Chapter 845 - 933: Seizing the Folding Fan and Bone Bow

Inside the grand hall of immeasurable size.

Eight light orbs hovered in mid-air within the hall.

The five people below were each sending out waves of True Qi, striking at those light orbs.

"Yiren, should we make a move?"

Chen Mo transmitted to Zuoqiu Yiren.

Seeing that Zuoqiu Yiren didn’t respond, Chen Mo turned his head to look and found her gaze fixed on the end of the hall, where there was a stone chair, akin to a throne.

On the throne sat a figure draped in a gray robe, but under the robe, there were skeletal remains.

Clearly long deceased, only a skeletal frame remained.

Above the skeletal frame, there was a light circle like a mirror, with a diameter of ten feet, emitting a soft glow and ripples.

However, reaching there was not so easy.

Because about thirty feet in front of the throne, several golden runes floated in the air.

"Array." Chen Mo’s pupils slightly contracted.

At that moment, under the continuous True Qi bombardment by several people, the eight light orbs in the hall were also dimming, appearing like they were about to shatter at any moment.

At this point, Zuoqiu Yiren finally came back to her senses, glanced at the eight light orbs, sensed them with her Divine Sense, and transmitted: "The presence of the Folding Fan and the Bone Bow is stronger; the other Dao Artifacts are secondary. When the orbs shatter, focus on grabbing these two."

Chen Mo was startled; he understood what Zuoqiu Yiren meant.

This was a plan to join the fray without contributing earlier.

However, Zuoqiu Yiren wasn’t the only one who noticed this.

Li Meng and Yu Yuanshan also realized this.

They each transmitted to Su Mengyan and Zhao Yping.

"Mengyan, when it’s time to grab, go for the Folding Fan or the Bone Bow; the others are secondary."

"Yu Ping, when the orbs shatter, focus on getting the Folding Fan and the Bone Bow; these two Dao Artifacts are the most powerful. Go for the others after the Folding Fan and the Bone Bow are claimed; I will hold off Li Meng."

"Got it."

Su Mengyan and Zhao Yping nodded.

The Divinity Transformation Realm strongman also faintly sensed that out of the eight Magical Treasures, the Folding Fan and Bone Bow were stronger, but he understood these were not within his grasp.

So he set his sights on a Jade Flute instead.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a subtle cracking sound echoed, and in that instant, all eyes in the hall locked onto the slowly widening cracks on the light orbs.

"Crack, crack!"

In the eyes of several people, the cracks expanded rapidly, eventually spreading to every corner of the light orbs.

"Boom!"

When the cracks on the light orb reached their limit, it finally couldn’t withstand anymore and burst open, turning into countless light fragments that rained down from the sky.

"Boom!"

At the moment of the light orb bursting, the hall fell silent for an instant, then five people almost simultaneously erupted with mighty True Qi. Their eyes were burning at that moment, bodies leaping into the air, snatching towards those Dao Artifacts no longer protected by the light orbs.

"Boom!"

Li Meng and Yu Yuanshan started battling.

"You old stubborn, I knew you were up to no good." Li Meng retorted as Yu Yuanshan rushed at him instantly, countering while mocking.

"Right back at you."

Zhao Yping and Su Mengyan simultaneously dashed towards the Folding Fan, with the same thought of pocketing the Folding Fan first before going for the Bone Bow.

"Brother Yu Ping, I also fancy this fan. Could you let me have it, Brother Yu Ping?" Su Mengyan batted her eyes at Zhao Yping, then spoke in a sweet voice.

"Since Mengyan asked, I shall let you have it." Zhao Yping displayed his gentlemanly demeanor, shifting his grab towards the Bone Bow. After all, it made no difference.

It was impossible to snag both.

"Whoosh!"

But at that moment.

Two streaks of light shot forth, snatching the Folding Fan and Bone Bow away before Su Mengyan and Zhao Yping could react.

"Huh???"

Zhao Yping and Su Mengyan’s faces changed, they looked up to see.

That those who snatched the Folding Fan and Bone Bow were the two plain-looking people who came in later.

Seeing they were beaten to it,

Zhao Yping and Su Mengyan were furious.

Immediately they dashed towards the two, intending to seize back the Folding Fan and the Bone Bow.

"Hmph."

Noticing the fierce gale coming their way, Zuoqiu Yiren let out a cold snort, a slight wave of her hand sent a True Qi Ball surging out, not only blocking their attack but also sending them flying away.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

Zhao Yping and Su Mengyan stumbled back more than ten feet in the hall before barely stabilizing themselves, hurriedly circulating their True Qi to suppress the blood rising in their throats.

Seeing this, Yu Yuanshan and Li Meng also came to their senses, quickly stopped fighting, fixed their gaze on Chen Mo and Zuoqiu Yiren, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo initially wanted to say something evasive.

Instead, Zuoqiu Yiren gave the Folding Fan a light wave, unfurling it to reveal a landscape painting, then chuckled lightly, "I won’t tell you."

Chen Mo: "..."

Yu Yuanshan: "..."

Li Meng: "..."

"Doing this, don’t you think you’re a bit too overboard? You didn’t make a move when breaking it open, but now, suddenly, you snatch things belonging to my sect." Yu Yuanshan observed the two, focusing his gaze on Zuoqiu Yiren.

"Your sect’s possession? Does the Folding Fan have your Cyan Cloud Sect’s name written on it? Since it doesn’t, then it’s unclaimed; whoever grabs it owns it." Zuoqiu Yiren said calmly.

Yu Yuanshan’s face darkened, "In that case, let me see the extent of your skills."

With that, Yu Yuanshan raised his hand, rapidly circulating True Qi within him, quickly forming a fireball which he hurled towards Zuoqiu Yiren.

Zuoqiu Yiren merely waved the fan lightly in response, and instantly, an ancient aura surged forth from the fan’s landscape painting, transforming into a towering tidal wave.

The fireball Yu Yuanshan threw was instantly extinguished by the wave, and he himself was forced back several steps by the wave.

Although Zuoqiu Yiren had just obtained the Folding Fan and had not refined it yet,

Her formidable prowess enabled her to wield some of the Fan’s power.

Yu Yuanshan’s pupils contracted in shock; that power managed to push him back.

This signified that the opponent’s strength wasn’t far from his own.

"Who on earth are you?" Yu Yuanshan exclaimed in surprise.

Li Meng also showed a hint of surprise; this apparently ordinary-looking person possessed such strength.

"I’ve said, I won’t tell you, why keep asking." In one hand holding the Folding Fan, Zuoqiu Yiren tapped her left palm with it.

Yu Yuanshan furrowed his brows, then said, "With such skill, yet you cloak yourself; isn’t that a bit cowardly?"

Zuoqiu Yiren did not respond.

Yu Yuanshan’s expression darkened further; he glanced at Li Meng, only to see the latter shake his head, clearly not wanting to fight here.
