Chapter 71
Translator: NovelMultiverse Editor: NovelMultiverse
Cultivator Gui Xiao hadn’t thought that Mo Rushi would come so quickly .
From their distance from the Yu Qing Sect, Mo Rushi must have noticed the opening of the Nine Storied Pagoda and moved immediately, or else, he never could have made it so quickly .
Gui Xiao had thought that, even if Mo Rushi had received news of what had happened, he would delay some, purely out of confidence in the Nine Storied Pagoda’s defensive properties . After all, a Yuan Yin Grandmaster was extremely important for a third-class sect such as Yu Qing . He would obviously have to consider whether or not it was a foil to lead him away from Yu Qing .
But, how could Gui Xiao know that there was someone in the captured group who was more important to Mo Rushi than the whole of Yu Qing?
Moreover, there was Grandmaster Xuan Yin protecting Yu Qing . Although it was just an essence of his soul, just his opening of the Yu Qing’s Mountain Seal would be far more effective than a multitude of Yuan Yin Grandmasters watching over Yu Qing .
Just as Jin Dasheng finished speaking, there was the nearing sound of thunder and wind, like a roll of thunderstorm rolling over the summer sun . With a boom, a sliver of light broke through the sky . In the blink of an eye, Mo Rushi’s figure appeared in the air over the mountainside .
“Gui Xiao, how bold of you!” Mo Rushi shouted . Before waiting for an answer, he pointed two fingers down . With this point, the air shook . There appeared a light out of nowhere, cutting through the air surrounding the Yu Qing members and Gui Xiao .
“Old Mo, I didn’t expect you to come so quickly . However, I didn’t come without preparation . ” Gui Xiao laughed shrillingly . A black bamboo grew out from where he was standing, forming nine leaves, each shining with starlight . The leaves rippled and swallowed the light next to him .
Seeing the black bamboo, Mo Rushi wrinkled his brow, saying: “I never imagined that Wu Zhu’s Nine Starred Black Bamboo would fall into your hands!”
This Nine Starred Black Bamboo was once the most prized treasure of the Wu Zhu Sect; like the Quaking Seal and Nine Storied Pagoda were to Yu Qing . However, a couple of hundred years ago, Wu Zhu had accidentally lost the Nine Starred Black Bamboo . From then, not one had ever seen it again . Because of this loss, Wu Zhu had been affected considerably, their power greatly decreasing . Moreover, their Sky Holding Thousand Bamboo Seal had lost its core .
Losing this treasure was one of the reasons why Wu Zhu could only be sidekick after partnering with Jin Guang .
But who could have guessed that the Nine Starred Black Bamboo Wu Zhu had been looking for hundreds of years would turn up in Gui Xiao’s hands? If Wu Zhu knew of this, they probably would utilize all their forces to capture him .

Mo Rushi grasped at the air before Yu Qing, and a bronze Seal appeared in his palm . It was the Quaking Seal he had entrusted Jin Dasheng with .
Seeing this, Gui Xiao was shocked, his expression revealing some regret . He hadn’t known that the Quaking Seal would be in Jin Dasheng’s hands . Otherwise, even under the threat of Wu Zhu’s knowledge, he would have brought out the Nine Starred Black Bamboo .
If he had known this, and taken out his Nine Starred Black Bamboo earlier, pushing a full-fledged attack on the Nine Storied Pagoda, would both the Nine Storied Pagoda and Quaking Seal be his by now? Thinking of this, Gui Xiao felt his heartache, filling his innards with regret .
Mo Rushi retrieved the Quaking Seal and cast a spell, ushering the magical treasure out . The Bronze Seal floated into the air, turning into the size of a small mountain and crashing towards Gui Xiao . This was how arrogant the Quaking Seal was . Who cared if you were a man or a ghost? I’ll smash you first . Let’s see how you talk after all of your bones are broken .
Many years ago, when Gui Xiao had been wanted by the Righteous Sects, he had also been crushed by Mo Rushi’s Seal . Not only had his Black Water and Demonic Cultivation been scattered, but he himself had also almost been smashed into a patty .

However, things were different now . Gui Xiao cast a spell himself . Immediately, the Nine Starred Black Bamboo grew like a Sky Pillar, blocking the Seal . At that moment, the Nine Starred Black Bamboo was bent by the force of the Seal but quickly regained its rigidity .
“Haha, Old Mo . You use this trick again . I’d like to see what you do with me this time!” Gui Xiao had initially been startled into a flinch . However, seeing that he was able to block the Seal, began to grow arrogant and cackle once again .
Mo Rushi coldly chuckled, changing his spell and minimizing the Seal . From its surface, symbols arose, seeming to form a grandiose image of Mountains and Rivers, and suddenly falling to the ground . Without any blockage, it dropped to where Gui Xiao was standing, with even the Nine Starred Black Bamboo being able to block it .
Suddenly, Gui Xiao felt his eyes blur . Opening them, he found that he was no longer in the same valley he was once . If one had closely examined the symbols on the Seal, they would recognize them as the same image of the valley where Gui Xiao now stood .
Gui Xiao was not moved to anxiety . Mumbling an incantation, he tapped his shriveled hand on the Nine Starred Black Bamboo . The Nine Starred Black Bamboo began to move its leaves, releasing thousands of Sword Flashes around it .

Every Sword Flash sliced open a rip in the air . Through the tears, he could see the original landscape from before . However, every tear would reverse in an instant . This was a battle of two magical treasures, as well as a battle between two Yuan Yin Grandmasters .
At the same time, Gui Xiao’s distractedness allowed the Yu Qing members under the Nine Storied Pagoda to be safer than they had been . However, they were still unable to escape .
A second without escape was a second of restlessness . Moreover, the cries of the thousands of ghosts surrounding them were unstilled; the black water’s power not being diminished . Jin Dasheng was still struggling to keep them undercover, and the Yu Qing students were almost thrown into a craze by the shrieks of the wrathful ghosts .
Ye Zan had once had faith in technology . However, after meeting Gui Xiao, he had lost some of that confidence . But, at this time, and in this situation, Ye Zan had no choice but to trust technology once again .
But how could he use this technology? Ye Zan thought back of the microwaves he had used against the ghosts . The ghosts surrounding them now were more powerful than the previous ones, but they were still ghosts nonetheless . The microwaves should work .
However, considering the number of ghosts around them, a small microwave wouldn’t be able to do much . Ye Zan decided to try something new, immediately ordering his smart computers to build a more powerful microwave .
In no time, the pieces to the microwave had been brought out from the door behind Ye Zan’s palm . Ye Zan ignored the curious stares of the surrounding students and began building .
