Chapter 304: Chapter 269: Foundation Establishment Emerges

Zheng Yi felt a slight anger in his heart, but now was not the time to dwell on this matter. Instead, he activated Xuan Ye with his Divine Thought, determined to kill Tuoba Wufeng in a short time.

No matter who was breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage on Celestial Longevity Mountain, they shouldn’t be disturbed.

"Boom...!"

Scorching flames swept in, almost turning into a fire cloud, suppressing Tuoba Wufeng and the cold air below it.

Intense steam surged wildly, enveloping the surrounding trees, lakes, and stones, burning them to ashes.

Yongchun Palace and the Imperial Garden, being destroyed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Pfft!"

Within the cold air, Tuoba Wufeng suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Cold Demon Core in his hand, urging out the last trace of essence within it.

His eyes stared dead straight in the direction of Celestial Longevity Mountain, a hint of surprise appearing in his gaze.

This, this aura!

It’s the aura of their Tuoba Family’s cultivation technique "Cloud Dream Celestial Scripture"!

At this moment, the cultivator breaking through in the distance on Celestial Longevity Mountain was most likely someone from their Tuoba Family.

Qingying!

It must be Qingying!

Hahaha...!

Tuoba Wufeng laughed heartily, no wonder Qingying left without a word a few years ago, she’d come to the Capital City!

She had long sensed the changes in the Spiritual Qi of the Capital City and hid here to break through Foundation Establishment!

Tuoba Qingying.

Now she is only twenty at most...

A twenty-year-old Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Enough to be called the only one in the Cultivation Realm today.

Celestial Spirit Root cultivator!

If only he could hold on until Qingying succeeded in breaking through, then he could survive!

Even, with Qingying’s power... suppress the Great Yu Zheng Royal Family!

Pfft!

Essence blood sprayed out, the Cold Demon Core surged, and the Cold Demon Illusion became more solid, crazily attacking the Array and Blazing Fire Banner.

Along with the changes in this place, a large number of Imperial Guards and Imperial Guard troops also arrived here, but under Zheng Yi’s order, they were not to approach.

At the same time, he issued another order.

All thermal weapons and bombs like the Red Coat Cannon, Thunder Shock, and Thunderbolt were transported to the Imperial Palace.

Not only that, even Cui Xiabing, Yue Chan, Zhuang Yuheng, Yang Liuqing, Dongyun Jie, Dongyun Yu and the other women also rushed over.

Each focused, staring intently in the direction of Celestial Longevity Mountain.

Witnessing an opportunity to break through to Foundation Establishment!

For cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Stage like them, it was a heaven-sent opportunity.

But at this moment, Zheng Yi’s face was somewhat unsightly, he had already seen Tuoba Wufeng’s movements surrounded by the Blazing Fire Banner.

He is trying to... wait for that mysterious Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Looks like... they know each other?

Zheng Yi’s heart hardened, both hands forming seals, activating the puppet Xuan Ye.

"Roar...!"

The puppet Xuan Ye let out a low growl, a flash of black light erupting from its body, disregarding the attack of the Cold Demon Core, charging straight in.

He intended to use the puppet Xuan Ye to directly attack and kill Tuoba Wufeng.

"Clang...!"

The Dragon-slaying Sword emitted a brilliant sword light, almost becoming a blade of light that swept over, splitting the Cold Demon Illusion in two with one strike.

The green boots beneath his feet flashed again, suddenly whipping up a gust of wind, pushing back all the cold mist around him.

Windwalker Boots!

Supported by this top-grade Magical Artifact, Xuan Ye’s figure became nearly a phantom, instantly rushing in front of Tuoba Wufeng.

The Dragon-slaying Sword flashed with light again, transforming into an extremely fine sword light, slicing down diagonally.

"Qingying! Save me...!!!"

Tuoba Wufeng’s heart rang alarm bells, both hands pushing forward abruptly, shouting loudly at the same time.

"Clang...!"

The sword Qi roared like a dragon, accompanied by a crisp ’crack’ as it shattered, the Cold Demon Core in his hand was actually cut in two.

Thanks to the defense of the Cold Demon Core, Tuoba Wufeng was able to dodge this hit by the puppet Xuan Ye, his figure retreating explosively.

"Boom...!"

Just then, the Spiritual Energy Cloud Layer on Celestial Longevity Mountain in the distance finally burst open, a delicate figure suddenly shooting out from within.

In the distance, it was a woman’s figure dressed in a lake blue palace robe.

