Chapter 1 Apparently Losing Ground

Obviously, the combination of Jin Buyi and the Old Dragon King was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.

After all, this was Yuan Jia and Yuan Meng's home ground, and although the formation structure had experienced some chaos, this chaos would be adjusted over time.

In other words, Yuan Jia and Yuan Meng were destined to become stronger as the battle progressed, while Jin Buyi and the Old Dragon King were in a state of constant consumption, difficult to recover from or compensate for.

Jin Sanniang had obviously seen through this point, which was why she was determined to lead the entire team to retreat outwards.

As for whether such a desertion in the face of battle would violate the rules of the Six Doors... had they forgotten? This operation, in name, was not an official task of the Six Doors, but a spontaneous and voluntary action.

Since it wasn't an official task, deserting in the face of battle didn't count as a violation of the law.

At most, after suffering heavy casualties, those who escaped back to the Six Doors would face some inquiries.

These minor troubles were completely insignificant compared to losing their lives.

At this time, there were also some Six Doors constables who had the same idea as Jin Sanniang.

Among the three Gold Badge constables, apart from one who was actually approaching the core of the main battlefield, wanting to create opportunities for Jin Buyi, Jin Sanniang and another Gold Badge constable were quietly increasing the distance, preparing to withdraw.

Buzz!

The turning point of the battle suddenly appeared.

The Old Dragon King Yuan Zhen, who was originally working with Jin Buyi to resist the pressure, suddenly betrayed Jin Buyi, taking advantage of Jin Buyi's step forward and the swinging of his double halberds to launch an attack, he retreated a few steps, planning to take the opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield.

Jin Buyi held his double halberds with both hands, his powerful will enough to distort space and simulate celestial phenomena.

When he swung the double halberds in his hands, what everyone saw was not the scene of the double halberds falling, but two bolts of lightning flying from beyond the sky, breaking through layers of obstacles, about to tear everything apart.

The ability of a cultivator in the Intent Realm was to replace the will of Heaven with their own will within a small range.

My will overrides the will of Heaven.

Simulating celestial phenomena and infusing the power of heavenly tribulation and divine punishment into a single strike was a standard operation.

However, Jin Buyi's powerful and fierce strike did not achieve any breakthrough.

Yuan Jia and Yuan Meng were also not to be trifled with.

The division of strength among demon cultivators was slightly different from that of humans, but overall, Yuan Jia and Yuan Meng were also super combat forces at the Intent Realm level.

With the cooperation of the two dragons, plus the environmental bonus of the Dragon Palace Secret Realm, their power level was even higher than Jin Buyi's.

Jin Buyi's attack, which seemed to tear the sky and shatter the peaks with lightning, only stirred up a slight ripple on the golden barrier propped up by Yuan Jia.

The Old Dragon King Yuan Zhen was about to take the opportunity to escape, but was entangled again by Yuan Meng, who darted over.

Leaving the Old Dragon King Yuan Zhen behind was the main goal of Yuan Jia and Yuan Meng.

Fighting with Jin Buyi was just a stumbling block before this goal.

It must be said that the Old Dragon King Yuan Zhen had made a rather stupid decision, and under normal circumstances, he would have paid the price for this stupid decision.

"Divine Constable Jin! We have no real conflict. Yuan Zhen is despicable, you have personally experienced it."

"For his own benefit, he can easily betray and trample on anyone. Why should you fight to the death with me here for such a despicable dragon?" Yuan Jia took the opportunity to persuade Jin Buyi.

Jin Buyi should have stopped at this time, using reason to restrain his impulse, anger, and greed.

But at this moment, the Heart Pill planted in his body was taking effect.

That was the suppressed seven emotions and six desires of the demoness Ying Shu for many years, and the emotional impulse when they were released and erupted was by no means as simple as one plus one.

Jin Buyi was affected, but he was not aware of it.

Facing Yuan Jia's reconciliation, he ignored it, and only swung the double halberds in his hands more steadily and powerfully.

The personal will that was already strong enough to interfere with and conquer the will of Heaven was now even stronger.

