Chapter 345: The Might of Spiritual Treasures

However, this thought quickly vanished.

As the dust settled, Ji Yang heard the furious shouts of the three elders:

“Ji Yang, where do you think you’re running?”

Elder Guan took the lead!

But now he no longer carried himself with the dignity of an elder; his tattered, disheveled clothes made him resemble a beggar.

The other two elders fared even worse, as Elder Guan at least had the defense of the bronze bell treasure.

As for them, although they managed to defend themselves at a critical moment, their hurried actions greatly diminished their momentum, making them far weaker than before!

Once the explosion dissipated, the three elders charged towards Ji Yang without a second thought!

At this point, they didn’t care about their pride.

The urgent task was to capture Ji Yang; if he managed to escape, they would be in even more trouble!

Yet, the rapid decline in their condition made it impossible for them to catch up with Ji Yang.

Even though the recent explosion had affected Ji Yang, his strong physique meant that the impact was merely a minor inconvenience for him.

Moreover, with the replenishment of the Yun Ling Dan and Techniques, Ji Yang felt as if his power was limitless; it never ceased, and combined with his newly enhanced cultivation, he was much faster than before!

The three elders saw Ji Yang running further away and were momentarily stunned.

At that moment, Elder Guan hurriedly prompted:

“Elder Du, quickly use the spiritual treasure!”

“Right! Elder Du, hurry up!”

Upon hearing their shouts, Elder Du was suddenly enlightened; how could he have forgotten the spiritual treasure given by Peak Master Su? Wasn’t that treasure exactly what he needed at this critical moment?

With that, Elder Du produced an item from his hand, which was none other than the red staff that Elder Su had entrusted to him earlier!

The red staff resembled a jade carving, appearing seamlessly crafted; even without activation, its presence could be felt!

As Elder Du channeled his power into it, the staff instantly emanated a bright crimson glow, illuminating its surface; the vibrant red seemed to come alive, flowing like a stream of vivid scarlet within the staff!

Meanwhile, the weather around them began to shift dramatically; a fierce wind suddenly surged, and clouds gathered ominously!

Ji Yang, who was running ahead, sensed the unusual happenings behind him; in the blink of an eye, the extraordinary phenomenon enveloped his body.

At the same time, an inexplicable sense of danger locked onto Ji Yang.

With the threat looming, Ji Yang stopped running and turned back to look.

The brilliance of the red staff intensified; even before being fully activated, it held such power. If it were to be fully unleashed, he might very well face calamity.

Is this the might of a spiritual treasure?

Indeed, its power was worlds apart from ordinary treasures!

However, Ji Yang did not sit idly by. While Elder Du was still striving to activate his staff, Ji Yang took out his iron pick once more.

Yet, instead of unleashing sword energy, he merely altered the form of the iron pick.

In the next moment, the iron pick transformed into a fishing rod!

It was the causal fishing rod hidden within.

Before Ji Yang could even use the fishing rod, he felt a jolt as a bolt of thunder struck down from above, causing him to shiver.

But in the next moment, he employed his powers to absorb the calamity clouds into his body.

On the other side, Elder Guan and Elder Yu looked extremely pleased with the scene.

“Wow, Peak Master Su’s spiritual treasure is truly extraordinary; just a little movement unleashes such power!”

“Exactly! Luckily, Peak Master Su is resourceful; otherwise, that brat might have escaped!”

As the two spoke, Elder Du, who was straining to activate his staff, was filled with confusion.

Was that bolt of celestial lightning because of this spiritual treasure?

But why didn’t he remember this treasure having such a function? Could it be that Peak Master Su had revamped this item?

Elder Du set aside his thoughts and focused his full efforts.

Since this spiritual treasure did not belong to him, activating it was rather troublesome, but now that the treasure was initiated, and Ji Yang was locked on, catching him was just a matter of time!

The three men certainly saw Ji Yang’s actions, and upon seeing him pull out the fishing rod, they scoffed.

At this moment, with everything going on, he wasn’t even thinking about escaping; instead, he was trying to fish? This made Elder Guan smile coldly.

The might of the spiritual treasure wasn’t something someone at Ji Yang’s level could resist, especially one wielded by an elder at the late Void Refinement stage!

The other two elders held the same thought, dismissing Ji Yang’s actions.

Yet the next moment, they couldn’t hold back their laughter.

They watched as Ji Yang tossed the fishing rod forward!

As he threw it, the fishing line did not follow.

While they were puzzled, a primordial spirit line had already wrapped itself around the staff in Elder Du’s hands without him noticing.

The strange sensation from the staff made Elder Du lower his head in confusion to look.

But Ji Yang was already reeling in the line!

In the stunned gaze of the three elders, the invisible primordial spirit line had pulled the red staff from Elder Du’s hands!

As the staff slipped from his grasp, the extraordinary phenomenon in the sky quickly vanished.

Seeing this, the three elders immediately reacted!

“How dare you!”

“Brat, return the spiritual treasure!”

“Hurry, chase him!”

…

The three looked flustered and hurriedly pursued Ji Yang.

It was one thing for them to appear embarrassed; not capturing him was another matter entirely. If they lost Peak Master Su’s spiritual treasure, they would truly have no face to return to the sect!

At this point, the three did not spare Yu Li, each activating their best secret techniques.

In an instant, their speed surged!

However, the primordial spirit line retracted even faster.

As the three closed in, Ji Yang had already grasped the red staff that had just been in Elder Du’s hands!

As he obtained this spiritual treasure, Ji Yang did not have time to examine it before he sensed a tremendous shaking from the staff, as if it wanted to break free from his grip.

Seeing this, Ji Yang’s expression lit up with joy.

The spiritual treasure possessed intelligence; indeed, it was unlike ordinary treasures.

But Ji Yang did not concern himself with the struggle; he gripped the staff tightly, and the struggling ceased instantly.

Then Ji Yang further cast two layers of seal before stuffing it into his storage bag.

After doing all this, Ji Yang didn’t say a word and quickly fled!

However, the three elders, as if on a drug-fueled high, relentlessly pursued him, closing the distance in just a moment!

Upon reaching a suitable distance, the three of them struck together, trying to block Ji Yang’s path!

Tall walls occasionally appeared before him, or countless blades would rush at him from behind!

An array of attacks came incessantly, dazzling the eyes.

And facing these various attacks, Ji Yang cared little and charged through with his strong body, violently smashing through all obstacles while barely slowing his pace.

Ji Yang’s actions left the three elders staring at each other in disbelief.
