Chapter 136 Nightmare Qi Devours Souls, Hidden Yuan Crisis, Elder Quan Reveals Secret, Witch Intervenes [Two-in-One]

To be fair, Beishan Ming and Langgan are quite strong.

They are at least much stronger in combat than the cultivators of Hundred Flowers Valley.

This is a heartfelt evaluation from the Nan siblings.

"If it were us, we probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer. It's truly remarkable that they've managed to persevere until now."

Watching the scales of victory tip in the battle, Nanrensong couldn't help but sigh.

Then he looked at his sister and said, "Now that we've seen the excitement, it's already this late. Guangbai probably won't be coming. If we don't leave now, we might get caught and it'll be our turn."

"That's...okay!"

Nan Lianzhu glanced around but found nothing, so he could only sigh and agree.

The flying boat, hidden in the clouds, immediately turned around, accelerated, and prepared to fly away from this place.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of light passed right past them, and the parting clouds and the resulting waves nearly capsized their flying boat.

Tang Hao, who was speeding past, glanced back in surprise: 'There were two familiar auras on that flying boat just now; they seemed to be the Nan siblings?'

The flying boat, a magical artifact, was flying at full speed, exceeding 500 kilometers per hour. His Foundation Establishment stage divine sense could barely control it.

The other party's flying boat happened to be on the route he had chosen. If he hadn't adjusted his direction slightly at the critical moment, that small, broken spirit-grade boat would have been smashed to pieces.

The Nan siblings were also quite frightened: "Do you even know how to sail a boat?"

They muttered a curse under their breath and looked over, still shaken.

Clad in black and red robes, their faces covered by black masks, surrounded by nine jade-faced beauties—this image was all too familiar to them.

"Yan Ming?" Noticing the figure on the flying boat, Nan Liansong was taken aback. 'My sister was right; he really did come here.'

Nan Lianzhu was also furious, but upon seeing this figure, his anger vanished instantly.

"The magic weapon flying boat can be controlled at full speed and can also avoid obstacles in time. Yanming's reaction is really fast."

Upon hearing this, Nan Liansong rolled his eyes. Wasn't it you who was cursing earlier?

"Brother, brother, brother, hurry up and go!" Nan Lianzhu praised and urged his brother to follow.

"understood!"

Reluctantly, they turned the boat around and followed the other side's route.

As soon as we drove out of the sea of ​​clouds, the shouts of the mountains echoed from afar.

"Master Yanming has arrived!"

The expressions of both siblings changed.

The difference was that Nan Liansong's brows were furrowed.

They felt that this behavior was really too arrogant, as the battle group on Moon Spring Island had nearly twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Nan Lianzhu's eyes, however, shone brightly.

When Lu Xiu was being interrogated, he told her about Yan Ming's entrance, and she thought he was a bit arrogant at the time.

But now that I'm here, for some reason, I find him inexplicably handsome.

The magical flying boat descended, instantly shattering the battle and separating the two sides.

On Moon Spring Island, everyone was on high alert.

"Master?"

"The newcomers must be reinforcements for the enemy!"

"Of course. Langgan is now clearly a master of pleasure, and these two, being from the same sect, might be here to help him."

During the battle, Langgan used all her skills, including her signature cheerful demeanor and the Jade Human Skin Drum, which naturally led to her being recognized.

"What should we do? Escape?"

"Why are you running away? Do you want to be picked off one by one?"

"In my opinion, let's wait and see."

"That's right. The other party arrived, but did not make a move immediately, presumably out of consideration for the friendship between us who belong to the same demonic sect."

Some of the cultivators who had helped out only then realized what was happening.

"That's right. Whether it's the Master or the Lord of the Hehuan Sect, or the Quan family under the Yaoyue Sect, aren't they all demonic cultivators? How come they're so greedy and got involved?"

There was no joy in escaping death on the other side.

Looking at Langgan with a questioning gaze, Beishan Ming received a response equally full of confusion.

Upon seeing this, he quickly sent a message asking, "Weren't these the reinforcements you invited?"

"No, this is the first time I've ever heard of Yanming," Langgan replied telepathically, shaking his head.

As she surveyed the figure on the flying boat, she was slightly startled: 'I don't know this person's cultivation level, but those three pairs of triplets with jade-like faces are all nearly as strong as me.'

While she had far more Foundation Establishment cultivators than her opponents, their quality was far superior to that of her mutated cultivators.

"What should we do then?" Upon hearing this, Kitayama Miki's heart pounded with anxiety.

Lang Gan felt the same way, but simply said, "Let's play it by ear."

Sometimes, encountering a powerful demonic cultivator is far more dangerous than encountering a celestial cultivator.

She was prepared to abandon all her handsome male concubines, hoping to buy herself some time.

Compared to the two sides that are in a lower position.

The Nan siblings' flying boat was at a similar height to Tang Hao's, so they could naturally see the situation more clearly.

Furthermore, Nan Lianzhuo considers himself to be at least a friend of Yanming.

They are more inclined to watch the spectacle.

"Huh? Isn't that the witch who stormed the merchant ship? Why is she with Yan Ming?"

