Slaying Old Dog Yi

The Yi Family Old Ancestor is currently located in the Shallow Sky Sea.

This area was originally just Common Sea north of the Listening Wave Sea, but now, for the sake of better coordination, it has been included in the Shallow Sky Sea area.

Currently, the Azure Sea Immortal Sect and Thousand Machines Valley are working together to contain the Sea Race and defend the right flank of the Human Race.

With the help of several Fourth-tier Grand Array that were initially set up by the Five Great Sects.

Furthermore, with the main forces of the Sea Race tied up near Universal Salvation Temple, the situation has been stabilized for the time being.

Although a large number of Spirit Stone are required every day to maintain the operation of the formation.

However, with the reserves accumulated by the sect over the years, it is not a problem in the short term.

I'm always careful with my money, so I can have it ready for emergencies like this.

As the Yi Family Old Ancestor was, after all, a member of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect, he was now responsible for presiding over one of the Fourth-tier Grand Array and responding to the actions of the other True Lord.

At this time, he naturally couldn't leave quietly; he needed to at least explain his whereabouts in advance.

So after receiving the Sound Transmission Spirit Sword, he patiently waited until the next morning.

After the Spiritual Qi Tide, another round of routine raids by the Sea Race ended.

The Yi Family Old Ancestor then took the initiative to approach Iron Fan True Monarch: "Sect Master Brother, I received a message from home that I have some personal matters that urgently need to be dealt with."

"The problem isn't too complicated; I'll be right back."

"I'll have to trouble you Junior Brother Silver Hair to work a little harder over the next couple of days."

He was certainly older than Iron Fan True Monarch.

However, the custom of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect is that the cultivator who becomes the Sect Master automatically becomes the senior disciple among the cultivators of the same generation, regardless of their original seniority.

"Has something urgent happened?"

Upon hearing this, Iron Fan True Monarch frowned slightly. "Should we inform the fellow Daoists of Thousand Machines Valley and have Junior Brother Silver Hair accompany us?"

"So that they can look out for each other?"

The Yi Family Old Ancestor naturally refused decisively. "Alas, it's just a troublesome matter at home. Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Brother, but there's no need to make a fuss."

"I'll handle it myself when I get back."

His real purpose in going back was to arrest Xiao Chen, but this was something he couldn't discuss openly, nor could he bring anyone else along.

"In that case, junior brother must be extra careful."

Iron Fan True Monarch specifically instructed, "The current situation is chaotic and different from the past. We especially need to be wary of Form Transformation Great Demon like Jin Luan Phoenix secretly causing trouble."

The two exchanged a few more polite greetings.

The Yi Family Old Ancestor then took his leave and hurriedly returned home.

After he left, the Silver Hair True Monarch, who had arrived midway, revealed a displeased expression. "Senior Brother, the Yi Family's actions are becoming increasingly blatant."

"Forming cliques, appointing relatives and friends, embezzling resources, and monopolizing spiritual materials."

"Many clues even point to the fact that some members of the Yi Family are still harming their fellow disciples."

"Now even those holding the fortified position are finding excuses to leave. Continuing to let this go on isn't a solution."

Iron Fan True Monarch was actually aware of the good deeds that the Yi Family had been doing recently.

But as usual, he reassured his brother, "Junior brother is right, but extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Now is the time when we need manpower, and we should consider the overall situation."

"The Sea Race are coming in with overwhelming force; at this critical moment, every True Lord is crucial."

"As you know, there are just too many Fourth-Order great demon, putting a lot of pressure on Universal Salvation Temple."

"We should try our best to help share the burden so that we can buy time to adjust."

"As for the Yi Family, if Junior Brother Yi can hold out until after the war, then we can discuss their merits and demerits."

As the Sect Master, Iron Fan True Monarch was still considering the overall gains and losses. In order to win over the Yi Family Old Ancestor to help with the work, he chose to continue to turn a blind eye to the Yi Family's situation.

Silver Hair True Monarch did not quite agree with this.

However, it's difficult to refute this, since the current situation of the Compassion Sea is indeed quite dire.

