Chapter 102: Battle of the Sky (Part 2) Commanding the Red Fire Clan...
Yin Yue, who was commanding the Red Fire Clan, shook his head helplessly. Why did His Majesty like to tease these ants so much?
Qiong Cang suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "You have indeed surprised me, but I have had enough fun."
Then, with a stern brow and a deep gaze, he formed seals with his hands, and a red sickle slowly appeared from the void, accompanied by a strong aura of death.
With the appearance of the sickle, the entire Kyushu continent was in turmoil, with thunder rumbling, as if the end of the world had come.
Qiong Cang spun around and raised his hand, and a sharp cold blade shot out from the air as the sickle passed by, and came straight towards the two of them accompanied by lightning.
Li Youyang fixed his eyes, and his sword finger moved quickly. With a phoenix cry, the fairy sword in his hand turned into a phoenix and soared into the sky towards the cold blade. In an instant, the cold blade disappeared.
Killing intent flashed across Qiong Cang's eyes. He formed seals with his hands and spun around to grab the sickle. In an instant, the sickle turned into a giant red python that wrapped around the phoenix. The phoenix struggled and turned into ashes.
Fu Guangjun clenched his fists tightly. "It's not the sword at all. It's the cultivation method Qiong Cang practices that is a destructive spiritual weapon."
After the illusion dissipated, Qiong Cang, holding his sickle, looked at Li Youyang and said, "Despair."
Li Youyang said nonchalantly, "It's just a magical sword. If you're so happy about it, I'll give you more."
After he finished speaking, his sword fingers moved quickly, and in an instant, tens of thousands of immortal swords appeared in the void, with various attributes and qualities.
Qiong Cang sneered, "Trying to win by numbers is ridiculous. No matter how many there are, the result will be the same."
Then the sword finger moved quickly, and the sickle was sent out. A clanging sound was heard in the void, and in a few breaths, thousands of immortal swords turned into nothingness.
Qiongcang raised his hand to recall his sickle, looked at Li Youyang and the others, and a hint of contempt appeared on the corner of his lips. But the next moment, tens of thousands of immortal swords attacked again... After several times of this, Bei Liyuan teased, "Qiongcang, are you tired?"
Qiong Cang sneered: "You are not much better than me in controlling so many immortal swords at the same time."
Bei Liyuan folded his arms and looked at the puppet beside him: "It's not us who are controlling these, but it. As for the spiritual energy, it has been injected into the puppet a long time ago."
"The spiritual energy has long been used up..."
Bei Liyuan interrupted: "It will probably keep you entertained for a whole day. And you don't have to bother destroying it. It's just an illusion, and the real thing has already been hidden."
An hour later, Qiong Cang became angry and said, "What good will it do if you hold me back for another day? The outcome will still be the same. Instead of struggling to the death, it's better to admit defeat and surrender. You can still save your life."
Bei Liyuan smiled and said, "It is a pleasure to tease you while I am dying."
As he was speaking, another wave of immortal swords attacked. Qiong Cang gripped the sickle tightly, turned around, stepped forward, rushed up to the sky, and swung the sickle.
clank!
Countless broken swords fell, and the next wave followed closely. Qiong Cang waved his sickle impatiently, and the next moment he felt a chill on his neck, and a broken sword was pressed against his throat.
Qiong Cang was stunned. When?
Li Youyang said coldly, "First time."
"What first time?"
While Qiong Cang was puzzled, the broken sword automatically retreated to the side of Li Youyang and transformed back to its original form. He curled his lips and said, "I can kill you for the first time."
Jiuying was anxious: "Such a good opportunity, why not kill him?"
Fu Guangjun clenched his fists and looked at the two of them nervously.
Bei Liyuan flashed high into the sky: "The next one is the second one."
He then summoned the God-Slaying Seal and sent it out, reciting the mantra quickly. The God-Slaying Seal instantly turned into the size of a mountain and smashed towards Qiong Cang. Qiong Cang was shocked when he saw the God-Slaying Seal and hurriedly retreated on his sword. However, as soon as he moved, he was pulled into a space and had no escape. The God-Slaying Seal was still falling. Qiong Cang held the sickle and waved it wildly, trying to break the space, but it was useless. When he saw that the God-Slaying Seal was about to hit him, it suddenly stopped.
Bei Liyuan raised his hand to take back the God-Slaying Seal, Li Youyang moved his sword slightly, and the space disappeared.
