Qing Tan, who had transformed into a green light, quickly rushed towards the pillar that had yet to place the Nine Feather Token in. Just as he approached the pillar and was about to place the token in the groove, three figures suddenly appeared in the valley. They were three ruddy old men.
After which, the three of them each struck out towards Qing Tan, and before Qing Tan could place the medallion into the groove, the attack arrived. Then, the three people all struck out at Qing Tan, and before Qing Tan could place the medallion into the groove, the attack arrived.
Afterwards, the three elders appeared in a flash in front of the pillar and coldly stared at Qing Tan who had turned into a green light. Xue He saw the appearance of the three elders and immediately rejoiced, "Haha, the three elders came at the right time. It was this kid and that bastard that wanted to snatch the Nine Feather Token, and these damned rogue cultivators actually dared to join hands to make an enemy of our Qian He Clan."
Many of the rogue cultivators' expressions changed when they heard this. This was because these three elders were at the seventh tribulation. One of the elders coldly said to Qing Tan: "Hand over the Nine Feather Token and this old man might be able to leave you a complete corpse."
"Tsk tsk, three Seven Calamity Rogue Immortals. It seems like your Thousand Crane Clan is determined to obtain the Nine Feather Token?" However, this old man has been planning for so many years, so no matter what, I cannot let my hard work go to waste. In half an incense's time, this old man would like to see if you can stop this old man. " Qing Tan coldly laughed.
"A mere monster dares to be so arrogant?! You're simply courting death!" The leader of the three old men immediately shouted out in anger.
"Cut the crap. Come, use any means you have. This old man will take it." Qing Tan was also furious. Soon after, all of the green fur on her body grew out, transforming into a strange green hair as she coldly stared at the three elders.
"Secret Art of Green Demon Transformation? You are the Tree Race's Patriarch? Weren't you already dead? " The blood crane shouted in anger when it saw this.
Qing Tan did not reply to his words and started to mumble. The old man in the lead sneered when he saw this: "A mere Tree Race dares to make our Thousand Crane Clan an enemy? Then, this old man and the rest will kill you first before destroying the Tree Race." As the old man spoke, he activated his technique and sent a huge palm strike straight towards Qing Tan.
Upon seeing this, the other two old men did not delay any further, simultaneously using their own techniques to attack Qing Tan. The green hair monster Qing Tan saw the arrival of the three attacks, his eyes flashed with green light, he opened his mouth wide and suddenly inhaled, then the three techniques were actually directly swallowed by Qing Tan.
However, the moment he swallowed the attacks of the three old men, he let out an angry roar. He spat out a mouthful of green liquid and glared at the three old men. Seeing this, the elder in the lead sneered, "Hmph, do you think that the three of us can so easily absorb your power? Our Thousand Crane Spiritual Transformation Art is able to absorb your power into your body and turn it into an attack. Die."
This time, Qing Tan did not continue to absorb the attack, but instead directly formed a protective shield all over her body, completely blocking the three attacks. However, it was after all, an attack from three Seven Calamity Rogue Immortals, how could it be so easy to deal with.
When Xue He and the others saw that the three elders of the Thousand Crane Clan were already victorious, they cast their gazes towards Ye Tian. Following which, under the instructions of the blood crane, the other cultivators rushed forward and attacked Ye Tian.
Ye Tian, who was watching Qingtan fight with the three elders, saw Xue He and the others coming over and angrily cursed at them. He then stepped forward to face them. As for the other experts and rogue cultivators, after seeing the appearance of the Thousand Crane Clan's Seven Calamity Rogue Immortal, they all quieted down and obediently watched the battle. Some of the rogue cultivators had already slipped away out of fear of the Thousand Crane Clan's revenge.
Although Ye Tian had displayed his Demonic God Physique, the Thousand Crane Clan had numerous experts. In addition, even though the Blood Crane was only at the late stage of Soul Formation, its attacks were fierce and its speed was extremely fast. Ye Tian couldn't resist it for a moment and was forced to retreat several steps.
As for the three old men, after they forced back Qing Tan, they rushed forward and began to gang up on her. Although Qing Tan's Green Demonification Tactics was very powerful, these three Seven Calamity Rogue Immortals were also very powerful, directly pushing Qing Tan further and further away from the pillar. When Qingtan saw this, she was instantly infuriated. She then heard him angrily shout: "Green Demon Protection!" Soon after, Qing Tan's body suddenly grew several times larger. Her two legs turned into sharp claws, directly sweeping away the three people, before quickly dashing towards the pillar.
Upon seeing this, the three of them roared out repeatedly, and the three elders simultaneously launched their spells in a triangular formation. A silver beam of light instantly struck Qing Tan, but they did not hear her cry out, as the three of them saw Qing Tan about to approach the pillar, and hurriedly used the Thousand Crane Clan's innate skill, Shifting Shift, instantly changing the positions between Qing Tan and the three of them.
