Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 220 Demon-Suppressing Talisman
The atmosphere in Yellow Wind Valley was somewhat somber.

After the defeat at Danshaqiu, the morale of the Yellow Wind Sect was already somewhat low. The death of Black King Kong and the loss of Fengcao Valley made matters worse, making the already demoralized Yellow Wind Sect even more vulnerable. If it weren't for the presence of two powerful figures, Yellow Wind Hermit and Flower Lady, the Yellow Wind Sect would probably have been embroiled in internal strife.

"Master, there have been many problems in the sect recently. Is there anything we should do?"

Looking at Huang Feng Sanren in front of her, Hua Niangzi asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Huang Feng Sanren, looking down over the entire Yellow Wind Valley, remained completely indifferent.

"They're just a rabble, don't bother with them. As long as we kill the Frost Dragon, all problems will be solved. If we can't kill it, all our efforts will be in vain."

Speaking in a low voice, Huang Feng Sanren made his stance clear.

In fact, although he was the leader of the Yellow Wind Sect, he did not really value the Yellow Wind Sect itself. To him, the Yellow Wind Sect was just a tool he used to eliminate the cultivation families in Changfeng County.

According to his original plan, as long as he used the power of the Yellow Wind Sect to purge the cultivation families in Changfeng County, the Yellow Wind Sect would be of little use. At that time, the Yellow Wind Sect cultivators would face the court's extermination and become meritorious figures of the Third Prince's lineage.

At this point, his mission was truly complete, and he handed over a clean and tidy Changfeng County to the Third Prince. Unfortunately, the sudden appearance of the Frost Dragon disrupted his plans.

Upon hearing Huang Feng Sanren's words, Hua Niangzi lowered her gaze and said no more.

“You don’t need to worry. I’ve basically confirmed that Frost Dragon used some kind of secret technique to greatly enhance his strength in a short period of time. This kind of secret technique has a limited duration and has significant side effects. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have let me go so easily last time.”

"With preparation, if I can hold him off again and wait for his secret technique to backfire, I am confident of victory. Moreover, even if I am no match for him, there are still others. The overall situation in Changfeng County will not change."

Sensing the subtle change in Hua Niangzi, Huang Feng Sanren revealed a hidden secret.

Upon hearing this, Lady Hua looked up at Huang Feng Sanren. She understood what Huang Feng Sanren meant; he was probably planning to seek help from the person behind him, which reassured her somewhat.

However, she still didn't know what kind of person could possibly suppress the Frost Dragon. That day, she only used three-tenths of her energy when fighting the Sand Weasel Demon, focusing most of her attention on observing the fight between Huang Feng Sanren and the Frost Dragon.

It was precisely because of this that she clearly knew how strong Frost Flood Dragon's combat power was that day. Originally, Huang Feng Sanren was already strong enough in her mind, but Frost Flood Dragon had an absolute advantage that day. Even if this combat power was really based on secret techniques, it was still terrifying.

"Yes, Master, I will be prepared to subdue the dragon with you."

With a hoarse voice, Hua Niangzi made her stance clear.

Seeing this, Huang Feng Sanren nodded in satisfaction. After Hua Niangzi left, Huang Feng Sanren looked into the distance and fell into deep thought.

Although he appeared calm and collected in front of Lady Hua, the existence of the Frost Dragon put considerable pressure on him. He knew that the best way to suppress and kill the Frost Dragon was to ask a Foundation Establishment cultivator to take action, but that was simply unrealistic.

You should know that, let alone him, even the Third Prince behind him would not find it easy to get a Dao Foundation cultivator to help. Such a person has already reached the top of the Southern Jing Kingdom.

"That Frost Dragon is very strange. It would be quite risky for me to deal with it on my own. The safest way is to find help, but who should I look for..."

His thoughts raced, and Huang Feng Sanren frowned. He racked his brains but couldn't think of a suitable candidate. After all, he was now the leader of the Huang Feng Sect, and many of his previous connections were no longer valid. "It's a pity Lu Yongnian is dead. Otherwise, things would be much simpler. With his strength, if we joined forces, dealing with the Frost Flood Dragon shouldn't be a problem."

Thinking of Lu Yongnian, Huang Feng Sanren couldn't help but sigh. Among the four southern prefectures, Lu Yongnian was the one he was closest to at the Qi Refining Perfection stage, so there was no need for him to hide anything.

"It seems we can only wait for the Xuanjia Army to arrive. The leader is also one of the Third Prince's men. He is quite strong and has the support of the military formation. With his help, we should be able to suppress the Frost Dragon. However, this will make me lose a lot of face in the Third Prince's eyes."

Shaking his head, Huang Feng Sanren stopped thinking about it. Since things had come to this, he could only take it one step at a time. In the end, the Frost Dragon's strength was indeed much greater, and it was no longer something that could be dealt with by ordinary means.

Just as Huang Feng Sanren was thinking about how to deal with Jiang Chen, someone set foot on Yan Hui Island.

"The imperial court has issued an order to quell the rebellion. I wish to quell the chaos in Changfeng County as soon as possible. I wonder if you could lend me a hand? After the matter is accomplished, all the spiritual lands acquired in Changfeng County will belong to you, and I will only take a small amount of wealth."

Inside the living room, Qi Xiuning turned his gaze to Fu Ling Sanren.

Upon hearing this, Fu Ling Sanren, who was enjoying his tea, paused for a moment.

As the prefect, Qi Xiuning's greatest responsibility was to guard Qingyuan Prefecture and ensure its peace. Under normal circumstances, Qi Xiuning would not need to interfere in the affairs of Changfeng Prefecture. However, considering Qi Xiuning's temperament, he could understand it.

"Fellow Daoist is an official of the imperial court, and I understand your desire to quell the rebellion. However, I am merely a free man and have no intention of getting involved in these disputes, so please understand."

Shaking his head, Fu Ling Sanren rejected Qi Xiuning's request. The conditions Qi Xiuning offered were indeed good, but they didn't hold much appeal for him.

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiuning remained unmoved as he looked at Fu Ling Sanren. He had anticipated Fu Ling Sanren's refusal, as it was not his purpose in coming here. Of course, it would be best if Fu Ling Sanren could agree.

"Very well, it was presumptuous of me to be so devoted to cultivation, fellow Daoist."

“I know you have a secret demon-suppressing talisman. Would you be willing to trade one with me? I will exchange it for five Seven Star Spirit Herbs that have been cultivated for a hundred years.”

In a low voice, Qi Xiuning revealed the true purpose of his visit.

This demon-suppressing talisman is a kind of talisman that can restrain demons. Although it is extremely difficult to make, the effect is also very good. Back then, Fu Ling Sanren used the power of this talisman to defeat the demon fox in Wuxian Mountain, allowing it to recuperate for many years.

Upon hearing this and looking at Qi Xiuning, Fu Ling Sanren hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

These Seven Star Spirit Herbs are excellent raw materials for making talismans, and they are quite valuable to him. Moreover, he has some respect for Qi Xiuning, the prefect. Although the prefect is somewhat extreme in some matters, he is still decent to the common people.

"The Demon-Suppressing Talisman—does this prefect intend to deal with the Yellow Wind Sect or the Frost Dragon?"

After completing the transaction, Fu Ling Sanren watched Qi Xiuning's departing figure fall into deep thought.