The two of them simultaneously disappeared into thin air, looking down from above: "This is the third time."
The two men summoned their magic swords at the same time, their sword fingers moved quickly, and they worked in perfect harmony as if they were one person. Then, they merged into the magic swords and slashed towards the sky with the power of thunder. The sky sent out a sickle, quickly formed a seal and flew to meet it. The moment the weapons clashed, a loud bang resounded through the sky, and the Kyushu continent trembled violently. Then, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the mountains and rivers turned upside down.
Everyone was shocked: "If this continues, the Jiuzhou Continent will probably return to its original state!"
All cultivators, demons, monsters and even the Red Fire Clan released their spiritual energy to stabilize the mountains and rivers.
After three breaths, there was a loud noise, the sickle in Qiongcang's hand shattered, and he fell to the ground with serious injuries and vomiting blood. The two men turned back to their original forms, standing in the void with fairy swords in their hands.
Li Youyang said coldly, "I'm not killing you just to avoid trouble, not because I can't kill you. Take the Red Fire Clan away from the Jiuzhou Continent within three hours, otherwise, no one from the Red Fire Clan will be left alive."
After saying that, he turned around side by side with Bei Liyuan.
All the cultivators in Jiuzhou Continent finally reacted and cheered:
"We won, we won."
"They didn't just win, they crushed us. They were so strong! How could they be this strong?"
Qiong Cang looked at the two people leaving, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. If it were them, they would definitely be able to do it.
Then everyone present was shocked. Qiong Cang suddenly flashed to Li Youyang's side, grabbed his magic sword and stabbed it into his chest. At the same time, a red cloud pattern gradually appeared between Li Youyang's eyebrows.
Yin Yue had already reached Qiong Cang's side, and Qiong Cang said weakly, "From now on, he will be your leader."
Li Youyang frowned, and Qiongcang looked at him and smiled. "I will transfer the seal of the leader of the Sin Clan to you. You must be killed or wiped out. The Sin Clan was originally the second most powerful branch of the Red Fire Clan, but they were framed by other branches and made a serious mistake. Since then, they have become the Sin Clan, trampled upon by others. For so many years, I have been unable to change the current situation of the Sin Clan, but you may be able to do it. In half a year, there will be a re-ranking within the Red Fire Clan. Even if you don't enter the Great Thousand World, they will come to find you. By then, the Jiuzhou Continent will be destroyed. You certainly don't want to see Jiuzhou destroyed. I lost this battle, but I won hope for the Sin Clan. I die without regrets."
Li Youyang's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river).
"Silver Moon."
Yin Yue knelt down and said, "I understand."
The sky closed its eyes and then dissipated.
Yin Yue led all the Chihuo people to kneel before Li Youyang: "Subordinates are here to see the Lord."
Li Youyang's face was as black as ink.
Yin Yue asked again: "My Lord, are you going back to the universe now?"
Li Youyang didn't answer, so everyone kept kneeling.
After a long while, Li Youyang said coldly, "You guys go back first."
Yin Yue took out a token and said, "This is the gate back to the Great Thousand World. It will take at most six months. If the Lord does not return in time, the other branches of the Red Fire Clan will come looking for you, because the presence of the leaders of all branches is required to open the secret training realm."
Bei Liyuan hummed coldly.
Afterwards, Yin Yue led all the Chihuo people to open the boundary gate and leave the Jiuzhou continent.
Just three months after the Red Fire Tribe's calamity, Jiuzhou had returned to its former state. Bei Liyuan returned to the house carrying two baskets of vegetables, a basket of eggs, two pieces of meat, and two fish, looking helpless. "After the battle with the Red Fire Tribe, we became famous. Everyone knows us. We always try to be low-key when we go out, but they still show such enthusiasm. If I want to retire in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to find a deserted place deep in the mountains and old forests."
Li Youyang looked out the window with a dark face and did not say anything.
After putting his things away, Bei Liyuan walked over to Li Youyang and gently hugged him: "Are you still worried about the Red Fire Clan?"
Li Youyang hummed.
Bei Liyuan said softly, "Actually, if you think about it from another angle, there's nothing wrong with traveling to what they call the superior world. You might find some unexpected surprises."
Li Youyang sighed, "I originally thought I could retire peacefully, but something unexpected happened..."
