Chapter 215: People from the Taiyin Divine Mansion

On the other side.

Jiang Taixuan was dashing through the mountains with Xiao Fan, both moving swiftly—but the two powerful figures chasing them weren’t any slower.

"You two won’t escape. Hand over the Black Tortoise Divine Beast Egg, and I can guarantee your lives!" A Divine Palace realm expert shouted.

He came from a powerful force and possessed extraordinary strength. When his eyes opened and closed, beams of divine light shot out—this was a type of eye technique. Each gaze was as sharp as a divine sword.

In the blink of an eye, over a dozen beams of light sealed off all of Jiang Taixuan’s escape routes.

Boom!

The Nine-Leaf Golden Lotus under Jiang Taixuan’s feet trembled violently, nearly shattering. It was a supreme-grade defensive spiritual treasure, yet in front of a Divine Palace realm expert, it was starting to fall short.

"You old bastard! Do you dare fight me at the same level?" Xiao Fan, also standing on the Nine-Leaf Golden Lotus, shouted loudly.

"Hmph!"

The Divine Palace realm expert snorted coldly, dismissively saying, "My strength far surpasses yours. Why would I lower myself to fight you on equal footing?"

These words made both Xiao Fan and Jiang Taixuan feel quite helpless.

A battle on equal footing wasn’t something they feared—even fighting someone one realm higher would be manageable. But the issue was that the enemy wasn’t just one realm stronger—they were vastly stronger.

Especially Xiao Fan, who was only at the Profound Elixir realm.

He couldn’t hope to defeat a Divine Palace realm opponent, let alone when there were two such experts chasing them.

"If you keep chasing us, believe it or not, I’ll smash this egg and make soup out of it!"

Xiao Fan threatened, holding up the massive Black Tortoise egg that was taller than he was.

This move caused the two pursuing Divine Palace realm experts to hesitate.

Earlier, they had attacked with restraint, afraid of harming the Black Tortoise egg. If not for that concern, Jiang Taixuan and Xiao Fan wouldn’t have had the slightest chance of escaping from their grasp.

Now, with Xiao Fan using the egg to threaten them, the two hesitated even more.

At the very least, they didn’t dare to make any reckless moves.

If Xiao Fan really chose mutual destruction and shattered the Black Tortoise egg, everyone would end up with nothing. It would all be in vain.

"You little brat, you wouldn’t dare!" One of the Divine Palace realm experts, an elderly man with a hoarse voice, spoke up.

He was a powerhouse from Mount Taixu, and is already at mid-stage Divine Palace realm. He formed a seal with one hand, condensing a massive grinding stone that slowly turned. It was colossal, and as it descended from the skies, its aura was terrifying.

Jiang Taixuan pushed the Nine-Leaf Golden Lotus harder, its speed increasing slightly as they flew off into the distance. Facing such an attack, other geniuses might have chosen to face it head-on.

But Jiang Taixuan was different—he always remembered Li Xun’s instructions:

Protect Xiao Fan. That’s all that matters.

There was no need to engage a Divine Palace realm expert. If he were blocked, Xiao Fan would be left alone—and that would be dangerous.

Crack!

The grinding stone struck the Nine-Leaf Golden Lotus again, producing a crisp cracking sound. Cracks began to spread across the top-grade defensive treasure.

Clearly, the treasure was reaching its limit.

One more hit, and it might break apart.

"That supreme-grade flying spiritual treasure is quite rare. If we break it, they’ll have nowhere left to run!"

Seeing this, the two chasing Divine Palace experts had their eyes light up. The elder who had just attacked formed another seal—this time summoning a divine mountain, a thousand zhang tall, that appeared high above Jiang Taixuan and Xiao Fan.

The mountain was simply too massive. Terrifying power flowed from it as radiant light sparkled on its surface. It emanated an aura that felt like it could crush all realms, making Jiang Taixuan’s heart pound in fear.

"You old bastard, don’t you dare!"

Xiao Fan placed the Black Tortoise egg back on the Nine-Leaf Golden Lotus, then leapt atop the egg. His small body radiated overwhelming vitality.

Brilliant divine radiance burst from his flesh, forming a divine ring that enveloped him. He looked like a blazing sun, cloaking him in terrifying might.

He lifted one foot and—Thud!—stomped down on the Black Tortoise egg.

The sound wasn’t particularly loud, but it made the hearts of the two pursuing experts skip a beat.

"No!" The old man cried out in anguish.

The divine mountain he had just conjured up didn’t fall but quickly dissipated instead.

The Black Tortoise Divine Beast was world-renowned for its defense. Once matured, even four or five experts of the same realm working together might not be able to breach its defenses.

But this was merely an egg.

If Xiao Fan really stomped on it a few more times, the whole thing might shatter completely.

"Take one more step, and I’ll crush it beneath my foot!"

Xiao Fan’s eyes were fierce and domineering as he lifted his foot again, threatening to stomp down.

Sure enough, the two Divine Palace realm experts hesitated and slowed their pursuit.

Just as Jiang Taixuan and Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief—

Boom!

A power of utter cold and darkness came crashing down—an overwhelmingly yin-based force.

A massive black hand blanketed the sky, crashing down to shatter the Nine-Leaf Golden Lotus and sent Jiang Taixuan and Xiao Fan flying.

It was the power of extreme yin.

That black hand seemed to reach out from the deepest parts of cosmic darkness. Its might was terrifying beyond measure. With a single blow, it obliterated everything within ten directions—nothing was left behind.

"Pu!"

Jiang Taixuan and Xiao Fan both shuddered violently. It was like being struck by ten thousand mountains.

They vomited blood and were blasted backward, crashing into a nearby mountain.

"Someone from the Taiyin Divine Mansion!"

Standing among the rubble, Xiao Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were icy cold.

He had heard of this faction before—and for a good reason.

The older brother who once received his bone marrow transplant had joined this very force.

"Taiyin Divine Mansion?"

The other two Divine Palace realm experts paled. The attacks they had been preparing instantly faded away.

Though the powers behind them weren’t weak, it all depended on who they were compared to.

Compared to the Northern Yu Dynasty, their factions were already a step behind. And the Taiyin Divine Mansion... was on a whole different level.

The Northern Yu Dynasty had once been founded by a Great Emperor, giving it profound foundations that few could rival.

But the Taiyin Divine Mansion? Even more frightening.

According to rumors, they had connections with the mythical Immortal Realm.

Whether or not that was true, just the possibility meant that the Taiyin Divine Mansion wasn’t something any ordinary person or force could afford to provoke.

Because of their exalted status, only the most monstrous geniuses of an era could gain entry.

Any random disciple pulled from the mansion could easily sweep through their peers.

To outsiders, someone like Li Xun might seem brilliant and dazzling—but in the Taiyin Divine Mansion? He might not even be among the top thousand. At most, he’s only a little above average.

"The Taiyin Divine Mansion is located extremely far from here. Why would they send someone to a remote place like this?"

The two Divine Palace experts exchanged glances, confusion in their eyes.

They couldn’t possibly have heard about the impending reemergence of the Ancient Great Strength Divine Demon Sect deep in this remote wilderness, right?

That would be far too absurd.

Even if they had heard such rumors, there was no way they could have arrived so quickly.