By the time Qing Tan had reacted, it was already too late. The three of them attacked each other, forcing Qing Tan to dodge.
"You three old ghosts really deserve to die. You really infuriate this old man." Qing Tan shouted in fury.
"Hmph, you want to risk your life to place the token in the groove and then rely on the pillar to protect the person who placed the token to avoid our attack, that is wishful thinking. I advise you to give up the Nine Feathers Token and I will leave you with an intact corpse." The old man in the lead sneered.
"So you were able to obtain protection just by inserting the token into the groove. That damnable old fogey Qingtan actually chose not to tell me at the start." Ye Tian, who was dodging to the side, cursed in his heart when he heard this.
"Hmph, if you don't let me in, then I'll bring my badge and escape. When the time comes, no one can enter." Qingtan coldly snorted upon hearing this.
"You dare? You're courting death." Hearing this, all the experts from the other clans became anxious and shouted in anger.
"Hehe, either you get the three old ghosts of the Thousand Crane Clan to give way, or I leave with my command medallion and scatter it with no one thinking of obtaining any benefits." Qing Tan chuckled.
"Qingtan, if you do this, you won't think about your Treant Tribe. If you know that you have angered our large clans, wouldn't your Treant Tribe have a good ending?" Ming Cang Yue shouted with a dark expression.
Humph, Treant, this old man has nothing to do with you. I'm not a Treant now, so just go ahead and kill me if you want to. Stop wasting your breath and let me in. Qing Tan coldly snorted.
When Cang Yue heard this, she remained silent for a while before clasping her hands at the three elders from the Thousand Crane Clan, "Seniors, what should we do? We can't harm the interests of our other eight great clans because of this.
"Your interests cannot be lost, should we, the Qianhe clan, lose our interests?" One of the old men immediately shouted out in anger.
"Forget it, let him in." The old man in the lead waved his hand.
"Hehe, that's right. It would have been great if I had been like this earlier." Qingtan laughed when she heard this.
"Old monster Qing Tan, my Thousand Crane Clan will specifically wait here for you to come out. I hope that you can continue being so arrogant at that time." The old man in the lead threatened.
"There's no need for you to worry about that." As Qing Tan spoke, she let the three elders pass by and flew towards the pillar. As for Xue He and the others, they were originally besieging Ye Tian. Now that they saw the three elders yield, they all stopped. Their eyes revealed a look of unwillingness.
"Hehe, this old man will go in first to help you get lucky. Thousand Crane Clan will definitely greet you well, I hope you are still alive when this old man comes out." Qing Tan walked to the front of the pillar, turned her head and smiled to Ye Tian.
However, just when everyone thought that Qing Tan was about to place the token in, her body suddenly exploded with a 'bang'. A huge silver crane flew out from her body, leaving a huge hole in her chest.
Immediately, Qingtan's aura became abnormally sluggish. Upon seeing this, the three old men hurriedly executed their incantation and shouted out: "Thousand Crane Swallowing Spirit." Soon after, the giant silver crane turned its head and pecked at Qing Tan. A green light flew out from Qing Tan's body and was swallowed by the silver crane.
"This old man will go all out for you." Qingtan's voice came from the stomach of the silver crane, and soon after, a loud sound rang out. Qing Tan's body and the silver crane exploded at the same time, and that Nine Feather Token, perhaps on purpose, actually flew directly towards Ye Tian, with Ye Tian's consciousness grabbing the Nine Feather Token in his hands.
The instant the silver crane exploded, the three elders spat out a mouthful of blood. When the Nine Feather Dictum landed in Ye Tian's hands, they coldly stared at him, and the old man in the lead wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said to Ye Tian with a dark expression, "Call out the Nine Feather Dictum. This old man will let you leave, otherwise Qingtan will be your role model."
Ye Tian hearing this did not immediately reply, he was silent for a moment before raising his head and saying: "Humph, I'm afraid that if I hand over the Nine Feathers Command, I will be killed by your hands at the very first moment, there isn't much time left, how about this, let me in, and all the treasures I get will belong to your Thousand Crane Clan, and your Thousand Crane Clan must swear on your heart demon to not make things difficult for me once you come out, otherwise I won't have the ability of that Qing Tan, to safely escape under the beatings of three Seven Calamities Rogue Immortals."
I'll let you in. In your dreams, what do I do if you don't hand the treasure over to our Thousand Crane Clan? You have to know that after the Nine Heavens Dao Palace closes, the people inside will be sent to all parts of the valley. Upon hearing this, the Blood Crane immediately refused.
"I can swear on my heart demon as well." Ye Tian directly replied.
"The three elders don't bother with this fellow's nonsense. They directly killed him to seize the Nine Feather Token. There's not much time left right now." The blood crane urged.
