#22 - Chapter 22 I, Luo Yangtian, suppress the Demon Ancestor with one hand
The next day, early morning.
Mount Xiaoyao, on Peach Mountain.
Ye Kong stretched lazily and walked out of Lin Yaoyao's thatched cottage.
A night had passed, and no assassins had come again, so it was likely that everything was fine.
Ye Kong looked back at Lin Yaoyao and, seeing that she was still meditating, didn't wake her.
Immediately, he left Peach Mountain and sat by the Bitter Sea to fish.
Suddenly, the system's voice rang in his ears.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for breaking the silence and obtaining a special item: a fishing opportunity!"
Not long after the system's voice fell, Ye Kong raised his fishing rod, and a mirror appeared in his hand.
"Heavenly Net Mirror: The cultivation of the person illuminated will drop by 90%!"
After listening to the system's explanation, Ye Kong shone the mirror on himself, looking at his handsome face through the mirror, and activated it with spiritual power.
Buzz!
Ye Kong immediately felt that his spiritual power was weakened by 90%, but it didn't affect him much.
Not bad!
"I love fishing, fishing is great."
Ye Kong couldn't help but sing.
A quarter of an hour later,
Lin Yaoyao quietly opened her eyes and, seeing that her master was gone, breathed a sigh of relief.
Last night, neither of them slept.
One was worried that people from the Demon Sect would come, and the other was afraid that the other party would do something to her.
Lin Yaoyao looked at the Purple Phoenix Spirit in her hand, her brow furrowing.
"I hope Master won't think too much; this Emperor is just using this thing to cultivate."
Lin Yaoyao walked out of the thatched cottage and saw from afar that her master was sitting by the Bitter Sea fishing.
Master is really something, clearly terrified to death last night, yet today he's still leisurely fishing.
Lin Yaoyao muttered in her heart and sat by the pond to cultivate.
… …
Demon Music Palace.
The life tokens of the Ten Great Shadows were all broken, proving that they were already dead.
"Palace Master, should the plan still be executed?" Black Cloud knelt below and asked.
"Yes." Xu Bubai nodded slightly and said, "The spiritual vein of Mount Xiaoyao has been interrupted; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You transmit the order to the hidden guard planted in the Star River Sect, and let him break open the formation and release the Old Ancestor!"
"My Demon Music Palace has waited too long for this opportunity, and we must not miss it again!"
"Yes!" Black Cloud responded and turned to leave.
Xu Bubai sat in the main seat, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest.
The hidden guard buried for many years should also be put to use.
… …
That night.
The hidden guard lurking in the Star River Sect came down from Sky Sword Peak, hiding in the darkness, and quietly approached Mount Xiaoyao.
Few people know that the formation imprisoning the Demon Sect Old Ancestor is within the spiritual vein of Mount Xiaoyao.
The hidden guard sneaked all the way, quietly approached the excavated spiritual vein, looked at the spiritual vein below that had not yet recovered, and immediately took out a black long nail.
"Demon Sect Old Ancestor, come out!"
After the hidden guard finished speaking softly, he drove the black long nail into the spiritual vein.
Rumble!
The Star River Sect shook for a while, and everyone was awakened from their sleep.
Inside the Star River Hall.
The Star River under Luo Yangtian's feet was turbulent and uneasy, and a powerful aura spread from under his feet.
"Heh heh heh heh, this old ancestor is about to come out!" The Demon Sect Old Ancestor sneered under Luo Yangtian's feet.
Luo Yangtian carried his hands behind his back and said slowly, "You've been stepped on by me for so many years; even if you can come out, so what?"
Luo Yangtian's hands behind his back were full of sweat.
The Star River was shaking, and he was still a little panicked. What if the Demon Sect Old Ancestor really came out...…
It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, unless the formation trapping him is broken.
But the formation trapping him is under the spiritual vein of Mount Xiaoyao, and not many people know about it. Who would break it open?
Stay calm, don't panic!
"Hmph, if it weren't for you guys besieging me in the first place, could I have been captured by you? Ridiculous!" The Demon Sect Old Ancestor sneered.
"I don't care about that; anyway, you've been stepped on by me for many years," Luo Yangtian said calmly.