She immediately noticed the two conspicuous figures: "And there's also that young Taoist boy who knows Tang Hao but whose identity is unknown."

"Speaking of which, it seems I haven't seen Tang Hao since that fleeting glimpse on the merchant ship," Nan Lianzhu suddenly remembered.

Then a thought struck him: 'Hiss, the witch and the Taoist boy are mixed up together, could he have already been harmed by these two?'

"What are you thinking about?" Noticing his younger sister's changing expression, Nan Liansong glanced at her inexplicably and couldn't help but ask.

Nan Lianzhu then came to her senses and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing."

"I'm warning you, we absolutely must not get involved."

Nan Liansong had just given his sister a serious warning when she retorted, "With their lineup, what do we need to do? Let's just watch the show."

Under the watchful eyes of all parties.

Tang Hao walked slowly to the side of the ship, his gaze lowered, looking down.

"Why is the Quan family of Yuequan Island besieging my sect leader, Huan-zhu?"

The person in charge of the Quan family here was a clan elder at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. He stood out from the crowd, his expression slightly arrogant.

He snorted coldly and said, "Young man from the Hehuan Sect, you are so young, yet you don't even disembark from your flying boat when you see a senior. Speaking to me in such a condescending manner is quite impolite, isn't it?"

The old man didn't answer the questions; he just started attacking.

"Tch...etiquette?" Tang Hao looked down at the old man.

He scoffed dismissively, "When has our Demonic Sect ever cared about such things? Stop acting like an old man."

Having just learned the origin of the Nightmare Aura, he knew the Quan family was no benevolent group, and his words were anything but polite.

"You impudent brat, how dare you..." The elder's beard and hair stood on end, his expression one of extreme anger.

Given his age and condition, there is a slight possibility that he could form a Golden Core if given the right opportunity.

His status within the clan was extraordinary; even members of the Moon Worship Cult treated him with utmost respect.

Unexpectedly, this obviously young Master of the Joyful Union Sect dared to treat him so disrespectfully.

Before he could finish speaking, Yao Guang, who was standing next to Tang Hao, waved his hand.

She interrupted him in a sweet voice, saying, "My master is asking you a question. If you don't want to suffer physical pain, I advise you to answer honestly." The old man was absolutely furious. This master was rude, and his subordinate, Jade Face Makeup, was even more so.

"What right do you have to speak here, you lowly servant? Die!" He actually conjured a magical hand and grabbed at Yao Guang.

"How brave!"

Yao Guang was not afraid of him at all, and threw a punch from afar, instantly shattering him.

Then, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to jump off the flying boat to get to him, but of course, she looked at her young master before acting, asking for his permission with her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Tang Hao grinned, revealing a chilling smile.

If he had cooperated, he would have simply put on a show and then sent the people from Moon Spring Island away.

But since the old man was so tactless, he didn't mind letting everyone stretch their arms and legs.

He immediately waved his hand and ordered, "Take down the others, and hand this old man over to me."

"Slave, you obey!"

Apart from Yin Yuan still standing behind them, the other eight women immediately obeyed the order and jumped off the flying boat like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The surging energy and magical power emanating from them immediately terrified the two groups of people below.

The elder of the Quan family was also shocked: 'They are all at the late Foundation Establishment stage! How is this possible? When did such a Master appear on the Desolate Sea?'

'To catch the thief, first catch the king. He only has one person with a jade-faced face left, and judging from her appearance, she was infected with [Nightmare Qi] during her spiritual departure from her body in the cemetery. So she is not a threat.' His mind raced.

The next moment, his figure flashed, and he made a fierce attack.

"Well done!"

Tang Hao flicked his wrist slightly, and the [Blood Eye Heart-Piercing Chain] slid off his wrist, hovering at the Niwan point between his eyebrows and slowly rotating.

With a surge of his magic, the blood-red eyes within the beads of his bracelet opened simultaneously, radiating spiritual light.

A blurred "third eye" condensed at the center.

"Blood-red eyes peering into the heart?" The Quan family elder, who had already arrived outside the flying boat, exclaimed in shock upon seeing this.

The old man never expected that the other party would dare to use such methods against him.

The Hehuan Master often uses this method to bewitch and control female cultivators.

It's not that we can't fight the enemy, but the risk is too great.

Once broken, it is prone to backlash, and the wielder's consciousness and the treasure may be damaged.

'Unless the opponent is a whole realm higher than me, or the [Blood Eye Heart-Piercing Chain] is of an exceptionally high grade, which is basically impossible.'

These thoughts had barely crossed his mind when the Quan family elder was captivated by the "third eye."

To the onlookers, the old man's body had just paused when he suddenly shuddered violently, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and fell onto the sea.

The Yanming Master, from beginning to end, never moved from his position; he merely used a treasure to cast a spell.

"That's it?" Kitayama Mei couldn't believe it.

He had just fought with the old man, and the old man was much stronger than him.

Only Langgan on our side can match him.

