A probing attack

After all, the rules set by the Zun Sheng were too harsh.

In this way, it seems that their Southern Domain Great Shaman' entry into the Ancient Secret Realm this time will only benefit the people of the Ancient Domain, serving as mere tools.

If the Ancient Domain were to obtain a large amount of Profound Yellow Qi within this secret realm, it might cause an imbalance in the high-end combat power between the Southern Domain and the Ancient Domain.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Kun Hai, the ninth-level ancestor of the Kun family, spoke with a hint of provocation, "We are not targeting you. It's just that the ancient secret realm belongs to my ancient domain. Giving you a spot to enter as a great witch of the Southern Domain is already a favor."

A hot-tempered Great Shaman from the Southern Domain spoke up, "What a blessing! We predicted the eruption of the Profound Yellow Qi in the Ancient Secret Realm long ago. If it weren't for those Deputy Prefecture Lord Wushi appearing in the Southern Domain and promising the Secret Realm Slot, we probably would have attacked long ago."

Zhen Changsheng added fuel to the fire, laughing, "Oh, you're attacking again? You Mage, give it a try. Do you think we Ancient Domain people are made of clay?"

Inside the main hall, tensions were high between the two sides.

However, a few quick-witted Great Shaman noticed that the people from the Ancient Domain had summoned them today, seemingly to deliberately provoke them.

Just then, the handsome young Mage in white robes from the Southern Domain smiled and said, "We are all human. When we encounter such an opportunity as the eruption of Profound Yellow Qi, we should work together."

The young white-robed Great Shaman, named Serlan, is skilled in healing and prophetic Sorcery. He is a rare genius who ascended to the rank of Great Shaman in the Southern Domain a year ago and built his own Mage Tower.

It is worth mentioning that the first person to come to the Ancient Domain was this Great Shaman Serlan, and it was also this person who proposed that Lin Yi was the Descendant of the spirit.

Although the Zun Sheng and the Prefecture Lord were not concerned about Lin Yi's true identity, they revealed Lin Yi's identity as the Descendant out of a provocative mentality, so that Lin Yi would not feel any resentment towards this person.

A Great Shaman quickly shifted the focus of the argument. "Great Shaman Serlan is right. Whether Mage or warriors, they are all human. But why are there Monster in this hall? How can such an opportunity as the Profound Yellow Qi be shared by Monster?"

"These Monster were released by the people of the Ancient Domain, Zun Sheng, you should explain yourself!"

Hearing the questions from several Great Shaman, before the Zun Sheng could speak, the Ram-headed Envoy smiled and said, "Southern Domain Great Shaman, since we are qualified to enter the Ancient Secret Realm, we naturally have irreplaceable value."

"And isn't the value of you Southern Domain Witch precisely to pave the way through the Sea of Stars?"

"Even without you, the Sea of Stars is still a viable exploration destination. It seems the Ancient Domain has given you a few more Secret Realm Slot..."

The Envoy Demon God showed no respect for the Southern Domain Witch.

Over the past thousands of years, the Supreme Demon Domain and the Southern Domain have fought several battles, but most of them ended in defeat for the Southern Domain.

In their view, the DJI forces within the main hall are ranked as follows: the Ancient Domain ranks first, their Supreme Demon Domain ranks second, and the Southern Domain Witch rank third.

The Great Shaman Moerde immediately roared in anger, "You Monster! If it weren't for the Ancient Domain, you would already be dissecting material in our laboratory!"

The raging Envoy Demon God beside the Ram-headed Envoy was not to be outdone, roaring angrily, "Hmph! What right does a mere Great Shaman have to be so arrogant? If this were not the Ancient Domain, you would have long since become Honored Envoy meal!"

"If you dare to be arrogant again, I guarantee that once you come out, the Southern Domain Witch Realm will be turned into a dead zone!"

