Chapter 854: Chapter 854 Soul-locking Lamp

Ji Rong didn’t speak with a low posture when she said this.

The Rainbow Gown Divine Sect naturally could not compare with the Fang Family. If the Fang Family was determined to eradicate the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, then the sect was undoubtedly doomed.

The Fang Family wouldn’t even need to use all their power—just the Holy Dao Practitioners the Fang Family Patriarch brought with him this time could completely crush the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect. However, it was inevitable that a significant number of the Fang Family’s ten Holy Dao would also suffer losses.

Ji Rong gauged that the Fang Family Patriarch would not act so recklessly. If Fang Jie was indeed killed by someone from the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, then it would be a different matter entirely; fearing such a case, the Fang Family would likely, despite the cost, eradicate the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect.

Ji Rong’s judgment was relatively accurate. Although the Fang Family Patriarch was angry at the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, he indeed had no intention of completely destroying them from the start.

After Ji Rong finished speaking, the Fang Family Patriarch’s gaze flickered, and he believed most of her words.

After all, if Jing Yan was not strong enough, there was certainly no reason for Ji Rong to let him go. Killing someone within the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, especially the Second Sect Master, would strike a severe blow to their reputation. That is to say, Ji Rong likely didn’t have the confidence to detain Jing Yan, which forced her to let him leave.

”Elder Sect Master Ji Rong, where exactly did the great battle that day take place?” the Fang Family Patriarch shifted the conversation.

”What do you mean by that, Patriarch Fang?” Ji Rong, sensing something was amiss, immediately asked.

”Hmph, have you ever heard of a Soul-locking Lamp?” Fang Family Patriarch sneered softly.

”What? A Soul-locking Lamp?” Upon hearing this, Ji Rong’s heart jolted, and her face slightly changed.

”You need not guess blindly anymore; indeed, my Fang Family has acquired a Soul-locking Lamp, and I have brought it with me this time. Now, take me to the site of the fierce battle that day. I can operate the Soul-locking Lamp to find the hidings place of the bastard who killed my son!” the Fang Family Patriarch said with a cold laugh.

The Soul-locking Lamp is a unique Holy Artifact.

Controlling the Soul-locking Lamp can lock onto the Divine Soul Aura of a martial artist. Even if the locked martial artist leaves, they can still be tracked through the Soul-locking Lamp.

During that day’s battle, Jing Yan and numerous Holy Dao Practitioners would have inevitably left some Divine Soul Aura here. With this remnant Divine Soul Aura, the Fang Family Patriarch would be able to find Jing Yan’s whereabouts.

Of course, if too much time had passed, then the Soul-locking Lamp would be useless.

But since only half a month had passed, the Soul-locking Lamp could almost certainly lock onto Jing Yan’s Divine Soul.

”Was it at Rainbow Peak?” the eyes of the Fang Family Patriarch moved.

”The site of the fierce battle that day was indeed at Rainbow Peak!” Ji Rong confirmed solemnly.

”Hurry, take me there!” the Fang Family Patriarch urged.

Ji Rong hesitated!

Rainbow Peak is the core of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, and the Rainbow Divine Bridge is hidden within Rainbow Peak. If they allowed the Fang Family members to enter Rainbow Peak and they suddenly attacked, it would be much easier than breaking in from the outside.

Now that they were outside Rainbow Peak, it would cost the Fang Family members much more to try and breach it.

”Elder Sect Master Ji Rong, you need not worry about anything. I can tell you clearly that, although I am enraged at the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, I do not intend to destroy it. If I really wanted to eradicate the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, do you think I would waste so much time talking with you here?” the Fang Family Patriarch, also aware of why Ji Rong was hesitant, spoke bluntly.

”Very well! Patriarch Fang, please follow me. However, you can only enter Rainbow Peak by yourself; the other Daoists from the Fang Family must wait outside,” Ji Rong glanced at the other Fang Family members.

Ji Rong really had no choice but to agree to the request of the Fang Family Patriarch!

”Agreed!” the Fang Family Patriarch responded without hesitation.

Fang Family Patriarch entered Rainbow Peak for a moment before turning back.

”Patriarch, have you locked onto Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Aura?” another Fang Family Holy Dao Practitioner asked.

”Yes, I’ve successfully locked onto that bastard’s Divine Soul. Now, let us depart!” Fang Family Patriarch’s Primordial Energy surged forth as he took the lead and flew out.

The other nine Fang Family Holy Dao also followed closely behind, pushing their flying speeds to the limit.

”This bastard is quite cunning, actually running to the Buffer Zone of Despair Abyss! Hmph, does he think he can relax completely once he’s in the Buffer Zone?” The Fang Family members entered the Buffer Zone from the Tianxia Divine Domain.

The Fang Family Holy Dao continued the pursuit.

”Patriarch, Jing Yan went to the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect for Saintess Bai Xue. It is said that Saintess Bai Xue comes from the Heavenly Origin Continent. Could Jing Yan be planning to take Saintess Bai Xue to the Heavenly Origin Continent? If they really did go to the Heavenly Origin Continent, should we continue the chase? I fear the Guardian of the Sky Sacred Hall might intervene in this matter!” one Fang Family Holy Dao remarked.

”Jing Yan is also of the Saint Realm. According to the agreement signed back then, Human Saint Realm Martial Artists need to leave the Human Territory. Divine Race Saint Realm Practitioners are not allowed to enter the Human Territory. If that bastard went to the Heavenly Origin Continent, how could the Guardian allow him to stay there?” Fang Family Patriarch’s lips curled up.

”Moreover, I sense that bastard is in the Buffer Zone, not far from here!” Fang Family Patriarch sensed for a moment with the black Soul-locking Lamp in his hand before continuing.

...

Qian Kun Small World!

Jing Yan was talking with Bai Xue, planning to enter the Death Temple. He intended to first send Bai Xue to the Heavenly Origin Continent, then head to the Death Temple himself. However, Bai Xue wanted to go with Jing Yan to check it out.

Just then.

”Hm?” Jing Yan’s expression slightly changed.

”Not good! Bai Xue, stay inside the Qian Kun Small World, I’ll go out for a bit!” Jing Yan’s words hadn’t finished when his figure had already disappeared from in front of Bai Xue.

He didn’t have time to explain to Bai Xue.

Ten robust aura fluctuations were already appearing within dozens of miles. Clearly, ten Holy Dao Practitioners were rapidly approaching his position.

Jing Yan certainly didn’t think the sudden appearance of ten Holy Dao Martial Artists was a coincidence.

There was a ninety percent chance that these Holy Dao Practitioners were coming for him.

How fast are Holy Dao Practitioners?

A distance of dozens of miles could be traversed in the time it takes to breathe.

Jing Yan had just come out from the Qian Kun Small World and could already see ten figures appearing within his line of sight.

”Damn it!”

”How could these people track me down here? How did they know I am here?” Jing Yan clenched his teeth as his thoughts raced.

”Little bastard, see where you can run now!” The Fang Family members had also spotted Jing Yan. Fang Family Patriarch let out a roar, put away the Soul-locking Lamp, and a scythe-like weapon was presented, driven by Primordial Energy.

The scythe-like weapon was wreathed in a black sword light, which instantly condensed and struck toward Jing Yan.

A terrifying aura enveloped the heavens and the earth, and a dreadful aura of death instantly locked onto Jing Yan.
