Chapter 713: Senior Yiyuan

Su Che saw a teleportation portal appear in the appraisal room, with five people emerging from it.
All five of them gave off an aura similar to Uncle Zhuo Feng’s—their strength was unfathomable, and Su Che couldn’t determine their cultivation level at all.
“Five Golden Immortals! It must be five Golden Immortals!”
Su Che was utterly shocked. It was bad enough that someone had intruded into his hideout without reason, but the intruders were none other than five Golden Immortal bandits.
“I’m sure that old scoundrel Zong Yi is among them. They must have changed their true appearances and personal auras while committing the crime…”
Su Che reacted quickly and immediately suspected Zong Yi.
“It has to be that old bastard!”
Lao He agreed and shouted, “Hurry up and send a warning to Uncle Zhuo so he can come back right away!”
“It’s too late!”
Su Che sighed inwardly but still crushed a fairy talisman, which served as a distress signal to Zhuo Feng.
Flying was strictly prohibited in the Heavenly Market, no matter the reason—this was an unbreakable rule. Once you flew into the sky, you would be intercepted by patrol teams or even subjected to the powerful attacks of the protective arrays. By the time you explained the reason, it would take longer than walking back honestly.
This rule might seem unreasonable, but it was actually an effective measure to prevent criminals from escaping by flying.
Now, with five Golden Immortal bandits inside his shop, they could fly at high speeds without restraint. With their Golden Immortal strength, they could find their hiding place in the blink of an eye.
Su Che’s judgment was correct—relying on Zhuo Feng’s rescue would definitely be too late.
Bang!
The appraisal room exploded into pieces, and five figures rushed out. Their formidable mental auras swept across the entire immortal estate, quickly locking onto Su Che’s Qianyuan Dual-Pole Mysterious Array.
Though protected by the array, they couldn’t see Su Che directly. But with the wisdom of Golden Immortals, there was no need to say more—they all rushed toward this place at high speed.
“Five Golden Immortals… The Qianyuan Mysterious Array definitely can’t hold them. I have no choice…”
The situation was urgent, leaving Su Che no time to overthink. He had to make a decision in an instant.
Swish swish swish…
Su Che acted immediately, activating six teleportation portals to surround himself. From any direction—front, back, up, down, left, or right—he could instantly enter one of the portals.

Under such circumstances, there was no other choice but to rely on these portals to save themselves.
These six portals all had the same transmission distance and direction, connecting to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield. However, their transmission accuracy was poor; they couldn’t pinpoint the target precisely, meaning they couldn’t guarantee that Su Che would be directly transported to the Sealing Heaven Array within the Immortal-Demon Battlefield. This was because there was an interference from a Treasure Shop space in between, resulting in a double-space penetration transmission. Thus, every time Su Che returned to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield to retrieve magical artifacts, he had to go to the wilderness outside the Heavenly Market under Zhuo Feng’s accompaniment for transmission—since that was a single-space transmission, allowing him to directly locate the core of the Sealing Heaven Array.
In today’s situation, Su Che didn’t care about accuracy anymore. Even if the transmission went wrong and he ended up in the hands of the demon princess Lan Ling, he still had a chance to survive. On the other hand, if he fell into Zong Yi’s hands, he would surely die—no chance of survival!
The Immortal-Demon Battlefield, just like the Mi Xian Realm back then, had become a powerful shield for Su Che.
As the five Golden Immortal bandits rushed forward, Su Che planned to retreat through the portal behind him, but then he saw…
Whoosh!
His Golden Immortal attendant, “Senior Yuanyuan,” arrived ahead of time and stood in front of the misty Qianyuan Xuan Array. Her clear and pleasant voice rang out:
“Friends, have you gone to the wrong place? How did you end up in my lair?”
One of the bandits snapped, “You’re just an attendant—not worth dying for money. If you don’t want to die, get out of the way now!”
As he spoke, he charged straight at Yuanyuan, while the other four scattered, clearly intending to surround Yuanyuan while the rest attacked the Qianyuan Xuan Array from different angles.
Su Che, who had planned to hide in the portal, stopped in his tracks, wanting to see how Yuanyuan would handle this. Faced with one against five, it was understandable if she backed down—after all, no one would risk their life for a few immortal crystals.
“More enemies?” Yuanyuan laughed delicately. “Great!”
In an instant, nine figures rushed out from around her main body, bringing the total to ten. Two people took on one bandit each, successfully blocking all five Golden Immortal bandits.
“Great Clone Technique!” one of the bandits roared, his voice clearly tinged with frustration.