"Hmph! Does your Supreme Demon Domain intend to wage war against my Southern Domain? I heard that a group of your Envoy Demon God were recently killed. I wonder how many Honored Demon the Supreme Demon Domain still has to speak so arrogantly..."

Seeing the four Envoy Demon God arguing with the Southern Domain Great Shaman, the Nine-Realm Ancestor Ancient Domain ancestors all watched the show with smiles on their faces.

Previously, the Great Shaman Serlan wanted to bring the Southern Domain and the Ancient Domain into the same camp to fight against the Supreme Demon Domain forces.

Unexpectedly, the Ram-headed Envoy was not stupid; he directly stated his position and sided with the Ancient Domain.

After all, the Ancient Domain currently holds the real control over the Ancient Secret Realm slots, and it is also the Ancient Domain that possesses powerful combat strength!

As for the Zun Sheng, he shook his head slightly.

He had convened this hastily to test the bottom line and methods of the Southern Domain Great Shaman, but unexpectedly, these Southern Domain Great Shaman turned their guns on the Ancient Domain Honored Demon of daring to oppose it.

I'm afraid the next meeting won't be able to proceed.

However, at first glance, these Southern Domain Great Shaman do not appear to be colluding with the four-headed Honored Demon.

Tong Pass Prefecture Hall, the arguing continued and escalated.

Only when the Zun Sheng shouted to stop did the Great Shaman and the Envoy Demon God cease their argument.

"Alright, everyone disperse. We'll discuss the rules we set today another day!"

Subsequently, Lin Yi led his men to escort the seven Great Shaman and the four Envoy Demon God out of Tongguan Prefecture.

Above the mountains, standing amidst the clouds, Lin Yi suddenly spoke, offering a warning:

"Everyone, please refrain from wandering around Martial Saint City before the Ancient Secret Realm opens!"

"If any of you are found to have any ill intentions, kill them all!"

To be honest, Lin Yi's attitude wasn't exactly condescending, but neither the four Honored Demon nor the seven Southern Domain Great Shaman said much.

The story of Lin Yi Yi's battle in suppressing the Demon Honored Demon at the Second Tong Pass Prefecture has already spread among them.

If we're talking about which powerful figure in the Ancient Domain is not to be trifled with, Lin Yi, who controls the Combined Tong Pass Treasure artifact, is definitely one of them.

The white-robed Great Shaman Serlan, adopting the Ancient Domain's etiquette, cupped his hands and said, "Deputy Prefecture Lord Qin, rest assured. We Southern Domain Witch have long heard of the Ancient Domain Ancient Domain's prosperity and would not do anything harmful to it. However, the rules spoken by the Zun Sheng today are truly unfair. May I ask why Deputy Prefecture Lord Wushi?"

Lin Yi coldly stared at him. "Even if he is a bastard, he won't speak up for you."

The Great Shaman Serlan felt a chill in his heart; he could sense Lin Yi's hostility towards him.

As for the reason, it is probably related to what he said at the Second Tong Pass some time ago.

He couldn't help but wonder: This Deputy Prefecture Lord Qin was definitely related to the Descendant, but why didn't the Ancient Domain Zun Sheng and the Tongguan Prefecture react? Could it be that they hadn't found any evidence?

Lin Yi had no idea what Yu Serlan was thinking. He glanced at the remaining six Southern Domain Great Shaman in the arena and said, "As for not doing anything harmful to the Ancient Domain, it's too early to say. Gentlemen, does any of you know that Professional-level Wraith have appeared in certain areas of the Ancient Domain recently?"

Upon hearing the Professional-level Wraith, a Great Shaman in the arena suddenly showed a slight change in expression.

Lin Yi looked at this person.

He was an elderly man with thinning hair, dressed in a brown Mage's robe, with a gloomy face and an aura of death emanating from his body.

Lin Yi had already collected information about the Southern Domain Great Shaman.

This Southern Domain Great Shaman Garier, and he was Mage specialized in the study of the undead.

It is said that he also built a Mage Tower to imprison an army of ten thousand undead.

