Chapter 277: 192 Skill Manual Acquired_1

A majestic Sky-Supporting Peak stood tall, with a sprawling estate at its summit one could see the plaque bearing the golden characters "Five Dragon Garden".

A golden pavilion five stories high was adorned with a plaque inscribed with the characters "Five Dragon Pavilion".

Chu Buyu stepped out of a secret chamber, her face alight with joy.

"This is actually a secret realm left by the Five Dragon Sect!"

Chu Buyu muttered to herself, having found many valuable scriptures here, including the complete "Nine Revolutions Transforming Flood Dragon Technique" and previous Cultivators’ Refining Insights.

A loud crash sounded as the pavilion collapsed, and a red fiery palm appeared, hurtling straight towards Chu Buyu.

Chu Buyu’s reaction was swift, with a flick of her wrist, a strand of red beads on her hand glowed with a blinding red light, and a thick red light shield materialized.

The red fiery palm struck the red light shield, producing a dull thud.

As several Spiritual Treasures flashing with spiritual light shot towards her, Chu Buyu hurriedly summoned a red shield, blocking the onslaught of attacks.

Chu Buyu’s gaze swept across the area and saw seven Core Formation Cultivators in red robes, with Ice Flood Dragon True Person among them.

"Three Immortals Sect! How bold of you."

Chu Buyu’s eyebrows knitted with concern; she had not expected to encounter Core Formation Cultivators from the Three Immortals Sect.

"Finish her quickly and seize the Spiritual Treasure."

The elder in the red robe commanded with a grave voice.

Chu Buyu held a high position in Sun Moon Palace, and if she were to escape, it would cause significant trouble.

As long as Chu Buyu was eliminated, there would be no problem.

Ice Flood Dragon True Person released the Ice Flood Dragon, which let out a heaven-piercing roar and unleashed a thick beam of white light, charging straight at Chu Buyu.

Simultaneously, the red-robed elder and the others launched their attacks on Chu Buyu.

A series of loud booms erupted, with multicolored spiritual light shining in the sky. The red shield was hit by the white light, instantly icing over, and shattered by the various Dharma Treasures.

"Taste the power of the Soul Extinguishing Bead."

Chu Buyu sneered, and with a flick of her right hand, a black bead shot out towards the seven individuals in red robes.

"The Soul Extinguishing Bead! Dodge it quickly!"

The elder in the red robe’s face changed drastically as he quickly dodged aside.

Ice Flood Dragon True Person and the other six all evaded, their faces a mix of wariness and dread.

The black bead soared into the sky, emitting a vast amount of black mist, blanketing a large area.

"You’re tricking us!"

The red-robed elder roared furiously.

Golden lightning flashed on Chu Buyu’s back, and a pair of golden-red wings materialized, emitting astonishing spiritual energy.

The Dharma Treasure, Thunderfire Wings!

With a gentle flap of the golden-red wings, Chu Buyu transformed into a bolt of golden lightning and vanished.

"Chase her! She absolutely must not get away."

The red-robed elder ordered, his Divine Sense detecting Chu Buyu dozens of miles away to the southwest; the Dharma Treasure was not yet capable of Instantaneous Movement over a hundred miles.

They sped off in the southwest direction, rapidly closing the distance.

······

A continuous, undulating expanse of verdant green mountains echoed with deafening booms, as a massive burst of green lightning streaked into the sky.

In the depth of the mountains, a steep peak towered, with a cave at its base from which anguished cries of a woman intermittently sounded.

Before long, the screams ceased, and a tall, thin man in black and a short, plump elder in blue emerged from the cave.

"Jiang Man actually knew Lu Qian and was quite close; this is the Five Dragon Secret Realm," said the man in black, his face dark with somberness.

Liu Liang, a late-stage Core Formation Disciple of Blood Crow True Monarch.

They had been pursuing Chu Buyu, followed her into the Secret Realm, and encountered Jiang Man. Jiang Man was no match for them; she was caught after a scuffle and subjected to their torture, revealing the truth under duress.

"According to Jiang Man, it’s highly likely that there are Spiritual Treasures in the Secret Realm. The Three Immortals Sect apprehended Lu Qian because of these treasures," the elder in blue said, his voice laced with excitement.

"The Secret Realm is vast; let’s check other places, hoping to find Spiritual Treasures. Let’s not let Chu Buyu get the treasure first," suggested Liu Liang.

He was concerned that Chu Buyu might find the Spiritual Treasure before them.

"But come to think of it, was the Five Dragon Sect so affluent that they could leave a Spiritual Treasure here in the Secret Realm? With that treasure, a Nascent Soul Cultivator of their sect could have fought their way out and not succumbed to death," the blue-robed elder wondered aloud.

"Maybe it’s not an offensive-type Spiritual Treasure but another kind. Let’s get moving! Among Lu Qian’s group of five, there’s one with a third-order Ice Flood Dragon; a very tricky opponent," said Liu Liang with a grave complexion, as they departed the area.

······

A boundless expanse of red bamboo forest lay scattered with copious red bamboo leaves.

An earth-shattering boom resounded, a vast burst of green lightning shot into the sky, and clouds of dust billowed high, with countless red bamboo torn from their roots by powerful gusts and shattered before even hitting the ground.

Deep within the bamboo forest, in an open area, a giant green tiger lay in a pool of blood, its body entangled with thick roots, devoid of visible injuries.

On the ground lay multiple smoking craters with signs of melting.

Shen Long beckoned with one hand, and the Spirit Extinguishing Needle flew back, landing in his palm.

He approached and sliced open the belly of the Colossal Tiger, but after a thorough search, he found neither the Leading Thunder Pearl nor the Absorbing Thunder Pearl.

Shen Long was slightly disappointed, retrieving the carcass of the Colossal Tiger. At that moment, nearby space lit up with a streak of golden lightning, and Chu Buyu appeared, her complexion pale, and her aura weak, clearly severely injured.

Shen Long was taken aback upon seeing Chu Buyu.

He had never expected to encounter Chu Buyu here.

Chu Buyu also noticed Shen Long but did not recognize him, as he was not showing his true appearance.
