Enormous Fortune

An angry roar rang out, and a White Cold Qi swept out, causing the flames to slowly dissipate.

Before the flames had even subsided, another Giant Fireball hurtled towards them, followed by a third.

Explosions continued as Giant Fireball, each five zhang in diameter, slammed into the White Giant Lion, turning the surrounding area into a Crimson Sea of Fire. The White Giant Lion, engulfed in flames, let out mournful roars.

Shen Long raised his right hand, and a Cyan Tornado swept out, disappearing into the sea of fire. Wherever it passed, the flames dissipated.

The White Giant Lion exuded a burnt smell, and a large amount of its mane was burned off by the flames. It dared not take the Cyan Tornado head-on and was about to dodge when a sharp screech rang out.

The White Giant Lion's head sank, and before it could react, the Cyan Tornado was already in front of it. The powerful airflow pushed it into the Cyan Tornado, and sharp wind blades struck the White Giant Lion one after another, leaving many small bloody marks on its body, from which blood flowed incessantly.

It let out an angry roar, spewing out a white Cyan Tornado tornado exploded, and a large number of Giant Wind Blade shot out. Some of the Giant Wind Blade struck the White Giant Lion, making its injuries even more severe.

With a whooshing sound, a Golden Light Flowing Spear shot forth, striking the White Giant Lion on the head and pinning it to the ground. The White Giant Lion trembled, then lay motionless on the ground.

Shen Long turned to look at Yu Susu, who was locked in a fierce battle with Bai Bing, neither gaining the upper hand.

Chen Hao swung his double axes and cleaved into the void. Two huge Black Axe Blade shot out and struck a red shield one after another, adding several more cracks to the surface of the red shield.

His feet emitted a bright blue light, and with a swift movement, he appeared in front of Qin Yan.

Just as Qin Yan was about to dodge, a blinding blue light shone from Chen Hao's chest, transforming into Cyan Giant Tiger Shadow Cyan Giant Tiger, which let out a loud roar.

Upon hearing the tiger's roar, Qin Yan immediately felt dizzy.

By the time she came to her senses, Chen Hao had already appeared behind Qin Yan, swinging his double axes at Qin Yan.

Qin Yan's Body-Protecting Spirit Light shattered instantly, and two Black Axe slashed her down, killing her instantly.

On the other side, Bai Bing's body shone brightly with white light, and a White Ice Sculpture sculpture appeared above her head. With a gentle flap of its wings, dozens of White Ice Blade, each about two feet long, shot out and struck Yu Susu's Body-Protecting Spirit Light one after another.

After a muffled thud, Yu Susu's Body-Protecting Spirit Light dimmed.

Bai Bing's face lit up with joy, and he was about to intensify his efforts to kill Yu Susu in one fell swoop when a burst of high temperature came rushing towards him. A Giant Fireball with a diameter of five zhang fell from the sky and smashed towards Bai Bing.

Bai Bing was startled and was about to dodge when a sharp screech rang out. Her reaction slowed down as Giant Fireball slammed into her Body-Protecting Spirit Light, engulfing Bai Bing in flames.

Before the flames had even subsided, a second and a third Giant Fireball Giant Fireball towards Bai Bing, landing one after another with a deafening roar and billowing flames.

A Cyan Tornado swept in and plunged into the sea of fire. With a deafening roar, the Cyan Tornado exploded, sending out numerous Giant Wind Blade. Some of these Giant Wind Blade disappeared into the sea of fire with a muffled thud, as if they had been blocked by something.

A Golden Light Flowing Spear, shot forth, plunging into the sea of fire and passing right through it.

As the flames subsided, Bai Bing collapsed to the ground, a gaping hole in her heart from which blood flowed incessantly. Her face was filled with disbelief.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, please be careful."

Yu Susu's urgent voice rang in Shen Long's ears.

Two Crimson Fire Bird, radiating astonishing heat, swooped down on Shen Long.

Shen Long raised his right hand, and Cyan Wind Wall appeared, blocking his way.

Two Crimson Fire Bird crashed into the high blue wall one after the other, instantly exploding into a Crimson Flame that engulfed Shen Long's figure.

A Blue Light Screen enveloped Shen Long, and he simultaneously summoned a small Cyan Small Umbrella, which he held above his head, lowering a Cyan Light Screen to protect his entire body.

The Azure Cloud Umbrella, a superior defensive Law Artifact, was seized by Shen Long from an enemy.

Even through the two light barriers, Shen Long could still feel an astonishingly high temperature.

Chen Hao suddenly appeared in front of him, Cyan Giant Tiger Shadow appeared above his head.

"The Totem Technique!"

Shen Long frowned. He hadn't heard that Chen Hao had mastered Totem Technique!

The Cyan Giant Tiger opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a stream of Cyan Sound Wave that struck the Cyan Light Screen. The Cyan Light Screen remained unmoved. Chen Hao then swung his double axes and struck the Cyan Light Screen Cyan Light Screen, causing it to dent.

Chen Hao frowned. If it weren't for the wind wall blocking the two Fire Bird Talisman, he would have broken through Shen Long's defense long ago.

