Chapter 230 Forcibly Seizing the Dragon Plate, Hidden Dangers in Swordplay

The sword energy swept across the sky, arriving in an instant.

Deep inside the main hall, only the old Taoist priest who was sweeping the floor reacted in time.

However, the other party's long eyebrows twitched, and he only showed a half-smile on his face, showing no intention of intervening.

With a clang, a wisp of sword energy, still intact, struck the three true disciples with precision and ruthlessness.

Unfortunately, although Bai Jiangliu and the others were unable to react in time, each of them had their own protective methods. Dark shadows flashed around them, and spiritual light leaped out, intercepting Yu Que's sword energy.

"you!"

"You, surnamed Yu, how dare you lay a hand on me!"

Bai Jiangliu and the others' expressions changed drastically, looking at Yu Que with disbelief and uncontrollable rage.

After Yu Que unleashed a sword aura, he strode up to the old Taoist priest sweeping the floor without hesitation, bowed to him, and spoke rapidly:
“Old Taoist Master, this item is destined for me, and it is my turn to take it.”

After he finished speaking, he respectfully reached out his hand to ask for the Dragon-Seeking Compass from the other party's hand.

The old Taoist priest smacked his lips, raised his hand and pointed behind Yu Que, saying:
"Those who come first may not get it first. You should completely subdue those three little kids before coming to me to ask for this item."

Seeing that the old Taoist priest was unwilling to let go, Yu Que frowned immediately.

However, he didn't have time to say much to the old man, because behind him, three fierce lights appeared.

Bai Jiangliu and the others were furious and unleashed their skills, joining forces to attack Yu Que.

"If you dare to attack us in the mountains without cause, we can skin you alive today without any harm."

Among them, Bai Jiangliu's voice and demeanor were the coldest.

Yu Que did not try to withstand the three men's angry attack. Instead, he swayed and suddenly appeared behind the old Taoist priest sweeping the floor.

When the old Taoist priest saw Yu Que disappear from his presence, followed by three fierce beams of light rushing towards him, the smug expression on his face instantly froze.

He never expected that Yu Que would be so unethical; he wouldn't give him anything, and this guy dared to use his old bones as a shield.

When Bai Jiangliu and the other two saw that Yu Que had dodged and the old Taoist priest who was sweeping the floor had become his shield, they were all taken aback and immediately tried to switch their spells to chase after Yu Que.

However, due to the haste, the group's movements were not agile enough. Even though they immediately changed direction, the various spells still affected the old Taoist priest who was sweeping the floor.

Seeing this, the old Taoist priest chuckled, then coldly snorted, flicking his sleeves to suppress the fierce looks of Bai Jiangliu and the other two before settling accounts with Yu Que and those three little guys.

"So rash and impulsive!" the old Taoist priest snapped, flicking his sleeve.

But the moment the old Taoist made his move, Yu Que, who was hiding behind the old Taoist, suddenly had a surge of power and his magic power increased dramatically. He actually climbed from the seventh rank to the sixth rank in an instant!
This unexpected turn of events surprised the old Taoist priest even more, and also set off alarm bells for Bai Jiangliu and the others, causing their expressions to change drastically.

In an instant, Yu Que seized the opportunity to make his move.

Upon seeing this, Bai Jiangliu and the other two quickly withdrew their magical power to protect themselves.

However, to the surprise of the four people deep inside the hall, Yu Que's sudden attack was not on Bai Jiangliu and his two companions, but on the old Taoist priest who was sweeping the floor.

He wielded the White Ridge Sword, its light flashing like a bolt of lightning, and swiftly landed on the old Taoist priest's sleeve, deftly and ghostly hooking the Dragon-Seeking Coil.

The old Taoist priest was currently dealing with Bai Jiangliu and his two companions. Moreover, Yu Que was supported by the Dingjia Divine General on both sides, so his magical power was not low. Furthermore, the White Ridge Sword was controlled by the Sword Ghost, so he was not afraid of the old Taoist priest's pressure.

So, in his carelessness, the old Taoist was actually pecked by Yu Que, and the Dragon-Seeking Disc in his hand was snatched away.

This situation made the old Taoist's eyes shrink.

This man was also filled with surprise and doubt. Like Bai Jiangliu and the other two, he had never expected that Yu Que would have such audacity to snatch something from his teacher.

The old Taoist priest's gaze shifted, and he immediately wanted to use his magic to snatch back the Dragon-Seeking Disc.

But in the end, the old Taoist priest who was sweeping the floor still watched as Yu Que took away the dragon-shaped object.

He easily absorbed the spells of Bai Jiangliu and the other two, then turned around and looked at Yu Que, who had succeeded, with a wry smile on his face.

"It seems that the new batch of true disciples recruited by the palace are in no way inferior to the true disciples before the expansion in terms of temperament and personality."

