Chapter 1642: Chapter 1639: Loyalty to the Sect
Li Yang gritted her teeth and, in the end, still summoned the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner and the Mixed Element Bell.
As soon as the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner appeared, a terrifying Soul Capturing Power instantly swept out. On that black banner, countless ferocious faces surfaced, letting out shrill, miserable howls, as if they wanted to suck a person’s soul clean away.
The Mixed Element Bell, meanwhile, radiated a faint golden light, hanging in mid-air and emitting one muffled peal after another, shaking one’s Divine Soul till it quivered.
"Yang Fei, I’m sorry." Li Yang said in a low voice, a trace of apology flashing in her eyes.
Yang Fei was trapped inside the light shield of the Immortal Trapping Talisman. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but grow so furious he laughed: "Fine, very fine! So this is the Flame Moon Sect’s sect doctrine? Not only are you adept at planting spies in other sects, but when it comes to betraying your own sect, you feel not the slightest shame. If Senior Li Shuya knew he’d cultivated traitors like you, he’d probably be so enraged he’d vomit blood!"
Xiao Yue sneered: "So what if Li Shuya finds out? By the time he comes back, we’ll already have taken you and fled far away to defect to the Wangxian Sect. By then, with Wangxian Sect powerhouses sheltering us and the Shang Qing Sect in decline, what could he possibly do to me?"
Yang Fei took a deep breath, knowing that since the other side had taken this step, it was impossible for them to change their minds and let him go.
At this moment, he was pinned down by the Fourth Rank Immortal Trapping Talisman, and Li Yang at the side was also a Middle stage Core Formation expert. On top of that, she had those two great Magic Treasures, the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner and the Mixed Element Bell. It was impossible for him to fight head-on; he could only rely on the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl to escape back to Earth.
Thinking of the dire situation over at the Shang Qing Sect, and that he wanted to go there yet was being blocked, Yang Fei could not help feeling incomparably stifled.
Still too weak!
He made up his mind on the spot, intending to, while his Divine Sense had not yet been completely bound and he could still communicate with the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl, tunnel back to Earth to save his life—when his pupils suddenly shrank.
He saw that Li Yang, who had just summoned two powerful Magic Treasures, had originally been facing his side, seemingly about to strike at him. But all of a sudden, she abruptly turned around, swinging the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner in her hand and hurling it viciously at True Monarch Xiao Yue.
"You unfilial disciple, how dare you!"
True Monarch Xiao Yue flew into a rage, crying out in shock!
Yang Fei was stunned.
Immediately after, he keenly sensed that the Fourth Rank Immortal Trapping Talisman pinning him down rippled slightly, because True Monarch Xiao Yue’s Mana—used to suppress it—had loosened for a moment.
Now.
Yang Fei precisely seized this fleeting opportunity, uttering the awkward, archaic syllables of runic incantations, and used Talisman Teleportation to escape the restraints of that Immortal Trapping Talisman.
"Go, now!"
Li Yang shouted loudly to Yang Fei.
True Monarch Xiao Yue was furious to the extreme.
Never in her wildest dreams had she thought that the disciple she had painstakingly cultivated would actually betray her at the crucial moment.
The Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner and the Mixed Element Bell were both Supreme Treasures of the Flame Moon Sect. Years ago, when Li Yang took first place in the sect’s grand competition, Li Shuya, acting as arbiter, had awarded these two Magic Treasures to Li Yang as her prize.
Relying on these two Magic Treasures, Li Yang’s Combat Power among cultivators of the same Realm was of a Unique Tier. In the Southern South Domain Cultivation World, even cultivators whose Realm was slightly higher than hers didn’t dare provoke her lightly.
Though Xiao Yue was Li Yang’s master and her Realm far surpassed Li Yang’s, she had never imagined that her beloved disciple would launch a sneak attack at the critical moment.
Moreover, with the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner being fully unleashed by Li Yang, its Soul Capturing effect was such that even an Early stage Nascent Soul would find it hard to resist. At this moment, Xiao Yue was fully focused on activating the Fourth Rank Immortal Trapping Talisman to suppress Yang Fei; being ambushed like this, she was greatly disrupted and almost fell under its sway.
However, Xiao Yue was, after all, a Late-stage Nascent Soul Master. Even when ambushed by her beloved disciple, she still managed to retreat intact and quickly steadied her footing.
Hearing Li Yang shout for Yang Fei to flee, Xiao Yue was even more incensed. A cold light flashed in her eyes as she flipped her right hand; a Magic Sword flew out, slashing straight toward Li Yang.
