Several years later.
A deafening roar echoed from the Thunder Wasteland Forbidden Zone, and more than a dozen figures sped out from within.
The leading figure was as large as a mountain, filled with a heavy aura.
It continuously flickered and shifted, while the pursuers behind wore fierce expressions. Multicolored Daoist light flowed like a torrential rain, drawing brilliant, deadly rainbows across the sky.
Rumble!
Daoist techniques boomed, stirring up ripples and waves of light.
"Quickly, everyone, join forces with me to set up the formation! Don't let this damned old turtle escape!"
An old man shouted sharply, throwing out a hundred formation flags into the sky, which several cultivators successively caught.
At this moment, the Old Turtle, while rapidly shifting its position, opened its mouth and shouted, "Everyone, don't believe this man! His formation flags are meant to kill you! Quickly throw them away!"
"Hmph, a demonically misleading old turtle!"
The cultivators who caught the formation flags clearly didn't believe its nonsense and immediately activated the flags.
Purple formation patterns spread out, instantly covering a hundred miles.
However, the next second, the cultivators' bodies shook. The purple formation patterns actually spread up their arms, as if a cold thorn were drilling into their brains.
This sudden change occurred simultaneously on several cultivators.
They didn't even have time to retaliate. The moment they activated the formation flags, they instantly lost consciousness.
Their entire bodies stiffened in mid-air, like walking corpses.
"What's going on?"
The cultivators who hadn't grabbed the formation flags quickly retreated, throwing Daoist techniques at the old man at the first opportunity.
The old man laughed loudly, lightly waving the formation flag in his hand, manipulating the cultivators from before to kill the others.
In an instant, blood splattered across the sky. Instead of capturing the Old Turtle, the cultivators began fighting amongst themselves.
The old man had been chasing this Old Turtle for several years, and he had come to an important conclusion: chasing the turtle was a pure waste of time. It was faster to directly plunder the resources of human cultivators.
The Old Turtle's divine abilities were too powerful; how could ordinary cultivators catch up?
Instead of wasting time chasing an unattainable turtle, it was more practical to seize the opportunities and treasures of other cultivators.
It was just that opportunities to strike were hard to find, so he had to cooperate with everyone to chase the Old Turtle.
Finally, at the moment of escaping the Forbidden Zone, he seized the opportunity!
"See? You don't believe me when I tell the truth. You're all too suspicious," the Old Turtle helplessly shook its head. It hadn't told a single lie from beginning to end, but the human race in the cultivation world was inherently suspicious, always assuming it was lying.
They were told not to chase, but they insisted on chasing. They were told not to take the formation flags, but they insisted on taking them.
Their main characteristic was rebelliousness and opposition.
Taking advantage of the internal chaos among the human cultivators, the Old Turtle immediately used its divine abilities to escape towards the outer trading area.
Many cultivators were secretly lurking, and they immediately used Daoist techniques to chase after it.
"Young Master, help! Young Master, help! The Old Turtle is back! A group of people wants to kill the Old Turtle!"
The Old Turtle shouted as it fled, its true energy amplifying its voice like a resounding bell echoing through the heavens and earth. The entire trading area, hundreds of miles away, heard its cries.
Chen Changsheng walked out of the Dao Treasure Pavilion, shaking his head with a smile and saying, "This Old Turtle has finally come out of the Forbidden Zone."
"A disobedient pet should be punished!" Miao Miao waved her fist.
"I'll deal with it later. You guys stay here and watch over the Dao Treasure Pavilion. I'll be right back."
Chen Changsheng took a step, his figure遁入 disappearing into the void.
When he reappeared, his foot was stepping on the Old Turtle's back. His silent appearance startled the Old Turtle's mountain-like body, causing it to tremble violently.
"Young... Young Master!! You've finally come! You scared the Old Turtle to death!"
Fang Yuan smiled obsequiously, his eyes full of surprise and excitement.
Finally, there was salvation! The Young Master was indeed the most reliable!
Chen Changsheng looked at the Old Turtle with a smile and said, "You ran into the Forbidden Zone without saying hello, making me wait for you here for so long, and I still have to come and clean up your mess. Are you confused about who's the boss?"
It was always the demon pet waiting for the master, never the master waiting for the demon pet.
Chi Bingyan held a long sword, standing in the air and speaking.
The Old Turtle proudly raised its head, its face full of arrogance, completely changing its previous embarrassed appearance of fleeing.
Chen Changsheng stood on the Old Turtle's back, smiling and saying, "I am indeed this turtle's master. I am Chen Changsheng, the Pavilion Master of the Dao Treasure Pavilion."
"Since you've left the Forbidden Zone, it means the opportunity contest is over. Please, everyone, withdraw to avoid hurting our harmony."
Chi Bingyan snorted coldly, the sharp sword emitting a freezing light: "What Dao Treasure Pavilion? I've never heard of it. Have your demon pet hand over all its treasures, or you will be buried with it. There's no room for negotiation!"
Buzz!
The surrounding cultivators' bodies surfaced with flowing, colorful light, expressing the same attitude and thoughts.
Opportunity contests were like this.
If they gave you face, there would be so-called unspoken rules, and everyone would disperse after the opportunity contest ended.
If they didn't give you face, they would still kill you without hesitation even after you left the Forbidden Zone.
What Dao Treasure Pavilion Pavilion Master Chen Changsheng? Who the hell are you to have such a big reputation?
The crowd revealed cold smiles, waiting for Chen Changsheng to compromise. It would naturally be best if they didn't have to fight, but if they really had to, it would just take a little more effort.
"Young Master, kill them all! These people are just Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. They're all unreasonable. Otherwise, the Old Turtle wouldn't have been chased so miserably."
"Shut up, you! Just Nascent Soul Stage? How can you, a Golden Core Stage demon beast, say that?" Chen Changsheng said speechlessly.
"Once the Old Turtle goes into seclusion, it can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage..."
The Old Turtle's words were cut short by a strange cry.
Chi Bingyan had already killed her way over with her sword, and the surrounding cultivators simultaneously raised their hands and released Daoist techniques!
The man and beast were leisurely chatting, completely disregarding the others, which infuriated them.
In an instant, a Daoist mask appeared on Chen Changsheng's face, and he raised his hand and snapped his fingers with a 'da' sound.
Phoenix True Fire and Divine Radiance Great Void Lightning simultaneously erupted. The two domains merged, and lightning and fire intertwined to form dragon and phoenix phantoms.
Rumble—
The scorching Daoist energy formed a towering tornado, spreading out from Chen Changsheng as the center.
The Daoist light flowing from all directions instantly dissipated at this moment.
Chi Bingyan, who had killed her way to the front with her sword, abruptly changed her expression. She slashed out with a sword, releasing ice crystal frost. The sword energy spanned nine layers of clouds, and extreme cold descended!
However, the moment the sword energy collided with the lightning and fire, it directly collapsed, shattering like tofu hitting a copper wall and iron barrier.
Chi Bingyan, who was facing the attack, was directly submerged by this domain energy on the spot!
