The Guangcheng Golden Ship has been born!
In an instant, everyone's eyes, whether righteous or demonic, turned to the golden ship.
A nun on the wooden boat had already shot at the golden boat.
Zen Master Xiaoyue was clearly fighting desperately, using a broken jade hook to entangle the woman using the Heart Lamp, and then also rushed towards the golden ship. As for the demon corpse Gu Chen, his body was surrounded by green light and purple flames, his two strange arms were ten feet long, his hands were as big as rafters, his roar was like thunder, and he spewed out dozens of feet of fierce fire and poisonous flames as he flew down.
Chapter 269 Obtaining the Treasure in Yuanjiang (Part 2)
Zen Master Xiaoyue and the demon corpse Gu Chen fought desperately, but Jiang Liu didn't move at all.
Then Zen Master Xiaoyue broke through the precious light and entered the golden boat.
Jiang Liu stood on a withered tree by the river, watching the great monk enter the golden boat. His eye twitched slightly as he thought to himself: "If he goes in like this, isn't he afraid of having his retreat blocked? It seems Xiaoyue's mind has been disturbed by that Guihua Divine Sound!"
Fortunately, Demon Corpse Valley Chen arrived shortly after, and several beams of light shot towards him. Demon Corpse Valley was quite skilled, breaking through the obstruction and striking at the two large golden spiders on the water's surface.
In an instant, the two golden spiders were killed.
Without the giant golden spider's pull, the golden ship immediately began to sink downwards, and the golden light of the tower gate flashed wildly.
Seeing this, Ye Bin, the owner of the Heart Lamp from Little Antarctica, had already driven the Heart Lamp to attack. In Jiang Liu's view, this woman's strength was even above Gu Chen's, and she possessed the supreme treasure, the Heart Lamp, which was specifically designed to counter demonic cultivators. Even he himself might not be able to gain the upper hand against her. If Gu Chen encountered her, he could only flee for his life; if he didn't, he would definitely be severely injured or killed.
Having strong personal strength is not true strength; one must also possess a supreme treasure. Otherwise, even a junior with a treasure can be brutally killed.
Li Yingqiong's Purple Ying Sword, Zhou Qingyun's Green Suo Sword, and Yu Yingnan's Southern Ming Fire Sword are all rare treasures that can help the weak defeat the strong.
Jiang Liu didn't go to the golden ship to retrieve the treasure because he felt there was nothing of value on it. What he wanted was a top-tier demon-slaying weapon like the "Nanming Li Huo Sword".
What he didn't know was that, inside Yuanjiang's Guangcheng Golden Ship, besides the "Guaihua Divine Sound" which could only be used once and was extremely powerful, there was also a "Separation and Union Five Cloud Jade".
This jade tablet has two sides, one representing yin and the other yang.
Long ago, Master Lianshan only obtained one Yin Gui (a type of jade tablet), which he used to intimidate demons and became one of the four famous treasures of Lianshan. This Gui was originally an ancient treasure, while the Yang Gui was hidden inside the golden boat in the heart of the Yuanjiang River, never to be seen again. This Yang Gui was extremely powerful, and if the Yin Gui were obtained, the two would be combined, and its power would be no less than that of treasures such as the Purple and Green Twin Swords and the Heart Lamp.
At this moment, the first nun to enter the golden ship obtained the Divine Sound of Conversion, while Zen Master Xiaoyue broke a seal and obtained a black token, which was the Yang Gui of the Five Clouds Jade Separation and Union.
Master Xiaoyue held the Yang Gui in his hand, a smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "Master Lianshan's Yin Gui had such power in the past, and this Yang Gui is even more powerful. Qi Shuming, I have obtained this treasure today. It is Heaven's will that I prevent you from opening your mansion!"
At the same time, Jiang Liu's eagle eyes were fixed on a girl, and he thought to himself, "Of all the heroes, the two Yuns and the seven dwarfs in the entire Shu Mountain, you have the fewest magic weapons. Although the Nanming Li Huo Sword is enough, you are so close to me, and the Nanming Li Huo Sword is killing enemies. If I want to kill you, it will only take a snap of my fingers. No matter how powerful the Nanming Li Huo Sword is, it will be difficult to return to protect yourself."
Glancing at the "Heart Lamp," Jiang Liu knew that with his current strength, it would be extremely difficult to kill Ye Bin in a short time. Only Yu Yingnan could he capture and kill instantly, and then obtain the "Nanming Li Huo Sword."
If they do not act, all is well; but if they do act, it must be fatal.
Jiang Liu looked at the girl, with her delicate features and arched eyebrows, her beauty revealing a hint of heroic pride. Although he felt reluctant, he still flapped his wings and shot towards her.
In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react, a black light swept towards Yu Yingnan. The divine power that combined black evil threads and black miasma was extremely malevolent and filthy. Enveloped by this black light, Yu Yingnan immediately felt dizzy.
But his will was extremely firm, and in his dazed state, the Nanming Fire Sword had already returned to protect him.