Every great art is an extremely complex discipline that can take on countless forms. Take the art of creating multiple clones, for example—these clones can be divided into two types: independent clones and puppet clones. Independent clones possess full consciousness and can exist independently in any environment, just like the original entity; whereas puppet clones are merely flesh-and-blood puppets that still require control from the original entity’s mind. Clearly, the nine other clones shown by Yuanyuan were of the first type, and her mastery in this area was quite profound. The reason that bandit was so frustrated earlier was that he was also skilled in this art and immediately realized that the version used by this Golden Immortal was of a different approach, quite distinct from his own. But under these circumstances, her method could cause great trouble for everyone. All of Yuanyuan’s nine independent clones were “explosive clones”—each had only about 40% of the original entity’s combat strength, could not stay far away from the original, and their duration was quite short, probably around half an hour. Yet even so, this proved that her mastery of this art was flawless, with her understanding reaching an extremely high level; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to create so many clones. In this situation, with two clones dealing with one enemy, even if they couldn’t defeat them, they could still keep the five Golden Immortal bandits occupied for a while. By avoiding direct confrontation and instead engaging in harassing tactics, it would indeed be very troublesome. For the five members of the Zong Yi group, infiltrating a place like Haoyuan Tian Shi to carry out a heist required speed like lightning and momentum like thunder—every moment was crucial. If they were trapped by her, the mission would fail. “Little boss, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, those five won’t hurt you,” Yuanyuan called out sweetly to Su Che inside the mystic array. Su Che didn’t respond, not wanting the five bandits to know his exact location, and his inner assessment wasn’t as optimistic as hers. After all, their opponents were five Golden Immortals, each possessing powerful great arts that hadn’t yet been unleashed—who knew what might happen… Just as he was thinking this, another clear female voice called out, “Arrogant! Freeze them now!” The Great Paralysis Art! Whoosh… An invisible wave spread out, causing six of Yuanyuan’s nine clones to suddenly stop in their tracks, clearly frozen mid-air by the Great Paralysis Art.

The other three Golden Immortal bandits, each entangled by one of these six avatars, didn’t hesitate. Seizing the opportunity, they bypassed their avatars and rushed toward the Qianyuan Mysterious Array in an instant, followed by a fierce barrage of attacks.
“The situation is bad—let’s retreat quickly!” Lao He urged Su Che.
“Don’t rush. It won’t be easy for those three to break through the Qianyuan Mysterious Array,” Su Che replied coldly. “Besides, I want to show them up close as I enter the teleportation portal. Ideally, they’d have the guts to follow in.”
If those guys were teleported to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, into the territory of the Origin Demons, that would be a real show!
Just then, Yuan Yuan shouted crisply, “Disperse!”
Her main body and the other three avatars waved their hands together, jointly casting the Great Dispersal Spell. The six frozen avatars immediately regained their mobility.
The Great Dispersal Spell dispelled all negative conditions!
Once free to move, those six avatars immediately surrounded the three Golden Immortal bandits attacking the Qianyuan Mysterious Array, clinging to them like a persistent plague, impossible to shake off.
Undoubtedly, if this continued any longer, by the time Zhuo Feng returned to the shop, it would pose another obstacle for those five bandits.
At this moment, Zong Yi, disguised, was also secretly annoyed. He hadn’t expected the Golden Immortal priest recently hired by Tianxuan Treasure Shop to be so troublesome, especially given the astonishing skill of her Avatar Technique—nine avatars, each possessing 40% of the main body’s combat power—what an exaggeration…
Normally, a Golden Immortal should not be able to reach such a level; a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be more appropriate. Clearly, there was something suspicious here.
However, the five members of Zong Yi’s group wouldn’t give up easily. Each still had powerful tactics unused, and it wasn’t yet time to retreat.
As for Yuan Yuan, she remained calm, shouting, “Little boss, it’s only been a few days since I arrived, and already I face such trouble. You need to raise my pay!”
Still having the time to talk like this, Su Che knew she was trying to reassure him, implying, “Don’t worry—everything is under my control.”
Su Che still didn’t respond. Nor would he risk his safety by relying on anyone else.
In critical moments, no one can be trusted; one can only rely on their own abilities.

The Six Paths Portal still hovered around Su Che, and the Qianyuan Mysterious Array was in full operation. The crystal giants at the core of the array, each colored crystal, shone brightly, indicating that under Su Che’s control, the array’s protective capabilities had reached their peak. The five bandits outside, being at the Golden Immortal level, had already recognized the dual nature of the Qianyuan Mysterious Array. They did not rush into it recklessly, as they did not want to get trapped in the maze and waste time. Instead, they attacked the entire array with brute force, clearly bullying Su Che, the controller of the array, for being just a minor Human Immortal. Even with a top-tier mysterious array, he wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.
