Yi Family Old Ancestor Obtains Severed Blade Sars

"He's out! Everyone, pay attention!"

"Oh no, he's leaving!"

"Quickly use the Sound Transmission Flying Sword to notify the ancestor!"

As soon as Xiao Chen entered Azure Sea Market, he was immediately discovered by the cultivators of the Yi Family.

They immediately mobilized more than ten cultivators to take turns keeping a close watch on his movements.

Because an informant only needs to keep an eye on their assigned area.

We will never track or spy on our targets.

Therefore, this method is extremely secretive and quite difficult to detect.

Before Xiao Chen could reach the edge of the island, a Small Sword shimmering with spiritual light pierced the sky and sped away.

Many Sound Transmission Spirit Sword come and go in the market every day, so it didn't attract much attention.

It fell smoothly into the hands of the Yi Family Old Ancestor who arrived just in time.

"Ahem, Xiao Chen, I've finally been waiting for you."

After reading the message inside the Flying Sword, the Yi Family Old Ancestor immediately recalled their brief meeting on Listening Wave Island.

He immediately sensed that the young man beside him possessed an exceptionally vigorous life force.

That vibrant energy was something you couldn't find in other cultivators.

For months, the Yi Family Old Ancestor had been thinking about Xiao Chen constantly, wanting to capture him to use as a powerful medicine.

"Sigh, those useless guys at home are getting more and more incompetent."

He hovered in the clouds, concealing his figure. "Since we happen to be nearby, I will personally take charge."

Most of the time, Nascent Soul Cultivator prefer to do things in a respectable manner.

Simply put, it means not taking action himself, but instead directing his subordinates to surround and capture them.

However, the Yi Family members had lost track of the Bronze Mask Cultivator while they were in the Listening Wave Sea.

The three men teamed up to make the arrest, but one of them was killed and the other man escaped unscathed.

Considering Xiao Chen's amazing performance on the Eight Directions Arena, the Yi Family Old Ancestor decided to capture him personally as a precaution.

However, he did not choose to take action in or near the market.

Firstly, it would be disgraceful and unseemly for the powerful to bully the weak if word got out.

Secondly, and more importantly.

That is, in the eyes of the Yi Family Old Ancestor, Xiao Chen is the Hidden Dao Heritage Successor, not one of those rogue cultivators without a background who can be manipulated at will.

If news of the public attack leaks out, it could potentially invite retaliation from the other side.

So he decided to be patient and choose a secluded spot to make his move.

"Huh? He's spotted me?"

After leaving the market town for a short distance, the Yi Family Old Ancestor was surprised to find that Xiao Chen's escape speed had suddenly increased by 30%.

At first, he thought that the other party might have noticed something amiss.

But then he noticed that the other party's aura was steady, and there were no special Spiritual Power fluctuations from using Secret Method or Talisman.

It seems they were just traveling normally.

"Hiss~, wait, it's actually accelerating! How come this junior's escape speed is so fast?"

As Xiao Chen flew faster and faster, even the Yi Family Old Ancestor felt a bit strained.

As the one following, he not only needs to maintain speed, but also needs to be careful to conceal his figure.

Despite the restrictions that prevented him from being exposed, he surprisingly felt himself being left behind.

In other words, the two are Major Realm apart.

If it were the Yi Family Old Ancestor who only had Golden Core in his youth, he really wouldn't be able to compare to Xiao Chen.

They say you learn from your mistakes.

"Fortunately, this time I was careful and didn't send my clansmen to hunt me down."

"Otherwise, we would have really let this kid go."

The Yi Family Old Ancestor secretly rejoiced at his own foresight.

However, this also served as a reminder to him that Xiao Chen should not be treated in the usual way.

To ensure everything went smoothly and to prevent Xiao Chen from carrying any life-saving items bestowed upon him by his Lineage elders that could help him escape.

The Yi Family Old Ancestor silently recited the mental incantation, activating the Divine Sense Secret Art.

A hidden Spiritual Sense Mark was placed on Xiao Chen from afar.

Anyone marked by this secret technique will emit a hidden and unique fluctuation of Divine Sense.

As long as someone appears within a thousand miles of the Yi Family Old Ancestor, his exact location will be immediately sensed by him.

