Twenty-odd Great Ascension cultivators set off at the same time, stirring up swirling winds and clouds.
Spiritual light gleamed, spiritual energy surged, and all sorts of abilities were unleashed. Within a breath, a suppressed, low boom echoed, and the Grand Unity Secret Realm moved.
The formations spun rapidly, forming a tight cycle around Qin Si and the Great Ascension cultivators. Abundant energy propelled the Grand Unity Secret Realm to travel through space with Qin Si.
“Mountain Lord Yue?” Fu Yangzi asked with concern as Yue Bufan remained unmoving, staring at the spot where Qin Si had vanished. “Are you injured?”
The Fu Zhen Sect was renowned for its formations and also cultivated talisman arts, but their cultivators’ combat power was not high. Therefore, they were affiliated with Yue Qing Mountain.
This was not Fu Yangzi’s first collaboration with Yue Bufan, but the Grand Unity Secret Realm was different from other places. The divine light seeping from outside the secret realm alone had caused them considerable hardship. For instance, even though he was at the peak of Nascent Soul, he had sustained severe internal injuries.
Yue Bufan snapped back to attention. “This Venerable is fine. You, however, should return and rest well. This Venerable will handle the follow-up matters.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Yangzi’s heart leaped with joy. “Thank you, Mountain Lord Yue!”
Yue Bufan waved his hand, signaling it was nothing.
After Fu Yangzi departed, Yue Bufan also headed towards the Desolate Road. However, upon arriving at the Desolate Road, he saw the Grand Unity Secret Realm hovering in the shattered void, revealing its majestic and mysterious true form. The twenty-odd Great Ascension cultivators were all heavily injured and repelled to the outskirts of the secret realm.
“What’s happening?” Yue Bufan asked.
A Great Ascension cultivator said, “Mountain Lord Yue, be careful. This secret realm attacks people on its own.”
As soon as he spoke, a beam of ethereal blue divine light shot out from within the secret realm, directly at Yue Bufan.
Fortunately, Yue Bufan had been on guard when the Great Ascension cultivator spoke and quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding it. But before he could steady himself, new attacks came one after another, as if they wouldn’t stop until they hit him.
Yue Bufan could only deal with the attacks while loudly inquiring, “Where is Qin Si?”
Kushan Shanshi forced a bitter smile. “Mountain Master Qin had just left when this secret realm began acting like this. We don’t know where Mountain Master Qin has gone.”
...
Within the Mustard Seed Layer, Xu Ye, leading Liu Tianyun and Tang Qiao, had taken another wrong turn.
Liu Tianyun grew impatient and roared in a low voice, “Xu Ye, can you do anything right?”
What was crucial was that Qinglan, whether mad or not, was still relentlessly searching for their whereabouts, risking being struck by heavenly lightning.
Liu Tianyun looked at the illusory giant hands stirring and probing everywhere within the Mustard Seed Layer, his eyes filled with impatience. If he hadn’t wanted to avoid conflict with Qinglan and waste energy, he wouldn’t have been so aggrieved, hiding within this Beast Core barrier.
Xu Ye said helplessly, “My Lord, this should be the correct path this time.”
Heavenly lightning was merciless, and he had to be cautious. He didn’t believe that if he were struck by heavenly lightning, these two would save him.
As Xu Ye spoke, a passage formed before him. Lightning surged around the passage, but it was all blocked from entering by the passage itself.
The three walked inside, and soon they saw Bai Shengyi beneath the lightning.
“The final heavenly tribulation,” Tang Qiao stared intently at the female cultivator not far away. She, who had been uninterested, straightened her back, her eyes glinting with coldness.
It was her who had killed Yue Jun!
Killing intent surged.
Without any pause, Tang Qiao shook the silver bracelet in her hand. The bracelet transformed into a silver ferocious beast and pounced fiercely towards Bai Shengyi.
Since Xu Ye had seen the bones on Bai Shengyi’s body, his eyes had been fixed, and he did not obstruct Tang Qiao. Liu Tianyun was the same.
The two watched coldly, waiting to move in if Tang Qiao’s attack was discovered.
They had to kill Bai Shengyi today!
However, just as the silver beast transformed from Tang Qiao’s bracelet lunged out, a vigorous and mighty Black-eyed Tiger suddenly leaped out, pouncing on the silver beast and knocking it to the ground.
“Roar!”
Chui Ming let out a low growl. Gripping the beast with its claws, it tore, and the beast disintegrated into fragments, vanishing from its spot.
“Who?”
Tang Qiao looked vigilantly, only to see endless wind and snow. In the blink of an eye, she, Liu Tianyun, and Xu Ye had been teleported from their previous location to an unknown place!
“Qin Si?”
Liu Tianyun was most familiar with Qin Si’s attack patterns. Upon seeing this spatial teleportation, he immediately recognized the person.
Tang Qiao tilted her head. “Who is Qin Si?”
She seemed to have heard the name, yet she also seemed to have never met him.
A figure slowly emerged from the darkness. His narrow phoenix eyes, like the perpetual snow on a high mountain, were incredibly cold. A mere glance made one’s breath hitch.
Liu Tianyun tightened his grip on the Red Lotus in his hand. “You’ve broken through again?”
Qin Si raised his eyes and said coldly, “You are courting death!”
If he hadn’t arrived in time, wouldn’t these three have attacked A’Yi?
Qin Si’s gaze fell upon Xu Ye, and he suddenly lunged forward, drawing the Boundless Cang Han Sword. The sword light, carrying an oppressive chill, struck towards Xu Ye.
Xu Ye’s expression changed. He retreated rapidly but found that the surrounding space had been sealed off by Qin Si at some unknown point.
“Qin Si, if you injure this body, Bai Shengyi will not forgive you,” Xu Ye shouted in panic.
However, it was not very effective; the sword light slowed down.
Xu Ye smirked triumphantly. He knew it would be like this. This man was powerful, but too indulged in love, completely controlled by a woman. He was simply useless.
Of course, it was precisely such a useless person who could be exploited by him.
Thinking of this, Xu Ye smiled hypocritically again. “Qin Si, if you let me go today, I promise I will leave quickly, and…”
“Swish!”
Before Xu Ye could finish speaking, his arm was clamped tightly by something, and he let out a scream.
“Ah! What is it!”
A large red flower silently approached it, opened its bloom, and bit him fiercely. Half of Xu Ye’s body plunged into the flower.
“Pull him out of this body for me!” Qin Si commanded the Red Boundary Solitary Flower in a deep voice, while he himself flashed to Liu Tianyun’s side.
“Why is the Demon Lord running?”
Liu Tianyun’s face was displeased. “Qin Si, do you know what you are doing?”
Qin Si snorted coldly, “Just killing you.”
“Arrogant!” Liu Tianyun glared furiously. “This Venerable is merely a clone. If you kill me, aren’t you afraid of my true body coming to seek revenge?”
In the past fifty years, he had rarely clashed with Qin Si, so his impression of Qin Si remained from their battle on the snow mountain. He had always believed that if he met Qin Si again, he would surely be able to kill him.
But he had never expected that Qin Si’s aura would be so powerful now, having surpassed him!
Liu Tianyun still had many things he wanted to accomplish; he did not want to die.
But Qin Si also had no intention of letting him go, scoffing, “So what?”
Liu Tianyun’s lips moved, wanting to ask Tang Qiao for help, but he saw the Black-eyed Tiger on the other side licking its paws, having already blocked Tang Qiao.
“Kill!”
Without further ado, Qin Si and Chui Ming charged at Liu Tianyun and Tang Qiao!
