Chapter 543: Stolen Goods

Seeing the black dot, Xia Zhongtian frowned at first, thinking that Jiang Yun’s ordeal was not over yet.

But then, his eyes widened with excitement, a hint of joy appearing at the bottom of his eyes.

Because, it wasn’t just a black dot, but a black arrow!

Xia Zhongtian’s inner conflict was finally resolved when he recognized this arrow.

This arrow is one of the Nine Devil Arrows of the Chang family!

The five major Daoist clans each have a strong foundation; the Xia family has the underground volcano, while the Chang family possesses the Nine Devil Bow.

The origin of this bow is unknown, said to be incredibly heavy and powerful, with nine arrows, each deadlier than the last.

Once the arrow is released, it never misses its target.

When all nine arrows are released together, it can shake the heavens and move the earth.

Obviously, Xia Zhongtian is not the only one trying to kill Jiang Yun.

Chang Li, the Sky Blessed Realm ancestor of the Chang family, desires to kill Jiang Yun as much as, if not more than, Xia Zhongtian.

After all, over a year ago, he was publicly embarrassed by Jiang Yun’s manipulation of his own magic powers.

Chang Li closely followed Jiang Yun’s entire process of crossing the calamity.

Therefore, seeing Jiang Yun injured despite successfully crossing the Tao Calamity, he immediately shot out the Nine Devil Arrow without hesitation.

Even though the arrow came from the distant Xirong Land, it was incredibly fast.

With a sharp sound, it flew past at an extreme speed and headed straight towards Jiang Yun standing up from the ground at the Summer Palace.

At this moment, everyone recognized the arrow and couldn’t help but feel shocked, thinking Jiang Yun wouldn’t be able to dodge it.

Although Jiang Yun saw it too, he remained calm and reached out to catch the Nine Devil Arrow with ease.

This scene left everyone gasping in disbelief.

Was Jiang Yun unaware of the Nine Devil Arrow or was he truly confident in his abilities to catch it bare-handed?

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, everyone watched in amazement as Jiang Yun’s outstretched hand firmly grabbed hold of the Nine Devil Arrow.

Despite the arrow trembling violently, Jiang Yun’s hand gripped it tightly like a vice, preventing it from breaking free.

Jiang Yun stared at the arrow, calmly saying, "Nine Devil Arrow, Chang family! It seems like your Daoist clan doesn’t want to continue. In that case, I will fulfill your wish!"

With those words, Jiang Yun flicked his hand, causing the Nine Devil Arrow to change direction and shoot straight towards Xirong Land.

It sped up, disappearing in an instant.

After releasing the Nine Devil Arrow, Jiang Yun acted as if nothing had happened, not even looking back at it. A colorful light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping him.

As the light faded, Jiang Yun vanished into thin air, leaving the stunned crowd behind.

Xia Zhongtian, quick to react, shouted, "Quickly, contact my Xia family about the Chang family…"

But before he could finish speaking, a servant ran to him and knelt down, trembling as he relayed, "Master, we just received news that Chang Li of the Chang family was shot in the forehead by the Nine Devil Arrow and is now dead!"

"What!"

Even though Xia Zhongtian heard clearly, he couldn’t believe his ears.

It wasn’t until the servant repeated the news that he snapped out of his shock, his face still showing disbelief.

Staring at where Jiang Yun had vanished, he murmured, "From now on, Xiao Village and Jiang Yun will forever be friends of my Xia family!"

As he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Jiang Yun’s voice beside him.

"Master Xia, I am grateful for your wise choice. Please do me a favor and fetch the bow from the Chang family. I am very interested in it."

Jiang Yun’s sudden voice made Xia Zhongtian shiver and a hint of fear towards Jiang Yun arose in his heart.

It turned out that every move and even his thoughts were under Jiang Yun’s watchful eye.

After standing still for a while, Xia Zhongtian clasped his hands together and bowed deeply in the direction where Jiang Yun’s voice came from, saying, "Yes!"

…

Jiang Yun had already immersed himself back into the Tianqi Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip. He looked at the scene before him and revealed a faint bitter smile, saying, "Thank you!"

Naturally, catching the Nine Devil Arrow just now and shooting Chang Li in return were all secretly assisted by the scene before him.

The current scene before him, even though his true body was still sealed, had already unlocked five Evil Suppression Seals by Jiang Yun. Therefore, even as a clone, in this world that belonged entirely to him, he was invincible.

Scene before him shook his head and said, "You are a guest from afar. If I let you die here, then I would be a very unkind host!"

"Furthermore, although Xirong Land is somewhat desolate, it is still suitable for survival. I think you can have Xiao Village and the people of Qin Village relocate there."

This seemingly simple statement from the scene before him actually meant that Xiao Village would rise quickly and have the chance to become a part of the Daoist clan.

Although they did not have any cultivators from the Sky Blessed Realm in their clan yet, with the scene before him, this powerful demon, protecting them in secret, becoming a part of the Daoist clan was just around the corner.

Jiang Yun didn’t refuse, the safety of Xiao Village had always been on his mind. Now, with Qingzhuo’s words, it was a satisfactory solution.

"I will thank the elders on behalf of Xiao family first, but now I need to focus on my training."

Blood Robe took over, saying, "Let’s train here in seclusion!"

Jiang Yun nodded and sat down cross-legged directly.

Although he was seriously injured during the Tao Calamity, the real reason for his seclusion training was to carefully study the things he took from the calamity cloud.

Inside his dantian, the green tree rooted in the Beast Forest seemed unchanged at first glance. However, its trunk was covered with numerous crooked lines, resembling strange symbols or runes.

These lines were almost transparent, barely noticeable if not observed closely.

Although Jiang Yun didn’t know yet that these were Tao Marks, since they were what the tree grabbed from the calamity cloud during the Tao Calamity, they were undoubtedly very valuable.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Yun suddenly reached out and heavily slapped the green tree with his palm.

In the violent shaking of the big tree, the Tao Marks immediately fell off and uncontrollably wandered inside Jiang Yun’s body.

Just then, a powerful force suddenly appeared in Jiang Yun’s body out of nowhere, turning into hands that quickly grabbed the Tao Marks.

This power comes from the Birthmark Seal on Jiang Yun’s back!

The strength of this seal leaves even the Blood Robe and others helpless.

However, as soon as this force touches the Tao Marks, it is immediately repelled!

This scene made Jiang Yun’s eyes sparkle!

Now he knows that the purpose of this seal is to absorb various paths, preventing him from achieving enlightenment in this lifetime.

Of course, if the seal can be broken, he can be free from its restrictions.

Initially, Jiang Yun had no idea how to deal with this seal, but now he realizes that he might be able to use these Tao Marks to break the Tao Seal.
