C766 Yin Que
There were many people in this world who thought they were smart, but it was rare to see someone who could be smart and still be lucky after doing so!
The battle between the Purple Garden's Daofather and this Daoist Jiuge was extremely intense. However, Yang Junshan could tell that although the Purple Garden's Daofather had a high cultivation level, his strength might not be considered top amongst the Daoists.
Furthermore, from the few exchanges he had with the other Taoist Ancestors, Yang Junshan gradually understood that whether or not he could master a Taoist technique was an important divide between the strengths of Taoist cultivators. Whenever he met a cultivator who could master a Taoist technique, Purple Garden's Taoist Patriarch was extremely cautious and even when he met a Flying Sword Sect disciple of the Huaguai Realm like her, he did not even have the courage to attack her, and could only wait for her to break out of the formation before stepping forward.
Yang Junshan even suspected that if it wasn't for the low rank Dao Artifact Purple Cloud Flag in Dao Ancestor Ziyuan's hands, it would be questionable whether he would be able to successfully open the Primordial Forest this time.
Although he did not have a Dao Artifact, he seemed to have mastered a series of sacred arts. Although the power of this sacred art was far from being comparable to the Art of Solidified Life and Death, it was still on par with her.
However, Daoist Jiu Ge's cultivation was still lower than his opponent's. In the beginning, he was still able to fight with Dao Ancestor Ziyuan, but after a while, he was gradually losing out and was slowly losing out. Even so, Daoist Jiu Ge would probably have to pay a painful price if he wanted to thoroughly defeat him.
"Alright, why don't we stop here?" That Daoist Jiuge suddenly suggested loudly.
With a cold snort, he said, "What, you don't want the Soul Division gourd in my hands anymore?"
"Hmph. Although you are a rogue cultivator, your cultivation is still a bit higher than mine. You and I are equally powerful, but if we continue to fight, we will both be at a disadvantage. If this is too much of a loss, why don't we just let you go? At the very least, I still have a second gourd."
Daoist Jiu Ge was still as wise as ever, with the wisdom pearl in his hand.
When Ziyuan heard this, she mocked, "You're quite a schemer!"
"Hehe, you're too kind!"
Yang Junshan's heart couldn't help but fall for this Daofather. He heard that once all the treasures in the middle of the Ancient Path were obtained by cultivators, the entire Ancient Path would begin to close again. Seeing how confident this Daofather was, Yang Junshan wondered what kind of expression he would have when he suddenly discovered that the Ancient Path began to close halfway through.
The two sides eventually exchanged blows. A scene that left one at a loss of whether to laugh or cry occurred, but at least it was a shock. The Ninesongs Daofather hurried towards the next secret plane's intersection, while the other two also headed outside.
Yang Junshan could not help but ask, "This Dao Ancestor Jiuge is truly a weirdo. I wonder who he is from, could he really be an array grandmaster?" I never thought that the Taoist Ancestor would actually possess such an existence. "
"Hmph." Daofather Violetflower let out a cold snort, not replying.
Yang Junshan asked again, "Senior, you said before that we only need to break the space barrier to get out of this ancient path. Then, why do we have to go back the way we came from?"
Daofather Violetflower said coldly, "You can indeed leave through the spatial passageway of the pocket dimension!"
Yang Junshan seemed to understand something as he said, "Senior, do you mean it's because of the Seven Treasures Gourd?"
"That's right, with a Soul Division Gourd in my hand, I won't be able to break out of the sealed space, not even if I have a flying gourd. I can only return along the same path I came from, and I don't even have the means to break out of the sealed space anymore, so it's impossible to get people to leave in advance."
Yang Junshan was greatly disheartened. He knew that Dao Ancestor Zi Yuan was now a target, and most of the cultivators that returned from the same path all obtained the Seven Treasures Gourd. This was because other people might not be sure that the Soul Division Gourd was in the hands of Dao Ancestor Zi Yuan, but when they returned, even if they encountered other cultivators, they would only be facing him alone. At the moment of true danger, who knew how many people were outside the secret path, ready to kill the cultivators that obtained the Seven Treasures Gourd.
The more Yang Junshan thought about it, the paler his complexion became. Although Dao Ancestor Zi Yuan was walking in front, he was well aware of the changes in Yang Junshan's expression, so he said coldly, "Rather than fear, why don't you risk it all? "Don't forget, this Daofather won't let you die so easily either."
Although Yang Junshan knew that Dao Ancestor Zi Yuan was right, a situation where life and death weren't under his control wasn't something Yang Junshan wanted to see.
