Thunderlight (Extra-long 5,700-character chapter)

"What happened to Quan Yong?"

On Jade Rooster Mountain, Qu Chengong looked at Gu Tong. Not long ago, they had used the "Clear-Sight Subtlety Mirror".

Gu Tong's expression was grim. He said, "He's dead."

Qu Chengong and Jiang Yan, who was standing to the side, both showed expressions of shock.

They only recently learned that Quan Yong had secretly broken through to the Inner Vision.

Moreover, they have discovered that Quan Yong's breakthrough is inextricably linked to the "Clear-Sight Subtlety Mirror".

Quan Yong must have relied on the properties of this Law Treasure imitated it, successively consuming the two disciples and fellow disciples who practiced the "Upper Pool Fishing Azure Art" to break through to the Inner Vision before them.

However, Quan Yong is, after all, a human, not Law Treasure. Doing this would undoubtedly be cutting off his own future, leaving him with no possibility of further advancement and no chance of reaching the Purple Mansion realm.

However, this wasn't what shocked them the most.

Just moments before, they had used the "Clear-Sight Subtlety Mirror" to discover the secret of Quan Yong's life and death, which was simply unbelievable. Who could have killed Quan Yong so Soundless?

The three of them exchanged glances but remained silent.

After a long silence, Jiang Yan spoke first, asking Gu Tong, "The adults seem to be plotting something, Quan Yong is also plotting this. Only we are kept in the dark. Did you see it?" Gu Tong nodded. He was the most familiar with Quan Yong and knew many of Quan Yong's unusual behavior. After obtaining the Clear-Sight Subtlety Mirror, he naturally would not fail to investigate.

He remained silent, yet a voice resonated in the hearts of the two sect leaders.

The Four Aspects of Slaying Bandits.

After a long silence, Gu Tong suddenly said, "Quan Yong is dead."

Qu Chengong and Jiang Yan both looked up at him.

Yes, Quan Yong is dead, but what about all those things he plotted?

Who will be able to take over and deliver what he promised to that person?

In other words, who will ultimately receive the protection that should belong to Quan Yong?

Gu Tong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly got up and walked into the inner room.

After a moment, he emerged, his aura waning, clearly indicating that he had suffered some fundamental damage. Qu Chengong and Jiang Yan both looked at him, knowing what he had just done.

Gu Tong made no attempt to hide anything, stating frankly, "What Quan Yong prepared is no longer important; the real key lies in Zongshedu Mountain."

Qu Chengong and Jiang Yan exchanged a glance, feeling utterly astonished. The "Clear-Sight Subtlety Mirror" was merely Divine Ability Treasure, impossible to glimpse the secrets of the Purple Mansion level. Yet Gu Tong had spoken of it so confidently, which meant there was only one possibility.

The adults are watching.

Therefore, when the moon reached its zenith, five disciples of the Outer Scenery level from each of the three sects— Boyue Mountain, Yu Sword Gate, and Hidden Worthies Gate —descended from the mountain.

Almost as soon as Gao Gongjin arrived at the Zongshedu Mountain, those people followed closely behind.

Gao Gongjin, carrying the Law Treasure bow [Inch Silk] on his back, chuckled as he faced these Immortal Mystics who had practically chased after him, "You haven't even fully restored your 'Nature Root,' yet you want to kill me?"

A middle-aged man with a long beard stepped forward, carrying a long sword and dressed in elaborate attire; he was likely a disciple of the Yu Sword Gate. He coldly said, "Gao Gongjin, surrender. You don't necessarily have to die. Come back to the Yu Sword Gate with me."

Gao Gongjin looked at him, a smile appearing on his face, and said, "Have you not yet asked for my guidance?"

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "The Yu Sword Gate Qu Cong."

"Gao Gongjin, we did not come here to kill. Coming back with us is your best choice."

Another person came out.

Gao Gongjin asked, "And who are you?"

"Boyue Mountain Jiang Gu." Gao Gongjin glanced at them and sneered, "You are all from the Immortal Mystics Sect, direct descendants of the High Sect Direct Lineage, and now you've joined forces to kill me. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Jiang Gu explained, "We didn't come here to kill anyone; we want to take you away."

Qu Cong coldly replied, "I'll only ask you one last question: are you coming back with us or not?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Gongjin knew that this time it was impossible to let the matter rest, so he gently untied the [Inch Silk] from his back.

