Xu Qing’s expression was calm. He stood in the storm and raised his right hand, grabbing gently at the place where Lan Yao had disappeared.

He grasped the void there, retrieving the traces from that place, and gathering the sounds that had once emerged from that area.

This process required a higher level of mastery of the divine authority of sound.

Although Xu Qing’s divine authority of sound had absorbed the musician of the sun’s authority and also snatched away the authority of the Spirit Sound Forbidden Region’s lord, it still hadn’t reached the level where he could plunder sound from time.

However, he had the Sundial!

The world rumbled and the phantom of the Sundial appeared where Lan Yao had disappeared. The Sundial spun, reversing time in that small area.

This lasted until Lan Yao’s figure appeared again and the only thing she said echoed again.

“You are courting death!”

The moment these four words appeared again, Xu Qing grabbed them.

After that, the Sundial blurred and everything recovered. However, in Xu Qing’s divine consciousness, these words became a mark.

He sent them into the divine authority…

At that moment, Feng Lintao’s voice and the howling of the wind landed in Xu Qing’s ears.

There was also Eldest Senior Brother’s strange voice, as well as the sound of snow falling from the sky…

There were also the sounds of everything on this snowy plain, including mutated beasts and cultivators. All of them appeared in Xu Qing’s divine consciousness at this instant.

After that, he used the mark of this sound and the authority of the sound to inquire.

He asked the wind, where could this sound be heard?

He asked all things, where did this sound exist?

He asked the heavens, where did it have memory of this sound?

He asked the earth, where did this sound trace?

The wind blowing across vast distances revealed where it could be heard.

All things infinite informed where the sound had traveled.

The sky informed where memories of it lingered.

Ultimately, the earth and snow conveyed its trace… in the north!

Countless scenes, countless sounds, the mountains and rivers of the world, the wind and snow flashed past Xu Qing’s mind until he located an ice mountain!

The surroundings of the ice mountain were hazy and there was a cave in the mountain. Lan Yao and Yue Dong were sitting cross-legged there.

Almost at the instant Xu Qing locked onto her, Lan Yao’s body trembled. Yue Dong’s eyes suddenly opened and her expression changed. She quickly performed a series of hand seals and pointed.

Immediately, an emotional fluctuation rose in Xu Qing’s heart, messing up his thoughts, disturbing his sound authority, and shaking his mind.

His sense was instantly cut off.

However, it was still a step too late. This was because Xu Qing could hear… Lan Yao’s heartbeat from this locked-on scene.

This sound combined with the mark from before.

It was enough.

“Found them.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke. He then raised his right hand and grabbed at Erniu.

Erniu chuckled and similarly grabbed the trembling soul of Feng Lintao.

After that, two people and one soul instantly disappeared.

They were enveloped by Xu Qing’s divine authority of sound and fused into the void, into all sounds.

Wherever there was a sound, it would be their warping point.

Hence, in an instant… Xu Qing, Erniu, and Feng Lintao’s soul crossed an endless range and appeared at the border between the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race and the Northern Wanggu.

The snowy storm there was even heavier. The ground was no longer covered in snow mountains but ice peaks.

The cold intent was sharp, as though even life was about to be sealed here.

In these ice peaks, one of them suddenly collapsed and shattered into pieces. Two figures rapidly flew out with solemn expressions as they sped into the distance.

They were Lan Yao and Yue Dong.

Behind them, on the collapsed ice peak, Xu Qing took a step forward and headed straight for the two women.

He appeared in Lan Yao’s heartbeat and landed on the ice peak.

He saw Lan Yao and Yue Dong.

Lan Yao was still the same, other than looking more panicked.

As for Yue Dong, her figure became even more graceful in the wind and snow. The silver wings on her back reflected the snow.

Her skin was fair and flawless, like jade. With the black robe embroidered with gold on her body, she looked like a fairy from a painting, ethereal and misty.

With brows like distant mountains, delicate and slender, her eyes were clear and bright.

However, what flowed in her watery eyes wasn’t a calm glint but a hint of darkness.

It had to be said that the two women’s appearances were both peerlessly beautiful. If they had been seen by someone lustful, they might have felt a peculiar sensation upon just one glance.

However… although they were beautiful, in Xu Qing’s understanding, beauty and ugliness weren’t important. In his eyes, people could only be divided into friends or enemies.

These two were enemies.

Hence, the instant he appeared, Xu Qing didn’t hesitate at all. His entire body shone and a large sun rose in his sea of consciousness. His entire person was like a sun, emitting endless light and heat that swept up a terrifying pressure as he approached the two women.

At this critical moment, Lan Yao’s face was pale but the dark glint in Yue Dong’s eyes was even more dazzling. She performed a series of hand seals with both hands and quickly pointed at Xu Qing.

With this gesture, Yue Dong’s ability was finally completely revealed to Xu Qing-

That was a technique that used emotions to fluctuate the target’s fate!

To a certain extent, this was actually a type of authority power and it was very special.

At that moment, after it erupted from Yue Dong, Xu Qing was the first to bear the brunt. His emotions instantly fluctuated, as though a hand had reached into his emotions, shocking him, scaring him, saddening him, and instantly stirring up his despair.

It was like a huge wave that wanted to drown everything.

What was even more astonishing was that there was anger in it!

This anger was like a starting point.

It was anger shared with Yue Dong, originating from Yue Dong.

Using this as a gap, it wanted to break into Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness!

Once it broke in, Xu Qing’s inner world would be imprinted with Yue Dong’s thoughts. His threads of fate would also weave Yue Dong’s face.

It was the same as being parasitized.

If it was before Xu Qing fought against Transient Evil, it would definitely be difficult for him to deal with Yue Dong’s ability. He would have to deal with it from many aspects and try to neutralize it.

