Shen Lian’s voice spoke to her heart, “Let’s go.”

The voice seemed to have an irresistible charm. After Yang Miaoyun heard it, she could not even have the idea to turn it down and hence she kept walking. Most people in the palace was attracted to the battle. Furthermore, as she was the student of the palace, she could avoid most restrictions. As such, she had no trouble reaching the Hall Master’s residence.

There was a long corridor in front of her. She stopped as the long corridor was set up with the Nine Continuous Rhythms Restriction. She did not know how to break in.

From her body, a puddle of blood and flesh was extended and then turned into Shen Lian. It was a shapeshifting method under Tiangang Thirty-Six Technique. Shen Lian hid underneath her clothes and managed to deceive everyone.

Looking at Shen Lian, Yang Miaoyun displayed affection. Shen Lian sighed and with the swing of his arm, Yang Miaoyun fainted. The reason why she was so obedient to bring her all the way to Fairy Tianmeng’s residence was because Shen Lian had planted the Curse of Love after he spotted the weakness in her heart.

The pre-condition for the Curse of Love to work was for Yang Miaoyun to have some affection for him. Then it would be expanded infinitely, which then turned into love and with that, he could then control the person. Even though it was considered a Daoist technique, if the situation did not call for it, it was not something Shen Lian would like to use.

Even though he felt sorry, he hoped that as time went by, the influence of the curse would be less.

Since Fairy Tianmeng seemed to care about Ruoxi so much, it was only natural for her to keep her by her side. For an ordinary student like Yang Miaoyun to not know anything about Ruoxi further proved his point.

The reincarnation of Yuan Jun and the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu were none of his concern. He only wanted to bring Ruoxi out of this place.

The Nine Continuous Rhythms Restriction were connected at every link.

With Shen Lian’s power, he too wasted some time to get through the long corridor. He figured that his incarnation could at most hold up for another ten minutes.

Luckily Fairy Tianmeng had an advantage against the incarnation, and hence as she intentionally wanted to demonstrate the techniques of Taisu to the students, she did not use her full power to destroy the incarnation.

If not, Shen Lian could not find a chance to sneak in before the battle ended.

Fairy Tianmeng’s ego had clouded her judgment. As she was able to toy with one of the most talented cultivators in a thousand years like Shen Lian, she was getting full of herself and had the idea of playing a cat and rat game.

After he went past the long corridor, he now stood in front a white jade stone door. When Shen Lian broke open the door, Fairy Tianmeng was shocked. She looked coldly at the incarnation of Shen Lian and said, “I’ve underestimated you.”

The incarnation smiled, and the four phenomena of wind, thunder, water, and fire exploded. He used up all the remaining mana. The effect was shocking and took all the students who were setting up the killing formation by surprise. They did not expect him to use mana for a self-explosion.

As the smoke dispersed, there was no remaining of Shen Lian.

Fairy Tianmeng was so angry, she started laughing. She did not believe she had fallen into Shen Lian’s tricks.

The incarnation talisman was the technique of the celestials and Buddha. Even an immortal Zhenren could hardly tell the difference, let alone Tianmeng. Fairy Tianmeng felt some remorse, but before she even got to explain, she turned into a ray and arrived at the stoned room for retreat in seconds.

Shen Lian at that moment was carrying Ruoxi in one hand and was exiting as a ray. When he saw Tianmeng Fairy, he flicked his finger and it was the Milky Way Sword Aura – the illusionary Milky Way appeared and they were coming in like an endless wave.

Fairy Tianmeng sneered and she swung her arm. The sunset mist appeared and as if a fire was burning the cloud, the illusionary Milky Way was lit up. The mana reversed the Milky Way and it was going towards Shen Lian.

Shen Lian frowned and thought that the mana of Tianmeng was indeed fierce.

The three powerful female Daoists that followed suit had such strong mana, they were not below Huang Longzi. As the three’s spiritual power consolidated according to the position of Heaven, Earth, and Human, it had the ability to turn the world over.

