Chapter 211 - True Lord's Relic
Chapter 211 - True Monarch's Relic
Hu Zhenran stared at the young man several feet away behind him, his face unperturbed.
Whoosh!
The blood-stained shadowless needle awn swept out a sharp arc in the air.
It eventually transformed into a needle-shaped talisman and returned to Lu Changan's palm hidden in his sleeve robe.
"Thief...... insidious......"
Real Hu's shocked face, stained by the blood splattered from his chest, stared resentfully and unwillingly at the attacker behind him.
Uttering a few words in an arduous manner, his heart had exploded, his throat choked and he kept gurgling blood.
"Real Hu!"
A few cries of alarm came, and only then did the rest of the people react.
"Thump!"
Real Hu fell to the ground, the vitality in his body dropped, instantly falling to the bottom, dying.
Lu Changan did not move and put away the needle-shaped talisman treasure.
Lu Changan did not use his truly powerful treasure talisman to attack and kill Real Hu.
This needle-shaped talisman was the enemy talisman gifted by Bai Aya when Fu Xuemei attained her dan.
This talisman treasure, frontal attack on the false Dan real threat is not big, but good at hiding dark attack, movement is very small. Hu just spied on the chance of the treasure, escaped from death, and lost the key token, the state of mind of the ups and downs, the attention is completely involved.
Lu Changan attacked from behind and killed him with a single blow.
"Lu Changan! How dare you assassinate Real Hu?"
Tan Zhenran, who had already arrived in front of the Hexagonal Palace Building, turned back in shock, stunned for a moment, and reprimanded with a huffy expression on his face.
Tan Zhenran did not have the extreme anger that he had imagined, but was more stunned and surprised.
"Realist Hu did not keep his promise, not only did he not compensate Mister Lu for the loss of his puppet, he also stole the demonic pills obtained by my spirit pet."
Lu Changan's face was expressionless as he rightfully said:
"That's why I made my move to kill him!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd of cultivators present froze, feeling justified, but vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
Lu Chang'an said these words without the slightest bit of anger, it was really a bit out of place.
Pfft!
The Hu Zhen Zhen on the ground spat out a mouthful of blood and died of gas, leaving an expression of death.
Zee!
The Ground Rock Rat leapt over, plucked off Real Hu's storage bag, and quickly turned back again.
Realist Tan reacted with a grim expression, killing intent hidden in his eyes.
Lu Chang'an was the closest to Real Hu, and as a plotter, he naturally had the first chance to pick the fruits of victory.
"Fellow Daoist Lu."
Fairy Shi leapt to Lu Chang'an's side, defending herself against the four members of Realist Tan's party.
After a short period of shock, Fairy Shi looked at the familiar man in front of her, and her heart was hardly calm for a long time.
That low-profile cultivator who had never fought, who raised turtles and planted grass, had attacked and killed a False Pill Realist with a single strike.
This really broke the conventional understanding of him.
......
Why did Lu Changan kill Real Hu?
Fairy Shi, as the only remaining formation master on the field, quickly understood his intentions.
The ancient ruins have been conquered to this point, and the various difficulties have been cracked one by one, and Real Hu, as a third-ranked formation master, has made the best use of his resources.
Perhaps there are still some small problems, including the original way back to the entrance of the ruins.
As a quasi-third-order array master, Fairy Shi's array attainments are not that different from Real Hu's, mainly because of the gap in cultivation realm.
After Real Hu died, Shifu Manrong's status was elevated, and she teamed up with Lu Chang'an to grasp more initiative.
In fact, Lu Changan's killing of Real Hu also stemmed from his fear of the Third Order Formation Master.
Third-ranked formation masters, with the help of geography, lay down formations that have greater threats and variables.
As soon as Real Hu died, the remaining Real Tan was simply a strong individual.
Instead, Lu Changan was not so afraid.
"Lu Chang'an, Real Hu was a close friend of Mister Tan. No matter what reason you have for killing him, Mister Tan can't turn a blind eye to it."
Real Tan did not find the token for the time being, and turned back to approach Lu Chang'an step by step, his face cold and fierce.
"What does Real Tan want?"
Lu Changan thought to himself, "I didn't see you being so aggressive before when I didn't take Real Hu's storage bag.
"Insidious junior! I want you to thank me with your death!"
Tan Zhen Zhenzi word by word, body Dan force burst, emitting more than ordinary false Dan cultivator's powerful spiritual pressure.
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of ebony-colored rulers, the precious light blooming greatly.
Boom!
The magic treasure ruler surged more than ten feet into the wind, condensing a majestic deep blue light, and with the momentum of a landslide, he ruthlessly slapped at Lu Changan.
