The black mist on Xunyang’s Clone’s hand instantly morphed into a claw, shooting towards Li Yanyan’s neck in the blink of an eye.
Li Yanyan was so scared that her calves trembled uncontrollably. Her knees buckled, and she sank to the ground. Fortunately, she couldn’t speak at that mont; otherwise, she would probably be wailing for rcy.
Seeing Li Yanyan’s reaction, the onlookers couldn’t help but glance at Xiaosuisui a few more tis.
The National Master sighed inwardly. What a pity, I clearly chose the wrong Disciple due to my own lack of skill.
Sighs and regrets aside, there was no saving his young Disciple’s life now. Just as Xunyang’s Clone’s tendril was about to touch Li Yanyan’s neck, another silver thread shot out from the National Master’s hand, and simultaneously, a yellow Talisman appeared.
The Talisman spontaneously burst into flas, flying straight for the face of Xunyang’s Clone!
Xunyang’s Clone sensed the danger and quickly retracted its hand to defend itself.
Afraid of fire? Xiaosuisui’s eyes lit up. She imdiately thought of the Great Phoenix and how a single burst of its Phoenix Fire on Wangwu Mountain had incinerated the Clone of a Great Wizard!
However, looking at the Great Phoenix, currently trapped in a net woven from green vines, it was clear they needed to find a way to rescue it before it could incinerate this foe.
With this in mind, Xiaosuisui whispered sothing into Ji Youzhi’s ear.
Ji Youzhi’s eyes widened as he looked at her, a smile playing on his lips.
"No problem, just watch your Seventh Uncle."
No one noticed the little secret between the uncle and niece. The National Master was too busy dealing with Xunyang’s Clone. From the mont the National Master began producing one Talisman after another, which ignited without any external fla and surrounded the Clone, Xunyang’s Clone dared not be distracted.
Thus, Xunyang’s Clone had no idea what Xiaosuisui and Ji Youzhi were plotting at this very mont.
"So, you do have things you fear. As expected, those who defy nature are inherently sinister. Therefore, things of righteousness are your bane! So what if you have the Cultivation of an Immortal? Since ancient tis, evil has never triumphed over righteousness!"
Seeing his gamble pay off, the National Master’s spirits lifted considerably, and he began to taunt Xunyang—or rather, Xunyang himself through the Clone.
"HA HA HA HA! A re firefly daring to compete with the sun and moon? Yes, my Clone fears Spirit Fire, so what? The Spirit Fire on your fire Talismans is far too weak to harm !"
"Correct! The Spirit Fire on my Talismans is indeed weak. However, I, the National Master, have plenty of Talismans. If you retreat obediently today, I might spare your life. But if you insist on your misguided path, then this place shall be your grave today!"
The National Master spoke with great confidence, entirely devoid of fear. He kept glancing up at the sky, his fingers rapidly making calculations.
"Hmph! Even if you have many of these Talismans, they will eventually run out. I refuse to believe your supply of Talismans is endless!"
Xunyang saw at a glance that Feng Wushang’s Talismans had been drawn hastily overnight.
Although Xunyang cultivated Witchcraft, he also understood so Daoist techniques. Drawing these Talismans was ntally and physically exhausting, and consud a great deal of Spiritual Power.
Given Feng Wushang’s current Power, he couldn’t have produced many Talismans.
His Clone was indeed afraid of being burned by Spirit Fire, but this particular Clone possessed an indestructible body.
Even if these Talismans burned it for one or two hours, they wouldn’t cause significant damage.
Once these Talismans burned out, it would be his turn to send these people on their way to the afterlife!
Xunyang’s plan was sound, yet he had miscalculated one thing. While Feng Wushang had fumbled in calculating the Lucky Star’s whereabouts, his ability to divine fortune and misfortune was unmatched, the pinnacle of the divination world!
"You’re right, I don’t have many Talismans left—only six. These were the ones I rushed to prepare a few days ago when I foresaw your arrival. Once these six Talismans are consud, I’ll have no other ans to stop you!"
As the National Master said this, he deployed all six Talismans in his hand. They seamlessly took the place of the previous ones surrounding Xunyang’s Clone the very mont those turned to ash.
Hearing this, Xunyang was overjoyed. "Only six left? Excellent! HA HA HA! These six Talismans will burn out in no more than seven or eight minutes. I can certainly wait that long!"
Once Xunyang confird that the National Master, Feng Wushang, had indeed used his last six fire Talismans, he couldn’t help but beco visibly excited.
Everyone’s expression changed. The Emperor turned to Ji Youzhi and Dugu Xiao, saying, "Later, we must each find a chance to escape down the mountain. You two must protect my precious daughter and ensure she returns safely to the capital!"
Dugu Xiao was aghast. "Your Majesty, I swear I will die protecting you and ensuring your safe return to the capital!"
The Emperor rebuked him, "Who asked you to protect ? I want you to protect the Princess! She carries the Celestial Dao’s Qi. As long as she lives, I believe that no matter who becos the Emperor of Great Han in the future, they will be able to protect the lands and people of our Great Han!"
From start to finish, the Emperor believed that Xiaosuisui possessed the Celestial Dao’s Qi, a force that could safeguard the peace and stability of their world!
"Your Majesty!" Dugu Xiao was reluctant. He was a General of Great Han and a subject of the Emperor. How could he abandon his monarch in a ti of crisis to protect a commoner Princess while she fled?
"This is my command, an Imperial Decree! If you disobey, you are defying the decree!" the Emperor shouted at Dugu Xiao.
Dugu Xiao hesitated. The National Master beside them also exclaid, "Your Majesty!"
The Emperor turned to the National Master, gritted his teeth, and said with great solemnity, "National Master, say no more. You must also be aware of Suisui’s special nature and importance. If today, here on Yunhang Gufeng, only one of us—she or I—can survive, then I choose for Suisui to live! A person who carries great Qi is far more valuable than I!"
