Chill, ghostly radiance suddenly burst forth.

It was, without a doubt, the power of the Yin Moon Soul Stone!

A complete, massive Yin Moon Soul Stone instantly turned to dust.

A colossal power erupted from within, illuminating Tang Xiaotang and making her freeze mid-motion, directly cursing out loud.

The mysterious figure seized the chance to reach for the Celestial Master Robe.

But unexpectedly, another figure soared into the sky, swirling with talismans like a cluster of stars—it was Yuan Mobai.

The mysterious man blocked Yuan Mobai with one hand and grabbed the Celestial Master Robe with the other.

But Yuan Mobai's form suddenly ballooned and grew larger!

This usually gentle and warm young elder of the Celestial Master Mansion, at this very moment, shed his human shell.

A massive panda, black and white, as colossal as a mountain peak, appeared above Dragon Tiger Mountain just like that.

Almost as immense as Dragon Tiger Mountain itself!

Yuan Mobai directly revealed his true form.

His physical strength, far surpassing his human shape, manifested in that instant.

Among all cultivators in the history of Dragon Tiger Mountain who achieved the Seventh Layer of Heaven Realm, a never-before-seen power of Destiny Star God erupted, enough to surpass nearly all martial arts experts in the world in raw vigor!

Violent power collided fiercely in midair.

The mysterious figure hadn't counted on this, caught off guard, and the Celestial Master Robe slipped from his grasp.

Right then, Tang Xiaotang, fiercely suppressing the power of the Yin Moon Soul Stone, also struck out with her sword.

Their three powers clashed and roared in the sky.

For an instant, even the void seemed to twist and warp.

Nine-colored radiance flashed, and the Celestial Master Robe vanished from the world.

Everyone who witnessed it was left utterly stunned.

Below Nine Stars Ridge, Lei Jun was also dazed for a moment, completely speechless.

*...Did you Celestial Masters plan it this way?*

*Taking turns for vacation?*

*Finally, after the Celestial Master Seal and Sword returned one after another, now the Robe actually flew off?!*

"...Damn it, what the hell!" Lei Jun blurted out.

Before he could finish, Lei Jun suddenly noticed a burst of glowing light.

He vaguely saw, in the forest below Nine Stars Ridge, what seemed to be nine-colored radiance flickering.

Lei Jun, seeing this, cautiously moved closer.

The nine-colored light in the woods felt exactly the same as the Celestial Master Robe's aura.

Lei Jun recalled the experiences he had when he obtained the Celestial Master Seal, as well as the fourth-rank opportunity mentioned in his lot, and suddenly understood, *

This moderately good lot's so-called tangled karma of a fourth-rank opportunity could actually be used to search for the Celestial Master Robe.*

Lei Jun took a deep breath, observed his surroundings, and seeing no one else noticed, went ahead and collected that nine-colored radiance for later study.

Gazing at the nine-colored glow, Lei Jun's eyes flickered.

He immediately set off, leaving Nine Stars Ridge behind.

At that moment, in the sky above Dragon Tiger Mountain, the mysterious man was the first to snap back.

He swept his gaze past Yuan Mobai chasing and Tang Xiaotang rushing toward the void fissure, and, saying nothing nor lingering, left at once, vanishing in an instant.

Tang Xiaotang, first of all, attempted to recover the Celestial Master Robe, but failed.

Seeing the mysterious man flee without a trace, she was so furious she could have ascended as a Buddha twice.

"Xiaotang, my dear disciple, the opponent's background is unknown and his cultivation power is strong, don't be reckless," Yuan Mobai reverted to human form, blocking Tang Xiaotang's way.

Tang Xiaotang glared round-eyed, "...I have to get something back today!"

She swept her gaze, fixing on the distant fleeing thunder light, and immediately turned herself into a streak of gold charging after it.

The one fleeing there was Li Song.

Grievously wounded, he couldn't retaliate, and could only run for his life.

But he'd tried to murder Tang Xiaotang during her secluded cultivation, earning spot number one on her must-kill list; now, enraged, she would only be satisfied with blood.

Lei Jun watched the two streaks of light—one fleeing, one pursuing—fade into the distance, his eyes flashing.

He drew his gaze away and looked up at Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The sudden turn of events left most people shell-shocked.

Li Ziyang and Li Zhengxuan, both wounded, now had no chance to contend for the Altar of Wanfa Sect, forced to retreat and depart.

Yuan Mobai descended to the Altar of Wanfa Sect and relaunched the Mountain Defense Array, making no move to pursue.

Yao Yuan, whose Yin Fire Tiger was earlier shattered by the combined attack of the Li Clan's three Yang Thunder Dragons, was now forced to rest and recover.

Li Zhengxuan headed off, flying upstream along Golden Palace Creek toward Cloud Brocade Mountain.

Li Ziyang, meanwhile, retreated toward Nine Stars Ridge.

Nine Stars Ridge wasn't far from Chongling Gorge.

Lei Jun had already arrived at the mouth of Chongling Gorge.

But didn't enter.

He was extremely wary, concealing his presence.

Guarding against both Li Ziyang and any potential dangers within Chongling Gorge.

The Teng Snake Bone had recovered its spiritual nature, turning from ashen gray to pure white.

Lei Jun now drew on both the Teng Snake Bone and the Breathing Soil Banner's spiritual powers, melding himself seamlessly into the mountains.

Then, he revealed the nine-colored radiance.

Sure enough, Li Ziyang floating above Nine Stars Ridge suddenly slowed, his gaze darting this way.

Nine Stars Ridge and Chongling Gorge were close; Li Ziyang sensed it instantly.

Lei Jun, remaining outside the gorge, advanced closer toward its interior.

But halted at the entrance.

At the same time, he unfurled the Sheltering Spirit Veil!

A gauzy mist appeared, seemingly tiny, but when spread out, it covered heaven and earth, cloaking everything within and secluding all spiritual natures inside and out.

Lei Jun fully contained the nine-colored radiance, then calmed himself, hiding with the help of Teng Snake Bone, Breathing Soil Banner, and the Sheltering Spirit Veil—three spiritual treasures.

Li Ziyang, seeing Tang Xiaotang chase after Li Song, with Yuan Mobai and Yao Yuan staying in the mountains, felt a hint of relief and turned instead to Chongling Gorge.

He vaguely sensed just now that the spiritual activity was related to the Celestial Master Robe.

*Today, the Li Clan's defeat was sealed.*

*But perhaps, there was still a chance for a comeback.*

*Whether or not he could reclaim the Celestial Master Robe—well, that would make all the difference.*