After the woman appeared, floating in mid-air, she suddenly turned to look over.

"Stop...!"

A crisp female voice rang out, simultaneously as a blue flying sword appeared beneath her feet, swiftly heading in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Zheng Yi, however, paid no heed, extending a single hand forward once more. The Puppet Xuan Ye’s figure shot forward rapidly, and the Dragon-slaying Sword transformed into a beam of sword light, ruthlessly stabbing into Tuoba Wufeng’s heart!

"Pfft!"

Tuoba Wufeng’s body jerked violently, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.

His face immediately turned ashen, his body teetering, as he instinctively grasped the Dragon-slaying Sword, nearly collapsing to the ground.

"Im-impossible... Qingying...!"

As if sensing Tuoba Wufeng’s cries of agony, the female figure’s speed increased even more.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft Pfft Pfft!!!"

Almost simultaneously, the entire surface of the lake within the Imperial Garden suddenly exploded, transforming into a billowing mass of water vapor that enveloped the greater part of the Imperial Palace.

And her figure, within just a few breaths, arrived above everyone.

With the power of Divine Thought, Zheng Yi had long detected the presence of this female.

Her lake-blue long dress, her face as fair as jade, calm as water eyes, pupils black as the starry sky, especially her curved eyelashes, exuded an enchanting brilliance.

No doubt, whether in terms of appearance or temperament, this woman was the most captivating among the hundreds of women Zheng Yi had encountered.

"Uncle-progenitor..."

Tuoba Qingying looked at Tuoba Wufeng, who was severely injured and held by Puppet Xuan Ye, her tone somewhat calm.

"Qingying..."

Tuoba Wufeng, barely holding onto breath, trembled as he said, "Save, quickly save me..."

Tuoba Qingying then turned to Zheng Yi: "Didn’t I tell you to stop... hmm?"

She scrutinized Zheng Yi carefully, her gaze flickering, unsure of what thoughts crossed her mind.

"Who are you?"

Zheng Yi retorted instead, with a wave of his hand, as the Thousand Illusions Glazed Painting unfolded, shielding those in front of him.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Eight Blood Evil Gus also flew over, swirling around Zheng Yi.

Puppet Xuan Ye retracted the Dragon-slaying Sword, standing steadfastly before Zheng Yi.

Chen Liancang, Cui Xiabing, Yue Chan, Zhuang Yuheng, Dongyun Jie, Dongyun Yu, and even Yang Liuqing, all came over, confronting Tuoba Qingying in midair.

From a farther distance, a large number of Imperial Guards and Imperial Army surged over.

In Zheng Yi’s Divine Thought, he even discovered Xu Qingluan, who had long advanced to Innate, fully armed and glaring at Tuoba Qingying.

Tuoba Qingying’s deep pupils merely glanced at the people on the ground, saying indifferently: "This group... is not enough."

"Except for this puppet that can give me some trouble, your subordinates are not my opponents."

"Oh?"

Zheng Yi replied with a laugh: "Why don’t we... give it a try?"

He simply didn’t believe it, how strong could a newly advanced Foundation Establishment Cultivator be?

Just Puppet Xuan Ye alone could kill her!

"What you rely on is nothing but this puppet capable of exerting Golden Core stage power."

Tuoba Qingying spoke calmly: "But to fully utilize this puppet’s power, at least mid-grade Spirit Stones are required."

"In this Spiritless Land, how many mid-grade Spirit Stones do you have at hand?"

"One? Or two?"

"I just need to drag until this puppet’s Spirit Stones are exhausted to win this battle."

"However..."

Tuoba Qingying’s tone suddenly shifted, saying: "I am not a person fond of killing, and there are things about you that interest me."

"I think we can make a deal."

"A deal?"

Zheng Yi replied strangely: "What kind of deal?"

"I can sense that you bear a treasure of immense value, and behind you lies a great secret. Release my uncle, and assist me in cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Otherwise..."

"Boom...!!!"

At this moment, yet another thunderous boom resounded from the direction of Celestial Longevity Mountain.

The same Spiritual Energy Vortex, the same Spiritual Energy Cloud Layer, the same Spiritual Qi Fluctuation, surged out once again from Celestial Longevity Mountain.

The expressions of the people present grew increasingly peculiar, especially Zheng Yi.

Damn it!

How come... someone else is breaking through to Foundation Establishment on my Celestial Longevity Mountain!

Tuoba Qingying’s eyes remained unsurprised, coolly saying: "It seems... he has broken through as well."

"This place... Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, is just like that!"
