Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

Yu Shenxing felt a surge of joy.

Although the Holy Land families and the imperial court often had disagreements, they were ultimately in the same boat.

Mutual cooperation was only to be expected.

Yu Shenxing didn't hesitate much and nodded in agreement.

The Blood Sea Old Ancestor, seeing the Divine Firmament Sect, which had been so affectionate with him just a few days ago, turn around and become friendly with his nemesis, felt a surge of anger in his heart, as if he had become a cuckold.

"Four fellow Daoists, the Divine Firmament Sect and the Town Demon Division are joining forces, planning to defeat us one by one.

Why don't we join forces?" The Blood Sea Old Ancestor transmitted his voice in a thin line to the four Taoties.

The four Taoties, hearing the Blood Sea Old Ancestor's request for alliance, had a slight change in expression.

They exchanged glances, and in the communication between their eyes, they made a decision.

"Today, we will temporarily join forces with your Blood Fiend Sect, but once we leave West Niu Mountain, we will have no further relationship."

The Blood Sea Old Ancestor, hearing the arrogant response from the four Taoties, spat inwardly and cursed their ancestors for eighteen generations.

However, among the four forces present, their Blood Fiend Sect was the weakest.

Even if they were looked down upon, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

Xuanyuan Blood, the Blood Fiend Sect, the Divine Firmament Sect, and the Town Demon Division all harbored their own agendas.

After a brief period of alliances and betrayals, the battle once again entered a feverish state.

The commotion caused by the battle between more than a dozen Upper Three Realm experts was frightening.

The aftermath of the battle swept across the void, and wherever it passed, the peaks of Pingding Mountain were flattened.

The earth cracked, the mountains collapsed, and the scene was one of a dragon turning over, a complete mess.

Yi Si, who was secretly watching the battle, clicked her tongue and couldn't help but gasp.

"Even the Town Demon Division and the Blood Fiend Sect have gotten involved."

"Is this also within Jia Chen's calculations?"

"Just who exactly is Jia Chen?"

In Yi Si's heart, a storm was brewing, and her delicate red lips were slightly open, unable to close for a long time.

According to her previous guess, Jia Chen was likely a member of the imperial court, involved in the investigation of the Earth Mother Sacrifice case.

Today, he accurately predicted the arrival of the Town Demon Division.

Then…

"Jia Chen is a spy from the Town Demon Division!"

"That must be it!"

A look of sudden realization appeared on Yi Si's清冷pretty face, as if she had seen through the truth.

If the Blood Fiend Sect was being pursued by the Town Demon Division, then Jia Chen was planning to wipe out both the Blood Fiend Sect and Xuanyuan Blood in one fell swoop.

Then…

Rumble—

The mountain collapsed, rocks tumbled down, and dust filled the sky.

At this moment, a clear and ethereal aura emanated from the split Pingding Mountain, filled with a rich vitality, as if it were the air after a spring rain, making people feel refreshed and invigorated with just a single breath.

The moment they sensed this aura, everyone present felt a surge of energy.

"A spiritual Xuan Ginseng!"

"A spiritual herb!"

"What kind of treasure is here!"

All the Upper Three Realm experts revealed fiery gazes in their eyes.

A spiritual herb with sentience was a rare treasure in the world!

When refined into a pill, it could allow Upper Three Realm cultivators to break through bottlenecks.

Its allure to Upper Three Realm experts was no less than that of a Divine Forbidden Treasure.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

More than a dozen divine senses swept across the void, enveloping the entire Pingding Mountain.

Not a single detail was missed.

With a whoosh!

A yellow light suddenly broke through the air and streaked towards the east.

This yellow light was the spiritual Xuan Ginseng.

The direction in which the spiritual Xuan Ginseng escaped was closest to the Blood Sea Old Ancestor.

The Blood Sea Old Ancestor took a step and blocked the spiritual Xuan Ginseng's path.

He reached out with his right hand, grabbed the spiritual Xuan Ginseng's roots, and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha—"

But before his laughter could subside,

Blade light, lightning, fist wind…

All rushed towards him at once, scaring him out of his wits.

Not only did the Town Demon Division and the Divine Firmament Sect attack him, but even the four Xuanyuan Blood members he had just allied with attacked him.

Their attacks were so ruthless, as if they had a deep-seated hatred for him.

"Damn it!"

The Blood Sea Old Ancestor couldn't help but curse.