Although everyone was wary upon seeing this, they did not take it seriously. After all, no matter how powerful the string technique was, it was a weapon for long-range attacks, not for close combat. In particular, there were two sword cultivators among them who had mastered Sword Qi Sword Cultivator, so no one took a step back.

When Gao Gongjin's fingers touched the strings of the [Inch Silk], Qu Cong moved, and the long sword behind him was drawn in response, its Sword Qi surging, about to slash at Gao Gongjin.

At that very moment, the hand that Gao Gongjin was using to draw the string suddenly emitted bursts of Golden Light, and two ancient seal characters vaguely appeared.

"Immovable."

Qu Cong felt his energy suddenly stop, as if something had blocked his energy path, and the Sword Qi strangely stopped in mid -Immovable air.

"Not good!"

Jiang Gu exclaimed in surprise and was about to step forward to help, when in the blink of an eye, a mirror appeared in his hand.

"The Hidden-Inaudible Bone-Illuminating Mirror." It is inaudible to the ear, called "Ni"; it is invisible to the eye, called "Yi." When the Nirvana arises, it illuminates the bones and cleanses the marrow.

Just as the mirror light was about to shine on Gao Gongjin, the words "palm Immovable" suddenly shone brightly again, pushing the mirror light back. Jiang Gu looked down and saw that the surface of the "Hidden-Inaudible Bone-Illuminating Mirror" was now completely gray, like an unpolished bronze mirror.

Gao Gongjin also caught a glimpse of the two seal characters that had suddenly appeared in his palm, and his heart settled slightly.

This is why he insisted on coming to Zongshedu Mountain and setting foot in this Buddhist land.

In the blink of an eye, a chilling long arrow formed from pure Law Power was already nocked onto "Inch Silk".

There was no more hesitation in those narrow eyes.

"You do not wish to kill me, but I will kill you all."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bowstring twanged.

The long arrow, imbued with a chilling aura, instantly pierced through the bound energy channels of the Qu Cong.

Blood splattered, and the Sword Cultivator who had mastered Sword Qi fell backward without even letting out a scream under the illumination of the Immovable Illuminating Light.

Jiang Gu's eyes were bloodshot, but he was unable to move forward because he was Restraint the Immovable Illuminating Light. The disciples of the Changxian Alliance had already retreated far away when they saw the Golden Light appear in Gao Gongjin's palm, let alone come to his rescue.

This scene enraged Jiang Gu: "These illegitimate sons are incapable of accomplishing anything of great importance."

Gao Gongjin stood in the center, holding Longbow, his cold eyes sweeping over the remaining crowd, his gaze filled with venomous intent, fierce as a wolf.

--

In the Unseen, three Daoist stood within, while a striped Fierce Tiger lay trembling on the void.

The True Lord, dressed in Purple Garment, said, "Monk, your Immovable Seal is quite impressive. Be careful not to let Immovable Wisdom King see it."

Mu Suli clasped his hands together and said, "This mudra is something Immovable Wisdom King will not blame me."

The Purple Garment True Lord had no intention of arguing with him.

Instead, Mu Suli was the first to challenge, saying, "This humble monk and the True Lord have agreed on three rules: apart from the people we have each chosen, no one else should appear."

True Lord Changshu said calmly, "I didn't expect the monk to have three eyes."

Mu Suli frowned and asked doubtfully, "This humble monk is dull-witted; please enlighten me, True Lord."

"You saw things that your two eyes couldn't see, but you saw them with your third eye."

Upon hearing this, Mu Suli's expression froze, but he dared not say anything more. He thought to himself, "I've long heard that True Lord Changshu is skilled with words. I shouldn't have argued with him, but I was only trying to prevent him from empowering those Immortal Sect disciples and breaking my Immovable Seal. It's not a loss." True Xiue True Lord, dressed in green, suddenly said, "The Immovable Seal is indeed derived from the 'Forbidden Word Method,' but it's simpler. It is indeed the Great Compassionate Venerable Wisdom King's own method. Right now, Gao Gongjin is in the Buddhist realm, receiving empowerment, and with that bow, even ordinary Outer Scenery who have replenished their 'Nature Root' wouldn't be his match, let alone these immortal Immortal Sect disciples who haven't even achieved the Yang Aspect Intent."

"But it's understandable. After all, they're focused on Southern Return, and wanting to preserve their strength is only natural. It's a pity they're so short-sighted."

Xiue True Lord sighed and asked:

"Changshu, it seems your men haven't arrived yet."

