Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 173 - 171: The Alchemy Emperor Breaks Free
The royal residence was unusually quiet, making Xu Yang pause in surprise.
"Could it be that everyone’s already been sent away?"
Xu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, then fell into deep thought!
The Zheng Clan are the guardians of the Northern Territory!
If these powerful ones escape, they’ll surely be cursed as cowards afterward!
They cannot run!
But for everyone else, it’s different.
Escaping and hiding is much better than being captured!
"Looks like they were already prepared!"
"To think, the royal residence would ultimately be broken this way!"
Xu Yang let out a sigh!
Soon, his gaze grew resolute and he swiftly darted toward the small building where Liou Yunfeng had once stayed.
He didn’t come across anyone the entire way.
He arrived, safe and sound, at the woods beside the building.
Only then did Xu Yang exhale in relief, then summoned the Six Heavenly Skills out of thin air!
After dozens of breaths.
A faint ripple stirred in the air.
Gu Jun was nowhere to be seen, but his voice quietly rang out, "Xu Yang?"
"Senior, it’s me!"
"Has the time come?" Gu Jun was rather surprised. So soon?
Xu Yang spoke gravely, "The Barbarian Race has invaded!"
"Barbarian Race?"
Gu Jun drew a sharp breath—the hell was happening outside?
But he knew things were critical out there and didn’t ask much: "Throw the Breaking Forbidden Elixir over!"
Xu Yang’s arrival here meant it had surely been refined successfully.
Xu Yang immediately tossed the Breaking Forbidden Elixir over.
Buzz!
The air twisted slightly, enveloping it out of nowhere!
"Huh, at this level, you can even hold it sealed!" Gu Jun was stunned.
Such a Breaking Forbidden Elixir was far beyond his expectations.
Xu Yang smiled bitterly, forced by necessity!
"Senior, will it work?"
"More than enough!"
Gu Jun was unable to hide his excitement!
Hundreds of years—it’s finally time to leave this place!
Even as a Pill Emperor, he couldn’t stay calm!
Soon, he forcefully sent out a wisp of senses, and the moment he sensed, his heart shook violently!
The chaotic, overwhelming surges from outside made his heart pound in dread!
The Barbarian Race invaded...
Gu Jun’s mind raced, quickly saying, "Stay hidden nearby; I’ll wait a bit longer. The battle outside’s fierce—if any aftershocks spill in, it’ll help break the seal more easily!"
Xu Yang’s face lit up with joy.
He swiftly hid, suppressed his aura, and watched the movements outside vigilantly.
The air quietly settled, restoring to normal!
"Zheng Yiming, Zheng Yuanhuang, give up resisting!"
"Don’t think I actually won’t kill you!"
"To die here like this is far too much a waste!"
"Barbarian scum, even in death, I will not let you disgrace me!"
"We of the Zheng Clan defend the Northern Territory, already prepared for death with honor!"
...
Amidst the series of furious roars, the fighting grew even fiercer.
The vast Beixuan City was quickly reduced to endless ruins!
Ordinary Martial Artists couldn’t even get out—outside, the Barbarian army had surrounded everything, their only option: despair and surrender!
Somewhere within the city.
The Wuhou Hall and many from the royal residence were gathered together!
Gon Lang took out a spirit seal, poured True Essence into it, activating it!
Zheng Qi looked back unwillingly, eyes red!
After this battle, the royal residence was as good as gone!
For the Zheng Clan, it was an immeasurable blow!
Though Zheng Xuan was still here!
All this had happened far too suddenly!
With the Haoyang Heaven-Sealing Array cast over, nobody could do anything!
"What on earth is Dong Du doing?"
"It’s been ages and not even a hint of action!"
Zheng Qi bit his lip, growling in fury.
Everyone looked at Zheng Qi with complicated expressions!
Gon Lang sighed—he too was filled with endless confusion.
True Kings may be rare, may rarely appear, but Daqian could not possibly have none!
Nearly a month now!
Such huge turmoil, yet no response at all—it was just bizarre!
Could it be... they’re really abandoning the Northern Territory?
Or is there some other reason?
No one knows a thing!
"Let’s go!"
Gon Lang gave a low shout, his spirit seal burst forth with a ring of spirit light, covering them all!
The next instant, everyone vanished into thin air!
Outside the city, a Barbarian expert suddenly raised his eyebrows, looking eastward.
"Tsk tsk, there are survivors after all!"
"Men, follow me!"
A group of Barbarians began to chase through the wild hills.
Above the royal residence, violent storms rampaged, buildings collapsing into ruin! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Ribbons, dust, spirit light—like blades, like swords—shredding everything in their path!
The once grand and solemn royal residence was swiftly torn to pieces!
Xu Yang’s face was deathly pale—not even daring to raise his head!
The shockwaves alone left him powerless to resist.
Inside, he was more anxious and nervous than ever!
Had the chance still not come?
Just as he was hoping, a battered silhouette crashed down tragically, right toward the woods.
Bang!
A massive blade of light crashed from the sky, slashing him dead!
Wild energies overflowed, destroying the woods utterly!
Xu Yang’s face changed drastically—he retreated hurriedly but couldn’t dodge it all, muffled grunt, blood at his lips!
He shrank in the ruins, holding down his terror, not daring to make a sound!
That powerful Barbarian Martial Artist seemed not to notice Xu Yang, leaving after killing his foe.
The Qian King’s Seal above drew the attention of many Barbarian experts!
As the foe departed, the air below twisted abruptly.
Crack!
With a crisp sound, space split open, a pitch-black rift appeared.
A blurry phantom drifted out.
Xu Yang was full of delight.
"Senior, here!"
Swish!
Gu Jun flashed to Xu Yang’s side like lightning.
"This pendant’s perfect—just right for me to hide in!"
He dove straight into the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant.
"Go, quick—the Array’s collapsing, and chaos is about to erupt!"
Hearing this, Xu Yang’s face changed dramatically, knowing this was terrible for him!
He dashed away toward outside at lightning speed.
Just as he burst out of the residence, a squad of Barbarians appeared ahead!
"Damn it!"
Xu Yang froze, his expression extremely grim!