Moreover, the Divine Sense Mark differs from common tracking methods.

Under normal circumstances, even Golden Core cultivator would be unable to detect it.

Even if an anomaly is detected, the mark cannot be removed unless the other party's Spiritual Sense Strength is higher than his.

Therefore, after sensing that the mark had taken effect, the Yi Family Old Ancestor was completely relieved.

With this safeguard in place, Xiao Chen has no chance of escaping today.

Four-quarters of an hour later.

The two arrived at the edge of the Compassion Sea one after the other.

"Strange, why is this kid still walking out? Where is he going?"

The Yi Family Old Ancestor felt both curious and somewhat pleased.

The Outer Sea is great; there are usually few people Outer Sea, making it perfect for him to make his move.

If he were a member of the Yi Family, he might wonder why Xiao Chen would deliberately run to such a remote place.

Have you noticed anything amiss?

However, as Nascent Soul True Lord, the Yi Family Old Ancestor naturally had no such worries and was not afraid of Xiao Chen playing any tricks.

He straightened up and looked around.

His gaze swept across a radius of a thousand miles, confirming that there was no one else around.

So he stopped hiding his speed and flew at full speed through the air, rushing in front of Xiao Chen and blocking his path.

"Who goes there!"

Suddenly intercepted, Xiao Chen immediately stopped his escape technique.

Upon closer inspection, the person who arrived was none other than the Yi Family Old Ancestor, whom he had met by chance in the Auction Hall last time.

He was still wondering what the other person's purpose was in suddenly rushing out to stop him.

Instead of a reply, they heard a loud, aged shout.

"The Black Dragon Surges from the Water, lock!"

The Yi Family Old Ancestor had already formed Method Formula in his hands.

At this moment, with a flick of his finger, eighty-one Water Tornado rose from the sea and instantly transformed into a sturdy cage.

ah?

Isn't that wrong?

Xiao Chen wasn't too flustered, after all, he had already experienced three Nascent Soul True Lord blocking the entrance Heaven Star Island.

The key question, however, is: why?

He was somewhat confused. He had been in the Compassion Sea ever since, but he had never offended the Yi Family!

To be fair, even when he was wanted by the police, he knew why.

This time, Xiao Chen was truly baffled. Could it be that a dignified Nascent Soul True Lord personally intervened just to stand up for Wang Qiang Hu?

That... shouldn't be that bad, right?

"Senior Yi, I will address you as Senior for now."

Unable to figure it out, Xiao Chen decided to try asking and see if he could get some information out of him, "We can say that we have no past grudges or present animosity, so what is the meaning of your attack today?"

However, the Yi Family Old Ancestor turned a deaf ear to this.

Who would explain the reasons to their own medicinal herbs? That would be a waste of breath.

Instead, he extended his right hand, forming a sword shape with his fingers, and aimed it at Xiao Chen's lower abdomen.

Immediately, an invisible Sword Qi aura erupted and slashed towards him, attempting to sever his legs.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion was heard.

The Ghost Mask Profound Light Shield rose in time, its spiritual light bursting forth, and every inscription was flashing in sync, clearly indicating that it had entered the Spirit Ascension Form.

Instantly, a powerful Spiritual Power Barrier formed in front of Xiao Chen, shielding him from the attack.

As a top-tier Golden Core cultivator, he is not cannon fodder who can be easily killed.

"Old Dog Yi, you don't even have many years left to live, and you still come out to fight with people."

Since things have come to this, Xiao Chen wasn't going to tolerate him. "Your attacks are so weak and powerless, are they no longer effective?"

These words struck at the Achilles' heel of the Yi Family Old Ancestor.

He was nearing the end of his life and was extremely sensitive to this.

Now, being provoked like this by a junior, he was immediately enraged. "You little brat, how dare you spout nonsense!"

"Frost Bloom Buries the Moon Wheel!"

Instantly, eight ice wheels, resembling full moons, rose from all directions and struck towards the very center.

"Good timing!"

Xiao Chen smiled instead, "Jade Terrace Fire Lotus!"

Now that his strength has improved again, he wants to test how big the gap is between himself and Nascent Soul True Lord.

