Sealer

"Brother Little White, help!"

A tiny, tiny voice seemed to come from somewhere far, far away.

"What kind of trouble has Little One gotten into this time? Oh, he's being chased by those Sealers from the Rain Clan." Bai Yixin's body blazed with divine light, drying the water on him.

"They're just a few old fossils. All they know how to do is gang up on someone."

Bai Yixin vanished into the Rain Curtain Forest, rushing toward the voice Little One had cried out with.

Little One rode the treasure mirror as it shot into the sky, moving at incredible speed.

The four Rain Clan powerhouses behind him had sealed off every direction, but they couldn't completely cover the sky as well. Little One had used his treasure to escape into the air. The four of them stepped onto Beast Skin or brought out Treasure Bones, then rose into the sky in pursuit.

Little One was still far too young to face four powerhouses. He was hunted until there was nowhere to flee, above or below.

Along the way, he fought as he ran, leaving a trail of blood and suffering grievous wounds.

Wounded, Little One was struck by a sweeping curtain of rain. The torrential downpour carried destructive divine power, slamming into him and making him cough up mouthfuls of blood.

If his body hadn't been as powerful as a young Heaven-Rank Primordial Fierce Beast, that blow would have shattered his bones and torn his sinews, reducing him to a lump of minced meat.

Little One spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. He spotted a flash of azure light in the distance, then glared coldly at the four powerhouses and clenched his fists. "Heh. You old bastards... If I survive today, I'll wipe out every last one of you in the Rain Clan!"

"Then all the more reason we can't let you live!" A cold smile tugged at one man's lips as he replied icily.

"Hmm, look at his brows when he raises them. Doesn't he look a lot like someone?" an old man said just then. He was struggling to suppress his cultivation, so excited that his chest was rising and falling.

At those words, the other three were startled. All of them stared at Little One.

The four men no longer concealed their true appearances. They dispelled the rain mist and revealed themselves: two middle-aged men and two old men, all with eyes that shone like golden lamps.

"Four pieces of trash!" Bai Yixin had quickly reached the area. He planned to watch for a moment and see whether he could sneak up and kill one of them first.

"Little One, activate the Jade Tablet I gave you. Blow them up!" Bai Yixin crept toward the four men from a distance, signaling to Little One in code.

"Rumble!"

A Jade Tablet appeared in Little One's hand. It was the one Bai Yixin had given him.

The Jade Tablet had only two functions: locating a target and exploding while actively signaling its position.

Bai Yixin had packed it with a huge amount of extremely unstable Spiritual Energy. It contained two triggering arrays: one to reveal its location, and the other to disrupt the balance of the Spiritual Energy and set off a massive explosion.

Simply put, it was a grenade that could be tracked.

It was a byproduct of Bai Yixin's research into the uses of the Purple Gold Giant Cauldron. He called it a Spirit Energy Hand Grenade.

Its power wasn't all that great. The material limited it, so at most it could kill a cultivator who had just entered the Spirit Transformation Stage—and only if they were completely unguarded.

Still, if used well against these self-sealed Sealers, it might force them to wield power beyond the limits. If that happened, this small world would act against them.

But there wouldn't be a chance for that.

Bai Yixin only needed Little One to create a tiny opening and distract them for a moment.

Little One poured all his strength into activating the Jade Tablet, then used the Suanni Treasure Mirror to inject it with endless lightning. The Jade Tablet sprang to life, bursting with light.

"Boom!"

Little One flicked his wrist and threw it straight at the four men.

The four powerhouses were startled. None of them had expected the little fellow to throw something capable of unleashing such power.

Lightning flashed, and the Jade Tablet suddenly exploded. The sky blazed bright in an instant, like a flash grenade, engulfing all four men and making their hearts seize. One old man's beard and hair were blasted clean off.

Unfortunately, although the four were struck by the blast and badly shaken, none of them died. Only one was wounded, a thin trickle of blood escaping the corner of his mouth.

Who could have expected that, while being chased by this Bear Child, he would suddenly throw an explosive behind him? It had moved too fast for them to dodge in time.

More importantly, the explosion was powerful and accompanied by lightning. It created a dazzling flash and a tremendous roar, severely affecting all four men.

As the four were dealing with the explosion, a figure silently appeared behind them. A sword beam, like an antelope's horn in midair, flashed down and instantly severed the heads of two old men.

"Ah..."

The remaining two cried out in agony. They didn't escape either. A field of lightning enveloped them, and two thick bolts struck their bodies. Crackling and popping sounds rang out as the smell of charred flesh instantly filled the air.

Bai Yixin showed no mercy. He stood as firm as a mountain, but when he moved, he struck like thunder—every blow a killing one.

Bai Yixin casually swept out two more beams of sword light, severing the remaining pair's heads as well. He made sure with a final strike, in case they were only pretending to be dead.

"Brother Little White!"

Little One ran over, covered in wounds.

"Are you all right?" Bai Yixin looked him over. His injuries were severe, but thankfully, none had reached his vitals.

"I'm fine. I'm just exhausted. If those four old geezers hadn't fought dirty, I'd have taken them all out." Little One complained indignantly. He hadn't expected old geezers to sneak in here.

"Eat a little more later and replenish your strength," Bai Yixin said, then explained.

"They're Sealers. Hundred Fracture Mountain contains great opportunities. Each time it opens, a small number of people pay an enormous price to seal themselves away. Their strength plummets, but they replenish a large amount of their vital essence, making their bodies function as if they were young again. Even so, entering costs them dearly. If this small world senses them, they'll face calamity and be killed by it."

Bai Yixin paused, collected the things from the men, and continued.

"In ancient times, the saints shed tears and blood here. After that, this place became repellent to outsiders and began protecting itself, keeping anyone with too much destructive power from entering."

"My guess is that the strength of this repulsion depends on age and cultivation, but not combat power."

"For example, I've used power beyond the Cave Heaven Realm. I'm under eighteen, and my cultivation hasn't exceeded the Cave Heaven Realm, yet I haven't felt any repulsion."

"So that's how it restricts those who are too old." Little One understood, but immediately grimaced in pain.

"Brother Little White, let's find somewhere I can heal first." Little One's injuries weren't light. There were plenty of bloody holes in his body, and they were still bleeding.

"Let's go. Once you're healed, we'll see what those Rain Clan people are up to. They sent four Sealers in this time." Bai Yixin summoned his flashy Three-Foot Green Blade and took Little One with him, flying on his sword in search of a Spirit Mountain where they could treat his wounds.
