Chapter 749: Chapter 284: Aren’t You Afraid of Angering Lady Golden Simurgh?

Any Golden Core Cultivator could easily destroy the Mojie Sect’s Alchemy Hall Guardian Array.

If Xiao Chen couldn’t be completely certain of the Sea Race’s objective based on the Sun Storage Stone alone last time, then this time, the proof was irrefutable.

’But this doesn’t make any sense.’

Xiao Chen was quite puzzled. ’Why the Mojie Sect?’

’If this were the Cloud Sea Sword Pavilion, it would make sense. They’d obviously be clearing the way for that giant octopus.’

’Or maybe they just want to coordinate with the octopus to launch their attack.’

’The problem is, the Mojie Sect is located to the west of the Compassion Sea.’

’Theoretically, it’s the kind of place that would be the last to be affected, even if the situation completely collapsed.’

It was truly baffling, but fortunately, Xiao Chen never dwelled on such problems.

If he couldn’t figure something out, he would just stop thinking about it for now. The truth would surface on its own sooner or later.

After all, he wasn’t a Cultivator from the Mojie Sect. There was no need for him to meddle in their affairs. At most, he’d find a chance to give them a warning.

Beyond these items and the usual miscellany like Talismans and spare Spiritual Artifacts, the Storage Ring also contained a Small Su Ye Wood Box, two special black Talismans, two letters, and two Spirit Storage Boxes.

Xiao Chen first opened the Small Su Ye Wood Box.

Inside was a square silk handkerchief, only about five inches long.

The moment he took it in hand, he immediately realized it was a Talisman Treasure!

’Judging by its design, it should be a Defensive Talisman Treasure. I just don’t know what grade it is.’

Xiao Chen examined it for a moment before putting it away. ’As expected of an Alchemist. This kid really had a lot of life-saving treasures on him.’

Next, he picked up the two Talismans to examine them.

’Huh? Why do these runes look both strange and familiar?’

Xiao Chen didn’t know much about Talisman Making, so it was normal for the runes to look strange to him.

And yet, deep down, he felt a bizarre sense of familiarity with the runes.

’I feel like I’ve seen similar markings somewhere, but probably not on a Talisman... The Black Abyss Demon Sect!’

Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that the symbol drawn at the top of the Talisman was the emblem of the Black Abyss Demon Sect.

He had seen similar patterns several times in the Inheritance Jade Scroll, but they had been printed on flags or implements.

Come to think of it, since he had used the Inheritance Jade Scroll, he could be considered half a successor to the Black Abyss Demon Sect.

And yet he had almost failed to recognize something from his own sect.

He must have been too careless while studying back then, focusing only on the whereabouts of the Evil Qi and not bothering to memorize anything else.

Now that Xiao Chen was thinking about the Black Abyss Demon Sect, he immediately recalled it.

This was the Demon Sect’s famously unique Tier Four Talisman from back in the day—the Black Abyss Blood Escape Technique Talisman!

Its creation was exceedingly complex, requiring a Cultivator to activate it with their own Essence Blood before use.

Once activated, it would instantly transform into a streak of blood-red light and flee over ten thousand li away, a speed that even an average Tier Four Cultivator couldn’t match.

Back when the Black Abyss Demon Sect still existed, many Demons relied on this very Talisman to repeatedly escape from the clutches of Orthodox True Monarchs.

’Thankfully, the Mechanical Flying Claw also has a stun effect.’

At this thought, Xiao Chen immediately realized that if his opponent had managed to use the Talisman Treasure to stall for time...

...and then taken out the second Magic Talisman to escape, he probably wouldn’t have been able to stop him.

It was a good thing he had acted so decisively, leaving his opponent no room to maneuver.

However, Xiao Chen was becoming increasingly aware that as a Cultivator’s Cultivation rose, so too did their number of life-saving techniques.

Although he had successfully captured his opponent this time, if the man had possessed just one more trick, the outcome might have been very different.

This meant that in the future, he had to be more mindful during battle about preventing his prey from escaping.

It would be best to prepare more methods for preventing escape, just to be absolutely sure.

Then again, these two Magic Talismans were excellent items.

They might even come in handy after Xiao Chen broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.

After all, they were Tier Four Talismans, originally designed to counter Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

They were essentially two more life-saving trump cards in his arsenal.

It was just as he always thought: when it came to life-saving items, the more, the better!