Vaguely, there was a possibility of tearing apart the barrier of this formation and directly controlling all the celestial phenomena within a small range.

The Heart Pill... was not such an inconvenient thing!

Although it strengthened the seven emotions and six desires of the pill furnace, making the furnace prone to emotional dysregulation.

But at the same time, it also strengthened the personal abilities of the furnace, as well as its perception and manipulation of heaven, earth, energy, and the myriad phenomena of nature.

In simple terms, it was superimposing part of Ying Shu's abilities onto Jin Buyi's body.

This was also by no means as simple as one plus one.

For cultivators like Ye Chuxiao, who had just entered the Subtle Realm and had not fully released their power, the bonus effect of the Heart Pill was not yet very intuitive.

Jin Buyi, as a powerhouse in the Intent Realm, clearly felt the power provided by the Heart Pill.

At this time, when he swung the black short halberds in his hands again, an extremely subtle, pitch-black arc would appear in the air with each strike, like a spatial crack.

When enough of these arcs were superimposed.

Spatial rifts were produced.

The formation of the Dragon Palace Secret Realm was being cracked by Jin Buyi in a forceful tearing manner, creating cracks one after another.

He stubbornly wanted to subdue Yuan Jia and Yuan Meng, and subdue the Old Dragon King Yuan Zhen as a puppet to control the Yunmeng Daze for him.

He himself would be the uncrowned king of this Yunmeng Daze.

The Old Dragon King was indeed despicable, vile, lewd, cowardly, and irresponsible, but from another perspective, these shortcomings were not necessarily advantages.

At least, if he was really under control, then he would be a good dog.

As long as the advantage was always maintained, he would not dare to have the slightest thought of rebellion.

Jin Buyi leaped into the air, the short halberds in his hands fiercely falling again.

The space-tearing edge cut through the already energy-laden hall, like a spark falling into rolling oil.

Everything visible to the naked eye was trembling and shaking violently.

Yuan Jia dodged Jin Buyi's attack rather embarrassedly, his face becoming serious.

At the same time, he quickly distanced himself from Jin Buyi, using ranged attacks to harass Jin Buyi.

As a Dragon King who had been in countless battles, Yuan Jia could not possibly fail to notice the unusual state of Jin Buyi's emotions at this moment.

When the opponent was frenzied and overconfident, temporarily avoiding them was a very effective tactic.

A frenzied opponent seemed terrifying, but in reality, they could not last long. As soon as they showed signs of fatigue, a flaw could be found and the victory could be decided with one blow.

"They all say that the dragon race has a powerful physical body, and whether it's close combat or long-range attacks, they have advantages far beyond the ordinary... then take a look, can my attack shatter your dragon scales and flay your dragon skin?" Jin Buyi asked Yuan Jia proudly.

Seeing Yuan Jia retreat, Jin Buyi's originally rich combat experience was now blinded by the illusion of short-term gain.

As for Yuan Zhen, who originally wanted to escape, he shamelessly turned around and leaned towards Jin Buyi again.

On one side, he smiled obsequiously at Jin Buyi, his eyes full of flattery.

On the other side, he also said to Yuan Meng: "Meng'er! It's not too late for you to turn back now. As long as you help me regain the throne, you will still be the Dragon Queen, second only to one dragon and above ten thousand aquatic creatures."

"The things of the past were all misunderstandings... I can let bygones be bygones."

Yuan Meng sneered: "Regain the throne? You're dreaming!"

"You're not even as good as your brother's toe, and you still want me to continue living with you?"

These words were obviously full of instigation and provocation, and no male could tolerate it.

This Dragon Queen, who originally seemed to be as fiery and forthright as fire, was in fact able to endure humiliation and bear burdens for a hundred years, secretly plotting to help Yuan Jia seize control of the Dragon Palace, and was by no means as simple as she appeared on the surface.

First impressions were prone to cause errors in judgment.

And many mature and experienced hunters were very good at creating 'first impressions' to mislead their opponents.

Yuan Zhen's face completely darkened, his expression extremely gloomy.

