Chapter 2865: Evil Cultist Appears

The Golden Maple Mountain Range acquired its name from the abundant golden maple trees growing there. Golden maple wood, impervious to water and fire, was commonly used to construct houses and pavilions. However, due to excessive logging, few golden maple trees remain in the Golden Maple Mountain Range; most are under five hundred years old and of low value.

A streak of green light appeared on the distant horizon, swiftly flying towards this location.

Soon after, the green light stopped above the Golden Maple Mountain Range. As its radiance dimmed, a green light-shimmering flying boat was revealed, with Wang Shenfeng and two men standing on it.

"Fellow Daoist Li, we're not changing locations again, are we?" Wang Shenfeng frowned, saying this. They had been away from Qingjiao Valley for over two years, constantly changing direction, as if genuinely searching for treasure.

"No, this is where the ancient cultivator's cave dwelling is located," a scrawny, yellow-robed old man said, pointing to the mountain range below.

The golden-robed man performed a hand seal, and the green flying boat swiftly flew deeper into the mountain range.

After a moment, the green flying boat landed in a small valley surrounded on three sides by mountains. The valley was overgrown with weeds, and the ground was littered with broken stones. Not far away, there was a cave entrance several meters in size.

"The ancient cultivator's cave dwelling is inside this cave," the golden-robed man said, pointing to the entrance.

"This is certainly a good place for murder and plunder. You two Daoists have played your cards well!" Wang Shenfeng sneered. Her figure flickered, and she was already a hundred meters away.

The ground beneath her feet suddenly cracked open, and a row of sharp yellow earth spikes burst forth, heading straight for Wang Shenfeng. At the same time, the void rippled, and a large, misty green hand appeared out of thin air, striking towards Wang Shenfeng's head. A desolate wilderness was indeed an ideal place for murder and plunder.

Wang Shenfeng reacted quickly. Countless streams of Yin energy surged from her body, condensing abruptly into a thick black light barrier that protected her entire being.

Numerous yellow earth spikes struck the black light barrier one after another, emitting dull thuds like popping beans. The black light barrier remained motionless. The green hand struck the black light barrier, causing it to tremor slightly.

Wang Shenfeng was at the Mid-Integration Stage, and both the golden-robed man and the yellow-robed old man were also at the Mid-Integration Stage.

The golden-robed man conjured a sword-light-shimmering flying sword whose blade resembled a long serpent. He cast a spell, and the golden flying sword's spiritual light surged, transforming into a golden python over a hundred meters long, which lunged at Wang Shenfeng. Mana Incarnation!

The yellow-robed old man flicked his sleeve, and a large quantity of rice-grain-sized yellow sand particles flew out. Each particle was covered in profound runes, shimmering with spiritual light. These yellow sand particles collided with each other, emitting a harsh roaring sound. The dense yellow sand particles gathered together, forming a giant, yellow-glowing fist that smashed towards Wang Shenfeng.

Wang Shenfeng conjured a palm-sized black gourd. She cast a spell, and a fierce Yin wind erupted, causing a large expanse of black sand particles to fly out. They abruptly condensed into a thick, waist-sized black giant python, which met the attack.

She opened her lips and spat out a black light-shimmering command banner. After it spun around her once, countless black Yin energies surged forth, forming a tall black wall that shielded her within.

The black giant python and the golden giant python tore at each other, colliding and emitting a roaring sound.

The yellow giant fist struck the black high wall, like hitting cotton, stopping in place. The yellow light of the giant fist flickered continuously, and its spiritual light dimmed.

The golden giant python was no match for the black giant python; its reactions became slower and slower, and its spiritual light gradually dimmed.

Seeing this, the golden-robed man and the yellow-robed old man's expressions darkened. Just as they were about to employ other means, ripples spread overhead, and a colossal, nine-angled black tower appeared out of thin air.

The black giant tower was a hundred meters tall, and its body was inscribed with numerous monstrous patterns.

As soon as the black giant tower appeared, its base emitted a misty black glow that enveloped the golden-robed man and the yellow-robed old man.

Both were greatly alarmed. Just as they were about to evade, a clear bell sound rang out, and their heads felt heavy. By the time they regained consciousness, the black glow had already enveloped their bodies, drawing them into the black giant tower.

Wang Shenfeng cast a spell, and the black giant tower's spiritual light surged, shaking continuously.

As time passed, the black giant tower slowly stopped shaking.

Wang Shenfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to put away her treasure, a whooshing sound echoed. Three streaks of green light flew from the distance at an exceptionally high speed, instantly appearing before her.

Wang Shenfeng was startled. She cast a spell, and the black command banner's spiritual light surged, releasing a large amount of black Yin energy that shrouded her figure.

The three streaks of green light vanished into the black Yin energy, emitting three dull thuds, as if they had collided with a wall of bronze and iron.

Ripples spread above the black energy. A flash of red light, and a large, misty red hand appeared out of thin air. The red hand seemed to be formed from countless crimson flames, emitting terrifying high temperatures.

The red hand, carrying astonishing high temperatures, slammed down. The black Yin energy dispersed one after another, and Wang Shenfeng also vanished.

A chill wind blew through the void several miles away, and Wang Shenfeng reappeared, her expression solemn.

Huang Xian and a young woman in a golden dress flew from the distance, their expressions indifferent.

They had originally intended for the two Integration Stage cultivators to deal with Wang Shenfeng, but unfortunately, those two were too useless and were no match for Wang Shenfeng at all.

"Void Refinement Stage cultivators!" Wang Shenfeng's expression remained unchanged, appearing fearless.

Just as Huang Xian and the young woman in the golden dress were about to move to kill Wang Shenfeng, a powerful gravitational force suddenly appeared from the ground. The void twisted and distorted, and their bodies uncontrollably plummeted towards the ground.

"Oh no, an ambush!" Huang Xian's face changed drastically, his eyes filled with terror.

At this moment, countless blue water vapors emerged, swiftly forming a large, misty blue palm. It exuded an aura of world-shattering destruction, and even before it descended, the surrounding void twisted and distorted.

The blue giant palm struck the protective spiritual light around the two individuals. Their protective spiritual light shattered like bubbles.

With two pained cries, both individuals each spat out a mouthful of vital blood, rapidly falling towards the ground and heavily crashing onto it.

Before they could even catch their breath, countless blue water vapors surged in the void, abruptly condensing into the likeness of Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng's expression was cold, and he held the Phantasmal Moon Treasure Mirror in his hand. The culprits had been able to follow Wang Shenfeng for two years without making a move, but they had finally shown themselves.

"True Monarch Taihao!" Huang Xian was greatly alarmed, terrified out of his wits.

The Phantasmal Moon Treasure Mirror emitted dazzling spiritual light, releasing a stream of colorful radiance that enveloped both of them.

Huang Xian and the young woman in the golden dress felt a dizzying sensation. The environment before them blurred, and they suddenly appeared inside a gloomy grand hall. A pale-faced, beardless young man in black robes sat on the main seat, his expression cold.

"I sent you to capture the Five-Yin Maiden. Have you still not caught her after all this time? Truly useless? It seems I have no need to keep you. I do not tolerate incompetence," the black-robed young man spoke, his tone icy.

"Sect Master, spare my life! Your subordinate is not... no, this is an illusion!" Huang Xian was greatly alarmed.

Wang Changsheng flew and landed in front of them. Dazzling blue light surged from his hands as he placed them on the heads of the young woman in the golden dress and Huang Xian.
