Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1360 - 781: A Clean Sweep

Killing intent, does this person have killing intent towards her?

Sui Yi detected the killing intent from this "Dongfang Bubai" towards her in just a second. Initially, she didn’t think much of it. After all, any one of them here could possibly be a demonic martial arts master, and killing without batting an eye is common. This "Dongfang Bubai" is not familiar with her. Seeing her seemingly weak, a slap to kill would be expected, right?

But this person is Sui Yi.

Her physical sensitivity had vanished, but her mind was still sharp. With one look, she saw through that there was another reason for this "Dongfang Bubai" wanting to kill her.

Of course...

Yan Jingan, regardless of what this hidden reason was, with just a brief glance, flicked her wrist, the silver ring she wore on her wrist began to spin with a clang, transforming into a long silver flow, landing on her fingertip forming a sword.

With a lift of her hand, a flick of the sword.

Following Sword Qi Yangtze River, one sword becomes Sword Spirit Universe!

Sword Qi Yangtze River is force!

Sword Spirit Universe is agility!

That one sword surpassed the agility of any sword from the swordsmen here, causing many to change their expressions.

Especially Linghu Chong and Lin Pingzhi, both are swordsmen, though they walk different paths, yet all martial paths return to one sect, all swords in the world return to one sword.

This one sword, they were far inferior to Yan Jingan.

And this one sword also finally revealed to Duan Yu and others who exactly Yan Jingan was.

"Yan Jingan is not just Yan Jingan."

"Jing, means Qing Zheng."

"So that’s how it is."

"So is Teacher being kept by the City Lord?"

Sui Yi: Why are you all always so focused on this? What about the high and cool, bold and unrestrained demeanor of martial artists?

Though Li Xunhuan had already guessed this long ago but hadn’t said it, at this moment, he wasn’t surprised. He just glanced at the calm and unchanging Sui Yi not far away.

That one is the dignified City Lord, who is this one?

There’s always a feeling of a distinctly different aura from them, yet closely related.

Fairy Jing Hong seemed to have the same feeling as Li Xunhuan, also looking at Sui Yi.

Sword Spirit broke the palm’s glow, that "Dongfang Bubai" spun, shattered the sword light, landed on the roof, shook her robe, cast a glance at Yan Jingan. Yan Jingan pressed against her sword, stepped forward, expressing her attitude with this step.

"I thought, we were not supposed to be opponents."

Yan Jingan said blandly.

"If you want to stop me from killing her, then you are my opponent."

Yan Jingan was silent for a moment, then said, "Then that statement of yours is very right."

Very right?

Definitely going to protect someone?

"Dongfang Bubai" suddenly covered her mouth and sneered, her charming eyes charming yet ruthless, completely identical to Dongfang Bubai. And the silver needle with a red thread that appeared at her fingertips undeniably verified her identity.

However, at this time.

Yan Jingan suddenly frowned because footsteps came from behind her.

A person slowly walked over from the end of the street.

The long robe dragged the ground. Steps were slow.

There are not many whom Yan Jingan would remember in this lifetime, this person is one.

Sui Yi had already caught Sun Xiaohong, hearing the footsteps, turned to look.

It was a somewhat older man, his spirit and the years merged as one, he slowly approached, that maroon robe seemed like his life, a life of slaughter and drifting.

The gray temples did not verify the passing of his years, but rather the best time when a man knows his destiny, the best time to establish his empire.

Originally, such times would come many years earlier, yet willingly because of a woman.

Pang Ban looked at Yan Jingan, who had turned her head to look, and said slowly, "Jingyan, long time no see."

The "long time" he mentioned probably meant over a hundred years.

"Yes, it’s been a long time. I probably won’t fight you."

"I know," Pang Ban smiled. "You have a guilty conscience, so you can’t beat me."

Actually, Zhou Ban’s words were targeting the events of the past, but at this moment, with so many people here, their imagination collectively linked to recent events.

That person is still here.

Keeping a little white face in secret, no wonder there’s a guilty conscience?

Sun Xiaohong felt that staying next to Sui Yi was probably the safest, but those fiery gazes around her could have stabbed her to death with a glance.

But if Yan Jingan was too occupied and didn’t want to fight Pang Ban, then...

Pang Ban stood still.

For another bookish and refined man appeared behind Sui Yi, unremarkable in appearance, yet possessing a unique aura.

Pang Ban faced off against this person from a distance.

No one said a word. At this moment, Yan Jingan was unimportant, Sun Xiaohong was also unimportant.

****and schemes all paled in comparison to that purest martial arts battle intent.

Lang Fanyun.

Only this person could make Pang Ban harbor battle intent.

When Lang Fanyun drew his sword, both he and Pang Ban vanished together.

First on the Black List against seventh on the Heavenly List!

This was a cross-rank battle!

Also a battle of destiny!

Crash~~~

All the space gases surged as the two people leaped, the only ones unaffected were "Dongfang Bubai" with Yan Jingan, and Jade Rakshasa with Yin Yang.

Six Grand Sect Leaders!

Three battles divided the entire lantern-lit long street into three sections!

In these three sections, those who could maintain their bodily freedom were extremely few.

Wu Yazi with Li Qiushui and the Tianshan Beauty were under immense pressure as they reached towards Sun Xiaohong!

