#2757 - Slave One

The three retainers of the Yi family were in disbelief upon realizing that Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian had discovered them as soon as they left the sect.

In their opinion, their cultivation was so high.

Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian were merely two cultivators at the Legendary Realm, and with all three of them in a state of concealment, separated by over a hundred miles, how could they have been discovered so easily?

Such a thing was simply a fantasy.

Were these rogue cultivators at the Legendary Realm really so heaven-defying?

"Whether you believe it or not, it's up to you. If you insist on deceiving yourselves, that's certainly your prerogative."

Jun Wuxie looked at the three somewhat exasperated retainers of the Yi family with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Clearly, they couldn't accept that their cultivation, separated by over a hundred miles, could be detected by two rogue cultivators at the Legendary Realm.

"Hahaha! What self-deception!

Yuan Chu, Su Qingqian!

In fact, when you discovered us is of no importance at all.

What, do you really think you can contend with us!

It's laughable that you, having discovered us trailing you, didn't try your best to shake us off, or flee to a populated area. Instead, you came to such a desolate place.

Now you've even taken the initiative to jump out, putting on an act as if you deliberately lured us here, as if you've set up some kind of trap waiting for us.

Playing psychological warfare with us, thinking that doing so will create the illusion that you have some amazing trump card, making us afraid to attack you and causing us to retreat?

I must say, your minds are quite quick.

It's just a pity that you're still too inexperienced to play psychological warfare with the three of us!

You've overlooked the fact that we have the advantage of absolute strength to crush you, so there's no need to consider what trump cards you might have."

"That's right! Yuan Chu, Su Qingqian, we know that Steward Zhuang of the Daoxue Hall thinks highly of you, so much so that Steward Li of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall also takes care of you.

This time, you dared to boldly run out of the sect and come to the desolate mountains outside the city, so you must have some magical artifacts given to you by Steward Li.

It's a pity that you rogue cultivators still have too narrow a perspective and don't know that in the face of absolute crushing strength, even possessing magical artifacts is useless.

Magical artifacts are good, but they also require corresponding strength to activate them.

With your strength, just entering the Legendary Realm, how much power can a powerful magical artifact unleash in your hands?

No matter how strong the magical artifact, the power you unleash can only barely contend with a powerhouse at the Everlasting Realm for a few moves at most.

Once you exhaust your immortal energy, we can crush you with a flick of our fingers!"

The three retainers of the Yi family sneered incessantly, their immortal energy already beginning to surge, forming violent gusts of wind in the mountains and forests, causing the surrounding trees to sway wildly as if swept by a hurricane, with leaves falling everywhere.

"A mere two Legendaries, plus a tiny Everlasting Realm, dare to speak so presumptuously."

Jun Wuxie stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes and black hair dancing wildly in the gale formed by the opponent's immortal energy.

At this moment, he was completely different from his usual self.

He exuded an aura of looking down upon the world.

That kind of aura was like the return of a king of the heavens, looking down upon all living beings.

This aura startled the three retainers of the Yi family.

They suddenly had a preposterous illusion that even they themselves found absurd.

The body of this rogue cultivator in front of them suddenly became incomparably majestic, like the spine of this heaven and earth, as if everything in the world was insignificant in front of him, including themselves.

How could a mere rogue cultivator have this kind of aura, how could he make them feel this way?

"Arrogant rogue cultivator, your status is humble, you're just a commoner. Did you think that becoming a disciple of the Jinyun Immortal Sect would make you rise to the top!

Watch how I suppress you!

You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

Among the three retainers, the strongest Everlasting Realm retainer was even more furious than before.

He had actually felt that way in the face of this rogue cultivator's aura, which made him feel extremely humiliated.

The Everlasting Realm powerhouse made his move.

Between his hands, a Dao diagram with dazzling immortal light condensed, rapidly expanding and crushing forward.

The pressure of the Everlasting Realm powerhouse swept through the mountains and forests.

"An ant trying to shake a tree."

Jun Wuxie's words were cold and forceful.

As he spoke, facing the attack of the Yi family's Everlasting Realm retainer, he simply pointed a finger casually.

A semi-transparent finger light, seemingly unremarkable, pierced through the Dao diagram the moment it hit.

That seemingly terrifying Dao diagram instantly collapsed.

The finger light swept away everything in its path, directly piercing through the chest of the Everlasting Realm retainer.

The force of the finger light sent the Everlasting Realm retainer flying backward, letting out a miserable scream.

The finger light pierced through from the front, leaving only a blood hole the size of a fingertip, but upon entering his body, it shattered all of his internal organs.