"Thump! Thump! Crack!"

With three consecutive loud bangs, the Spiritual Power Barrier was finally shattered, and the Ghost Mask Profound Light Shield was immediately knocked back into Xiao Chen's arms.

"Splash!"

The fiery lotus drooped down, only to be instantly sliced into pieces by the remaining five ice wheels.

Fortunately, thanks to the Hextech enhancement, the Jade Terrace Fire Lotus now has a full one hundred layers.

The layers upon layers of lotus leaves consumed four ice wheels, and the last one was almost worn down to the point of collapse.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen reached out and crushed it to pieces.

"Old Dog Yi, I originally thought that as Nascent Soul True Lord, you should have some strength."

"Is this all the result is?"

"It's absolutely hilarious, hahaha!"

Of course, Xiao Chen was just saying that casually.

The main purpose was to mock the Yi Family Old Ancestor and upset him.

In fact, Xiao Chen had already figured it out, and he could only exchange a few simple blows with his opponent.

After all, the opponent not only used Heaven-Grade Technique of the fourth rank, but also cultivated it for many years, and had reached the Great Accomplishment Realm more than one Law Technique.

In addition, there is a Major Realm.

These factors combined are enough to overwhelm the advantages brought by Hextech.

Once the Yi Family Old Ancestor gets serious, Xiao Chen currently has no real way to win.

Then we'll use the old method again: use the Night's Edge to escape.

"Unfortunately, I'm pressed for time today. I have important business to attend to, so I can't play with you any longer. Goodbye!"

Before leaving, Xiao Chen deliberately left out one more sentence.

He then pretended to turn around and deliberately ran to the east, but in reality, he activated the Condensing Fire Palm and struck himself.

After actively triggering the Night's Edge, it turned and rushed due south.

The intense flames completely obscured his figure.

"You brat, don't run away!"

The Yi Family Old Ancestor rushed forward to try and catch up, but only saw scattered sparks.

He had previously witnessed Xiao Chen using fire magic to travel.

Therefore, they did not suspect anything at first, simply assuming that the other party had used some kind of Escape Secret Technique.

"Oh no, what's going on?"

However, the next moment, the Yi Family Old Ancestor felt that his Spiritual Sense Mark had also been lost, and his heart sank.

Strangely, he clearly didn't feel that his mark had been broken.

But now it's truly impossible to sense it anymore.

This feeling is similar to that of a marked member of Lineage entering Secret Realm or ruins.

The fluctuations emitted by the Spiritual Sense Mark were isolated by some kind of force!

We must not let him escape!

The Yi Family Old Ancestor knew that what he was doing was shady and that if he let Xiao Chen escape today, Xiao Chen might send the news back to the Lineage.

Not to mention that the Yi Family's reputation will be completely ruined in the future.

Hunting Golden Core cultivator will also become a very difficult task for him.

They might even be attacked by everyone under the banner of Exterminate Demons and Defend the Dao.

Although, under normal circumstances, Nascent Soul Cultivator do not easily resort to violence.

However, it's hard to say what this new force, Esteem Truth Temple, will do under such a grand pretext.

Therefore, the Yi Family Old Ancestor had no time to think and immediately got up to chase after them to the east.

"Wrong!"

However, he suddenly stopped, a cold smile appearing on his lips, "Hmph, you little brat, trying to play this feint with me."

"What haven't I seen in my life? I'm not going to fall for such a petty trick."

As he spoke, the Yi Family Old Ancestor suddenly changed direction and chased after them directly to the west.

He had already guessed that Xiao Chen would definitely not obediently run eastward.

But the young man was too young; his acting was completely insincere, and he saw through it on the spot.

Today he's determined to show Xiao Chen what it means to be an experienced person!

Fifteen minutes later.

With the help of the Talisman, the Yi Family Old Ancestor returned to the due east side at an even faster speed.

He overestimated this damned brat; there was no feint attack at all, he just ran off from the east.

Fifteen minutes later.

The Yi Family Old Ancestor stood in mid-air, the salty sea breeze blowing by carrying away the ashes of the Escape Talisman at his waist.

"Little Brat Xiao Chen!"

