I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 184 Stirring Up Trouble

"I've captured this person and am preparing to study him thoroughly."

The woman in black phoenix palace attire, surnamed Xiao, suddenly asked with a hint of ill intent, "Captured? So, the divine blood of the Spirit Clan is also in your hands?"

Xiao Wuji glanced at the woman sideways, then said with a disdainful look, "What? You little rascal, you think you can snatch something from me?"

Upon hearing this, the woman in palace attire's expression turned cold, and she said with a livid face, "Human, are you insulting my Black Phoenix Clan?"

"Insult? A bunch of scruffy birds dare to challenge us?"

Xiao Wuji's palm circulated with the power of the Five Elements Magnetic Force. He turned around and looked at the woman in palace attire, saying, "You surround my cave and still want my things? Do you really think I, Fang Han, have a good temper?"

The form he's currently assuming is already different from his original body, precisely to prevent anyone from associating him with the real thing. Now, he's even casually given the guise of Old Demon Fang. After all, he can't travel through the Three Realms and Seven Lands without an alias!
He deliberately provoked this war because he discovered that the Black Phoenix Clan's flames seemed quite formidable, making them a race that enjoys "eating" things!

Isn't the fastest way to cultivate immortality and worldly supernatural powers simply by "eating"?

However, given that the relationship between the high-ranking members of the human and demon races in this world is quite good, a suitable reason is needed if one wants to have a big meal.

"Fang Han, you're asking for it!!"

Being insulted repeatedly is something even a woman in palace attire with the best self-control would find unbearable.

Before the woman in palace attire could finish speaking, she suddenly spat out a feather wreathed in black flames, which shot straight at Xiao Wuji's face like an arrow.

Seeing the gray light swirling in his palm, Xiao Wuji reached out and grabbed it, actually catching the gray light directly in his palm.

Xiao Wuji rubbed his hands together on the arrow fletching, and the Crimson Emperor Fire Qi circulated, instantly devouring all the black flames on the fletching. Having lost the source of the black flames, the arrow fletching lost its spirituality, and no matter how the woman in palace attire called out to it, she could not recall it.

"You want it? Here you go!"

A golden light flashed at Xiao Wuji's fingertips, and he activated the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash. The black feather shot towards the woman in palace attire with lightning speed, so fast that no one present except Xiao Wuji could see its trajectory.

"Wow!!"

A frantic, heightened sense of warning caused the woman in palace attire to instantly revert to her original form without a second thought. The next moment, she felt a chill beneath her groin.

Looking at this awkward position, Xiao Wuji laughed somewhat unkindly. He had originally aimed at the black phoenix's head, but unexpectedly, it suddenly transformed into its original form, and its size instantly increased significantly. Now, the position between its legs was exactly where its head had been.

"Hahaha, your Black Phoenix Clan is quite interesting. It's a pity you're female and don't have the bloodline of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, otherwise I could have severed your third leg today!"

"Wow!"

Enraged, the black phoenix unleashed a torrent of black flames, which, with a flap of its wings, created a fiery storm that swept towards Xiao Wuji.

Seeing this, Xiao Wuji took a step forward, and his figure vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already above the black phoenix's head. Then, he clapped his hands, and a small, gray mountain emitted a gray light, pressing down on the black phoenix.

The Nine Palaces Divine Movement Technique of the Feathered Ascension Sect allows him to teleport short distances in the void. Although it cannot match the distance of his Void Eyes, it can be used instantly.

As the gray light swept across, the black flames immediately stopped flickering. The Yuan Magnetic Divine Light was specifically designed to counter the power of the five elements, and this black flame was no exception.

As the Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain crashed down, the Black Phoenix let out a shrill scream. The weight of this Primordial Magnetic Divine Mountain was in no way inferior to some magical treasures like seals.

"stop!!"

