Chapter 276 -274: Ancestor Xu Reemerges
Golden Creek Valley, a valley full of golden shrubs.
Hundreds of years ago, this place was still the territory of the Human Clan, and there were even some villages nearby. Unfortunately, later on, this area was taken over by the forces of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. The people of the Human Clan were either killed or moved out, and the villages had long been deserted. However, Golden Creek Valley was still as golden as ever, year after year.
“Swish…”
Above the jungle, a figure of a young woman skimmed low over the treetops—the Seven-Colored Peacock.
At this moment, she was covered with wounds. Her white dress was almost dyed red with blood, and the injuries on her body crisscrossed each other, especially a cut on her neck. Thankfully, due to the thick skin and coarse flesh of a Nascent Soul Demon Beast, the main artery was narrowly missed.
“Shen Luoyan…”
A vicious gleam shone in the eyes of the Seven-Colored Peacock.
Using her Nascent Soul Divine Ability, she had finally shaken off Shen Luoyan, Long Xingtian, and others, which made the Seven-Colored Peacock feel as though she escaped from the clutches of death. Slaying Immortal Tower had always remained neutral and never interfered with the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and there was no precedent for anyone from Slaying Immortal Tower to break into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Otherwise, other Demon Kings within the mountain range would not have stood idly by.
The Seven-Colored Peacock operated her Concealing Breath Divine Ability, almost completely hiding her breath, while maintaining a low and slow flight to avoid being detected by Shen Luoyan’s Divine Sense. Now that she had entered Golden Creek Valley, it was as if she had stepped into the doorstep of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But just at this moment, a vague figure suddenly sprang up from within the woods—a thin and emaciated old Cultivator, emitting the aura of the early stages of the Golden Core.
“What is this?!”
Even with serious injuries to her Cultivation, the Seven-Colored Peacock naturally did not take such an insignificant Golden Core early stage ant seriously. However, just as she was about to obliterate him with a slap, the old Cultivator waved his hand, launching numerous Array Flags and Array Plates, and to her surprise, a First-tier High-quality Five Elements Wander Array soared into the sky in an instant!
At that moment, the Five Elements Wander Array rose, enveloping the Seven-Colored Peacock within it.
“This…”
The Seven-Colored Peacock suddenly burst into laughter, shaking so violently that her chest trembled. There were actually people in this world foolish enough to try using a first-tier Array to trap a Nascent Soul Demon Beast?
Even a severely injured Nascent Soul Demon Beast could not be trapped by a mere first-tier Array.
Of course, this thin and emaciated elder was not any kind of Golden Core Cultivator, but rather one of Ning Daoran’s Class A Paperfolk.
There was no other reason; there were millions of paths from Immortal White Dragon City to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and there was no reason that Ning Daoran could simply pick a spot and block the injured Seven-Colored Peacock returning home.
Thus, Ning Daoran adopted a tactic akin to the Maginot Line, deploying over a hundred Paperfolk and setting up a hundred ambush points as dense as an airtight net.
Each Paperfolk was equipped with at least one Magic Artifact or Array.
Golden Creek Valley was a point of defense emphasis, so the Paperfolk stationed here was a Class A Paperfolk, even equipped with a Five Elements Wander Array to stall for time, while Ning Daoran himself waited for the prey within a forest miles away.
“Truly laughable!”
The Seven-Colored Peacock gently raised her hand, pushing out with Nascent Soul Stage mana.
“Bang-Bang-Bang~~~”
Amid the loud noises, the six Array Flags and Array Plates of the Five Elements Wander Array exploded simultaneously, unable to withstand the powerful mana, forgoing repairing the Array, and meeting total destruction.
“Monster!”

The thin and emaciated old man shouted, engaging in a fight with the Evergreen Technique.
Two rounds later…
“Crack!”
The Seven-Colored Peacock grabbed the old man’s neck with one hand and his thigh with another, and with a light sound, she tore the thin and emaciated old man apart, but after tearing him apart, there was no fresh flesh and blood for her to heal with, the scattered blood and organs turned into scraps of paper shrouded with heavy Yin Qi.
“Paperfolk Technique?”
The Seven-Colored Peacock slightly stiffened and knitted her brows before turning to look elsewhere.
