Pingyang Ghost City.
In Jiang Yan's palm,
a tiny hammer bobbed up and down.
Its surface shimmered with five colors, breathtakingly beautiful, like a masterfully crafted work of art. Only a crack across its face marred its perfection, standing out starkly.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The moment the tiny five-colored hammer appeared, it stirred the winds and clouds. Under its five-colored light, the dense Fierce Sha nearby melted away like snow beneath the sun, driven off completely.
"Looks like I'll have to pay a steep price this time."
Jiang Yan muttered under his breath. He patted a pouch at his waist, and an endless stream of essence crystals flew out like a great river, pouring into the tiny five-colored hammer as it absorbed them.

Screee!
In an instant, a great bird appeared behind Jiang Yan. Five