He turned his head and said to Jin Buyi: "Divine Constable Jin! Please use your full strength, you can kill my unworthy brother... As for Yuan Meng, cripple her dragon tendons! I'm doing this for her own good. Without strength, she will be docile and enjoy peace with me."

Even when stimulated like this, he still put the pressure on Jin Buyi, while he himself seemed to take no responsibility at all.

As slippery as the scales on his body, which had been soaked in thick oil for many years.

Boom!

Jin Buyi did not respond to the Old Dragon King Yuan Zhen's words.

At this time, he had transformed into a black whirlwind, spinning at high speed.

As the short halberds cut wildly through the air, the spatial loopholes, like a sphere absorbing and leaking everything, collapsed and contracted all the surrounding energy.

The hall was collapsing.

The rotating energy collapse vortex not only affected the aquatic creatures of the Dragon Palace.

Even the Six Doors constables who were still entangled with many aquatic soldiers on the side were also affected.

Some constables who were inadvertently caught in the vortex were torn to pieces by the terrifying energy before they could even scream.

"Lord Jin! Stop quickly, the brothers can't hold on either!" The Gold Badge constable closest to Jin Buyi grabbed two constables who were being sucked over and shouted in the direction of Jin Buyi.

But Jin Buyi did not stop his movements, but instead rotated and waved even more violently.

He had completely transformed into a greedy black hole, seeming to devour everything.

Living beings that approached him would be swallowed and crushed.

Aquatic creatures of the Dragon Palace, Six Doors constables, the energy swarming around, and the building materials that made up the Dragon Palace hall... all of these were filled into the black hole transformed by Jin Buyi.

Making this black hole even larger and more terrifying.

"Jin Buyi... can't hold on anymore?"

"Heart Pill... is it that terrifying? Jin Buyi is also a powerhouse in the Intent Realm, is he going to be finished?" Ye Chuxiao, who felt good about himself and thought that he had not been affected at all, and Jin Sanniang and others, who were not concealing anything at all, had already escaped to the gate of the palace while resisting the powerful pulling force.

Also escaping were some of the constables, as well as a large number of aquatic creatures from the Dragon Palace.

At a rough glance, more than half of the constables who had come with Jin Buyi had been lost on this trip.

A large part of them had died at the hands of Jin Buyi.

It had to be said that Jin Buyi had stepped on the danger line.

If he could not take down Yunmeng Daze, then even if he escaped back to Shenjing, he would face huge pressure from other colleagues and the court.

Losing so many people, and not for the mission of the imperial court, he would have to bear huge responsibility.

Facing the problem of the Heart Pill, Ye Chuxiao was obviously talking without back pain.

He was only bearing 30% of the Heart Pill, but the power of the Heart Pill was not calculated in the normal way of 10% at a time.

Strictly speaking, the burden caused by 30% of the Heart Pill was less than one-fifth of that of 70% of the Heart Pill.

It was like an iron ball weighing one or two and an iron ball weighing one catty. It seemed that the difference was not big, but the pain of hitting the body was not on the same level at all.

"Can't let Jin Buyi go crazy like this!"

"He may not be completely out of control now, but if he continues like this, it's only a matter of time before he completely loses control."

"If he's finished, then I'll have to bear all the pressure, and even far more than what Jin Buyi is bearing now. At that time... I'm afraid that the spiritual shield transformed by the clown will not be able to defend against such impact pressure." Ye Chuxiao thought, and quickly communicated with the demoness Ying Shu through the Heart Pill, asking her if she had any way.

Although Ying Shu occupied the initiative in terms of spiritual connection.

But Ye Chuxiao could also feedback some information unilaterally, but whether he got a response depended on whether Ying Shu noticed it.

Obviously, Ying Shu was always paying attention to her two 'furnaces'.

Locked in the dungeon of the Ministry of Justice, Ying Shu had nothing else to do except pay attention to her two furnaces.

In a sense, Ying Shu could be completely regarded as a 'portable old grandfather'.

It was just that this 'old grandfather' had a very good figure and a very wow appearance.

Of course, that didn't matter.

"What, you said Jin Buyi lost control?" Ying Shu showed even more panic than Ye Chuxiao.

