Terrified screams shattered the silence of the sea.
At the moment when the Yinyang Qingfan aura was revealed.
Qing Huayu suddenly turned around.
Then, his figure flashed by like a shooting star.
After creating distance, it quickly Void Return original form and disappeared.
The entire movement was performed in one smooth motion.
Without the slightest hesitation or delay.
Not to mention Yinyang Qingfan, even his own elders were caught off guard.
By the time they realized what was happening, Qing Huayu had already vanished.
Only the grim-faced crowd remained, along with Yinyang Qingfan's icy voice.
"Surrender, or die."
Four simple words enraged everyone.
They were, after all, cultivators at the Void Return, and some of them were even in the Late Void Return.
Even if the newcomer is a cultivator at the Dao Integration stage, two of them could still escape if they wanted to.
How can they be so arrogant?
At this moment, no one could discern the exact extent of Yinyang Qingfan's cultivation.
But they knew that the other party was at the Void Return or higher.
If that's the case, if you can't win, can't you at least run away?
With Qing Huayu escaping first, they might be able to do it too.
After each shouting angrily, they successively cast spells to summon their treasures, while some waved their hands to control spirits.
They planned to scatter and flee.
Having already let one escape, how could Yinyang Qingfan allow this group of Void Return cultivators, who were so close to her, to escape again?
With a cold snort, she raised her hand and unleashed a rope-shaped Law Treasure.
This is not her Law Treasure.
It was the first Law Treasure that the Dongfang Household sealed within Dongfang Jiangxue's body.
It is also a treasure hailed as the ancestral artifact of the Dongfang Household Clan.
It is also a true pseudo-seventh-tier top-tier magic Law Treasure.
Logically speaking, a seventh-tier Law Artifact should no longer be called Law Treasure, but rather Spirit Artifact.
However, the Artifact Spirit within this Law Treasure was casually erased by her the moment Yinyang Qingfan awoke.
There is no longer Artifact Spirit.
Therefore, it can only be considered a pseudo-seventh-tier Law Treasure that is neither fish nor fowl.
Even its power is greatly reduced.
However, some of its effects are quite good, such as... trapping the enemy!
Yinyang Qingfan flicked his fingertips lightly.
The rope-like Law Treasure suddenly flew out, swelling in the wind.
An invisible ripple spread out from the center of the Law Treasure.
Wherever it passed, the void froze and the seawater stagnated.
The cultivators who Void Return stage suddenly froze.
It was as if he was bound by invisible chains, unable to struggle, his movements slowed down.
In an instant, everyone's face fell.
He turned his head with difficulty, his face filled with fear.
He looked at Yinyang Qingfan, who was slowly walking towards him from behind.
"Run! Why are you stopping?"
Yinyang Qingfan stood with his hands behind his back, his tone indifferent.
Those idiots, if they hadn't gotten so close to her...
We really can't tie them all up at once.
The Dragon-Binding Rope, an ancestral artifact of the Dongfang Household, was originally prepared for Ao Qing.
After the Artifact Spirit was erased, it ended up binding her.
It's a pity.
Let one escape.
His gaze swept over the crowd.
Yinyang Qingfan sensed that everyone's aura was slightly different.
"Which state are you monks from?"
"Speak quickly and clearly, and I will grant you a chance to meet the Dao Lord."
"If it's unclear... then I'll have to relay it to you."
Yinyang Qingfan spoke in a detached tone, without any hint of threat or intimidation.
This startled all the cultivators, causing them to tremble.
Just then, the other person revealed a set of pearly white teeth.
One smile was enough to terrify many who Void Return.
The one who first explored Yinyang Qingfan immediately bowed down and confessed.
"Senior, spare our lives! We are cultivators from the Eastern Continent!"
"This time, we are here on the orders of the sect leader to punish the person with the Dragon Fate of the Western Continent, yes, that is, the ruler of the Litian Dao Court."
"That's right, we are merely acting under orders; the final decision rests with our sect leader!"
"Please investigate thoroughly, senior!"
"..."
Amidst the chaotic shouts, Qing Huayu became known as the leader.
He became the mastermind behind this plan.
Upon hearing this, Yinyang Qingfan felt even more regretful.
We just let this person escape.
I don't know how to explain this when the Dao Lord returns.
He was already dissatisfied, and looking at the other cultivators only made him angrier.
"Hmph! A bunch of useless trash, at least you explained yourself clearly."
"Your lives are temporarily returned to you. As for what happens next, we'll discuss that later. Now... all of you, kneel down and wait!"
"Those who mutate, die!"
Yinyang Qingfan's voice was icy cold and filled with anger.
His own Soul Dao Law Power, comparable to that of Venerable, surged wildly.
Without any concealment, he directly and bluntly exerted his power over the cultivators.
The oppressive aura was so terrifying that the cultivators dared not even show anger.
Not to mention face, dignity, and status.
The dozen or so Void Return knelt on the spot, utterly silent.
This was the scene that greeted Lu Li and the others when they emerged from the Mystic Realm Small World.
After clearly seeing the fifteen unfamiliar Void Return kneeling before Yinyang Qingfan Fan...
Lu Li, Changming, Changye, and the others were stunned.
"Who are these people...? How come so many Void Return have appeared in the Western Continent while I was away?"
Lu Li didn't react.
Cultivators Void Return are extremely rare in the Western Continent.
Especially for humans who Void Return, it is almost impossible to see them.
But right now, there are fifteen of them in front of me.
And he had never seen any of them.
Even Ao Li was somewhat bewildered.
I don't know where this human force came from in the Western Sea.
They then saw Lu Li and the others returning from the Mystic Realm Small World.
Yinyang Qingfan Fan immediately flew over and quickly recounted the events of the past few days.
This includes the information and secrets she extracted from the monks through interrogation.
He spoke for a full half-incense stick's time before he finished.
" Dao Lord, that's all. Except for Qing Huayu, the Eastern Continent's prodigy with a special Fate Pattern, who ran away."
"The rest have been subdued by me."
After listening to Yinyang Qingfan's words, Lu Li's expression remained unchanged.
A hint of surprise flickered deep in his eyes.
"I really didn't expect these geniuses to arrive so timely."
" The Endless Western Sea had just been subdued when these people arrived."
"Not bad, not bad at all. They managed to capture over a dozen Void Return cultivators from just one state."
"If we add the Southern Continent and Northern Continent States, and combine them with the Void Return Sea Demons, wouldn't our Dao Court's Void Return True Lord number over a hundred?"
For Lu Li at this moment...
The prodigies of each state are no threat at all.
At best, they're here to offer resources and fortuitous opportunity.
Just like these dozen or so Void Return right now, not to mention they themselves will become the Dao Court's labor force.
His stored wealth and fortune will be entirely incorporated into the Dao Court.
Most importantly, the great talents of the South, North, and Eastern Continent were all captured.
This means that the three prefectures behind it have essentially fallen into the hands of the Dao Court.
Once it is received and organized, it will be completely incorporated into the Dao Court territory.
By then, Lu Li's fourth major strategic plan—to conquer the four states and set his sights on the Central Continent— would be nearly half complete.
Thinking of this, Lu Li looked up, not even glancing at the cultivators before him.
He quickly gave orders to the people behind him and to Yinyang Qingfan.
"The elites from all the states have arrived; now, issue my orders..."
"Mobilize all Void Return of my Dao Court to encircle and annihilate these cultivators!"
