Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 1146: The Abbot of the Golden Dragon Temple Requests for Help
The sky is dark and abyssal.

A certain stone mountain exploded with a loud bang, and countless dense sword qi was released from it. The sword energy was extremely sharp, and carried an unstoppable momentum.

"call out!"

A figure suddenly rushed out from the exploding mountain. His body was like a loach, shuttling among the sword energy. Facing the sword energy all over the sky, he dodged it very easily and somewhat comically.

The figure that flew into the sky was actually a young man with a handsome face and panic in his eyes. He fled into the distance.

"Run inside!" As the handsome young man ran away, a young girl's delicate shout suddenly rang out amid the flying rubble of the exploding stone mountain behind him, filled with immense anger.

Then, a young girl in pure green palace dress flew out, her extremely pure face was as cold as snow.

When she saw the young man running away in panic, she snorted softly, and her whole body was filled with sword light, turning into a sword rainbow and chasing after him.

It's strange to say, the cultivation aura of this pure girl is obviously not as good as the handsome boy in front, and the sword energy she slashed out during the pursuit was also easily resolved by the boy, even easily resolved. Faced with several sword energies, the boy even ignored them and let the sword energy hit him without any harm to his body.

But the funny thing is that the boy was so frightened at this moment that he didn't dare to fight back at all in the face of the girl's swordsmanship, as if he had done something wrong.

Just as the boy and girl were running away and chasing each other, a group of female cultivators quickly caught up with them from behind.

These female cultivators were all extremely beautiful, and at this moment, they all had strange expressions on their faces.

One of the female cultivators said, "Feixue, how long are you going to continue making trouble?"

That’s right, the boy and girl who were chasing and fleeing were Ye Xuan and Shangguan Feixue.

Shangguan Tangyin shouted anxiously when she saw this scene.

It took the group an hour to fly out of the Tianyin Abyss and arrive above a nearby city, which surprised many martial artists below the city.

Ye Xuan, who was running away, had a bitter smile on his face. Suddenly, he took a deep breath, stopped abruptly, turned around and looked at Shangguan Feixue who was chasing him. He pretended to be angry and said, "Shangguan Feixue, are you done yet? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

What responded to him was a shocking sword energy that was a hundred feet long. The sword force was so tremendous, and the powerful sword intent and sword power caused the martial artists in the city below to burst into an uproar.

"Isn't this Ye... Emperor Nanhai!?"

"Oh my god, who is that female cultivator? She actually forced the Emperor of the South Sea to flee!!"

"Tsk tsk! What a powerful sword!!"

"..."

Obviously, many martial artists have recognized Ye Xuan. With Ye Xuan's strong return to suppress the Qian family, he became famous in one battle and became the Emperor of the South China Sea. Now countless young talents in Nanzhou admire him, and many of his portraits are circulating in Nanzhou. It is hard not to recognize him.

Ye Xuan had a headache and smiled bitterly. Why did he give her up for no reason? He faced the sword that was coming to chop him on the head.

He stretched out his right hand, dense scales appeared on his palm, and he grabbed upwards.

"Crack!" The powerful and sharp sword energy of a hundred feet was directly crushed by his palm in front of the astonished eyes of the warriors below.

"Hiss~~~!" There was a sound of people sucking in a breath of cold air in the city.

"Amazing! Is this the fighting power of the King of Nanzhou? He is so powerful!!"

"As expected of my idol, he can catch the sword energy with his bare hands!"

"Tsk tsk, why do I feel like the situation is a little weird?"

In the city below, some veteran warriors looked at Ye Xuan and Shangguan Feixue, who were facing each other in the sky, with strange expressions on their faces.

Shangguan Feixue frowned slightly as she saw that her sword, which she had been preparing to strike, could not cause any trouble to Ye Xuan. She pursed her lips slightly, feeling even more helpless.

Once upon a time, Ye Xuan was not her opponent, but now...