The old Taoist priest thought to himself that this group of true disciples was as unruly as ever.

His gaze swept over Yu Que, waiting to see how this unruly disciple would treat his master next.

"If you bully this old man too much, even if you are a true disciple, I will still hang you up and give you a good beating!" the old sweeping Taoist thought to himself.

His gaze then swept over the Dingjia generals flanking Yu Que, pondering whether he should also give Yu Que a warning if his master came looking for him after he had hung him up.

Fortunately, Yu Que did not become overly proud after obtaining the Dragon Plate.

He stood still, bowed to the old Taoist priest sweeping the floor, and called out:

“Elder Taoist, there are too many disciples in the hall, but only one treasure. I will not trouble you.”

"Thank you for your help, Daoist Master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and leaped out of the hall.

When the old Taoist priest heard Yu Que speak like this, he noticed that Yu Que at least showed some respect for his master and the Dao. So, he gave up the idea of ​​hanging Yu Que up and beating him.

The old Taoist priest stood there, shrugged, and muttered, "You rascal who steals things, don't let me see you again, or I'll beat your monkey head."

"You! Stop right there!"

When Bai Jiangliu and the other two saw that Yu Que had snatched the Dragon Plate and left immediately, they were not only shocked but also furious.

With a whoosh, two of them immediately grabbed their weapons and gave chase.

Another person remained in the hall; he was the true disciple, Yamasa.

The man's expression changed, and he turned to the old Taoist priest sweeping the floor, unwilling to give up, and demanded, "Taoist priest, that fellow snatched the things and left, why didn't you stop him!"

When the old Taoist priest was questioned by Shan Zuo, he merely raised his eyelids and ignored him.

But the old Taoist priest still replied lazily:
"Among the immortals, the heavens and the earth are vast, and their magical power is the greatest."

He was able to subdue all of you with a single sword strike and snatch the item from the old Taoist priest; isn't he the most qualified to take the Dragon Plate?

As soon as the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he picked up his broom and with a light flick, sent the true disciple Shan Zuo flying out of the depths of the main hall.

Yamaza was caught off guard and flew into the main hall outside, where he fell to the ground in full view of everyone.

He was stunned for several moments before he finally got up, and then he heard shouts coming from inside the hall:
"Kid, if you want the treasure, just chase after him and snatch it."

"You are all true disciples; there are few in the palace with a higher seniority than you. What are you complaining about to me?"

Upon hearing this, Yamasa blushed deeply with embarrassment.

The other immortal disciples in the main hall all turned their gazes to Shan Zuo, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

Immediately, Shan Zuo unleashed his full magical power, covered his face, and chased after Yu Que.

After he left, a cacophony of noise erupted in the main hall. Even the immortal disciples inside, who were prepared for a good show, hadn't expected it to be so exciting or to begin so quickly.

the other side.

After forcibly seizing the Dragon-Seeking Compass from the old Taoist priest, Yu Que descended the mountain and then ordered the two guardian deities, Ding and Jia, to carry him, allowing him to walk through the air with an airborne swagger through the Taoist palace.

Behind him, Bai Jiangliu and Shi Lanzhi also leaped into the air, biting him tightly.

However, Bai Shi and his companion were only using magical artifacts or talismans to levitate; unlike Yu Que, they did not have two demonic soldiers under their command.

The two witnessed this scene, and their eyes turned red.

Three years ago, Yu Que was a poor scholar who was disliked by both factions in the palace. Now, three years later, he is so wealthy.

Without much thought, they knew that Yu Que must have gained favor with the Peak Master of Refinement.

Bai Jiangliu and Shi Lanzhi became even more jealous, their faces contorted with rage, and they shouted:
"Hey, you surnamed Yu, if you have the guts, put away your Taoist weapons and fight us in a real battle."

"You brat, don't you dare run away!"

Yu Que sat leisurely on Ding Jia's palanquin. He naturally heard the shouts from the two behind him, but he didn't want to pay any attention to them.

Without even turning his head, he simply urged the two divine generals he had mounted to hurry towards the Refinement Peak.

Now that he has obtained the Dragon-Seeking Disc, he can leave the Dao Palace and travel to other immortal capitals and cities to seek out his own evil energy.

Yu Que originally planned to choose an auspicious day before setting off.

But now that the Dragon Plate has caused some commotion, he can take this opportunity to leave the mountain immediately, so as not to stay in the mountain and get entangled with those three true disciples.

After all, within the Dao Palace, he could fight those three but couldn't kill them; a duel would be quite troublesome and a waste of his energy.

Moreover, now that he has the Dragon Plate in hand, everyone in the palace will know that he is about to condense evil spirits. It's hard to guarantee that some old immortals won't have their eyes on him and try to sabotage him.

Now is the perfect time to leave the mountains and avoid conflict.

Not long after.

