Although it was a replica of the Purple Cloud Sword, its power was not insignificant, and its speed was astonishingly fast, reaching Li Hong in the blink of an eye.
Li Hong did not expect Zhu Xue to strike without warning. In a hurry, he could only summon the Starfire Shield.
With a loud crash, the Purple Cloud Sword struck the Starfire Shield. The outcome was clear: a High-Quality Magical Artifact against a Superior Spirit Artifact. The Starfire Shield flashed red and quickly shrank downwards. Li Hong hurriedly reached out to retrieve it. Upon closer inspection, he saw that a notch had already been cut into the Starfire Shield.
This magical artifact was ruined.
Li Hong was furious: "What a brazen woman! She actually destroyed my artifact!" He had already gripped the Little Celestial Pole Needle in his hand.
Seeing Li Hong at a disadvantage, Chu Xi waved her hands, and the Tissot Silk was summoned, wrapping both Li Hong and herself securely in its center with a seven-colored ribbon.
Nearby, Chuxiong let out a fierce roar: "It's you again, you foul woman!" He pulled something from his chest and threw it; a faintly glowing Purple Gold Bell suddenly appeared. It was the Mysterious Bell he had obtained from Li Hong. Chuxiong lunged forward, his fist as large as a bowl striking the Mysterious Bell.
The Mysterious Bell rang loudly, sending Ling Kong crashing towards Zhu Xue.
Zhu Xue quickly withdrew the Purple Cloud Sword for defense, firmly bracing the sword's body against the Mysterious Bell. She stood on another Flying Sword, stepping back while holding the Zixiao sword, but she could not withstand Chuxiong's divine strength.
Chuxiong sneered and was about to increase his force when suddenly someone shouted:
"Everyone stop!"
The speaker was Cande, the Golden Blade among the Emei Four Swords.
Li Hong was actually cautious; if it were just him against Chuxiong and Chu Xi, he wouldn't be worried at all. However, there were still about ten fellow disciples around him. If he clashed with the Emei people, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Thinking this through, he did not unleash the Little Celestial Pole Needle and called out: "Chuxiong! Retrieve the Mysterious Bell and listen to what Cande has to say!"
Chuxiong let out a cold snort, his muscular arms effortlessly pulling at the edge of the massive Mysterious Bell, dragging it back. His fierce eyes were wide open, clearly ready for a fight. His tall frame was not at all shorter than the enormous Mysterious Bell.
Zhu Xue withdrew her sword defensively, still shaken by Chuxiong's divine power, and muttered under her breath, "Where did this barbarian come from?"
Li Hong's eyes flickered, a murderous intent rising uncontrollably.
"Everyone, hold your fire! Listen to me first." Cande cast a deep glance at Li Hong, as if warning him. "There is indeed something suspicious going on, but we Emei people cannot die in vain. How about this: if you trust me, I invite all of you from the Nine Li Sect to join our Emei team until we exit the Ancient Celestial Field. What do you think?"
"Are you trying to take us all hostage?" With a flash of iridescence, Chu Xi shifted the Tissot Silk to her feet, while Flowing Crystal began to swirl around her. This indicated that she was already prepared.
"That's not how it should be said; there is strength in numbers. It's just right for everyone to travel together. We can look out for each other," Cande replied, his gaze flickering with a hint of an elusive smile.
Li Hongyu felt his anger rising, his Awareness in the Upper Dantian spinning rapidly. A glimmer of golden light faintly emanated from Yue Que, yet he remained oblivious as he tightened his grip on the Little Celestial Pole Needle.
"Cande is right. I fully support this idea; why don't we from the Nine Li Sect join forces with Emei and venture through the Ancient Celestial Field together!" Chu Huai exclaimed loudly, laughing heartily.
No one from the Nine Li Sect found it amusing; they all stared coldly at him. Only Chuxuan kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Li Hong couldn't help but sneer, "The Nine Li Sect merging with Emei? What does that make us? What about your master, Ling Xuzi, Sect Leader Uncle?"
He was about to continue when he noticed Chuxuan stepping forward and making a gesture behind his back.
Chuxuan then spoke loudly, "Alright! We will go with you, but..."
"But what? Who are you?" Cande realized that Chuxuan had spoken up and that Li Hong had not refuted him, immediately recognizing that Chuxuan was also someone significant.