This was also the first time that Ye Chuxiao had felt the emotion of 'panic' from Ying Shu's tone.

Of course, it was also possible that Ying Shu had now grasped the true emotions from the feedback of Ye Chuxiao and Jin Buyi.

And no longer the emotionless performance machine before.

"Don't you know this?" Ye Chuxiao asked in his heart.

Ying Shu said: "He doesn't know where he learned the 'Forget Love Curse' of the Supreme Dao, and actively erased the spiritual connection established between me and him."

Although Ying Shu's tone was calm, Ye Chuxiao could still feel the hidden anger and unwillingness in it.

How to say it!

Her original plan was to take Jin Buyi as a big sucker.

Unexpectedly, Jin Buyi was not stupid either, and played a hand of 'not paying after playing', and made a profit of a Heart Pill for nothing.

This was equivalent to Jin Buyi suffering both the backlash and the bonus of the Heart Pill.

However, the feedback that the Heart Pill should have given to Ying Shu was greatly reduced, almost to nothing.

Ying Shu could not obtain much feedback from the Heart Pill from Jin Buyi.

"Heh! Then you're now counting on me?" Ye Chuxiao secretly noted down the 'Forget Love Curse', planning to find an opportunity to see if he could also learn it.

"What's the use of counting on you? You've only just entered the Subtle Realm, and you still need me to guide you on all kinds of cultivation insights, instead of you feeding back to me. You think you're all relying on yourself for entering the Subtle Realm so smoothly? Of course, there are also my insights, which are fed back to you through the connection between you and me." Ying Shu said with a contemptuous tone.

"Don't even think about learning the 'Forget Love Curse'. Although I don't know where Jin Buyi learned it, as long as he doesn't enter the gate of the Supreme Dao and really become a disciple of the Supreme Dao, then he will have to face the backlash of the 'Forget Love Curse'. This is just driving a tiger to swallow a wolf. Do you think that those ancient sects that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years in the various realms have such easy-to-learn techniques and methods?"

"The techniques are passed down casually, but the secrets are hidden within the sect, with hearts reflecting each other, sealed in the soul. This is a common method used by cross-realm sects, not only to maintain the orthodoxy without chaos, but also to ensure that the inheritance is not destroyed. Even if the mountain gate collapses and the lair is destroyed, as long as the soul of the direct disciple escapes, they can still collect the core techniques scattered outside according to fate, open the secret treasure in the soul, and reshape the glory." Ying Shu was still in the mood to talk to Ye Chuxiao about this at this time, which showed that she had already determined Jin Buyi's state.

The reality was not as she said, she had completely lost control over Jin Buyi.

A demoness was a demoness, and there was no truth in her mouth.

Ye Chuxiao would not give up the idea of severing the connection because of her few words.

Of course, before severing the connection, it was still necessary to take advantage of this kind of communication to shear wool.

"What's his situation now?" Ye Chuxiao brought the topic back.

"He's just emotionally out of control, he should have been stimulated a bit."

"Either let him vent enough, and he will naturally calm down after he is exhausted."

"Or, you try to get close to him as much as possible, and I will influence him through the Heart Pill on your body to help him calm down." Ying Shu said.

Ye Chuxiao did not hesitate and said directly: "Then wait for him to be exhausted!"

Ying Shu said: "Okay! But there is a problem. If you are now in a state of confrontation, after he finishes his emotional outburst, if you don't get rid of the opponent, it is very likely that you will be solved by the opponent."

"Even if you escape, if he is killed, all the Heart Pills and the backlash will follow the transfer rules and all fall on you."

"So your best choice now is to try to get close to him as much as possible."

Ying Shu obviously did not care about Ye Chuxiao's safety.

Compared to Ye Chuxiao's add-on, she valued Jin Buyi's main furnace more.

In order to ensure the 'safety' of the main furnace, sacrificing Ye Chuxiao's 'spare tire furnace' was a completely acceptable price.

"Damn!" Ye Chuxiao cursed angrily, then disregarded the pain and took out the imprinted talisman with 50% of the power of the Juntian Sword.

