Zhao Yu said indifferently, "What I''ve said is nothing but the truth! As for why Fairy Lingxia would assassinate ck Cloud Fiend, do we even need to question the reason?"


    True Master withered Wood''s eyes dimmed slightly as he vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.


    That millennium Spirit Jade Mystic Turtle Lotus was a rare treasure that could grant one a second life, such that even True Master Withered Wood could not guarantee that he wouldn''t betray his own principles and conscience when faced with such treasures.


    San Jue Schr gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely, "Impossible, it must be your malicious intent to murder and seize treasures!"


    True Master Withered Wood immediately grabbed San Jue Schr''s shoulder and shouted sternly, "Silence! It is absolutely impossible for Fellow Daoist Zhao Yu to do such a thing!"


    San Jue Schr then slightly calmed down, feeling a trace of chill in his heart. He was no fool and realized instantly that if Zhao Yu was not lying, then with the demise of both King Green Jiao and Fairy Lingxia at the hands of Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu''s strength was not something he could provoke.


    San Jue Schr bowed with his hands sped and said, "My apologies, Fellow Daoist Zhao, I was too impulsive! The tragic death of a dear friend caused me to lose myposure!"


    Zhao Yu said indifferently, "You don''t need to apologize! Now that you two have heard about the death of the Young Pce Master of Jiao Shen Pce by my hand, you only have two paths to choose from. One is to swallow the deadly poison from my hand and serve me from now on, and the other is to die here!"


    The expressions of San Jue Schr and True Master Withered Wood changed dramatically in an instant.


    "Fellow Daoist Zhao, I can swear that I will absolutely not divulge this matter! Please allow me to leave this ce!"


    A serious expression shed through the eyes of San Jue Schr as he directly brought out his lifebound magic treasure, the Stormsand Precious Fan. A silver fan floated directly above his head, and he watched Zhao Yu warily.


    True Master Withered Wood also looked solemn as he directly brought out his lifebound magic treasure, the Withered me Saber: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, I too can swear that I will not divulge this matter. If I vite this vow, let me be unable to advance to the middle stage of Nascent Soul in this life!"


    Zhao Yu said slowly, "Only those who are under control and the dead can keep secrets! If you two do not wish to submit, then you may go to your deaths!"


    The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor''s eyes shed fiercely, and his gray corpse qi billowed about. The fierce light in his eyes kept shing as he unyieldingly faced the two, San Jue Schr and True Master Withered Wood.


    "Zhao Yu, don''t bully people too far!"


    San Jue Schr bellowed loudly and spurred his lifebound magic treasure, the Stormsand Precious Fan.


    The Stormsand Precious Fan burst forth with resplendent spiritual light. With a single fan, a gale arose, and grains of rice-sized sand flew out from the fan. Growingrger in the wind, they turned into massive boulders the size of ten zhang that rolled towards Zhao Yu.@@novelbin@@


    True Master Withered Wood also directly brought forth the Withered me Saber. With a sh towards Zhao Yu, a hundred-zhang-long crimson de of me exploded forth, shing straight at Zhao Yu.


    Zhao Yu first used the Mountain Divine Light Technique, with divine lights of mountain after mountain appearing in an instant, protecting himself. Then, he brought out the magic treasure, Mountain Seal, from which Earth Maism Mystical Light shot out, sweeping towards both San Jue Schr and True Master Withered Wood.


    Suddenly, San Jue Schr and True Master Withered Wood felt a weight upon them as if they were bearing a mountain on their backs.


    The sand and stones shot from the Stormsand Precious Fan collided with Zhao Yu''s Mountain Divine Light, only to be deflected one after another.


    The crimson de of me from the Withered me Saber also struck Zhao Yu''s Mountain Divine Light and was simrly blocked, unable to breach the light''s defense.


    The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor''s figure flickered, appearing in front of San Jue Schr as swift as lightning, and delivered a punch directly at San Jue Schr with great force.


    The color on San Jue Schr''s face changed slightly. With a stern shout, he brought out a magical treasure called the Primordial Light Cone. The light from the cone shed, and it instantly struck the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor''s chest.


    ng!


    Along with a crisp sound, the Primordial Light Cone pierced into the chest of the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor and was then stuck in his body, unable to move.


    The greatest strength of the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperory in its formidable bodily defense, so extraordinary that even a Nascent Soul Cultivator like San Jue Schr, wielding a magical treasure, could only cause a minor injury and not deal a lethal blow.