After the "Jade Dawn Purple Qi Talisman" was bestowed, Li Fuchan's figure disappeared from the sight of the three Purple Mansion in the Unseen, clearly due to the intentional shielding by True Lord Changshu.

If the person chosen by True Lord Changshu fails to arrive in time for the duel with the Great Compassionate Venerable Wisdom King, he will lose.

Xiue True Lord was worried about was not whether the two would win or lose; he was only afraid that if True Lord Changshu lost, he would break through the Unseen without any scruples and take Gao Gongjin away.

His role here is simply to act as a referee.

To prevent either of them, especially True Lord Changshu, from cheating.

However, just as he finished speaking, True Lord Changshu said calmly, "He has already arrived."

Upon hearing this, Xiue True Lord was taken aback, then used his Divine Ability to look out into the Unseen.

Above Gao Gongjin and his men, who were engaged in fierce fighting, a heavy, dark Dark Clouds had appeared out of nowhere, rolling and churning, swallowing up all the light of day. Faint flashes of lightning flickered within the cloud, like silver snakes writhing in an inkwell, while muffled thunder rumbled silently.

A young man dressed in a dark black cloak embroidered with silver cloud patterns, holding a three-foot-long Purple-Green Longsword, with wide sleeves hanging down, had somehow already stood Zongshedu Mountain.

Xiue True Lord asked doubtfully, "Is this... 'Contrary Thunder'?"

Of the existing Dao Lineage, apart from those passed down from Ancient Era, only the people of Welcome Ying Isle Overseas have seen what a real "Contrary Thunder" looks like.

That's why he asked that question.

True Lord Changshu, however, did not wish to answer him. Instead, he stretched out his hand and pointed towards the distant the Unseen Zongshedu Mountain, saying calmly, "Let's watch the battle unfold."

Meanwhile, Gao Gongjin Zongshedu Mountain of Mount Du, also noticed the anomaly.

Relying on the Immovable Seal to suppress these Immortal Sect disciples, he looked up at the sky. The rolling Dark Clouds pressed down on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

"What's this?"

No one answered him.

Thunderlight has arrived.

Boom! Dark Thunderlight descended from the Dark Clouds, causing the entire Zongshedu Mountain to tremble slightly. Gao Gongjin's palm, holding the Immovable Seal, shone brightly, instantly illuminating the figure hidden within the dark Thunderlight.

He looked at the man, and when he saw the Purple-Green Longsword he was holding, his pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise, "The one wielding the sword!"

Li Fuchan finally arrived at the battlefield.

A pair of narrow eyes flashed with intense Thunderlight, and behind him, Dark Shadow surged, like a ball of dark flame, burning fiercely.

Such an aura is beyond what Outer Scenery cultivators who have replenished their "Nature Root" can achieve.

"This person is only one step away from Outer Scenery Great Accomplishment. Who is he? Is it Meihai or Shouyang?"

"No, it's Thunder Cultivator, from Welcome Ying Isle? His surname is Liang?"

Disciples of the Immortal Sect sects speculated wildly.

Seeing that Gao Gongjin seemed to know him, Li Fuchan was not surprised. He had met the boy named Gao Changling before and knew that he was a tool of the Great Compassionate Venerable Wisdom King, used to remind Gao Gongjin.

He glanced at the Immovable Seal in Gao Gongjin's palm.

He was very familiar with this Immovable Seal.

In the last Tribulation Divination, Huici wrote the characters "Immovable" on his palm to help him capture the Flying Light. Now that he has attained the position of Wisdom King, and Gao Gongjin is in the Buddhist realm, the power of the Immovable Seal has naturally increased greatly. But who doesn't have a Purple Mansion Lord as a backer?

Glancing out of the corner of his eye at the Purple-Green Longsword in his arms, Li Fuchan's spirits soared, and his eyes shone with brilliance.

This is the state he has always hoped for.

As Chess Piece of the Purple Mansion Lord, before this path comes to an end, he no longer needs to hide or scheme. He can stand upright between heaven and earth, slaying demons and monsters.

This is also the state that "Muffled Crow in Ambush" most desires; his hidden and accumulated power is sufficient, and it is time for the Thunderbolt to fall.

Li Fuchan looked at Gao Gongjin and the other Immortal Sect disciples who were Immovable Seal, and said calmly, "I am acting on Edict to kill Gao here."

Before he could finish speaking, an arrow suddenly shot out.

