Chapter 1487: The Power of the Spiritual Treasure Fire Sparrow Fan

At a teahouse, on the second floor, by a street-facing window, a middle-aged man, slender as a bamboo pole, was enjoying tea. His gaze casually drifted across a three-story green pavilion.

A graceful young woman in a purple dress suddenly emerged from the pavilion. Her steps were hurried, as if she was rushing to leave the market.

The middle-aged man quickly pulled out a shimmering green magic disk, input a spell, and made a series of gestures.

Immortal Zi Yue did not linger in the market. She left immediately, transforming into a streak of purple light that shot through the air. After a few flashes, she vanished into the horizon.

Soon after, a man and a woman followed her.

Immortal Zi Yue's escape speed was very swift, as she flew towards the Myriad Ghosts Sea Domain.

An hour later, she appeared in the Myriad Ghosts Sea Domain, where dense Yin energy permeated the surroundings.

“Immortal, please halt. We have something we wish to discuss with you.”

A resonant male voice came from behind, as a golden streak of light pursued her with remarkable speed.

Immortal Zi Yue's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she stopped. Her divine sense detected two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators pursuing her.

She had presented high-grade fourth-tier flood dragon essence blood and beast hide at the trade fair, so it was not surprising that someone had targeted her.

To ensure Immortal Zi Yue's safety, Wang Changsheng had entrusted her with the Sea-Suppressing Ape and a fourth-tier puppet beast. With these, Immortal Zi Yue would not fear, even if a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator made a move.

Soon after, the golden light halted, revealing an ordinary-looking middle-aged man and a medium-built young woman in a blue dress. Both were inconspicuous, making them difficult to spot in a crowd.

The middle-aged man had a palm-sized black gourd tied to his waist, while the young woman in the blue dress wore a blue gourd.

“May I ask, what guidance do the two of you have for me?”

Immortal Zi Yue's tone was cool. The fact that they only greeted her after she had left the market clearly indicated their ill intentions.

“We were wondering if Immortal still possesses any materials from a fourth-tier flood dragon? We are willing to exchange them for…”

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, the calm sea surface suddenly erupted. A black shark, over ten zhang long, leaped out of the water. Its body was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, with several gruesome gashes on its belly. Judging by its aura, it was clearly a high-grade third-tier demonic beast.

“You are courting death.”

Immortal Zi Yue’s expression turned cold. The Sea-Suppressing Ape had been hiding at the bottom of the sea, secretly protecting her. The opponents had deployed a high-grade third-tier spirit beast to lurk beneath the surface, intending to launch a sneak attack, but it had been discovered by the Sea-Suppressing Ape.

An enraged roar erupted from the seabed, as over a dozen watermelon-sized blue lightning orbs shot out, continuously striking the black shark. The shark let out painful roars, and a vast expanse of blue lightning engulfed it.

A hazy blue sonic wave swept forth, quickly passing through the blue lightning. The lightning instantly exploded, scattering a large quantity of bloody flesh.

The middle-aged man manifested the black gourd from his waist. After he cast a spell, the gourd erupted with blinding black light and rapidly expanded in size, spewing out hundreds of head-sized black lightning orbs that hurtled towards Immortal Zi Yue. He then opened his mouth, and a small black banner flew out, instantly growing to several zhang in size. With a gentle shake, fierce winds arose, sweeping forth hundreds of door-sized black wind blades that shot directly at Immortal Zi Yue.

The young woman in the blue dress manifested a blue gourd. After casting a spell, a strange, chilling energy surged out, manifesting as countless white snowflakes that transformed into two-foot-long white ice arrows, which then shot towards Immortal Zi Yue.

Immortal Zi Yue's expression turned cold. With a flick of her jade hand, the Fire Sparrow Fan appeared. She fanned it fiercely, and roaring flames surged forth, transforming into a crimson fire sparrow over a hundred zhang in size. Carrying an overwhelming wave of heat, it flew forward to meet the incoming attacks.

Boom!

A deafening roar reverberated as the black lightning orbs and white ice arrows collided with the crimson fire sparrow, instantly exploding. Black, white, and red spiritual lights intertwined in the void, and a powerful wave of air rapidly swept across the sea, causing the surface to explode and send up a vast spray of waves.

The flames intensified and the crimson fire sparrow's size dramatically increased. The black lightning and white cold energy suddenly dissipated, and the crimson fire sparrow continued directly towards the middle-aged man and the young woman in the blue dress.

“A Spirit Treasure!”

The middle-aged man was greatly startled, his eyes now burning with fervent desire.

No wonder she dared to leave the market alone; it turned out she possessed a Spirit Treasure.

The young woman in the blue dress altered her spell. The blue gourd sprayed out a vast expanse of frigid white wind, which coalesced into a white wind python over ten zhang long that lunged towards the crimson fire sparrow.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the white wind python dissipated and vanished after just one clash, while the crimson fire sparrow continued its assault towards the pair.

A rumbling thunderclap sounded as hundreds of black lightning orbs shot forth, striking the crimson fire sparrow one after another. A burst of black lightning erupted, intertwining with the crimson flames. Soon after, both forces completely dissipated.

Immortal Zi Yue beamed with delight, highly satisfied with the Spirit Treasure's power. This was merely a Spirit Treasure; had it been a Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, she estimated it could have annihilated her opponents in a single move.

Deafening thunder erupted above the heads of the middle-aged man and the young woman in the blue dress. A massive blue thundercloud, a thousand zhang wide, appeared high in the sky, crackling with lightning and thundering, as silver bolts danced wildly.

An enraged beast roar echoed from the seabed, and the ocean surface erupted once more. Ripples spread outwards, inciting towering waves over a hundred zhang high, as fierce winds began to howl.

Boom!

A blue water column, over ten zhang in diameter, shot skyward, heading directly for the middle-aged man and the young woman in the blue dress. Concurrently, the thundercloud churned violently like a tide, and head-sized silver lightning orbs flew out from within, striking towards the pair.

At the same time, an even larger crimson fire sparrow swept towards them from the opposite direction.

The middle-aged man flinched in alarm and quickly manifested a small, shimmering black umbrella. It instantly expanded, providing cover above their heads. A barrage of dense silver lightning orbs rained down, striking the black umbrella. A dazzling silver lightning engulfed the umbrella, but thankfully, none of the orbs landed on them.

The young woman in the blue dress manifested a shimmering blue short ruler. She waved it towards the sea, and with a rumbling sound, the ocean surface suddenly churned, raising waves hundreds of zhang high. A towering blue water wall, also hundreds of zhang high, materialized out of thin air, stretching horizontally across the sea. The blue gourd then emitted a blast of strange, frigid energy, causing the blue water wall to instantly freeze and transform into a massive ice wall.

Boom!

The crimson fire sparrow crashed into the white ice wall, which instantly shattered, erupting into a cloud of white mist.

The black gourd unleashed a dazzling black light, which transformed into a black lightning spear over thirty zhang long. It struck the blue water column.

The blue water column, as fragile as thin paper, was split in two by the black lightning spear. The spear then exploded, causing the water column to dissipate into countless splashing droplets of seawater.

All of Immortal Zi Yue's and the Sea-Suppressing Ape's attacks were neutralized by their opponents. This was unavoidable, as her cultivation technique leaned towards support abilities, meaning her innate divine powers were not formidable, and she had to rely on external items.
