The voice fell, and the seven-color dragon boat had already rushed over, stopping not far from the two horses. The speaker was a woman who looked like she was in her twenty-three or four years old, wearing a classical palace dress, exuding an air of nobility and elegance all over her body.
The woman's eyes sparkled as she smiled and glanced at Zhou Qing, who was wrapped in a five-colored light shield. However, the Extreme Light Shield was no ordinary treasure - it was a divine artifact used by the Island Master of Trapped Emptiness to withstand the Nine Heavens' Thunder Tribulation. Its power was boundless. Xuan Yuan's intention in giving it to Zhou Qing wasn't pure; he had originally planned to use Zhou Qing's Blood Transformation Sword to open the seal on Changping, obtain the soul of the Fierce Ghost Army, and then kill him to retrieve the shield. But things didn't go as planned, and in the end, Zhou Qing managed to break through space and escape, much to Xuan Yuan's dismay.
The palace-dressed woman didn't even look at the faces of the people inside, but vaguely saw that there were several young men and a little girl. The palace-dressed woman smiled: "Zhenling, you five scattered people from the Western Regions don't stay in the Western Regions to rob and steal, but also take advantage of the opportunity to come to the mainland to join in the fun?"
The leading Taoist was obviously the true spirit of the palace-dressed woman, now with an extremely ugly face, coldly said to the palace-dressed woman: "Seven-colored fairy, you repeatedly cause trouble for us. Considering that you are a female stream, I won't bother with you, lest we fall into the trap. However, now that we have entered the inner land, you come again to stir up trouble. Do you think that the five scattered people fear your Great Self Palace?"
Zhen Ling, Zhen Guang, and Zhen Kong were originally cultivators of the Huashan Sect. Thirty years ago, during the Great Dao War, although the Dao Gate was victorious, the casualties were not small. Their master died at the hands of the Demon Gate, and the Huashan Sect, which was already declining in population, lost its lineage with his death. The three of them had not yet learned the true transmission, but they were fortunate to discover the ancient cave dwelling of Huayang Zhenren Tao Hongjing, where they found a volume of the Huayang Scripture inscribed on the stone wall and several top-grade elixirs in the alchemical furnace.
"After reading through the chapter, my heart arose, three parts of wine power, writing Huayang" This Huayang Zhenren Tao Hongjing is not only a profound and mysterious cultivator, but also a elegant poet, the Daoist books and elixirs he left behind are extraordinary, and the three people actually reached the stage of transforming into gods in just twenty years.
Alas, the three were about to make a big name for themselves at the gate of Guangda, but they clashed with several disciples of Huashan and Wuxing Sect. Several people fought over a hundred-year-old purple bamboo, after all, the three brothers' skills were superior, and the power of Taoist magic was also enormous. On the spot, one of the disciples was struck by lightning and killed, and the others were seriously injured and escaped. The three brothers had a deep feud with Wuxing Sect from then on, provoking Tianyi Daoist, the elder of Wuxing Sect at that time, to take action himself to hunt down the three.
Tianyi Old Dao's physical strength had already entered the late stage of Hua Shen, and among the four great masters, it was not far off. Especially his Five Elements technique had reached its peak. The three people were just entering the Hua Shen period at that time, how could they be Tianyi Old Dao's opponent? Fortunately, in the Taoist methods left by Huayang True Person Tao Hongjing, there was a kind of Taiyi Flying Heaven Illusion Escape Technique, which allowed the three to escape with their lives and flee to the Western Regions to avoid chaos.
As for Huiyun and Huaishai, the two monks were originally Buddhist disciples of Famen Temple. Because they planned to steal the relic of the Buddha's finger bone left after his nirvana, they were discovered by their master and fled in a hurry, entering the Potala Palace. Although Buddhism is said to be a pure land, there are also sectarian disputes. The Buddhism in the Central Plains was the Chan sect passed down from Bodhidharma's "one flower opens five leaves", while the Western Regions were Tantric. The two religions have different teachings and although they do not have an incompatible relationship like fire and water, they also do not have a harmonious relationship.
Huī Yún and Huī Hǎi, the two of them, had been living in the Potala Palace for several years, but they were not peaceful characters. They secretly studied the forbidden Buddhist teachings of Mi Zong, Xǐ Yuè Chán (Joyful Chan), and were discovered by the elder, Guà Tí Dà Zhǎng Lǎo. The two were to be eliminated, but they had already entered the Chan sect and then the Mi sect, secretly learning many forbidden techniques. Their Taoist cultivation was not weak either. Under sudden attack, Guà Tí Dà Zhǎng Lǎo was also injured, allowing the two to escape. They coincidentally met up with the three True Spirits who were fleeing to the Western Regions to avoid chaos. These five people surprisingly formed a group and started committing robberies in the Western Regions.
The Western Regions are also a treasure land, and to this day, many famous mountains have not been developed. Unlike the Central Plains, where worldly energy is pervasive, it is actually a clean place for cultivation. Some scattered cultivators have come to cultivate in the Western Regions, but there are five people who specialize in robbing those cultivators of their Buddhist scriptures and magical techniques. When they encounter weaker forces, they even go so far as to forcibly rob other sects' mountain gates. These five individuals are all high-level experts in the Nascent Soul stage, so it is rare for them to fail. For a time, they have made the cultivators of the Western Regions live in fear, and when individual cultivators hear the name "Western Regions Five Scattered People", they can't help but shiver with fear.
It's just Kunlun, the Buddha Palace and other big sects are also helpless. It's not that they're not powerful enough, but rather that the five people are too cunning, with no fixed location, hitting and running, and the Taiyi Flying Heaven Fantasy's escape technique is also extremely clever. As soon as they sense even a slight abnormality, they run away without a trace.
Five people have been robbing for many years, and the harvest is also quite rich. They have accumulated a lot of heavenly treasures, earthly treasures, and techniques. The three true spirits have even used the many heavenly treasures and earthly treasures obtained from robbery to cultivate the technique of refining the primordial spirit, greatly increasing their strength. As they act more and more recklessly, they finally kick an iron plate.
The Great Palace of Freedom, a mysterious sect, its origins are unknown, has always been hidden in the Western Regions. Although it is shrouded in mystery and never sets foot in the Central Plains, legend has it that inside the palace are only beautiful women, one of whom is known as the Seven-Colored Immortal Maiden, who is also one of the twelve Heavenly Masters of the Great Palace of Freedom.
That time, the five scattered people happened to meet the Seven-Colored Fairy and the Cloudy Mist Fairy, who were going out on an errand together. The two barbarian monks, Huiyun and Huihai, originally sneaked into the Joyful Chan Temple to learn its skills, but when they saw these two beautiful young female cultivators, their lust was stirred up and they couldn't help themselves. The five of them attacked together, but were severely taught a lesson. In terms of strength, the Seven-Colored Fairy and the Cloudy Mist Fairy might not be stronger than the five scattered people, but the power of the Great Freedom Palace's treasure was boundless. The Seven-Colored Relic Treasure Umbrella in the hands of the Seven-Colored Fairy and the Cloudy Mist Fairy, one attacking and one defending, complemented each other perfectly. Those two were ancient treasures, far stronger than the treasures that the five scattered people had obtained through robbery.
Five people were beaten and fled in disarray, but unfortunately, the two of them had cast a tracking spell and would occasionally come to find trouble with the five, making their heads big as a bowl. This time they entered the inland area of Zhongyuan, more than half of which was to avoid being pursued by these two people. Unexpectedly, they were still caught up, if these five scattered people could still look good, that would be strange!
