Mantis catches cicada, yellow sparrow behind.

  Wen Tieshan let his own disciple Xue Yun openly and honestly collect the Earth Yin Pearl, while he himself hid in the dark.

  When he saw the yinlei pearl on Yunxia Xianzi's hand, he was struck as if by a thunderbolt.

  The various uses of the Yin Pearl are scattered among the different schools and factions, many people know about it, but absolutely no one knows more clearly than Wen Tieshan. In the eyes of the crowd, Wen Tieshan's origin has always been very mysterious, and everyone only knows that he comes from a small school called Tian Xiaomen. However, no one knows that this unknown Tian Xiaomen is actually a branch of the Yin Xiaomen after it split up in the past.

  The Yīn Xiǎo Gate was a renowned sect three thousand years ago, with many disciples and numerous side branches. The Yīn Xiǎo Gate was annihilated in the great war against the demons three thousand years ago, but these side branches survived. However, without the Yīn Pearl, the various techniques they learned from the Yīn Xiǎo Gate were useless, and some of the side branches declined and disappeared. Some side branches, however, actively absorbed the techniques of other sects and struggled to survive.

  The Tianxia Gate where Wenti is located is one of them.

  Tianxia Gate was a small, unremarkable sect that had dwindled down to just one person by his generation. However, Wen Tieshan was a naturally talented cultivator who managed to reach the Golden Dan stage despite the sect's unimpressive techniques. Nevertheless, having reached the Golden Dan stage, he found it difficult to make any further progress.

  So, when he saw the Yīn Léi Zhū of Cloudy Fairy, his heart was overjoyed. The origin of our sect's mental method is clear to him. Our sect records the most about the methods related to the Yīn Pearl. These unfamiliar mental methods and incantations are a hundred times more wonderful than what he has learned so far. As long as he can find the Yīn Pearl Condensation Method, he will have hope to break through the Yuan Baby period.

  For cultivators, the height of their cultivation directly determines the length of their lifespan. The Golden Elixir stage is the first watershed, and before that, the lifespan will not exceed 150 years. Once the Golden Elixir stage is broken through, one can have a lifespan of 300 years. Cultivators in the Yuan Ying stage have a lifespan of 500 years, while those in the Return to Void stage have a lifespan of up to 700 years. As for Mahayana stage cultivators, their lifespan will be at least 1,000 years.

  Wen Tieshan looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, but he was already 232 years old, and the time left to him was limited. So when he learned that someone could actually condense a yin pearl, how could he not be excited beyond measure?

  The origin of the yin pearl on Yunxia Xianzi's hand was quickly investigated, and he sent Xue Yun to boldly buy yin pearls in the free market, while he himself lurked in the dark, paying attention to suspicious characters.

  The temptation of Yin Zhu, don't mention tearing his face with Yunxia and others, even if he risks his life, he will grit his teeth and go up.

  When Zuo Mo appeared, he was excited in his heart, but he remained calm. He knew very well that the news of the Yin Pearl had spread long ago and many people were eyeing it covetously. He was like an experienced hunter, patiently waiting for the right moment to strike, able to break through the Golden Dan period with those ordinary techniques, Wen Tiandao person was not a mediocre person either.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, the situation on the scene quickly became exactly as he had anticipated, with everyone fighting each other.

  Until everyone was hitting at the most intense moment, he finally made his move!

  With his most skilled escape technique, he appeared silently behind Zuo Mo, and when his hand landed on Zuo Mo's shoulder, even with his usual composure and ruthlessness, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions!

  Wen Tie also had a strange encounter, he unintentionally obtained a volume of Earth Escape Technique during his Condensation Period, which was quite mysterious. And he also relied on this Earth Escape Technique to repeatedly escape great danger.

  He knew he had succeeded!

  "Looking for death!" The yellow-robed Taoist was the first to discover Wen Tieshan, and he suddenly let out a shrill cry. Without regard for his own battle with the opponent, he raised his hand and shot out a golden cone-shaped dart. As soon as the dart left his hand, it transformed into a beam of golden light, making a loud humming noise.

  The man in silver clothes also let out a cold snort, and a burst of silver sand, starry and speckled, shot towards Wen Tieren.

  And that dark red cord seemed to come alive, cleverly bent, and shot towards Wén Tiě with a sharp whistling sound, like a swift arrow, piercing the air!

  Another person was also in a hurry, the light of the pale blue flying sword suddenly surged, humming softly, and slashed towards Wen Tieshan!

  Four Golden Dan period experts made their move at the same time, with a momentum that shocked people and caused the heavens and earth to lose color.

  Wen Tie's expression didn't change, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he grabbed Zuo Mo's shoulder, just about to use his life-saving technique "Earth Escape", when suddenly his face changed color, and with an "ah" sound, he let out a miserable cry, quickly retreating!

  All he saw was a wisp of dark red flame on his palm, and he didn't know when it appeared.

  The flame was not large, burning quietly, but in the blink of an eye, Wen Tieshan's right palm had already become a white skeleton.

  Ahhhhh!

  A blood-curdling scream echoed through Dongfu, Wenti's pupils dilated, his face twisted in terror, he curled up into a ball and rolled around on the ground nonstop.

  This sudden change also shocked everyone else.

  Zuo Mo raised his head, stretched out his right hand, and lightly pointed at the void. A strand of dark red flames floated silently in front of him.

  The yellow-robed Taoist's golden needle, the silver-clad man's silver sand, the dark red rope, and the flying sword emitting dazzling blue light all rushed towards that dark red flame like moths to a fire.

