43: Spirit House Crisis 2

"Heh heh... The boy has some tricks up his sleeve." Corpse Sky Nether joined the battle with a strange laugh, his putrid corpse Qi and Blood River's sea of blood forming a pincer attack.

Two against one, Xiao Bing's pressure instantly doubled. But he remained calm, circulating his Nine Thunder Power to the extreme, each strike carrying the force of a thunderclap.

Below, Xiao Yan saw the situation and wanted to provide support, but he was blocked by Blood Spirit Child leading a dozen Earth Sovereigns.

"Emperor Yan, your opponents are us!"

Flames surged in Xiao Yan's eyes: "Courting death!"

Platinum flames transformed into a sky full of fiery rain, instantly incinerating three Earth Sovereigns into ashes. But Blood Spirit Child and the others were fearless, unleashing various forbidden techniques, stubbornly holding him back.

Han Yue saw this and fully unleashed her Tai Ling Sacred Lightning, wanting to lend Xiao Bing a hand. But as soon as she flew into the air, she was blocked by a bloody barrier.

"Little girl, don't be in such a hurry to die." A cold voice sounded.

Han Yue turned her head, only to see a beautiful woman in blood-red robes appear behind her at some unknown time, her aura surprisingly also that of a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Supreme!

"Blood God Clan's Second Elder, Blood Charm." The beautiful woman licked her red lips, "Saintess Bloodline... a great tonic..."

At this critical moment, a blue light descended from the sky, forcing Blood Charm back.

"Bullying the weak, the Blood God Clan is becoming more and more unbearable." Qing Yanjing floated down, holding a Qingfeng longsword.

Blood Charm's expression changed drastically: "Qing Yanjing! How dare you interfere? Aren't you afraid of triggering a great war between ancient clans?"

Qing Yanjing ignored her, turning to Han Yue and saying, "Go help Xiao Bing, I'll handle this here."

Han Yue nodded, transforming into a silver light and rushing towards the high-altitude battlefield.

At this time, Xiao Bing had already fought hundreds of rounds with the two powerful experts. Although he was slightly at a disadvantage, Blood River and Corpse Sky Nether couldn't defeat him. Han Yue's addition instantly greatly reduced his pressure.

"Tai Ling Sacred Lightning · Moon Essence Sky Dance!"

Silver lightning poured down like a waterfall, temporarily suppressing Corpse Sky Nether's corpse Qi. Xiao Bing seized the opportunity, combining his Nine Thunder Power, and heavily slammed a Thunder Emperor Seal onto Blood River's chest.

"Pfft!" Blood River spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura significantly weakened.

"Damn it!" Corpse Sky Nether saw that the situation was bad and suddenly pulled out a black bell, "You forced me to do this!"

"Soul-Shattering Bell?!" Qing Yanjing's expression changed drastically when she saw it from a distance, "Retreat quickly!"

"Ding-a-ling—"

A strange bell sound rang out, and all living beings within a thousand miles simultaneously felt a piercing pain in their Divine Soul. Those with weaker Cultivation directly bled from their seven orifices and fell to the ground, unable to move.

Xiao Bing and Han Yue bore the brunt of it, feeling as if their Sea of Consciousness had been heavily struck, their movements instantly stagnating.

"Die!" Blood River seized the opportunity, his Blood God Claw striking directly at Xiao Bing's Heavenly Spirit Cover!

At the critical moment, a fiery rainbow streaked through the Void Realm, forcefully blocking this fatal blow.

"Flame Brother!" Xiao Bing exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Yan was bathed in fire, his aura several times stronger than before: "I dealt with those small fries, I'm late."

Blood Spirit Child and the others were nowhere to be seen, clearly having met a tragic end.

"Two against two, it's fair now." Xiao Yan grinned, and platinum flames transformed into two fire Dragons, pouncing separately towards Blood River and Corpse Sky Nether.

The situation instantly reversed! Xiao Yan fought Blood River alone, steadily gaining the upper hand; Xiao Bing and Han Yue teamed up against Corpse Sky Nether, their Nine Thunder Power and Holy Thunder cooperating seamlessly, forcing Corpse Sky Nether to retreat step by step.

"Damn it!" Blood River saw that the tide had turned, gritting his teeth and crushing a blood-colored Jade Slip, "Retreat!"

A spatial rift appeared out of thin air, and the remaining forces of the Blood God Clan and Demon Race frantically fled into it. Corpse Sky Nether also wanted to escape, but he was nailed in the Void Realm by Xiao Bing's Thunder Emperor Spear.

"Ah! Junior, my clan will not let you go!" Corpse Sky Nether roared with venomous resentment, finally being torn into pieces by the lightning.

The great battle ended, North Cang Spiritual Institute was in ruins, but its Foundation was finally preserved.

Qing Yanjing stood with her sword sheathed, looking at Xiao Bing with a hint of appreciation: "Not bad, to have such combat power right after a Breakthrough."

Xiao Bing cupped his hands: "Thank you for your assistance, Saintess."

"No need." Qing Yanjing shook her head, "The appointment at Tai Ling Stele Forest in ten days remains unchanged." She added meaningfully, "Bring the Source Ice Heart."

After speaking, she transformed into a blue light and disappeared into the sky.

...Three days later, the Spiritual Institute's reconstruction work proceeded in an orderly manner.

Xiao Bing stood on the newly built watchtower, playing with the ice crystal pendant. After this battle, he had a clear understanding of his current strength—he could fight an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign at full power, but there was still a gap when facing a Saint Grade.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Yan walked over, carrying a jar of wine.

Xiao Bing put away the pendant: "I'm thinking about the plane of origin. Qing Yanjing seems to know more."

Xiao Yan took a gulp of wine: "I've inquired about it. Tai Ling Stele Forest is a Forbidden Ground of the Fu Tu Ancient Clan, said to hide ancient secrets." He lowered his voice, "The old guys of the Fire Spirit Clan mentioned it, it seems to be related to the 'Myriad Ancient Immortal Body'."

"Myriad Ancient Immortal Body?"

"One of the five original Dharma Bodies of the Major Thousand Worlds." Xiao Yan explained, "It is said that Cultivating it to the extreme can contend against the Dominator Realm."

Xiao Bing was deep in thought. It seemed that the trip to Tai Ling Stele Forest might unravel more mysteries.

Just then, Han Yue rushed over: "Something happened! Mo Ling received news that the Blood God Clan is pursuing a group of Ascension cultivators from the Dou Qi Continent!"

"What?" Both their expressions changed simultaneously.

"They are from the Dan Tower." Han Yue handed over a Jade Slip, "Including Elder Yao's old friend, Xuan Kongzi..."

Xiao Yan crushed the Jade Slip in his hand, his eyes burning with rage: "These bastards!"

Xiao Bing pressed his shoulder: "Don't rush, this might be a feint."

Sure enough, Headmaster Grand Cang quickly sent news—Blood God Clan scouts were discovered again outside the Spiritual Institute!

"We'll split up." Xiao Yan made a decisive decision, "I'll go rescue Xuan Kongzi and the others, you stay and guard the Spiritual Institute."

Xiao Bing nodded: "Be careful."

After Xiao Yan tore through space and left, Han Yue asked worriedly: "What do we do next?"

Xiao Bing looked north, his gaze profound: "Wait. The trip to Tai Ling Stele Forest might unravel all the mysteries."
