Chapter 355: Chapter 315: Taking Action
Due to Wu Yan leading the law enforcement team, the two groups of quarreling cultivators ceased their disputes, preparing to disperse, but at this critical moment, Tao Zhongxian stood dumbfounded, unable to move his feet.
Seeing his brother struck dumb again, Tao Boliang gritted his teeth and slapped him hard on the back of the head.
"Fool, move!"
He yanked Tao Zhongxian forward into the crowd, and the cultivators from Baose Manor shouted as they pursued.
Just then, the glazed bead at their feet faintly shone and exploded!
With a bang, the power wasn’t immense, but the noise was substantial, immediately attracting the attention of the law enforcement team.
The eight members of Baose Manor, dressed in uniform, chased forward, accompanied by explosions, Wu Yan furrowed her delicate brows, her figure moved, leading her small team to intercept them.
"Stop, who are you?"
The leader from Baose Manor grew anxious at the sight of the Tao brothers about to disappear into the crowd, and immediately activated the communication talisman in his hand.
Then, noticing that in front of him only two members were at late-stage Qi cultivation and the others were at mid-stage, he steeled his heart and charged forward.
"Apologies, fellow cultivators from the Yunshan Sect, we are pursuing fugitives, and we will offer apologies after capturing them."
Unexpectedly, in an instant, these cultivators felt their bodies heavy, their limbs tightening! Several mid-stage Qi cultivators cried out, falling awkwardly to the ground, becoming rolling gourds.
The leader looked down in astonishment to find his chest, waist, abdomen, and limbs tightly bound by clear, transparent water chains.
Their forward momentum was abruptly halted; if not for his higher cultivation, he might have been pulled to the ground.
Who cast the magic technique? When was it cast? How was it undetected?!
He shouted angrily, his magical artifact glowed briefly, ready to activate.
But Wu Yan commanded sternly, "Don’t move!"
In an instant, those clear water chains pulled down sharply, while various magical artifacts held by the Yunshan Sect’s law enforcement disciples were already positioned at their throats and brows.
Even though they were caught off guard, in this confrontation, Baose Manor’s eight members were utterly defeated!
The leader was shocked; could this seamless secret technique be deployed by the young woman in front of him?
Perceiving her cultivation, no more than initial entry into late-stage Qi cultivation!
But he didn’t know that Wu Yan had always concealed her true cultivation according to Lu Qian’s instructions, using the secret technique of the Void Spiritual Root.
Now, four and a half years have passed, with the marvelous Supreme Primordial Spirit Sea-Suppressing Profound Skill, abundant third-level spirit veins, unlimited supply of top-grade spirit pills, and Lu Qian’s selfless guidance, Wu Yan reached the tenth level of Qi cultivation!
Moreover, she is only a step away from Qi cultivation perfection, soon to progress to perfection.
With the inherent fortune of Celestial Spiritual Root, once she achieves Qi cultivation perfection, the opportunity for foundation establishment will immediately arise.
In other words, Wu Yan’s foundation establishment is not far off.
At this crucial moment, a burst of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Pressure flashed, and a Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar suddenly descended before the eight people, observing his disciples’ sorry state, snorted coldly, and waved his hand.
Golden light flickered abruptly, instantly knocking away the magical artifacts threatening his disciples’ vital spots, and breaking the transparent water locks binding them.
Wu Yan gritted her teeth and withdrew her spiritual power, and those golden lights flashed in the air, returning to the Foundation Establishment’s hand, transforming into an unusual flying sword comprised of eighty-eight golden copper coins.
The leader of Baose Manor saluted quickly, lamented, "Master Uncle, the disciples were chasing the Tao brothers but got blocked. The Tao brothers must have escaped by now."
It turned out that Baose Manor’s pursuit team followed all the way to Shuangye Square, discovered the Tao brothers, and immediately notified their sect, contacting a Foundation Establishment Master Uncle.
This Foundation Establishment arrived in Shuangye Square, considering the Tao brothers’ cultivation, the pursuit team was sufficient, and with the festival’s hustle, he wandered off on his own, unaware this would happen.
After hearing his disciples complain, the Foundation Establishment snorted coldly, "Yunshan Sect, so high and mighty!"
Wu Yan saluted, replied calmly, "Feathered Scholar, in the marketplace, one cannot fight. Your sect started the chaos; hence we stopped you."
"Please accompany us for investigation."
The Feather Scholar’s eyes sharpened, "Just a mere Qi cultivator, daring to speak to me this way? Yunshan Sect wants to oppose my Baose Manor?"
Wu Yan didn’t retreat, resolutely spoke, "In the marketplace, there are only rules; sect relations are irrelevant. Even if your Gold Core from Xinghu County arrives, none may violate! Please come with me!"
Fairy Jiaojiao stood her ground, confronting the Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar without fear, bravely defending marketplace rules, fully displaying Yunshan Sect’s spirit, the onlooking cultivators watched with fervor, loudly cheering.
Indeed, Yunshan Sect, daring to follow one’s own will even before Golden Cores!
Under the public gaze, the Foundation Establishment felt deeply humiliated, angrily attempting to first subdue Wu Yan.
Fiercely fiery light flashed forth!
Explosive spiritual pressure soared into the sky, within pale cyan firelight, a breathtaking woman leapt out, her golden-red eyes fixing upon the Foundation Establishment from Baose Manor.
Like a beast hunting its prey.
The Foundation Establishment suddenly held his breath, just as Guh Niqiang coldly stated, "Move and die; I’ll say this once."
Hearing this, the Foundation Establishment felt ashamed; although his cultivation was far inferior to Guh Niqiang, how could he easily yield before his disciples?
He meant to retort, but suddenly noticed the peculiar light atop Guh Niqiang’s head, a deep watery hue, shimmering waves instilling a sense of cold and suffocation.
His body involuntarily trembled.
This, this is Tribulation Aura!
Golden Core Celestial Tribulation’s aura!
As recorded, Foundation Establishment Perfection, if sensed, the celestial tribulation will arrive within five years, and the appearance of tribulation aura indicates Golden Core Celestial Tribulation, less than three years!
Seeing her shining tribulation aura, represents her Golden Core Celestial Tribulation is the rare "Water Tribulation."
The opponent is about to undergo tribulation!
Though ultimately, only one or two out of ten succeed, her impending tribulation identity stands, potentially achieving Golden Core. The mid-stage Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar’s momentum dwindled rapidly, dared not further speak.
Turning to lead his disciples away, Wu Yan loudly called, "You still can’t leave! Causing chaos must be punished! Please follow me."
The Foundation Establishment’s face turned dark; seeing Guh Niqiang eyeing him, reluctantly led his disciples away.
The cultivators present witnessed Yunshan Sect’s strict discipline, admired greatly, also secretly fearful, deciding to be cautious and humble in the marketplace.
At this moment, Wu Yan received a communication, her voice softened, "Dao friends of Baose Manor, do not worry, we’ve also found the people you’re pursuing, now being taken to our Sect Leader, please come with us for clarification."
The onlookers, with half a front tooth, were thrilled, eager to see the Yunshan Sect Leader, enthusiastically calling companions to follow.
At this moment, the Tao brothers believed they had escaped, gasping in a corner.
When a flying light flashed, a Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar appeared before them.
"I am Tong You, Honored Guest Elder of Yunshan Sect. You two, please come with me."
