Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 566 – Competition

River County and River County were two counties under the jurisdiction of the Huzhou. There were still two prefectures between the and the Liangyu Mountain Range, but even the cultivators from far away in the Huzhou had already rushed to the Liangyu Mountain Range. Then, it was obvious that there were even more cultivators from other prefectures who came to the Liangyu Mountain Range.

The formation master from the Yun Family in the Xi Prefecture threw out a Fantasy Spirit Stone as bait and begged Yang Junshan to help them defend against the He Prefecture Four Friends who had come to kill them.

Even though Yang Junshan was fighting to the death with the three Yun Family cultivators, the formation master called Yun Xian knew that Yang Junshan was an expert in formation, so he must have understood how attractive a Fantasy Spirit Stone was to formation masters. Furthermore, the three Yun Family cultivators were heavily injured and one of them was slightly injured, so even with the help of the Formless Formation, it was impossible for them to be a match for the four friends of River County. Thus, Yun Xian had no choice but to take the risk and ask Yang Junshan for help.

“This is a conflict between the four friends of the River County and the Yun family of the Brook County. Fellow was ambushed and killed by the three cultivators of the Yun family. Are you sure you won’t help the Yun family members?”

The River County’s Four Friends seemed to have used some kind of sacred art. Even though the sky was dark and the distance between them was more than ten meters, it was extremely difficult for Yang Junshan to see the faces of the four of them.

On the surface, Yang Junshan did not say anything, but in his heart, he was quite interested. The Fantasy Spirit Stone s were the best materials to lay down the illusion array, and with an array master proficient in magic, it was equivalent to raising his own cultivation by a level. A spirit array’s power was equivalent to catching up treasure array.

Although Yang Junshan wasn’t an expert in illusions, it was a fact that formations could not be separated from the support of illusions to a certain extent. Although the Fantasy Spirit Stone was unable to unleash its full potential in his hands, it was still beneficial for his array attainment.

Furthermore, not only was the Fantasy Spirit Stonreasure in the eyes of array masters, it was also an excellent equipment used to refine spirit materials. Although the quality was only considered to be top grade spirit rank, the spirit artifacts that could be refined with it often had both hallucinogenic and debilitating effects. However, Yang Junshan had an artifact that was extremely suitable for refining Fantasy Spirit Stone and raising its quality in his hands, which was the Mirror of Flame.

When Ouyang Xulin was repairing the mirror, Yang Junshan had asked him how to level up. Ouyang Xulin had said before that the best way to level up was to fuse with a Fantasy Spirit Stone.

“Hehe, it’s not impossible for this Taoist to help. As long as you hand the Fantasy Spirit Stone over to this Taoist, then this Taoist will help you and the rest, so what?”

In the end, the enticement of the Fantasy Spirit Stone still made Yang Junshan unable to suppress his greed. However, when Yang Junshan requested to obtain the Fantasy Spirit Stone first, not only did Yun Xian, who was still hiding within the formation, turn silent, even the River County cultivator who was a distance away also fell silent.

Yang Junshan instinctively felt that something was amiss, and was immediately shocked. Could it be that the River County’s four cultivators were chasing after the Yun Family from the Brook Country, for the sake of the Fantasy Spirit Stone?

“Alright, but we’ll have to wait for you to enter the array before we can bestow it to you.”

If it was in the past, Yang Junshan would definitely hold it in his hands and ask the other party why he had to enter the Formless Formations before giving it to him.

However, just as Yang Junshan was thinking about the Fantasy Spirit Stone, the River County’s four friends had already begun to move. The four Spiritual Masters split into two groups, one of them rushing towards the formless array set up by the Yun Family while the other three actually pouncing towards Yang Junshan.

Yang Junshan was shocked, and immediately retreated. Amongst the three of them, the one leading the group, Lin Chong, was a Profound Constellation Realm cultivator, the remaining two people might only have Astral Transformation Realm, but when the three of them teamed up, Yang Junshan did not dare to be surrounded by them.

“Those who are enemies with you and the Yun Family, why do you all want to make a move against me?” Yang Junshan himself felt that this question was unnecessary.

“Heh, Sire’s ability is astonishing, to be able to force Yun Xian to release three people at once. How can we let sire join hands with the Yun family again? With the three people of the Liu Yun family injured, do you dare to abandon the formation and flee?”

Just as Lin Xin and the other two were chasing after Yang Junshan, a huge battle suddenly broke out outside the formation. In order to prevent Yang Junshan and the Yun Family members from working together, the River County’s Four Friends took the initiative to send out three people to attack first to gain the upper hand. The remaining person was temporarily monitoring them, thinking that the Yun Family’s three members would not dare to abandon the formation and escape.

However, the Yun Family had already expected this. The moment Lin Xin and the other two were attracted by Yang Junshan, Yun Xian and another man rushed out of the formation to protect the Spiritual Master that was severely injured by Yang Junshan. They actually wanted to take the chance and break out.

At this time, how could Yang Junshan not know that he had been tricked by the Yun Family, and purposely used his Fantasy Spirit Stone to incite his greed, causing the three of them to chase after him, creating conditions for them to break out of the encirclement.