Seeing Xiao Wuji easily suppress the Black Phoenix, the three-headed silver wolf of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan did not choose to protect itself. Instead, it merged its three bodies into its original form and pounced on Xiao Wuji. However, Xiao Wuji used the Great Severing Technique to casually cut it in two.

Upon seeing the jet-black, jagged patterns, the Blue City Lord's pupils constricted. If he still couldn't recognize this person at this moment, he would be practically blind. So the ruthless individual who had triggered half a month of heavenly tribulations was called "Fang Han." Having learned this person's identity, the Blue City Lord quickly suppressed his inner turmoil and then telepathically instructed the cultivators behind him not to entertain any inappropriate thoughts.

After sealing the Black Phoenix with a backhand, Xiao Wuji then slashed out with a palm behind him. Black serrations suddenly appeared, and a gaunt figure appeared in the direction the serrations passed through.

This person was none other than a Void Refinement cultivator from the Qiongshu clan. However, even he had to retreat in the face of this slash. The black saw teeth could even sever his divine sense. Just a sweep of his divine sense caused him unbearable pain.

Suddenly, his steps faltered, and his figure transformed into a streak of silver light, grazing the colorful serrated edges as he flew away.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Wuji's mind stirred, and countless dense black serrations appeared around him.

"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy—"

A white-robed man flew in from afar and, seeing this, quickly called out to stop it. This was a ruthless individual who had prolonged his tribulation for over half a month, managing to make his minor tribulation many times more powerful than his major tribulation. It was truly astounding—

With some people trying to dissuade him, Xiao Wuji stopped his supernatural powers at the right moment, glanced at the person flying towards him, and said, "It's you? I saw you before!"

Seeing that Xiao Wuji had withdrawn his supernatural power, Huangliang Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief. Although the supernatural power was not aimed at him, it was still quite frightening.

"It's been many years, and you still possess the same charm as before. It's a pity you left too hastily after your tribulation. I've long wanted to befriend you..."

Huang Lianglingjun's words were full of flattery, which left Huan Tianqi, who thought he knew his "old friend" very well, speechless.

Although he was quite pleased with Huang Lianglingjun's words, Xiao Wuji still said with a straight face, "Enough with the flattery. I don't care why you're here in my seclusion today, but now that the Spirit Clan member is in my hands, there's no reason for me to hand him over."

"If you want to take something from me, Xiao Wuji would be more qualified. You are not!"

"If you want to fight me, then you'd better be prepared to leave your life behind!"

Although Lord Lan and the others did not know who Xiao Wuji was, that did not stop them from thinking that he was very powerful. After all, how could someone who could snatch something from such a ruthless person be weak?

Upon hearing this, Huang Lianglingjun also began to protect himself. He dared not fight such a guy; the gap between them was simply too great.

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. We are overjoyed that you helped us annihilate the alien race."

"Exterminate alien races? So those guys aren't your people anymore?"

After saying that, Xiao Wuji casually unleashed a powerful slashing technique towards the cliff face at the entrance of Chaos Valley. Everyone looked over and saw a red streak of light suddenly disappear below the cliff.

The jet-black saw blades sliced ​​across, cutting off a huge chunk of the mountain from its dark surface. Then, with undiminished momentum, it continued to cleave several more mountains before finally falling silent.

Forced out of his hiding place by Xiao Wuji, Xu Tianxuanling dared not linger. Not to mention this human whose strength was unknown, he was not confident of winning even against the combined forces of the human and demon races. It was already a stroke of luck that he was able to escape successfully in this situation.

Seeing the spirit of the artifact race, Xuanling, flee in a cloud of blood, Xiao Wuji chased after it without a second thought.

Using the Nine Palaces Divine Speed ​​Technique, he vanished into the void and caught up with the enemy in a few flashes.

"Did I let you go?"

Golden sword energy tore through the blood clouds, and the Crimson Emperor's Fire Emperor Qi transformed into a giant fiery hand, reaching out to grab Xu Tian Xuan Ling within the blood clouds.