Of course, he did not intend to follow Ying Shu's instructions to get close to Jin Buyi, who was in an extremely dangerous state at this time.

Rushing over at this time was just delivering his head.

Burning himself to fulfill others.

But Ye Chuxiao could not really let go.

Just like Ying Shu said, if Jin Buyi was defeated and killed by Yuan Jia and Yuan Meng, then he would immediately suffer the Heart Pill's backlash.

At this time, Ye Chuxiao could only use the Juntian Sword talisman he had exchanged to help Jin Buyi bear the pressure and force back the joint attack from Yuan Jia and Yuan Meng.

Only by forcing back the two dragons could Jin Buyi's emotions possibly calm down.

Holding the talisman high above his head, he was about to instill and activate it with shaking, huge energy.

Although theoretically, only a little energy was needed to activate the talisman.

But the more energy injected during activation, the stronger the effect and duration of this attack.

"Wait! Don't use it!" A shadow of green flashed past. Yuan Meng, the Dragon Queen, who was originally entangled with the Old Dragon King Yuan Zhen and helping Yuan Jia to bear the current outbreak of Jin Buyi, suddenly leaped and jumped in front of Ye Chuxiao.

When she flew over and transformed into human form, Ye Chuxiao noticed that she was extremely tall, at least 1.8 meters.

A pair of long legs, straight and slender, coupled with that sassy and sexy outfit, gave her a very mature and dominant vibe.

"Give him to me, and I'll let you go!" Yuan Meng stared at the talisman in Ye Chuxiao's hand, her slender figure seemed to be trembling with excitement.

"Don't be fooled, Little Ye... Activate it and give Divine Constable Jin a helping hand." Jin Sanniang said quickly from the side.

On a certain level, Jin Sanniang's judgment was not wrong.

But the next moment, she was also knocked away by Yuan Meng with one blow, crashing into a mountain depression.

"Stop! Don't move!"

"If you dare to move, I will kill you all at the cost of my life!"

"I mean what I say."

"You give him to me, and I will not only let you go, but also give you a generous reward. I can swear to the heavens that I will never lie." Yuan Meng said quickly, fearing that Ye Chuxiao would shake his hand and inject the energy he had gathered into the talisman.

Ye Chuxiao was also thinking at this time, why was Yuan Meng so concerned about this talisman.

It didn't seem like she was afraid that Ye Chuxiao would activate it and cause trouble.

"Wait! Could it be..." Ye Chuxiao suddenly thought of the introduction of the old constable who guarded the treasure house when he exchanged the talisman.

"Could it be that this talisman is made of the skin of King Chen, Xiao Chi?" Ye Chuxiao asked directly.

Yuan Meng's face changed slightly, but she nodded to Ye Chuxiao and said: "That's right! You are very smart."

"You give him to me, and I will compensate you with treasures three times more valuable than this talisman."

At this time, the Old Dragon King Yuan Zhen, who originally wanted to leave, reappeared: "Little constable! Give me this thing, quickly!"

Ye Chuxiao turned a deaf ear to the Old Dragon King Yuan Zhen's shouts. After discovering that the other party had the posture of coming over to snatch it, he directly changed direction and aimed at this despicable old dragon.

"If you dare to come over, I will use it to slap you in the face."

"I also want to know if a strike with 50% of the power of the Juntian Sword can kill you, an old dragon." Ye Chuxiao threatened.

"You're lying, you don't dare to attack me, and you don't dare to waste the chips like this." Although the Old Dragon King said so, he no longer approached.

He had already noticed that Ye Chuxiao's reaction speed was far beyond his level.

The probability of snatching the talisman from Ye Chuxiao's hands by surprise was extremely small.

"Boy! You give it to me, and I promise to give you five times the compensation."

"Or... you can give it to Meng'er, but Meng'er... you have to promise me to come back to my side, and help me kill Yuan Jia together." The Old Dragon King had already started using Ye Chuxiao's talisman for transactions on his own, as if he had completely forgotten that Ye Chuxiao had never agreed to hand over the talisman to him.