Yang Junshan was shocked, he heard the Purple Garden's Dao Ancestor say in a deep voice, "I'm afraid you'll have to rely on yourself from now on. Remember, you have to walk out of the secret passage before it is sealed, otherwise the cultivators outside will spread out because of the ambush at seven different entrances. If the secret passage is completely sealed, then all the cultivators outside will gather in the sky of the ancient forest to surround and attack the cultivators that have been expelled from the secret passage."
Yang Junshan's expression changed, "Senior?"
"If you meet an enemy, you can only pray for yourself!"
Just as Daofather Violetflower finished speaking, a sinister laugh could be heard from ahead of him. "Look at who this is. This Daofather is still hovering at the intersection of the second secret passageway, but he has already returned with the gourd. What enviable luck. Could it be that the pretty boy next to you is actually so impressive? He actually went beyond my expectations!"
Yang Junshan felt a wave of cold air rushing from the bottom of his feet to his head.
"Old ghost Yin Que, cut the crap. Since we met each other, you and I will do one round!"
Daofather Violetflower raised the Purple Cloud Banner in her hands, preparing to attack.
The Yin Que ancestor, who hadn't appeared yet, didn't seem to hear what Dao Ancestor Zi Yuan said and continued, "However, it seems like my luck is quite good as well. So what if you, Fellow Zi Yuan, have gotten the gourd, do you still want to walk through my hands and ask if I agree?"0
"With just you?"
He waved the Purple Cloud Flag in his hand, causing purple tornadoes to appear out of nowhere and charge toward the empty area in front of him.
"It's useless. This old man has fought with you for hundreds of years and knows your methods very well. If you want to pass through this old man today, you have to hand over the gourd that you obtained in the middle of the secret path!"
Along with Yin Que's cold roar, a cold wind blew, the center of the secret path was suddenly filled with all kinds of howls like ghosts crying and wolves howling, Yang Junshan suddenly felt pain in his head, raising his head to look, only to see a short and ugly old man suddenly looking at him, smiling sinisterly, Yang Junshan immediately felt as if his soul was about to leave his body.
A purple cloud suddenly streaked across the sky, forming a passageway made of violet clouds. Daofather Ziyuan said anxiously, "Hurry up and run!"
Yang Junshan subconsciously retreated and rushed towards the path.
"Want to run?" Obediently stay here for this old one! "
'Chi la! 'A loud and clear sound came out. It was the sign of the Taoist grandmaster when he was fighting. A grey gust of wind suddenly broke through the Purple Cloud Passage and rushed towards Yang Junshan.
The ability to escape was still too slow. Yang Junshan had never thought that the short purple cloud channel would be this long!
Just as Yang Junshan was about to be captured by the gray tornado, a golden talisman appeared in Yang Junshan's hand, and he slapped it towards his body. A cool breeze suddenly formed under Yang Junshan's feet, and carried Yang Junshan out of the purple cloud.
"Eh, the Wind Chasing Talisman. I heard that the Purple Garden Martial Ancestor had an ambiguous relationship with the Purple Wind Sect back then. Could it be that the Wind Chasing Talisman in your little lover's hands was obtained by that Purple Wind Sect?"
"Bullshit!"
Daoist Yin Que's words seemed to have angered her, and the fight between the two became even more intense. Yang Junshan was scared out of his wits by the aftermath of the battle, and he fled all the way to the fifth intersection, only then was the aftermath of the battle between the two Daoists unable to hurt Yang Junshan.
Just as Yang Junshan let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard Daoist Yin Que yell in exasperation: "Oh, mid-grade Dao Artifact, you treacherous slut, your Purple Cloud Flag is actually a mid-grade Dao Artifact!"
Yang Junshan didn't even hesitate as he passed through the penultimate barrier on his way back. After that, everything became peaceful again.
Yang Junshan felt his back was covered in cold sweat, the scene of him escaping from Yin Que still left a lingering fear in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that Yin Que was careless due to fighting against Purple Garden's Dao Ancestor, and the Wind Chasing Talisman in Yang Junshan's hand that was very likely to originate from his arm, he wouldn't have been able to escape before. Even so, it took him a long time to recover.
However, thinking back to Daoist Yin Que's earlier bellow, he did not expect Dao Ancestor Ziyuan to leave a trump card in his hands. The secret to raising the Purple Cloud Flag's grade to a middle-grade Dao Artifact had not been exposed during his previous fights with Daoist cultivators, and it was expected that Daoist Yin Que might not be able to gain any benefits from Dao Ancestor Ziyuan this time.
Yang Junshan could not help but think back to the second time the alien cultivator descended, the battle in the Buried Heavens Ruins, when the ship was attacked by a giant fist and a boundless sword light one after the other. The giant sail on the ship was chopped down, and after being cut up by the sky net, most of it seemed to have fallen into the hands of the Purple Cloud Dao Ancestor.