Li Yang had long since summoned the Mixed Element Bell. Facing this sword from her master, she had originally intended to dodge, but the strike of a Late-stage Nascent Soul Master was simply too fast. She had no time to evade and could only take it head-on.
"Boom!"
The Magic Sword was like a streak of flowing light as it fiercely stabbed into the Mixed Element Bell.
The Mixed Element Bell erupted with a burst of golden light; its powerful defensive ability blocked this wrathful sword strike from Xiao Yue.
Yet the massive Mixed Element Bell was still knocked flying through the air.
Li Yang, who was controlling the Mixed Element Bell, turned slightly pale, suffering a considerable backlash.
Though Xiao Yue raged at Li Yang’s betrayal, most of her state of mind was still focused on Yang Fei, afraid that he would escape.
If Yang Fei were allowed to flee, then even if she defected to the Wangxian Sect, though they would gladly accept her, she would no longer have a major bargaining chip in hand. Her status in the Wangxian Sect would not be that high, and on top of that she would bear the infamy of betraying her sect, making it even less likely for the Wangxian Sect to truly trust her.
The reason she chose to betray her sect today was precisely for a better future, so capturing Yang Fei was what mattered most.
Thus, while she slashed at Li Yang in anger, Xiao Yue also unleashed her powerful Divine Sense in a furious strike, blasting it toward Yang Fei.
She was afraid Yang Fei would seize the chance to bolt.
However, how could Yang Fei be willing to run?
After so many years in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, he had indeed learned to endure and understood the principle that as long as Qingshan remains, one need not fear for firewood. Yet the pride and hot blood in his bones had never truly cooled.
Seeing Li Yang dare to strike at Xiao Yue in order to protect him, how could he possibly abandon her?
Besides, he believed that when facing a Late-stage Nascent Soul Master, his current self was not entirely without the strength to clash head-on.
Thus, as Xiao Yue’s Divine Sense assault came crashing in, the Soul Binding Rope in Yang Fei’s hand produced a warning. He immediately guarded his own state of mind, while simultaneously swinging the Soul Binding Rope with all his might.
"Snap!"
The silver whip cracked sharply through the void, sending ripples of terrifying Soul Capturing Pressure surging forth, striking straight at Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue’s state of mind swayed; she felt her Sea of Consciousness loosen and her Divine Sense destabilize, and she couldn’t help feeling secretly shocked.
This brat’s Magic Treasure was truly overbearing—far stronger than the Flame Moon Sect’s Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner by who knew how much.
But if victory could be decided by Magic Treasures alone, then why would anyone bother with Cultivation?
This brat, at merely Late stage Core Formation, wanted to rely on a Magic Treasure to clash head-on with her—simply courting death.
Xiao Yue was not angered but delighted; as long as this brat didn’t rush to run, that was fine.
She formed a spell seal with her hand; that Magic Sword turned into a streak of flowing light, arriving in an instant, stabbing toward Yang Fei’s front.
Yang Fei’s heart was gripped with shock.
What a fast sword!
This was his first time directly clashing with a Late-stage Nascent Soul Master. He hadn’t expected that a casually controlled Magic Sword from the other side would already possess such terrifying speed and Power.
So this is the chasm of Realm?
There was no time to think in detail. The only thing Yang Fei could do was to Instant Teleport away.
However, just as he Instant Teleported and flickered into the distant void, his scalp went numb again.
Xiao Yue’s powerful Divine Sense was like a GPS positioning system, locking onto him with precision. Not only that, the Magic Sword followed him like a shadow, shooting toward his body.
Too fast!
The Divine Sense of a Late-stage Nascent Soul Master was too strong. Although he could use Talisman Teleportation to Instant Teleport over short distances, Nascent Soul Stage Powerhouses had already, to a certain extent, comprehended some of the Space Law and could directly Instant Teleport over short ranges. Thus, this sort of teleportation of his was far too easy for them to see through, allowing them to discern its path and lock onto him accurately.
One had to know, when he fought True Monarch Cang Yuan back then, the latter had already been able to pinpoint every landing spot after each of his teleports. Now, True Monarch Xiao Yue was a Late-stage Nascent Soul Master, and although Yang Fei was no longer what he used to be, the massive gap in Realm was laid bare between them; the disparity between the two was still obvious at a glance.
Whoosh!
The wind howled and cranes cried; terrifying Soul Capturing Pressure swept across heaven and earth.
Li Yang once again swung the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner, striking toward Xiao Yue.