"Don't bother struggling; even if you come out, this Sect Leader can crush you in minutes!"
As the Star River trembled, a wisp of black gas emanated, solidifying into a figure.
"Luo Yangtian, guess when I'll come out?" The Demon Sect Old Ancestor sneered.
Luo Yangtian, with his back to the Demon Sect Old Ancestor, was even more nervous.
It can't be, it can't be; the demonic energy is leaking out. Is he really about to come out?
Once the Demon Sect Old Ancestor breaks out, I won't be able to beat him either.
What's out now is just a clone of the Demon Sect Old Ancestor.
"Great Elder, go investigate quickly whether there's a problem with the spiritual vein of Mount Xiaoyao," Luo Yangtian hurriedly ordered.
"Sect Leader, regarding the Demon Sect Old Ancestor here, should we ask for reinforcements?" the Great Elder asked.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yangtian appeared contemptuous on the surface and said, "A mere Demon Sect Old Ancestor is nothing; this Sect Leader can suppress him with a flip of the hand!"
Once the Demon Sect Old Ancestor breaks out, no one can help.
Luo Yangtian also prepared to run away at any time.
The Great Elder looked at Luo Yangtian's back, filled with emotion.
As expected of the Sect Leader, not panicking in the face of danger.
After cupping his hands and bowing, the Great Elder quickly left.
"It's just a clone; this Sect Leader can break it with a wave of his hand!" Luo Yangtian raised his right hand and slapped the clone to death.
As soon as he slapped it to death, the Star River trembled again.
Black gas filled the air, and terrifying black gas swept across the entire hall, enveloping the Star River Sect. The Demon Sect Old Ancestor appeared behind him.
His whole body was entwined with black gas, exuding endless pressure, making people palpitate.
"Come, try slapping again!" The Demon Sect Old Ancestor said with a faint smile.
He had already come out!
Luo Yangtian felt a chill in his heart, his back to the Demon Sect Old Ancestor, not daring to turn around.
Damn it, he really broke out!
Who the hell broke open the spiritual vein of Mount Xiaoyao?
No, no, I have to run, I have to run.
Luo Yangtian appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was panicking like crazy.
Facing the Demon Sect Old Ancestor is like facing fear!
The previous Sect Leader couldn't beat him, let alone himself.
The Demon Sect Old Ancestor's whole body surged with black gas, covering the sky and sun, enveloping the top of the Star River Sect.
The entire Star River Sect seemed to have fallen into absolute darkness, without a trace of light.
In the Demon Sect Old Ancestor's domain, the Demon Sect Old Ancestor could absorb everyone's spiritual power for his own use.
"Heh heh heh heh... Your Star River Sect will become my food!" The Demon Sect Old Ancestor sneered, absorbing everyone's spiritual power.
Luo Yangtian, with his hands behind his back, was about to run away when he heard the voices of the disciples below.
"The Demon Sect Old Ancestor is out, run!"
"Run, we'll all die if we don't!"
"What are you afraid of? Didn't you see that the Sect Leader is still standing above the Star River, with his back to the Demon Sect Old Ancestor?"
"That's right, as long as the Sect Leader is here, he will definitely suppress the Demon Sect Old Ancestor. We must believe in the Sect Leader!"
Everyone said in unison, looking at the Sect Leader's back, no longer so afraid.
Damn it, who's trying to kill me with praise?
Am I showing my back? I'm just afraid to turn around, okay?
The Star River Sect, looking at the newly emerged Demon Sect Old Ancestor with divine sense, gritted his teeth and said:
"Demon Sect Old Ancestor, even if you come out, this Sect Leader can still kill you!"
"See, the Sect Leader said he can kill the Demon Sect Old Ancestor with one slap. Everyone, don't panic!" The Second Elder stabilized the people's hearts.
The Demon Sect Old Ancestor looked at Luo Yangtian's back and sneered, "Just you?"
After speaking, black gas enveloped Luo Yangtian.
"Hmph, just a trick of the trade," Luo Yangtian snorted coldly, having already found the best escape route.
Never mind, I'll run after slapping once.
I can't beat him!