The defection of the Illuminating Void Sect has left the entire left flank besieged on both sides, while the Cloud Wave Sword Abode on the south side is also being held back by the Giant Octopus.

Many Buddhist Sect Zen Master suffered heavy losses in the sneak attack and are currently gathered at the Universal Salvation Temple.

The entire Compassion Sea is basically out of manpower.

"Sigh!"

Silver Hair True Monarch sighed, turned and flew towards the front line of the formation. "I'll go patrol the outside a couple more times."

"I hope Senior Brother Yi can come back soon."

With one less person, maintaining the formation becomes much more difficult.

Fortunately, even though the Sea Race discovered that Human True Lord had seemingly disappeared, they dared not act rashly without concrete intelligence.

Charging rashly into the formation could lead to an ambush and disastrous consequences.

However, gradually increasing the pressure of attacks and frequent probing are inevitable, so they've been quite busy these past two days.

Iron Fan True Monarch was already somewhat worried, and upon hearing this, he turned his head to look in the direction where the Yi Family Old Ancestor had left.

Acting alone during this period would be extremely unwise.

Those Zen Master in the Buddhist Sect suffered because they practiced solitude.

However, the Yi Family Old Ancestor was unwilling to travel with others, and there was nothing he could do about it.

There are two sides to the story.

The Shallow Sky Sea is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Azure Sea, and even Nascent Soul True Lord would need a certain amount of time to reach it.

So for the next few days, Xiao Chen lay on the beach sunbathing, waiting for the Yi Family Old Ancestor to come to him.

Since we don't know exactly when they will arrive.

He couldn't take the opportunity to cultivate, lest it cause abnormal fluctuations in Spiritual Qi.

"Ugh, this is so boring."

Xiao Chen rolled over forcefully on the beach, turning his back up so he could tan more evenly.

In the warm and cozy atmosphere, he almost fell asleep.

Suddenly, a loud whooshing sound came from afar.

"They've arrived?"

Xiao Chen immediately perked up and jumped up, only to see that it was actually a huge seabird swooping down.

It opened its mouth wide, as if trying to swallow him whole.

"Bang! Crack!"

Xiao Chen didn't use Law Technique; he simply relied on his powerful physique to defeat this idiot in two moves.

Then, with swift movements, it tore open its belly, stuffed in a large rock from the island, and immediately threw it into the sea.

They also buried the spilled demon blood and feathers on the spot.

"Oh dear, preparing a surprise is really not easy."

After cleaning up the mess, Xiao Chen looked expectantly at the horizon again. "Old Dog Yi, you absolutely must come! Don't let my efforts go to waste."

Perhaps his intentions were too sincere.

A small black dot suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.

As the blue Escape Light rapidly approached, it gradually became clear that it was a human figure.

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Old Dog Yi!

"The Curtain Locks the Sky, swiftly!"

The moment the two met, a Talisman flew out first.

It instantly transformed into several wisps of smoke, automatically locking onto Xiao Chen, who was closest to it.

The seemingly gentle smoke felt incredibly heavy on the skin.

They immediately tied him up tightly.

"Hmph, Xiao Chen, you've finally met your match."

The Yi Family Old Ancestor stood in mid-air. "Didn't expect that, did you? It's me who's here."

"How about that? Surprised? Unexpected?"

This time, he learned from his previous experience and simply abandoned his usual "Black Dragon Surges from the Water" move, choosing instead to directly activate Talisman to restrict Xiao Chen's movements.

I don't believe this little brat can run away.

However, the Yi Family Old Ancestor did not see the panic he had expected on Xiao Chen's face.

Even though he was restricted by the Talisman, he remained calm.

He even gave a strange look.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for days."

A smile gradually spread across Xiao Chen's face, "Actually, I wasn't injured at all, I was just kidding!"

What?

Upon hearing this, the Yi Family Old Ancestor's expression changed drastically.

He quickly made a connection and cautiously looked around. "Which fellow Daoist has come? Why don't you come out and have a word?"

"Isn't it a bit undignified for a dignified Nascent Soul True Lord to hide his true colors like this?"

As he spoke, he secretly used a secret technique to investigate the situation on the island.

At the same time, he kept a close eye on Xiao Chen's actions.