If we were to name the most likely Southern Domain Great Shaman the battlefield to research and raise Strange Spirit, this Garier would certainly be one of them.

"Great Shaman Garier, is this matter related to you?"

Seeing Lin Yi's sharp gaze, Garier said in a deep voice, "Deputy Prefecture Lord Qin is joking. Although I have some research on Strange Spirit, how could I possibly release Strange Spirit from the Ancient Domain to harm ordinary people?"

"Furthermore, since arriving in the Martial Saint City, I haven't left the city..."

Lin Yi shook his head and interrupted, "According to the information I received, since you arrived in Garier Martial Saint City, several of your Great Shaman have disappeared, and the places they frequented are areas with Professional-level Wraith. How do you intend to explain this?"

"Forehead..."

Gallier's expression changed drastically. He did not expect that his experiment of using ordinary people's blood to sacrifice to Strange Spirit would be discovered by the people of Ancient Domain Tong Pass Prefecture so quickly.

Damn it, it must be those disciples he took in who exposed the traces!

Five-star Shaman skilled in stealth and invisibility couldn't even handle a small matter properly, and even dragged him into it. How foolish!

Gallier quickly said, "Deputy Prefect Qin, sacrificing ordinary people to Strange Spirit is an outrage against both gods and men. If this was done by my disciple, I will not help him. Whether to kill or banish him is up to Deputy Prefect Qin to decide."

"Great Shaman, you are quite capable, exonerating yourself with just one sentence. But why do your disciples claim they were acting on your orders?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi threw out a blond Mage whose limbs had been broken.

Encouraged by the Thunder Liquid Spirit Brew, Chen Muer, Zhuge Jiujian, and others quickly captured the Mage who had released the Professional-level Wraith.

These Mage were all newly promoted to the fifth level of the Five-Star Professional Mage, equivalent to the first three realms of Martial Saint. Chen Muer and the others had to go through a lot of trouble to capture one of them.

As for the others, they are still on the run.

"Teacher, help me..."

The blond Mage, the Southern Domain Great Shaman, glanced around and spotted Gallier. He immediately cried out for help, his expression filled with excitement.

But Gallier frowned, and a beam of dark light shot from his pupils, landing on the blond Mage.

Before everyone's eyes, the blond Mage didn't even utter a sound of agony before turning into a black, withered skeleton that looked as if its life essence had been drained.

Lin Yi sneered, "Great Shaman, you are quite capable, killing someone right in front of me Qin!"

"Deputy Prefect Qin, this person is Mage from the Southern Domain. Although your Ancient Domain has made a mistake, I am qualified to deal with it. Moreover, I cannot condone the use of ordinary people to raise Strange Spirit."

"I certainly can't stand it, but since I've brought up the matter of Qin Strange Spirit, I'll naturally get to the bottom of it."

Seeing Lin Yi relentlessly pursuing him, Gallier frowned. "Deputy Prefect Qin, don't make a mistake for yourself. I am the Great Shaman representing the Southern Domain!"

Even if you were the King of Heaven, it wouldn't matter!

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi waved his sleeve, and ten golden rays shot out.

"Could this be the Tongguan Treasure...?"

"Deputy Prefect Qin, this has nothing to do with me..."

Upon discovering that Lin Yi's move was intended to suppress all surrounding space, the Southern Domain Great Shaman and the four Envoy Demon God all tried to escape.

Among them, the Ram-headed Envoy the fastest, after all, he had already witnessed the power of the combined treasures of Tongguan Treasure.

The next moment, ten dazzling rays of light, as brilliant as the sun, poured down from the depths of the void.

An overwhelming pressure surged forth like a tidal wave. Whether it was the Southern Domain Great Shaman or the Envoy Demon God, they all felt as if a million mountains were pressing down on them, making it difficult to breathe.

Sensing the danger, the Envoy Demon God first deployed their respective Domain to resist the oppressive power of the Tongguan Treasure.

