Chapter 197 Isolation Chime Bell

Lu Tianzi's frown only deepened upon hearing Beiqian You's words.

It really was about that matter!

Back then before the start of the Scarlet Moon Heroes Meet, due to certain reasons, Lu Tianzi had ended up killing four members of the Flying Dragon Hall in the outskirts of Scarlet Moon City.

Fortunately, he had kept his identity a secret back then, even going as far as wearing a mask and using the spear instead of his usual weapons, at least when there had still been witnesses around. That was the reason why he had not been exposed despite staying for the full Scarlet Moon Heroes Meet.

But how did Beiqian You find out in the end?

As if that was not enough, that Peng just had to be Beiqian Peng, the elder brother of this Beiqian You?

What the hell!

What kind of coincidence was that?

No, perhaps it could not be considered a coincidence.

It was likely that this Beiqian You had found out the truth, and had planned this encounter so as to create an opportunity for revenge.

But if Beiqian You had already learnt the truth, did that mean the Flying Dragon Hall was already aware of his deeds?

If that was the case, then things could get really tricky in the future!

Seeing the nervous look on Lu Tianzi's face, Beiqian You could not help but grin in satisfaction.

"So the great Nanlu Tianzi is finally worried?" Beiqian You scoffed.

"We are at war, yet you move against your allies? Have you not considered that your current actions will bring about dire consequences?" Lu Tianzi questioned.

"Consequences?" Beiqian You seemed to be shocked for a moment, but quickly burst out into laughter. "Hahaha! Consequences, he says!"

Those of the extraction team laughed along with him, seeming like they did not care one bit about what Lu Tianzi just said.

Lu Tianzi did not react, simply staying on guard as he watched them closely.

When they finally stopped, Beiqian You let out a confident smirk as he raised the treasure bell in his hand. "Let me satisfy your final bit of curiosity then. This Isolation Chime Bell in my possession is able to completely lock down the surroundings. Unless I will it, no one can enter or exit the area without my permission. And don't even bother using your communication ring to call for help. Even signals from communication rings will not be able to escape this isolated area! But you don't have to worry too much either. I will let you die a hero, telling the rest that you sacrificed your life to buy time for the rest of the assault party's escape!"

"Not even communication rings will work?" Lu Tianzi was surprised. That was quite the treasure!

"Now that you know, it is time for you to admit to your crimes!" Beiqian You demanded. "If you do so, I might consider letting you live, only crippling your cultivation before letting you go. Otherwise, you will certainly die in my hands today!"

"I see," Lu Tianzi let out a deep sigh, as though he had truly given up. "How did you find out?"

How did you find out?

By saying that, it was equivalent to admitting to his involvement in the matter.

"Hah! Do you really think that you will get away scot free?" Beiqian You was finally satisfied with Lu Tianzi's admittance, though it was just an indirect one. "I must say that you have really hidden yourself well. However, you simply cannot ignore the effects of karma. No matter how far you run, the hand of fate will always come for those who deserve it! As for the process, I guess there is no harm letting you know either."

With that, Beiqian You started to explain how he came to find out about Lu Tianzi's involvement in his elder brother's death.

Beiqian Peng had been someone at the Peak Essence Condensation realm. In order to kill Peng's group of four without letting any of them escape, the culprit would have to really excel at combat. With the Scarlet Moon Heroes Meet happening soon, it was likely that he was here for the meet as well, and the Flying Dragon Hall believed that there was no way such an excellent combatant would not stand out in the Scarlet Moon Heroes Meet.

However, he really did not.

According to the witnesses from the Wind Leaf Sect, the culprit wielded a silver spear and donned a mask, and none of the powerful characters present at the Scarlet Moon Heroes Meet possessed such traits.

As mighty as they might be, the Flying Dragon Hall still did not dare to offend everyone by interrogating the members of every sect.

After the Scarlet Moon Heroes Meet ended, they had already resigned to the fact that the chances of finding the culprit had fallen greatly.

Things would have ended there originally, but Lu Tianzi just had to use the Star Reaper Spear during the siege on Ivory Rock City, exposing it to the rest of the members of Bluenight City. As if that was not enough, he had even donned the same concealing mask while doing so.

Yet even with that, such matters would not have reached the Flying Dragon Hall if not for the visit from the Wild Melody Circus.

During the banquet at Bluenight City, many people were praising Lu Tianzi after he successfully stopped the frontal attack of the Origin Core realm Elder Wenshen. In the process, someone who had participated in the assault on Ivory Rock City excitedly told the visiting powers about Lu Tianzi's exploits during the assault.

In turn, these visiting powers spread the news when they returned to Scarlet Moon City, leading to the Flying Dragon Hall getting wind of it, and they finally connected the dots.

Still, because war with the Dragon Cauldron Kingdom was approaching, coupled with the lack of concrete evidence, the upper echelons of the Flying Dragon Hall came to a consensus, temporarily deciding not to act against someone of Lu Tianzi's stature.

That was the reason why nobody confronted Lu Tianzi, at least not until now.

Even though the upper echelons of the Flying Dragon Hall had come to a consensus on the matter, it did not mean that everyone below agreed with their decision.

As Beiqian Peng's younger brother, Beiqian You simply could not take it lying down!

After all, how could he ever fight alongside this person who had murdered his elder brother in cold blood?