In case this little brat was just bluffing him and actually trying to find a way to break free of the Talisman and escape.

"There's no need to use reverse psychology; there are no outsiders here."

Having said that, Xiao Chen no longer concealed his aura, unleashing the oppressive power of Nascent Soul True Lord: "Didn't expect that, did you? I've already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm."

"How about that? Surprised? Unexpected?"

The Yi Family Old Ancestor was indeed taken aback, after all, only a little over a year had passed since their last meeting.

In other words, not long after the two separated, Xiao Chen directly attempted to break through to the Nascent Soul and succeeded.

That's a bit too fast.

However, after searching the entire island using secret techniques, he discovered that there seemed to be no ambush on the island.

The Yi Family Old Ancestor couldn't help but feel a little surprised and uncertain. "You're the only one who came?"

Where are your elders?

Still uneasy, he secretly activated Divine Sense Secret Art to re-examine the surrounding area.

"Old Dog Yi, it's been a year, and while your skills haven't improved much, your courage has certainly shrunk considerably."

Xiao Chen scoffed, "I told you, there are no outsiders here. Because dealing with you is a piece of cake for me."

The Yi Family Old Ancestor turned a deaf ear.

After patiently waiting for the Divine Sense Secret Art to complete its investigation, the look of surprise and doubt on his face finally faded. "It really is just you alone?"

His gaze sharpened instantly, and his face turned fierce. "Just as I thought, an arrogant and ignorant brat!"

"You don't think that just because you've broken through to the Nascent Soul, you have the right to yell at me like that, do you?"

"That's utterly overestimating themselves!"

"Today I'll show you that even among Nascent Soul, there are differences!"

As he spoke, he summoned a Bright Pearl, and sixteen ice wheels, each resembling a full moon, immediately rose around him.

That wasn't all. As the Yi Family Old Ancestor chanted incantations, the Bright Pearl immediately emitted a dazzling light.

Those already enormous icy wheels appeared to grow even larger under the glow of the light.

Then, rotating simultaneously, it rolled in from all directions.

"Good timing!"

Xiao Chen completely ignored the surrounding smoke, his left hand forming a hand seal, his right hand forming a palm. "Sky-rushing Palm!"

Now that I've learned Fourth-Order Spell, I no longer need to passively defend myself like before.

Not to mention that the Crimson Sky Mountain Severing Palm is Fire Element Cultivation Method, which counters the Ice Wheel, allowing for Attack as Defense.

"Boom!"

The collision of ice and fire instantly produced a massive explosion.

The sixteen ice wheels were instantly engulfed by the raging flames.

The flames continued their relentless advance, hurtling straight towards the Yi Family Old Ancestor and crashing into his spiritual shield.

"Thump-thump-thump~!"

The immense impact caused the Spiritual Power Barrier to tremble violently, and even resulted in several tiny cracks appearing.

"Fourth-tier Fire Method!"

The Yi Family Old Ancestor's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the scene before him. "You've actually mastered fourth-tier Fire Method?"

He had long heard that cultivators who pursue the Comprehension Path become stronger the further they progress.

But no one expected that Xiao Chen would possess such superb skills on the Great Dao of Fire.

He had only broken through to the Nascent Soul a few days ago, yet he was already able to use a fourth-order Fire Method.

Moreover, its power is in no way inferior to its own Frost Bloom Buries the Moon Wheel.

It should be noted that although his strength has declined somewhat due to his advanced age, he has still mastered this Law Technique to a high degree.

Even within the Nascent Soul Early Stage, they are absolutely top-tier.

But when the two sides clashed, he actually suffered a loss.

If this were told to others, probably no one would believe it!

"Good lad, if you were given more time to grow stronger, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be a match for you."

Having lived for over a thousand years, the Yi Family Old Ancestor quickly calmed down after a brief moment of shock.

He regained his composure. "It's a pity that although you have good talent, you are far too arrogant!"

"You've only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul, how many strands of true essence have you condensed yet?"

The Yi Family Old Ancestor flicked his wrist and produced a stack of Talisman: "These Fourth-tier Talisman were originally intended to deal with the Sea Race Great Demon."

"But today, you're just unlucky!"