The Old Dragon King turned his head and added to Ye Chuxiao: "It's good for you to agree to my deal. Not only is it five times the compensation, but I also know many big figures in the Great Heng Dynasty. I can introduce you so that you can step on the real pinnacle of power, instead of being a mere insignificant Silver Badge constable."

Ye Chuxiao did not show any intention of being moved when he heard this.

He just said very simply: "Very tempting, but I don't trust you, a shameless dragon like you."

The reason was very simple.

The Old Dragon King just wanted to use the talisman in Ye Chuxiao's hand. If he didn't fulfill what he said, what could Ye Chuxiao do to him?

In terms of sincerity alone, Yuan Meng was willing to swear to the heavens.

And the Old Dragon King Yuan Zhen did not mention a word.

Just drawing a big cake.

On the other side, the battle in the main hall had entered the final stage.

Just like Ying Shu said, Jin Buyi was about to enter a weak state after his outbreak.

The 'black hole' that swallowed everything was not only no longer expanding, but also appeared unstable.

And the Dragon King Yuan Jia did not know when he had summoned the Crystal Palace.

This Crystal Palace, which was built by Yuan Zhen and was originally intended to please Yuan Meng, had obviously become an extremely powerful magic weapon after Yuan Jia had reforged it.

As the Crystal Palace fell, all the disordered energy of heaven and earth was transformed into the power of the five elements.

The five elements circulated, like a large millstone, pressing Jin Buyi in the center, as if to grind him.

No matter how strong the 'black hole' was, it was only the power of one person, and it was far from being able to completely shake the accumulation of the Dragon Palace Secret Realm for many years.

"You can have the talisman."

"But, I want you to swear to the heavens, not only to compensate me for my losses, but also to all the Six Doors constables present, you must let us leave safely."

"Including Jin Buyi!" Saying this, Ye Chuxiao suddenly changed his mind, and then added: "Also! I want you and Dragon King Yuan Jia to escort us back to Shenjing."

Ye Chuxiao never rejected speculating about people with the greatest malice.

Jin Buyi had suffered a big fall this time, and under the emotional outbreak, the number of Six Doors constables who died directly at his hands was not a small number.

Returning to Shenjing like this, the accusations and criticisms he would face, as well as the punishment from the Great Heng Dynasty, could not be underestimated.

The most important thing was that it would leave an extremely deep stain on his originally bright resume.

If he was cruel, it was not impossible for him to kill all the remaining people on the way back, and then completely blame it on Dragon King Yuan Jia, provoking the confrontation between Yunmengze and the Great Heng Dynasty.

Even for Jin Buyi, whose mentality was affected at this time, this was a very tempting choice.

Even if Ye Chuxiao could use Dao Rhyme as a ticket to escape at a critical moment, it was not a particularly good choice.

Ye Chuxiao, alone, would only be reduced to a fugitive, becoming an informant placed in the Six Doors by Dragon King Yuan Jia.

No matter what the truth was.

For the Six Doors, for the Great Heng Dynasty, the importance of a Divine Constable with Intent Realm cultivation was far greater than that of Ye Chuxiao, a mere Silver Badge.

To be more cynical, in order to maintain some dignity.

Even if Jin Buyi did not do it, maybe there would be other people who would do it.

Let Yuan Jia and Yuan Meng escort them back to Beijing to explain the entanglements and reasons.

Was the best choice.

Faced with Ye Chuxiao's conditions, Yuan Meng only hesitated for a second or two, and then immediately swore to the heavens.

"I, Yuan Meng, hereby swear to the heavens that as long as you hand over the talisman in your hand completely to me, I will return to you a compensation three times the value, and at the same time release all the captured Six Doors constables, including Jin Buyi... and promise to escort you back to Shenjing with Dragon King Yuan Jia." Yuan Meng swore.

After Yuan Meng finished swearing, Ye Chuxiao relaxed, waiting for the other party to receive the talisman.

It just so happened that at this time, Yuan Zhen moved!

He attacked Ye Chuxiao, not only to snatch the talisman in his hand, but also to kill Ye Chuxiao directly.