    Seizing the opportunity, the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperornded a heavy punch at San Jue Schr.


    The Triumphant Schr gritted his teeth and sacrificed a Spirit Talisman in front of him.


    The Nine Extremities Corpse Emperor smashed the talisman with a punch, its momentum undiminished, and struck the Triumphant Schr''s body, sting him into pieces.


    A sh of earthy yellow Spiritual Light, and the Triumphant Schr reappeared a thousand feet away, hisplexion pale.


    No sooner had the Triumphant Schr materialized than a gust of ck wind blew past, and the White Ghost Emperor eerily appeared behind him, piercing through his chest with a w and directly crushing his heart.


    The Triumphant Schr''s Nascent Soul fled in panic from his forehead.


    The White Ghost Emperor reached out with a w, seized the Triumphant Schr''s Nascent Soul, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew vigorously.


    "I surrender! Zhao Yu, I am willing to take the poison and serve you as my master!"


    Upon witnessing this scene, the Dry Wood True Monarch felt a chill in his heart and heaved a resigned sigh, ceasing his resistance. He himself had only the Cultivation Level of the Nascent Soul Second Layer, and knowing well his own limitations against the Nine Extremities Corpse Emperor, he chose to surrender when faced with a dire situation.


    "Drink it!"


    With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yu sent a bottle of the eerie Corpse Poison, refined by the Nine Extremities Corpse Emperor, flying towards the Dry Wood True Monarch.


    The Dry Wood True Monarch drained the Corpse Poison in one gulp.


    Zhao Yu said, "Dry Wood True Monarch, I wish to upy this ancient ruin as the foundation for my base, and I would ask for your help!" Experience tales at empire


    The Dry Wood True Monarch said, "Yes! My lord!"


    Zhao Yu said, "Then I would ask you to take action and hunt down the invading demonic tribe''s powerhouses on this ind; the more you kill, the better!"


    "Yes!"


    The Dry Wood True Monarch instantly transformed into an Escape Light and flew out to begin hunting the powerhouses of the demonic tribe on the ind.


    Zhao Yu went on to search other pces of the Yellow Emperor Sect but found nothing of value, with the most valuable being the many evergreen trees that had been growing within the sect for ten thousand years.


    The Evergreen Tree is a verymon spiritual wood. A thousand-year Evergreen Tree is already a Third Order wood-attribute Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, which can be used in the Refinement of wood-attribute Flying Swords. A ten-thousand-year Evergreen Tree is already a Fourth Order wood-attribute Heavenly and Earthly Treasure.


    Naturally, the Evergreen Tree has a lifespan, and ten thousand years is their limit. However, within the Yellow Emperor Sect, there are lush Evergreen Trees everywhere, and these are all Fourth Order wood-attribute Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, sufficient to refine into Supreme Grade magic treasures usable by Nascent Soul Cultivators.


    Aside from the ten-thousand-year Evergreen Trees in the Yellow Emperor Sect, there are many scattered ten-thousand-year Spiritual Medicines, which are treasures that grew naturally over these years. Zhao Yu casually walked around and found several of them.


    Zhao Yu released the Nascent Soul Levelbat forces of the White Ghost Emperor, the Red Emperor, and the Dry Wood True Monarch to hunt magical beasts, while he observed the Spirit Vein patterns in the Yellow Emperor Sect ruins, looking for various nodes of Spiritual Power, preparing to set up the Mountainous Profound Light Great Array.


    Inside a cave mansion within the Yellow Emperor Sect ruins.


    "The most precious thing on ck Cloud Fiend is the ten-thousand-year Spirit Jade Mystic Turtle Lotus, apart from that are the several Supreme Grade magic treasures he possesses, just perfect for protecting Xian Jiao and others."


    "Fairy Lingxia, General Lan, and the Triumphant Schr have rather ordinary resources."


    "The Azure Dragon King does have many rare resources, but they are of little use to me."


    "The most precious treasure I''ve acquired from this trip to the Yellow Emperor Sect is this, the Metal Immortal Chart!"


    Zhao Yu took out the Metal Immortal Chart, a hint of fervor shed in his eyes. Gripping the Immortal Chart, his Divine Sense swept over it, and he immediately sensed that within the Metal Immortal Chart was a vast continentparable to that within the Earth Immortal Map.