Although he had long known that these four allies were unreliable, the speed at which they changed faces still made even this fiend, the Blood Sea Old Ancestor, feel shameless.

In the blink of an eye,

A storm-like offensive poured down.

With so many Upper Three Realm experts attacking together, even Eleventh Realm or even Twelfth Realm experts would not dare to face them head-on.

The Blood Sea Old Ancestor threw the spiritual Xuan Ginseng into the air and shouted sharply.

"Hmph—"

"Since you all like the spiritual Xuan Ginseng so much, then take it."

The Blood Sea Old Ancestor was very decisive.

Faced with the crowd's siege, he decisively threw away the hot potato that was the spiritual Xuan Ginseng.

Moreover, he was very cunning, throwing the spiritual Xuan Ginseng in the direction of the crowd's attack.

Although the spiritual Xuan Ginseng had become sentient, it was still just a spiritual medicine.

Wouldn't this overwhelming offensive, if it landed on the spiritual Xuan Ginseng, blow it into dust?

Seeing this scene, the crowd, who had just angrily attacked, all retracted their strength, not wanting to harm the spiritual Xuan Ginseng.

Hmph—

Hmph—

Hmph—

Muffled groans came from the crowd's noses.

Obviously, the forced retraction of their attacks had caused a considerable backlash, causing the qi and blood in their bodies to churn.

Seeing the other three Upper Three Realm forces suffer a hidden loss, the Blood Sea Old Ancestor felt great joy in his heart!

The chaotic battle erupted once again among the Upper Three Realm experts.

Because of the appearance of the spiritual Xuan Ginseng, the previous alliances had become mere scraps of paper, with no binding force whatsoever.

No matter who obtained the spiritual Xuan Ginseng, they would be besieged, and they would have no choice but to learn from the Blood Sea Old Ancestor and throw the spiritual Xuan Ginseng out in order to protect themselves.

For a time, none of the more than a dozen Upper Three Realm experts present could dominate the spiritual Xuan Ginseng.

Just as the crowd was at a stalemate,

Zhuque transmitted his voice in a thin line, speaking to the other three Xuanyuan Blood Venerables.

"My escape technique is the fastest, you guys cover my rear."

The other three's expressions were not very good.

Of course, they didn't want to do the hard work of covering the rear.

However, what Zhuque said made sense.

Among the four, Zhuque's escape technique was unique.

If he took the spiritual Xuan Ginseng, he was the most likely to break through the encirclement.

The spiritual Xuan Ginseng concerned the Lord's grand plan and could not be lost.

"Alright!"

"Zhuque, in a moment, we will help you create an opportunity."

"Once you take the spiritual Xuan Ginseng, retreat immediately, and we will buy you the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."

The four transmitted their voices in a thin line, communicated with each other, and quickly reached an agreement.

Whoosh—

The spiritual Xuan Ginseng, like a rag doll, drew an arc in the void and fell towards Zhuque's direction.

The Divine Firmament Sect, the Blood Fiend Sect, and the Town Demon Division were not wary, all thinking that Zhuque would throw the spiritual Xuan Ginseng out like before, so as not to be besieged.

Therefore, when they attacked, they left some leeway, so as not to suffer too much backlash when they retracted their attacks.

However, the next moment, Zhuque's actions shocked them.

After taking the spiritual Xuan Ginseng, Zhuque not only did not throw it out, but instead turned around and ran.

A rich scarlet flame erupted from his body, his wings spread open, and he fled into the distance, like a true Vermillion Bird.

In an instant, the faces of the Blood Fiend Sect, the Divine Firmament Sect, and the Town Demon Division changed drastically.

"Stop him!"

"Take my palm strike, Blood Sea Boundless Palm!"

"Geng Metal True Lightning, cut him down!"

…

A continuous stream of attacks fell towards Zhuque, with the intention of killing Zhuque here.

The three Taoties, as agreed, all attacked, blocking the other three forces.

However, with just the three of them, fighting against the experts of the Blood Fiend Sect, the Divine Firmament Sect, and the Town Demon Division, the difference in strength was too great, and they instantly fell into a disadvantageous position, in a precarious situation.

The three Taoties' covering of the rear was not without meaning, buying Zhuque time to escape.

A flash of scarlet rainbow light, Zhuque's escape technique, unparalleled in the world, instantly widened the distance, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to disappear from everyone's sight.