He hadn't expected Shen Long to have mastered multiple Law Technique to the Great Perfection, enabling him to cast Law Technique instantly.

More than a dozen thick, Cyan Vine burst from the ground and wrapped around Chen Hao's feet. Shen Long staggered backward, raised his right hand, and a Cyan Tornado swept out, heading straight for Chen Hao.

Chen Hao quickly swung his two Black Axe, and two Black Axe Blade shot out, colliding with the Cyan Tornado. The cyan Cyan Tornado split in two, and a large number of Giant Wind Blade shot out. As soon as they approached Chen Hao within ten feet, the giant tiger phantom spewed out a Cyan Sound Wave, blocking the incoming Giant Wind Blade.

With a twist of his body, he easily snapped the Cyan Vine.

A Giant Fireball, five zhang in diameter, fell from the sky and crashed down on Chen Hao.

The giant tiger phantom unleashed a Cyan Sound Wave to meet the attack.

The Cyan Sound Wave collided with the Giant Fireball, which instantly exploded, engulfing Chen Hao's figure in billowing flames. A gust of wind swept out, dissipating the flames, and another Giant Fireball descended from the sky.

Chen Hao tried to dodge, more than a dozen thick, Cyan Vine burst from the ground and wrapped around his feet, accompanied by a sharp screech.

His head slumped, and his brows furrowed.

The giant tiger phantom once again unleashed a Cyan Sound Wave, heading straight for the Giant Fireball. The Cyan Sound Wave collided with the Giant Fireball, causing it to explode instantly, with billowing flames engulfing Chen Hao's figure.

Before the flames had even subsided, another Giant Fireball hurtled towards them, followed by a third and a fourth.

A deafening explosion rang out, and the area within a hundred feet of Chen Hao was transformed into a Crimson Sea of Fire.

Shen Long raised both hands, releasing Giant Fireball that hurtled towards Chen Hao, while Iron Tail Scorpion used his Divine Sense Attack to interfere with Chen Hao.

Yu Susu unleashed a Cyan-Gleaming Seal, which swelled to the size of a house before hurling it at Chen Hao.

Two Black Axe flew out from the flames, heading towards the Cyan Seal. The two collided, producing a sound like metal clashing.

A Cyan Tornado swept in and disappeared into the sea of fire. The flames dissipated, revealing Chen Hao's figure. Chen Hao was shrouded in a Black Light Screen and was covered in sweat.

The Cyan Tornado struck the black Black Light Screen Black Light Screen, causing it to dent.

Chen Hao donned Black Gauntlet on his right hand and unleashed a punch. A massive Black Fist Shadow flew out and collided with the Cyan Tornado Cyan Tornado, causing it to explode. Numerous Giant Wind Blade shot out in all directions, leaving the ground riddled with craters.

A deafening roar of thunder echoed from high above, and a massive, Five-Colored Thunder Cloud appeared above Chen Hao's head.

Chen Hao inwardly cried out in alarm and was about to dodge when a sharp screech rang out, causing him to frown.

A thunderous roar resounded, and a thick bolt of Five-Colored Lightning struck the Black Light Screen. The Black Light Screen trembled, and its spiritual light dimmed.

Before Chen Hao could react, a second Five-Colored Lightning struck down, and at the same time, a Giant Wind Blade shot out and hit the Black Light Screen.

He tried to defend himself, Iron Tail Scorpion let out a sharp hiss, Chen Hao frowned.

Five-Colored Lightning struck the Black Light Screen Black Light Screen, causing its spiritual light to dim further. At the same time, a Crimson Fire Bird flew in and crashed into the Black Light Screen.

With a deafening roar, the Crimson Fire Bird exploded, transforming into billowing flames that engulfed Chen Hao's figure.

A golden spear shot out and struck the Black Light Screen, shattering Black Light Screen like paper. Chen Hao crossed his arms and blocked it.

The Golden Spear pierced his right arm, but was blocked by his left arm.

The Golden Spear trembled slightly, its tail broke off, and it transformed into thousands of Gold-Eating Ant. These ants coalesced into hundreds of Golden Arrow, which flew straight towards Chen Hao.

With a scream, Chen Hao's eyes were pierced by a Golden Arrow Golden Arrow, which struck his chest with a muffled thud.

He collapsed, blood gushing from his head.

Shen Long breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his face.

He looked at Yu Susu, Yu Susu shivered and quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, everything is yours."

She never expected that Chen Hao and Bai Bing would turn against each other. If it weren't for Shen Long, Yu Susu would be in grave danger.

"Fairy Yu, didn't you know they've mastered Totem Technique? Human Race rarely practice Totem Technique! Even if they wanted to, the methods aren't easy to obtain. Judging from their skillful use of Totem Technique in combat, they must have mastered it for a long time."

Shen Long analyzed.

The Barbarian Race Totem Technique is somewhat similar to the methods of Spirit Controller. They activate totems to attack enemies, much like Life-Bound Spirit Beast. If the main body is killed, the totem is also destroyed.

