147: Taking advantage of the situation

The Dark Shadow Sect, a Sixth-Grade Cultivation Country on Zhong Xiu Star, has a mysterious origin.

It was originally just a Fourth-Grade Cultivation Country, but in just a few hundred years, it leaped to become a Sixth-Grade Cultivation Country, which made the surrounding Cultivation Countries extremely wary.

However, the territory governed by the Dark Shadow Sect is not large, only the size of a Fourth-Grade Cultivation Country.

But no Cultivator from the surrounding areas dared to enter the territory of the Dark Shadow Sect.

The reason is that once you enter the territory of the Dark Shadow Sect, you can never leave.

Xu Qi'an and his group disguised themselves, and the leading Black-robed cultivator gave each person a spiritual treasure to conceal their aura and appearance, to prevent revealing their whereabouts.

Xu Qi'an glanced at the spiritual treasure that concealed auras; it was a bead emitting white light.

As soon as this spiritual bead was used, their figures would be hidden, and only Cultivators with powerful Divine Sense or special spiritual treasures could detect them.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, later we will go directly to the Dark Shadow Sect's main gate to attract attention, and you will go to the Dark Shadow Sect's prison to rescue the hostages."

The leading Black-robed cultivator sent a voice transmission to Xu Qi'an, and then took out a Jade Slip containing a map of the Dark Shadow Sect.

Xu Qi'an nodded slightly, took the Jade Slip, and with a quick sweep of his Divine Sense, he memorized the map of the Dark Shadow Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, remember, you must rescue the hostages. If you encounter irresistible factors, you must contact us."

Xu Qi'an hummed in response, then replied, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I am quite confident in my own strength."

The Black-robed cultivator hummed in agreement.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, everyone arrived within the territory of the Dark Shadow Sect.

Immediately, Xu Qi'an parted ways with the group and headed in one direction.

The territory within the Dark Shadow Sect was filled with sinister energy. As soon as Xu Qi'an entered its territory, he inexplicably felt a sense of being enveloped by a Domain.

He could barely see any Cultivators around, which made him slightly strange.

However, Xu Qi'an did not hesitate. He quickly arrived at a mountain peak.

A Formation stood on this mountain peak, and inside the Formation, there seemed to be several Cultivators patrolling.

However, these Cultivators were only at the Nascent Soul Stage, and Xu Qi'an did not put them in his eyes.

"Are they too confident in this Formation? They only arranged this much defensive power?"

Although this Formation was at the Void Refinement Stage, its level was not high. Xu Qi'an only needed to use a little Divine Ability to break it.

He concealed himself nearby, waiting for instructions from the Black-robed cultivator's side.

After a few breaths, a huge sound suddenly erupted from the Dark Shadow Sect's main gate.

Xu Qi'an immediately opened his eyes, and then immediately struck out a huge handprint, sending it towards the Formation.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!!"

The Cultivators within the Formation immediately shouted in panic.

Then, in the next breath, the Formation was breached.

Xu Qi'an leaped up and flew into the interior of the Formation. With a slight sweep of his Divine Sense, the several Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators guarding the prison exploded, turning into dust.

He then gently waved his hand, and the closed door immediately broke open, allowing him to easily enter.

Inside the door was a gloomy, dark space, where you could barely see your hand in front of your face.

Every step Xu Qi'an took, he could hear the wails of the imprisoned people.

Soon, the Dark Shadow Sect Cultivators inside the prison heard the sound from outside, immediately gathered together, and angrily shouted.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Dark Shadow Sect!"

"Do you not want to live?!"

"Noisy!"

Xu Qi'an snorted coldly, then raised his hand and killed these Cultivators who were only at the Nascent Soul Stage and Deity Transformation Stage.

Every step he took left behind a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Xu Qi'an was unmoved.

However, the surrounding imprisoned Cultivators were all in an uproar.

"Senior, Senior, save me!"

"I am a Cultivator from the Fifth-Grade Cultivation Country of Feixue Country on Zhong Xiu Star, harmed by the Dark Shadow Sect and imprisoned!"

