The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 733 - 327: Taoist Senior

The words from the fat wizard left Xu Xuanhu shaken inside.

The other party was unexpectedly from the Taoist sect.

He truly didn’t anticipate this.

However, Xu Xuanhu himself had also cultivated the Golden Core Right Method passed down by his father, but he was very cautious to conceal it.

Due to the inheritance left by the old priest, his outward appearance was indeed that of an authentic wizard.

Moreover, the Golden Core Right Method inherently contained methods to restrain one’s aura.

Could it be that since the other party was a high-level Taoist sect person, they sensed the similar aura on him?

Xu Xuanhu speculated internally.

But he didn’t immediately agree.

The fat Daoist didn’t give him the chance to refuse.

Directly slipped a Thunder Talisman into his hand and then disappeared within the crowd.

Just now, the conversation between the two was conducted through transmitted sound.

Therefore, Xu Xuanhu wasn’t worried about anyone overhearing.

He was just weighing the pros and cons of this matter.

If he used the Thunder Talisman, he could immediately escape. With the speed of the Wind Thunder Wings, generally only the old ancestor of the Qinggang Clan could catch up to him.

If a massive disturbance were created at the Qinggang Market, then even if the matter of the Spirit Rice were exposed, it would be overshadowed.

His father had once said, solving a problem doesn’t necessarily require solving the problem itself; it can also be resolved by creating a bigger issue to cover the original problem.

Should he truly follow the suggestion of this Taoist senior?

Firstly, since the other party is from the Taoist sect, they naturally wouldn’t collude with the Barbarians.

From a standpoint, this wasn’t a trap set by the Qinggang Clan.

Is the Taoist sect of this world scheming a secret counterattack?

Xu Xuanhu pondered many things for a moment.

But he soon made a decision.

Because he heard the transmitted sound.

"Before sunset, if the young friend doesn’t use the Thunder Talisman, perhaps the Qinggang Clan will know about the young friend’s tribe possessing a spirit field."

He hated such threats.

But there was no time to think now.

There was less than a quarter-hour till sunset.

Xu Xuanhu went to the southeast corner of Qinggang Market.

With his insight, he surely could locate where the array base was.

There were dedicated personnel guarding here, not allowing idle people to approach.

The guard noticed Xu Xuanhu, this unfamiliar wizard, approaching and showed alertness, "Friend, this isn’t where you should be, please leave quickly."

Xu Xuanhu didn’t speak, directly took out a Thunder Talisman, infusing True Qi into it.

A lightning flash lit up.

He breathed out and shouted,

"Command!"

This was to facilitate the operation of True Qi and also to let outsiders know that it was a Taoist cultivator taking action.

The Thunder Talisman transformed into a stream of light striking the array base.

The two guards promptly dodged.

The forbidden technique at the array base couldn’t withstand this powerful Thunder Talisman.

And at this moment, Xu Xuanhu had already activated the Wind Thunder Wings, speeding off like the wind.

Halfway in the sky, he glanced back.

The power of the Thunder Talisman was beyond what he had imagined.

A tiny mushroom cloud rose in the southeast corner of Qinggang Market.

And the instigator had long escaped swiftly.

Xu Xuanhu fled in a direction completely opposite to the Qingshui Tribe.

He flew out for hundreds of miles before stopping.

Not because True Qi was depleted.

He adjusted his breath at a cliff, then towards the nearby void, "Senior, I’ve completed the task you instructed, please give me this bag of Spirit Rice."

A ripple appeared in the void, and a fat wizard emerged, "How did you know I was here."

"I guessed."

"You’re quite clever." The fat wizard casually threw out a small beast-skin bag.

After catching it, Xu Xuanhu burned it to ashes with a flame without even looking.

The fat wizard looked at him approvingly and said leisurely, "I am Zhang Ziran. If you want to find me, you can leave a message at Immortal Crane Rock, and I’ll know by then."

While speaking, he transformed into a breeze, disappearing from Xu Xuanhu’s sight.

Xu Xuanhu noted this sentence secretly.

Immortal Crane Rock is near the Qingshui Tribe.

That was also named by the Qingshui Tribe.

The other party clearly knew his origins yet Xu Xuanhu knew nothing about Zhang Ziran, except that he was a Taoist senior.