The Nanming Lihuo Sword was a treasure used by Bodhidharma to subdue demons before he crossed the Yangtze River. When wielding the sword, it resembles a hundred-zhang-long crimson rainbow. Not only are its uses infinitely wondrous, but it is also specifically designed to destroy all evil demonic treasures. It has its own specialties, just like the Ziying and Qingsuo swords, and they are difficult to distinguish in terms of superiority.
As the sword came hurtling towards him, Jiang Liu immediately felt the sharp sword energy making his hair stand on end, and he was instantly terrified.
"You dare!"
"Yingnan, be careful!"
"..."
Before these sounds could be heard, the Divine Dove's sharp claws had already landed on Yu Yingnan, killing her instantly.
With Yu Yingnan dead, the Nanming Li Huo Sword immediately lost control. The Divine Dove's tail feathers twitched again, and a white light and a red light enveloped everything.
The Yin energy beneath the earth and the blazing sun above are about to seal the Nanming Li Huo Sword.
Although no one was controlling this sword, it was naturally extraordinary and a supreme treasure. It was about to break free from the two seals, one black and one white, and soar into the sky.
Moreover, although the demon corpse Gu Chen and a group of demonic cultivators were holding them back, Yu Yingnan's death enraged everyone. After all, she was a disciple of the vengeful spirit Qi Shuming.
"Yingnan is dead? How is that possible? The prophecy of the Three Heroes and Two Clouds by the Long-Browed Immortal is the foundation for the glory of Emei. How could she die here? This is impossible! Yingnan is still alive!"
Everyone found it unbelievable that someone with such great fortune could die here.
Emei has not yet been officially established!
It's hard to accept, but it's the truth.
Instantly, Yang Jin's "Lotus Vajra Wheel" abandoned Venerable Dulong and charged towards Jiang Liu, with silver rain filling the sky and lightning flashing across the sky.
Several flying swords whistled as they hurtled straight at them.
These were easy to block, but that cold light was extremely dangerous. Ye Bin from Little Antarctica shot a "Frosty Divine Light" towards Jiang Liu.
In the blink of an eye, just as the "Nanming Li Huo Sword" was about to break through the black and white seal, the divine dove's sharp claw pressed down on the divine sword.
With a clenched claw, the divine sword beneath it struggled like a dragon. Jiang Liu snorted coldly, and the three-colored feathers on the tail feathers of the divine dove kept brushing, binding it layer by layer.
Then, it spread its iron beak and spat out a purple flame towards the sky. With a crisp and violent "pop," the "Ice Soul Divine Light" shattered instantly, turning into thousands of colorful threads, a rain of flowers that filled the sky, reflecting the bright moon and clear waves, creating a beautiful and boundless spectacle.
The deafening sound was extremely violent, causing the river water to spurt and the cliffs to rise dozens of meters high. The echo reverberated through the mountains and valleys, as if they were about to collapse one after another, making the earth shake and the sound even more astonishing.
Having broken the "Ice Soul Divine Light" with a single move, Jiang Liu did not rush to escape, but instead headed towards the location where the Guangcheng Golden Ship had sunk.
Just then, Xiaoyue broke through the water's surface. Jiang Liu sneered, threw the corpse under his claws at Xiaoyue, and shouted, "Xiaoyue, take this person away and threaten Emei."
Zen Master Xiaoyue had just emerged from the water and had no idea what was happening. He caught it in a daze, looked down, and found it to be a female corpse.
"Yingnan is not dead?"
"I knew it! Yingnan has great luck; how could she possibly die!"
"Save Yingnan!"
Just as Zen Master Xiaoyue was about to throw away the female corpse in his hand, he looked up again and saw that all the attacks were coming towards him!
Chapter 270 The Southern Ming Fire Sword
Having obtained the "Nanming Li Huo Sword," Jiang Liu spread his wings and flew eastward. He was already satisfied with this world-class flying sword from "Shushan." As for the Heart Lamp, Jiang Liu had no ability to forcibly take it.
That Ye Bin is not Yu Yingnan. With her "Ice Soul Divine Light", she was able to hold her own against the demon corpse Gu Chen. As long as she wasn't killed in one blow, as long as she had a chance to catch her breath, her Heart Lamp could return to protect her.
With this lamp protecting him, even the river flow dared not approach.
Having both strength and magical treasures—that's what makes a top-tier cultivator. People like Yu Yingnan and Li Yingqiong, who rely on magical treasures, are nothing special. A single moment of carelessness can lead to their death and the loss of their magical treasures.
Pushing its speed to the limit, the Divine Dove, naturally adept at flight, was far faster than any sword-riding technique, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye. As for the consequences of killing Yu Yingnan, let Zen Master Xiaoyue and Demon Corpse Valley Chen bear them first!
Jiang Liu flew towards the East China Sea, intending to find a secluded place to refine the "Nanming Lihuo Sword".
Leaving the coast and venturing into the depths of the sea, finding a secluded island is naturally a simple matter. Looking down from the clouds, towering coconut palms come into view. As soon as you land, a gentle breeze blows across the sea, the azure waters stretching to the horizon, shimmering with golden waves. On the beach, the waves surge and crash against the rocks, creating towering sprays that dance and cascade down, reflecting the setting sun in a dazzling golden light—truly magnificent, awe-inspiring, and incomparably beautiful.
