Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, it might be possible to contact Real Person Yuan. This Hao Sanding is certainly harboring ulterior motives, and leaving from this Bishi Mountain, I fear, is not with good intentions." Qu Chongyi carefully observed the expressions of everyone in the boat. Several late-stage Core Formation cultivators were all very calm, which instead made him feel uneasy. Thus, he inquired Zhang Yuanjing through voice transmission.

Zhang Yuanjing replied, "This boat may have some peculiarities that can block communication. This poor Daoist has not received any transmissions from the Real Person, presumably due to this flying boat. What does Fellow Daoist Qu think Hao Sanding intends to do?"

Qu Chongyi said, "It's hard to say for sure, but his actions are definitely aimed at Real Person Yuan and your esteemed sect. I wonder if you have any countermeasures? Perhaps his schemes are lying in ambush within this Bishi Mountain."

Zhang Yuanjing's expression turned stern, realizing that the opponent's move might be more intense than he had guessed. Leaving aside Fire Crow Daoist was perhaps not to deal with the newly emerged Nascent Soul Real Person from Xuan Tian Sect, but to deal with him, Zhang Yuanjing.

This was really somewhat illogical, because the situation in the Hengduan Mountains was recently complex, with transformed great demons frequently appearing. Choosing such a time to set an ambush in a dangerous place in the mountains was too risky. If they failed to wait for him, Zhang Yuanjing, they might be dealt with by the demons instead.

However, precisely because of this, the suddenness of this ambush was extremely high. Not to mention him, Zhang Yuanjing, even the consistently experienced Fire Crow Daoist had not thought of this.

He possessed extremely high-level earth遁術 and had also obtained the ancient treasure "Sky Shield" from Bao Xueyang, giving him confidence that even if a Nascent Soul cultivator attacked, he could escape with his life. But Yuan Zhilin and the others accompanying him would be in danger.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and walked towards Hao Sanding.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what is the matter? When the flying boat is traveling at high speed, it is best to sit still to avoid causing misunderstandings?" Hao Sanding had been vigilantly watching Zhang Yuanjing. Seeing him approach, he immediately warned him.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding!" Zhang Yuanjing said indifferently, "Steward Hao, this poor Daoist advises you not to be stubborn. Since this Bishi Valley is fraught with danger, we should follow the wishes of all fellow Daoists and take a detour. Why harm others and yourself!"

Hao Sanding's body surged with magical power, and a long saber emerged from behind him. He said sharply, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, random movement is not allowed in the flying boat, and you must not approach the location where the boat is controlled. If you don't stop, don't blame Hao for being impolite!"

Before he finished speaking, six cultivators stood up from Zhang Yuanjing's left, right, and behind. Without exception, they were all late-stage Core Formation cultivators.

Of the three hundred or so cultivators in the boat, twenty percent were Core Formation cultivators. Among these sixty-odd people, eleven were late-stage Core Formation cultivators.

The six late-stage Core Formation cultivators who stood up were all cultivators from large sects, but none of their sects were listed among the top ten sects in each region.

At this time, Qu Yizhong also stood up and said grimly, "Qu agrees with Fellow Daoist Zhang's opinion. Please Steward Hao change the route and bypass Bishi Mountain!"

The flying boat was moving forward rapidly, already passing the foremost stone mountain and heading into the canyon.

Hao Sanding sneered and said, "Since you two are so stubborn, then Hao will—"

Before he could finish speaking, the flying boat seemed to have hit something, suddenly making a loud "clang," followed by violent shaking and a continuous descent.

"Grand Steward, the flying boat has been hit by a giant object. The formation on the left side is damaged and cannot maintain balance!" A boat operator shouted in panic.

"Grand Steward, the bow is dented inward, and the flow of Qi is blocked, making it impossible to leap forward," another boat operator shouted.

Hao Sanding's face turned pale instantly. He lowered his head and asked sternly, "Can the flying boat still遁行?"

Several boat operators remained silent.

"Speak!"

