Weapon seller in the world of magic

In the meantime, the hourglass lost its effectiveness and fell on the ground, and cracked. The restriction on Lan Ju\'s movements was also removed.

Lan Ju furrowed his brows, "what are you doing?"

"Nothing, I was just taking the thing that belonged to us, that\'s all…" replied the grand mage. He then added, "You see… Eye of Talim belonged to the Azu clan in the first place."

"Doesn\'t matter. Every treasure presented on this mountain belonged to my master." Lan Ju said in a serious tone.

To which, Wang Chin burst out into laughter, "hahahaha, what a funny joke. Do you really believe that you are invincible or something? I have seen enough demigods to know how to deal with them."

The grand mage raised his staff once again and slammed its tip onto the ground, unleashing the ancient formation and locking down everyone.

"You have already tried that last time. It didn\'t work." Lan Ju commented and proceeded to gather the energy in his hand. He doesn\'t want to waste his time with this peak-8-circle mage.

However, Wang Chin didn\'t look scared at all.

Did he have any tricks up his sleeve?

Might be possible but Lan Ju could care less about it as this grand mage standing before him is already dead in his eyes.

As a spear made of ether energy formed in Lan Ju\'s hands, Wang Chin took out another hourglass, surprising the former.

As the hourglass was thrown into the air, Lan Ju reacted in a timely manner.

Instead of motioning the spear toward the enemy\'s heart, he activated his teleportation skill and made his escape. The barrier conjured by the collective efforts of the members of the Kunlun sect was bypassed and Lan Ju returned to his master\'s side.

Mark was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Lan Ju. Xie Mei, who was already stunned by the earlier performance of the missile defense system, couldn\'t help but wonder whether the war is already over.

However, Lan Ju appeared to be in a hurry. As soon as he reached his master, he didn\'t give any time for the explanation and directly grabbed Mark while saying, "We need to move away quickly…"

"What do you mean…" Mark had confusion clearly written on his face. Just a moment ago, Lan Ju gave him a signal that indicated the surrender of Lai Peng but now, he was telling him to leave the place. What might have happened?

Mark wanted to know the matter but Lan Ju didn\'t have time to explain him. He decided to first teleport away to as far as he could and then answer.

Soon, the hourglass was activated and time froze in Wang Chin\'s surroundings once again. As the wave of colorless energy passed through Xie Mei, she was frozen on the spot just like all the disciples of the Wuji sect and Kunlun sect.

Meanwhile, Lan Ju and Mark appeared outside of the mountain range, located about 50 kilometers away from Mt. Wu.

"Sorry about that, master but the enemy appeared to possess a treasure that can stop the time to the individuals within a certain range. It is something I have never witnessed or heard of it before." Lan Ju continued to explain everything about how this grand mage belonged to the Azu clan, one of the enemy clans of the Lan Clan, back at the plane of ice and fire, how he killed Lai Peng, etc…

After hearing him out, Mark furrowed his brows, "Why are these simple matters getting too complicated…"

He thought for a bit and said, "Then, let\'s teleport back to Mt. Wu. We cannot let him get away."

"No, what if he had a third hourglass?" Lan Ju was worried about Mark\'s safety. "I think it is best for you to stay here. I will return after taking care of him."

Wang Chin\'s purple flames or so whatever will not be able to hurt him a little bit but Mark was different. If Lai Peng can be killed, then, there is a high chance that Mark can be killed too and he wouldn\'t be able to stop him from doing that.

It was for this very reason Lan Ju bothered to take Mark far away from the battle zone. For someone of Wang Chin\'s caliber, it wouldn\'t be shocking to point out Mark\'s location by simply tracing the path of the projectiles fired earlier.

From his earlier experience, Lan Ju had already figured out what can that hourglass do. It stops the time for exactly 5 seconds but had a range of 30 kilometers. That\'s like affecting more than 2800 sq. km of area.

In five seconds, Wang Chin might not be able to travel 16 kilometers to reach Mark but what\'s to say that he doesn\'t possess other mystical items?

Hence, Lan Ju felt the need to act with caution.

On the other hand, Mark didn\'t think it was a big deal as the zheng was making it to be. He convinced the zheng with his strategy to get back to the battlefield.

Meanwhile, on the top of Mt. Wu, the grand mage threw away the patriarch\'s hand and took the ring into his hand.

He had a grin on his face upon connecting his consciousness with the ring. "I didn\'t expect to get my hands on the Eye of Talim and even jade pipa this easily. I guess I should thank Lu Zhen and his zheng for creating an opportunity for me to strike Lai Peng, although I would have done it eventually some other time in the future.

Well, anyways, since I have already obtained what I want, it\'s time to leave this place. I need to find a secret hideout to study Xiao Shu\'s memories and look for a way to break through to immortal… Hmm?"

As he was still in his thoughts, two figures popped out of thin air just a few meters away from him. One was the familiar opponent and another was something that looked like a mysterious alien creature.

However, before he even reacted, Mark who was in the exo suit raised his index finger and clicked on a skill.

"Gravity Dome, 200g."

In the next instant, enormous pressure descended onto the surroundings, forcing everyone on the top of the mountain to their knees.
