Chapter 1329: Spiritual Land Key?
The person who appeared suddenly was the Emperor Realm expert from the Yin Ming Sect, Ju Chun the old ghost, whom Zhou Yu had encountered when he entered the Pill God Temple that day.
This person was frightened away by Venerable Hong back then.
Unexpectedly, today he teamed up with Han Mofeng and the other two.
This person is an Emperor Realm Martial Artist, and Zhou Yu wasn't arrogant enough to think he could handle an Emperor Realm expert.
At this moment, Zhou Yu's face was solemn, nerves tense, his protective body cultivation technique fully operational, always ready to act with full force.
After Zhu Yuanming was saved by Ju Chun the old ghost, he was full of resentment and said eagerly:
"Senior Ju Chun, please kill this boy quickly."
"As soon as you kill him, I'll hand over the key to the Ancient Spirit Land to you immediately."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu was suddenly taken aback.
The key to the Ancient Spirit Land?
Previously, at the Gong Family, when he obtained the Golden Demon Blade, the Gong Family had produced a Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc, which was a key to the Ancient Spirit Land.
This key to the Ancient Spirit Land has a total of four pieces.
The Yellow Heavenly Spirit Disc was just one of them. Later, Zhou Yu handed it over to the Gong Family for safekeeping to control them.
He planned to search for the remaining three keys elsewhere.
However, some time has passed.
There was no news about the remaining three keys.
Unexpectedly, today, he got a clue about the other keys from Zhu Yuanming's mouth.
It seems Zhu Yuanming and his group used this key to make a deal with Ju Chun the old ghost.
These thoughts flashed through Zhou Yu's mind.
But right now, Zhou Yu couldn't think of anything else.
He was facing a life-and-death crisis, and whether he could escape from Ju Chun the old ghost was still unknown.
Upon hearing Zhu Yuanming's words, Ju Chun the old ghost didn't hesitate, instantly fixing his gaze on Zhou Yu, not hiding his murderous intent at all.
"Boy, last time you managed to escape, consider it your lucky day."
"Today, I will tear you to pieces."
As he spoke, Ju Chun the old ghost struck directly, his formidable martial arts will transformed into a giant blade, heading straight for Zhou Yu's head.
At this moment, Zhou Yu only felt an overwhelming power of heaven and earth pressing down on him.
The Golden Cauldron Technique of the Eight Cauldrons Realm, like an indestructible shield against King Realm martial artists, became paper-thin before an Emperor Realm expert.
His Protective Golden Cauldron almost instantly collapsed.
Zhou Yu was shocked in his heart. He didn't hesitate to take out the ninth-grade pill medicine he had requested from the Hall Master, preparing to fight for his life.
However, at this moment, a cold snort was heard.
"Hmph, an Emperor Realm, attacking a child, truly brings disgrace to the Emperor Realm."
As the words fell, an elder behind Zhou Yu made his move.
With a casual punch, he shattered the martial arts will hovering over Zhou Yu's head.
The next moment, Zhou Yu regained his freedom of movement.
At the same time, the elder's voice was heard.
"Zhou Yu, step back, protect the young lady, I'll handle this shameless old man."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu didn't hesitate to use the Mountains and Rivers Step to retreat swiftly.
The expression on Ju Chun the old ghost's face darkened, his gaze coldly fixing on the elder who suddenly appeared, a flash of uncertainty passing through his eyes.
He had received information that Zhou Yu had been expelled by the Pill God Temple Master without any expert protection, which is why he dared to enter the Pill God Temple again to assassinate Zhou Yu without scruples.
But now, there appeared an Emperor Realm expert.
Moreover, he had hidden his aura so well that Ju Chun hadn't detected it at all just now.
This was enough to indicate the old man's formidable strength.
Ju Chun the old ghost said gloomily:
"You don't seem to be an expert from the Pill God Temple, do you?"
The elder replied indifferently:
"I, Nian Zhong of the Shen Family in the Capital City, am not one to change names recklessly."
"Shen Family of the Capital City?" Ju Chun the old ghost's face turned grim.
Then, he softened his tone and said.
"I am from the Yin Ming Sect and have no grievances with the Shen Family. My purpose here today is for this boy alone."
"You can take the Shen Family people and leave, I will not obstruct you."
Upon hearing this, the elder laughed heartily.
"So it's the treacherous old thing from the Yin Ming Sect, no wonder your behavior is so sneaky."
"Let me make it clear, this boy Zhou Yu is indebted to my Shen Family. Today, I will definitely protect him."
"I advise you, retreat immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite."
The elder didn't regard Ju Chun the old ghost at all, reprimanding him mercilessly in return.
Being yelled at like this by the elder, Ju Chun the old ghost's face immediately turned extremely grim.
"Good, very good."
"Since the Shen Family insists on intervening, then prepare to die!"
As soon as Ju Chun the old ghost finished speaking, a Bone Whip appeared in his hand, lashing toward the elder.
The moment the Bone Whip streaked through the void, the space vibrated.
The power of heaven and earth surged violently, instantly forming a sharp giant wave crashing down on the elder.
Seeing this situation, the elder sneered, flipping his palm, violent True Qi erupted, instantly transforming into a torrent of massive stones, blasting forth.
The elder's True Qi turned out to be the rare Crack Earth Attribute True Qi.
Not only did it have the heaviness of the Earth Attribute, but it also carried a tinge of the Fire Attribute's ferocity.
Their confrontation, with just one exchange, instantly caused mountains to crumble and ground to shatter.
Zhou Yu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately grabbed Luoluo and Shen Yin, rapidly retreating to a distant safe location.
In just a few seconds, Ju Chun the old ghost and the elder had battled from the ground to the sky.
Witnessing their fight escalating to an intense phase.
Zhou Yu's gaze suddenly shifted towards Zhu Yuanming, who was hiding in another corner.
Feeling Zhou Yu's gaze, Zhu Yuanming's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly retreated.
Zhou Yu, however, revealed a cold smile.
"Trying to escape!"
"Stay here."
Saying that, Zhou Yu's figure flashed, heading towards Zhu Yuanming.
Though Ju Chun the old ghost was engaged in a battle with the elder, he was keenly aware of the situation below.
Seeing Zhou Yu chasing after Zhu Yuanming, Ju Chun the old ghost let out an angry roar.
"Rong Fang, what are you waiting for?"
"Quickly make a move, kill this boy!"