The faces of all the cultivators in the audience changed, Tan Zhenren is really serious.
Not only for the sake of Hu's storage bag, but also for the sake of Hu's storage bag.
Lu Changan was behind the death of a False Pill Realist, how could Realist Tan tolerate this kind of threat to exist around him at all times?
At the same time that Real Tan made his move.
Lu Chang'an also moved, his body's Evergreen Mana surged like a tidal wave, offering up a prototype of an emanating magic treasure.
It was a rustic scimitar with a black and gold glitter, emitting a treasure-level spiritual fluctuation. With the injection of Evergreen's mana, it was activated.
The simple scimitar shook with a vibration, and the sharp aura rushed into the sky, transforming into a gold-plated, half-moon shaped, black giant sword.
Clang! Peng!
The half-moon gold-plated black knife, positively chopped into the treasure ruler, powerful wind waves, impacting the square mile or so. In less than a breath, the black giant knife light suddenly dimmed, turned into a simple curved blade, fell down.
The deep blue aura on the magic treasure ruler, unexpectedly also dimmed by half, shrinking a lot.
"This kind of power?"
Realist Tan was secretly surprised, he didn't expect Lu Chang'an's magic treasure prototype to have such a strong power that it could rival an ordinary False Dan Realist's magic treasure strike.
Lu Chang'an's normal use of his magic treasure prototype was not as powerful as this.
However, the scimitar magic treasure prototype has been tempered and nurtured by him for too long, and its spirituality is not inferior to that of a real magic treasure.
This first "opening of the blade", the accumulation of thin hair, the outbreak of power is even stronger.
Bang!
The half-shrunken treasure ruler was blocked by a ten feet tall turtle puppet, canceling out the remaining power.
The turtle puppet was still, its surface was outlined in light patterns, and there was no damage whatsoever.
"A quasi third stage puppet? No, it's just that the defense power reaches the quasi third rank......"
Tan Zhenran's brows stared up, feeling tricky.
On Lu Chang'an's side, Fairy Shi also offered up a golden ring-shaped prototype of a magic treasure, originally prepared together with a defensive magic ruler, but it turned out to be useless.
"You guys, what are you waiting for?"
Real Tan once again activated the magic treasure ruler, his eyes coldly glancing at the three uncertain Foundation Establishment subordinates.
"Realist Tan, the restraints on those two Foundation Establishment Daoists seem to have been cast by Realist Hu. Now that Real Hu is not here, they naturally have the right to choose their own destiny."
Lu Changan stood behind the turtle puppet and laughed softly.
Of the three remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators on the field, only the Wei girl was not restrained.
The remaining high nosed young man and the old man in flowery armor had been placed under restraints by Hu Zhenzhen, as third rank formation masters tended to specialize in restraints and were more secure.
Realist Tan was unable to directly control their deaths.
While Lu Chang'an and Real Person Tan were fighting, Miss Wei quietly stepped back a distance.
When the other two saw this, they hesitated, but when they saw Lu Chang'an blocking the False Dan Realist's strike head-on, they couldn't help but be shocked.
From the looks of it, Lu Chang'an and Fairy Shifu had the power to fight with the False Dan Realist.
In that case, there was no need for them to submit to Realist Tan and work for him.
......
"Realist Tan, if you kill the two of your fellow Daoist Lu's couple, can you be sure of entering the secret vault space that hides the formation gate? On the way back, can you ensure that you will be safe and sound?"
Miss Wei's voice was as cool as the night as she spoke at the right time.
"Miss Wei has a point."
Real Tan's face was soothed, he was more polite to this Miss Wei and smoothly stepped down.
Lu Chang'an and Fairy Shi showed enough strength to fight against the False Dan Realist, and it was already bad enough to handle.
Fairy Shi had an irreplaceable role as the only formation master.
"Little thief Lu, the grudge between you and I will be settled before we leave the ruins!"
Real Tan put away his magic ruler and put down a vicious sentence.
Lu Chang'an smiled and also put away the magic treasure prototype and the turtle puppet.
With his face in the air, Realist Tan headed back to the Hexagonal Palace Building, taking Miss Wei with him and searching for the token that Realist Hu had lost earlier.
Lu Chang'an was not interested in participating.
When Real Hu broke the formation, Lu Chang'an had fused with the Nine Seal Tablet, and his powerful divine sense observed the relevant details.
The token was actually swept away by the power of the formation to a separate treasury space.
At that time, Realist Tan was trying to save someone, and his divine sense was not as strong as Lu Changan's, who had fused with the Nine Seals Tablet, so he didn't notice this detail.