He forced out those words through gritted teeth.

His fists were clenched tightly, and his face was so dark it looked like it was about to drip water.

If he could capture Xiao Chen now, he would want to tear him apart alive.

But the truth is, even though the Yi Family Old Ancestor personally took action and made preparations in advance, he still lost track of them in the end.

The Nascent Soul True Lord's immense pressure swept across all directions, but could only frighten away schools of fish passing by in the sea.

"Um?"

The Yi Family Old Ancestor suddenly turned his head, his gaze sharpening.

Two thousand miles to the right, a Escape Light passed by; it was a Early-stage Golden Core who was just passing by.

His gaze immediately sharpened, and he grabbed the other person.

"Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life!"

The innocent rogue cultivator was bewildered and at a loss, not knowing how he had offended this unfamiliar Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Then he was sealed away by Secret Method and lost consciousness.

"You're of decent quality, I'll use you as a substitute for now."

"Don't blame the ancestor, blame your own bad luck."

After examining the other party and finding that he was only a little over a hundred years old and had sufficient vitality, the Yi Family Old Ancestor finally relaxed his expression slightly.

Although such outstanding material as Xiao Chen is extremely rare.

However, there is more than one qualified independent cultivator.

At worst, we can expand our operations further and capture more potent medicinal herbs.

We can always hold on a little longer.

The external situation is becoming increasingly complex, with turbulent events and major changes imminent.

The Yi Family Old Ancestor firmly believed that as long as he lived a few more years, he would surely see a new turning point!

However, relying solely on these ordinary cultivators is increasingly unable to meet his needs.

It would be best to capture Xiao Chen and plunder the abundant life force within him!

Only in this way can we be prepared for any eventuality.

Therefore, upon returning to the Lineage, the Yi Family Old Ancestor immediately ordered, "Pass on my command, send three times, no, five times the number of informants."

"Strict control has been deployed over all major markets and key locations in the Compassion Sea."

"Report to me immediately as soon as Xiao Chen shows his face."

After saying that, he grabbed the rogue cultivator and went straight to the Lineage's Secret Chamber.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After a full day and night of flying at full speed.

Xiao Chen finally waited for Night's Edge to cool down completely, and he felt more confident again.

In the days since arriving at the Compassion Sea, he had been relatively busy, but also relatively peaceful.

Whether it was meeting Su Li or participating in different Secret Realm, everything went relatively smoothly.

Everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly.

As a result, today, out of the blue, I was pursued by a Nascent Soul True Lord.

This immediately put him on edge again.

"Hiss~, Old Dog Yi, just wait until I Nascent Soul Formation, you're definitely not going to get away with this!"

Xiao Chen still couldn't figure out what the Yi Family Old Ancestor's motive was for attacking him.

But that doesn't matter anymore; the feud has already been formed.

He, Xiao, has always been one to repay kindness and avenge wrongs; this matter is not over.

"Yes, the most urgent task is to find the Sha Qi!"

Even though he was a little annoyed by the unexpected disaster, Xiao Chen quickly calmed down and began to plan his business.

He retrieved the sea chart from the Vast Sea Ring and quickly located his current position.

After adjusting our direction, we continued towards the first possible location.

It took only five days to reach the island.

Unfortunately, after spending six hours carefully examining the entire island twice with both Divine Sense and eyes, [the task was unsuccessful].

Xiao Chen was disappointed to find that the canyon mentioned in the Inheritance Jade Slip was not there.

In other words, he has to go to that more distant location.

"Alright, good things come to those who wait."

He consoled himself with a thought, reassessed his direction, and continued on his way.

It took another ten days to finally reach the second location.

"Oh, really?"

Looking down at the island from above, Xiao Chen felt that the terrain was different from what he had seen in the Inheritance Scene.

He turned to look at the north side of the island, but did not observe Long-finned Fish Swarm.

"Phew, it's nothing, a minor issue."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. "The Black Abyss Demon Sect is, after all, Ancient Demon sect. It's normal for the terrain to change a little over the years."

He deliberately lowered the height a bit.

First, it used its Divine Sense to explore the entire island by flying at low altitude.

The result was completely fruitless.

