Chapter 149: Robbery of Treasure

  First update! Still more than 80 collections away from breaking 2000! Please give me strength!

  ——

  Rumble!

  Four figures, as soon as they made a move, their shadows flashed by, and the void was stirred up with heavy waves, that kind of power had already reached a rather frightening level.

  These four high-ranking masters suddenly took action, almost beyond the expectation of everyone present. No one had thought that they, with such noble identities, would lose their composure and join forces to attack Chen Yu together!

  Su Zhen Tian's four figures were as fast as lightning, unparalleled, and almost as soon as the sound had just started, the four of them rushed down from the jade stage, obviously with prior planning.

  And all four of them were in the state of Nirvana, bursting out with a terrifying aura that swept across like a vast ocean, causing the people under the jade platform to feel suffocated and be blown away instantly, just like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, destroying everything.

  In the distance, Chen Quan closed his eyes with a faint smile, only to feel an extremely dangerous feeling surge up in his heart, sending shivers down his spine. He suddenly snapped out of that peaceful and blissful state, and then saw Su Zhen Tian and three others charging towards him with an aura of extreme terror, their mere presence exerting an unbearable pressure on him.

  "What's going on? How did I get out of the Precious Pagoda's Taiji Realm?" Chen Xiao hadn't figured it out yet, when he received a thought from Ling Bai, "Hurry up and hide! These four guys are strong practitioners in the Nirvana Realm. You took the Floating Tower Treasure Pagoda, how could they let you off?"

  In almost an instant, Chen Tang suddenly understood his situation, and his face turned extremely ugly. Su Zhen Tian and the other four came from all directions, their powerful auras firmly locking him in place. The four strands of terrifying pressure that only Nirvana realm cultivators could possess squeezed in on him from all sides, making him feel like a straw in a vast ocean. He had to use all his might to activate all his cultivation just to barely resist the terrifying pressure. As for resisting or escaping, it was simply impossible.

  This is the huge difference between borders.

  Even if Chen Yao's combat power is excellent, his wit is high, and the divine power he possesses is fierce, even if he can kill Huang Ting Xiu Shi and escape from the hands of Er Yi Jin Dan Xiu Shi, but facing a Nie Pan Jing Da Xiu Shi who is two major realms higher than him, he is weak and small, like an ant that can be crushed to death with one step.

  What's more, there are four Nirvana realm masters working together right now, just like four giants using their fingers to crush an ant, how can there be any room for struggle?

  This was Chen Yao's first time feeling so powerless, feeling that his own strength was so insufficient, and a desperate sense of being on the verge of death.

  Chen Yao is in danger!

  Du Qingxi closed her eyes, Duanmu Ze's face twisted, Song Lin's pupils contracted, Chen Huan bit his lip, this scene happened too fast, so fast that they couldn't react at all, and didn't have time to take any action. Only Su Jiao's eyes flashed with excitement and pleasure, she had a deep grudge against Chen Yao, and hated him so much that she wished he would die immediately in her father's hands, this scene was exactly what she wanted.

  "Die!" Su Zhen Tian swooped down to Chen Yao's head, staring at the close-up of Chen Yao, his heart surged with an uncontrollable killing intent, his inner fury driving him to want to smash that person into a pulp immediately.

  "Suzhou Family Master Suzhen Tian, Xingluo Palace Sect Master Ti Yunzi, Cang Family Master Cang Xiao Long, Wanyun Academy Master Jiang Zhenyu... I remember you all, even if it's death, I'll drag you down to the grave with me!" Chen Yao's eyes flashed with a fierce and ruthless glint, he was going to self-destruct his entire cultivation, killing one by one!

  Just as Chen Xiao was in a desperate situation, he suddenly saw a figure appear before his eyes. Before he could even recognize who it was, he heard four dull explosions, and the four people rushing towards him from all sides - Su Zhen Tian and the others - were actually sent flying tens of meters away by this person's single swing of their sleeve, their bodies looking extremely disheveled!

  Hiss!

  This sudden scene was like a thunderbolt out of the blue, instantly stunning everyone present, almost daring not to believe their eyes. This is a joint attack by four Nirvana realm cultivators, how could it be so easily dismantled!?!

