The man with the giant sword looked around the Weiyang Palace and locked his sight on Zhang Yunxi.
He was surprised a little.
“Five Elemental Yin-Yang Mixed Divine Lightning Origin? That’s rare.
“Zi Yang, you lost to a Golden Core cultivator? Seems like your sword is too weak! Too slow!”
Although he said that in a relaxing tone, Supremacy Zi Yang felt nothing good would happen later.
Indeed, the man added, “It’s okay. Find me when you come back.”
Supremacy Zi Yang was very depressed. He was going to have a hard time with his Senior Brother.
After chit-chatting with Supremacy Zi Yang, the man looked around the palace again and was stunned when he saw a familiar face. His daughter was here too!
“Lian’er, you ran away from home again? This pot…”
The man gasped when he recognized the pot.
Then, he shouted, “Lian’er! What have you done?”
Li Lian’er blushed and hid the pot behind her.
“You see nothing. Daddy sees nothing. Nothing.”
The man composed himself and commanded, “Who is Shen Tian? Step up!”
Shen Tian quickly took a step back. He would be a fool to really step up now.
Zhang Yunxi looked at the man in the air and said, “Uncle-Master Long River, Shen Tian is already our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saint. You, a Soul Formation senior, are now trying to pick on my Saint? What will others think of you?”
Li Canglan’s soul snorted. “I don’t care what others think of me. Your Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has always been on friendly terms with us. Since he is your Saint now, just let me bring him back to Grand White Grotto-Heaven and train him on behalf of your Sacred Leader. I’ll send him back after some time.”
Zhang Yunxi was not given many choices. “So, Uncle-Master Long River, you are not going to give any face?” she asked, her face blackened.
Li Cang Lan snorted. “Your father could say that to me, you are still not there yet.”
Just as he finished, another voice came from the void.
“Oh? If my Junior Brother could say that, what about me?”
A hole appeared in the air, and an old Taoist priest shot out of it. He scanned around the palace smilingly, but when he saw Shen Tian, he frowned a little.
The soul of Sword Venerable Long River was shocked to see the new intruder. He took a deep breath and said, “Cough, cough. How are you doing, Senior Azure Lotus?”
The old Taoist priest looked at Li Canglan and teased, “Not good, not good. I’m too poor!”
Li Canglan felt something was not right and quickly made an escape with the Sword Supreme Token.
The old Taoist priest smiled with confidence.
“Junior Brother Canglan, I haven’t seen you for a few hundred years, and you are still so cautious.
“Not sure if you know, but I find Shen Tian pleasing to the eye, and he will be my final disciple. You want to bring him away with force? You’re not giving me face at all!
“Do you think you can leave without leaving any compensation? Naive!”
Then, the old Taoist priest turned into an azure flame and chased after them.
The flame flew across the sky like a shooting star.
When Li Canglan saw that the old priest was closing in, he took out his long sword.
Thousands of blade auras appeared suddenly and flew toward the old Taoist priest like a wave in the ocean. Then, the sword auras’ light covered the entire palace of the Country of Fire.
It was the Grand White Grotto-Heaven’s best battle art, Infinite Sword Aura!
Zhang Yunxi looked at the move with admiration.
This is the true power of a Soul Formation cultivator. I’m still far from it. I’m still not strong enough.
Although the sword auras were flooding toward him, the old Taoist priest was not worried at all.
“Might Tinder Art! Big Mouth!”
As he shouted, the azure flame changed into a big azure mouth. Thousands of sword auras flew into the open mouth, but nothing happened. Instead, the big mouth swallowed all of them!
The speed of the azure mouth was not slowed down at all either. On the contrary, it was much faster.
“Chu Longhe, if my actual body was here, I’d definitely defeat you!”
A voice came from the Sword Supreme Token. Although it was still calm, there was a slight sense of frustration.
Sword Venerable Long River had been fighting in Eastern Wilderness for many years, and not once had he been forced to defend or escape.
Unfortunately, he was not the old priest’s match today as only a part of his soul was residing in the Sword Supreme Token.
It was strong enough to defeat a normal Soul Formation cultivator, but Azure Lotus was way beyond those normal cultivators’ level.
Li Canglan would have taken him on if his actual person was here. Nonetheless, if he tried to fight Azure Lotus now with only a part of his actual strength, he would definitely be drafted.
It was indeed dishonorable of Azure Lotus to bully a part of Canglan’s soul, but he did not care at all.
What was more important was that, although it was only a part of a soul, the injury sustained would affect the actual person too. Thus, normally only Li Canglan would carry the Sword Supreme Token personally.
He had only lent it to Zi Yang because this was a special case.
If Azure Lotus were to get hold of this Sword Supreme Token, there was a high chance that he would use it to ask for ransom from Li Canglan.
Li Canglan had no choice but to continue trying to escape. Although he had increased his speed, the big azure mouth was much faster.
“Haha, stop running! Let me eat you!”
Then, the big mouth increased in size. It became a giant black hole and absorbed all the sword auras together with the Sword Supreme Token and Supremacy Zi Yang.
Boom!
After a few moments, the mouth spat out a naked man and blasted him away when the flame exploded.
The man did not hesitate and quickly escaped.
The azure flame flew back to the palace, and the old Taoist priest appeared again. He was holding a storage ring and a golden color token.
“Li Canglan is so rich. He used a Sub-Immortal Metal to craft this token!” He looked at the token and smiled satisfactorily. “It’s mine now.”
Then, he opened his mouth and bit on the token.
Kek!
To everyone’s surprise, the old Taoist priest ate the token’s corner!
Shen Tian stood frozen.
What the hell… This token can be eaten? What!?