Luo Yangtian was still very self-aware; he and the Demon Sect Old Ancestor were not in the same league at all. He couldn't beat him at all.
He could only run, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.
"Starfall!" Luo Yangtian shouted loudly, slapping out with his palm.
The stars twinkled and bloomed with brilliance, becoming the only ray of light in this endless darkness.
Taking advantage of the gap before the attack landed, Luo Yangtian's figure flashed and disappeared on the Star River.
Never mind, I'm running; my life is more important!
Luo Yangtian's figure disappeared, seen by everyone.
"Why did the Sect Leader run away?" Everyone was puzzled.
On Mount Xiaoyao.
Ye Kong looked into the distance, sensing the aura of the Demon Sect Old Ancestor.
"He could even release him?"
Ye Kong shook his head and sighed, flipping his hand and taking out the Heavenly Net Mirror.
Activating it with spiritual power, he shone it on the Demon Sect Old Ancestor.
The Demon Sect Old Ancestor's figure appeared in the Heavenly Net Mirror, his whole body filled with black gas, incomparably terrifying.
"Who is spying on this old ancestor?" The Demon Sect Old Ancestor sensed that someone was spying on him.
Just as the star was about to fall, the Demon Sect Old Ancestor smiled slightly, mobilizing the spiritual power in his body to resist.
"I didn't expect the Star River Sect Leader to have so little ability. This old man can suppress it with 30% of his power!"
But...…
Upon mobilizing it, his expression changed drastically.
Where's my spiritual power?
He felt that his strength had been weakened by 90%!
And he couldn't absorb other people's spiritual power to use!
What's going on?
Just as the Demon Sect Old Ancestor was suspicious, the star pierced through the darkness.
The Demon Sect Old Ancestor's black gas was directly shattered by the star.
The Demon Sect Old Ancestor resisted with all his might, but facing Luo Yangtian's attack, he couldn't mobilize spiritual power to resist.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the Demon Sect Old Ancestor was directly smashed back into the seal.
"Ah, I'm not reconciled!" The Demon Sect Old Ancestor roared angrily.
The demonic energy dissipated, and the Star River gradually returned to calm.
Everyone looked at the falling star, their eyes widened.
"Sect Leader... sealed the Demon Sect Old Ancestor again with one slap. What powerful strength!"
"So the Sect Leader didn't run away but suppressed the Demon Sect Old Ancestor with a flip of his hand, leaving the finishing work to others."
"Sect Leader is mighty, long live the Sect Leader!" Everyone shouted.
Luo Yangtian, who had just run to the foot of the mountain, stood next to the beggar's den.
Inside the beggar's den, a seven- or eight-year-old beggar stared with puzzled eyes, looking at Luo Yangtian.
Luo Yangtian looked back and shook his head and sighed.
"Alas, it's not that I don't want to save you, but that I can't beat him. Star River Sect, run as many as you can," Luo Yangtian shook his head and sighed.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw the black gas of the Star River Sect dissipate.
Releasing his divine sense to look, the Demon Sect Old Ancestor was also gone...…
What's the situation?
Was he really suppressed by my slap?
Am I that strong?
No, it's probably because the Demon Sect Old Ancestor was imprisoned for too long and his strength hadn't recovered yet.
Thinking of this, Luo Yangtian's figure flashed and reappeared on the Star River.
Carrying his hands behind his back, facing the entire Star River Sect, his hair fluttering, everyone only saw a powerful white-robed back.
"Bearing the burden of all living beings and saving the people from fire and water is the responsibility of us cultivators!" Luo Yangtian said softly, his voice spreading throughout the Star River Sect.
"Sect Leader is mighty!!!" The entire Star River Sect, from top to bottom, shouted in unison.
There was a figure hiding in the dark, silently watching Luo Yangtian.
"Impossible, Luo Yangtian can't be that strong!" The hidden guard didn't believe at all that Luo Yangtian could seal the Demon Sect Old Ancestor with one slap.
The Great Elder, holding a black long nail, appeared beside Luo Yangtian and said:
"Sect Leader, this is the demonic artifact that destroyed the spiritual vein of Mount Xiaoyao."
Luo Yangtian quietly put the thing away, nodding lightly.