Is there anyone who can save them this time?

Sun Xiaohong’s first reaction was to get far away from Sui Yi, to avoid implicating Sui Yi, but she hadn’t even made a move.

"I can cure Li Canghai’s illness."

A single sentence changed Wu Yazi’s expression; he instantly retracted his martial arts, turning to block, deflecting the attacks from Tianshan Beauty and Li Qiushui.

"Is this really true?" Though not possible now, pulling a White Wolf with empty hands was something.

She really was not doing it for the first time.

In that instant, Ren Yingying and Lu Xiaofeng both felt a slight unease.

"Mm," Sui Yi responded lightly.

Alright, Wu Yazi never wanted to do something against principles; if it weren’t for Li Canghai, he would never have taken action. But now that this person had a solution...

Li Qiushui was somewhat unwilling in her heart. After all, she did not want Li Canghai alive and hoped even more to join hands with her elder brother to kill the senior sister, to cause her unbearable grief.

"Elder brother, don’t forget, little sister is still here."

Li Qiushui didn’t say it directly, but someone abruptly interjected.

"Capture Sun Xiaohong, threaten Elder Tianji, interrogate Xiang Yutian’s whereabouts, capture Xiang Yutian again, and then seize the War God’s Atlas to negotiate—especially since you don’t have the capital for negotiation yet—because Li Canghai is in the hands of Sky Asking Tower."

"If I were you... act against Sky Asking Tower, save Li Canghai, and I’ll act to save people, just three steps, doesn’t it seem much simpler and more assured?"

Uh... it does seem that way indeed.

Why do such complicated things sound so easy from this person’s mouth?

The strangest thing is... how did she know Li Canghai was in the hands of Sky Asking Tower?!

This was supposed to be a secret!

Regardless of Tianshan Beauty or Li Qiushui, the three of Wu Yazi instantly ceased action.

And Sui Yi’s gaze eerily turned towards the side of Sky Asking Tower.

The people of the Sky Asking Tower were also staring straight at her.

Especially that white-clad, black-faced man, his gaze was sinister and deep.

His stare with Sui Yi... the air temperature was dropping.

Cold and bizarre enough that even Pang Ban and others noticed something strange, and couldn’t help but cease their actions one by one.

Assessing both sides, at this moment, Sui Yi was the person with the strongest presence, although this presence came very abruptly and strangely.

Until Sui Yi spoke.

"Your Sky Asking Tower’s lanterns are quite beautiful, it’s just the fragrance I don’t quite like."

Sui Yi said, tapping her glazed lantern with a finger.

Fragrance?

Yan Jingan and "Dongfang Bubai" both flicked their fingertips, poof! Two lanterns fell to the ground, the glaze shattered, releasing a rich aroma, the aroma so overwhelming that the martial artists closest turned pale instantly, then screamed: "My Inner Strength! No!"

They watched as their bodies, after inhaling the rich aroma, reached a certain point where their surging Inner Strength seemed completely restrained by the aroma, suddenly being expelled from their bodies.

The Inner Strength turned into vapor, swirling in the air, they were horrified, grabbing at the air, but unable to grasp anything.

Everyone was shocked, distancing themselves far from these lanterns,

If the periodic plundering of their cultivation level was the horror of this Lost Land, then these lanterns gathered all the terror of these years together.

"Ah, indeed they’ve run out of patience, wanting to round everything up" Elder Tianji pulled his erhu, sighing.

At that moment, Pang Ban lifted his head and said, "I understand now why Yin Yang made such a dense black mist, it was to concentrate the fragrance released by these lanterns here, poisoning everyone unknowingly..."

Yin Yang’s laughter was eerie, Sen Sen glanced at Sui Yi and responded to Pang Ban: "Are you angry that you weren’t chosen by Sky Asking Tower as an ally, didn’t expect even the mighty Pang Ban to become prey."

"Which one here isn’t prey?" Pang Ban sneered, "but being fed a piece of cake, thinking oneself has already entered the hall, shouldn’t forget one is just a leashed dog, at least we are prey flying outside."

Well, this formidable demon’s words were indeed venomous.

Venomous enough that Yin Yang couldn’t say a word, only making a fist in the air, strands of black vapor condensed, not targeting Pang Ban, but rather the ubiquitous lanterns near him.

These lanterns were like landmines! Ready to explode upon contact!

No one dared to touch them!

Escape?

Many decisively tried to flee beyond the black mist, but how could Yin Yang’s controlled mist be so easy to escape!

Especially as the one from Sky Asking Tower was already laughing.

"No wonder you, who usually dislikes these fancy things, especially bought a lantern, it seems you sensed something unusual and bought it to inspect... it’s something I overlooked..."

This person’s words revealed one thing—they were quite focused on Sui Yi, or rather, the entire Sky Asking Tower was focused and familiar with Sui Yi.

"But if it were the old you, I wouldn’t be surprised, but the current you..." this person’s tone extended, seemingly confused.

Sui Yi: "The current me is no different from the old me, Sui Yi is still Sui Yi."

This statement seemed to hold a deeper meaning.

The person chuckled, his laughter eerie, echoing emptily.

After laughing.

Many black-clad figures burst out of the nearby buildings, were these black-clad men?