Lang Gan said with a solemn expression, "I can't see through his cultivation level. The [Blood Eye Heart-Piercing Chain] has its treasure light contained, and its grade is also difficult to judge. It may already be a magic weapon."

"magic weapon?"

His face twitched uncontrollably, and a flash of jealousy crossed Beishan Ming's eyes.

'Another magical artifact. Just who is Yan Ming? He actually possesses two magical artifacts. It's a pity that the [Joyful Love Harmony Gu] is ineffective against its master, otherwise…'

He once possessed one as well, a magical artifact bestowed upon him by his family.

Unfortunately, because of what happened back then, he was attacked and his right to use the magic weapon was taken back as soon as he returned to the sect.

As Beishan Ming was overwhelmed with emotion, he suddenly saw Yan Ming looking over following his senses, and he quickly lowered his head guiltily.

'Heh, I wonder what kind of wicked idea this little rascal is up to now.' Tang Hao sneered inwardly as he looked at the fellow.

Then, withdrawing his gaze, he flicked his finger, and the injured and unconscious elder of the Quan family was instantly swept up by the seawater and brought to him.

'This old man is just one step away from forming his core; his deepest desire is to take that step. Tsk tsk.'

'Unfortunately, I only used the water and fire lotus to generate joy; I didn't truly cultivate the "Heart Sutra of Controlling Women," so my control over the [Blood-Eyed Heart-Piercing Chain] is still somewhat sluggish.'

Tang Hao was also affected by the Blood Eye's Heart-Piercing ability, which is why he let the old man fall.

'This method can reflect the desires in a cultivator's heart, and the Master often uses it to gradually seduce female cultivators into depravity.' He gained a deeper understanding of the methods of the [Hehuan Sect].

'If it's merely a reflection without further targeting, the consumption is much less, and the impact on cultivators is negligible. Although it can't be considered an offensive method, it feels more useful.'

'Further activating the [Blood Eye Heart-Piercing Chain] will result in something like what happened to the old man...' Tang Hao's mind stirred, and he poured a large amount of ice water over the other person's head.

"Cough cough cough..."

The elder of the Quan family choked on the water and woke up coughing.

He twisted and struggled, but his body was bound by the water rope and he could not break free for a while.

Suddenly, his body trembled: "I... my soul has been damaged? How is this possible? How can I form my core? No, this can't be real."

"You! What a vicious heart you have! I only said a few words, and you have heartlessly ruined my path!" The old man looked at Tang Hao with resentment.

Tang Hao looked speechless, shook his head slightly, and said, "This is the price you paid for your arrogance. Let me ask you..."

This person holds a high position in the Quan family, and presumably their understanding of [Nightmare Aura] is even greater than that of Hua Guigui.

At this point, most of the Quan family's troops had lost their fighting ability; those who remained were either barely surviving or fleeing for their lives.

He was too lazy to pretend anymore and question the leader of the attack on Huanzhu. He planned to ask about the method to remove the Nightmare Qi.

The question had only just begun and hadn't even been asked yet.

The old man interrupted him with a cold laugh.

“You ignorant brat, how dare you ruin my path and save a traitor from my Quan family? You are now at odds with my Quan family and the [Inviting Moon Sect] to the death.”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Yin Yuan behind Tang Hao.

Her voice was filled with venomous curses as she said, "You late-stage Foundation Establishment maid, you're the interest you're paying for offending us!"

"In just a short while, the Nightmare Qi will devour her consciousness completely. Even if an immortal were to descend to earth, they would not be able to save her then." He laughed maniacally.

Tang Hao's heart stirred, and he sneered, "Ignorant old man, who are you trying to scare? My friend knows the method of removal. If he hadn't met you, he would have already removed the Nightmare Qi by now."

As he spoke, he gestured to Hua Guigui, who was not far away.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." The Quan family elder twisted on the ground.

He glared at Hua Guigui with a ferocious expression: "Her? She's just a greenhorn, what could she possibly know?"

Hua Guigui's aura was completely concealed, making it impossible to tell that he was a powerful cultivator.

The old man unleashed a flurry of attacks, instantly igniting a murderous glint in the witch's eyes: "You fool, I'll kill you!"

'We can't let her kill us.' Tang Hao quickly channeled his magic power.

The airship raised a separate protective shield, protecting the old man inside.

The sudden burst of power from Hua Guigui startled the Quan family elder, who then let out a cold laugh.

"Even if you know, you still can't get rid of this [Nightmare Aura]."

A triumphant smile flashed in Tang Hao's eyes as he said disdainfully, "Once you know it, you can definitely cure it. It's just [Nightmare Qi]. Do you think you need some kind of elixir or divine medicine?"

"Hahahaha...I'm dying of laughter." Seemingly having lost the path to Core Formation, the old man had no desire to live anymore and was frantically mocking those who courted death.

His expression was one of manic smugness, filled with the pleasure of revenge: "What you need, you can't have, at least not now."

"Want to know?"

"Don't worry! I'll tell you right away."

"That is……"

Hua Guigui, who was still watching the spectacle with amusement, suddenly changed her expression upon hearing this and jumped up and down in a panic.

"You can't say that!"