Bei Liyuan lowered his head and gently kissed Li Youyang on the lips, saying softly, "Now that we are famous, it's really not easy for us to retire. We can't really find a deep mountain forest to hide in. It will take a while to travel to the world. By the time we come back, they will have almost forgotten everything, so it's just the right time to retire."
Seeing that Li Youyang was still in a bad mood, Bei Liyuan suddenly picked him up by the waist and said, "My disciple found a very interesting place today. Let's go and take a look."
Before Li Youyang could react, Bei Liyuan had already carried him out of the room.
"Put me down, I'll walk on my own."
Bei Liyuan hummed, but had no intention of letting go of Li Youyang. The two of them went to the street like this. Li Youyang's ears turned red instantly, and he buried his head in Bei Liyuan's chest. Bei Liyuan curled his lips.
"Look, how loving our benefactor is!"
"Yes, I'm really happy for them."
"You, learn from others. Since I married you, you have never hugged me like this."
"I want to hug you, but I'm powerless!"
…
Li Youyang felt more and more embarrassed as he listened to everyone's discussions: "Li Yuan, please put me down."
Bei Liyuan just agreed but did nothing.
After walking through the streets and alleys, Bei Liyuan stopped at a bookstore with Li Youyang in his arms and put him down carefully.
Li Youyang was puzzled: "Bookstore? Interesting?"
Bei Liyuan nodded, took Li Youyang's hand and walked in. When he saw Jiuying busy at work, Li Youyang understood what Bei Liyuan meant by "interesting".
Jiuying looked up and saw the two of them. He laughed awkwardly twice and said, "Well, sit wherever you want."
Li Youyang said coldly, "Why did you think of opening a bookstore? I remember you hated reading the most, didn't you?"
Jiuying looked around and said something else: "You came all this way here, aren't you tired? Are you thirsty? Would you like some tea?"
Li Youyang: ...
Bei Liyuan curled his lips and whispered, "Jiuying lost a bet with Fu Guangjun. The bet was to sell 10,000 books and not look for acquaintances."
Li Youyang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "This is tantamount to imprisoning Jiuying here for life."
Bei Liyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Li Youyang smile: "That's right."
Li Youyang asked suspiciously, "Why would Jiuying bet so much?"
Bei Liyuan curled his lips and said, "Because Fu Guangjun's bet is even bigger, if Fu Guangjun loses, he will run naked around Fu Guang Mountain for three months."
Li Youyang: ...
"Why is it so?"
Bei Liyuan chuckled, "I was the one who initiated this. When they were arguing, a few words angered them, and then they made this bet."
Li Youyang didn't know what to say for a moment. From what he knew, Fu Guangjun and Jiuying would never make such a cruel bet with just a few meaningless words. The scene at that time must have been very lively.
Thinking of how furious the two were at that time, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. This guy in his family was also a bit mean.
"I can't believe you've actually managed to open a bookstore properly. But how many books have you sold in such a long time?"
Fu Guangjun arrived as the voice sounded, and Medicine Saint followed behind.
Jiuying snorted, "How many copies I sell is none of your business."
Fu Guangjun walked over to sit next to Li Youyang and said, "I thought I had nothing else to do, so I discussed it with Yao Chi and decided to go to the Great Thousand World with you. Maybe I can help."
Bei Liyuan casually picked up the teacup and said, "That's not necessary. I know exactly what you're thinking."
Fu Guangjun ignored him and looked at Li Youyang solemnly, waiting for an answer. Li Youyang said coldly, "The situation in the world is unknown. Let's listen to what Qiongcang said before his death. The branch of the Sin Clan is not in a good situation. I don't want to take you into danger."
Fu Guangjun understood and smiled: "No problem, in the near future I will help Yao Chi to make more pills that you may need. You can't refuse this anymore."
Li Youyang nodded: "Thank you."
Fu Guangjun's eyes darkened, and he became polite and distant. He couldn't go back to the way he was before, neither to me nor to Yao Chi.
The Medicine Saint silently clenched his fists and said, "Before you leave, please tell us that we are here to see you off."
Li Youyang agreed, then looked at Bei Liyuan: "It's been a while since we came out, let's go home."
Bei Liyuan stood up, held hands with Li Youyang and left the bookstore.
Fu Guangjun stared at the backs of the two people holding hands in a daze.
The Medicine Saint sighed.