However, Xu Xuanhu suspected the person was the Taoist cultivator who suddenly appeared in Black Water State in recent years.

This person was rumored to look like a youth, not matching the face of the fat wizard before him.

But Xu Xuanhu suspected it was a disguise by the other party.

Xu Xuanhu made a big circle before returning to the Qingshui Tribe.

For the next period, he instructed the tribe not to venture outside lightly and directed Xingyao to discreetly gather outside information.

Sure enough, due to the incident at Qinggang Market, the Qinggang Clan had no time for other matters, focusing their efforts on this event.

Moreover, the Qinggang Clan leveraged this incident to take action against several tribes with considerable strength in Great Black Mountain.

Because they didn’t consider it done by the Taoist sect, suspecting it was these tribes.

In the Jiuli World, weakness is the greatest sin.

Even without this incident, the Qinggang Clan evidently aimed to target them.

These tribes clearly understood this point, so they fought back when the Qinggang Clan acted.

They knew well that they had no other choice.

Xu Xuanhu understood that if things continued to develop as such, similar circumstances would fall upon the Qingshui Tribe someday.

He could only continue accumulating strength.

...

...

In a secluded valley.

The fat wizard Xu Xuanhu encountered was now being pursued by a fireball.

In truth, this fireball had chased him for quite a while.

Vaguely, a shadow of a three-legged golden crow could be seen within the fireball.

"Black Mountain old demon, don’t think you can subdue me with a single Sun God Fire of Magic with Primordial Spirit." The fat wizard waved his sleeve, striking the fireball with lightning.

But the fireball didn’t dissipate.

"Xu Gongming, stop your Heavenly Demon Skill tricks, I know it’s you." A deep voice emerged from the fireball.

The fat wizard sneered, transforming into the form of a young Daoist.

This was the current physical form of the old Heavenly Master but was also the Demon King Protector of Xu Qing.

The Demon King Protector was created by Xu Qing through Heavenly Demon Transformation, thus considered one with Xu Qing.

"If you want to keep fighting, I’ll accompany you to the end." The young Daoist said faintly.

"Seems you finally broke through to creator, speaking with such confidence."

"It’s better than you, a venerable Heavenly Immortal, being imprisoned in a cage."

"Hmph, if you don’t want to be trapped in the Pure Yang Realm, you will sooner or later need to come."

"If I’m not mistaken, the two old guys beside you have erased their selves. How much time do you have?" The young Daoist responded unabashedly.

The deep voice in the fireball replied, "Such is the process of Transformation, do you think you will escape it in the future?"

"Seems you do know more than me. If you’re willing to divulge these secrets, we can think of a solution together." The young Daoist’s tone shifted.

"No harm in telling you. The Taixu Three Thousand Realms, each of the Three Thousand Great Dao has a master. Once you achieve Heavenly Immortal, whether rushing into Taiyi or advancing to Da Luo, the ultimate result is Transformation, not ’Refining Void and Integration’. Unless a master of the Dao falls, only then do we have a chance."

"Then what of Lu Zu, Shakyamuni, Chongyang True Master?"

"They are merely the manifestations of those Taiyi and Da Luo." The tone of the Black Mountain old demon within the fireball bore a tinge of mockery.

Xu Qing naturally understood what a manifestation was; it was a mythical level existence, a guise to resolve worldly karma. Once the matter is settled, it dissipates.

"How can we make them fall?" The young Daoist asked directly.

"You have that mirror, you’ll know sooner or later. Even if I tell you now, it’s pointless."

"What about your Taiqing Bell?" The young Daoist suddenly changed the topic.

"With your mirror, there’s no need to ask about the bell. Unfortunately, if I could use that mirror, you would have met your doom long ago."

The words from the Black Mountain old demon shocked Xu Qing.

Turns out the old demon simply couldn’t use the bronze mirror.

"So, is the Taiqing Bell inferior to this mirror?"

"There’s no need for you to probe, I might not know as much about the mirror as you do. Heh, it doesn’t matter. When you reach my realm, you’ll understand true despair."

"Ahead, there is no path."

...

...

In the Pure Yang Realm, Great Yu Dynasty.

Xu Qing heard the last whispers of the Black Mountain old demon.

"Ahead, there is no path..."

It rang like a curse of despair.