One person hesitated for a moment and said, "The borrowed force is not enough, perhaps it can't遁行 too far, and the direction will inevitably deviate."

One of the six late-stage Core Formation cultivators who had stood up earlier asked, "Steward Hao, what遁行? What do you want to do!"

Hao Sanding pointed outside the flying boat at the large black bird that had been circling and hovering, and said sharply, "Look at what that is! It's the Black Crow King!"

As soon as the words "Black Crow King" came out, many cultivators in the boat exclaimed in fear.

When the flying boat was attacked, everyone was attracted by the words of the boat operators and closely watched the movements of Zhang Yuanjing, Qu Yizhong, and Hao Sanding. Therefore, they had not carefully looked at the situation outside the boat.

At this time, reminded by Hao Sanding, they all craned their necks and looked out the windows on both sides. They saw a large black bird with wings spread out, covering the sky, hovering above the flying boat. Around it, there were many similar black birds flapping their wings. All the bird demons did not make any sound, just like dark clouds pressing down, making people feel fear.

"It's over, it's over. The flying boat is damaged, and we've encountered this demon king who is most skilled at遁法. There's no escape!" A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator cried out with a mournful face. "Hao Sanding, it's all because of your stubbornness. If you had listened to everyone's opinion and waited for Real Person Yuan to come, why would we be in this situation! You deserve to die! If I can escape with my life this time, I will definitely go to the Second Demon Suppression City to sue you! And your True Yang Sect!"

This person probably had a great background, directly calling Hao Sanding by his name and speaking with a great tone.

Hao Sanding was too lazy to pay attention to him and only said to the boat operators beside him, "What are you still standing there for? Activate the遁行 formation and escape first!"

Most people did not know what Hao Sanding wanted to do and thought it was just an emergency measure for the flying boat. But there were also a few people who seemed to know something about it. One of them shouted, "Quickly stop Hao Sanding, he wants to run!"

This person was one of the six late-stage Core Formation cultivators. He cast a spell, and a flying sword shot out from his waist, directly slashing at Hao Sanding.

The distance between him and Hao Sanding was only twenty or thirty zhang. The flying sword arrived instantly, but it was suddenly blocked three zhang away from Hao Sanding. Then, it was locked by a strong force, constantly trembling but unable to break free.

The other late-stage Core Formation cultivators hesitated, not knowing whether to attack this person or to attack the barrier protecting the rear cabin of the flying boat with him.

Qu Chongyi was very decisive. He unleashed a sword with a fierce aura, instantly slashing on the barrier, making a loud "bang" that shook the boat.

At this time, with strong demons outside and internal strife within, most of the Core Formation cultivators in the boat were at a loss, not knowing what to do. As for the Foundation Establishment cultivators, although there were many of them, their strength was limited. In this chaotic situation, they did not even have the ability to protect themselves, let alone intervene.

The flying boat continued to fall, and groups of black crows surrounded it from all directions, passing by the sides of the flying boat but not launching an attack.

At this time, a cloud of thick smoke suddenly emerged from the tail of the flying boat, spreading around and quickly covering the space.

The large black crow that had been hovering in the sky made a hurried cry. The other black birds moved upon hearing the sound, rushing towards the flying boat.

For a time, the sound of "dong dong" was endless, and the flying boat fell to the ground at an even faster speed.

Inside the flying boat, in the astonished, angry, and desperate eyes of the cultivators, a hatch door rose from the floor near the cabin, dividing the flying boat into two sections.

At the moment the hatch door rose, almost all Core Formation cultivators sacrificed their magic weapons to launch a strong attack on the hatch door and the barrier.

However, it was too late. The hatch door rose extremely quickly, and its defense was very strong, almost the same as the outer wall of the flying boat, capable of withstanding attacks from Nascent Soul beings.

At the moment the hatch door was fully raised, the section where the tail cabin was located suddenly detached. At the same time, the remaining main body of the flying boat generated a huge force, pushing the tail cabin upward, while it itself crashed rapidly to the ground like a missile.
