Sovereign to Immortality

As the disciple of Spiritual Master Chen Ji, Song Wei and the others had already investigated how many magic tools the Xiong Family had, and how could they not know how many spirit arts and abilities the Xiong Family had inherited. Furthermore, Song Wei had already mentioned before that Shi Jiu Tong's "Floating Traps" likely originated from the inheritance of the Seven Spirit Sect and Opening Spirit Sect.    

    

At this moment, the Xiong Family was very cautious, they were afraid that if they were not careful, they would be targeted by the Heaven Shaking Sect, turning into a chicken to keep a watch on the monkeys!    

    

At this time, Xiong Chengzhong could see that Song Wei had come here today because he thought Xiong Jianzhong was here for the Xiong Family. In fact, this person was here because of Yang Tian. Although the two of them seemed to be the same, but due to the difference in emphasis, Xiong Chengzhong seemed to have figured something out.    

    

With a look of pity on his face, Housekeeper Xiong looked at Shi Jiu Tong who had turned from defense to offense, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Song must be joking, the Xiong Family definitely doesn't know the 'Floating Silk Spirit Art'. Perhaps the true origin of this technique is to ask Stone Village itself!"    

    

Song Wei nodded his head and said: "Actually, compared to who was attacked by Patriarch Xu, I am more interested in why her whereabouts were being grasped so clearly!"    

    

As soon as Song Wei finished speaking, not only Xu Sanniang, but also Steward Xiong's expression changed. However, they had to say, "Mister Song is wise!"    

    

Song Wei let out a cold snort and said, "Since this Stone Village Chief still has the suspicion of attacking and killing Clan Leader Xu, does Housekeeper Xiong think we should wait for these two people to decide before asking him. Or should we do it now?"    

    

The few late stage Martial Disciples could all see that although Shi Jiu Tong seemed to have the upper hand, but in reality, he was not as strong as before. It was likely that the spirit essence in his body had already begun to run out; even though Yang Tian was in a sorry state to dodge, and had lost a lot of spirit essence, he was already at the peak of the third stage. Not to mention that he had accumulated a lot of strength, he had not lost any of his spirit essence before.    

    

In fact, Shi Jiu Tong was already panicking. Even though he was chasing after Yang Tian, he knew that he was already at the end of his tether. If he didn't defeat Yang Tian Gang within a short period of time, he would be exhausted.    

    

Yang Tian was still calm and composed. Although he was unable to completely break through the "Floating Silk Spirit Recovering Technique", he was doing his best to avoid being stuck by this spirit art. Although the spirit essence in his body was dissipating, he could still rely on the spirit essence in his body which was far more vigorous than Shi Jiu Tong's.    

    

Steward Xiong exchanged a glance with the Yu and Ning Family cultivators, then he looked at Xiong Manshan, who was silent behind him. He then sighed and said, "Since the battle is not over yet, we should wait until the two of them have a victor."    

    

Song Wei smiled slightly, he knew that the Xiong Family was still hoping for a fluke, so he said: "Alright, but even if Shi Jiu Tong wins, once he is proven guilty of assassinating the Xu Family Patriarch, he will still not be able to take the main position in the village!"    

    

Steward Xiong hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still nodded his head.    

    

While they were talking, the battle between the two had reached a critical moment. Shi Jiu Tong was still crazily attacking, but Yang Tian suddenly started to counterattack.    

    

By this time, Shi Jiu Tong was already at the end of his strength. He had been trying his best to hold on only because he felt that he had the upper hand. Under continuous attacks, Yang Tian might not be able to hold on for much longer and would be forced to retreat.    

    

However, what he did not know was that Yang Tian's understanding of the floating Spirit Recovering Technique was not inferior to his. Although he was unable to completely dispel the Spirit Recovering Technique in a short period of time, he knew how to avoid the strongest attack of this Spirit Art.    

    

While Shi Jiu Tong was chasing after him, Yang Tian suddenly rushed forward with his hair fluttering in the wind.    

    

Shi Jiu Tong was not surprised, instead, he rejoiced. The Iron-Dawn Bead spun around his head, creating a whirlwind. It gathered all the floating stuff that filled the sky onto Yang Tian's body. In the blink of an eye, the thickness of the floating stuff around Yang Tian doubled.    

    

However, at this moment, the high-grade magic tool in Yang Tian's hand suddenly pierced through the air and smashed into the Ironcloud Pearl. A crisp sound rang out, causing Shi Jiu Tong's eardrums to hurt.    

    

Shi Jiu Tong was not surprised, instead, he was overjoyed. Although his Ironcloud Pearl had been knocked away, Yang Tian Gang's smoke pot had also lost its control for a moment. He had already started to gather all the floating stuff in the sky onto Yang Tian Gang's body.    

    

"Eh, that's a good idea. I never thought that a grand spirit art could be broken by an ordinary spell!"    

    

Song Wei who was watching the fight suddenly exclaimed.    