  At this moment, Chen Xiao also saw clearly who the newcomer was. The man wore a cyan robe, held a feather fan, and had a warm and jade-like complexion, with a refined and handsome appearance. He was none other than Wen Xuan Zhenren, a master of the Liuyun Sword Sect, a great cultivator in the Realm of Hiding who rarely went out and whose name was not well-known!

  "It's actually Wen Xuan Zhenren, no wonder he could break through Su Zhen Tian's four-person pincer attack with one move!"

  "Huh? I seem to have heard of it too. In the Liuyun Sword Sect, there is a secluded and reclusive True Immortal. Could it be that this senior in front of me is actually...?"

  "It's actually a true immortal from the Netherworld Realm! Awesome! Awesome!"

  Seeing the mysterious person who suddenly appeared, it was actually Wen Xuan, the Mysterious True Person of the Liuyun Sword Sect, who rarely asked about worldly affairs. The expressions of the people present were instantly filled with a hint of surprise, reverence and admiration.

  However, for the four sect masters Su Zhentian, Tie Yunzi, Cang Xuelong and Jiang Zhenyu, the appearance of Wen Xuan made them feel not only surprised but also a wave of anger.

  As soon as they saw it, they could destroy Chen Yu, snatch the Xianqi Pagoda, but suddenly a Minghua True Person killed them horizontally. How could their hearts be good?

  "Master!" Chen Huaofei flew over and bowed respectfully.

  "This time you performed well in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, just watch from the side for now, I'll take you back to the sect later." Wen Xuan waved his hand with a warm smile.

  "Uh-huh." Chen Hao nodded and walked over to Chen Yu's side, asking: "Brother, are you okay?"

  Chen Xiao shook his head, gazing at Su Zhen Tian and the other three with unhidden hatred in his eyes. If it weren't for Wen Xuan's timely rescue, he would have been forced to self-destruct and die on the spot by these four people, just like walking through a hell of death. The feelings of helplessness, anger, and unwillingness all transformed into hatred in his chest. He had secretly decided that once he became powerful enough, he would definitely eliminate these four despicable and shameless things!

  Master? I heard that Xuan Zhenren is actually the master of Chen Tang's younger brother? No wonder he would lend a hand to help him.

  When Chen Hao and Wen Xuan saw each other, the people present suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then another shock in their hearts. Chen Xiao's younger brother had actually become a disciple of a cultivator in the Realm of Eternal Life? Then wasn't he of the same generation as Ling Kongzi, the leader of Liuyun Sword Sect?

  "Hear the Xuan Master Uncle." As if to verify the speculation in everyone's mind, Ling Kongzi immediately floated down from the jade platform and came to the front of Wen Xuan Zhenren, bowed his head to pay respects, and looked at Chen Huan with a smile: "Originally, after this year's Qianlong List competition, I planned to promote you as my true disciple. Now it seems that there is no need for that, you have already become my younger brother, haha."

  "Chen Hao has seen his senior brother." Chen Hao was also very obedient and bowed down to call out.

  "Alright, alright, haha, this is a meeting gift from your senior brother, a top-grade yellow-rank treasure, the Qingyan Sword." Ling Kongzi smiled and took out a cyan flying sword emitting a dense fiery aura, handing it to Chen Huan.

  "Hmph, you Flowing Cloud Sword Sect are quite cunning, pulling in Chen Xiao's younger brother is equivalent to indirectly obtaining the celestial artifact Floating Tower Trial from Chen Xiao. Do you think the fellow cultivators present don't see through your scheme?" Su Zhen Tian coldly spoke up from a distance.

  "It's exactly as you said, the Floating Trial Pagoda is a shared treasure of all major powers in Longyuan, but now it has been monopolized by your Flowing Cloud Sword Sect. We will not agree to this." The leader of Xingluo Palace, Ti Yunzi, also chimed in.

  "Not bad, we won't agree either." Said Cang Jia's master Cang Xiao Long and Wan Yun Academy's master Jiang Zhen Yu simultaneously.

