"It can indeed be done!" Xu Feiniang said while waving the treasure sword. "What a pity that we don't have a refining sword furnace or the tools to repeatedly forge it. Otherwise, by forging, we could thoroughly melt the Geng Metal Essence into the blade's interior, merging it as one. Then, applying the Gang Sha Qi from the outside, and using our Wutai Sect's secret methods of sacrificial refinement, it would only take three days and nights to give birth to a Geng Metal Sword Evil in this sword!"

Fan Zi was very excited when he heard this. His Golden Saber couldn't yet produce the Great Sun Sword Evil and he would need to spend decades collecting True Sun Fire. Just moments ago, he had seen True Sun Fire for sale in the West Market and the price had cooled his heart by half— thirty thousand Dragon Coins for just a cluster of True Sun Fire. Considering the other materials as well, he would need at least a million Dragon Coins to fully refine the Great Sun Gold Saber.

As for this newly-refined Flying Sword, if he were to collect the materials himself and refine it bit by bit, it would take at least eight or nine years without spending a decade on it. But here it was now, completed in just half a day's work!

Xu Feiniang said, "We must find a way to earn more Dragon Coins to buy more materials for refining treasures. Ten years could be better than a hundred years of hard work. Many treasures, almost impossible to refine as described in Daoist books, can be completed in a very short time. To defeat the Emei Sect, we have to rely on this method."

Fan Zi nodded like a pecking chick, "What the master says is right!"

Xu Feiniang was about to say something else when suddenly her expression changed and she said, "The battle has begun!" And hurried outside.

In the sky outside, vast swathes of clouds were tinged with a dull yellow. In the west, at the source, there was an orange ball the size of a bowl, looking like the fiery clouds produced by a setting sun about to dip below the horizon.

The "fiery cloud" shrouded almost half the sky, descending rapidly as if wanting to envelop the entire Mingyu Immortal Market and the surrounding area.

Fan Zi exclaimed, "That smoke is poisonous!"

Xu Feiniang nodded, "It's the Heavenly Plague Ball."

"Heavenly Plague Ball?" Fan Zi couldn't quite believe it. "Could it be the one used by the Golden Needle Saint Mother back in the day?"

"The Heavenly Plague Ball is a Magical Treasure from side paths, and there are not a few who can refine it."

Fearing, Fan Zi said, "If that Plague Poison Qi falls here, everyone will die. Master, are you going to take action?"

"Mm," Xu Feiniang responded affirmatively but made no move.

At that moment, a Treasure Bead rose from the west, with stars swirling inside and a myriad of colors flashing outside.

As soon as the treasure appeared, everyone felt as if their blood surged in the direction of that Treasure Bead!

"Such a powerful Dragon Ball!" Xu Feiniang murmured in amazement, "Worthy of being capable of pacifying Outer Heaven Divine Mountain and making tens of thousands of monsters submit to the Dragon Emperor."

In fact, Shi Feiyang did not like to use the Dragon Ball lightly; it was a treasure crucial to his life, which he wouldn't easily display unless it was absolutely necessary. However, the Heavenly Plague Ball in the sky was also a unique treasure, capable of releasing myriad streaks of Plague Poison Qi. Energized by immense mana, it could plague and kill the inhabitants of a city within the duration of a meal.

Even if the plague did not immediately result in death, the condition would worsen over several days, and it could spread among the population. Even just a single wisp of the yellow mist falling to the Human World could lead to the death of a vast number of creatures.

Therefore, Shi Feiyan had resorted to using the Dragon Ball right from the start, absorbing all the Plague Poison Qi from the skies and then forcefully assimilating it.

All the yellow dust converged towards the Dragon Ball, including the Heavenly Plague Ball hanging high in the clouds, which was drawn in, wobbling and on the verge of falling.

The caster let out an angry roar, manifesting from within the clouds. He was a Daoist with a peculiar appearance, who shouted loudly, "The little beast who killed my disciple, come out and face your death quickly!"

Shi Feiyang knew that this person was the master of Qi Zhang, the Daoist who had been trapped by Zhu Zaiyu's scheme and then killed by Zhu Changyuan's own hand. His name was Bing Rong, the Divine Monarch of Red Twilight.

