There were many people in this world who thought they were smart, but it was rare to see someone who could be smart and still be lucky after doing so!
The fight between Daofather Ziyuan and the Nine Song Daoist was extremely intense, but Yang Junshan could tell that although Daofather Ziyuan’s cultivation was high, she might not be at the top amongst the Daoists.
Furthermore, from his battles with the other clan elders, Yang Junshan had gradually understood that the Dao Techniques and Divine Powers was an important dividing line between the strengths of the Daoist cultivators. As long as he met cultivators that cultivated the Dao Techniques and Divine Powers, Ziyuan would be extremely cautious, even when she met Flying Sword Sect s with similar cultivations to her, she would not even have the courage to attack, and could only wait for her to break out of the array before daring to step forward.
Yang Junshan even suspected that if it wasn’t for the low rank daoyin apparatus that Dao Ancestor Ziyuan had, whether or not the everlasting dense forest opening this time would broblem.
Although he did not have any daoyin apparatus in his hands, he had cultivated a set of Dao Techniques and Divine Powers s. Even though the power of this technique was far from that of the Solidified Life and Death Art, he was actually able to fight on par with her.
However, Daoist Jiu Ge’s cultivation was still lower in the end. In the beginning, he was still able to fight with Dao Ancestor Ziyuan, but after a while, he became weaker and weaker, but even so, if Dao Ancestor Ziyuan wanted to completely defeat him, he would have to pay a painful price.
“Alright, why don’t we stop here?” That Daoist Jiuge suddenly suggested loudly.
Daofather Ziyuan gave a cold snort and said, “What? You don’t want the Soul Splitting Gourd in my hands anymore?”
“Hmph. Although you arogue cultivator, your cultivation is still a bit higher than mine. You and I are equally powerful, but if we continue to fight, we will both be at a disadvantage. If this is too much of a loss, why don’t we just let you go? At the very least, I still have a second gourd.”
Daoist Jiu Ge was still as wise as ever, with the wisdom pearl in his hand.
When Dao Ancestor Ziyuan heard this, she ridiculed, “You have a good plan!”
“Hehe, you’re too kind!”
Yang Junshan couldn’t help but feel depressed for the Dao Ancestor. He heard that after the treasures in the middle of the Ancient Path were obtained by the cultivators, the entire Ancient Path would begin to close again. Seeing how confident the Dao Ancestor was, Yang Junshan wondered what kind of expression he would have when he suddenly realised that the Ancient Path was sealed halfway through.
The two sides passed each other by the end of the exchange. An encounter that left one at a loss of whether to laugh or cry, but at least it was scary, and it was not dangerous. The Ninesongs Daofather hurried towards the next secret plane’s intersection, while Ziyuan and Daofather Ziyuan also headed outside.
Yang Junshan could not help but ask: “This Daofather Jiuge is truly a strange person. I wonder who he is, could he really be a grandmaster of formations? I never thought that the Taoist Ancestor would actually possess such an existence. ”
Daofather Ziyuan gave a cold snort but didn’t reply.
Yang Junshan asked again, “Senior, you said before that we only need to break through the surrounding spatial barrier to exit this ancient secret path. Then, why do we still need to return through the same path?”
Daofather Ziyuan said coldly, “You can indeed leave through the spatial passageway in the secret realm!”
As if he had understood something, Yang Junshan asked, “Senior, do you mean it’s because of the Seven Treasures Gourd?”
“That’s right, with the Soul Splitting Gourd in my hands, I won’t be able to escape through the secret space. Even if I have the flying bottle gourd, I can only return along the same path I came from, and right now, I don’t even have the means to open the secret space, so it’s impossible to get people to leave ahead of time.”
Yang Junshan was greatly disheartened. He knew that right now, Daofather Ziyuan was jusarget, and about seventy to eighty percent of the cultivators who returned from the original route were people who obtained the Seven Treasures Gourd, and this was because other people might not be certain that the Soul Splitting Gourd was in the hands of Daofather Ziyuan, and that they had returned through a secret path. Even if they met other cultivators, they were only on one versus one.
The more Yang Junshan thought, the worse his complexion got. Although Daofather Ziyuan was walking right in front, she was clearly aware of the changes in Yang Junshan’s expression. She then said coldly: “Rather than being terrified, why not go all out? “Don’t forget, this Daofather won’t let you die so easily either.”
Although Yang Junshan knew that what Daofather Ziyuan said was true, this kind of situation where life and death were not within his control was not what Yang Junshan wanted to see.
After they passed through the fourth intersection, Dao Ancestor Ziyuan suddenly stopped. Yang Junshan was shocked, he heard Dao Ancestor Ziyuan say in a deep voice, “I’m afraid that you’ll have to rely on yourself for now, remember, you must go out before the secret passage closes. That way, at least the cultivators outside will be scattered around the seven entrances separately, and when the secret passage closes completely, all of the cultivators outside will gather above the everlasting dense forest to attack the cultivators that have been expelled from the secret passage.