When it pierced out from his back, it tore a fist-sized hole in his back, along with the shattered internal organs.

This strike caused the two Legendary Peak retainers of the Yi family to be terrified, their faces turning pale with fright.

They couldn't believe it, they couldn't accept it!

How could a rogue cultivator at the Legendary Realm be so strong!

The most outrageous thing was that this Yuan Chu didn't use any magical artifacts.

This was his own power!

With a casual gesture, just a finger, he destroyed the Everlasting Realm powerhouse's secret technique Dao diagram and severely injured him!

How could there be such a heaven-defying person in this world!

They were so frightened that their minds went blank and they could barely think.

Before this, they had never imagined that there would be someone at the Legendary Realm who could so easily severely injure an Everlasting Realm powerhouse with one move!

Jun Wuxie's eyes were cold as he locked onto the two Legendary Peak individuals.

They finally recovered from the shock and astonishment, cried out in alarm, and turned to flee.

Jun Wuxie didn't chase, and didn't even rush to attack.

Since he was waiting for them here, then no one would be able to escape today.

The two Legendary Peak retainers of the Yi family had only rushed out a hundred meters or so.

In the mountains and forests, a large amount of rune light emerged, combining with the terrain to form a special field, which suddenly bounced them back.

"What is this? A rune array!"

The two Legendary Peak retainers cried out in alarm, and the severely injured Everlasting Realm retainer was also extremely angry.

How could there be a rune array here?

Yuan Chu and Su Qingqian had only just arrived here, how could they know that there was a rune array here?

The only explanation was that this rune array was created by them.

But the three of them had been following all the way, and had never seen them set up any rune array!

What exactly was going on?

"Yuan Chu! So you had already set up a trap, deliberately waiting for us here!

When exactly did you set up the rune array!

In addition to cultivating martial arts, you actually also cultivate the Dao of Runes, and have cultivated the Dao of Runes to such a profound level!"

The Yi family's Everlasting Realm retainer was filled with anger and fear.

Such a person was simply a world-shattering genius, with extraordinary talent!

Such a person would be frantically snatched up by top-tier Dao lineages no matter where he went.

But why was he just a rogue cultivator in the past?

"There are too many people or things in this world that are far beyond your understanding.

You can only blame yourselves for being retainers in the Yi family, and it just so happens that the Yi family is hostile to me, which has also determined your fate."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he reached out and grabbed towards the two Legendary Peak retainers.

"Yuan Chu! We'll fight you to the death!"

How could those two Legendary Peak retainers be willing to sit and wait for death?

Although their hearts were trembling at this time, and the fear of death filled their entire hearts, they still launched a frantic counterattack.

However, this kind of counterattack was tantamount to a moth flying into a flame.

The secret techniques they used in retaliation collapsed one after another under Jun Wuxie's palm, collapsing at the first touch, not even having the qualifications to touch him.

Such a scene made them feel despair.

They could only watch as that palm enveloped them, unable to resist at all.

In the next moment, the two Legendary Peak retainers fell into Jun Wuxie's blood energy palm.

Although they struggled frantically, using all their strength, it was to no avail, unable to break free at all.

The palm held them in his hand, and they only felt as if mountains were crushing them from all directions, making their bodies completely unable to move, and even their souls felt as if they were about to be crushed.

"Yuan Chu! Who exactly are you!

You are not a rogue cultivator at all, there cannot be such a rogue cultivator in this world!

At the Legendary Realm, instantly severely injuring an Everlasting Realm, reaching out and capturing two Legendary Peak individuals!

Which top-tier Dao lineage wouldn't fight to snatch such a heaven-defying cross-realm combat ability!

How could you be a rogue cultivator!"

They roared in despair, the aura of death was so strong.

Never had they been so close to death.

This sense of powerlessness was too despairing.

If they hadn't become retainers of the Yi family for that bit of resources, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation today!

At this time, whether it was the two Legendary Peak retainers or the Everlasting Realm retainer, they were all filled with regret.

But they knew that no matter how much they regretted it, time could not be reversed, and they could not go back to the time when they made their choices.

Their lives were about to end.

This colorful world, all the aspirations for the future, had turned into a dream bubble, and all their past efforts would vanish into thin air, losing all meaning.

"Don't kill us, we can work for you!"

The fear of death finally shattered their Dao hearts.

They yearned for the hope of life, yearning to continue to stay in this world, to see the brilliance of the world, and continue their journey of life.

However, what awaited them was Jun Wuxie's ruthlessness.

The semi-transparent palm evolved from blood energy shook slightly.

