519 Dash out of the Splendid Landscape Map (1/2)
”No! Splendid Landscape Map, overturn the sky and the earth!”
Yun Tianhe could not help but roar in fury after he had lost the Inner Elixir of the Evil Fire Kylin. Suddenly the pneuma in the Splendid Landscape Map surged forcefully. Zhou Bao snatched the Inner Elixir, but just as he was about to break through the space of the map, he found that it had become much harder to break through as compared to the previous time. Later, he felt as if the whole world was going against him as layers of pressure fell upon him. For a moment it seemed as if all the mountains had fallen from the sky and done their utmost to pin him down on the map.
”Humph, are you capable of suppressing me?” Zhou Bao let out a cold snort and made an Incantation Gesture with his hands. As the Incantation Gesture took shape, the golden light on the Flipping Sky Seal in his Dantian suddenly shone brightly and the seal appeared above his head.
With a loud bang, the seal destroyed the power that was pressing down on Zhou Bao. Then, it directed a huge blow against the sky. Within the space of the Splendid Landscape Map, the earth rumbled and the mountains swayed, and a huge gap appeared in the sky.
”How cruel you people from Youxian Temple are! I can't believe that you intend to suppress us all here. It's not over. We'll just have to wait and see!” With a strange cry, Zhou Bao turned into a whirlwind and took all the living Genuine Immortals and Individual Immortals out of the Splendid Landscape Map.
”You...!” Initially, Yun Tianhe barely managed to operate the Splendid Landscape Map. Having been badly shaken up by Zhou Bao's Flipping Sky Seal, both his body and spirit had been badly hurt. His whole body was shaking violently and he almost fell to the ground.
”Martial Uncle Yun, are you alright?” At this moment, Ming Luo and Ming Chen had recovered slightly from their injuries. As soon as they saw that Yun Tianhe was about to fall, they rushed forward to hold him up. Although Youxian Temple did not suffer any severe losses, they had heavy casualties. After being bombarded by the Lunar True Thunder, their Splendid Landscape Map was in an utter mess. Their leader, Taoist Priestess Bai Lan, seemed to have disappeared. It was apparent that they would not able to account for this matter when they returned to Youxian Temple. It would be good if Yun Tianhe was still alive. In that case, they would not be blamed for what had happened. However, if Yun Tianhe should die, the two of them would have a lot of explaining to do upon their return.
Although they were only juniors compared with Yun Tianhe, they were nevertheless Genuine Immortals after all. Therefore, they were crafty and had figured out the order of priority immediately.
”Don't panic. I'm still alive!” Seeing their expressions, Yun Tianhe knew what was going on in their minds. He shrugged off their hands and stood up.
”Go and check who is still alive and bring them over here. We'll go back right away!”
”But Martial Uncle Yun, we haven't found Martial Uncle Bai Lan yet!”
”Shut up. I'll account for this matter to the Chief!” Yun Tianhe shouted angrily and interrupted Ming Luo, saying, ”Hurry up. If we don't go back as soon as possible, we will become a prey to others, just like the Evil Fire Kylin!”
After hearing Yun Tianhe's words, Ming Luo and Ming Chen looked tense, but they understood what he meant. They dared not talk anymore but tried their best to operate the Splendid Landscape Map, disappearing into thin air instantly.
This time, the Evil Fire Kylin had shown up and attracted the five biggest sects in the Four Eastern Regions to fight for it. Besides, it also caught the attention of a big sect, Youxian Temple, in the Three Western Regions.
The people from Youxian Temple were extremely ruthless. They directly exerted the Splendid Landscape Map, an Upper-grade Pure Yang Celestial Device, to cover the entire Greensword Mountain. They thought that they could acquire the Evil Fire Kylin in this way, but it turned out that things were not so simple. Not only did they misjudge the strength of the five biggest sects in the Central Mainland Region, they were also caught in a trap from the beginning.
It had never occurred to anyone that this incident was an insidious scheme plotted by Rolling Dragon King in the Sea Area by virtue of the Evil Fire Kylin. He had already laid more than 10 Lunar True Thunders in the underground fire vein of Greensword Mountain. Waiting till his enemy appeared, he triggered the Lunar True Thunder, hoping to seek revenge. Although he did not manage to avenge himself in the end, he did cause the five biggest sects and Youxian Temple to suffer great losses. Most of the Genuine Immortals and Individual Immortals who were there to capture the Evil Fire Kylin had died and only a few lucky ones were able to get out of the Splendid Landscape Map alive. Most of the essence and blood of the Evil Fire Kylin had been taken away by Hong Xuanlong from Divine Wind Palace. The Inner Elixir of the Kylin had been carried off by Zhou Bao of Yunzhou. Naturally, the headless corpse of the Kylin and the remaining parts of its essence and blood had gone to Youxian Temple.
No one dared to take the essence and blood of the Kylin away from Hong Xuanlong, nor were they able to do that. Meanwhile, no one would go after Zhou Bao's Inner Elixir because he was the one who had rescued the survivors of the five biggest sects from the Splendid Landscape Map while he was snatching the Inner Elixir. They all knew that even if Zhou Bao had not saved them, the people of Youxian Temple would not do anything to them.
