Zhenyuanzi Joins the Battle, Minghe Retreats

The crowd was initially puzzled by the arrival of the Minghe Purple Qi, but their conversation with Cihang provided the answer.

Hong Yun was actually saved by Cihang.

Even the Primordial Violet Qi was traded to the Minghe.

Unfortunately, Minghe was disappointing; even with the Primordial Chess Piece in hand, he failed to attain enlightenment.

This even led to the dissipation of the last wisp of Primordial Violet Qi.

At the same time, they also deeply felt how well Cihang had hidden himself.

No one could find Hong Yun's whereabouts; he had actually saved her.

As for Hong Yun, nobody paid any attention to her.

Having lost the Primordial Violet Qi, the Hong Yun were no longer worth their attention.

On the contrary, Cihang's actions puzzled them greatly.

That was the Primordial Violet Qi, yet Cihang could let it go without a second thought.

"Karmic Fire Red Lotus, it turns out you were the one plotting against me."

Cihang, you've gone too far!

Minghe instantly flew into a rage, his murderous aura almost solidifying into a tangible form.

The Yuantu Abi Twin Swords continuously pierced through the void, striking Cihang's defenses.

"It was a fair transaction to begin with, so how could it be considered an insult?"

It was you who launched such a forceful attack on my Mount Luojia! Did you really think I, Cihang, was easy to bully?

Cihang abandoned her previous defense and instantly unleashed the Primordial Heaven Measuring Ruler.

A myriad of purple ruler-shaped shadows materialized, clashing fiercely with the Yuantu Abi Twin Swords.

The Karmic Fire Red Lotus also gave rise to clusters of Red Lotus Karmic Fire, heading towards the void and the Blood Sea.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire erupted, instantly igniting the Blood Sea.

Although the Blood Sea possesses terrifying power, it also gathers endless Karmic Debt.

Even the Karmic Fire Red Lotus was born from the Blood Sea.

Conversely, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire can effectively counter the power of the Blood Sea.

"Cihang, you've gone too far!"

Minghe waved his hand, summoning the Sea of Blood Asura Banner, using its water elemental power to protect the Blood Sea, while simultaneously generating countless Asura figures that roared and launched an attack on Cihang.

Minghe knew the properties of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus; in his hands, the Red Lotus, combined with the Blood Sea, was an unparalleled offensive treasure.

However, once it falls into the hands of others, it becomes a magical treasure that restrains him.

He was willing to give up the Karmic Fire Red Lotus for the sake of the Primordial Violet Qi.

Now that he has failed to attain enlightenment, he is determined to reclaim the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

"Enough talk, let's see who's the best!"

Cihang understood Minghe's plan, but now that the Karmic Fire Red Lotus was in her hands, she would not let him succeed.

It was because of this Karmic Fire Red Lotus that Cihang was willing to take on the Karma for Hong Yun.

If it were in the Blood Sea, Cihang knew he was no match for Minghe.

But this is the South China Sea. Without the Blood Sea 'Minghe blessing, even if the Styx is stronger than him, the difference is limited.

Cihang has the confidence to be invincible.

As for what comes next, Minghe's potential has been exhausted, but he still has opportunities to advance further.

In the future, he will become a being that Minghe would look up to.

This left him powerless to seek revenge, even if he harbored resentment.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The battle intensified, annihilating vast swathes of mountains and lands.

Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, the Earth Power surged, and the dragon vein manifested, attacking the Minghe.

Zhenyuanzi appeared on the battlefield at the same time, protected by the Earth Book and wielding the Heaven and Earth Duster, constantly bombarding the Minghe Del's defenses.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The two, who were originally evenly matched, were suddenly put at a disadvantage after Zhenyuanzi joined the Minghe.

"Zhenyuanzi, do you also want to be my enemy?"

The Minghe roared in fury.

"What if I become your enemy?"