"I am Chuxuan. We can walk with you, but you must promise to protect us with all your strength and not persecute us," Chuxuan said loudly.
Li Hong could hardly believe his ears; at a critical moment, this guy betrayed them again! Furious and about to retort, he suddenly heard Chuxuan transmit a message: "You take Chu Xi and Chuxiong Huifeng and leave quickly! I'll handle the aftermath; remember your mission!"
Mission! Li Hong immediately closed his mouth, which had just opened.
Cande replied with a smile, "Of course."
Chuxuan continued, "Do you dare to swear?"
"What is there to be afraid of?" Cande said joyfully. It was great to capture members of the Nine Li Sect without bloodshed. A series of oaths followed.
"Good!" Chuxuan flew over first and turned back to the others, saying, "Since that's the case, let's go with them. Everyone come over."
Chu Hai and the others glared angrily at each other. Just then, they heard Li Hong transmitting a message, instructing them to leave quickly. They didn't understand what Li Hong meant, and Chuxuan urged them repeatedly, so they had no choice but to turn back cautiously towards Chuxuan and Chu Hai.
The people from Emei opened a small gap in their encirclement to let them pass. Now only the four of them remained in the circle, looking grim: Li Hong and his companions.
Cande chuckled, "Hey, Chu Hong, since we've agreed, let's not be hostile. Come on, let's shake hands and make peace; we will need to travel together later!"
At that moment, Li Hong saw Chuxuan raise his hand and wave outward.
"Now's the time!" The four of them—Li Hong, Chu Xi, and Chuxiong Huifeng—attacked simultaneously.
The disciples of Emei surrounding Li Hong only saw a flash of silver light. Instinctively, they raised their Flying Sword to block it but were met with a burst of red light as flames erupted out of nowhere, charging straight at them. In an instant, they were engulfed in fire, causing panic as they screamed and fled in all directions.
At the same time, Chu Xiong shouted loudly, clashing his palms together. The "Mysterious Bell" emitted a deafening sound that crashed into the group of Emei disciples.
Chu Xihui directed the Flying Sword to defend behind Li Hong. The four of them worked together seamlessly, cutting open a gap and breaking through in an instant.
The crowd of Emei was thrown into chaos, and Zhu Xueqingqiong pursued with her sword drawn.
Cande shouted angrily, "You are being contradictory! Chuxuan, what do you have to say for yourself!" He summoned the "Golden Blade" and advanced toward Chuxuan.
Chuxuan replied loudly, "I agreed to go with you, but what can I do if Chu Hong and the others refuse? You have already sworn to protect us and not to persecute us. Are you planning to go back on your word?"
Cande was left speechless, but gradually, his eyes flickered as killing intent began to rise.
This person is cunning and must not be allowed to live!
However, Chuxuan had already seen through his thoughts and calmly said, "Now that my Sixth Senior Brother has left, how about a bet? Your people will definitely not catch up! If any one of us suffers even the slightest harm, you should know what the consequences will be without me having to say it."
"What a sly person!" Cande finally couldn't hold back his curses, but he could no longer muster any killing intent.
Chuxuan's expression remained indifferent; he had no desire to argue. His gaze turned toward the distant horizon.
The figures of Li Hong and the others were now only the size of mung beans, having gone far away, with a long string of pursuing sword shadows behind them. Leading the pursuers were Zhu Xue with the "Purple Cloud Sword" and Azure Sky with the "White Ribbon Sword."
********
Li Hong and his three companions flew ahead swiftly, while a long line of Emei disciples pursued relentlessly behind them.
Gradually, the differences in cultivation levels became apparent. Li Hong was at the front, with Chu Xi and Chuxiong side by side, while Hui Feng fell behind. Looking over at Emei, aside from Zhu Xue and Azure Sky, the others were also lagging behind.
Li Hong turned back and let out a cold laugh, grabbing Hui Feng's hand without hesitation. "Come on, use my Flying Sword!" He lifted her onto Lingyi.
Hui Feng wanted to struggle but ultimately decided against it. She took out a silver ribbon from her sleeve, preparing to tie it to Li Hong's Dragon Tail Whip belt.
Li Hong frowned. "That won't do; I still need to move! If you want to keep your distance, just hold onto my robe." With that, he lifted the corner of his robe and offered it to Hui Feng.