Jiuying frowned. "My bookstore has just opened. Stop whining and grumbling like that. It's bad luck, Fuguang-jun. Why couldn't you be like you, dithering like a woman before? Either you let it go immediately, or you shamelessly snatch it away. Now you're stuck like this, what's wrong with you?"
After saying that, he looked at the Medicine Saint again: "You too, there's obviously no possibility for him and Li Youyang. Since you have feelings for him, why are you so timid and do nothing? How can you know if it won't work if you don't try? He may not like you now, but people's hearts are not dead. How do you know he won't in the future?"
The Medicine Saint sighed. When Li Youyang died for the first time, he knew that there would be no ending for the two of them. But the rest of his life was long, and he no longer sought a result. He was content as long as he could always be by Li Youyang's side.
Just as he was thinking, Fu Guangjun suddenly rushed out and blocked Li Youyang's way. Bei Liyuan frowned and was about to take a step forward to separate the two, but Fu Guangjun suddenly grabbed Li Youyang's wrist and pulled him into his arms, hugging him tightly: "Youyang, I love you and it will never change in this life. I will always be here waiting for you. If he treats you badly, just come back and find me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bei Liyuan forcibly dragged him away and kicked him away. He did this in front of him. Did he really think he was a decoration?
Li Youyang finally reacted: "I don't have any other feelings for him, even if one day you get tired of him... well..."
After the kiss, Bei Liyuan said solemnly: "This day will never come."
Li Youyang smiled and said, "Yeah."
"I'm really impressed by you guys. It's been so long, and you're still so annoying."
Yuchen and Lingye came over.
With Fu Guangjun in front, Bei Liyuan was particularly wary of Yu Chen.
Yu Chen smiled helplessly and handed the invitation to the two of them. "Ling Ye and I are planning to become Taoist couples. The ceremony will be held in half a month. I know you're leaving soon, so I've specially brought it forward a year. You must be there."
The two of them quickly took it and said, "Congratulations, we will definitely be there."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gate opened in the void, and Yin Yue came flying in on a sword: "Your Majesty, the secret realm will be opened in three months. I have come to take you back."
Li Youyang frowned: "Isn't it three months later?"
Yin Yue said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the secret realm will indeed be opened in three months, but there are many things that need to be decided before that, and it would be better for Your Majesty to familiarize yourself with the situation within the clan beforehand."
Li Youyang said coldly, "All matters are left to you to decide. As for the aristocratic families, it won't take that long to familiarize themselves with the situation. I will return on time."
Yin Yue seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, finally bowed respectfully and left.
Li Youyang thought that after this time he would be able to leave quietly until he could go to the Great Thousand World, but Yin Yue came to urge him every few days, and the urging became more and more frequent as time went on.
Li Youyang had just finished attending Ling Ye and Yu Chen's Taoist couple ceremony and was about to start eating when Yin Yue came to urge him to leave. Li Youyang was completely annoyed: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! You're pushing me to death! Didn't you say you'd leave in a month?"
Yin Yue was slightly stunned. In his impression, Li Youyang had always been calm and cold. This was the first time he saw him like this. He inexplicably found him cute.
The originally lively banquet suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked over.
Li Youyang held his forehead and turned his head to look aside. It was the first time in his life that he got angry, and he lost his composure in front of so many people. It was a bit embarrassing.
Bei Liyuan looked at Li Youyang with an obsessed look on his face. He was so cute, how could he be so cute!
After coming back to his senses, Yin Yue said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the situation of the Sin Clan is truly grim. We urgently need you to return and take charge of the situation."
Li Youyang was silent. He really didn't want to say a word now.
Bei Liyuan looked at Yin Yue and said, "Master and I will be there in five days. If you keep urging us, we will delay."
Yin Yue bowed and left.
Only then did everyone return to their previous lively mood.
…
The day before Li Youyang and his companions left, Medicine Saint sent them various elixirs, Fu Guangjun also sent them various spiritual treasures, Ling Ye and Yu Chen also sent them spiritual treasures, spiritual medicines, and spiritual materials, as well as Jiuying, Zhu Yan, Lie Wushuang, Nan Dazhuang, etc., and finally filled up five large-space storage rings.
At night, Nangong Liuchu hurried over and gave the two of them two storage rings: "I've scraped together 200 million spirit stones from here and there. I don't know what the world uses, but they are all immortal cultivators, so I guess I can't find out much."
Bei Liyuan smiled and said, "Senior brother is still the most down-to-earth."