    

Ning Changchun also laughed, "Not completely, but at least we've managed to break the power of this spiritual art. In the future, we could use it as a reference. But who would have thought that such a useless technique like the Earthen Restraining Technique would have such uses."    

    

Just as Shi Jiu Tong was rejoicing secretly in his heart, he suddenly saw a series of violent tremors in front of him. Shi Jiu Tong was startled as he saw the ruins suddenly break apart and a muddy man covered in mud and stuffed with flying cotton was rushing towards him.    

    

Shi Jiu Tong turned pale with fright, and was about to run away, but unexpectedly, as the person ran, he used an Earth Shaking Spell with every step, and took five steps consecutively. Shi Jiu Tong stumbled and did not manage to escape, but the mud man had already caught up to him.    

    

Shi Jiu Tong knew that it was the time to determine the victor, so he simply stopped running and turned around to fight Yang Tian to the death.    

    

However, just as he turned around, there was another muffled sound from the ground. This time, it came from underground and Shi Jiu Tong knew it was not good. It was too late to run.    

    

"Break!" Shi Jiu Tong used the last bit of his spirit essence to burst forth with a baleful aura below his feet, causing him to float in midair, not falling into the pit at all. However, at this time, the clay figure had already appeared in front of him.    

    

Shi Jiu Tong could not avoid the attack. The killing intent beneath his feet dissipated and he fell into the pit. The pit closed and half of Shi Jiu Tong's body was caught in the pit, the flying wool covering the sky immediately dissipated.    

    

The mud on the clay figurine was being peeled off layer by layer. Yang Tian had just revealed his body and was standing next to the pit. However, he did not release Shi Jiu Tong who had sunk into the mud.    

    

"Yang Tian Gang, laozi has already lost. This village is already yours. Are you still not going to let laozi out?" Shi Jiu Tong's face was pale. All of his spirit energy had been used up.    

    

At this moment, Yang Tian was not in a good situation. He had used up more than half of his spiritual essence to find a chance to defeat Shi Jiu Tong. If Shi Jiu Tong could last for a little longer, then Yang Tian would be the one to lose.    

    

However, facing Shi Jiu Tong's roar, Yang Tian completely ignored it. He turned around, and saw Song Wei, the three powerful families, and Xu Sanniang all walk up to Shi Jiu Tong, looking down on him.    

    

At this time, Shi Jiu Tong also realized that something was wrong. He immediately turned his gaze to Xiong Jidong and said, "Butler Xiong, what's going on? Why didn't you put him down?"    

    

Before Xiong Ba Zhong could reply, Song Wei, who was at the side, already sneered and asked, "No rush, let me ask you. Where did you go last night? What did you do? Did you actually come back?"    

    

Shi Jiu Tong's expression changed and said, "Mr. Song, what, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect me?"    

    

Xu Sanniang, who was at the side, had already jumped out and said, "Shi, stop pretending. The person who injured me yesterday was you!"    

    

Shi Jiu Tong was stunned, then he reacted and said excitedly: "Xu Sanniang, don't slander me. You said I hurt you, do you have any evidence? There are so many people here today, you can't speak any nonsense!"    

    

Shi Jiu Tong then turned to Xiong Chi and said: "Butler Xiong, please uphold justice, do not let someone with ulterior motives succeed!"    

    

Housekeeper Xiong revealed an awkward expression. Xu Sanniang, who was at the side, coldly laughed and said, "The spiritual technique you just used, 'Fluttering Silk Recovering Technique', was the ability that injured me yesterday. What? Did you forget about Stone Village?"    

    

When Xu Sanniang said this, the villagers in the two villages immediately went into an uproar.    

    

"Stone Village had injured Patriarch Xu, why?"    

    

"Stupid, you still need to ask, of course it's to get rid of one of the experts from the Tuqiu Village, this way once the two villages fight over the commander, naturally, the Tu Shi Village will have the upper hand. Just look how close it is today, if it wasn't for the sudden emergence of the Yang Village's eldest son, our Tu Qiu Village would have lost this time!"    

    

"So that's how it is. Stone Village is too cruel, to think that they are just fellow villagers, how could they …"    

    

"Bullsh * t, that wasn't even your father's doing. You're slandering me, your father was in the village last night, and anyway, when were you ambushed yesterday? I don't even know where you were, how could I have ambushed you in advance?"    

    

When Xu Sanniang heard this, she was also stunned. Shi Jiu Tong was right. How could he know where she was? It seemed like the only one who knew where she was yesterday was …    

    

"Ah, I understand!"    

    

When the crowd heard this, they looked over and saw the injured blacksmith Zhang hitting his own forehead after losing two people consecutively. When he saw everyone looking at him, he smiled embarrassedly and said: "I remembered something, last night when I was discussing the matter of the village together with Yang Village, I found out that someone had come out from the village and passed through Qinshui to head over to the Tu Shi Village. Wasn't it him the one who leaked out Patriarch Xu's whereabouts?"    

    

At this moment, Xu Sanniang's face had already turned ashen. When she heard this, she asked, "Brother Zhang, are you serious?"