The two Legendary Peak retainers let out a shrill scream.

Their bodies shattered, and blood splattered.

The two of them were crushed in front of the Everlasting Realm retainer.

Not only their bodies, but also their primordial spirits, everything shattered, their bodies and souls extinguished.

Witnessing such a scene, the body of the Eternal Realm gatekeeper, leaning against the tree trunk at the entrance, couldn't help but tremble violently.

The look of terror in his pupils was rapidly spreading, already engulfing his entire being.

"Yuanchu…"

Seeing the god of slaughter-like youth walking towards him, the Eternal Realm gatekeeper's throat tightened, his voice hoarse.

He wanted to say something, but suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say to buy himself a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie stopped about three meters away from him.

He simply looked at him, his face full of fear, already trembling.

However, the development of events did not proceed as the Eternal Realm gatekeeper had expected.

Death did not approach swiftly.

Jun Wuxie did not kill him, but instead clasped his hands together, like a high monk, with a rich Buddhist aura permeating from his body.

A golden Buddhist halo condensed behind his head.

At this moment, he was solemn and dignified, with a hint of compassion.

The golden Buddhist light illuminated this mountain forest.

The surging Buddhist aura enveloped the gatekeeper of the Eternal Realm, causing him to suddenly feel that the fear in his heart had diminished a lot.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of chanting scriptures, and saw dense Sanskrit characters rushing out of Yuanchu's mouth.

He had not yet reacted.

Those Sanskrit characters rushed over in a swarm, entering his sea of consciousness.

The Eternal Realm gatekeeper's body shook violently.

He reacted and knew what he was facing.

The other party's scriptures were actually trying to forcibly erase his will.

He resisted frantically, trying to expel the scriptures, but was unable to succeed at all.

With a resistance, a splitting headache drilled into his brain, making his entire head seem like it was about to explode, causing him to hold his head in his hands and let out a painful cry.

However, his cry did not last long.

Under Jun Wuxie's Scripture of Salvation, the painful expression on the face of the Eternal Realm gatekeeper quickly disappeared, replaced by peace and serenity.

The last trace of struggle in the eyes of the Eternal Realm gatekeeper also disappeared.

His expression became very peaceful, his eyes clear, with an expression of great enlightenment.

When he looked at Jun Wuxie, his eyes were incomparably devout.

"Master, your most loyal believer kneels and thanks you for lighting the lamp for me, guiding me back from the迷途!"

He knelt on the ground, prostrating himself, his butt sticking up high.

"Get up."

The Scripture of Salvation stopped, and Jun Wuxie spoke plainly.

"Yes."

The Eternal Realm gatekeeper got up, standing respectfully in front of him, bowing slightly, his head lowered, not daring to look directly at him.

"From now on, your name is Number One.

This is your code name, remember it?"

"Master, Number One remembers."

"Very good, next, you will stay outside for a day, and then return to the Yi family.

Tell them that the ambush failed, and they did not expect that I have a magic weapon brought out from the Jinyun Immortal Sect, with extremely strong power, which severely injured you and killed the two people.

Do I need to teach you how to speak and act in the future?"

"No, no, Master, don't worry, your most loyal servant, Number One, knows what to do.

In the future, if the Yi family has any movements against the master, servant Number One will definitely report the news to the master as soon as possible."

"Go, but it's best not to leave this mountain range, lest people see you deliberately lingering.

I will give you the order when you can return to the Yi family."

"Yes, Master!"

Servant Number One responded respectfully, with a devout look on his face.

Jun Wuxie didn't say anything more, with a wave of his hand, he cleaned up the bloodstains and traces here, and removed the rune array.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Servant Number One, he left with Mo Qingli.

"In the future, through Number One, we will be able to get news of the Yi family's movements.

Since the Yi family wants to play, I will play with them properly, otherwise, the monotonous cultivation will be less interesting.

Now, we can safely go to the New Mine Town to complete the task."

Jun Wuxie said with a smile.

"It's still Divine Lord Jun, the effect of this Scripture of Salvation is really magical.

But why didn't you use it on the direct descendants of the Yi family when you were in the sect?"

"It's not safe, after all, there are many strong people in the sect. If someone notices something and sees the clues, it will cause even greater trouble."

"That's true."

Mo Qingli didn't say anything more, but began to look forward to it in her heart.

It has been tens of thousands of years since I was in this world. I wonder how many more rare resources there are in the upper realm than before?

I wonder what kind of things can be purchased in the Nine Dragons Imperial City's market with the reward obtained after completing this task.