"Fairy Shi, have you seen the method to break open the hidden seventh formation door?"
Lu Changan set up a layer of soundproof shield and communicated with Shi Manrong by voice.
"Witnessed twice, my concubine's formation attainments are not what they used to be, breaking through the formation gate is no longer difficult. Moreover, that formation gate has just been broken through and is currently in a loose state, making the loopholes even more obvious."
Shi Manrong smiled warmly, showing a bit of confidence.
"How should I deal with the hidden killing trap behind the seventh formation gate?"
"My concubine can already see that the token is only a token to enter the treasure trove, and the identity must be verified in order to enter peacefully. Having a token alone, but not the identity, will attract the attack of the trap and kill formation." "Fortunately, that ancient formation is crippled and has many loopholes. At that time, it is only necessary to destroy the connected array nodes in advance, breaking off the trap-killing array's sensing restriction."
"I see."
Lu Changan understood the general principle.
He also lamented, "Unfortunately, Real Hu's ban-breaking bead was previously destroyed in the killing formation."
"That ban-breaking bead, has been consumed almost to the limit. Now that the array gate is loose, having a quasi third-order ban-breaking talisman, plus a False Dan level strike would be sufficient."
Shi Manrong was calm and collected.
"Breaking the formation is not difficult, but where to find a token token now?"
Lu Chang'an pondered.
A token token, Real Hu used one, and Real Qi used one decades ago.
In the ancient ruins, there are still some unexplored areas, so as long as you are willing to spend time and take some risks, it is possible to find another one.
Shi Manrong glanced at Realist Tan in the distance.
Her lips pursed, and her fragrance surged darkly as she pressed into Lu Chang'an's ear.
"You...... you have?"
Lu Changan's heart was delighted, this former pillow, but also hid a hand.
Shi Manrong had a token that she had gotten from exploring the periphery of the ruins after Qi Zhenren's death back then.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, prepare properly later, my concubine will break the formation to enter the treasury space, you are responsible for strategy. If we succeed, we will split the treasures 50/50, okay?"
"Fifty-fifty? No problem."
Lu Changan nodded his head without thinking, and a trace of respect arose in his heart.
Breaking the formation to enter the treasure vault carries unknown risks.
This relic opportunity was provided by Shi Manrong, who had to break the formation as well as take the risk to retrieve the treasure.
The 50/50 split was based on Lu Chang'an's strength in killing Hu Zhenran and showing the town's strength.
"Before breaking the formation and fetching the treasure, Lu wants to go to a place first."
Lu Changan thought for a moment and looked towards the area where he had passed through the bridge earlier.
At this moment, in the middle of the ruins, no one could restrict the duo's free movement.
......
A few moments later.
Inside the ruins, on the top floor of an attic.
"The prohibition set up in this room is linked to the ancient remnant formation, and even after a long time, it still has a strong power that is difficult for True Dan cultivators to overcome, and it may lead to the risk of backlash."
Fairy Master surveyed the room in front of him, and gained insight into a layer of restraints that blended with the room.
"Meaning, it can't be broken?"
Previously, when passing by this place, Lu Chang'an noticed the anomaly and had sent out two puppets to test the waters, only to be twisted to pieces by the invisible power of the prohibition.
"No. If there is a third-ranked ban-breaking talisman, my concubine is certain of breaking it. Under the erosion of years, this prohibition has loosened up a lot and there are obvious weak points."
"A third-order ban-breaking talisman?"
Lu Chang'an flipped his palm and took out a ban-breaking treasure talisman that was slightly larger than an ordinary talisman.
The power of this forbidden talisman slightly exceeded that of a third-order lower grade.
Fairy Master took the "Third Grade Talisman for Breaking Forbids" and felt the terrifying power it contained, she glanced at Lu Chang'an and did not ask any more questions.
After observing for a long time, Fairy Shi withdrew for a distance and played the "Third Order Forbidden Breaking Talisman".
Psst!
A twisted black and white beam of light, trailing destructive arcs of electricity, struck the surface of the house, stirring up a layer of blue and white light that flickered brightly and darkly.
Lu Chang'an took out the turtle puppet in front of his body and secretly pinched a stack of talismans in his sleeve.
"It's done."
The blue-white light on the surface of the house was torn open, and the supply of power from the ancient remnants of the formation was temporarily interrupted.
Fairy Master breathed a sigh of relief and told Lu Chang'an to move faster.
Lu Chang'an didn't enter the room, he sent his puppets and ground rock rats to scavenge and take away all the items he could.
In the room, there was no scent of living beings and not many items.
After a few dozen breaths, the room's restriction began to recover.
