Help Me

Immediately afterwards, another Subterranean Water appeared out of thin air, swept past the three of them, and swept Xue Min away without missing a beat.

Xue Min instantly felt a tightness all over her body, as she was swept away by the Subterranean Water and sped towards the direction of the Nanzhao Royal City.

He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Before Su Yao and Yang Xiu could react, the cage of the Yellow Springs that bound them suddenly loosened. Sixfold Completion Jar were swept away by the Subterranean Water, and the water of the Yellow Springs, having lost its support, quickly dispersed like the receding tide.

Su Yao and Yang Xiu exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguised shock in each other's eyes.

The Subterranean Water came so fast that they didn't even see where they came from or where they were going.

The same thought arose in both of their minds: Subterranean Water... The only one who could so easily resolve Sixfold Completion Jar and suppress the reincarnation of the True Lord is probably the King of the Nanzhao Kingdom himself.

That was indeed a swift and decisive action.

"The difference between True Lord and Purple Mansion... is simply too great," Yang Xiu murmured, his voice still carrying a hint of daze.

Su Yao didn't reply, but instead gazed at the present world below with a complex expression. The brown light barrier closed again, and a very faint aura of Subterranean Water power enveloped it like a thin veil, making the barrier as solid as an iron barrel. He withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice:

"Xue Min has been taken away by the king. Now, it's just you and me here."

Yang Xiu was about to nod when he heard this, but suddenly his expression changed, and he pointed forward:

"Brother Daoist, look!"

Su Yao looked up. On the largest fragment of the cave, the ten-zhang-long rift torn open by Chen Hai had not yet closed, and Yao Qi and spiritual power poured out like a flood. A dozen figures swarmed out of the rift and fled in panic in all directions of the Great Void. At this moment, Chen Hai had been thrown away by the king, and these demons and alien species had lost their suppression and scattered like birds released from their cages.

Su Yao's gaze instantly locked onto one of the emerald green bird-shaped figures.

It was a phoenix, entirely emerald green, with wingspans reaching several meters, its tail feathers trailing like tassels, and its body brimming with spiritual energy—clearly a rare species of the Purple Mansion level. Judging from its aura, it cultivated the Fate Divine Ability of the Jia Wood element, "Jia Reaches the Heavens."

This bird was the very one he had seen through the Prism earlier and had secretly kept an eye on.

The refinement of his fourth talisman required finding a unique species of the Purple Mansion that resonated with his own Dao Path as "material." The Rainbow Clouds Path excels at absorption and remains untouched by worldly things. Although three generations of patriarchs attained enlightenment through rainbows, adding a touch of killing intent, it is ultimately more agile than other Dao Path of killing. It needs to be based on the Divine Ability essence of a unique species to complete the "position" and "substance" of the talisman.

Different types of materials, such as Dui Metal, Jia Wood, and Mystic Body, can all be incorporated into talismans. Since we have encountered them today, Jia Wood seems to be more suitable, as suitable materials from heaven and earth are not common.

Jia Wood represents the uprightness of Wood Virtue and is the position of the Azure Emperor. The "Jia Reaches the Heavens" cultivated by this bird takes the image of "wooden pillars reaching the sky", which is an extremely pure branch of the Jia Wood path.

At this moment, the Prism suddenly trembled violently in Su Yao's Qi Sea, as if urging him on, or perhaps cheering.

Su Yao turned to Yang Xiu almost without hesitation and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Dao, please help me."

Yang Xiu was taken aback, followed his gaze, and immediately understood:

"Brother Dao wants..."

"Yes." Before Yang Xiu could finish speaking, Su Yao interrupted him rapidly, "I'm in dire need of a Purple Mansion rare species. If I miss today, I'll never have another chance like this. You help me hold it off, and I'll capture it."

Yang Xiu took a deep breath upon hearing this and nodded, saying:

"Good."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yao Golden Light Across the Land, his figure shooting out like a golden rainbow as he chased after the emerald green phoenix. Yang Xiu followed closely behind. The two Jade Void Secret Technique to Golden Light Across the Land, their speed several times that of an ordinary Purple Mansion Early Stage cultivator. The phoenix, however, cultivated the Jia Wood element and was not known for its Body Divine Ability, so it was not good at escaping. The distance between them was rapidly closing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yang Xiu was the first to raise the golden bell, and the gray-purple Profound Qi spread out like a thin mist. Within the mist, the Wu Earth Calamity appeared, blocking the phoenix's escape route from the left flank. On the right, Su Yao had already surrounded them, the Zhengji Sword in his hand, its tip glowing with an unpredictable light, like a net catching birds.

The emerald phoenix had already accelerated desperately when the two turned to it, but it was not good at escaping. Seeing the two golden lights getting closer and closer, it was anxious and angry, cursing inwardly: It had been trapped in that ghost cave for more than three thousand years, and finally waited for the cave to collapse and escape, but how could it turn around and run into two evil stars!

Knowing he couldn't escape, he stopped running, spread his wings, turned around abruptly, and shouted sharply:

"You two juniors, do you really think I'm easy to bully!"

The phoenix spoke in human language, its voice clear yet sharp with a hint of exasperation. With a flap of its Lü Yu, its Jia Wood spiritual energy erupted, and streams of verdant wood energy surged forth from its body like vines, growing wildly in the Great Void. In the blink of an eye, it wove a dense, impenetrable net of green wood, which then enveloped Su Yao and Yang Xiu.

Su Yao was not surprised at all; instead, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Good timing."

Without pausing, his Zhengji Sword pointed directly at the large net of green wood. A thin ray of light pierced through the clouds from the tip of the sword and shot into the vine net.

The rosy light did not cut or cleave, but rather coiled and pulled like ropes, rolling up and deflecting the wildly growing wood energy. Like parting the clouds to reveal the sun, it forcefully tore a path through the net of green wood.

Yang Xiu activated the golden bell on the other side, and a surge of gray-purple Profound Qi flowed out like a tide, mixed with a very faint trace of the Wu Earth Calamity, which pressed down on the green wood.

At this moment, the invincible Wu Earth Calamity collided with the Green Wood Net, and was like mud and stones entering a forest, wrapped up and absorbed by layers of vines. It only lasted for a few breaths before dissipating into nothingness.

Seeing this, Yang Xiu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Among the Five Virtues, the Azure Emperor succeeded the Yellow Emperor. Wood is born from earth, and Jia Wood naturally restrains Wu Earth. Moreover, before the Human Sovereign, the South Pole, and the Beiwu ascended to the throne, Wu Earth was originally a high mountain, precisely the object suppressed by Jia Wood. However, at this time, he had only recently become Purple Mansion and could not quickly attract various calamities. He immediately attracted Wu Earth, simply because it was the one he was most familiar with and the fastest.

"Wu Earth?" The phoenix shrieked, its tail feathers bristling, then it sneered, "You're from the Mysterious Gate! Too bad, you've miscalculated to try and intimidate me with Wu Earth!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiu frowned and urged the golden bell again. Lightning flashed within the gray-purple Profound Qi, as he intended to use "Calamity Befalls Fate" to summon the punishment of all thunderbolts.

The next moment, from the depths of the Great Void, several streaks of gray-purple lightning arrived as summoned, carrying the chilling force of calamity, and crashed down upon the head of the phoenix.

But the phoenix merely flapped its wings, and the spiritual energy of the Jia Wood behind it flowed. Although the phantom of the towering tree had not yet taken shape, it already revealed some of the grandeur of the Jianmu.

The next moment, thunderbolts struck, like rain pattering on banana leaves, hitting the thick layer of green wood aura, only splashing up a few scattered gray-purple sparks before falling silent again.