As he spoke, he scattered the Talisman in his hand one by one.

In an instant, different Five Elements Spell took turns attacking Xiao Chen.

These Law Technique are individually less powerful than Ice Wheel, but they are numerous.

The Yi Family Old Ancestor's idea was simple: to use Talisman to deplete Xiao Chen's limited true essence.

"Boom! Boom!... Boom!"

Moments later, the towering sea of fire had completely engulfed the area within a hundred miles.

As the Talisman in his hand ran out, the Yi Family Old Ancestor's expression changed again, because Xiao Chen still seemed to have energy left, showing no signs of exhaustion.

He finally realized something was wrong. "Impossible, your true energy should have been used up long ago!"

As a veteran Nascent Soul, he knew all too well how long it took for Nascent Soul Cultivator to condense a new strand of true essence.

The two had only been apart for a little over a year, and Xiao Chen needed to spend at least ten months in the process of Nascent Soul Formation.

Even if the remaining time were all spent Condense True Essence, it should have been completely used up by now.

How could anyone possibly last that long?

This is completely illogical!

Xiao Chen stepped out of the sea of fire, one step at a time, and said, "Old Dog Yi, you don't think everyone is as useless as you, do you?"

"Even condensing true essence is so difficult. To the point that at his advanced age, he hasn't even reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage."

"To tell you the truth, I can condense a New True Essence in just one day."

"Although the total amount isn't much, it's more than enough to take your dog's life."

Upon hearing this, the Yi Family Old Ancestor's pupils suddenly contracted. "Nonsense! How could this be!"

Logically speaking, he simply couldn't accept this situation.

He had lived for over a thousand years and had never heard of anyone being able to condense a strand of true essence in a single day.

But what is happening right now is undoubtedly the most powerful evidence.

Firstly, Xiao Chen's breakthrough was not long ago, that much is certain.

Secondly, all those Talisman were used up; it would have been impossible to do this without nearly a hundred strands of true essence.

At this moment, the Yi Family Old Ancestor finally felt a trace of fear.

What kind of being did he offend?

Immediately following was a deep sense of regret.

If he had known it would end like this, he shouldn't have chosen Xiao Chen as the material in the first place.

Not only did this fail to prolong his life, but it also unjustly offended a Nascent Soul True Lord.

This is truly a case of losing both wife and army!

Nevertheless, the Yi Family Old Ancestor still maintained restraint.

He suddenly looked behind Xiao Chen and shouted, "Please, Senior Brother, help me!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned and left, using all his strength to activate his Escape Light in an attempt to flee.

"It's too late to run now!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Chen immediately activated his escape technique to give chase.

Before his breakthrough, he was only slightly slower than the Yi Family Old Ancestor.

Now, with its speed greatly increased, it has directly overtaken others and is much faster.

In just a few breaths, he blocked the other party's path. "Old Dog Yi, you can't escape today."

The Yi Family Old Ancestor was startled by what he saw, but he was too busy escaping to think about it.

He immediately threw out a lightning ball as cover.

He pulled a blue Talisman from his pocket, stuck it on his body, and turned to continue running in the opposite direction.

With the Talisman's blessing, his speed instantly increased by a full 30%.

However, a moment later, Xiao Chen caught up again and blocked his way.

The Yi Family Old Ancestor immediately turned pale and stopped walking.

"Oh, why did you stop running? You were running so fast just now!"

Xiao Chen sneered, "If you're so capable, keep running! I haven't had my fill yet, why are you so useless now?"

Upon hearing these familiar words, the Yi Family Old Ancestor immediately blushed.

However, it was already clear that even with the aid of Talisman, his escape speed was no match for Xiao Chen's.

Continuing to flee would only bring further humiliation.

Now that things have come to this, it's impossible to resolve this peacefully without paying some price.

The Yi Family Old Ancestor was quite decisive. He gritted his teeth and bit his own tongue, spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood.

Then he shouted loudly, "Returning Demon Blood Escape Secret Method, swiftly!"

The Essence Blood immediately transformed into a ball of blood light, enveloping his entire body as he fled into the distance.

"Hmph, I told you, you can't escape today."