Everyone was both surprised and angry, but Yi Si alone had a look of surprise and ecstasy.

Because Zhuque was actually escaping towards the direction where she was hiding.

"Should we make a move?"

"This is a Psychic Profound Ginseng!"

"At worst, we'll use a secret technique; it's not like we have no chance to contend."

In a flash, Yi Si made up his mind.

Thousand Miles of Ice!

In an instant, snow filled the mountains, like a scene from the northern lands.

The temperature in the air dropped sharply at an exaggerated speed.

An icy giant palm descended from the sky and crashed down.

The target of the fall was none other than the fleeing Vermilion Bird.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.

The sudden attack caught the Vermilion Bird off guard.

The extreme coldness further restrained the Vermilion Bird, who cultivated fire-attribute divine powers.

In a panic, the Vermilion Bird could only passively respond, subconsciously throwing a punch.

Scarlet firelight rose from his fist, transforming into a firebird that flew towards the icy giant palm.

If one looked closely, they would notice that this firebird resembled the Vermilion Bird, its scarlet flames burning fiercely, distorting the air.

Boom—

The Vermilion Bird's firebird and the icy giant palm collided head-on.

A collision of fire and ice.

A confrontation between heat and extreme cold.

It erupted in mid-air.

A stream of ice and fire energy spread in all directions.

Within a few miles, one half was as red as fire, like a volcano, and the other half was a world of ice and snow, with biting cold winds.

This rare sight was like a world of ice and fire.

The Vermilion Bird was hindered by the icy giant palm, instantly losing the initiative, and was caught up by the upper three realm experts behind him.

"Ahhh—"

"Don't let me find you!"

"Otherwise, this seat will surely draw your tendons and peel your skin!"

The Vermilion Bird roared, his voice soaring into the sky.

The anger and resentment in the roar were clear even to the deaf.

Helpless, the Vermilion Bird could only throw away the Psychic Profound Ginseng, and the situation returned to what it was before.

However, everyone became more cautious.

On the one hand, they were wary of someone imitating the Vermilion Bird and catching them off guard.

On the other hand, they were vigilant against the person hiding in the shadows.

The icy giant palm from just now was equivalent to a full-force strike from an upper three realm expert.

Although it was unknown whether the person hiding in the shadows truly had the strength of the upper three realms, or whether they were using secret techniques and treasures to unleash it.

But neither should be underestimated; the other party definitely had the strength to disrupt the situation.

Boom—

Boom—

Boom—

Violent collision sounds erupted in the void.

The Psychic Profound Ginseng, after so many rounds of contention, experiencing so many aftershocks of battle, endured pain it shouldn't have endured.

And then…

It cracked!

Just the literal meaning.

The Psychic Profound Ginseng was torn into pieces.

Seeing the Psychic Profound Ginseng torn into pieces, all the upper three realm experts present subconsciously stopped, a deep regret appearing in their eyes.

A good Psychic spiritual herb, ruined!

The torn Psychic Profound Ginseng's medicinal effects were greatly reduced. Although it could still be used to refine pills, it was quite useless to the upper three realms.

The four Taotie's expressions were quite ugly upon seeing this scene.

The Psychic Profound Ginseng being torn into pieces meant that their plan had completely failed.

It was all the fault of the Divine Firmament Sect!

If the Divine Firmament Sect hadn't interfered, how would the situation have become like this?

Taotie glared fiercely at the three members of the Divine Firmament Sect, and then suddenly attacked in anger.

…

The torn Psychic Profound Ginseng was indeed useless to the upper three realm experts.

But for other cultivators, it was still a rare spiritual herb.

Even just a root hair was a great tonic.

"Snatch it!"

"The Psychic Profound Ginseng is mine!"

"Die, old man, the Profound Ginseng is mine!"

The middle and lower levels of the four forces erupted in a bloody battle.

Anyone who managed to snatch even a tiny bit of the Psychic Profound Ginseng would hide it well, and then, without looking back, flee towards the outer perimeter of West Bull Mountain.

Far away on East Screen Peak, Zhou Haochen looked in the direction of Flat Top Peak, a slight upward curve appearing on the corner of his mouth.

This was the grand play he orchestrated.

Although, some accidents occurred later.

However, the intrusion of the Blood Fiend Sect and the Evil Suppression Division pushed this grand play to a climax.