Above the jungle, a figure was rushing over—it was Ning Daoran.
“You again!”
A sneer appeared on the face of the Seven-Colored Peacock. “How? You think just because this king is injured, your chance has come? Kid, you think too highly of yourself. Do you really think you can ambush me with just your strength?”
“Why not give it a try?”
Ning Daoran gripped his Big Green Dragon sword and moved forward slowly, the aura of the Evergreen Technique continuously rising around him.
“Good.”
The corner of the Seven-Colored Peacock’s mouth lifted slightly in admiration. “It’s rare to see a Human Clan Cultivator who can cultivate the Evergreen Technique to such a level. It seems you have a good Spirit Root. If I’m not mistaken, it should be a First Grade Wood Spirit Root, right?”
Ning Daoran was slightly taken aback and frowned. “Correct. How did you know?”
“Hmph…”
The Seven-Colored Peacock said with a light chuckle: “Why bother with this nonsense? Are you perhaps trying to stall for time?”
In the next moment, three figures leaped up from three different directions around the Seven-Colored Peacock, all Ning Daoran’s Paperfolk, followed by a Second Order High Grade All Heavens Hidden Thunder Array that rose up and trapped the Seven-Colored Peacock within it.
“Success!”
A thought crossed Ning Daoran’s mind as he rapidly slapped his Storage Bag, and a large number of Array Flags and Array Plates flew out, immediately stacking formations one on top of another!
From the Third-tier Flowing Fire Demon God Array, White Feather Flowing Sound Array, Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation, to the First-tier Small Green Bamboo Array, Five Elements Wander Array, the focus was to fortify an impenetrable barrier!
“You…”
The face of the Seven-Colored Peacock finally changed. Being able to arrange so many Arrays in an instant, and having these Arrays seamlessly overlay one another, a Human Clan Cultivator of such capability could not be left alive; such a person would inevitably become a big threat to the Demon Clan!
“Kill!”
Without any hesitation, Ning Daoran released a twenty-four sword Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation!
“Preposterous!”
The Seven-Colored Peacock sneered, raised her hand lightly, and suddenly a sky full of flying feathers assaulted them. These feathers were extremely sturdy, capable of colliding with the Golden Silk Sword in mid-air without breaking!
Truly, as a Nascent Soul Demon Beast, her reserves were profoundly deep!
Ning Daoran released a group of Paperfolk for a combined attack while continuously operating his Liangyi Sword Technique, manipulating the Golden Silk Sword to attack from all directions. At this moment, he had a strong killing intent. If he did not personally slay this Seven-Colored Peacock, he would find it hard to face the spirit of the Nolan couple in heaven!
“Kid, you’re thinking too much!”
The Seven-Colored Peacock swung her sleeves, a giant Seven-Colored Peacock Dharma Image forming behind her, charging at the Array while her mouth was filled with a mocking laugh: “With these trivial skills of yours, you can never hold this king.”
Indeed, with continuous “Boom-Boom-Boom” explosions, the stacked formation simply could not stop her.
Even though the Seven-Colored Peacock had been severely injured by Shen Luoyan’s Sword Technique, her body was still being ravaged by countless Sword Intents, but she was still at the Nascent Soul Stage, maintaining her Cultivation and not falling into the Golden Core Stage.
Thus, with the push of Nascent Soul Stage mana, first the first-tier Array, followed by the second-tier Array, all shattered one by one!
In the end, even the Array Flags of the Third-tier White Feather Flowing Sound Array began to crack and were on the verge of breaking.
‘Not good!’
Ning Daoran furrowed his eyebrows, a miscalculation. It was true, he couldn’t kill this Nascent Soul Demon Beast. If all the third-tier Arrays were destroyed here, it would be quite troubling, especially the Flowing Fire Demon God Array, which would be very difficult to recreate without a Nascent Soul Demon Core.
“Whoosh-Whoosh-Whoosh~~~”
Without any hesitation, he quickly retracted any undamaged Arrays and leaped back towards the direction of Immortal White Dragon City for a swift retreat.
“Thinking of leaving?”
The Seven-Colored Peacock’s face was filled with killing intent.
“Tower Master Shen!”
