The screams of Mao Changan followed.
...
Suddenly, faced with the unexpected turn of events, Mao Changan reacted swiftly, disregarding his injured body...
He immediately deployed several magical artifacts, temporarily controlling the Nascent Soul stage Corpse Vine.
In the next second, he was filled with terror and began to flee for his life.
He didn't have much time left.
If he were cornered, the group of people whose eyes had turned red behind him would have eaten him alive.
At this moment, his mind was filled with a single thought: escape, escape from here, and get as far away as possible.
...
However, it was precisely this brief delay that allowed Mao Changan to be caught up.
"Hahaha, running... why aren't you running anymore..."
"I knew you were up to no good, so I arranged for the Wu family's Nascent Soul stage Corpse Vine to guard the entrance."
"No matter how cunning you are, you'll still end up drinking my grandfather's foot-washing water."
Wu Jian, seeing this, chuckled triumphantly.
...
On the other side, Wu Jian spoke even more arrogantly, "Kid, only our Wu family is qualified to possess treasures like the Crystal of Laws."
"Be sensible and throw the Crystal of Laws over here, and perhaps we'll consider sparing your dog's life."
Of course, these were just empty threats. No one was willing to surrender meekly unless they were truly at their wit's end.
...
Although the others remained silent, their gazes were fixed on Mao Changan.
They gradually closed in, looking at Mao Changan with predatory eyes.
Mao Changan's face was pale, whether from anger or his injuries, it was hard to say.
If it weren't for the interference of the Wu family's Nascent Soul stage Corpse Vine, he would have long since disappeared with the Crystal of Laws.
Surrounded by the crowd, Mao Changan gritted his teeth and, as if a thought had crossed his mind, let out a cold laugh.
He casually tossed the Crystal of Laws in his hand into the air and, amidst the ensuing chaos, fled the scene.
Although the others resented Mao Changan for using them, faced with the treasure, they couldn't afford to hold grudges and immediately scrambled for the Crystal of Laws in mid-air.
Ma Nanning was the fastest. His right hand was inches away from grabbing the Crystal of Laws.
However, from behind him, Xiong Tongtian appeared silently.
"Brother Ma, this item is not something your old bones can handle. Hurry and step aside."
As Xiong Tongtian spoke, he unleashed a punch.
...
Xiong Tongtian's massive fist, imbued with immense power, roared as it descended towards the back of Ma Nanning's head.
If Ma Nanning still intended to snatch the Crystal of Laws, he would immediately have his head crushed by Xiong Tongtian's punch.
Even if he survived, he would end up with his Nascent Soul being forced out of his body.
...
Ma Nanning sneered at this, and with a flick of his wrist, a crimson-orange artifact-level shield emerged.
As soon as the shield appeared, it protected Ma Nanning's back. Regardless of anything else, it should have no problem blocking Xiong Tongtian's punch.
However, this brief delay of a few seconds allowed others to act, and Ma Nanning lost his best chance to obtain the Crystal of Laws.
"Boom!!!"
Xiong Tongtian's fist slammed heavily onto the shield. Crimson-orange light surged incessantly, but ultimately, it blocked the punch.
...
"Hahahaha, Brother Ma, you've been stuck at the early Nascent Soul stage for hundreds of years. I presume your spiritual root aptitude is limited, and you'll never be able to advance to higher realms in this lifetime..."
"Instead of struggling pathetically, why not give this opportunity to me?"
Pang Wei sneered at Ma Nanning while moving with extreme speed. His right hand shot out like lightning, snatching the Crystal of Laws.
...
A cold glint flashed in Ma Nanning's eyes. Although he wasn't skilled in close-quarters combat, he could still exchange a few blows.
He lifted his right leg and delivered a sweeping kick, hitting Pang Wei.
Taking a solid kick, Pang Wei's lips oozed a trace of blood. He managed to tumble in the air, halting his downward momentum.
"This item is mine!"
Ji Nian'an's figure also appeared in front of Pang Wei at this moment, reaching out with both hands to grab the Crystal of Laws.
...
"Brother Ji, don't speak rashly until you've obtained the item. This belongs to our Wu family."
It wasn't until the very end that Wu Jian and Wu Jian, working together, snatched the Crystal of Laws from Pang Wei...
Ma Nanning, his face contorted with anger, his eyes bloodshot, detonated an artifact in his hand shaped like a silver hook.
"Bang bang bang....."
Several shattering sounds echoed. Upon seeing his action, Ji Nian'an was instantly terrified and, without warning anyone else, transformed into a streak of light and fled in the opposite direction.
On the other side, Pang Wei was about to do something to Wu Jian and Wu Jian,
when his peripheral vision caught sight of Ma Nanning's actions.
He fled even more directly, turning and running, abandoning everything.
"Hmph, no one but me will get this Crystal of Laws. Explode, Silver Dragon Jade Hook!"
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
A series of explosions sounded.