Bai Jiangliu and the other man chased after Yu Que for a short while. They saw that Yu Que's speed was getting faster and faster, while their own energy was being greatly depleted. Continuing to chase him would only be a waste of their magical power.

The two of them could only stop in mid-air, unwilling to give up, staring intently at the direction Yu Que had fled.

However, even after they stopped, the anger in their hearts could not be quelled.

With loud shouts, they used their magic to violently pound the nearby mountains and forests, leaving a mess for miles around.

"You brat, you've disturbed my Qi Condensation time and time again! I'll avenge you if I don't!"

"Ahhh, what a flaw! What a peak of refinement!"

hum!
The guardian deities carried Yu Que to the foot of Liandu Peak, immediately withdrew their magic power, and floated to the left and right of Yu Que.

Yu Que no longer flaunted his power; he walked towards the mountaintop.

In just a few breaths, he leaped to the top of Liandu Peak and went straight into the main hall of Liandu Peak.

Yu Que easily slipped into the protective array of the hall and immediately spotted Master Du Mie, who was intently focused in front of the furnace in the hall.

Du Mie bent over, leaning over the alchemy furnace, staring intently into it.

He heard footsteps, and without turning his head, he knew it was Yu Que coming. He quickly greeted him:
"My good disciple, you've come at the perfect time."

Master has started another furnace to test it out. Since you have time to come, why don't you help me keep an eye on the fire again?

Yu Que walked up to the bronze furnace and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master."

He then craned his neck and peered into the bronze furnace.

Inside the Xuanhuang Furnace, ghostly energy formed intricate lines, its malevolent aura overwhelming and terrifying, while divine light shone in countless forms, captivating the soul. It was clear that Master Du Mie was refining something even more powerful.

Yu Que didn't quite understand it, but he could tell at a glance that this batch was not something that could be easily stopped. It was very likely that it would take another three to five years to refine.

So he quickly said, "Reporting to Master, I have come today to bid you farewell."

Upon hearing this, the Peak Master of Refinement paused slightly. He then slowly moved his smoke-filled eyes away from the bronze furnace and looked at Yu Que.

After pondering for a moment, the Refinement Peak Master asked:

"Are you planning to go out and search for evil spirits? Have you prepared all the spiritual creatures? The palace has special evil spirit gathering subsidies for true disciples; have you received them?"

Yu Que immediately took the newly acquired Dragon-Seeking Compass from his sleeve and handed it to the Peak Master of Refinement:

"I just received it, so please help me take a look."

The Peak Master of Refinement Peak nodded, took the Dragon-Seeking Disc, and rubbed it a few times:
"No problem."

However, to avoid any lingering traces of the previous immortal's true energy affecting your use, I will still throw it into the furnace and heat it with earth fire.

Before Yu Que could stop him, the Peak Master of Refinement opened the bronze furnace and threw the dragon plate into it.

The moment the furnace was opened, a wave of intense heat swept through the hall, scorching Yu Que's hair.

He also noticed the ghostly creatures in the bronze furnace, and the sword ghost in his sword embryo jumped, arousing greed in his heart.

Seeing that the Refinement Peak Master had already thrown the Dragon Plate into the bronze furnace, Yu Que didn't want the other party to take it out, as this would further delay the refinement process and waste his master's good intentions.

After exchanging a few more casual words, the master and apprentice in front of the bronze furnace fell silent.

There was no word between them, but the atmosphere was harmonious.

The Peak Master of Refining Du hummed a little tune as he repeatedly heated the Dragon-Seeking Disc in the bronze furnace. Yu Que, on the other hand, circled around, examining the bronze furnace and occasionally clicking his tongue in amazement.

However, Yu Que was actually struggling with his inner thoughts at this moment, and was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Suddenly, he finally spoke:
"Master, I have recently encountered something... Please forgive my disrespect!"

The peak master of the Refinement Peak was slightly taken aback, and looked up at Yu Que in surprise: "What is it? Please speak freely."

Immediately, Yu Que revealed his repeated desire to use the Sword Demon to devour the Dingjia Divine General bestowed upon him by the other party.

After he finished speaking, he realized that since he had already revealed this matter, and the other party was his master and a high-ranking member of the Dao Palace, he simply decided not to hide anything anymore and also revealed the "Taiyin Sword Manual" and other things related to the Sword Ghost.

When the Peak Master of Refinement heard Yu Que's question, he didn't take it seriously at first, and even wanted to scoff at it.

Yu Que actually wanted to use ghosts to devour the Six Ding Six Jia he had refined; who knows who would end up eating whom!

However, after learning more details from Yu Que and discovering that it was related to the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal in the Nine Dragon Waterfall Secret Realm, the Refining Peak Master's expression turned serious, and he no longer found Yu Que's worries laughable.

In the main hall, Yu Que spoke earnestly:

"May I ask, Master, is there anything unusual or hidden danger about me?"