Ning Daoran shouted loudly toward the distance: “The Seven-Colored Peacock is here, allow me to assist you in slaying this beast!”
That loud yell, whether or not Shen Luoyan was present, frightened the Seven-Colored Peacock so much that her soul flew out, and she quickly turned to flee!
…
Needless to say, Shen Luoyan had not come, Ning Daoran was bluffing her. But it proved effective; even the title of the Tower Master held such weight that the Nascent Soul Demon turned and ran at the mention of it!
Watching the Seven-Colored Peacock’s fleeing figure, Ning Daoran furrowed his brow, still not satisfied.
After casting a spell, he once again used the Earth Escape to burrow into the ground.
He immediately released another Class A Paperfolk, which operated the Perfect Level Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique to conceal its breath, tracking the Seven-Colored Peacock from a moderate distance.
Not too long afterwards, dozens of miles away from this Paperfolk, another Class A Paperfolk was tracking the first one.
Then, a third Paperfolk was tracking the second one.
Thus, repeating this pattern…
At a safe distance a hundred miles away, Ning Daoran’s true body was able to keep track of the Seven-Colored Peacock’s every action.
“Annoying flies…”
In the distance, the Seven-Colored Peacock flicked her sleeve, and a Sorcery spell burst out, instantly destroying the first Class A Paperfolk.
But the second Paperfolk quickly took its place.
Irritated but without recourse, the Seven-Colored Peacock, now suffering from serious injuries, did not feel like dealing with Ning Daoran, the useless man who would run away when overpowered.
…
Thus, Ning Daoran dispatched Paperfolk to track the Seven-Colored Peacock deep into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Running the Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique the entire time, they fortunately did not attract the attention of other Demon Beasts.
Half an hour later.
Plum Blossom Valley, a stream valley filled with peach blossoms, the heartland of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. The Spiritual Energy here was not very strong, and no Great Demons dominated the area, only some Plum Blossom Deer grazed everywhere.
“Yoo-Yoo~~~”
Amidst the calls of the deer, sensing the Spiritual Pressure of a Nascent Soul Demon King, herds of Plum Blossom Deer scampered away.
“Hmm?”
The Seven-Colored Peacock, in her young woman form, frowned and sniffed the air as if she had caught a whiff of a different scent.
“This…”
While she hesitated, a Talisman tore through the air and exploded near the Seven-Colored Peacock!
“Boom—”
Amidst the loud noise, the space within dozens of feet was completely chaotic!
It was a Fourth-tier Lower Grade Prohibition Breaking Talisman!
Once a Prohibition Breaking Talisman reached the fourth tier, it could not only cause severe damage to Prohibitions and Arrays, penetrate Illusions, etc., but also disrupt spatial rules, hindering a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator from Instant Teleportation temporarily!
And at the moment this Fourth-tier Lower Grade Prohibition Breaking Talisman exploded, an Array soared up, a deep blue sea with countless surging waves inside, instantly engulfing the breath of the Seven-Colored Peacock!
Illusion Sea Storm Array, a Third-tier top-grade array!
Above, a figure descended like a giant sword wrapped in starlight, and numerous sword lights gathered to form a piercing thrust at the Seven-Colored Peacock trapped within the Illusion Sea Storm Array!
“Boom!”
The loud noise resounded through the valley, and the plum blossoms trembled.
Although the Seven-Colored Peacock swiftly formed wings to block the strike, feathers were sent flying, adding injury upon injury.
“Fiend!”
High in the sky, a figure in white stood tall, his eyes filled with coldness as he stared straight at the trapped Seven-Colored Peacock, “You killed my son, do you think I would let you off easily?!”
The newcomer was none other than Ancestor Xu!
…
“Hoh?”
A hundred miles away, Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes as he watched the spectacle unfold.
What a twist! It seemed that the rumors of Ancestor Xu’s demise in Immortal White Dragon City were nothing but a feigned death, and the rumor might very well have been spread by Ancestor Xu himself.
Ning Daoran was in no hurry to take action. This time he wanted to play it safe, for he wouldn’t make a move until Ancestor Xu and the Seven-Colored Peacock weren’t locked in a deadly battle that neither could walk away from.
