I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"You may be a Master of Domain, but your power is too dispersed and far-flung, much too weak. Other Minor Heaven and Earth Masters might be trapped by you, but you can't trap me."

"With my sword, creating an opening is more than sufficient."

Xu Yan was not flustered at all. In an instant, he appeared in front of the approaching blood light, and the Heaven-defying Sword Intent emerged with him.

Divine Skills, Heaven-defying Sword!

With a single slash, the blood light, like a layer of blood film, was instantly cleaved open. Xu Yan seized the opportunity to escape as the light began to heal.

"How fierce, how overbearing that sword is!"

Muxiao became serious.

It was precisely because of the ferociousness of this sword, which also possessed an immensely powerful annihilating force, that it could create a fissure for escape through a tap.

In the Taicang Domain, there has never been such a powerful Sword Dao.

"No wonder you are so confident. You indeed have the right to be, as those worthless Domain Masters of the Divine Temple naturally can't do anything to you. Pity you've met me!"

Muxiao's expression grew a shade more serious.

"That same phrase, leave her, and I can pretend I never met you."

Xu Yan's expression was solemn. He dared not be careless, as after all, Muxiao was one of the Seven Great Domain Masters, an opener of worlds and a true Master of Domain.

Like Muxiao, those Masters of Domain from Imperishable Temple could be called False Masters of Heaven and Earth.

"You, Muxiao, have such strength. You alone could suppress your Taicang, which is mighty indeed. But you've lost. How powerful must the Lord of the Imperishable Temple be?"

Xu Yan sighed, but then chuckled lightly, "If it were Taicang, with my current strength, I'm afraid there would be no chance to escape. But you, Muxiao, are still lacking."

Muxiao's face darkened instantly, "If you insist on courting death, I can oblige you!"

"Hey, catch me if you can."

Xu Yan chuckled, wrapping Ming Yu and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Divine Skills, One Thought Traceless!

Muxiao's expression hardened, and he too disappeared instantly. Although Xu Yan had fled without a trace, leaving no clues, Muxiao, as a Master of Domain, was naturally able to pursue the direction in which Xu Yan had escaped.

Xu Yan, using the Vanishing Thought Divine Ability, fled into the Land of Imperishable. And behind him, Muxiao was closely pursuing him.

"Muxiao, I'm curious, how did you come to pledge allegiance to the Imperishable Temple, and why would they accept you, a Master of Domain?"

As Xu Yan fled, he inquired curiously.

Muxiao didn't answer, only his expression darkened further as his speed suddenly increased, a faint blood light swirling around him.

"You can't catch up with me."

Xu Yan seemed indifferent, his speed also suddenly increased, maintaining the distance beyond Muxiao's reach.

"That great battle back then, how did Taicang fall, how did you survive? Why would that figure from the Imperishable Temple shelter you?"

Xu Yan continued to ask.

Muxiao's speed increased even more, but he found that Xu Yan also accelerated, maintaining a safe interval between them.

It meant that Xu Yan hadn't used his full strength.

"I notice that the Qi of Heaven and Earth on you seems to have disappeared; you are no longer a pure Master of Domain. Have you depleted your Domain Qi, or was it taken from you?"

Xu Yan asked nonchalantly as he fled.

Muxiao's expression grew increasingly dark.

Suddenly, a burst of blood-colored light surged around Muxiao, his figure momentarily vanishing, and in the Land of Imperishable, slight ripples emerged from every direction. Fierce Spiritual Energy and Imperishable Qi seemed to solidify in an instant.

At the same time, Xu Yan's figure also disappeared from the spot and reappeared in another location, only to vanish again immediately, and a surge of Domain Power roiled through the Land of Imperishable.

Whoosh!

Fierce Spiritual Energy and Imperishable Qi transformed into a landscape of mountains and rivers within the Domain which were incomparably fierce, bursting with an intense Sword Light that lit up the Land of Imperishable.

That slight ripple, under the illumination of the Sword Light, slightly stalled for a moment!

When Muxiao and Xu Yan's figures reappeared, the distance between the two remained unchanged.

But now, the look they exchanged was laden with a few more degrees of solemnity.

"This isn't Taicang Martial Arts!"

Muxiao said gravely.

"I never said I practiced Taicang Martial Arts!"

Xu Yan smiled.

At that moment, Muxiao had nearly blocked all routes, making Xu Yan have to admit that Muxiao's strength was truly formidable.

This was the first individual who had almost made it impossible for him to escape.

Muxiao frowned continuously, an expression of puzzlement emerging in his eyes, "If it isn't Taicang Martial Arts, could it be..."

Suddenly, he paused, then shook his head, "Impossible, you can't cultivate it. Did Taicang leave some kind of contingency?"

At this moment, Muxiao realized that some unknown change must have occurred in the Taicang Domain, a change that had slipped beyond the control of the Imperishable Temple.

Because of this, Xu Yan emerged as such a monstrous figure.

Even though he was weaker, he could still escape despite Muxiao's repeated attacks, showing the depth and talent of his martial arts.

"Why do you think this is a contingency left by Taicang?"

Xu Yan smiled slightly, "Muxiao, you can't keep me here. Since we've met by chance, why not exchange information? I'll tell you about changes in the Taicang Domain, and you tell me secrets of The Imperishable Temple. Neither of us loses."