Meanwhile, the Southern Domain Great Shaman murmured Sorcery, and behind them, enormous towers vaguely appeared.

This is the Mage Tower that all the Great Shaman have poured their lives into building.

Among them, the Mage Tower of Gallier was the first to be summoned.

Thick, inky clouds filled the surrounding area, and a Necromancer Mage Tower, like a malevolent creature growing from the depths of Hell, emerged from the clouds.

The tower is made entirely of dark purple, jagged rocks, the surface of which is covered with pits and cracks, like the marks left by countless twisted hands scratching, and it also exudes a nauseating stench.

The spire is a sharp triangle, piercing the clouds, with a huge dragon skeleton hanging at the top. Each window on First-Floor Tower is like a gaping maw, with the window frames pieced together from white bones. Through the windows, one can vaguely see eerie figures inside, and from time to time, a sinister chuckle can be heard.

"Hmph! You're just Martial Dao Divine Artifact, Qin Jian. Do you really think this witch is afraid of you!"

With the Mage Tower in hand, Gallier was full of confidence. Black light flashed in his hand, and numerous shadow monsters poured out of the Necromancer Mage Tower.

Upon hearing the commotion outside Tongguan Prefecture, Zun Sheng and a group of Martial Arts Nine-Realm Ancestor instantly appeared.

"What happened? Why did they suddenly start fighting...?"

"Brother Qin has brought out even the Tongguan Treasure; it seems he's angry..."

Among the crowd, only Zun Sheng seemed unsurprised by the sudden battle.

He stroked his beard, his pupils gleaming as he carefully examined the Mage Tower of the Southern Domain Great Shaman.

High in the sky, the battle has begun.

Under the control of the Gallier, countless shadow monsters swarmed and attacked Lin Yi.

These shadowy monsters come in various shapes, like a combination of Monster and Strange Spirit, and each one has at least the combat power of Four-Star Profession.

"Qin Jian, you attacked first today. I was only protecting myself. If you admit your mistake and surrender, this Great Shaman may spare your life!"

"Ridiculous!"

Lin Yi threw a punch, thunder roared, the world changed drastically, and countless shadow monsters instantly turned to ashes.

The Town Law Thunder Fist is inherently effective against obscene and Evil Creature. Lin Yi hadn't even used 30% of his strength with this punch, yet he had already wiped out all the shadow monsters.

However, Lin Yi discovered that these shadow monsters did not seem to be completely dead; the remaining spiritual imprints could not be erased even by the Town Law Thunder Fist.

As the mark was imprinted into the Mage Tower, shadow monsters Rebirth in an endless stream.

Interesting!

Looks like Mage using a Necromancer mass production strategy!

"You have some nerve! You're asking for it, so don't blame me!"

Gallier a roar, dozens more Monster, gleaming with the light of white bones and stained with blood, emerged from the Necromancer Mage Tower.

Upon entering the outside world, the Bone Monster instantly grew a hundred times larger, each one comparable in size to a mountain.

Furthermore, each of these Bone Monster exudes the aura of Domain, seemingly no weaker than seventh realm Martial Saint from the Ancient Domain!

Upon seeing this, the other three Envoy Demon God, including the Ram-headed Envoy, all showed anger.

Clearly, these enormous skeletons were created by Gallier using the corpses of numerous Heaven-Piercing Demon God.

A Honored Demon roared, "I saw my former subordinates! This Southern Domain Great Shaman deserves to die! He actually used my men to create corpses!"

"Don't worry, this Great Shaman is not far from death. Qin Jian... the Deputy Prefect has not yet used his full strength."

The Ram-headed Envoy had witnessed the full power of Lin Yi activating the Combined Tong Pass Divine Artifact Armor, so it seemed to it that Lin Yi was holding back in the current battle.

Otherwise, the Combined Tong Pass Divine Artifact could have sealed off the space first and then forcefully suppressed it.
