Chapter 2834

As Guo Xuefei approached the peak, the ground exploded. Thousands of enormous, bluish-green wind blades shot out from the ground, hurtling directly towards her.

Guo Xuefei reacted quickly. With a flick of her sleeve, a command flag shimmering with white light shot out, landing in her hand. She gently waved it, conjuring gusts of cold wind. Numerous white snowflakes flew out, dancing in the wind and transforming into white ice swords, which met the enormous wind blades.

A series of booming explosions erupted. The white ice swords were shattered by the dense onslaught of enormous wind blades. The concentrated wind blades attacked from all directions, seemingly intent on shredding Guo Xuefei to pieces.

A dazzling white spiritual light emanated from Guo Xuefei's body, encompassing an area of a hundred zhang around her.

When the huge wind blades touched the white spiritual light, they became stuck as if in a quagmire, unable to move, and rapidly froze into ice blades.

Wang Xiangrong appeared, his face expressionless.

"The Wang family!" Guo Xuefei's expression darkened. The last thing she wanted was to confront a Wang family disciple.

Wang family disciples were skilled in controlling puppet beasts. Furthermore, elite disciples of the Wang family also mastered a troublesome technique called the Divine Suppression Roar.

Without further ado, Guo Xuefei formed a hand seal. A giant ethereal female figure materialized high in the sky. With a raise of its right hand, countless white snowflakes drifted down from above. After a blur, they transformed into white ice spears, each about a zhang long, and shot directly towards Wang Xiangrong.

Guo Xuefei (likely typo, original text says Guo Xueya) raised her right hand. A two-toned golden and red jade shuttle flew out. Its surface pulsed with golden electric arcs and red flames, emanating a wild aura.

She formed a hand seal, and the shuttle emitted a blinding spiritual light. A crackling sound of thunder echoed, and it vanished.

The next moment, a spiritual light flared above Wang Xiangrong's head, and the golden and red jade shuttle reappeared.

The jade shuttle unleashed countless golden electric arcs and red flames, heading straight for Wang Xiangrong.

A dazzling green light emanated from Wang Xiangrong's body, accompanied by fierce gusts of wind. A massive green tornado shot skyward, scattering the golden electric arcs and red flames as if autumn winds swept fallen leaves. Explosions echoed incessantly, and energy waves surged.

Wang Xiangrong activated his Dharma Idol to battle Guo Xuefei. For a while, neither could gain an advantage over the other.

On the mountaintop stood an expansive manor. Within it was a spiritual field, about an acre in size, with dark, granular soil that was crystalline and translucent, as if made of spirit jade.

At the center of the spiritual field was a golden tree, over a hundred zhang tall, with lush foliage and shimmering golden leaves. Its main trunk bore nine mysterious, naturally formed patterns.

Wang Liangyan stood before the golden tree, her expression filled with excitement.

Numerous restrictions remained in the spiritual herb garden. She had accidentally triggered a restriction, causing too much commotion and attracting Guo Xuefei.

She had to remove the Nine-Origin Profound Wood quickly; prolonged delay would be troublesome.

"Divine Sigh Soil, Nine-Origin Profound Wood!" Wang Liangyan murmured to herself. Divine Sigh Soil was one of the Ten Great Divine Soils; it could automatically absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, allowing spirit fruit trees and herbs to grow normally even if formations stopped operating.

The Beigong family had managed to acquire so much Divine Sigh Soil, even if it was for cultivating the Nine-Origin Profound Wood.

She first stepped forward, took out a golden jade bottle, and collected the Nine-Origin Nectar flowing from the roots of the Nine-Origin Profound Wood. Then, she summoned the Hundred Spirits Pagoda, imbued it with a hand seal, and the pagoda instantly expanded, flying above the Nine-Origin Profound Wood. It then spewed a sheet of green light, covering the entire spiritual field.

The Nine-Origin Profound Wood was one of the Ten Great Divine Woods. Transplanting such a rare spirit tree was not easy; if too many roots were damaged, it would wither and die after being moved.

The Wang family possessed a considerable amount of Divine Creation Water, so it was better to be cautious.

Wang Liangyan took out a short ruler shimmering with green light. She imbued it with a hand seal, and the green ruler emitted a dazzling green light. It landed in the spiritual soil, instantly rooted and sprouted, transforming into a small green tree. The tree grew rapidly, becoming a hundred-zhang-tall colossal tree in less than three breaths.

At the foot of the mountain, Guo Xueqing and another person were controlling a formation to attack the Great Golden-Backed Ape. Without Guo Xuefei's significant assistance, they struggled. The Great Golden-Backed Ape activated its Dharma Idol to attack the formation.

Muffled thuds sounded. The red light barrier swayed slightly, and the ground began to move with it.

Guo Xueqing frowned deeply. The two of them were barely able to contain the Great Golden-Backed Ape with the formation. If only one person controlled it, the ape would quickly break free.

Guo Xuefei was entangled with Wang Xiangrong and could not break free.

A pained, agonizing female scream rang out as a blinding green light flared high in the sky, sending Guo Xuefei flying backward.

She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face pale. A terrifying bloody hole was on her left shoulder, bleeding profusely.

Her eyes were filled with terror. As a descendant of Guo Yulin, she possessed many treasures. However, the opponent had even more, including a mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. Could it be that the opponent was a core disciple of the Wang family or an avatar of a Body Fusion stage elder?

Wang Xiangrong held a green, shimmering banner in his hand. A lifelike green flying eagle was embroidered on the flag, emanating astonishing spiritual energy.

He gently waved the green banner, and strong winds arose. A piercing whooshing sound came from high above, and hundreds of bluish-green wind dragons materialized, surging towards Guo Xuefei from all directions.

At the same time, Wang Xiangrong activated his Dharma Idol. The humanoid apparition opened its mouth and spat out a beam of green light, which vanished in a flash.

Guo Xuefei's beautiful face changed drastically. She opened her mouth and spat out a snowy-white round pearl. It flew above her head, emitting ten thousand slender white rays of light that covered an area of several li.

When the green tornadoes touched the white light, they instantly froze, turning into white tornadoes.

The green light, upon touching the white light, also froze, becoming immobilized by ice.

Wang Xiangrong's expression turned cold. He formed a hand seal, and the humanoid apparition above his head struck the void with its right hand.

The void above Guo Xuefei's head rippled, and a large, bluish-green hand materialized out of thin air. The surrounding space tightened, and she found it difficult to breathe.

When the green hand touched the white light, the result was the same: it rapidly turned into a white ice hand.

A piercing whooshing sound rang out as a massive, continuously shimmering green blade shot forth, heading directly for Guo Xuefei.

Thousands of reddish ruler-shadows swept in, blocking the massive green blade.

Guo Xueqing and the other person abandoned the formation and came to support Guo Xuefei.

The Great Golden-Backed Ape regained its freedom. Most of its fur was burnt off, leaving it dusty and disheveled, with a smell of scorching emanating from its body.

"The Nine-Origin Profound Wood is secured. Retreat quickly." Wang Liangyan's voice echoed in Wang Xiangrong's ear.

Wang Xiangrong's spiritual sense detected two Void Refinement cultivators flying rapidly towards them.

He no longer hesitated. A brilliant green light erupted from his body, transforming him into a bluish-green tornado that swept away into the distance.

At his speed, even half of the late-stage Void Refinement cultivators wouldn't be able to catch him, let alone the Great Golden-Backed Ape.

With Wang Xiangrong gone, the Great Golden-Backed Ape directed its fury at Guo Xuefei and the other two. The three quickly unleashed their treasures to attack the Great Golden-Backed Ape, and continuous roars filled the air.
