Chapter 349: Chapter 284: Preparing to Run Away (Extra Chapter for Monthly Ticket)_2

The Burning-tailed Zither, this Spiritual Treasure, had already reached the Mid-grade Fourth Rank.

Yet, its spirit was obstinately uncooperative. Unless Fang Xing became of Mu family blood, it would just not work with him.

Of course, his mana had been somewhat lacking before so he couldn’t subdue the Artifact Spirit of the Burning-tailed Zither.

But now, having truly advanced and become a Nascent Soul Early Stage Sword Cultivator True Monarch, he could attempt to join forces with the All Techniques Ghost Infant to forcefully make the Artifact Spirit submit, while trying not to diminish the Spiritual Treasure’s power.

However, refining a Spiritual Treasure is not an overnight task. For now, he still needed to wear Mu Wanlong’s mask to fully utilize the Burning-tailed Zither’s capabilities.

Boom!

Above the Nine Heavens, thunder rolled with the weight of ten thousand jun.

A bolt of purple lightning struck down fiercely, carrying the majesty of annihilating all living beings!

Zheng!

A note from the zither soared into the air, accompanied by the clear cry of a phoenix.

A Burning-tailed Phoenix flew out from the Fourth Rank Cave Mansion, its feathers stunningly splendid. It spread its wings, welcoming the heavenly thunder.

"Screeech!!!"

The Burning-tailed Phoenix opened its beak, and incredibly, swallowed the bolt of lightning whole.

"Family Head..."

Lying on the ground beside the Cave Mansion, Mu Qingshi opened his eyes, murmuring to himself, "I seem to hear the sound of our family’s Spiritual Treasure zither..."

Mu Wanzhang opened his eyes, "This old man saw it too..."

His face showed extreme complexity as he watched the figure of ’Mu Wanlong’ burst out from the Fourth Rank Cave Mansion, with the family’s inherited Spiritual Treasure—the Burning-tailed Zither—floating in front of him!

’Supreme Elder... you’ve truly deceived us all.’

Mu Wanzhang bitter-smiled in his heart, even feeling a shiver of awe.

According to the previous Supreme Elder, the Spiritual Treasure, Burning-tailed Zither, was taken by an unknown Body Cultivator, so how could it appear here?

Could it be... everything was false?

Was the Supreme Elder conspiring with that unfamiliar Quasi Fourth Rank Body Cultivator in the blessed land, eliminating Mu Qinglan, seizing the opportunity for Nascent Soul Formation, and the family’s Spiritual Treasure?

But this suspicion was too shadowy, to harm a family’s peerless prodigy, to seize the opportunity...

It was just too vile!

However, Mu Wanzhang was clear, if the Supreme Elder succeeded, then he would be a hero of the Mu Family, and his good name would be extolled through the ages!

As for Mu Qinglan, he would quickly be forgotten as just an unlucky one who perished in a Secret Realm...

’But... the cultivation given by the Supreme Elder before wasn’t fake... why take such drastic actions?’

’Could it just be for the Burning-tailed Zither? Having the family control the zither, versus an individual owning a Spiritual Treasure, after all, isn’t the same... But it still doesn’t make sense...’

’Could it be, there’s a greater chance on Qing Lan’s person? Thus, the Supreme Elder plotted in secret to kill for the treasure?’

Mu Wanzhang’s mind was filled with countless thoughts, his feelings too complex to express.

He did not connect the Nascent Soul Sword Lord in the blessed land with Mu Wanlong, not believing that Mu Wanlong could be that Nascent Soul Sword Lord since the two had appeared at the same place at the same time; one was a Core Formation Real Person, the other a Nascent Soul True Monarch, not the same at all!

Mu Wanlong was now in Nascent Soul Formation, how could he be that Nascent Soul Sword Lord back in the blessed land?

Even if the Sword Lord later impersonated Mu Wanlong, it seemed unlikely, for the Righteous and Demonic factions had long confirmed that the other was already a Nascent Soul Cultivator. How could he only form the Nascent Soul now?

Boom! Boom!

At this moment, the second and third strikes of thunder descended consecutively, easily warded off by Fang Xing with the Burning-tailed Zither.

"Indeed... my Sword Infant may not have passed the vulnerable period yet, but with the All Techniques Ghost Infant, eh! Plus two Spiritual Treasures... If I still can’t pass through the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, then no one can."

Fang Xing, under the guise of Mu Wanlong, stood safely under the heavenly tribulation.

He even took the time to cast ’Green Sun Demon Lamp’, and donned an extra layer of ’Qingyang Shield’ for himself.

And the issue of exposing his identity?

He really didn’t care at all, for after forming the Nascent Soul, he was planning to return to the Sect anyway.

As for people here knowing ’Mu Wanlong’ is actually Fang Xing or even that Quasi Fourth Rank Body Cultivator, what of it?

Underneath this disguise of his, still, lies another disguise!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After round after round of thunder, the dark clouds in the sky finally dissipated unwillingly.

And Fang Xing felt an all-encompassing sense of comfort: "From today onwards, I am truly a Nascent Soul Sword Lord!"

"Fifty years of cultivation, finally reaching the Nascent Soul Stage!"

Fang Xing felt an immense delight in his chest as he sensed the powerful and keen Nascent Soul power within his body, and his Divine Sense rapidly expanding.