"I am a Cultivator from the Fourth-Grade Cultivation Country of Luoye Sect on Zhong Xiu Star. I was imprisoned by the Dark Shadow Sect just for saying something bad about Dengxian Palace!"

"This Dark Shadow Sect"

"......"

Xu Qi'an glanced around and found that these Cultivators were so thin that only skin and bones remained, and their auras were not even at the Foundation Establishment Stage, having been tormented by the Dark Shadow Sect into who knows what state.

Although they were not the targets of Xu Qi'an's rescue, it did not prevent him from hoping that the more Cultivators who could oppose Dengxian Palace, the better.

He then raised his hand and with a wave, broke open these prison doors that were filled with Restrictions.

All the Cultivators immediately expressed their gratitude to Xu Qi'an with deep appreciation.

"You all leave quickly!"

Xu Qi'an said indifferently.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

......

Xu Qi'an quickly arrived at the deepest part of the prison, which was also Xu Qi'an's destination.

This was a completely sealed prison, and it was impossible to see the situation inside.

Xu Qi'an's Divine Sense entered it, but was immediately bounced back.

"It's a Restriction that isolates Divine Sense!"

Xu Qi'an then used several divine abilities, but they had no effect on this prison.

Xu Qi'an then sent his Divine Sense into the lightning pool in the White Space, and took out a red profound lightning bolt.

"Let's test the power of this red profound lightning first!"

Xu Qi'an then retreated several zhang and threw the red profound lightning in his hand.

In an instant, the red profound lightning exploded, and the red lightning carrying destructive power directly broke through the Restriction, revealing a void.

Xu Qi'an immediately released his Divine Sense and probed inside.

In an instant, his mind shook.

"No, it's empty inside!"

Xu Qi'an immediately felt a sense of foreboding and quickly retreated towards the prison.

"Hahahaha, junior, you have long since entered the range of my spiritual treasure!"

Just as Xu Qi'an was about to fly out of the prison, a sinister laugh came from all directions.

In an instant, the exit was sealed by a Restriction that had been prepared long ago.

Xu Qi'an's eyes immediately narrowed, and he stood steadily in place, watching the Cultivator who was constantly approaching him.

And with a sweep of his Divine Sense, Xu Qi'an actually found that this person's cultivation was at the Early Stage of the Combined Body Stage.

"This is a trap? How did you know we were coming to attack?!"

Xu Qi'an's face was cold, and he said sternly.

A ball of Yin fire rose around the approaching Cultivator, and Xu Qi'an finally saw the person's face.

It was a gaunt-faced old man.

The old man heard Xu Qi'an's words and sneered, "What else could it be? Because there is a traitor among you!"

"Traitor?"

Xu Qi'an narrowed his eyes and asked again.

"Who is the traitor?"

The gaunt old man said in a hoarse voice, "Don't even think about it. Do you think I would tell you?"

"You should just die as a wronged ghost!"

The old man immediately unleashed his aura, and a strange green ghost claw descended towards Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an shook his head and laughed, "Alright, I've played this game with you long enough."

"Since you won't say it yourself, then die!"

As his words fell, several golden lightning balls containing destructive aura appeared in Xu Qi'an's hand.

In the blink of an eye, the golden lightning balls were thrown out.

In just one breath, the golden lightning balls pierced through the green ghost claw.

The gaunt old man was instantly dumbfounded when he saw the golden lightning balls Xu Qi'an threw out.

"You actually have a way to control Golden Spirit Calamity Lightning!"

The gaunt old man fully activated his defensive measures, but the power of the Golden Spirit Calamity Lightning exceeded his imagination.

Rumble!

The entire mountain peak was directly blown apart by the Golden Spirit Calamity Lightning.

Xu Qi'an's figure reappeared, and then he instantly teleported into the place where the Golden Spirit Calamity Lightning exploded.

Then, with a gentle claw, he lifted up an extremely weak Nascent Soul.

"You still want to escape with the Nascent Soul inside your body."

"Do you think you have a chance?"
