A Disciple of the Myriad Forms Sect
In the eastern sea area of Four Symbols Island, three Escape Light— one blue and two red—race against each other at breakneck speed.
A powerful aura belonging to Golden Core Cultivator spread out.
"Hurry up and catch up with him! He's a remnant of the Myriad Forms Sect, he must have a lot of good stuff on him!" The speaker was an old man wearing a black and red robe with a unique emblem of the Blood-Slaying Dao on his sleeves.
"Wait a minute, my Blood Demon Escape Technique will be ready to be used again soon. This guy thinks he can escape to Four Symbols Island for refuge? He's dreaming! Hehe, it's been a long time since I've devoured Immortal Dao Golden Core. You're not allowed to take it from me this time!" The chubby Golden Core Devil Cultivator replied to his companion with greed on his face.
"Don't worry, I only want his resources and his soul!"
Ahead, Yan Huan of the True Person Myriad Forms Sect was fleeing in panic.
Since the destruction of the Myriad Forms Sect headquarters in Mo Province, the Myriad Forms Sect branch, which stood in the Chaotic Sea, was quickly targeted by other forces.
Before long, it fell apart. Some of the Myriad Forms Sect cultivators managed to escape, but they were targeted by cruel and greedy Devil Cultivators.
Especially the Blood-Slaying Dao, they had a Spirit Transformation cultivator who was killed by the Spirit Transformation elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect during their attack on the Myriad Forms Sect.
Having lost a Spirit Transformation, the Blood-Slaying Dao naturally sought revenge, relentlessly pursuing the remnants of the Myriad Forms Sect.
Things were a bit better in the Northern River Region; they didn't dare to act recklessly.
However, there are no limits in the Chaotic Sea.
As long as the Devil Cultivators here don't indiscriminately harm Mortals, no one will care no matter how many cultivators they kill.
On the contrary, if they attack mortals, even if they are Nascent Soul demon cultivators, they will be subjected to a full-scale encirclement and capture by the local forces.
The chase continued, and soon the two Devil Cultivators behind them increased their speed dramatically. Crimson light covered their bodies, and from a distance, they looked like blood-red meteors streaking across the sky.
Lower Divine Ability, Blood Demon Escape Technique!
Feeling the two bloody auras rapidly closing in from behind, Yan Huan True Person's eyes revealed despair.
However, at that very moment, a whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea not far ahead.
Then, six Cultivators stepped out, led by a handsome young man dressed in a dark Purple Robes, who was holding a sullen little black dog in his arms.
Upon seeing Yang Tianyou and his group, True Person Yan Huan grasped at a straw. His eyes darted around, and with the thought of sacrificing his own life for his Daoist Friends, he cried out, "Senior brother, save me!"
"Oh no! Someone's coming to our rescue!" the old Devil Cultivator exclaimed in alarm.
"It doesn't seem like a rescue, more like a passing Immortal Dao cultivator, except for the way he appeared just now..." The chubby Devil Cultivator narrowed his eyes, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.
Slowly, the fat Devil Cultivator's eyes lit up, and he said breathlessly, "He came from the Four Symbols Secret Realm!"
"The Four Symbols Secret Realm? You mean..." The old Devil Cultivator also realized what was happening, and his gaze towards Yang Tianyou instantly turned greedy.
At this moment, within the Four Symbols Secret Realm, the Guardian Deity General muttered to himself, "What's going on? The Teleportation Formation has deviated from its course?"
After checking, the Guardian Deity General puzzled. There was no problem. Could it be that something went wrong during the teleportation?
Yang Tianyou looked at Yan Huan True Person rushing towards him from the sky, and heard the words "Senior Brother" in his ears.
He involuntarily lowered his gaze and looked at Zhiming.
Good heavens, we didn't get Meteorite, but we did run into some trouble.
"Nineteenth Younger Brother, there are three Golden Core, and the two behind them are looking at us strangely!" Yang Tiankang drew his longsword, his eyes filled with vigilance.
The other clansmen also took out their Law Artifacts and stood ready for battle.
Yang Tianyou's gaze remained calm as he said indifferently, "Not a single one of them is any good; they've all been thoroughly humiliated!"