If he did, how would he be able to face his elder brother in the afterlife?

Because of that, he went to look for the one person whom he knew would surely stand on his side, the person whom his brother was a direct disciple of – Beiqian Zuo.

Beiqian Zuo was an Elder of the Flying Dragon Hall, and was known for doting on his direct disciple. Once Beiqian You suggested to him about avenging Beiqian Peng, the Elder agreed without hesitation, which eventually resulted in the current situation.

"Now, are you satisfied?" Beiqian You felt slightly better upon letting it all out. At least he could let this Nanlu Tianzi understand exactly how fate played a big part in his death!

Man proposes, but God disposes.

This was the will of the heavens, an inevitable outcome!

"I get it now," Lu Tianzi nodded. "So only you and that Beiqian Zuo is involved in this? In fact, it could even be said that you defied the intentions of the Flying Dragon Hall, am I right?"

"Hahaha! So what if that is the case?" Beiqian You laughed heartily. "Didn't we still manage to trap you here like a mouse?"

"But of course it matters!" Lu Tianzi smirked. "This means that after this, I must remember to get rid of that Beiqian Zuo as well."

"What?" Beiqian You's lost the smile on his face immediately.

But before he could properly react, a sudden realisation dawned upon him. Beiqian You quickly took a look at his hands, and his eyes widened in horror.

Where did it go?!

"Looking for this?" Lu Tianzi raised his left hand, a silvery light flashing across his eyes.

When Beiqian You glanced over at Lu Tianzi's raised left hand, he could vividly feel a cold chill slowly crawl down his spine, giving him goosebumps.

Why was the Isolation Chime Bell in his hands?

When did he even move to steal it?

Beiqian You blinked hard, but no matter how many times he did, the scene before him remained the same. This was no dream, and the Isolation Chime Bell had truly fallen in the other party's hands.

"Do you still think you are the one with the upper hand here?" Lu Tianzi smirked.

With the Limitless Mirror Eye, it was relatively easy to steal something this small from a mere Peak Essence Condensation realm martial artist. The only downside to this was the huge energy consumption, even for something this small.

But now that they were trapped in an isolated area, Lu Tianzi no longer had to worry about that.

"H-How did you?! No, wait, attack! Everyone attack right now!" Beiqian You might have been shocked, but he was still a Peak Essence Condensation realm martial artist, and was able to regain his senses soon enough. "Don't give him any chances to escape!"

The rest of the extraction team had been shocked by the sudden appearance of the Isolation Chime Bell in Lu Tianzi's hands as well, but Beiqian You's words snapped them out of their daze.

Despite the treasure bell having landed in Lu Tianzi's hands somehow, they still believed that they held the absolute advantage in terms of combat.

After all, they had come prepared for this.

Upon Beiqian You's command, the extraction team rearranged their positions in a flash.

The extraction team comprised only members of the Flying Dragon Hall, which made it easier for them to work together in combat. At this moment, they had formed up into a battle formation that was one of the cornerstones of the Flying Dragon Hall's arsenal of combat techniques.

The Dragon's Descent Formation.

Though it looked simple and unimpressive on the surface, centuries had been spent refining this battle formation to absolute perfection. By relying on the Dragon's Descent Formation, martial artists within the formation were able to synergise their attacks, bursting forth with a combined strength that far exceeded their individual capabilities.

With the entirety of the extraction team putting their all into the Dragon's Descent Formation, Beiqian You was confident that they would be able to muster a level of strength that even could match up to true Origin Core realm martial artists!

Right now, all that mattered was for their attack to strike Lu Tianzi before the latter could figure out how to operate the Isolation Chime Bell.

Once Lu Tianzi managed to do so, he might be able to get rid of the isolation effect, giving him a way out of the situation.

Should that ever happen, it would mean failure on their part, for they were really not confident of catching up to his unorthodox movement techniques!

No, that must not happen.

They had to kill him with this blow, or at least make sure that he would no longer have time to figure out the Isolation Chime Bell!

At this moment, Beiqian You was standing at the head of the Dragon's Descent Formation. His entire figure was almost bursting with Essence energy, gathering it all into his palm. This was the combined power gathered from every person in the formation, and he was the one to take control of it.

Without delay, Beiqian You struck forward with his palm, releasing all that energy towards Lu Tianzi.

Roar-!

The illusory figure of a dragon shimmered into existence as it followed Beiqian You's palmstrike, heading straight towards Lu Tianzi.

Immense pressure bore down upon Lu Tianzi, causing him to raise his brows in surprise.

This pressure…

This attack had truly reached the level of Origin Core realm martial artists.

To be able to unleash such an attack with mere Essence Condensation realm martial artists, this battle formation was really quite something!

Unfortunately, their opponent was him.

Lu Tianzi drew the Sword of Ivory Rock, standing fearlessly against the incoming dragon.

Driving both the Spiritual and Slaughter Essence in his inner world, Lu Tianzi summoned forth a strength that completely dispelled the pressure bearing down on him by the illusory dragon.

With that, he struck out decisively.

Returning Wraith Sword!

The temperature within the isolated area immediately fell as a gush of powerful sword light rushed to meet the incoming dragon.

Slash-!

When the two waves of energy clashed, there was no loud collision.

Instead, the dragon was directly cleaved into two, completely unable to withstand the might of the sword light!