While this medium-sized island has some mountains, it has very few canyons, let alone any possible Ancient Battlefield.

However, Xiao Chen did not panic.

The problem is serious; panicking won't help.

If it's not here either, it means that the original island may have undergone some changes over a very long period of time.

If that's the case, then we can only leave it to fate.

In any case, the total possible scope is only so big.

Even the worst outcome would simply mean wasting the next few years here, but in the end, one would still reap the rewards of Sha Qi.

After adjusting his mindset, Xiao Chen finally landed on the island.

They began their search on foot.

Fortunately, his luck wasn't that bad.

In less than an hour, they discovered an extremely deep crack in a ravine.

Looking down, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly, like a deep abyss.

I didn't detect this place during my previous Spiritual Sense Probe!

In other words, there's a problem here!

Xiao Chen immediately perked up, carefully approached the edge of the crack, and then slowly probed down.

However, there was nothing unusual about it, nor did I detect any abnormal Spiritual Power fluctuations.

After he slowed down and descended more than four thousand feet, he finally reached his destination.

My feet finally touched the thick layer of loose soil at the bottom of the crack.

The topsoil was several feet high, cold and damp, like lake water about to freeze in December, with solid rock underneath.

There was no sunlight at all here; it was pitch black all around.

But it doesn't matter, at least there's Spiritual Qi here.

"True Yang Fire Dragon!"

Xiao Chen summoned the fire dragon after a long time, and its enormous body immediately illuminated the entire area within two thousand feet.

To be honest, this thing works quite well for lighting too.

One fire dragon is as effective as several hundred torches.

By the light of the flames, Xiao Chen could see clearly that the place seemed to be high at one end and low at the other, like a passageway.

We followed the winding path along the bottom of the abyss for several more hours.

He felt himself going deeper and deeper, the loose soil under his feet becoming shallower and shallower, and the top of his head, without him even realizing it, turned into a thick Rock Wall.

"Huh?"

Xiao Chen suddenly saw something flicker to his right front.

He immediately leaned closer to take a look and found that it was a jade pendant embedded vertically in the ground.

Faint traces of carving are visible on it, clearly indicating that it was left by a person.

As you continue walking, you see more and more similar things.

"Click!"

A crisp sound rang out.

Xiao Chen lifted his foot to look and realized that he had accidentally stepped on and broken a Flying Sword that had long been weathered beyond recognition.

He manipulated the fire dragon to lower itself, making the ground even brighter.

By the time we got here, the original topsoil had become very shallow, almost only two fingers thick.

Many of the items that fell to the ground could no longer be buried, revealing their irregular outlines.

Broken armor, damaged Formation Flag, shattered spirit shields, and circular Law Artifact.

"Why!"

Xiao Chen suddenly saw the special Law Artifact that the Black Abyss Demon Sect used to collect Sha Qi in the Inheritance Scene before.

It was left at the edge of the passage at some unknown time, and the symbol of the Black Abyss Demon Sect could still be faintly seen on it.

"Very good!"

Xiao Chen was immediately excited. Now that he had found the Devil Artifact, the Sha Qi must be just around the corner.

Sure enough, after walking a few miles forward...

He finally arrived at that special canyon.

This place is located approximately ten thousand feet below the island, and it would be almost impossible to discover without a deliberate search.

Looking down, the earth was covered with countless White Bone, almost exactly the same as the message passed down.

Without needing to use Secret Method to investigate, simply standing at the edge of the canyon is enough to sense the Sha Qi emanating from it and seeping into one's body.

Most cultivators might be shocked, but Xiao Chen couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"I'm here!"

He pushed off with his feet and jumped directly down from the canyon, which was dozens of meters high.

It was as if they had suddenly fallen into an ocean of Sha Qi.

Without any need for active absorption, a large amount of malevolent Sha Qi rushed into Xiao Chen's body.

The Sha Qi here originates from the broken weapons, which belong to the metal element in the Five Elements theory.

Because this place never sees the sun and is Burial Ground with extremely heavy Yin Qi, it has also been assimilated into the yin energy.

Just three days later.

A brand new Yin Metal Seal appeared in Xiao Chen's dantian.

"In that case, let's call you Severed Blade Sars."