Because Hong Yun had been robbed, Zhenyuanzi already had nowhere to vent his anger.

Although Hong Yun's self-destruction was not because of Minghe, Styx had also attacked Hong Yun.

If it weren't for Cihang, Hong Yun would likely have truly perished.

Moreover, this matter was caused by Hong Yun, and now that Hong Yun is unable to take action, Zhenyuanzi cannot stand idly by.

He came here specifically to help Cihang.

As they spoke, Cihang and the other two continued their attacks, forcing Minghe to retreat continuously.

"You are all doing very well. Today, it was I, Minghe, who was outmatched."

But this time, the Karma will definitely not end like this.

Blood Sea, Explode!

Seeing that victory was impossible, Minghe lost the will to fight.

With a deafening roar, the Blood Sea behind Minghe exploded, and endless blood rain poured down on the earth, corroding everything in its path.

Having anticipated this, Cihang instantly unleashed the All Beings Seal.

"All Beings Seal, suppress!"

Five-Colored Divine Light burst forth, fixing the Blood Sea in the void.

The Glazed Pure Vase released a divine light, which swept up the blood rain and swallowed it into the Pure Vase.

When the void returned to calm, the Minghe had long since vanished.

Even in its rage, Minghe did not lose its reason.

Cihang alone would be difficult to deal with, let alone with Zhenyuanzi added to the mix.

Continuing this will do him no good whatsoever.

Cihang and Zhenyuanzi did not pursue them.

To reiterate, while defeating quasi-saint cultivators like them is easy, killing them is extremely difficult.

Once Minghe returns to the Blood Sea, even if the two of them join forces, they will be powerless against him.

"Thank you for your timely assistance, fellow Daoist!"

Cihang withdrew her gaze and thanked Zhenyuanzi.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. This matter ultimately arose because of Hong Yun, and it is not something you should have to deal with alone."

Moreover, even without my intervention, the Minghe couldn't do anything to you, fellow Daoist!

As he returned the greeting, Zhenyuanzi looked at Cihang with surprise in his eyes.

Cihang's progress has been so rapid that it has exceeded everyone's expectations.

No one knows how much Cihang will have grown when they meet again.

However, Cihang has always been a force that creates miracles.

Even if Cihang surpasses him next time, he won't be too surprised.

"Although I can withstand Minghe's attack, it will be difficult to end this battle quickly!"

This place ultimately suffered calamity because of this!

Cihang looked down at the ravaged earth with a grim expression.

"It's just some external damage; it's not difficult to recover!"

Zhenyuanzi, however, once again summoned the Earth Book, unleashing boundless Earth Power.

Under the control of the Earth Book, the earth began to recover, and the mountains and rivers were reshaped.

Cihang also offered up her Glazed Pure Vase, sprinkling down a sky full of sweet dew.

With the two working together, the world quickly returned to normal, and even the spiritual energy within it began to regrow under the nourishment of the sweet dew.

Looking at the mountains and rivers restored to their original state, Cihang and Zhenyuanzi exchanged a smile.

They then entered the Life Temple together.

Cihang also opened the Grand Array Restrictions, arranging for those beings to return.

Having learned from this experience, Minghe will make thorough preparations before taking action.

There is no need to worry about Minghe's retaliation in the short term.

"How is Fellow Daoist Hongyun now?"

Upon entering the main hall, Cihang inquired about Hong Yun's condition.

"Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist. Hong Yun is doing well."

With the Life Divine Fluid of fellow Daoists present, Hong Yun was also rapidly regenerating the origin of his physical body.

While regaining one's peak condition is not easy, rebuilding one's physical body is not difficult.

"I believe that Hong Yun will be able to resume his cultivation path soon!"

When Hong Yun was mentioned, Zhenyuanzi no longer had a worried look on his face, but instead a big smile.

"That's good. I look forward to discussing the Dao with Fellow Daoist Hongyun again!"

Cihang felt much more at ease.