It was Gao Gongjin, holding Inch Silk, his eyes filled with malice, coldly uttering, "Kill me if you want, why bother with all this talk?"

Upon seeing this, Li Fuchan laughed heartily, his body surging with dark Thunderlight, merging with the raging Dark Shadow behind him, and instantly closing in.

The Wudu Seven Marquis Military Strike Art

"Good timing."

Gao Gongjin's palm shone with Golden Light, and he struck Li Fuchan's head with the Immovable Seal. Li Fuchan's energy flow suddenly stalled, and the next moment, the Purple-Green Longsword in his arms surged with purple light, instantly breaking through the Immovable Seal's Restraint.

Gao Gongjin had anticipated this scene. He did not place all his hopes on the Immovable Seal being able to Subjugation Li Fuchan. He took advantage of the gap when Li Fuchan was restrained by the Immovable Seal.

Three Inch Silk -feathered Feather Arrows were suddenly nocked on the Longbow in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Li Fuchan's gaze sharpened.

He could actually shoot arrows at close range; that's beyond the Archery.

Li Fuchan's gaze fell upon the large, Treasure Light bow, and Illuminating Light shone from between his brows.

The Illuminating Light can illuminate the realm that is not illuminated, and can clarify the principles that are not understood.

"It's this bow."

Before he could react, three Feather Arrows were aimed at his Sea of Qi, Sheng Yang, Great Gate, and flew away with a whoosh.

Seeing this, Li Fuchan chuckled and said, "Greed knows no bounds. It's already good enough if you can hit the target with one arrow, but you actually want to shoot through my Three Palaces?"

Thunderlight, igniting dozens of Dark Shadow, which he then grasped directly at the three menacing feathered Feather Arrows.

The "Wudu Seven Marquis Military Strike Art" is Ancient Arts that Li Fuchan was determined to obtain from Gao Huan. To achieve this, he went to the Northern Lands to hunt and kill Ming Beast to cultivate it, and now he has long since mastered it.

This was the source of his confidence to confront the three long arrows formed from Law Treasure.

Laugh.

The Treasure Light on the Feather Arrows made contact with the dark thunder and fire in Li Fuchan's hand, and suddenly bursts of explosions were emitted, as if snow melted into fire and evaporated instantly.

Within his Sea of Qi, "Embrace-Lock Crouching Cicada" frantically absorbed and refined the Qi of the three Feather Arrows, greatly increasing Li Fuchan's resistance to them.

And so, Gao Gongjin watched helplessly as the three Feather Arrows he had painstakingly crafted from [Inch Silk] were extinguished by Li Fuchan with a single hand.

"How is this possible?!"

Li Fuchan glanced at the scorch marks on her hand, nearly wincing in pain, but said nonchalantly, "Nothing special."

He stretched out a hand, and Thunderlight cascaded down like a waterfall, pressing down on Gao Gongjin's head.

There's no way to avoid it.

Gao Gongjin originally intended to use the power of the [Inch Silk] and his own Archery to kill Li Fuchan in one fell swoop, but he did not expect that Li Fuchan would neutralize it so easily. His attack failed and he was instantly struck by a backlash.

Seeing that Gao Gongjin was about to die, at the critical moment, Mu Suli suddenly clasped his hands together and recited a Buddhist chant. The next moment, Gao Gongjin's hand held the immovable seal, and Buddha light suddenly lit up. In the Buddha's light, a white flower wrapped the immovable seal in the air. When it bloomed again, the immovable seal had turned into a forbidden word, growing out of the gardenia. Li Fuchan's eyes narrowed, and he instantly retreated behind him.

A beam of pure Yang Spell Light grazed his sleeve from the forbidden spell, instantly damaging a corner of his Magic Robe. Without hesitation, Li Fuchan severed that corner of the Magic Robe.

Looking up, he saw that the dark Thunderlight he had left behind when he cast the spell had not dissipated, but instead remained strangely still in mid-air.

"Is this the real forbidden word technique? So powerful."

Upon seeing this, True Lord Changshu slid a purple-blue talisman from his sleeve. It was only the size of a palm when it was first seen, but in the blink of an eye it had grown as large as a sail, spreading the Unseen and covering Mu Suli.

Purple qi surged down like a canopy, while azure light surged like a tide, crashing against Mu Suli's body and engulfing his Dharma Body in the blink of an eye. Only when Mu Suli opened up a three-zhang-tall golden body did he manage to emerge from the azure light and purple purple qi.