At this time, Lin Xin and the rest reacted, as the ones with the highest cultivation, Lin Mu immediately turned around and gave chase, while the remaining two Astral Transformation Realm cultivators stayed behind to monitor Yang Junshan’s movements, and would even intervene if necessary.

As for the Yun Family, after leaving the protection of the Traceless Array, Lin Xin was confident that with his own strength, in addition to his other companion in the Astral Reaching Realm who was fighting with the three of the Yun Family, he could easily spare them.

Yang Junshan coldly snorted, turned and retreated into the depths of the mountain forest. “Shrinking the ground to an inch” under his feet, his figure flashed a few times in the dense forest before disappearing withourace.

Seeing that, the two Astral Transformation Realm cultivators who were monitoring Yang Junshan first followed him for a distance, and knew that Yang Junshan’s figure had disappeared, they then turned around to help their comrades to intercept the Yun Family members. Unexpectedly, after they were stopped, Yun Xian noticed that the situation was not good, and actually brought two more clan members with him to hide within the formation.

“Seventh Brother, I’ve implicated you and Fifth Uncle.” The Yun Family cultivator who was severely injured by Yang Junshan blamed himself. If it wasn’t for him dragging them down with his heavy injuries, Yun Xian and his family’s uncle might not have had the chance to successfully break out of the encirclement.

“Don’t say it like that, where would there berson who would disregard the lives of his brothers from the same race and flee on their own?” Yun Xian was a very fair and clean looking scholar. He seemed to be around 30 years old.

The other person who looked to be the oldest member of the Yun Family, the one who the Yun Xian duo called clan uncle, Daoist Master Yun said: “Old Seven, I heard from Uncle that now is not the time to talk about this. You have to wait for an opportunity to break out of the siege with Xiao Jiu and I, and for the three of us who travelled tens of thousands of miles from Huzhou, we cannot all die here.

Yun Xian extended his hand to interrupt his uncle, but his expression suddenly revealed a look of disbelief, the other two felt that Yun Xian’s expression was amiss, they followed his gaze and all of them revealed a look of shock, but they saw a person calmly walking over, the formation did not seem to have any effect on him at all.

Seeing the three’s panicked expressions, Yang Junshan was prepared to attack him, and laughed: “Fellow Daoists, the Fantasy Spirit Stone that you promised this Taoist has not been fulfilled yet.”

Yun Xian extended his hand to stop the two other cultivators from attacking Yang Junshan. Calming himself down, he asked: “Why are you here?”

Yang Junshan laughed, then said: “This master naturally has his own methods, all you need to know is, if this master truly wants to take your lives, just who amongst the three of you could avoid my attacks?”

What made the three of them even more terrified was that the formation was clearly still active. It was completely under Yun Xian’s control, and Yang Junshan was actually able to appear without him noticing, and even if the three of them were to lose sight of him, if they truly had evil intentions, it was likely that the three of them would have died in his hands just now. One must know that the three of them had only just schemed against Yang Junshan.

Yun Xian did not know how Yang Junshan had tricked the River County’s Four Friends to turn around and return, but there was only one possibility for him to be able to walk through the formless array without him knowing.

Yun Xian bitterly smiled and said, “Sir, you are a master of formations, I should have thought of that long ago.”

Yang Junshan declined to comment, but went: “The River County’s four friends outside are already preparing to forcibly attack the Formless Formation, has fellow Daoist Yun thought about it yet?”

Ignoring the gazes of the two clan members, Yun Xian took a deep breath and with his right hand in his left sleeve, he took out a fist-sized, colorless, transparent crystal. He then bowed down and handed over the crystal with both hands: “The Fantasy Spirit Stone is here, I hope fellow cultivator will lend a hand for my Yun clan.

Yang Junshan’s eyes lit up when he saw the Fantasy Spirit Stone that Yun Xian was controlling, but he did not extend his hand to receive it, instead he asked: “Only one? Before this, I passed a small hill, and an illusion formation was laid there to hide the hill. On the hill, three caves almost emptied the mountain’s belly. Althougiece of Fantasy Spirit Stone is precious, it isn’t enough to make seven Adept Realm Cultivator enemies. ”

Yun Xian’s face was unsettled, the Yun Xiu who was addressed as Xiao Jiu had a face full of indignation, but just as he was about to speak, he was grabbed on the shoulder, and Yun Xian said: “I won’t hide it, the Yun Family has four Fantasy Spirit Stone s, for our Yun Family lives in the hill mine, I have invited the Four Friends of River County to come in, and I am willing to offer one more to you, to help us out, this Fantasy Spirit Stone is a matter of life and death to our Yun Family, I hope that you can help us take the other two away.”

This time, Yang Junshan unrestrainedly put it away. In the hands of two Fantasy Spirit Stone s, one was used to raise the level of the Mirror, and the other was used to replenish the village protection formation of the Xishan Village. Although Yang Junshan’s face did not change, he was still smiling in his heart.

At this moment, the River County’s four friends, who had already made their preparations, finally made their move.