Back in the day at Zhongtiao Mountain, there were six cultivators from minor and heterodox paths, each bearing the title of Divine Monarch. Later on, they provoked Master Changmei, agreed to a duel, and even set up an array to ambush him with six against one. However, Master Changmei broke through the array and, with the Green Rope Sword, cut down five in a single breath. Only Bing Rong, who saw the situation and fled early, ultimately escaped with his life.

Over the years, he had been hiding, cultivating in secret, and had not emerged until Master Changmei's ascension. Only then did he occasionally come out to roam.

When his disciple Qi Zhang went missing, he did a divination and the Gua Xiang indicated that he had died from excessive indulgence, on a woman's belly.

Bing Rong was annoyed and thought some shameless, lowly succubus had drained his disciple dry. He persisted in divining and searching.

Last year, he captured the soul-chasing Lady Ni Lanxin and brought her back to Zhongtiao Mountain for interrogation. Ni Lanxin used the Transforming Vajra Soul-shattering Great Method, which instead made Bing Rong frantic. If not for his profound Dao level and well-cultivated Primordial Spirit, he would have nearly been overthrown by her. However, her soft skin and tender flesh were imprinted deeply in his mind, and her sweet whispers echoed in his ears; he could not bear to torture her.

After Bing Rong realized he had captured the wrong person, Ni Lanxin, who had never met his disciple, should have been released, but he could not bear to let her go...

While he was struggling with this, Ni Lanxin's master, Lady Tianyao, came to rescue her disciple. In the ensuing confrontation, Lady Tianyao could not defeat Bing Rong and was trapped within the Black Evil Flag. During the fight, she also used the Transforming Vajra Soul-shattering Great Method, which was far more powerful than her disciple's. Bing Rong nearly lost control on the spot and she seized the opportunity to escape.

Bing Rong could no longer endure and dealt with Ni Lanxin in the cave. Just as he was turning heaven and earth upside down, Lady Tianyao came back with help—the Daoist Huang Zhong.

Once, Shi Feiyang sent Yuan Hua to Dongting Mountain to obtain Liu Lugen's "Inner View Primordial Sect" from the Green-haired True Master. Huang Zhong and Lady Tianyao happened to be present and tried to snatch the Daoist books and treasures. They fell into the trap set by Ancestor Jiaotai and lost their virtue, causing their mana to regress and suffer damage.

Later, the two decided to become a couple and started practicing Yin Yang dual cultivation. Over the decades, not only did they restore their damaged mana, but they also advanced rapidly, far surpassing their former selves.

Of course, Lady Tianyao was accustomed to being promiscuous and would often hook up with attractive men she fancied... After having her fun, she would return to live the married life with Huang Zhong. Then, when bored, she would venture out again.

Daoist Huang Zhong knew what she was doing outside and turned a blind eye, quietly continuing his cultivation. His mana had always been stronger than Lady Tianyao's, and he pulled even further ahead with time.

This time Lady Tianyao sought out Daoist Huang Zhong for help, and he agreed to meet with Bing Rong, telling him, "Your disciple wasn't harmed by Lanxin. My divination points to the east, seemingly related to the royal family."

With this hint from him, Bing Rong flew eastward, inquiring and divining along the way. Finally, he figured it out, filled with hatred. He had been secretly observing and plotting for a long time and now finally made his move to avenge his disciple.

Shi Feiyang then had Zhu Changyuan enter the battle.

Zhu Changyuan, unafraid, grew a pair of large wings on his back, spreading them wide like a roc. He made a sword technique with his hands and manipulated two Pure Yang Immortal Swords to meet Bing Rong's Red Yin Flying Fork.

Bing Rong's mana had greatly improved compared to the time he encountered Master Changmei, and his Red Yin Flying Fork was powerful enough to suppress the two Pure Yang Immortal Swords.

When this Flying Fork was released, it was red, like an iron fork heated red-hot in a furnace, with an invisible Yin Fire burning on its surface. Ordinary Flying Swords would melt into molten iron upon contact, and even the mightier ones, if entangled even for a bit, would be tainted and lose their radiance.

A red line entwined with two white rainbows, twisted together, bursting with crackling explosions and scattering sparks everywhere.
