Actually, Ba Dan really wanted to complain: Do you really think this is a child?

She was a founding ruler who unified the land, and countless people trembled under her iron hooves. She schemed against the immortals, luring powerful beings into her trap, allowing them to fight their way through the turbulent waters.

Child...

Never mind, maybe in the eyes of elders, no matter what achievements a child makes, they are still a child. That's not important anymore. What's important is that Ba Dan realized he had fallen into a trap the moment Qin Yi appeared.

This is Lure the snake out of its hole, waiting for them to appear so we can launch a surprise attack.

This means that Qin Yi will no longer adopt the mode of personally protecting, but wants to deter villains, which also means that it is not enough to just drive you away, but a situation of certain death!

Ba Dan immediately turned and fled.

As expected, we can't leave.

The entire Star Gazing Platform transformed into the Sixty-Four Trigrams, which in turn evolved into the celestial constellations, with stars swirling around, forming a trap for the dragon.

Ba Dan wanted to see where his two subordinates were, but he saw that among the stars, silver light flashed like lightning, and the chilling murderous intent of the Penglai Sword Pavilion had already filled the heavens and earth.

Li Qingjun.

Ba Dan had no time to think about anything else. Before he could even fly back, Qin Yi's stick had already reached his forehead.

The next moment, Qin Yi let out a sound of surprise.

The Wolf Tooth Club clearly struck Ba Dan, but it only hit an illusion. The feeling of using the wrong force caused Qin Yi's Qi and Blood to become disordered, and he almost vomited blood.

Qin Yi was certain that this was neither Illusions clone nor that Ba Dan was so fast that he became a phantom.

What's this?

A voice from Liusu echoed in his Sea of Consciousness: "The use of the strange techniques of the River of Time. This lama specializes in cultivating the soul, and his methods are quite remarkable."

The River of Time...

Is the person you were a moment ago not the person you will be a moment later?

Was the Wolf Tooth Club only hitting the Ba Dan of the past?

Just as Qin Yi realized this, he suddenly felt his soul being pulled away.

Like a videotape rewinding, everything kept rewinding, and in the blink of an eye, seven years had passed in the cave, Meng Qingying, Ju Yunxiu... back to the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, back to Southern Li...

I saw Immortal Trace Village.

Going back means returning to Earth...

Ba Dan's voice seemed to echo in her ears, "A Body Seizing soul is thriving here... Heh. With this Soul Return Technique, you can go back..."

Go back... go back...

Qin Yi was somewhat dazed.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with going back...

Which time traveler doesn't harbor the thought of returning home deep in their heart?

Even if I go back, I'll still be an orphan.

Having cultivated to this point, Qin Yi's subconscious was very clear, a result of being guided by the technique. Ba Dan was guiding his subconscious, and if he truly believed this, then he would truly return. His soul had been rooted here for so many years; if he truly returned, he would dissipate into the void and die completely.

In that instant, Qin Yi saw the pile of rocks on the Immortal Trace Mountain, and then he saw the blood-red hell inside.

A Wolf Tooth Club is stuck diagonally in the ground, surrounded by scattered fragments of armor, resembling the remnants of an ancient battlefield.

In the center of the crimson hell was a vortex-shaped blood gate, and it seemed like I had crawled in from there...

Go back?

The Liusu has been lying alone in the stick for tens of thousands of years, and now it's going back to where it was supposed to be?

The two have depended on each other for life until now. How much did they teach you? You promised to help them build their bodies, and now you're just going to turn your back on them?

Such mere spiritual guidance, who can it possibly move?

There are so many ties, so many responsibilities, and so many things left undone here!

"If you want to go back... then you should just go back to your Western Regions!"

Like a cassette tape that suddenly jumps back to the Star Gazing Platform, you're still standing in front of it.

In the distance, Li Qingjun's silver light was still clearly visible.

Ba Dan, standing before him, was bleeding from all seven orifices.

This kind of soul technique is always a double-edged sword; if you can't handle the opponent, you'll inevitably suffer a backlash.

Ba Dan looked at Qin Yi in horror; he couldn't understand it.

I heard from Mangshan that Qin Yi Dual Cultivation of Immortality and Martial Arts, making him far stronger than his peers. Moreover, his Technique Method and martial arts skills are also at a very high level. It's best not to use conventional combat methods to fight him head-on. It's better to make use of his esoteric spiritual techniques. After all, he is at the Shining Sun Completion, while Qin Yi is only at the second level of the Huiyang realm. This absolute difference in soul power cannot be made up for by trickery.

But why is Qin Yi's soul power so solid? What kind of soul cultivation technique does he practice?

