Chapter 352: Revised: Chapter 351 Whim Next was the handling of the spoils of war, a Red Water Cyan Flood Dragon, not to mention its Demon Core, which was a top-grade material for refining Second-grade High-tier Spirit Pills, and was invaluable. Just its Scale Armor, flesh and blood, Essence Blood, Demon Bone, Flood Dragon Sinew... all had their uses and were extremely precious. Especially that singular horn, which was the Lifebound Demon Treasure of the Red Water Cyan Flood Dragon. *Refined with its heart blood, it was comparable to a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, with value even higher than the Demon Core.* Bai Ziyue initially had no desires, but his performance in this slaying of the Red Water Cyan Flood Dragon was exceptionally brilliant and could not be ignored. After several refusals, that horn eventually landed in his possession. “Alright, this matter has been resolved to perfection. Let’s return.” Lastly, Li Yichen timely spoke. “Good!” Duan Xingchen hurriedly nodded, already eager to return and find someone to refine Spirit Pills to help him break through the realm barrier and reach the Late-stage Enlightenment Realm. *Concerning those twelve spots, he was determined to secure one.* Bai Ziyue’s emergence had already made him feel some pressure. Even though Bai Ziyue’s realm was still low, only at the Early-stage Enlightenment Realm, his combat prowess was undoubtedly strong, comparable to Mid-stage Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters. Naturally, Duan Xingchen hoped to quickly enhance his strength to claim one of the spots with a stronger advantage. So soon, everyone returned. Bai Ziyue silently followed among them, unable to resist holding the Lifebound Demon Treasure in his hand and examining it closely. “Weight... some, but compared to many Spiritual Artifacts, it was already considered light. Then there was the Lifebound Demon Treasure itself, indeed possessing some intriguing aspects. Layer upon layer of dense patterns on it, broad yet precise, exquisite beyond words, *seemed to contain some profound principle, remarkably distinctive... upon careful thought, it seemed somewhat akin to a prohibition.* However, it was more complex and not complete, like it was only half of a complete pattern?” Bai Ziyue silently pondered, but remained clueless. Yet through these patterns, he vaguely felt that many Demon Beasts were actually not as simple as he imagined. Take this Red Water Cyan Flood Dragon for instance, besides the awakening of its Red Water Magic, it also understood how to refine its Lifebound Demon Treasure... Although he estimated that if the other had not refined this Lifebound Demon Treasure, it might have already broken through to the Late-Stage Spirit Communication Realm, its strength far exceeding its current state, and perhaps it could have escaped the calamity. But this equally proved many things. Could it be that they had inheritance too? *”To me, the research value of this Demon Treasure is greater than its practical use. Plus, its material is excellent, and once thoroughly studied, it could be melted into other Spiritual Artifacts to increase power, thus it was not too bad after all.”* Bai Ziyue thought to himself, just about to put away the treasure when he suddenly felt a tingling on his scalp, and his Heart Spirit was somewhat uneasy. “Warning sign?” Bai Ziyue’s expression changed. He understood that Immortal Cultivators had a sharp Divine Sense, often exhibiting extraordinary perception, and the stronger they were, the more they could sense impending crises. At the present moment, his sudden feeling of unease meant a crisis was about to arrive. His body immediately paused, displaying an extremely vigilant demeanor. “What’s wrong?” Li Yichen noticed his actions and promptly inquired. Bai Ziyue was about to speak when suddenly, he saw, on the far horizon, two figures, like lightning, shooting towards him, and his pupils instantly shrank. “Zhou Qing and...” Although the opponent’s appearance was different from before, Bai Ziyue could vividly remember the top-grade spiritual artifact level Cyan Bamboo Sword under Zhou Qing’s feet. As for the elderly woman beside him... Bai Ziyue did not recognize her, but from just the aura’s resonance, he could distinctly sense that she was much stronger than Zhou Qing, who was already at the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm. “It’s you, come and meet your demise!” Simultaneously, an enraged shout exploded in the void, swiftly spreading. Enemies would often have intense reactions when they encountered each other, and at this moment, Zhou Qing instantly became outrageously furious, causing his speed to soar as his Flying Sword expanded. *Before this, he had been speculating, wondering who exactly the mysterious powerhouse was that killed the Grand Elder and others, and annihilated the Grand Daoist Sect.* *Deep down, he wasn’t without trepidation.* After all, accomplishing that feat meant that the person’s strength was exceptionally stronger than regular individuals. If it weren’t for recruiting Diao Lengkui of the Witchcraft and Gu Sect’s Curse Killing Lineage for this pursuit, he decidedly wouldn’t have chosen to chase, but rather withdraw quietly, investigate discreetly, and then make a decision. However, at this moment, upon glimpsing Bai Ziyue, all his anxiety and apprehension vanished instantly. For he was well aware that two months ago, Bai Ziyue was only at the Qi Refinement Stage. Though Bai Ziyue had now broken through to the Enlightenment Realm, Zhou Qing, upon recalling how Bai Ziyue countered him back then, *had calculated that Bai Ziyue’s ability to kill the Grand Elder and others and destroy the Grand Daoist Sect was not due to his true strength.