It was really hard to guard against Yue Dong’s method.

Moreover, it was extremely difficult to deal with.

However, now… Xu Qing’s erase authority was the nemesis of Yue Dong’s ability!

At the next instant, Xu Qing’s right eye suddenly flickered with the erase authority. It was as though an invisible large hand had transformed into the power of laws that surpassed the rules and laws, wiping out everything!

Erase all the fluctuations in his emotions!

At the same time that his body instantly recovered, an ancient pair of scissors appeared above Xu Qing’s head.

It was made of bronze and emitted a primitive aura. It was covered in rust, as though it had experienced the baptism of time.

As for the tip of the scissors… they were pointed at Yue Dong!

It ruthlessly cut toward Yue Dong.

A cracking sound echoed in this icy plain.

It cut through emotions, fate, and all the threads.

It was as though a gust of wind swept past, causing the ice peaks to tremble one after another.

He broke Yue Dong’s spell.

Yue Dong’s entire body trembled and her eyes turned bloodshot. After her spell was broken, she suffered an even greater backlash. Her internal organs churned and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her expression was gloomy as she grabbed Lan Yao’s arm and retreated at full speed.

As she retreated, her body shone with the light of teleportation, as though she wanted to escape.

However, at this moment… in the void behind her, the figure of Erniu silently appeared from hiding. He licked his lips and suddenly erupted.

Erniu’s eruption shook the wind and snow in all directions, controlling all the coldness here.

At this moment, cracking sounds came from the sky. It was actually frozen.

Even the void froze.

Only Erniu’s entire body shone with blue light and countless sinister overlapping faces appeared in his eyes. His chest split open and a blue skeletal hand stretched out. It emitted coldness, greed, and madness as it grabbed at Yue Dong and Lan Yao.

Xu Qing also walked over at this instant.

The two of them were about to deal fatal blows one after another.

However, at that moment, the rune on Yue Dong’s forehead shone. Xu Qing had seen that rune before. It was the Great Emperor array mark that Yue Dong had displayed when she tried to seal Feng Lintao back then.

This imprint flashed on her body and transformed into layers of fluctuations that rapidly covered her entire body like flowing water.

It also spread out with her as the center, forming a protective barrier.

It tried to block the resistance that came from Xu Qing and Erniu.

A rumbling sound instantly shook the heavens.

Erniu’s gaze flickered. His body retreated rapidly under the counterattack but he forcefully distorted it and rushed over again, continuing to bombard the array formation.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. Although he also stopped in his tracks and his body seemed to be swept away by a violent wind, he took a few steps back. However, at the next instant, his figure disappeared and fused into the sound, appearing above Yue Dong’s array formation. The great sun shone and suppressed down.

A deafening sound spread in all directions.

That Great Emperor’s array formation wasn’t ordinary and actually blocked all of Xu Qing and Erniu’s attacks. However, it was obvious that this array formation couldn’t last long and Yue Dong, who was inside, couldn’t last long either.

At that moment, her entire body trembled violently and she spat out another mouthful of blood. Her originally beautiful face now became sinister.

Although this array formation was her defense, it had also become her cage!

Facing Xu Qing and Erniu’s attacks, one could imagine that the moment the array formation disappeared, it would be the moment of her life and death.

At this critical moment, Yue Dong’s expression was ugly. After her cold gaze swept past Xu Qing and Erniu, she suddenly raised her right hand and pressed it fiercely against the ground.

With this push, the glacier outside the array formation shattered.

One figure after another rushed out from under the cracked ice.

These figures were experts from the Flame Moon subsidiary races. At that moment, all of their eyes revealed hatred and anger. In their fate threads, Yue Dong’s face could be seen.

They were all Yue Dong’s emotion puppets.

The moment they appeared, they didn’t fear death and crazily rushed toward Xu Qing and Erniu.

It wasn’t a fight but… self-destruction!

Yue Dong relied on self-destruction of these puppets to stall the two of them.

At the same time, Yue Dong sat down cross-legged and controlled Lan Yao to sit opposite her. She pressed her hand on Lan Yao’s forehead, as though she was extracting something.

Lan Yao’s entire body trembled and her expression was filled with pain.

However, Yue Dong’s aura rose, and there were dao marks rapidly forming in her eyes.

As for the outside world, as those puppets rushed out and self-destructed, rumbling sounds shook the world. The sky rippled and the ground shattered even more. Countless cold air was swept up by the storm, causing this place to be a blur.

However, although there were many self-destructions and their might wasn’t weak, they were clearly not enough to completely stop Xu Qing and Erniu.

This was especially so for Xu Qing. The impact of these self-destructions on his body was negligible. His body emitted light and heat in the air, ignoring everything as he blasted toward the array formation where Yue Dong was again.

As the array formation fluctuated intensely, Yue Dong, who was inside, stared fixedly at Xu Qing and said her first words since the battle.

“People can’t live long because of the delusions of the Six Thieves©. The eyes see wrong, the ears hear wrong, the nose smells wrong, the mouth tastes wrong, the body moves wrong, and the mind thinks wrong, ultimately unable to return to the true essence.”

“This is the source of the seven emotions and six desires, hence the forbidden art of the immortals!”

Yue Dong’s voice was low. The moment she spoke, her entire body emitted a seven-colored light that transformed into a seven-colored storm that swept through the world.

“Today, disciple Yue Dong will use this technique to strip these two individuals of their six desires, detach them from their seven emotions, and make them my puppets!”

“Lan Yao, the daughter of the Great Emperor’s bloodline, will bear the backlash of karma and fate alone!”

“Immortal Art: Six Thieves Delusions!”

Yue Dong abruptly raised her head. She used a forbidden art to control Xu Qing and Erniu here!