Yang Junshan’s expression changed, and said: “Senior?”
Dao Ancestor Ziyuan replied without turning her head: “If you meet an enemy, you better pray for yourself!”
Just as Dao Ancestor Ziyuan finished speaking, she heard a sinister laugh from in front of him. “Look who this is, this Dao Ancestor is still at the intersection of the second and secret paths, but Dao Ancestor Ziyuan has already returned. This is truly enviable good luck, don’t tell me that the pretty boy beside you is actually so impressive, it is actually beyond my expectations!”
Yang Junshan felt a cold air rushing from the bottom of his feet to his head.
“Old ghost Yin Que, cut the crap. Since we met each other, you and I will do one round!”
Daofather Ziyuan raised the Purple Cloud Flag in her hand and was about to attack.
As if he hadn’t heard Daofather Ziyuan’s words, he continued, “However, it seems like this old man’s luck is similarly not bad. So what if you, Fellow Daoist Ziyuan, have gotten the gourd, don’t want this old man to take advantage of you and ask if this old man agrees?”
“With just you?”
He shook the Purple Cloud Flag in his hand, and a purple tornado formed out of nowhere, shooting towards the direction of the empty place in the sky.
“It’s useless. This old man has fought with you for hundreds of years and knows your methods very well. If you want to pass through this old man today, you have to hand over the gourd that you obtained in the middle of the secret path!”
Along with the Taoist Yin Que’s cold roar, a cold wind blew, and the center of the secret path was immediately filled with all sorts of eerie howls like ghosts crying and wolves howling. Yang Junshan immediately felt his head ache, and when he raised his head to look, he saw a short and ugly old man suddenly looking at him, and smiling sinisterly, Yang Junshan immediately felt like his soul had left his body.
A purple colored cloud suddenly flew across the sky and formed a purple colored passageway. Ziyuan said anxiously: “Hurry and run!”
Yang Junshan almost subconsciously used the Spatial Compression Technique to rush into the self-propelled pathway.
“Want to run?” Obediently stay here for this old one! ”
“Chi la!” A sound that sounded like the tearing of silk rang out, followed by a clear spatial ripple. It was another indication of Daoist Ancestor’s fighting technique, a grey gust of cold wind suddenly broke through the Purple Cloud Passage and grabbed towards Yang Junshan’s back.
The ability to escape like shrinking the earth into an inch was still too slow. In those short few dozen meters of Purple Cloud Passage, Yang Junshan had never felt that it would become this long!
Just as Yang Junshan was about to be captured by the grey tornado, a gold talisman suddenly appeared in Yang Junshan’s hand, and he smacked it towards his body. A cool breeze suddenly formed under Yang Junshan’s feet, bringing Yang Junshan out of the purple tornado in an instant, and rushed towards the last two points of the grey tornado, and the grey tornado was slightly weaker!
“Eh, Wind Chasing Talisman, I heard that Daofather Ziyuan was extremely amiable with the Purple Wind Sect back then, could it be that the Wind Chasing Talisman in your little lover’s hands was obtained from there?”
“Bullshit!”
Dao Ancestor Ziyuan’s angry roar came from far away and the words of the Taoist Yin Que seemed to have angered her. The battle between the two became even more intense, causing Yang Junshan’s heart to palpitate with fear and his flesh to jump, he escaped all the way to the intersection of the fifth path, only then were the aftershocks of the battle between the two Daoists unable to harm Yang Junshan.
Just as Yang Junshan heaved a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard the Taoist Yin Que’s flustered and exasperated roar: “Ah, middle ranked daoyin apparatus, Ziyuan you treacherous slut, your Purple Cloud Flag is actually a middle ranked daoyin apparatus!”
Following that, a violent wave swept past the space along the secret path as it twisted its way towards. Without even thinking about it, Yang Junshan passed through the second array barrier that was the last to return to their original route and soon, everything became tranquil.
Yang Junshan felt his back was covered in cold sweat. The scene of him escaping from the Taoist Yin Que still left a lingering fear in his heart, and if it wasn’t for the fact that the Taoist Yin Que was careless due to fighting with the Great Way of the Gods, and the Wind Chasing Talisman in Yang Junshan’s hand that most likely came from the Great Daoist’s arm, he wouldn’t have been able to escape just now. Even so, it took a long time for him to recover.
However, thinking back to the furious roar from the Taoist Yin Que, he did not expect Dao Ancestor Ziyuan to leavrump card in her hands. The secret to raising the Purple Cloud Banner to a Medial Grade daoyin apparatus was not leaked out even after fighting with several Daoists, and he did not expect that the Taoist Yin Que might not be able to obtain any benefits from the Dao Ancestor Ziyuan this time.
Yang Junshan could not help but think back to the second time he came here, and the battle with the Buried Sky Ruins, where the huge boat was struck by a giant fist and a boundless sword aura one after the other. The huge sail erected on the boat was chopped down, and after being split up by the sky net, it seemed to have mostly fallen into the hands of the Ziyuan Dao Ancestor.