  In an instant, these four families rose up together, simultaneously voicing their opposition to the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, causing the atmosphere around them to suddenly become heavy and tense.

  Even the patriarchs of various families who were watching from the jade platform suddenly had countless thoughts in their minds, but due to the overwhelming power of Xun Xuanguang, they still chose to watch. However, one thing is certain: they would not want to see the Floating Tower fall into the hands of the Liuyun Sword Sect either.

  "Heaven and earth treasures, those who have fate get them. The pagoda has stood here for nearly seven thousand years, why haven't you subdued it? Now, disregarding etiquette, using the strong to bully the weak, openly and brazenly robbing treasures, I'm ashamed on your behalf." Xuan Zhen True Person said with a wave of his feather fan, disdainfully.

  "Hmph! We act out of righteous indignation, unwilling to let the precious tower fall into outsiders' hands. How can you say we're bullying the weak?!" Su Zhen Tian said with a gloomy face: "Wen Xuan True Person, as a senior, you've been making things difficult for us everywhere. Aren't you also eyeing this treasure tower?! Today, that little brat must hand over the Floating Tower Trial Tower. Otherwise, none of the fellow daoists from Longyuan City will agree!"

  "What if I don't?" Xuan Zhen True Person smiled lightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

  "Don't blame me for being impolite then!" Su Zhen Tian sneered, "Others may fear you, Wen Xuan True Person, but I, Su Zhen Tian, am not afraid. Today, that little brat not only has to hand over the Floating Tower, but also has to pay with his life for my Su family's deceased relatives! Wen Xuan True Person, surely your Flowing Cloud Sword Sect doesn't want to go to war with my Su family, Cang family, Star Luo Palace, and Wan Yun Academy either?"

  "Threaten me?" Wen Xuan's smile disappeared from his face, and a hint of murderous intent emerged on his refined features.

  "This isn't a threat, Chen Yao is not a disciple of my Longyuan City, nor does he have any relation to your Liuyun Sword Sect. Since that's the case, why must Xianyuan True Person take it upon himself for an outsider?"

  Su Zhen Tian's face was expressionless as he said, "Besides, we don't necessarily have to take the Floating Pagoda Trial Tower for ourselves. The various major powers of Longyuan City can discuss and come up with a strategy together, and divide this treasure equally among us. I'm sure all the other sect masters present would be delighted to see this outcome."

  "Brother Su, you're really clever, wanting to kidnap us and put pressure on the Liuyun Sword Sect?" On the jade platform, a dignified middle-aged man in black robes coldly said: "My Du family thinks that since this treasure has been luckily obtained by Chen Suo, it should belong to him. As for the heavenly treasures, those who have fate will obtain them. We can't do such despicable things as forcibly taking someone else's treasure."

  This man was none other than Du Wuyuan, the master of the Du family.

  "I also think so in Song's family." said Song Wen Chong, the head of the Song family.

  "I, Duanmu family also support Brother Du's opinion." The head of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Yun Kong, also spoke up.

  The heads of the Du, Song, and Duanmu families all spoke out at once, and the situation changed again. The three families were secretly aligned with the Liuyun Sword Sect, forming a confrontational situation against Su Zhen Tian and the other four families.

  Everyone present was bewildered, looking around in confusion and secretly astonished. Chen Xiao, isn't he just an outsider cultivator? How did he get so many powerful forces to help him?

  Only Chen Xiao himself understood that it was definitely the three of Du Qingxi who had played a role, thereby influencing the attitude of their families behind them. Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and saw that Du Qingxi, Duanmu Ze, and Song Lin were waving at him, and couldn't help but smile slightly, with a warm feeling rising in his heart.

  "Hmph, the pagoda can be left for now, but this child's life must be taken to offer sacrifice to the deceased ancestors of my Su family!"

  Just then, a sharp and piercing cry was heard, and immediately everyone saw a cloud of blood rolling in from afar, transforming into an old man with long hair draped over his shoulders, a gaunt and sinister face, stepping down from mid-air as if there were an invisible staircase beneath his feet. With each step, the void around him rippled violently, and the ferocious aura emanating from his body was like a mighty river pressing down, causing everyone present to change color in alarm.