Not only was it solid, but it also didn't resemble a body that Body Seizing at all. There would always be a tiny incompatibility between the Body Seizing body and soul, and his Soul Return Technique was designed to address this point, separating the Body Seizing body and soul and returning them to their respective places.

It seemed that Qin Yi's willpower had worked, but Ba Dan knew very well that this was not something that could be solved simply by willpower...

Is there something wrong with this Body Seizing? Or perhaps I've misjudged it, and it wasn't Body Seizing at all?

Ba Dan simply couldn't understand it.

The incomprehensible result was a severe backlash, to the point that even the so-called mysteries of the River of Time could not be maintained.

"Bang!" The Wolf Tooth Club came down directly, smashing his head to pieces.

A lama's soul floated out and headed straight for Li Wuxian, who was watching the battle from a distance.

By taking the emperor hostage, there's still a chance to escape!

But before he could get close, black mist began to emerge from Li Wuxian's ring.

Black mist quickly enveloped the sky and earth, and within the mist were ferocious blood-red eyes, causing one's soul to tremble as if encountering a ferocious beast from ancient times.

"Taotie... Taotie!" The lama finally understood why Qin Yi dared to Lure the snake out of its hole and wasn't afraid that the brief gap would be too late to rescue him.

Li Wuxian always carried the Taotie with him!

With a "whoosh," it vanished into thin air.

The black mist turned into Black Fur Ball, let out a burp, and hopped to the edge of the Star Gazing Platform, craning its short neck to watch Li Qingjun's battle.

Li Qingjun had already impaled two lamas with a single spear thrust, the spear tip protruding and dripping blood.

"Keep them alive, I want to eat them..."

Li Qingjun turned her head and glanced at it, a slight smile appearing on her face, "Here you go."

With a flick of his silver spear, the two lamas who were not quite dead were devoured by the gluttonous beast.

The Taotie had visibly transformed into the Shining Sun Peak, and even the Black Fur Ball's body had grown considerably larger.

Qin Yi was looking at Li Qingjun.

The two exchanged a smile, their hearts in perfect harmony.

Qin Yi raised his voice and said, "This person wants to harm my disciple and use him as Cauldron. This is an offense against me. I will go to the grasslands and destroy this sect to prevent future troubles. Friends who are secretly watching this place, if you don't leave within three breaths, don't say that I, Qin, am ruthless."

Annihilate... wipe out the entire family?

Several barely audible sounds came from the void, and those who had been secretly observing the situation fled in terror.

That's terrifying.

This is not an exaggeration; it could very well become a fact.

Li Qingjun, a Martial Cultivation practitioner, fought two opponents of the same level, Huiyang, as easily as slicing vegetables.

That's not all. Qin Yi, at the second level of the Huiyang realm, fought against Shining Sun Completion realm cultivator in a battle of the most straightforward and uncompromising spiritual contest, and he actually defeated Ba Dan instantly!

Who is Ba Dan?

The master of Saga Temple in the Western Regions! The spiritual leader of many tribes on the grasslands, possessing all kinds of Secret Method and wondrous techniques, almost on par with Qian Yuan in some aspects. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the number one person below Qian Yuan, which is why Mangshan brought him here to deal with, believing that this level should be sufficient.

Unexpectedly, in a brief exchange, Qin Yi smashed his brains, causing his soul to flee for its life, and then... he was swallowed by the Taotie, leaving not even a trace behind!

Yes, he also has Taotie.

Isn't this what the Witch God Sect was plotting? How did it end up in Qin Yi's hands?

As expected, someone who has been wanted by the Witch God Sect for seven years and is still acting like nothing happened is definitely not someone to be trifled with. This guy is not some up-and-coming talent in the early stages of Huiyang Sect. He himself has the ability to destroy sects and factions. If you really provoke him, he will really wipe out your entire family!

Even now, with the loss of Ba Dan and the deaths of two Huiyang Chief Seat, how can this Saga Temple Monastery withstand Qin Yi?

Not to mention that everyone else ran away, even Mangshan retreated a long way.

He sensed an extremely dangerous aura. If this family were to get aggressive, he might not even come out on top... He really didn't expect that Qin Yi could break through Ba Dan's soul magic, because even he wouldn't have been able to deal with Ba Dan's Secret Method so easily.

He was even more certain that Qin Yi's plan to wipe out the entire family was not just empty talk; he genuinely intended to do it.

It's just making an example of someone to scare others... In essence, it's no different from the bloody deterrent tactics that their Demon Sect often uses, just to make those who are eyeing this place get out of the Central Plains.

This isn't the honey you're all flocking to...

The shock extends for miles, startling those far away and frightening those nearby.
