“Whoosh!”
A square seal flew out from the sleeve of Master Longbrow’s Taoist robe.
The Heavenly Master Seal!
Master Longbrow extended his hand, and the Heavenly Master Seal landed in his left palm.
“Little rascal, step back, lest you get caught in the aftermath.”
“By the way, don’t forget what I said, take care of Shuisheng for me.”
“Please!”
Ye Qiu’s heart was anxious, and he shouted loudly, “Old thing, stop for a moment, we’ll definitely find a way to break the formation.”
Master Longbrow gave a faint smile, not stopping, but instead bit his right middle finger.
Then, he silently chanted a spell, and in an instant, blood spurted out.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
The blood that spurted from Master Longbrow’s finger didn’t drip to the ground, but instead gathered in the air, forming a blood thread that wrapped around the Heavenly Master Seal.
Master Longbrow looked at the Heavenly Master Seal, his expression solemn, and said, “Today, your later disciple Longbrow is trapped in a deadly formation, with no other choice, I use the method of offering the seal, please, Ancestral Master, grant my request.”
The Heavenly Master Seal showed no response.
Master Longbrow continued, “Please, Ancestral Master, grant my request!”
The Heavenly Master Seal still showed not the slightest reaction.
Master Longbrow’s right hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and in that instant, the wound on his middle finger split open, blood gushing out, a thread as thick as a teacup rapidly wrapping around the Heavenly Master Seal.
“With my blood, I break the heavens, please, Ancestral Master, grant my request!”
Master Longbrow roared loudly.
“Buzz!”
The small Heavenly Master Seal suddenly flew into the air, emitting an unparalleled brilliant white light, like a star, illuminating the surrounding world.
Master Longbrow was overjoyed, his hands quickly forming seals in front of him.
Ten seconds later.
Master Longbrow turned his head to glance at Ye Qiu, his lips moving slightly.
Ye Qiu saw it, Master Longbrow had mouthed three words to him.
Farewell forever!
“No, don’t, ”
Ye Qiu’s words were cut off as he saw Master Longbrow’s hands fiercely push forward.
“Break!”
The Heavenly Master Seal, like a star, crashed heavily into the iron pillar.
Boom!
A violent explosion rang out.
A cloud of dust rose.
The explosion’s force was so immense that Ye Qiu instantly lost his hearing, his mind buzzing, and he fainted on the ground.
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
Ye Qiu slowly woke up, opening his eyes to see shattered iron fragments scattered everywhere, like sand.
The iron pillar was broken.
The other forty-eight iron pillars were gone too.
The Heavenly Killing Formation was broken.
However, Ye Qiu felt no joy, hurriedly scrambling up from the ground, “Old thing, old thing…”
Soon, he saw Master Longbrow.
Master Longbrow lay on the ground, covered in blood, motionless.
“Old thing!”
Tears welled up in Ye Qiu’s eyes as he rushed to Master Longbrow’s side, grasping his pulse.
His meridians were severed.
His five organs were severely injured.
Master Longbrow’s life force was rapidly fading.
Only his last breath remained!
Ye Qiu quickly channelled his innate true qi into Master Longbrow’s body, then pulled out golden needles to treat him.
Ye Qiu applied countless acupuncture techniques to Master Longbrow’s body.
Seven Star Needle Technique, Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, Taiyi Divine Needle…
Dozens of needle techniques in total.
However, the effect was minimal.
It wasn’t that Ye Qiu’s medical skills were lacking, but Master Longbrow’s injuries were simply too severe, with a violent aura in his body threatening to swallow his last breath.
Without time to think, Ye Qiu immediately crushed a hundred-year-old lingzhi and a five-hundred-year-old ginseng, feeding their medicinal liquid into Master Longbrow’s mouth.
He then channelled three streams of innate true qi into Master Longbrow’s meridians, completely suppressing that violent aura.
After a long while, Master Longbrow finally opened his eyes with difficulty.
Ye Qiu was overjoyed, “Old thing, you’re awake? How do you feel now?”
“Little rascal, I, where am I?” Master Longbrow asked weakly, “Are we in the underworld?”
Ye Qiu said, “We’re still at the bottom of Tianchi, the Heavenly Killing Formation is broken.”
“The bottom of Tianchi?” Master Longbrow looked around, saying, “Why do I see only darkness?”
What!
“Little rascal, where are you? Why can’t I see you, have you turned into a ghost?” Master Longbrow said again.
Only then did Ye Qiu notice that Master Longbrow’s eyes were lifeless, his pupils without any focus.
Could it be…
Ye Qiu’s heart panicked, waving his hand in front of Master Longbrow’s eyes, asking, “I’m right in front of you, can’t you see me?”
Master Longbrow shook his head, “This poor Taoist sees nothing.”
It’s over, the old thing is blind!
Ye Qiu immediately activated his Heavenly Eye, staring at Master Longbrow’s eyes, his vision instantly penetrating the blood vessels around them.
Ye Qiu found that Master Longbrow’s blood vessels were not blocked, perfectly normal.
How could this be?
“Little rascal, is this really the bottom of Tianchi?” Master Longbrow asked in disbelief.
“Yes, we’re still at the bottom of Tianchi,” Ye Qiu said, “That iron pillar was destroyed by you with the Heavenly Master Seal.”
“So, this poor Taoist isn’t dead?” Master Longbrow said in surprise.
“You’re not dead, but old thing, your eyes…” Ye Qiu’s voice choked up.
“Hahaha…”
Master Longbrow laughed heartily, saying, “Not dead is good, not dead is good.”
“As for my eyes, they must have been injured by the backlash, blind is blind!”
“This poor Taoist thought I was done for this time, but it seems my life isn’t meant to end yet, by the way, where’s the Heavenly Master Seal?”
Ye Qiu searched for a while, retrieved the Heavenly Master Seal, and handed it to Master Longbrow, saying, “The Heavenly Master Seal is broken into three pieces.”
Master Longbrow held the shattered Heavenly Master Seal, sighing, “The Heavenly Master Seal is one of the treasures of our Dragon Tiger Mountain, a powerful magical artifact passed down for a thousand years, I never thought I’d break it, I hope the ancestors of Dragon Tiger Mountain won’t blame me.”
“Old thing, you’re badly injured, rest for now, I’ll treat you some more.”
Ye Qiu finished speaking and continued treating Master Longbrow.
It took a full three hours before Master Longbrow’s condition improved slightly, enough to stand and walk.
“Little rascal, since the Heavenly Killing Formation is broken, let’s go take a look at the Golden City!”
“Help this poor Taoist up.”
Ye Qiu supported Master Longbrow to stand, then slowly walked toward the Golden City.
After a while, the two stood before the Golden City.
Master Longbrow took a deep breath, saying, “This poor Taoist smells the scent of wealth, what a pity, I can’t see it.”
Ye Qiu’s heart ached again.
“Come, lead this poor Taoist inside to take a look,” Master Longbrow said.
Ye Qiu supported Master Longbrow, entering the Golden City.
The interior of the Golden City wasn’t large, about one hundred square metres, with a stone table in the centre.
On the stone table sat a square wooden box.
Nothing else was there.
Ye Qiu helped Master Longbrow to the stone table, observed for a moment, found no danger, and carefully opened the wooden box.
The next second, Ye Qiu’s expression changed drastically!