Fifty li, eighty li... a hundred li!

"No sooner had I entered the Nascent Soul Stage than both my mana strength and the limit of my Divine Sense surpassed that of my own in the All Techniques Ghost Infant period!"

At that moment, his Divine Sense caught a streak of fleeing light, within which was a Core Formation Demon Cultivator.

Desperate and fleeing crazily, the other party was racing out of Baihua Mountain’s domain.

Witnessing this scene, Fang Xing’s lips curled slightly upward, and then he transformed into a sword light, chasing after.

Sword Escape Technique was already the crown among many escape skills.

Now that he had ascended to the Nascent Soul Stage and the Rotten Iron Sword had also advanced to become his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, what he executed was a Fourth Rank Sword Escape!

Moreover, the "Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Scripture" was already renowned for its sword speed.

At this moment, his sword light was even a notch faster than the escape light of an average Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator.

In no time, he caught up with the dark Demon Light and saw a big-headed Demon Cultivator within.

The sight of Fang Xing’s pursuit terrified the big-headed Demon Cultivator, who, in a desperate move, took out two white skull heads from his storage bag.

Red light flared from the eye sockets of the white skulls, which promptly bit off two of his fingers and chewed them rapidly.

Then, they landed at the feet of the big-headed cultivator, acting like a pair of white bone wind and fire wheels, causing his escape speed to surge!

"Heh, leave it behind!"

With a wave of Fang Xing’s large sleeve, a blade of sword light emerged.

After condensing the Sword Infant, his Lifebound Spirit Sword had merged with the Nascent Soul; what he wielded now was still Sword Light, Sword Shadow.

But the power was exceedingly formidable.

With a single sweep of his sleeve, the sky filled with stardust; a white-golden Sword Shadow flashed past, piercing through the Demon Cultivator’s dantian.

The man screamed miserably and was captured by a large mana hand of Fang Xing, who then hurriedly cried out, "Senior, spare my life, I’m just passing by..."

"Heh... who would believe such an excuse?"

Fang Xing chuckled and, without resorting to harsh interrogation, promptly proceeded with a Soul Search.

Moments later, he tossed the big-headed Demon Cultivator’s corpse aside and flicked a Soul-devouring Demon Fire onto it, which reduced the body to ashes in an instant.

"The reach of the Demon Path is quite long, not in a rush to cultivate Demon Golden Cores but instead planting spies within the Righteous Path..."

This time, had it not been for his Nascent Soul Formation, it might have been possible for White Crane Sect to truly break through the Mu Family’s grand formation, and then to be crushed one by one by him...

Well, the outcome seems about the same.

Even for White Crane Sect, now that only a Core Formation True Person has died, it seems like a gain...

With a flick of his sleeve, Fang Xing’s sword light turned, and he returned to his Cave Mansion on Baihua Mountain.

"Congratulations to the Supreme Elder on the Nascent Soul Formation, henceforth enjoying a long and extended life!"

Mu Wanzhang and Mu Qingshi rushed to meet him, their faces flushed with excitement.

They originally thought that after the Mu Family sealed the mountain, they would inevitably face a slow decline.

But they hadn’t expected that the Supreme Elder had been enduring patiently all this while, taking possession of the Fourth Rank Spirit Vein Cave Mansion, all to condense his Nascent Soul!

Although they felt somewhat critical that the Supreme Elder had deceived even his own people, now that he was a Nascent Soul True Monarch, whatever he said was correct!

"This seat shall enter seclusion to consolidate my cultivation for some time, do not disturb me."

Fang Xing said with a cold face, and directly returned inside the Cave Mansion, closing the mansion’s grand gate.

As for the two Fake Core cultivators, naturally, they wouldn’t dare intrude even if they had ten times the courage.

"It’s time, pack up, let’s go!"

Fang Xing was ready to dust off and leave, otherwise, it might be somewhat awkward when Nascent Soul True Monarchs from both Righteous and Demonic paths arrived.

He first went to the Alchemy Room to collect the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron, then to the animal pen.

The Treasure-seeking Mouse was still at a Third Rank Mid-grade standard, after all, not everyone could cultivate with the astonishing speed that he did.

Seeing Fang Xing at the Nascent Soul Stage, the Treasure-seeking Mouse immediately rose on its hind legs, its paws joined together as if bowing in salute.

"Heh... good work, here’s your reward!"

Fang Xing casually took out a bottle of Third Rank Elixirs and tossed it over.

The Treasure-seeking Mouse was overjoyed, swallowing all the Dan Pills in one gulp.

After advancing to Third Rank Mid-grade, it had awakened an Innate Divine Ability, which Fang Xing named ’Ruminating.’ It had created a small space in its stomach, allowing it to store many things.

As a result, the Treasure-seeking Mouse didn’t need to develop any grand Sleeve Universe Divine Power on the Righteous Path. Instead, it preferred to swallow a large pile of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, then leisurely spit them out to linger over each one.

"Sigh... behaving like a starved ghost, no morals!"

Fang Xing was rather speechless about the Treasure-seeking Mouse’s new talent but still formed a spell with a pinch of his fingers, putting the mouse back into the Spirit Beast Bag.

After tidying up the Cave Mansion, he used an Earth Escape Skill and went down to the basement, where he saw the Five Mixed Demons and, guarded by them, the unconscious Mu Wanlong.
