Chapter 1297 - Subduing

Strands of a dusky gale constantly whistled within the crystallised pagoda, and whenever the wind crashed against the walls of the pagoda, the luster on it dimmed a little as it had been corroded by the Spirit Dispelling Gale…

But as the wind wreaked havoc, the pagoda blossomed and the crystallised Spiritual Energy looked like silk as it tangled around the Spirit Dispelling Gale.

When the two came in contact, Spiritual Energy burst out, as if the Spirit Dispelling Gale was struggling, trying to break free from the crystallised Spiritual Energy. It could clearly feel the unique energy in the crystallised Spiritual Energy that’s causing it to be unable to decompose the Spiritual Energy so easily.

“A little troublesome, indeed.” Mu Chen’s gaze flickered, but he wasn’t anxious since the Spirit Dispelling Gale was a rootless wind, it couldn’t achieve endlessness. On the contrary, he had the support of boundless Spiritual Energy, so even if he slowly nibbled at it, he would be able to deal with that Spirit Dispelling Gale.

Harboring this thought, Mu Chen wasn’t anxious and his crystallised Spiritual Energy started to envelop the Spirit Dispelling Gale. Although most of it had been decomposed, there was still a strand of crystallised Spiritual Energy that stuck to the Spirit Dispelling Gale.

In half an hour, the powerful Spirit Dispelling Gale had started to slow down and the dusky wind started to emanate crystallised lusters.

Although the Spirit Dispelling Gale was unique, it only had instinct and not intellect. So facing Mu Chen’s approach, it wasn’t able to escape.

In the end, a hundred foot wide light ball hovered in the divine pagoda with the dusky wind within it. But every time it crashed against the light ball, it was bounced back.

While Mu Chen was feeling relieved, he formed seals and the white-robed Mu Chen appeared. “Contain it?”

When the white-robed Mu Chen appeared, he had also placed his hands towards the Divine Pagoda, pouring the Spiritual Energy from his body into it.

Along with the support of the white-robed Mu Chen, the light ball started to shrink as the sealing power grew stronger.

In just ten-odd breaths, the light ball had been reduced to the size of a human’s head, and the sealing power had also calmed the Spirit Dispelling Gale down.

“Success!” Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes with joy flashing in them. His bold attempt had really succeeded!

“Success?” Seeing Mu Chen’s joyful expressions, Luo Li, Ling Xi, and Long Xiang were also stunned before they exclaimed.

Mu Chen’s face was filled with a smile before a light ball the size of a human’s head appeared on top of his palm, covered with runes that emanated a mighty sealing power.

Luo Li and the rest curiously came over to look at it and saw the calmed Spirit Dispelling Gale. The Spirit Dispelling Gale that was terrifying against any Spiritual Energy wasn’t able to break through the defenses.

“Although I’ve spent some effort, I have still succeeded. But the Spirit Dispelling Gale is constantly decomposing my sealing power, so I need to maintain the seal, or it might break out.

“Fortunately, this sort of exhaustion isn’t too great to pose a burden to me.” Mu Chen looked at the light ball admiringly.

Ling Xi clicked her tongue. She never thought that Mu Chen would really be bold enough to subdue the Spirit Dispelling Gale. Although Mu Chen merely sealed a portion of the Spirit Dispelling Gale, if he unleashed it while facing his enemies, even a Perfected Earth Sovereign would be in a pathetic state. If they’re careless, they might even be killed by it. This was a great trump card!

“With the Spirit Dispelling Gale, I’m afraid that Gu Shihuang only has death awaiting him if we re-encounter him.” Long Xiang praised.

“Gu Shihuang isn’t qualified for me to use the Spirit Dispelling Gale on.” Mu Chen lightly smiled. With his current attainments as a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar, even if he didn’t rely on his cultivation in Spiritual Energy, he would still be able to make Gu Shihuang suffer in battle. As for the Spirit Dispelling Gale, that geezer wasn’t qualified to force him to use it.

“You’re pretty arrogant now.” Ling Xi rolled her eyes at Mu Chen.

Luo Li gently laughed with ridicule in her eyes. Although she knew that Mu Chen said this because of his confidence, it was also a good thing that he could have his arrogance suppressed a little by Ling Xi.

Mu Chen awkwardly shrugged his shoulders.

“Young Master, since this Spirit Dispelling Gale is so powerful, why don’t we obtain a little more?” Long Xiang spoke with his eyes blazing. He had previously suffered from the Spirit Dispelling Gale, so he knew how terrifying it was. Since Mu Chen could contain it, then he should grasp the opportunity and absorb more of it.

Mu Chen shook his head. “With my current strength if I subdue a little more, it will pose a burden to me. If that happens, my own fighting strength will be affected.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to extract a little more, but he couldn’t do it. His sealing Spiritual Energy couldn’t contain the decomposing power of the Spirit Dispelling Gale completely, the Spirit Dispelling Gale just needed more time to decompose his Spiritual Energy.

And if he really obtained more of the Spirit Dispelling Gale, the Divine Pagoda wouldn’t be able to contain it and might cause trouble to him instead.

Long Xiang’s forehead sweated upon hearing that and kept quiet.

“The Spirit Dispelling Gale has weakened.” Luo Li suddenly exclaimed when she saw the violent Spirit Dispelling Gale start to calm down.

Mu Chen and the rest also sighed in relief when they saw it.

“Prepare to move out.” Mu Chen said as he waved his hand, keeping the Spirit Dispelling Gale in his pagoda.

The four of them briefly tidied up, and a few minutes later, the Spirit Dispelling Gale had turned into a subtle wind that gradually dissipated.

“Let’s go!” When the Spirit Dispelling Gale disappeared, Mu Chen’s group flew out before they could exclaim at the scenery of this region, with an emerald butterfly leading the way.

With the previous incident, it had wiped their back luck, and their journey had been exceptionally smooth.

Although they might encounter a team or two along the way, they did not interact, since they held their guard up against each other, maintaining a distance so that a battle didn’t break out.

Their travel continued to last for nearly half a day before they finally realise that the emerald butterfly guiding their way emanated an intense light.

Their hearts trembled, since that meant that they must be approaching Wen Qinguxan’s party.

As the four of them flew across lone peaks, a dried up and cracked mountain range appeared before them. Every single mountain peak seemed like a blade that emanated a sharp aura.

At the same time, the emerald butterfly trembled before it dissipated.

“Found them!” Luo Li held joy on her face as she looked in the northwest. When the emerald butterfly dissipated, a light had drifted in that direction. That meant that Wen Qingxuan’s party must be over there!

The four of them flew through the mountain range and saw Wen Qingxuan’s party in a valley deep inside.

“Wait.” But when Luo Li intended to join up with Wen Qingxuan, Mu Chen suddenly obstructed her as his gaze flashed. “They seem to have encountered some trouble.”

Luo Li directed her attention over and saw another team standing before Wen Qingxuan’s team. Furthermore, through the terrain, they could also sense several profound Spiritual Energy fluctuations behind Wen Qingxuan’s party. They formed a sandwich with the obstructing team, trapping Wen Qingxuan’s party in the valley.

Clearly, for some reason, Wen Qingxuan’s party had been targeted…
