Chapter 208: Dare You Play Mind Games With My Holy Sect?
"You're not even trying to run away?"
Treasure-Child canceled his escape technique, his face darkening as he released his divine consciousness to scan the surroundings. "Strange... There's no ambush here."
He frowned in confusion. When he saw Lv Yang standing there without fear, he'd assumed he'd walked into a trap—but clearly, that wasn't the case.
Lv Yang furrowed his brows. "Why are you alone?"
Where was the Dragon-Hooking Elder?
Aren't they allies?
Or could it be...
Realization dawned. If Treasure-Child truly had ties to the Dao Court, he must have gone south to the Qing Kingdom to seek reinforcements.
So there might be bigger fish?
The thought calmed Lv Yang further. "You rural eccentrics have no morals whatsoever. Just completed a transaction, and already trying to rob and kill me."
His words struck Treasure-Child's heart demons. "You dare lecture me about morality? You demonic sect True Men are the ones who perform fake transactions, steal treasures, and pay nothing!"
"You recognized me?"
Lv Yang feigned surprise, then grew stern. "Brave indeed, knowing I'm from the Holy Sect yet daring to chase and kill me?"
"Exactly because you're demonic filth!"
Treasure-Child roared, a circular mirror materializing behind his head. Its light coalesced into a Sky Message beacon. But before it could vanish, he swiped his sleeve and intercepted it. After scanning it with divine consciousness, he laughed wildly. "So this is just a bluff!"
The Sky Message was clearly a distress signal. Treasure-Child assumed Lv Yang was feigning composure to secretly request help. Little did he know his opponent's interception abilities were too advanced!
His suspicions vanished.
"You won't leave here today!"
As he spoke, brilliant treasure light erupted behind him, condensing into a mighty river formed entirely of hundreds of magical artifacts—blades, spears, pagodas, and cauldrons swirling endlessly.
The Ten Thousand Treasures River!
The river surged downward. Lv Yang felt an immense force crashing upon him, sending him stumbling into the torrent. Artifacts swarmed him like hungry beasts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Blows rained on Lv Yang's body, showering sparks, yet he stood unmoved like a reef against crashing waves.
"An impressive Ten Thousand Treasures River", he remarked, studying the artifacts. These weren't random treasures—each was meticulously crafted. Their combined techniques borrowed Celestial Vanguard and Terrestrial Sha energies, manifesting upper-tier divine essence.
Pity the small-time operation.
"Calling it 'Ten Thousand Treasures' requires ten thousand artifacts. Five hundred is just a creek."
Treasure-Child, head of a minor Jiangbei sect, struggled to gather five hundred. The Holy Sect, with its round-the-clock forging divisions, could easily create true treasure rivers.
"Besides, five hundred leaves too many gaps."
Lv Yang shook his head, then unfurled his Aetherophagous Beetle Pouch. A swarm of billions of Aetherophagous Beetles erupted like dark clouds, hurling themselves at the treasure river's radiance.
Treasure-Child's face contorted. "What monstrous insects are these?!"
His artifacts, though powerful combined, still had structural weaknesses. The beetles exploited every gap, gnawing at the treasure light. Individually insignificant, their sheer numbers overwhelmed.
The river trembled. Magical artifacts clashing created resonant chimes—Divine Essence manifesting as the 【Treasure Chime Sound】. The sound waves made beetles explode from within.
"Ingenious", Lv Yang murmured, sensing both artifact essence and a hidden divine ability.
'Pity the Chongguang True Man's golden request. Qingcheng Feixue True Monarch personally obscured heavenly mechanisms. Even Foundation Builders can't calculate karma.'
His thoughts raced as he flicked his sleeve. The Celestial Edict Seal—a purple-gold official seal gifted by Ying Tongshou during their Overseas Dominion days—crashed onto the river. All metal artifacts fell under its suppression, and the treasure river's divine essence collapsed.
Treasure-Child's eyes narrowed. "Demonic sect scum."
Greed and hatred flickered, replaced by laughter as more figures arrived—Dragon-Hooking Elder, Five Elements True Man, and six Foundation Builders, including two Mid-Stage cultivators.
"Severing Void!" The formation locked Lv Yang in place, preventing even Foundation Stage cultivators from escaping.
"Demonic sect, you've done well", Five Elements True Man chuckled. Even cautious Dragon-Hooking Elder relaxed.
Seven Foundation Builders—three Mid-Stage, four Early—nearly half Qing Kingdom's strength, surrounding one Holy Sect True Man. Seven-to-one odds. Victory certain.
But Lv Yang smiled. "Indeed, you've done well."
Before Treasure-Child could react, monstrous qi surged outside their formation. A giant hand pierced Zhao Xia Clan's Xia Weiming, shattering his Dao Foundation.
"Quick escape", Yinshan True Man muttered emotionlessly. "One crippled suffices."
Lv Yang laughed. "Brother, you're late!"
Yinshan Man finally smirked. "Gathering allies took time. But we caught quite the catch."
Around them, more figures emerged—True Men returning from the auction, including Han Xiang Mid-Stage and a battle-clad woman.
From the start, Lv Yang and Yinshan True Man suspected traps. The Holy Sect's policy? Shoot first, draw targets later. While Lv Yang baited, Yinshan secretly rallied Jiangbei cultivators for ambush.
"Jiangdong rats daring to play mind games with my Holy Sect?"
"Arrogant fools!"
Five Elements True Man's face turned corpse-white, suddenly snarling at Treasure-Child: "You betrayed us!?"