Nangong Liuchu scratched his head: "The main reason is that I don't have any magical treasures that I can show off."
Bei Liyuan thanked him and said, "After my master and I leave, I'll have to trouble you to look after the Bei family for me."
Nangong Liuchu nodded. "You and Master are the saviors of the Jiuzhou Continent. All the major families have nothing but respect for the Bei family. Don't worry, there won't be any trouble. If you need anything, you can send someone over at any time. We will be sure to prepare it for you."
"good."
"You will be traveling far away tomorrow, so rest early tonight and I won't disturb you."
"Well, I'll take you there, Senior Brother."
In the Great Thousand World, at the Red Fire Clan's banquet, a member of the Sin Clan was serving drinks when he was suddenly bumped by someone nearby, spilling wine on his shoes. The Sin Clan member hurriedly knelt down. A vicious flash of malice flashed in the man's eyes. He said softly, "These shoes of mine are made of special spiritual materials. They cost ten thousand spirit stones to buy a pair. Judging from your condition, you can't afford to pay for them. I don't want to embarrass you. Just lick the wine stains off these shoes."
The criminal clenched his fist silently.
The man curled his lips: "Why, you don't want to?"
Yin Yue stepped forward and blocked the man's way. "I saw clearly just now that the wine spilled because you, Elder Chiyang, suddenly bumped into him. He didn't do it on purpose. Why are you making things so difficult for him?"
Chi Yang smiled. "I'm going my own way. He was a criminal slave, but he didn't see what was happening when he was bumped into. That was his fault. I didn't hold him accountable for the collision. I just let him lick the wine stains off his shoes, which was a special favor."
Yin Yue clenched her fists. Chi Yang leaned closer and whispered in her ear with a smile, "It's been the same program every year. Qiong Cang has gotten used to it. Now that he's gone, why bother yourself with boredom? I still say the same thing. If you wish, my Yang Pulse will always open its doors to you, and you will still hold the position of Elder."
Yin Yue said coldly: "I will never betray Yuemai."
Chi Yang sighed: "What a pity."
Then he looked at the kneeling slave and said, "Why are you still standing there? Lick it."
The criminal slave slowly lay on the ground, Chi Yang had a smile on his face, and the others also looked over here with great interest. At this moment, Chi Yang suddenly howled miserably, and then a magic sword was seen stuck in his wine-stained foot.
Everyone was shocked.
Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan entered, and Yin Yue, overjoyed, hurried forward and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty."
Li Youyang nodded slightly, raised his hand, and the magic sword returned.
After Chi Yang healed his wounds briefly, he raised his palm and attacked the two men. Li Youyang's eyes darkened slightly, and he used a formation to imprison Chi Yang. He said coldly, "Retreat."
Chi Yang was actually shocked back.
Everyone was stunned again:
"There's a red fire cloud pattern on this man's forehead. He should be the next leader of the Sin Clan that Qiong Cang is looking for. But where did he find someone with such cultivation and strength?"
"Chi Yang originally relied on his family background to become an elder in the Yang Clan. His cultivation is just so-so. If Yin Yue wanted to attack him, he would not survive. As for these two, they probably just arrived and don't understand the situation within the Chihuo Clan, so they acted rashly. However, they may not be able to bear the consequences."
"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger! Today we are going to have a good show."
Li Youyang looked at Yin Yue, who understood and stepped forward to help the criminal slave up: "There is nothing for you to do here, please leave."
Before leaving, the criminal slave bowed to Li Youyang with gratitude in his eyes, and Li Youyang nodded slightly in response.
Yin Yue said with some concern: "Your Majesty, behind Chi Yang..."
Li Youyang raised his hand to interrupt, and Yin Yue took a step back and stood respectfully beside Li Youyang.
"Elder Chiyang, you can't just let it go like this. Who in our Chihuo Clan would dare to fight you? You've actually been tricked by the Sin Clan. If you don't fight back, where will you put your dignity in the future?"
"That's right, Elder Chiyang is someone who cannot tolerate such humiliation."
Chi Yang looked at Li Youyang with cold eyes. He had realized from their previous fight that his cultivation was far inferior to his opponent's. But if he just let it go, where would he put his face? Because of the forces behind him, he had often done such things in previous years, and Qiong Cang could only bear it. Now, two fools came and dared to fight with him, making him lose face.
When they were in a dilemma, Chi Jun walked in and everyone stood up and bowed.