Except for Wu Jian and Wu Jian, the other individuals dodged.
Wu Jian and Wu Jian did not dodge.
With their combined strength, plus the Wu family's Nascent Soul stage Corpse Vine, even if they took a blow from the artifact's explosion, they wouldn't die immediately. At most, they would be injured.
To acquire a priceless Crystal of Laws at the cost of injury, anyone could do the math.

...
As expected, even with the self-detonation of the artifact, under the protection of the Wu family's Nascent Soul stage Corpse Vine, Wu Jian and Wu Jian only suffered minor injuries.
"Quick, stop them!"
Ji Nian'an's face suddenly turned ferocious as he roared.
...
However, at this moment, everyone was too far from the tomb's entrance...
The speed of Wu Jian, Wu Jian, and the Nascent Soul stage Corpse Vine was incredibly fast. Caught off guard, no one managed to stop them.
Just then, Mao Changan, who had been lurking behind the door, joined his index and middle fingers, releasing spiritual energy. A green finger force shot out.
Wu Jian immediately countered with a palm strike!
Then, with a "boom!", the two immensely powerful spiritual energies collided, followed by a thunderous sound!
...
In the next second, Mao Changan, Pang Wei, Xiong Tongtian, Ma Nanning, and Ji Nian'an, attacking from front and back, all rushed towards Wu Jian and Wu Jian.
"Hand over the Crystal of Laws. He is mine."
After exchanging a blow with Wu Jian, Mao Changan said with intense hatred.
...
Meanwhile, the Wu family's Nascent Soul stage Corpse Vine swept out, directly attacking Mao Changan!
Mao Changan let out a cold snort, and his body twisted in mid-air, shifting laterally five paces.
The Nascent Soul stage Corpse Vine's attack missed.
...
Enraged, the Nascent Soul stage Corpse Vine's form swelled, and its thorns flew out, striking Mao Changan again.
Mao Changan turned his body, wielding the Feng Shui Wonder Stick, and struck back.
As the thorns and the stick collided, fierce winds howled, and spiritual energy filled the air.
The sharpness of the overflowing energy was unimaginable.
...
Mao Changan's robes billowed, clearly indicating he was about to get serious.
He activated his domain, and with both hands, he struck out, forming the Feng Shui Wonder Realm Seal with hand seals of ten fingers.
Immediately, four Feng Shui wondrous beasts appeared behind him: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
The four Feng Shui wondrous beasts intercepted the Nascent Soul stage Corpse Vine mid-flight.
This was not all. A pale green mist began to emanate from Mao Changan, engulfing everything around him.
The greatest difference between a Feng Shui Master and a Feng Shui Grandmaster is the integration with Feng Shui, borrowing the power of heaven and earth to attack the enemy.
Moreover, after integrating with Feng Shui, Feng Shui Grandmasters develop a special ability that varies from person to person.
This ability is ever-changing and difficult to fathom. Cultivating to this stage is only one step away from the highest realm of Feng Shui.
Mao Changan said in a deep voice, "Wu Jian, Wu Jian, put down the Crystal of Laws immediately, or do not blame me for being ruthless!"
Wu Jian and Wu Jian responded with a sneer, clearly not believing Mao Changan could pose a threat to them!
The pale green mist transformed into spiritual energy swirling like small knives, instantly turning into a continuous streak of green light that slashed forward!
"First-grade Feng Shui Divine Ability: Blade of Fate and Fortune!"
As they defended against Mao Changan's divine ability, Wu Jian and Wu Jian said, "Brother Mao, if we met you alone, we would naturally be wary of your Feng Shui techniques..."
"Unfortunately, now that we are working together, our combat power far surpasses yours!"
With that said, the aura of Wu Jian and Wu Jian intensified, a thick spiritual energy rising from above their heads like smoke. Their two domains unfolded, showing a subtle tendency to merge.
Although Mao Changan's Feng Shui secret techniques were powerful, under the suppression of the combined divine ability unleashed by two early Nascent Soul stage cultivators, he wouldn't be defeated, but regaining the Crystal of Laws from them would be akin to a fool's dream.
"Brother Mao, brother is here to lend you a hand!"
Pang Wei, seeing this, showed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth before speaking, a sharp glint flashing in his deep eyes.
...
Pang Wei patted his storage bag and took out a Starfall Treasure Pagoda.
Instantly, streams of starlight descended, and the Starfall Treasure Pagoda appeared above Wu Jian and Wu Jian!
Pang Wei channeled his spiritual energy, his domain fully unleashed, and a massive amount of spiritual energy poured into the Starfall Treasure Pagoda, suppressing Wu Jian and Wu Jian firmly.
"Hmph!" "Hmph!"
Two cold snorts were heard!
Wu Jian and Wu Jian were also preparing to fight seriously and go all out.
Wu Jian transformed into a golden sun, emitting immensely domineering extreme yang power, while Wu Jian transformed into a crescent moon, from which endless extreme yin power emanated.
