Departure

The cauldron he had refined for many years was sliced open with a single sword strike. The powerful figure let out a muffled groan, his mind going completely blank for a moment.

The so-called Dao Proving Artifact has Dao Pattern are almost entirely cultivated by the cultivator himself, making it practically one with the cultivator. Dao Proving Artifact is destroyed, the cultivator will also be greatly affected.

"If you want to fight me with your weapon, you'd better take a look at what kind of thing your weapon is!" Zhou Tong glanced back and sneered.

"His sword..." Someone with sharp eyes noticed the sword in Zhou Tong's hand, which was forged from Dragon Pattern Black Gold patterns.

This sacred artifact, reserved for the Great Emperor, is impossible to ignore, even if one wants to. It is imprinted with dragon patterns, shimmers with dark light, and is as clear as black jade, making it extremely extraordinary.

"Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword! This... could this also be a treasure they obtained from the Bronze Immortal Palace?" A powerful figure's breathing quickened.

Not only is Ye Fan's Myriad Mother Qi Cauldron here, but there is also a Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword!

No, it's definitely not just Immortal Material; there might also be Immortal Divine Medicine. Nangong Zheng mentioned before that there were traces of elixirs of Immortal Divine Medicine being cultivated inside the Bronze Immortal Palace. Perhaps those two even possess Immortal Divine Medicine.

Ye Fan was also surprised, as this was the first time he had seen Zhou Tong use a weapon.

"The Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword... Zhou Tong truly has a great fortune to obtain such Immortal Material... Ah, that's right, he cut this sword from the Nine Aperture Stone Man." Ye Fan was very surprised. "He's using this Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword as his Dao Proving Artifact? To break through all laws with a single sword?"

At this moment, the appearance of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword excited everyone even more. They could all see that the sword's true size was about four feet, and such a sword must have used a considerable amount of Immortal Material!

Even with the Immortal Material stored in his own holy land, he could gather enough materials to make an imperial sword.

If we can get our hands on this sword, perhaps we can replicate the miracle of the Yaoguang Holy Land?

Many holy sites couldn't help but gasp for breath.

"I will definitely seek justice for what you have done today! I will be back!" Zhou Tong took one last look at the main hall of Jade Pool, left behind a harsh statement, and walked out with his Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword clearing the way.

Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and Xiao Nannan followed Zhou Tong and also left.

"Queen Mother of the West, are you really going to let the successor of the Ruthless Great Emperor go like this?" a powerful being questioned the Queen Mother of the West.

"Nothing is certain yet, and we cannot conclude that Zhou Tong is the successor of the Ruthless Great Emperor!" Jade Pool Queen Mother of the West's voice was calm. "Our Jade Pool has always been neutral and never interferes in the grudges between families. If you want to deal with him, wait until he leaves Jade Pool and then take action yourselves!"

"Leave Jade Pool to fight? Dao Self Purple Mansion Holy Land elders die in vain?" An old man from the Purple Mansion Holy Land asked angrily.

The powerful figure who was directly killed by Zhou Tong was from the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

"What does it matter to our Jade Pool if we are inferior in skill?" The Queen Mother of the West's voice was no longer as gentle as before.

It would have been better not to mention this powerful being, because just mentioning him made the Queen Mother of the West somewhat angry.

The powerful figures of the Zifu disregarded the rules of Jade Pool and forcibly intervened. This was blatantly a slap in the face to the Jade Pool Holy Land! Jade Pool hasn't even pursued the matter yet, and you have the audacity to bring it up?

Being defeated was their own fault.

Hearing the Queen Mother of the West's unfriendly voice and the faint aura of supreme power in the Void the Great, the others immediately became a little intimidated.

"Hmph, if your Jade Pool Holy Land doesn't care about these troublemakers, we at Yaoguang will!" Several powerful elders from Yaoguang spoke righteously and without much thought, they flew off after them.

"Indeed, the successor of the Ruthless Great Emperor must be eliminated, otherwise the world will descend into chaos and everyone will live in fear!"

"These demons must not be allowed to live. We will enjoy the Flat Peach in the Jade Pool after we have eliminated them!"

Several other Mighty Lord also followed them out.

Soon, many other powerful beings followed suit and left Jade Pool together.

Some wanted to seize the treasure, some were swayed by Zhou Tong's final threat, some simply wanted to witness the fall of a peerless genius, and others were there to pave the way for their own geniuses.

Zhou Tong glanced one last time at the Heavenly Palace behind him, and was somewhat surprised. There were indeed many extraordinary people and hermits in this world who were unmoved by the Dragon Pattern Black Gold, and did not even take his last harsh words to heart. They sat in the Heavenly Palace and did not come out at all.

However, the vast majority of powerful beings were tempted, and even the Holy Lord of the Great Sage followed suit and left Jade Pool.

It's not so much that they were tempted, but rather that they wanted to eliminate Zhou Tong, a threat, and then seize the treasure.

"It seems that the Great Sage have reached their limit in their tolerance of such a 'threat' from me!" Zhou Tong sneered.

"Little Tyrant, are you sure you can handle this? I'm getting a chill down my spine! If you're going to run away, just run away. Why did you have to expose the Immortal Material and Divine Sword, and say such threatening things!" Pang Bo looked at the large group of hundreds of powerful figures following behind him, eyeing him menacingly, and his heart began to pound with apprehension.