The geode rats and puppets withdrew.
Lu Changan organized the items in front of him and picked out a jade cylinder, a dark golden token. This token was similar to the one that Real Hu had used earlier, but the texture was even better.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Fairy Shifu said happily.
Lu Chang'an put away the dark gold token and examined the jade cylinder, revealing a look of surprise.
Afterwards, he handed the jade cylinder to Fairy Shifu.
"Near ancient sect 'Hearing Sea Pavilion'? The pavilion where this room is located was once a place where Yuan Ying True Lords sat?"
Shi Manrong said in surprise.
No wonder this room's restrictions are so strong, when the two False Pill Mortals passed by earlier, they didn't dare to try it easily and skipped it for the time being.
The jade cylinder, similar to a logbook, records the basic conditions of this ancient relic for a certain period of time.
Although there is not much confidential information, but from the details recorded in it, the two of them have a better understanding of the ancient ruins, and even the hexagonal palace building.
......
On the way back to the Hexagonal Palace Building.
Lu Chang'an realized that several people, Realist Tan and Miss Wei, were searching for something in the nearby relic building.
Looking for tokens, or taking a chance on something else.
"Little friend Lu, you guys seemed to have broken through the prohibition just now, have you found any new tokens yet?"
Real Tan leapt over and said.
"Found it, I'm going to let Fairy Shi use the token and break the formation to retrieve the treasure."
Lu Chang'an did not hide it.
"Oh? Congratulations, do you need Mister Tan's assistance for a moment or two."
Real Tan's gaze flickered slightly as he proposed.
"If Mister Tan can assist, breaking the formation to retrieve the treasure will be more secure."
Lu Changan smiled.
Manservant Tan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Lu Chang'an to easily accept his good intentions.
Afterwards, following Fairy Shi's arrangement, he took out his magic ruler, and with a surge of dan power, he struck at the void somewhere above the golden-bronze gate.
Boom!
The light ripples of the formation above the hexagonal palace building trembled, breaking open a large hole that was not much different than before.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, be careful of Realist Tan."
Fairy Shi took out an ancient copper token and sent a message to Lu Chang'an before saying goodbye.
Whoosh!
She stepped on the recluse and flew towards the large hole where the hidden formation door had broken open.
On the other side of the hole, there was a floating shadow of an exotic space.
Fairy Shifu gripped the token tightly, closed her eyes, and struck a quasi-third-order ban-breaking talisman against the side of her head.
Bzzzz! Poof boom!
The blue-white electric aura collided with the ban-breaking light and annihilated each other.
The token in Fairy Shifu's hand that flickered with red shimmering light quickly returned to normal.
The forbidden sensing of the killing array was successfully cut off!
Fairy Shifu passed through the large hole in the formation peacefully, and was immediately enveloped by a white haze, her figure disappearing in a blur in the crowd's field of vision.
Lu Chang'an sensed that Fairy Master had stepped into another dimension, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Just now, he was prepared for Real Tan to intervene or grab the token, although the possibility was not high.
As a gifted formation master, Fairy Shifu had a higher success rate in breaking the formation and retrieving the treasure than anyone else with the previous experience of Realist Hu.
After Fairy Shi went in, the formation hole, did not immediately recover, the healing speed, slower than the last time.
Real Tan and Lu Changan were facing each other from a distance.
The Master Fairy had entered the treasury space, and if she wanted to kill Lu Chang'an, this was the best opportunity to do so!
Real Tan's gaze was stern, his body's dan power blue glow rolled, like a speedy wind, swept out dozens of feet.
"No...... real person spare your life!"
A few breaths later, hiding in the corner of the building, the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment of the flower armor old man, was Tan real people grab chicken general pick up.
"This is the chance that this True Man has rewarded you with!"
Tan real person can not be said, directly threw the flower armor old man into the formation hole.
The flower-armored old man's magic power was sealed, his body was out of control, his eyes were closed tightly, and he passively passed through the formation hole.
An unexpected scene happened.
Swish!
A white haze enveloped the flower-armored old man, and his figure flickered away, unexpectedly also entering the hidden treasury space.
"Haha! Something went wrong with the ancient remnant formation?"
Real Tan was stunned, then overjoyed, and flew towards the large hole in the formation gate that had not yet healed. He was not the only one who did so, but Miss Wei and the young man with the high nose beam also flew towards the large hole in the formation gate in surprise.
"Eh, Mr. Tan, don't be so impatient."
A dull and shocking wind, like a savage beast trampling on a mountain, blocked Real Tan's path.
The wind rushed towards his face, causing Tan's protective shield to rattle.