With his intelligence, he naturally guessed that the two Devil Cultivators had already figured something out. After all, the appearance of this spatial vortex was too sudden, and its location was not far from the entrance of the Four Symbols Nine Trials.
Anyone who witnessed this scene shortly after the Four Symbols Secret Realm closed would have thought things through.
Not to mention, they were two cunning and suspicious Devil Cultivators.
The blue-robed Golden Core, however, probably didn't think much of it. But his intentions weren't exactly honorable either; he was clearly trying to shift the blame and drag Yang Tianyou and the others into the mess.
Neither side is a good person, and given Yang Tianyou's personality, he naturally wouldn't hold back.
"Three Early Golden Core, hmph..."
With Shen Yi, he waved his sleeves, and several of his Bonded Spirit Beasts — Fengling, Yuan Ba, Xuanyin, Ruoqing, Black and White, Tongming —were released from the Mountain-Sea Pearl.
Boom!!
A powerful aura surged into the sky, startling Yan Huan True Person the two Devil Cultivators.
The two exchanged a glance, and sensing something was amiss, immediately stopped in their tracks.
True Person Yan Huan, clinging to a sliver of hope, lowered his head and flew silently toward Yang Tianyou.
"You two are for the last two, kill them both! I'll take this one!"
Yang Tianyou pointed at the two Devil Cultivators, and the six Spirit Beasts nodded in agreement, then pounced on them fiercely.
Fengling acted the fastest, and the Purple Moon Divine Light arrived in an instant, freezing the two Golden Core cultivators in mid-air.
Although it only lasted for two breaths before they broke free, it bought enough time for the other Spirit Beasts.
"Giggle!"
Xuanyin flapped her wings, and a thunderous explosion transformed into tangible sound waves that struck the two Golden Core Devil Cultivators.
Ruoqing spread her wings, transforming into an ice-blue rainbow. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of the two Golden Core Devil Cultivators. Ice raged forth, and frost condensed in the sky.
The two Golden Core Devil Cultivators were first immobilized by the fastest-moving Purple Moon Divine Light.
Then he was shaken by the sound waves, causing his internal Law Power to become unbalanced.
Then, Ruoqing's Ice aura completely cut off their escape route.
Finally, the six Spirit Beasts swarmed forward, and before long, the two Demon Dao Golden Core cultivators were utterly destroyed, their souls scattered, and they perished on the spot.
On the other side, Yang Tianyou, holding the half-dead Yan Huan True Person in his hand, asked with a half-smile, "You said I'm your senior brother?"
"No, no, it was just a temporary measure. Please forgive me this time, Daoist Friends. Yan Huan will surely repay you handsomely!" True Person Yan Huan pleaded humbly.
"A generous reward? No need, I'll take what I want myself!" Yang Tianyou sneered, and in Yan Huan True Person's despairing gaze, he snapped his neck.
A crack appeared between his brows, revealing the illusory image of Copper Mirror. The clear mirror surface resembled a divine eye, from which a beam of white light shone.
Just as Yan Huan True Person's soul was trying to escape, it was pulled by the white light, along with his True Spirit, and dragged into the Copper Mirror.
Soon, a blank face appeared on the mirror!
"Let's go, let's get out of here first!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Yang Tianyou released Bianhe Boat, its golden wings fluttering gently as it sped towards the direction of Four Symbols Island.
On the Flying Boat, Yang Tianyou closed his eyes slightly, browsing through Yan Huan True Person's memories.
"He's actually a disciple of the Myriad Forms Sect, but his status is just so-so; he's just a sect steward and doesn't know many secrets."
"However, this 'Myriad Forms Sect Myriad Forms Forest-Law Scripture' from the Myriad Manifestations Sect is an unexpected gain. It can be recorded and placed in the Lineage's Scripture Repository!"
After browsing through Yan Huan True Person's memories, Yang Tianyou took three Storage Rings and transferred the resources inside to the Mountain-Sea Pearl.
Three Early Golden Core cultivators naturally had a considerable amount of stored resources; all things added up, it amounted to over two million Spirit Stones, which was quite a sum.
Of these resources, True Person Yan Huan contributed half, which explains why those two Devil Cultivators were hunting him down.
For a cultivator in the Early Golden Core, one million Spirit Stones is quite a lot, enough for them to cultivate to the Middle Golden Core.
