Chapter 4332: Great Victory

Wang Changsheng's fist smashed towards the ape. Before the ape could evade, a powerful restraining force emerged. Unable to evade, it could only swing its right fist to meet the attack.

The two fists collided with a deafening boom. A black halo swept out from Wang Changsheng's fist, quickly passing over the ape's body. The ape let out an extremely painful roar, its body trembling continuously. Since advancing to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, it had fought many Taiyi Golden Immortals, but had never been in such a sorry state. This was mainly because none of its previous opponents had mastered the Law of Soul; no matter how strong its physical body was, it could not withstand it.

A giant blue palm flew towards it, striking the ape's body. The ape's body fell. Its soul sea showed numerous cracks, on the verge of collapsing.

“Hurry, I can't stop them! Let the Chahar Tribe avenge me,” the ape shouted loudly, swinging its right fist towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng showed no fear, fully unleashing the Law of Soul, and punched out, colliding with the ape's right fist. With an earth-shattering roar, a powerful shockwave swept out, creating numerous cracks in the void wherever it passed. A blinding black light erupted from Wang Changsheng's fist, quickly sweeping over the ape's body. This blow was like the final straw, causing the ape's soul sea to collapse and its soul to be utterly destroyed.

Seizing this opportunity, three eight-colored Chaos Beasts fled in different directions. Nangong Changlong and six others intercepted an eight-colored Chaos Beast that resembled an ape. Wang Ruyan flew out from the city, bearing several bloodstains on her body, though her injuries were not serious. The eight-colored Chaos Beast was blocked by Nangong Changlong's group of seven. It could not break through their defense and was unable to escape. After Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan joined the battle, the eight-colored Chaos Beast quickly perished.

“I never expected Mrs. Wang to also master the Law of Soul! No wonder you dared to infiltrate Zhalanding City,” Nangong Changlong said, filled with admiration. For other early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators, even two of them working together would find it difficult to deal with a seven-colored Chaos Beast, let alone a nine-colored one. Yet, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan teamed up to destroy a nine-colored Chaos Beast—this demonstrated the power of Supreme Laws.

“If Fellow Daoist Wang and Mrs. Wang advance to Grand Luo Golden Immortal and join forces with our ancestor, they should be able to eliminate the High Priest of the Chahar Tribe,” Nangong Changyao said with a smile. It was fortunate that the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple was on their side; if two Chaos Beasts mastering the Law of Soul had appeared in the Chahar Tribe, they would have been in trouble.

“Let's return to Azure Lotus City first and prepare for the Chaos Beasts' counterattack!” Wang Changsheng said. This time, they had only revealed that Wang Ruyan had mastered the Law of Soul; they still had their trump cards: the Body-Melding Art and Daoist spells. The Zhalanding Tribe had already been crippled by them and would not pose a significant threat. Unless something unexpected happened, the Chahar Tribe would certainly retaliate fiercely, and might even change their battle plan.

Nangong Changlong nodded, looking towards Zhalanding City, and said, “The Zhalanding Tribe has a long heritage, so they must have accumulated considerable wealth.”

“We've already acquired them; let's distribute them when we get back!” Wang Changsheng said. While they were jointly dealing with the eight-colored Chaos Beast, Wang Tun Tian and Wang Huanyu had gone to open the Zhalanding Tribe's treasury and had emptied it of all its treasures.

Nangong Changlong and his group of seven had no objections. Given Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's demonstrated strength, they were completely convinced. They left the area, as large numbers of Chaos Beasts burst out of the Zhalanding Mountains and scattered in all directions. By the time they returned to Azure Lotus City, the auction was also about to commence.

Back on Azure Lotus Peak, nine people, including Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Nangong Changlong, and Nangong Changyao, sat in a green stone pavilion. Wang Changsheng took out seven green storage bracelets and distributed them to Nangong Changlong's group of seven, saying, “Fellow Daoists Nangong, these are your shares.”