Ye Xuan retracted his palm, and the scales disappeared into his skin. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I really didn't mean it. How do you want me to apologize? Please tell me."

Shangguan Feixue bit her lips slightly, looked at Ye Xuan silently for a long time, and suddenly turned and left.

What was not intentional, what did you do to me after waking up.

Shangguan Feixue reunited with the women who had followed him and returned to Wolong Island.

Ye Xuan let out a light breath, smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was suddenly stunned and took out a jade slip from the ring to read.

"It was actually that guy Wujie who was looking for me." After reading the jade slip, Ye Xuan muttered to himself, then flew towards the sky.

He was not worried about the girls and let them go back to Wolong Island first. In this Nanzhou, with their cultivation level, basically no one could hurt them. What's more, the girls all had jade slips for communicating with him. If anything happened, they could just send a message and he would be able to teleport to them immediately.

Seeing Ye Xuan flying away, the warriors under the city couldn't help but show disappointment. They thought they could see something interesting.

With Ye Xuan's current speed of escape, it didn't take long before he arrived at the peak of a mountain range.

Ye Xuan took a glance from a distance and found a young monk in a snow-white monk robe, looking elegant and graceful, standing on the peak of the mountain.

Seeing Ye Xuan coming, he clasped his hands together and smiled gently.

If it’s not Wujie, then who else could it be?

“I’m really ashamed. I haven’t seen you for a few years and your cultivation has greatly improved. When I saw you being chased before, I wanted to help you or stop that female cultivator, but unfortunately, my current speed of escape is really incapable of catching up…” Wujie said with a smile.

Ye Xuan landed in front of him, and he saw through Wujie's cultivation at a glance. He was at the peak of the ninth level of the Martial Emperor Realm. Although his advancement was not slow in the Northern Territory, the gap between him and Ye Xuan was indeed too big.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and clasped his fists, "Brother Wujie..."

Wujie interrupted Ye Xuan and said with a smile, "I am now the abbot and have completely converted to Buddhism. This time I am here on behalf of my temple. I hope you can help my temple with something."

As he spoke, he handed Ye Xuan a jade slip.

Ye Xuan looked at Wujie strangely, always feeling that his smile was a little bitter.

After reading the jade slip, Ye Xuan frowned slightly and said, "So your Golden Dragon Temple was once a great Buddhist temple in the Spirit Realm. Do you want me to find the Dragon Subduing Buddha Staff in the ancient battlefield?"

Wujie nodded, sighed softly, and said, "It's a pity that my Jinlong Temple was once the holy sect of Buddhism and Taoism in Tianwu Continent. However, due to a war in ancient times, countless monks died. Later, my temple moved to the Southern Province of the Northern Region. In the great war between good and evil a few years ago, my temple encountered a disaster again. Only I and a few fellow disciples survived."

Ye Xuan frowned, and after a brief silence, he said, "Brother Wujie, you don't have to be too sad. During this trip to the ancient battlefield, I will try to retrieve the Golden Dragon Temple's treasure, the Dragon-Subduing Buddha Staff. Then the Golden Dragon Temple will regain its glory."

If it were someone else, Ye Xuan might not agree, but Wujie and he were friends for life and death, and he had helped him many times when his cultivation was low.

In the ancient war, all the monks of the Golden Dragon Temple died for the Tianwu Continent, which led to the decline of this holy temple. Compared with other sects and ancient clans, the Golden Dragon Temple is truly selfless.

"The ancient battlefield is very dangerous. Not only will strong men from the Tianwu Continent enter it, but also strong men from other continents. Ye Xuan, you don't have to force it." Wujie said.

Ye Xuan nodded, "I will do my best to retrieve the Dragon Subduing Buddha Staff."

Just as Wujie said, the trip to the ancient battlefield was a big challenge for Ye Xuan, as the strong men and geniuses from the sixteen continents gathered there.

Not to mention those powerful elders, just those geniuses, Ye Xuan really doubted whether there would be any existences in other continents with more ferocious fighting power than him.