  The faces of the four people changed greatly!

  Just now, they felt that their own magic treasures and flying swords were suddenly pulled by a huge force towards that dark red flame.

  The Wén Tiě Sàn people rolling on the ground and screaming in horror shocked everyone, the Huáng Páo Dào person's face changed greatly, and he quickly made a hand seal to try to recall the golden dart. However, the golden dart only shook twice before continuing to fly towards that wisp of flame. The silver-robed man was much smarter, and without saying a word, he hastily retreated. The mysterious expert who had used the dark red rope also reacted extremely quickly, and in an instant, the rope which had been as swift as an arrow slowed down.

  Only that flying sword emitting dazzling green light had an undiminished and even increased momentum, with a stern sword intent, full of irreversibility.

  Golden needles and silver sands, once they touch the flame, are like a mud ox entering the sea, disappearing silently in the flames.

  The cultivator who was pulling the dark red rope with all his might finally managed to stop the rope's advance, but the tip of the rope still touched that strand of flame.

  Delicious!

  A string of fire sparks shot along that rope at an astonishing speed towards the other end!

  That cultivator who had been lurking in the shadows was greatly shocked, and could no longer care about his own treasure, letting go and hastily retreating, transforming into a streak of light and fleeing in panic!

  When that spark reached the other end of the rope, a faint crackling sound was heard, and the dark red rope turned to ashes and dispersed in the air.

  A cyan flying sword emitting a fierce sword intent accurately slashed the flame in front of Zuo Mo's chest, cutting it into two without any hindrance. However, at this moment, the cultivator with eyes wide open in anger suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated hastily with an extremely shocked expression!

  Only to see that the green light flying sword had completely lost its sword intent, its body shattered inch by inch, turning into countless fragments!

  The Taoist in the yellow robe was finally shocked and lost his composure, no longer caring about anything else, and fled in a hurry.

  Suddenly, the unexpected change, the free market's hidden and exposed masters were all shocked on the spot. The rolling Wen Tieren had turned into a pile of ashes, leaving nothing behind. In just one exchange, five Golden Dan stage experts, one dead, one injured, three escaped, what kind of strength was this?

  Everyone who had looked at Mo with envy changed color, and all those who had coveted the dark pearl couldn't help but feel lucky that they hadn't made a move earlier.

  The vast free market was silent as a raven, only that one wisp of dark red flame burning quietly in front of Zuo Mo's chest.

  Zuo Mo stretched out his finger, and that strand of dark red flame transformed into a thread of fire that drilled into his fingertip.

  Xiao Huan's face was pale, her expression dazed, and she stood frozen in place. Her mind was a complete blank, and she didn't even notice Luo Mo leaving. It wasn't until much later, when she slowly came back to herself, that she saw Miss's pale face and couldn't hold back anymore. With a loud "wa", she flung herself into Miss's arms and burst out crying.

  At this moment, two dark pearls fell to the ground.

  One master and one servant, couldn't help but be stunned.

  Zuo Mo flew quickly forward, his eyes dull and without light, even the sharp smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to lose its power. He left in mid-air, no one dared to stop him, nor did anyone dare to chase after him... Hmm, not right...

  He suddenly stopped.

  A figure in white, Lin Xian appeared behind him. At this moment, Lin Xian was vastly different from the easy-going and harmless person that Zuo Mo had met before. His entire body was surging with spiritual energy, like a sharp sword unsheathed, his killing intent radiating in all directions! His expression was grave, not daring to relax even slightly, staring intently at the person in front of him who he couldn't see through.

  Zuo Mo chuckled and said, "Hehe, you're quite bold."

  The voice was icy cold, although there was laughter, it did not carry a hint of emotion. If Zuo Mo were awake, he would definitely be able to hear that this was Pu Yao's voice. Poor Zuo Mo, in the desperate situation just now, Pu Yao finally couldn't bear to lend a hand.

  Bai Yi Lin's demeanor remained unchanged, his expression cautious, ready to strike at any moment. In a low voice, he said: "Senior, your cultivation is astonishing, why not show your true face?"

  The Pú Yāo stared at Lin Qian, the smile on his face grew even thicker: "Little friend, I'm busy today and can't play with you, but don't worry, we'll have a chance to meet again." He casually threw out a sentence: "How interesting! Haha!"

  Before his words had fallen, a wisp of flame rose from beneath his feet.

  Lin Qian was taken aback for a moment, then shouted: "Hold on, senior!"

  A mocking glint flashed in Pu Yao's eyes, and with a flicker of his eyelids, he vanished into thin air.

  Lin Qianru let out a sigh of relief and stood still, only to discover that her back was already drenched in sweat. How long had it been since she'd felt this tense?

  Suddenly, his expression changed and he vanished into the wind.

  Lin Qian had just left, and a group of people in black clothes with masks on their faces arrived at the spot where they were standing. The leader suddenly came to the position where Pu Yao was standing and touched the ground with his hand: "We haven't made a mistake!"

  In a few words, dense joy was revealed, but soon regretted: "Unfortunately, we were one step late!"

  The crowd in black clothes suddenly became quiet for a moment, but no one spoke.

  "I've been wondering all along, what are you all looking for?"

  The faint voice fell into the ears of this group of black-clad men, but it was like a thunderclap on a clear day. Everyone's face changed drastically, and they turned around abruptly.

  Bai Yi Lin Qian stepped forward, one step at a time, approaching them: "Can you all tell me, who was that senior just now?"

  His expression was calm and serene, but between his eyebrows, a sharp sword-like intent was lurking.