If the three enclosed him, Shen Lian needed not to wait for the immortal Zhenren to take action. He could not possibly escape either.

The three were Chamber Master Zisu, Chamber Master Baisu, and Chamber Master Huangsu.

Shen Lian simply allowed the illusionary Milky Way to come his way and knock into his back. Relying on this impact, his speed was increased to a multifold. He felt the unstable circulation of mana in his acupoints. He was a bit annoyed because he was slightly injured.

As Chamber Master Zisu saw Shen Lian intend to escape, a purple sword pierced through the sky, coming out from her sleeves and heading straight to Shen Lian.

At the same time, Chamber Master Huangsu brought on her sword, which carried the ever-circulating Qi of Huangyun. She attacked along with Chamber Master Zisu, one from the left and one from the right.

Chamber Master Baisu took out her jade and threw it towards Shen Lian with a tour-de-force power.

The three masters attacked at the same time and it was even more dangerous than his battle with Yanxu the last time.

Shen Lian moved around in the sky like a ghost. It was hard to predict the direction he was moving. He walked in the void with mysterious, illogical Dao patterns but he managed to dodge the purple sword.

It was hard to avoid the sword ray as it became one with the jade. They went through the void and led to an undulation that could turn the world around. One would think that Shen Lian would have no chance of survival.

Shen Lian was still carrying Ruoxi steadily. He managed to break through the combined attack like a trail of smoke. He avoided the combined attack of the three masters within inches.

It was definitely not because of serendipity, but more because of how much better Shen Lian was in his cultivation. It was the reason why he managed to spot an opportunity within inches.

However, his brows were still tied, as his crisis was not resolved.

Now he needed to get out of this encirclement quickly. Else, if he was trapped by the three masters and Fairy Tianmeng, regardless of how powerful his spirit was, or how he was able to determine the circulation of spiritual opportunity and survived in between deaths, he would not be able to escape the ending of being defeated.

Fairy Tianmeng’s dress was flowing. She let out an aura of being non-existent as if she had become one with the heaven and earth. The flowing Dao rhythm and the clouds surrounding her body made her look unlike a cultivator’s, but a celestial from Nine Heavens.

She was unreachable, and beyond the secular mortal world.

With the blast of a Dao formula, an extremely bright divine light approached fiercely. The light could cover the sky and the sun with no sympathy, like how the laws of heaven were unbreachable.

It was Taisu Sect’s Palm of Triple Yin – it carried the meaning of Taiyin, Shaoyin and Jue yin. It had no weakness, and with the force of mana, one could not escape.

While Shen Lian had Taixu Strategy, he was too shocked by how powerful her mana was. Since he began cultivating, he had never seen anyone who had yet to reach the level of immortal Zhenren had such mana.

That was the reason why Taisu Sect could conquer the whole of the north and no sect ever managed to take it off the position. Its techniques took a different path – although they were for women, the mana was forceful.

If it was a one-on-one, Shen Lian had many tricks up his sleeves for this, but for him, the most important thing was to leave this place.

His empty hand was moving at an unimaginable speed and making detailed but profound seals. It was what he learned at Taiwei Pavilion, known as the Mark of Mountains and Rivers. If it was used by the founder, the Qi could have swallowed mountains and rivers. It could even have an effect on Daoist Dengfeng’s Taiyue Real Shape Incantation.

While Shen Lian was not as good as the founder, but as the seal was formed, his essence, Qi, and spirit were suddenly lifted. The mana of Taixu was turned into two streams of Qi – mountain and water. The pressure that was formed was as if celestials or Buddha had arrived.

It was the benefit that he gained from forcefully understanding the meaning of Dharma from the forty immortal Zhenren. He could imitate the Qi of immortal Zhenren and awe the opponent via the heart.

Unfortunately, he could not use it against Yanxu, and there was none in the world that knew the secret method of the heart better than him.