Hui Feng silently grabbed it.
Li Hong shouted back, "Second Brother Chu Xi, keep up with all your strength! Ahead is the Eighth Peak Basin; we have two more to go!"
Chu Xi perked up, understanding Li Hong's intention. As long as they flew to the Tenth Basin and then turned, they would definitely enter a new area where they could shake off the people from Emei.
Behind them, Zhu Xue was shouting and making a fuss. Seeing the arrogant woman Li Hong, anger surged within him. He tightly gripped the Little Celestial Pole Needle in his hand but eventually put it back into his Cosmic Bag.
He couldn't kill her; otherwise, Chuxuan and the others would be in big trouble.
He was puzzled about one thing: why had Chuxuan, who had always been at odds with him, changed so much upon entering the Ancient Celestial Field? Thanks to his quick thinking earlier, otherwise these people would have faced serious danger…
"Chuxuan, good luck," Li Hong silently wished.
In a moment, they had flown over the Ninth Basin. Li Hong prepared to fly straight through to the Tenth Basin and then turn.
To the west lay thick crimson Toxic Miasma. As they barely reached the center of the Basin, an alarm bell rang in Li Hong's heart. Instinctively, he maneuvered Lingyi sharply to change direction; Lingyi almost flipped upside down. Behind him, Hui Feng was caught off guard and let out a startled cry as the corner of Li Hong's robe tore away from her grasp, sending her plummeting downwards.
Li Hong hurriedly reached out to grab something. Chuxiong had already rushed up and hugged Hui Feng tightly.
A red orb the size of a water tank brushed past the two, shooting straight into the sky like a rocket.
Li Hong was drenched in cold sweat, wondering what that thing was.
Another red light suddenly shot up from the fiery Toxic Miasma below, flying straight towards Chu Xi.
Seeing it about to hit, Li Hong's hair stood on end as he shouted, "Be careful!" The Dragon Tail Whip quickly struck out, wrapping around Chu Xi and pulling her away.
Wave after wave of red light swayed upwards, targeting the four of them like fireworks, carrying an ominous stench and a pungent burnt smell.
There was something lurking in the Toxic Miasma below!
"Get out of here quickly!" Li Hong shouted.
Hui Feng had just broken free from Chuxiong's embrace and summoned her Flying Sword to fly swiftly when two more red lights shot towards her. She hurriedly dodged to the left. Chuxiong quickly followed, summoning the Mysterious Bell to protect them on either side, but they were getting further away from Li Hong and Chu Xi.
Li Hong was too preoccupied; waves of red light brushed past him and Chu Xi, increasing in number and making it nearly impossible to evade.
The strange creature hiding in the Toxic Miasma was completely invisible. The only solution was to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Everyone split up; we'll meet at Tenth Peak!" Li Hong shouted, tightening his grip as he quickly flew towards the right edge of the Basin with Chu Xi.
They barely made it when a familiar purple glow flashed before them. It was Zhu Xue's Purple Cloud Sword.
She stood atop the high Summit, laughing sharply, "You might as well go back and feed the monsters!"
Li Hong was filled with rage. He suddenly flipped his body upside down, his toes pressing down as Awareness surged forth, and Lingyi Iridescence erupted to meet the attack head-on.
With a thunderous bang, Lingyi remained unscathed, while the Purple Cloud Sword dimmed in brilliance and shot back in retreat.
Lingyi was Li Hong's Superior Spirit Artifact cultivated through his own efforts. His cultivation was originally superior to Zhu Xue's, and he put all his strength into this move. Zhu Xue never expected that in such a short time, Li Hong's power had greatly increased, and she miscalculated once again.
Zhu Xue on the high Summit trembled violently, her joints cracking as Purple Blood flowed from the corner of her lips, rendering her speechless. The Purple Cloud Sword clattered back to her feet, now bearing a tiny chip on its blade.
With a crackling sound, this imitation Celestial Artifact, a Superior Spirit Artifact, began to fracture at the chip, icy cracks spreading across the blade as it was shattered by Li Hong on the spot.
Zhu Xue spewed blood wildly and collapsed to the ground.
Azure Sky was alarmed, "Junior Sister!" and rushed over.
"That feels good! This is what you call tit for tat!" Li Hong laughed heartily as he swiftly flew away with Chu Xi.