When the three elders heard this, they looked at each other and instantly released all of their energy. A huge pressure locked onto Ye Tian, making it so that he couldn't move at all. Afterwards, the three of them directly appeared in front of Ye Tian in a flash, attacking his spirit, throat, chest and three vital spots.
Ye Tian saw this and panicked. He never thought that these three elders would actually use their auras to suppress him and then kill him in one strike. However, just as Ye Tian was about to lose all hope, a black long sword suddenly appeared in front of him, forcing the three of them to retreat.
Seeing the black sword in front of him, Ye Tian felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't recall where he had seen it before. At this moment, the old man in the lead angrily shouted, "Fellow Daoist, why are you stopping my Thousand Crane Clan?"
"Since he has the Nine Feather Token, he should be the one to enter the Nine Heavens Dao Mansion. Your Thousand Crane Clan should leave." At this moment, the silhouette of a woman appeared. The crowd looked up and saw that a woman in black, wearing a mask, had appeared in the air above them.
"Hmph, who are you? You even dare to interfere in my Thousand Crane Clan's matters." One of the old men shouted at the woman.
"Asura?" Ye Tian looked at the woman standing in the air and said in surprise. He never thought that the Asura would appear to help him. However, upon seeing that the attacks of the three Loose Immortals of the Seven Tribulations had been shattered by the Shura, Ye Tian immediately let out a sigh of relief.
"Hmph, Thousand Crane Clan, what kind of status do you two have to dare speak to me like that? Open your eyes wide and look at what this is?" The originally calm Asura coldly snorted.
He then tossed out a talisman to the leader of the seven Celestial Immortals. Upon receiving it, the old man took a look and saw that it was a blood-red talisman with the words' Bloodmoon 'carved onto it.
The other two elders, upon seeing this, looked at each other with doubt in their eyes. Soon after, they saw the seven tribulations Rogue Immortal, the leader of the group, respectfully fly to the Asura and return the token to the Asura. He then bowed and said, "I am the Thousand Crane Clan's elder, He Qianli has apologized to the envoy.
"Scram." The Shura said impolitely.
The Seven Calamity Scattered Immortal Crane quickly returned to the ground, as if it had received amnesty. It then instructed the cultivators of the Thousand Crane Clan, "Let's go."
"Elder, we ?" The blood crane said somewhat unwillingly.
When He Qianli saw this, he immediately slapped the blood crane's face and said furiously: "Useless thing, hurry up and leave, do you want to die?" Everyone was stunned when they saw this. They never imagined that the black clothed woman would be so domineering. She had scared the Thousand Crane Clan's Seven Calamities Rogue Immortal to the point that his butt was wet with urine. Ye Tian didn't think that this Asura would have such power.
"Since you've obtained the token, why aren't you entering? What are you waiting for?" The Shura saw that Ye Tian was still in a daze, so he said this in a bad mood. Ye Tian immediately reacted when he heard this. He quickly stepped forward and placed the Nine Feather Token into the groove of its defense.
Just as Ye Tian had his Nine Feather Token's defenses caved in, the nine pillars suddenly glowed with a bright silver light. Ye Tian could only see a white light flashing from each pillar, enveloping the cultivator with the token in front of each pillar.
After that, the nine pillars emitted a silver light and turned into a huge door. The door was about the same height as the previous pillar, and with a flash of silver light, the youths of the various clans walked in with faces full of joy. Ye Tian, seeing this, turned his head to look at the Shura and also walked in.
When the rogue cultivators saw this, they chose to leave, some stayed behind like the other experts from the other clans, but no one knew what they were thinking, and after that Blood Crane was slapped away by He Qianli, the group was already on their way back to the Thousand Crane Clan.
The eyes of the blood crane flickered with a blood-colored light as it spoke to He Qianli, "Third elder, you are getting more and more impudent. Not only did you not tell anyone about the Nine Feather Dictum, you even dared to make a move against it. I will definitely report this matter to my father when we return."
"Hmph, give up to someone else? This old man will tell you what happened, even the clan leader has his own reasons. If it weren't for my cleverness, my Thousand Crane Clan would have been in a dire situation. Is that person someone we can afford to provoke? If anything goes wrong, our Thousand Crane Clan will be annihilated in an instant. " He Qianli snorted coldly.
"Third elder, what is that person's background? Why are you so afraid?" One of the old men said.
"You can't say it. You only need to know that the power that that person represents is not one that we can provoke. Even the Eastern Emperor Mountain is unwilling to easily offend that power. Do you understand now?" He Qianli then flew forward by himself, leaving everyone dumbstruck.
"Hmph, what power is stronger than the overlord of the Demon Area, the Eastern Emperor Mountain? I will definitely report this to father. " Xue He snorted coldly as he led the group towards the Thousand Crane Clan encampment.
