Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 236: Chapter 181: Cyan Yuan Sword Nurturing Gourd

”Wen’an, you must be extra cautious later on; that old thing, Mountain Master He, is not easy to deal with.”

Outside He County, high above the vast Gobi Desert, Elder Luo Yao of Luoxia Mountain spoke to Shen Wen’an beside her.

Luoxia Mountain has three elders in Yangnao Land, four Fetal Breathing Realm powers when including Wei Qiuling.

However, in making a move against He County under Hundred Beasts Mountain, only two Fetal Breathing Realm elders could be dispatched.

After all, precautions must be taken against the Suihuo Sect and the Zhang Family in Jinghe Swamp.

Among these two elders from Luoxia Mountain, Luo Yao’s realm had already reached the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing, while the other elder, Gong Cheng, was only in the Middle Stage of Fetal Breathing.

Counting Shen Wen’an and Wei Qiuling, the four were to battle the two Fetal Breathing Realm cultivators, Yang Xun and Mountain Master He of Hundred Beasts Mountain, along with their two war beasts.

Yang Xun’s war beast, the White Wolf, was no major concern, but Mountain Master He’s war beast, the Golden Flame Mountain Monarch, was not to be underestimated.

For it was also a demon beast that had reached the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing, and the Golden Flame Mountain Monarch seemed to possess an impressive bloodline, being exceedingly powerful.

These four had discussed beforehand; Shen Wen’an and Luo Yao would join forces to hold back Mountain Master He and the Golden Flame Mountain Monarch, buying time for Gong Cheng and Wei Qiuling to swiftly take down Yang Xun and his White Wolf war beast.

Once Yang Xun was dealt with, the four would surround Mountain Master He, separating him from the Golden Flame Mountain Monarch and defeating them one by one — the most reliable strategy.

”Don’t worry, Senior; if it’s merely about holding off Mountain Master He and the Golden Flame Mountain Monarch, I have some confidence.”

Shen Wen’an spoke up.

This confidence wasn’t there before his visit to Cyan Ruo Sword House.

But since visiting Cyan Ruo Sword House, witnessing Chu Yuanfeng’s sword techniques, and spending several days in the Sword Inquiry Cave at Cyan Ruo Sword House,

he found an entirely new path as a sword cultivator.

This time, Luo Yao could stop Mountain Master He, so dealing with that late-stage demon beast should not be a problem.

As Luo Yao nodded slightly, a terrifying roar suddenly echoed from the distant sky.

As the roar resounded, sound wave ripples stirred and reached the Gobi Desert, shattering the gravel and everything along the way!

”That old thing is truly shameless!”

Seeing those sound wave ripples sweeping up large amounts of dust, threatening to kill all the Qi Cultivation Realm disciples of Luoxia Mountain present, Luo Yao cursed in anger and immediately flew forward to meet the attack!

The moon-colored silk long gauze hanging from her shoulder, under her spiritual power control, instantly flew out, stirring ripples to meet the incoming sound waves!

The long gauze flew, and under her divine sense control, transformed into a gently flowing void river on the sound wave ripples’ path.

The sound wave attack launched by the Golden Flame Mountain Monarch and the swept rocks were instantly absorbed completely upon colliding with the void river!

Having completed this, Luo Yao retrieved the silk long gauze, squinted at Mountain Master He in the distance.

”What a move of Flowing Wind and Returning Snow... Truly worthy of the middle-grade magical artifact, Cloud River Practice.”

”Fellow Daoist Luo’s cultivation has also improved quite a bit.”

Seated cross-legged on the back of the three-zhang giant tiger, Mountain Master He was almost entirely hidden amidst the Golden Flame Mountain Monarch’s fur, looking quite comical.

Luo Yao coldly snorted, choosing not to respond.

The Golden Flame Mountain Monarch beneath Mountain Master He let out a low growl, seemingly displeased that its attack had been thwarted.

”Our Hundred Beasts Mountain and Luoxia Mountain have always had only minor conflicts, no great grudges. Does Luoxia Mountain truly intend to form a death feud with Hundred Beasts Mountain for a mere Qi Cultivation clan today?”

Mountain Master He spoke in a hoarse voice.

Having faced repeated setbacks, he had no desire to fight this battle.

If he could persuade Luoxia Mountain to retreat, he’d be willing to give away He County and Western Wilderness once he completely extracted the two Dao Seal Jade Carvings.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yao fell into contemplation.

Initially, when Wei Qiuling voiced Shen Wenxing’s suspicions, Luo Yao and others still had doubts, believing perhaps they were overthinking.

But taking He County was already in the plan; even if He County had nothing valuable, solely for those spirit fields and the common people of He County, Luoxia Mountain would make a move.

At present, faced with Luoxia Mountain blatantly attacking, the usually domineering Mountain Master He still tried to dissuade them with words.

Luo Yao suddenly thought Wei Qiuling’s words had a sliver of possibility.

It’s known Mountain Master He is infamous for his eccentric and ruthless nature in the Qishan Cultivation Realm owing to his physical defect.

Not just when faced with people attacking his doorstep; even on the road, if some cultivators merely looked at him, he might suddenly kill them.

Seeing Luo Yao appear hesitant, Mountain Master He thought his words worked and immediately continued, ”If Fellow Daoist Luo retreats now with everyone, I’ll pretend nothing happened.”

”Thereafter, Hundred Beasts Mountain, Luoxia Mountain, and Shen Family shall remain uninvolved with each other, how about that?”

Luo Yao abruptly laughed.

”At this point, does Mountain Master He still harbor fantasies?”

”Enough with the nonsense; today is the day your Hundred Beasts Mountain is completely driven out of Yangnao Land.”

With the words barely spoken, the middle-grade magical artifact Cloud River Practice in her hand began to emit a faint moonlight glow.

Simultaneously, Shen Wen’an also stepped into the void, sword light flashing beneath his feet, arriving at her side.

Seeing this, Mountain Master He knew today’s battle was inevitable, and without further ado, immediately patted the Golden Flame Mountain Monarch beneath him and charged forward!