"I didn't ask you to come along. Besides, how can a man say no?" Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at Pang Bo and retorted.

"Ye Zi asked me to bring Xiao Nannan along! Who knew you'd pull this stunt?" Pang Bo was speechless.

He initially thought it was just a matter of running away, but he didn't expect Zhou Tong to create such a huge commotion.

"Zhou Tong, do you have any backup plans?" Ye Fan also came to his senses. Zhou Tong must be planning something, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly revealed the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword and even made some harsh words to provoke these cultivators.

"Don't worry about that, just come with me!" Zhou Tong also transmitted his voice to them, "Ye Fan, haven't you been lacking the scriptures and various secret techniques for your next cultivation? Come with me, and maybe we can make up for everything you're missing."

"Scriptures? You... you don't mean you're planning to rob these people, do you?" Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but be shocked by Zhou Tong's audacity.

Faced with such a powerful situation, he not only did not flee, but also thought of fighting back.

He might even have been planning to kill these people from the very beginning!

Ye Fan was shocked. He recalled Zhou Tong's series of actions after Nangong Zheng appeared. The purpose was the same: to provoke the Saint Lord Great Power of the Great Sage. One shocking piece of news after another, followed by a treasure like the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword, and then harsh words, directly provoked these Holy Lord to the point of losing their minds and making foolish moves!

What's even more ruthless is that after exposing everything, he simply uttered a harsh statement, turned around, and left, giving these people absolutely no time to think. If these people had some time to consider, many would naturally hesitate and ponder Zhou Tong's motives, but there was no time for such contemplation!

Everything happened so suddenly; no one expected so much astonishing news to break out all at once.

This was definitely something Zhou Tong had planned long ago—to wipe out everyone who was hostile to him in one fell swoop!

Didn't he ever consider that those powerful families might come after him with Imperial Weapon? Wasn't he afraid?

Ye Fan looked at Zhou Tong's back and was increasingly shocked, as if he was seeing an unusual side of Zhou Tong for the first time.

He had witnessed Zhou Tong's battles before, whether it was his fight against Ji Haoyue or his victory against Hua Yunfei, Yaoguang Saintess, and Ji Haoyue in the Tai Xuan Sect. Even Ye Fan knew that Zhou Tong was very measured in his attacks.

Therefore, Ye Fan had always thought that Zhou Tong was a bold but very sensible person.

However, what happened today was truly beyond Ye Fan's expectations. This wasn't just being bold; it was outrageously audacious.

Zhou Tong and his group walked quickly. Jade Pool did not want to get involved in this matter, and the Queen Mother of the West also instructed Jade Pool's disciples not to obstruct them, thus clearing a path for them to leave.

A moment later, Zhou Tong arrived outside Jade Pool.

"Hmph, Zhou Tong, don't even think about resisting. So what if your combat strength is comparable to a great power? The whole world wants you dead. Do you think you can escape?"

"Zhou Tong, you killed my Yaoguang disciple, today you will pay with your life!"

"Zhou Tong, Ye Fan, you two can't escape now. You'd better hand over the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword and the Profound Yellow Mother Qi Tripod obediently, and I'll give you both a quick death!"

Once they left Jade Pool and the Intimidation of the Empress West Pagoda was gone, these powerful figures seemed to have changed completely. A chilling Killing Intent spread through the area, and hundreds of them approached with ferocious expressions.

The terrifying killing intent was earth-shattering; it was the combined Killing Intent of hundreds of powerful beings, enough to terrify even the gods.

Zhou Tong glanced at the group and sneered, "Hmph, a bunch of trash. If you can keep up and aren't afraid of death, then come on! If I don't die today, I will make sure that Great Sage never find peace again!!"

Damn it, you're still provoking them.

Ye Fan cursed inwardly, "Are we really going to go all out?"

As he spoke, Zhou Tong had already thrown out a huge Mysterious Jade Platform.

"Ignorant brat, do you think that possessing the Mysterious Jade Platform guarantees you can traverse the Void the Great without fail? Before my Ji Family, you are nothing but a joke!" An old man sneered repeatedly, his face full of contempt.

He was a powerful figure in the Ji Family, most skilled in the Path of Void. He had already secretly used methods to freeze the Void the Great.

But the next moment, his face was swollen from being slapped.

"Om-long!"

Zhou Tong casually channeled a stream of divine power, and instantly a Domain Gate appeared. Zhou Tong, Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and Xiao Nannan vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

"This is a remnant pattern left behind by Ancient Great Emperor!" a powerful weapon refiner exclaimed.

"This child is indeed destined for great Fortune, having even mastered such Array Patterns!"

"We absolutely cannot let him go; he's a menace!"

Everyone was shocked. This Array Patterns meant that it could be used for both offense and defense. If they were to fight a guerrilla war, the Great Sage that were in the open would probably be at a significant disadvantage. They had to take advantage of the fact that they had gathered enough powerful figures today to destroy him directly.

"Don't worry, my replica of the Void Mirror can hold the Domain Gate in place. They won't get far!" A mysterious ancient mirror appeared directly from the body of the Ji Family Great Experts, and the Domain Gate that was about to close opened once again.

Once the Domain Gate opened, countless powerful beings filed in, none wanting to fall behind.

The reason we didn't act immediately before was because of constraints from all sides, but now, if we fall behind even a little, we might lose all our treasures.