* Moreover, Zhou Qing did not believe that simply breaking through one realm would allow Bai Ziyue to rival or even surpass him. Let alone the fact that Zhou Qing was not alone. He was exceptionally confident. The intense killing intent, even from afar, was unmistakably transmitted, chilling to the bone. “Sect Leader of the Grand Daoist Sect, Zhou Qing, Peak Master of the Curse Killing Lineage of the Witchcraft and Gu Sect, Diao Lengkui...” Li Yichen’s face changed dramatically. There was no time to ponder why these two top powerhouses appeared, with such a menacing demeanor intending to strike at them. He quickly shouted, “Run, scatter and escape...” Among their group, the strongest was himself, who was in the Late-stage Enlightenment Realm, but due to limited lifespan, his combat power had waned, far from his peak. Even if everyone joined forces, facing a powerhouse at the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm, they would still be far inferior and would be entirely slaughtered, let alone against two? Most importantly, he was very aware of the terror that was Diao Lengkui, a top powerhouse within the Enlightenment Realm Level, at least ranked in the top ten. In terms of threat, she was two levels above even Zhou Qing at the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm. In the Sunrise Daoist Sect, besides the Sect Leader and Supreme Elder who were already in the Divine Realm, only the Grand Elder dared say they could surpass... Thinking of this, he no longer concerned himself with anything else, immediately choosing a direction and fleeing at top speed. Obviously, he misunderstood. As a result, Duan Xingchen, Shao Qing, and numerous disciples of the Sunrise Daoist Sect scattered like birds taking flight, quickly fleeing in all directions. Even the strongest, Li Yichen, was so frightened he fled in disarray. They did not believe they could escape from powerhouses at the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm Level. Life and death were all at the whim of others. Among them, it wasn’t that no one pondered the meaning behind Zhou Qing’s words, guessing that the target might not be themselves. But in such a situation, how could they dare stay? To escape as far as possible was the most correct choice. “I didn’t expect that before I could find trouble with him, he came looking for me instead.” Bai Ziyue, after an initial surprise, quickly calmed down. However, upon seeing Duan Xingchen and others fleeing in all directions, he ultimately chose not to fight but had an idea in his heart and immediately took out a Flying Shuttle. Middle-grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Shuttle, Wandering Dragon Shuttle! The Flying Shuttle expanded in the wind, transforming into a small boat in the blink of an eye. Bai Ziyue leaped into it, and with a slight touch of his Immortal Martial Primordial Power, the Flying Shuttle immediately activated. As spirit light grew brighter, it darted rapidly away from Zhou Qing and Diao Lengkui, flying at top speed in a direction different from other Sunrise Daoist Sect cultivators. “You can’t escape!” Zhou Qing roared. Under sword flight, his speed was even faster than Bai Ziyue’s Flying Shuttle, like a bolt of lightning rapidly cutting through the void. Diao Lengkui’s figure likewise flew through the void, whistling and breaking the sound barrier with a fierce explosion. Her speed even surpassed Zhou Qing’s. “Thirty breaths, Zhou Qing would need at least thirty breaths to catch up with me. And during that time, it should be enough for me to distance myself from Li Yichen and the others.” A hint of calm flashed in Bai Ziyue’s eyes. Fundamentally, he did not wish for his feud with the Grand Daoist Sect to affect Li Yichen, Duan Xingchen, and others. After all, they had developed some ties, and if a formal battle broke out, Bai Ziyue would be unable to protect them. Of course, most importantly, he didn’t want his strength to be exposed in front of them. Because it would inevitably reveal the fact that he was already at the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm. The trouble that would arise from this would be even more shocking than the news that he had destroyed the Grand Daoist Sect. After all, too many people knew it had only been two months since he broke through to the Enlightenment Realm. Two months, from the early-stage Enlightenment Realm to the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm... if such news spread, not just those in the Enlightenment Realm Level but even powerhouses from the Divine Realm might be tempted to target him, to seize the treasures he might possess... “So, I need to get as far away as possible from Elder Li and the others. I suppose, after escaping, Elder Li and the others won’t have the courage to approach the battlefield.” Bai Ziyue thought to himself, his brow unconsciously furrowing. After all, he had once fought Zhou Qing and was fairly familiar with his strength. He was confident that with his own strength, he could easily crush the opponent. But the presence of Diao Lengkui, the powerhouse from the Curse Killing Lineage beside Zhou Qing, gave him an unsettling feeling. The sense of crisis from his earlier instincts, he realized now, mostly stemmed from her. He indeed needed to respond cautiously to ensure whether he could emerge unscathed from this crisis, or even... With this thought, his mind moved, and the Top-grade Defensive Spiritual Artifacts, Black Tortoise Shield and Golden Thread Spirit Gang Bead, manifested around him and were quickly activated. Defending before attacking was his consistent battle style. The saying “offense is the best defense” was often just the sophistry of those without defensive measures. Then came the Positive and Negative Five Elements Shield Skill, Immortal Martial True Body, and Immortal Martial Glowing Light...
