evil monk parted the treasure light and defensive Dao techniques to observe their surroundings, only to see that the entire sky and earth were desolate, with endless resentment wandering in the desert, which was generated by those practitioners who had been killed by the yellow sand.

  "Infinite Heaven's Sovereign! This ancient artifact is indeed too powerful!" Looking around, seeing that there were less than a thousand Qi-refining cultivators in the sky, Wang Guang couldn't help but feel envious of the ancient artifact: "Just by being born, it already has such power. If it's truly unleashed, I wonder how strong it would be."

  "Don't be delusional, even if the ancient treasure falls into our hands, we won't have the ability to keep it." The evil monk glared at Wang Guang with disdain, although he was greedy for the treasure, but now he was much clearer-headed than Wang Guang. "Look over there, dozens of alchemists are using their skills to detect other cultivators, they're probably searching for the ancient treasure." He pointed into the distance as he spoke.

  Following the evil monk's directions, Wang Guang saw that the four Dan masters around him were each displaying their skills to detect all the remaining Qi-refining cultivators. None of the Qi-refining cultivators dared to resist, even those who were about to condense their Golden Dans looked very honest and allowed these Dan masters to inspect them.

  A Taoist priest released a ball of green fire that circled around Wang Guang and the others, then waved his hand to signal them to leave. Wang Guang had intended to stay behind and use the Wan Gui banner to absorb the endless resentment and the souls of the numerous practitioners, but was stopped by the evil monk beside him.

  "If you stay here any longer, some of these Dan masters will definitely use their methods to get rid of you." The evil monk said in a low voice.

  "It won't come to that! I'm just collecting things nobody wants, not searching for ancient treasures. What can they do to me? You're worrying too much!"

  Wang Guang did not believe the evil monk's words, and with a swing of his mighty banner, he sought to sweep away the grievances and lingering spirits that filled the air.

  "You two, leave quickly. You can't take away anything from this ten million li of quicksand, not even these grievances." Just as Wang Guang was about to wave his banner and absorb the grievances, a black-robed Taoist suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

  A fierce aura pressed down on Wang Guang, making him feel as if he was trapped in an endless ocean, battered by giant waves. Fortunately, this feeling disappeared instantly, so it didn't make him lose face.

  "Maitreya Buddha! We're leaving now." A wicked monk beside him, seeing Wang Guang's reluctance, hastily pulled him and flew away in the distance. As for that black-robed Dan Master, he didn't even put what just happened to heart, for him, driving away two low-level Qi Refining Cultivators was nothing at all. If there weren't other Dan Masters around, he would have slapped Wang Guang to death with one palm a long time ago.

  "This Dan Master's aura is much stronger than those in the sect." Wang Guang said in a deep voice after taking a deep breath. "Let's not think about these annoying things, go find Nong Yu Daoist, she must be hiding something from us for releasing killing aura on me."

  "Heh heh! If I were that Jade Maiden, I wouldn't have appeared in front of you. This monk thinks she must have been hiding something when she taught us the calculation technique back then. Otherwise, with your and my aptitude, it's impossible we couldn't learn it." The evil monk next to him was still reeling from the recent series of events, and his words were a jumbled mess.

  Wang Guang gave the evil monk a cold glance, too lazy to bother with him. He just lowered his head and pondered why the Jade Maiden had released her killing aura towards him, and whether the Luo family's Qi cultivator was really dead in the dragon whirlwind. "It's just a pity that Dan Shifu drove them away, otherwise it would be good to search carefully and have some peace of mind."

  After leaving the quicksand area, neither of them knew where to go for a while. Finally, the evil monk said in a low voice: "Why don't we just return to the sect? Whether that Luo family boy is dead or alive, and whether he will come to take revenge on us in the future, it's probably something that won't happen until a hundred years later. As for that jade-playing Taoist nun, I have no way of finding her either. I reckon you don't either. Let's just assume she died in the quicksand area."

  After hearing the evil monk's words, Wang Guang had no choice but to agree. After all, he no longer had the soul of the Luo family on him, and if he wanted to use the Blood Light Pursuit Soul Technique, there was no material, it couldn't succeed at all, apart from this, did he have any other means to search for it?

  With a decision made, the two of them didn't delay any further. After identifying their directions, they each wrapped themselves in a brilliant light and flew towards the Qingfeng mountain range.

  The two returned to the Qingfeng Mountains, and on their way back, they chose a secluded route, but were actually annoyed by the large number of Qi-refining practitioners in Jinzhou who blocked the road and robbed them of their treasures.

  Although the two chose a remote route, they still encountered dozens of waves of robbers on the road. When they met these people, the two didn't say a word, one scattered chaotic thunderbolts, and the other performed a powerful grab. Those who were lucky enough could escape with their lives, while those who were unlucky would be directly absorbed by Wang Guang's filthy long sleeve, losing both body and soul, falling into an eternal abyss of no rebirth.

  It so happened that on this day, the two of them passed by a mountain peak. The mountain peak was exceptionally beautiful, with several times more concentrated spiritual energy than elsewhere, causing the two to involuntarily stop in their tracks.

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable! Let's take a rest here before continuing on our journey. I see that there are ferocious beasts roaming about in these mountains, let's go hunt for some meat to eat. These past few days of eating those medicinal pills have made me feel queasy." The two chose a mountain valley, and coincidentally, there was a stream running through it, so they decided to rest there for a while.

  "Hurry up, hurry up. I'll go to the river to catch some fish for us to eat, and also take a look around to see if there are any crystal mines nearby. The spiritual energy is dense here, so it's likely that precious spiritual medicine will grow here. When you're searching for fierce beasts, be sure to search for medicinal materials as well." The evil monk rubbed his empty treasure pouch, realizing he didn't have much replenishing elixir left, and reminded Wang Guang to collect medicinal materials to refine into elixirs to replenish their stock.
