Snatching Food from a Tiger's Mouth?! (Seeking Follow-ups, Seeking Subscriptions)

"Stop!"

Teng Sha was just preparing to use the power of the formation to break through the Ancestral Symbol's seal.

And refine it.

But the two people who suddenly appeared startled him.

In an instant, yuan power surged wildly from within him and gathered in his palm as he struck out at the two of them.

At the same time, he shouted for them to stop!

"You're merely at Creation Realm Minor Completion, and you dare attack us? You're courting death!"

Liu Fulei snorted coldly.

On his other palm, yuan power blazed brilliantly as he struck down at the members of the Yin Kui Sect below.

He easily shattered Teng Sha's attack.

Boom!

At the same time, in an instant, he wiped out the many experts of the Yin Kui Sect below!

Not even bone fragments were left!

The commotion was huge, drawing the attention of the people at the foot of the mountain.

"What's going on? What is the Yin Kui Sect up to now?"

"Who knows? Maybe their sect master is researching some bizarre thing again."

"Speaking of which, what exactly did Teng Sha obtain from the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet?"

"No idea. With such a huge commotion, it's very likely someone has come knocking to rob them."

"Huh? Then we'd better run. Careful we don't get caught in the crossfire!"

"Right, right..."

In Yin Kui City, many people chose to flee, wisely protecting themselves.

"Devouring Ancestral Symbol, from now on, you're ours!"

Nie Huayou was beside himself with excitement, his eyes burning as he stared at the black ball of light before him.

He was just about to reach out and take it.

Just then.

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"The Ancestral Symbol is mine. You think the likes of you dare lay a finger on it?"

The Ancestral Symbol is yours?

Who the hell are you?

The two of them looked toward the voice at the same time.

They saw a man in white robes standing in the air.

The man was handsome and elegant, with a graceful bearing.

He even seemed somewhat familiar.

As if they had seen him somewhere before.

Nie Huayou stared at the newcomer for half a minute.

Only then did he suddenly remember who he was.

Then he revealed a cold smile and said, "Chen Xuan, shouldn't you be staying obediently in Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace? Did you run out here looking to die?"

Chen Xuan?

He was the person the Grand Elder and the others wanted to kill?

No wonder he seemed a little familiar.

With that reminder, Liu Fulei also suddenly recalled him.

He had not expected to run into Chen Xuan here.

This world was truly small.

How did that saying go?

You search high and low without finding it, only for it to come without effort!

By making a trip to the Yin Kui Sect, they could both kill Chen Xuan and obtain the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Chen Xuan shook his head and corrected him. "I, Chen Xuan, have nothing to do with Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace anymore."

Nie Huayou froze. "So, you've left Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace?"

"Not bad."

"Keh keh keh. Leaving suits us just fine. Let us send you on your way!" A trace of killing intent surged in Nie Huayou's eyes.

They had all withdrawn.

In the future, they would not have to fear Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace coming after the two of them.

They were full of confidence.

"There's a road to heaven, yet you refuse to take it; there's no gate to hell, yet you insist on barging in! Today, let us people from Yuan Sect see you off."

Liu Fulei cracked his knuckles. All he needed was one word from Nie Huayou, and he would make his move.

"With just you?"

Chen Xuan swept his gaze over the two men opposite him.

Inside his body, Yuan Power began to surge.

Nie Huayou said smugly, "You're only at the Four Yuan Nirvana Realm, while both of us are at the Five Yuan Nirvana Realm. You should understand who's stronger and who's weaker, right?"

Before coming here, they had already investigated.

Chen Xuan had only left Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace after breaking through to the Four Yuan Nirvana Realm.

Even if he was extraordinarily talented and had been cultivating nonstop over these past few months, he would at most be at the Five Yuan Nirvana Realm.

How could one Five Yuan Nirvana ever be a match for two Five Yuan Nirvanas?

"Why waste words on him? Just do it!"

Liu Fulei glanced at the Ancestral Symbol, greed gradually eating away at his mind.

However, right then...

All of a sudden, he discovered that the black light cluster in front of him flickered a few times.

Immediately after, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol inside it magically vanished.

This scene stunned Liu Fulei.

He shouted in horror, "Huh? The Devouring... Ancestral Symbol is... gone!"

"??"

Nie Huayou turned his head to look.

Instantly, he was dumbfounded too.

Where was the Ancestral Symbol?

He clearly remembered that the Ancestral Symbol had been right beside them.

How had it vanished in the blink of an eye?

Just now, his attention had been fixed on Chen Xuan the entire time, and he had not noticed the Ancestral Symbol at all.

Liu Fulei had been the one in charge of the Ancestral Symbol.

Could it be...

His gaze shifted to Liu Fulei. "Old Liu, did you steal the Ancestral Symbol?"

"Old Nie, I was about to suspect you!" Liu Fulei instantly bristled.

"Don't fucking talk nonsense. It wasn't me!"

"I'm talking nonsense? Heh. I say, Old Nie, only you're allowed to suspect me, but I'm not allowed to suspect you?"

Liu Fulei sneered.

Nie Huayou was left speechless. "Looks like it was neither you nor me. Someone else must have done it."

"Who could it be?"

"Besides you and me, there's only him!"

Nie Huayou frowned and looked at Chen Xuan.

Only, he could not figure it out.

Chen Xuan had been so far away—how had he taken the Ancestral Symbol?

Liu Fulei also felt it was impossible. "That can't be, right? He's so far from us. How could he have taken the Ancestral Symbol without a sound?"

Nie Huayou shot back, "If it wasn't him, then who was it?"

This...

Liu Fulei froze for a moment, then smiled cruelly. "Who cares whether it was him or not? He's our target anyway. Let's kill him first!"

Nie Huayou nodded in agreement. "That's more like it."

The two of them looked at Chen Xuan with ill intent and slowly closed in on him.

Yuan Power began to surge within their bodies.

It seemed they wanted to see this genius who had once been famous throughout the Eastern Xuan Region.

Fear showed on their faces.

Chen Xuan only sneered. "It's still not certain who'll kill who!"

"Arrogant and ignorant!" Liu Fulei judged.

Chen Xuan wasted no more words.

He reached into the air, and a longsword covered in rust patterns appeared in his hand.

As it turned out, earlier—

While he had been talking to them—

Chen Xuan had used the Talisman Ancestor Collection Guide.

He had directly taken away the Devouring Ancestral Symbol without anyone noticing.

He had originally wanted to let them fight among themselves like dogs.

Unfortunately, the heavens had not granted his wish!

But it didn't matter.

Right now, he was at the Six Yuan Nirvana Realm and was a Four Seal Heavenly Talisman Master!

With the combat boost from World King Fist on top of that...

Forget two Five Yuan Nirvana Realm cultivators—even if two more came, he could handle them with ease!

And at that moment—

Nie Huayou and Liu Fulei looked at the Tetanus Blade in his hand.

With one glance, they recognized that this seemingly unremarkable rusty sword...

Was an extremely rare Pure Yuan Treasure!

One had to know that treasures of this level were, in the Yuan Sect, only available for Yuan Sect elders and outstanding disciples to borrow.

As for deacons like them—

They were not worthy at all.

Thus, when they saw this Pure Yuan Treasure, an uncontrollable greedy light flickered in both their eyes.

Nie Huayou suggested, "Let's seize this blade. Whoever doesn't receive the Ancestral Symbol's acknowledgment gets this Pure Yuan Treasure. Old Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Fulei nodded. "Good idea! Let's do it!"

Nie Huayou excitedly licked his lips. "Kid, hand over the Pure Yuan Treasure, and we can consider leaving your corpse intact!"

"Noise!"