Looking at the weakened Mu Suli, True Lord Changshu coldly said, "If you dare to make another move, True Lord will shatter your Dharma Body first. I'd like to see if those guys from Louhai Temple dare to come to South of the Yangtze to cause me trouble."

Mu Suli broke the rules himself.

Xiue True Lord stood quietly to the side, not saying a word, but his gaze pierced through the Unseen and landed on the young man whose body was surrounded by Thunderlight. He felt that something was not right.

Li Fuchan was unaware of what was happening in the Unseen.

But when he saw the Gardenia in Gao Gongjin's palm suddenly wither and the forbidden character shatter instantly, transforming back into the Immovable Seal, he understood what was going on.

At this moment, purple light surged behind him, even overpowering the dark Thunderlight. "A good opportunity."

Gao Gongjin's brows furrowed with Baleful Qi once more. He flipped over to avoid the Thunderlight that had been released from the Restraint of the forbidden spell and crashed down in mid-air, then kicked up the "Inch Silk" that had fallen to the ground earlier, bent down to grab it, and drew the string to its full length.

The bowstring twanged, and three menacing Feather Arrows suddenly materialized, resting on the string. The arrowheads hummed, like the mournful cry of some winged beast before its death.

The true murderous intent of an arrow is never at close range; the right way is to shoot from a high place or from a distance.

He was never Wisdom King, never a master of forbidden arts; what he could truly rely on was the Archery of the Gao Household.

"Our ancestor shot down the Self-Sacrifice Zen with his Golden Bow, and now I too will shoot down a bolt of Thunderbolt to earn some fame for my family."

This time, the "Inch Silk" fully unleashed its power. The little bit of energy that Li Fuchan had gathered was simply not enough to counteract the power of these three arrows, Dark Shadow didn't even have time to reach him.

However, upon seeing this, Li Fuchan did not even try to avoid it.

At this moment, the "Embrace-Lock Crouching Cicada" technique within his Sea of Qi twitched slightly.

At this moment, something was finally completely refined.

The previous arrogance in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a calm that bordered on indifference.

Looking at the three Feather Arrows so close at hand, he suddenly spoke, "Alright, you deserve to die." What right did he have to say that?

Does he have a backup plan?

Gao Gongjin completely baffled.

The Purple-Green Longsword in Li Fuchan's hand was originally intended to counteract the Restraint the Immovable Seal, but no matter what, it was still a sword.

Li Fuchan reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword.

The moment the five fingers closed, a dark bolt of Thunderlight suddenly shone from the sword guard, no longer as muffled as before, but transformed into a clear and melodious thunderclap, soaring upwards through the clouds.

Thunder Escape Sword Art.

Second move.

"Long Thunder Awakens the Cloud Voice."

A sudden burst of Thunderlight illuminated Gao Gongjin's vision.

The Sword Qi, propelled by the "Jade Dawn Purple Qi Talisman," had already faintly touched the level of Sword Essence, and dark Thunderlight descended from the sky like a dragon.

Of the three Feather Arrows, two shattered with a loud crash, turning into countless specks of light. The last remaining arrow, however, pierced through the Thunderlight and embedded itself deep in Li Fuchan's palm, piercing through his hand.

However, his aura did not weaken at all; on the contrary, it became even stronger despite his injuries.

The Thunderlight dissipated, and a head flew up, which he caught firmly in his hand.

The blood is still warm.

Li Fuchan glanced down, her expression calm and unreadable.

At this moment, it seems that Li Fuchan has done what he was supposed to do.

But this time, his Tribulation Divination wasn't just to act as a tool for the Purple Mansion Lord.

He suddenly raised his head and looked up at the dark sky.

His dark gray pupils reflected the rolling Dark Clouds, and his voice was so low it was almost a murmur, "'Muffled Crow in Ambush' has been accumulating power for a long time. This lightning strike won't just end with killing Gao Gongjin."

The "Li Thunder" was hidden beneath the gaze of the Purple Mansion, making it unrecognizable to the other Purple Mansion. "Muffled Crow in Ambush" was thus fully perfected.

The turning point he had been waiting for, the moment of this Tribulation Divination, had finally arrived.

In the Unseen, Xiue True Lord down at the eyes gazing at the sky Zongshedu Mountain, the deep blackness fading, revealing golden eyes and crimson pupils. Suddenly, he chuckled, "Interesting."