The island was deserted, so Jiang Liu found a grotto on the island, sealed the entrance, and then eagerly began to examine the "Shushan" world's finest flying sword.
"My darling!"
Jiang Liu stared intently at the crimson divine sword, which was constantly being struck by the three-colored divine light of the Divine Dove's tail feathers, seemingly about to break the seal and escape.
This divine sword does not submit to the river.
"Now that you're in my hands, I'll let you leave. Submit to me! Shake..."
The divine dove clenched one of its sharp claws into a fist and punched the sword. The entire island seemed to tremble, and the "Nanming Lihuo Sword" let out a soft hum.
Violent suppression!
The true art of refining treasures lies in the slow, persistent effort of water dripping on stone—gradually grinding and wearing it down until success is achieved. Jiang Liu, however, had no time to waste; he resorted to brute force, suppressing it directly and destroying it if it refused to submit.
The divine object, imbued with spirit, unleashed nine consecutive punches upon the sword, causing the "Nanming Lihuo Sword" to freeze in front of Jiang Liu, no longer attempting to escape.
Once the primordial spirit entered the divine sword, it no longer resisted as before, but it also did not submit.
"If you can let my primordial spirit enter the sword's body, I can refine it, regardless of whether you cooperate or not..."
Jiang Liu refined it for three days and three nights. Although it couldn't make the "Nanming Lihuo Sword" protect its master on its own like Yu Yingnan could, it could still operate as smoothly as an arm.
"With such a flying sword, one has the strength to protect oneself! Even the god Nifen Tuo can fight back with the Nanming Li Huo Sword, instead of running away as before."
After swallowing the "Nanming Lihuo Sword" whole, Jiang Liu spread his wings and thought to himself: "The opening of the Emei Palace will be in just over ten days. I need to make some careful plans."
Jiang Liu escaped Yuanjiang after obtaining the "Nanming Lihuo Sword," but the Zen Master Xiaoyue and the demon corpse Gu Chen, whom he had used as shields, were in a sorry state and cursed Jiang Liu's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Yu Yingnan's death was naturally partly their doing, and they were relentlessly pursued. The slightly weaker Lone Dragon Venerable didn't even manage to escape Yuan Jiang before being killed.
The rest of the demonic cultivators were either dead or injured. Only Xiaoyue and Guchen managed to escape Yuanjiang and fled all the way out of China, eventually reaching overseas.
Even so, Yang Jin and Ye Bin's group relentlessly pursued them.
The deaths of the three heroes and two clouds were crucial to the prosperity of Emei and the future of the orthodox Xuanmen sect. No one could bear the consequences of such a death.
...
During the three days that Jiang Liu was in seclusion refining the "Nanming Lihuo Sword," Emei, and even the entire righteous path, were in an uproar.
He was hiding overseas and was unaware that he had become a target of universal hatred. An organization dedicated to killing the god Jiu had been established and was now searching for him all over the world.
Fortunately, the secrets of heaven were already in chaos, and he was not a person from this "Shushan" world. No matter how proficient he was in the Book of Changes, he could not calculate his location.
This small group is led by Madam Miaoyi. With the establishment of the Emei Sect imminent, the fact that they could spare such a powerful expert already shows how much they value Jiang Liu.
Among the others is Ling Hun, a strange beggar who is already in a semi-mad state. Jiang Liu's first entry into the "Shushan" world ruined his chance to establish a sect, and he also killed his wife Cui Wugu, so the grudge between them is the deepest.
The remaining disciples were Li Yingqiong, wielding the Purple Ying Sword, and Zhou Qingyun, wielding the Green Suo Sword, both third-generation disciples of Emei. Also included were Yang Jin, Ling Yunfeng, Master Yuqing, Ye Bin, and others from Yuanjiang.
However, the world is vast, and finding the river is extremely difficult.
Even if it's very difficult, I'll still look for it.
"Master, is it really impossible to find out the whereabouts of that vicious pigeon?" The speaker was a young girl with a red mole between her eyebrows, exuding a deep aura of menace. She stroked the sword box with both hands, her eyes blazing with killing intent.
This woman is Li Yingqiong, the foremost among the younger generation of Emei, and the leader of the Three Heroes of Emei. She was a close friend of Yu Yingnan, and now that her friend has died tragically, she appears calm on the surface, but it is the calm before the storm.
The woman sighed and said, “Yingqiong, I know you are saddened by Yingnan’s death, but even Master Fentuo could not subdue that vicious pigeon, let alone predict its fate. Now that Emei is about to open its gates, we should search for the vicious pigeon. It would be best if we could kill it. If not, once the gates open, all the senior masters and grandmasters of the Xuanmen sect will be free to act. No matter how the vicious pigeon tries to escape, it will only perish.”
Li Yingqiong and Zhou Qingyun nodded in agreement, but their hands gripped the sword box tightly.
"I'm going to the Great Snow Mountain!" The speaker was a disheveled old madman, his white hair tangled in the mountain wind. This man was none other than the strange-looking Hua Linghun. He suddenly uttered these words and headed towards the Great Snow Mountain to search for the whereabouts of the Divine Dove.