Xiao Chen sneered and stopped chasing. Instead, he pointed and said, "Mechanical Grappling Claw!"

Immediately, a Grappling Hook shot out at an even faster speed and grabbed the Yi Family Old Ancestor.

Then they pulled him in front of Xiao Chen.

At the same time, he clenched his fist and struck him squarely on the temple, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

Whether it's Golden Core cultivator or Nascent Soul, the Mechanical Grappling Claw treats them all equally, stunning them for an instant.

This period of time may seem short, but it was enough for Xiao Chen to Sky-rushing Palm on the opponent's dantian.

"Bang!"

However, this palm strike felt as if it had struck steel.

The moment the Nascent Soul was threatened, the Yi Family Old Ancestor vanished into thin air.

Instead, a solid Mystic Iron Pillar, covered with Secret Markings, took the fatal blow in his place.

Although the Mystic Iron Pillar was immediately deformed and shattered into several pieces.

However, the Yi Family Old Ancestor appeared a hundred feet away, and at the same time, he woke up from his dizziness ahead of time.

Clearly, as a Veteran True Lord, he possesses unique means of self-preservation and is not so easy to kill.

That's normal; after all, someone who's lived that long must have some skills.

"Daoist Xiao... wait a moment!"

Seeing that his Life-Saving Trump Card had been used up, the Yi Family Old Ancestor finally truly felt the threat of death.

He immediately invoked the name of his sect. "I am Grand Elder of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect. Killing me will do you no good."

At the same time, he didn't forget to offer enticement. "What happened before was indeed something I did inappropriately."

"But I'm willing to make amends. Just name your price for whatever you want."

"Anything I have, I can give it to you."

However, Xiao Chen shook his head. "What I want is very simple, and that is your life."

The Yi Family Old Ancestor was taken aback upon hearing this, feeling that the words seemed somewhat familiar.

But he didn't have time to think about it anymore. He simply flipped his hands over and pulled out a blood-red sculpture.

Then, facing Xiao Chen directly, he threatened, "Xiao Chen, leaving yourself an out in life is for your own good!"

"You should have noticed by now that I have been practicing Demonic Secret Methods."

"Now that things have come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you, this is Demonic Sect Sacred Object!"

"If you insist on pushing me further and leave me no way out, then don't blame me for fighting you to the death!"

His voice trembled slightly, yet it revealed a hint of ruthlessness and certainty.

This was clearly not just a simple threat; they were genuinely prepared to fight to the death.

Xiao Chen didn't doubt that he was lying, but he didn't take it to heart. "Hahaha, Old Dog Yi, even when you're about to die, you're starting to talk nonsense."

"Then let me send you on your way!"

He then struck out with his palm again.

The Yi Family Old Ancestor finally remembered that these two sentences were actually words he had said last time.

Now, Xiao Chen has returned them all intact.

But these words sounded so harsh to my ears.

"That brat has gone too far!"

The Yi Family Old Ancestor roared angrily and immediately plunged the sculpture into his own heart.

He actually stabbed himself in the heart!

The already blood-red statue, nourished by the Heart Blood, immediately shone with even greater brilliance.

It instantly split into eighteen pieces, each piece turning into a burst of bloody light.

It instantly enveloped Xiao Chen, completely dissolving him.

Of course, the reason why the Yi Family Old Ancestor did this was not to Mutual Destruction.

He had already secretly swallowed a elixir to suppress his injuries.

Then, with great difficulty, he activated his escape technique, wanting to leave this place and go back to recuperate.

As for Xiao Chen?

He saw it clearly; he had already died beneath the sacred object.

However, just a quarter of an hour later, the Yi Family Old Ancestor had already fled thousands of miles away.

She even started planning her next steps in her recovery process.

"Bang!"

Xiao Chen's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and he pierced through Xiao Chen's dantian with a single palm strike.

The blazing flames instantly engulfed his Nascent Soul.

The Yi Family Old Ancestor had a face full of questions, but he was speechless.

That sudden palm strike was truly deadly.

The attack location was too cunning; instead of targeting the head or chest, it landed directly on the dantian (lower abdomen).

He didn't even have time to activate his Nascent Soul to escape.