The Zhalanding Tribe's treasury contained many valuable items: no less than five hundred immortal medicines aged over thirty million years, as well as large quantities of refining materials, talisman-making materials, and formation-arranging materials. There were also considerable amounts of immortal wood, immortal water, and immortal ore, and a batch of primordial stone raw ore. There were two Seven-Star Golden Marrow Divine Crystals and as many as five Nine-Aperture Silver Marrow Crystals. Chaos Beasts didn't understand refining artifacts or elixirs, but pseudo-immortals did. Tribes under the Chahar Tribe also engaged in trade among themselves, collecting rare materials and submitting them to the Chahar Tribe in exchange for sacrificial quotas or other cultivation resources. The Zhalanding Tribe had cultivated a group of pseudo-immortals, mostly at the True Immortal stage, with over a hundred at the Golden Immortal stage. According to the Zhalanding Tribe's battle plan, these pseudo-immortals would have charged ahead as cannon fodder during the attack on Azure Lotus City. However, Wang Changsheng and his group's assault on Zhalanding City disrupted their plans. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan joined forces to deal with the ape, and in doing so, eliminated that group of pseudo-immortals.

Nangong Changlong's group of seven expressed their thanks, took the storage bracelets, and after a quick mental scan, nodded in satisfaction. Wang Changsheng had given them considerable wealth, so this trip was not in vain.

“We still need to return to Heavenly Phoenix City to report,” Nangong Changlong said. “Fellow Daoist Wang, contact us if you need any help.” Nangong Changlong stood up to bid farewell.

“If there's a need, we will certainly ask,” Wang Changsheng said with a clasped-fist salute, standing to see them off.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, Mrs. Wang, please don't bother to see us off. We can go back ourselves,” Nangong Changlong said courteously.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan insisted on seeing them off personally, watching them teleport back to Heavenly Phoenix City before returning to Azure Lotus Peak.

“This time, we owe a lot to the Golden Prismatic Mirror; otherwise, we wouldn't have known the Chaos Beasts' plan,” Wang Ruyan said with a smile. Wang Qingling had taken the Golden Prismatic Mirror to Hada Grassland to eavesdrop on the Hada Tribe's high-ranking members, making it easier for them to prepare for the Chaos Beasts' counterattack.

“I hope the Chahar Tribe will stop here! If the fighting continues, even if we win, our losses will be considerable,” Wang Changsheng said with some worry. “I'm worried that the Chahar Tribe might send Chaos Beasts that have mutated three times to lead the charge; with our current strength, we are simply no match for them.” Even if they used the Body-Melding Art and Daoist spells with their current cultivation, they still couldn't kill a Chaos Beast that had mutated three times.

“I hope so, but if I were a high-ranking member of the Chahar Tribe, I wouldn't give up easily either,” Wang Ruyan said.

“When soldiers come, we will block them; when floods come, we will cover them with earth. Let's refine some treasures and prepare for battle!” Wang Changsheng said. He called Wang Qingbai and gave him some immortal medicines, asking him to refine immortal elixirs. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan each entered a secret chamber to refine artifacts and create talismans.

In the Chahar Mountain Range, a gigantic valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides. Qu was reporting to Xiong that the two eight-colored Chaos Beasts from the Zhalanding Tribe had rushed to other tribes at top speed to report the news.

“What? Heavenly Lute Fairy also mastered the Law of Soul?” Xiong asked, his tone filled with surprise. Immortal Lord Taihao mastering the Law of Soul was already troublesome enough. Now that Heavenly Lute Fairy also mastered it, the Wang family became even more difficult to deal with.

“That's right. The ape died under their combined assault,” Qu said. “I even suspect that other high-ranking members of the Wang family, such as Azure Lotus Sword Sovereign, Hundred Spirits Fairy, and Hegemonic Blade True Lord, also master the Law of Soul.”