The moment he saw the arrival of the Blood Fiend Sect and the Evil Suppression Division, Zhou Haochen finally completely understood the hexagram.

The multiple forces in the hexagram originally referred to Xuanyuan Blood, the Divine Firmament Sect, the Blood Fiend Sect, and the Evil Suppression Division.

"I wonder what the final result of this great battle will be?"

The battlefield where more than a dozen upper three realm experts were fighting was no longer a battle that Zhou Haochen could interfere in, and Zhou Haochen could only quietly wait for the result.

Just at this moment, Zhou Haochen's brow throbbed once again, and the Eight Trigrams Diagram shone brightly with golden light.

Another hexagram?

This was the first time Zhou Haochen had encountered two hexagrams in one day.

Zhou Haochen calmed his mind and quickly looked at it.

[Ze Mountain: Go fifteen miles northwest of East Screen Peak, wait for a rabbit, after a battle, obtain a seventh-grade opportunity, no risk and no worries, small auspicious].

[Heaven and Earth: Stay on East Screen Peak, do not take any action, wait for the end of the great battle, no opportunity and no risk, neutral].

This time the hexagram was very simple, and Zhou Haochen understood it at a glance.

Going fifteen miles northwest of East Screen Peak would encounter a battle, and then obtain a seventh-grade opportunity, presumably snatched from the hands of other cultivators.

A seventh-grade opportunity was not even ranked among the opportunities shown in the hexagram.

But even mosquito meat is still meat.

A seventh-grade opportunity, don't want it for nothing.

Zhou Haochen tapped his toes and swept towards the northwest direction, stopping fifteen miles outside East Screen Peak, waiting for a rabbit.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, a figure came running in a hurry.

It was a disciple of the Divine Firmament Sect!

His Daoist robe had blood stains and rips, obviously having just experienced a great battle.

Wang Jun, who was flying rapidly, had a look of lingering fear on his face, as well as a strong sense of excitement and ecstasy.

In the chaotic battle at Flat Top Peak, he had snatched a root hair of the Psychic Profound Ginseng.

The elders of the upper three realms didn't care about the root hair of the Psychic Profound Ginseng, but as ordinary disciples, they were very envious.

For ordinary Divine Firmament Sect disciples like him, the treatment was far inferior to geniuses like Liu Qingyang.

Don't look down on just a root hair, for him, it was a great tonic, and even swallowing it raw could help him advance to the fifth realm.

Liu Qingyang had just died, and there was a vacancy for a personal disciple.

If he advanced to the fifth realm, he might not be able to compete for the identity of a personal disciple.

Just as Wang Jun was fantasizing about advancing to the fifth realm, becoming a personal disciple, and having beautiful senior sisters throw themselves into his arms.

Suddenly, a thunderous sword pierced out from the mountains and forests, stabbing him with a chilling heart, his heart completely pierced.

Before losing consciousness, Wang Jun only had one thought in his mind.

Despicable!

No martial ethics!

After the sword transformed from Geng Metal True Thunder killed Wang Jun with one strike, Zhou Haochen finally appeared from the dense forest.

No wonder there was no danger in the hexagram.

Wang Jun's strength was really not enough to watch.

Perhaps it was the great battle he had recently experienced with Liu Qingyang, but now, looking at the ordinary disciples of the Divine Firmament Sect, Zhou Haochen only had one thought in his mind.

So weak!

He could kill the other party with a casual move.

Zhou Haochen skillfully destroyed the corpse and erased the traces, and then counted the gains.

Soon, Zhou Haochen found the seventh-grade opportunity in the hexagram.

[Root Hair of the Psychic Profound Ginseng: Root hair of the Psychic Profound Ginseng, can be used as medicine, break through bottlenecks, there is still a glimmer of life, can be cultivated with Nine Heavens Breath Soil!]

Seeing the prompt in the hexagram, Zhou Haochen's spirits lifted.

A single root hair, not a complete Psychic Profound Ginseng, was naturally not a precious treasure.

But what surprised Zhou Haochen was that the battle at Flat Top Peak was so fierce that even the Psychic Profound Ginseng was shattered.

More importantly, the root hair in his hand still had a glimmer of life and could be cultivated with Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

"If it is cultivated, wouldn't I be able to obtain a complete Psychic Profound Ginseng?"

"Hiss—"

Zhou Haochen clenched his fist excitedly.