"I don't know either. I've known them for several years, and all I know is that they are Rogue Cultivator. I've never heard of them mastering Totem Technique. If I had known, I wouldn't have invited them to help. This time, we owe you a lot, Fellow Daoist Shen. They might be spies from the Barbarian Race."

Yu Susu said.

"Barbarian Race spy?"

Shen Long frowned. This was interesting. The Barbarian Race, the Spirit Control Sect, and the Mystic Yang Sect all had spies planted in the Zhao Kingdom. Could it be for the Yu Clan's treasure?

"I always keep my word. As we agreed, I will give you a share of the property."

Shen Long said that he had also considered killing the witness to cover it up, but after thinking it over, he gave up on the idea.

He had no grudge against Yu Susu, and he didn't know what important information Yu Susu possessed. If he had killed Yu Susu last time, this whole thing of breaking the taboo and retrieving the treasure would never have happened.

He collected the valuables from Chen Hao and the other two, threw out several fireballs to burn their bodies, and walked towards the Stone Chamber.

Shen Long released his Divine Sense and carefully examined the Jade Box, but found nothing unusual.

With a flick of his hand, he summoned over 30,000 Gold-Eating Ant that coalesced into a Golden Giant Hand, reaching for the Golden Jade Box.

The Golden Giant Hand grasped the Golden Jade Box and pulled it back in front of Shen Long, without any apparent abnormality.

Shen Long remotely opened the box lid using the Gold-Eating Ant and took out a Golden Storage Bag.

He carefully examined the Storage Bag with his Divine Sense but found nothing unusual.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you're cautious enough. Let me handle this! After all these years, there shouldn't be any ambush."

Yu Susu volunteered.

Shen Long nodded. Yu Susu picked up the Golden Storage Bag, shook it with the opening facing down, and after a golden light swept across, a large pile of things appeared on the ground, two of which emitted a dazzling spiritual light.

A Golden Jade Pendant and a Golden Orb —both items emanated astonishing fluctuations of Spiritual Qi.

"Law Treasure!"

Shen Long's gaze was burning with fervor.

Besides the two Law Treasure, there was also a Top-Grade Dharma Artifact, more than 20,000 Spirit Stone, some Jade Slip, and Monster Beast Material.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I only need some Spirit Stone."

Yu Susu said, looking nervous.

Shen Long is too strong; killing her would be as easy as turning his hand.

"No need for that. These two Law Treasure are mine, the Top-Grade Dharma Artifact and the more than 20,000 Spirit Stone are yours, and everything else is mine. How about that?"

Shen Long said.

Yu Susu nodded quickly, agreed, and took away a Top-Grade Dharma Artifact and more than 20,000 Spirit Stone.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer. Take care of yourself."

Yu Susu quickly walked out.

Shen Long gathered up the items on the ground, along with the Spirit Beast Spirit Insect, and left.

Two months later, Shen Long returned to Mysterious Yin Marketplace. To be on the safe side, he changed his appearance and went to the Listen-to-Rain Pavilion, where he requested a private room.

Shen Long took out a blue Communication Disk, cast a spell, and Chen Li's voice rang out. "Uncle-Master Yu, is there anything you need?"

"Has anything unusual happened recently in the cultivation Immortal Realm or Marketplace of the Zhao Kingdom? For example, has a sudden influx of unfamiliar cultivators?"

Shen Long asked.

"There's nothing unusual in the Marketplace, but the Hundred Ghosts Sect has captured several Barbarian Race spies and issued a notice widely, urging all major powers to be wary of outside cultivators to prevent Barbarian Race spies from infiltrating."

Chen Li said.

"Barbarian Race spies! Do you know their purpose?"

Shen Long frowned and asked.

"I don't know. The Hundred Ghosts Sect only said that Barbarian Race spies had infiltrated the Zhao Kingdom, but they didn't say what the Barbarian Race spies' purpose was."

Chen Li said.

"Understood. Let me know immediately if there are any updates."

Shen Long instructed that he disconnect from the main communication system and instead contact Liu Shi.

Not long after, Liu Yuruo's voice came from the Communication Disk: "Senior Yu, I've finally managed to get in touch with you."

"What happened? Has Liu Shi returned?"

Shen Long asked.

"Grandfather has returned, but he was poisoned and has died. Before he died, he told me a very important piece of information and asked me to pass it on to you, senior."

Liu Yuruo's voice was filled with sorrow.

"What intelligence?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"The Xu family, relatives of the Liu Clan Lineage, the number one cultivation Xu Family in the Zhao Kingdom, discovered something in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. They have Foundation Establishment Cultivator in charge and have set up Formation. When my grandfather was gathering information, he was discovered by the enemy, poisoned with a strange poison, and escaped using an earth escape talisman. He returned to the Marketplace, but died not long after."

Liu Yuruo spoke slowly.

"The Xu Family! Set up Formation in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range!"

Shen Long frowned, a thoughtful expression on his face. The Azure Cloud Mountain Range were located at the border between the Qin Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom, and covered a considerable area.

The first two pages mistakenly listed the Zhao Kingdom as the Qin Kingdom. Thank you to the reader for pointing this out; it has been corrected.
