The beast pill cultivator had not expected that he would suddenly attack, and was completely unprepared. Moreover, he himself did not have much cultivation, and was entirely dependent on the contracted beast to do things for him. Therefore, after being hit by Zhang Sun Zijun, he felt as if all his internal organs were mixed together, and he was in so much pain that he could not speak.
The eldest grandson Zijun looked at Yi Xichen coldly, not wanting to bother with him any more, and signaled Yi Xichen to take Fei Ji and leave together.
Unexpectedly, the Beast Pill Cultivator refused to give up. He put his fingers to his mouth with trembling hands and blew out a hoarse whistle!
After a while, a giant silver wolf came out from the corner. It was ten feet long, majestic, with black eyes as cold as ice and a dark red mark between its eyebrows. Everyone felt the temperature around them drop instantly, their skin tingled, and the chill penetrated their bones.
The Ice Peak Giant Wolf is a very ferocious monster that only lives in the extremely cold Ice Valley in the north. It is rumored that its ancestors were fairy beasts from the Ice Valley, but after failing to ascend to heaven, they turned into monsters, becoming half fairy and half monster. The one in front of him has at least been cultivating for a hundred years, and he doesn't have any fairy spirit, but he is full of demonic spirit!
The beastman Dan Xiu screamed, "Lang Yue, kill them!"
The Ice Peak Giant Wolf pounced towards the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen without saying a word!
The eldest grandson Zijun frowned, protected Yi Xichen behind him, drew his sword and faced the Ice Peak Giant Wolf!
There was a loud noise, and the Ice Peak Giant Wolf's fangs bit into Chang Sun Zijun's Cangyun Sword. The sword was extremely powerful, and in just a moment it pierced his mouth and made it bleed. But he bit it tightly and refused to let go, grabbing Chang Sun Zijun's chest with his palm!
The eldest grandson Jun dodged to the side, and his sword energy surged. The Ice Wolf was ejected, and its jaw was almost broken. However, he only retreated a few steps, and then rushed forward again, opened his mouth and roared, and instantly thousands of icy rays shot towards the eldest grandson Jun!
This ferocious beast was extremely powerful. If it were an ordinary monster, it would have dared not approach after sensing the powerful sword energy of Changsun Zijun. However, the Ice Peak Giant Wolf was completely unaware of this and rushed up with all its might.
The eldest grandson Jun chopped all the ice ling into pieces with one sword, and the Ice Peak Giant Wolf rushed over again, its sharp claws shining with cold light, and went for the eldest grandson Jun's heart, but was repelled by his body-protecting sword energy, and the wolf's claws were bleeding. He rubbed his injured foot on the ground, as if nothing had happened, and jumped out again like lightning!
The eldest grandson, Zijun, knew that Yi Xichen was being controlled by the beastly alchemist and did not want to harm him, so he only defended himself and did not attack the Ice Peak Giant Wolf. He was also worried that the alchemist would attack Yi Xichen and Fei Ji during the chaos, and when he was distracted for a moment, the Ice Peak Giant Wolf's claws cut a hole in his sleeve.
The eldest grandson Jun felt a pang in his heart, and then he felt angry. Although this beast obeyed orders, the beast cultivator only gave him orders, but did not control its mind. Every move of killing was the beast's own ferocity. So the eldest grandson Jun no longer showed mercy, and silently chanted something. Ten thousand sword lights were released at the same time, and a golden sword prison was built, trapping the Ice Peak Giant Wolf!
Seeing that he was trapped, the Ice Peak Giant Wolf immediately rushed towards the sword cage, trying to break out of it. However, as soon as he moved, he was counterattacked by the sword energy and his body was bounced back!
The Ice Peak Giant Wolf was slightly startled, but without hesitation, it rushed towards the sword cage even harder! However, the harder it fought, the more severe the backlash it suffered. In a short while, it was covered with wounds from the weapons, and its long silver fur was stained with blood. The dark red mark between its eyebrows was stained with its own blood, and its shape could no longer be seen.
But even so, he did not stop for a moment. He stood up again after being knocked down. As long as he had the strength left, he kept crashing into the sword prison that trapped him! He no longer seemed to be attacking others, but rather seeking his own death!
Yi Xichen's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and he suddenly shouted, "Zijun!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, understood what he meant, and his murderous aura suddenly became stronger, but he did not rush to the Ice Peak Giant Wolf, but pointed his sword at the Beast Alchemy Cultivator! He was the one who controlled the Ice Peak Giant Wolf with a slave contract, and he was the culprit!
Unexpectedly, the alchemist was well prepared and had four monsters surround him. If they dared to attack him, he would let those monsters act as his shield!
The eldest grandson Jun's eyes darkened, and his murderous aura became even stronger. Although this person is not a demon cultivator, he is even more shameless than a demon cultivator. He has raised so many demon beasts, but he doesn't care about their lives at all. He treats them as dirt, just for his own selfishness! If this person stays in this world, it will be a disaster sooner or later!
The eldest grandson Jun had a murderous thought in his heart, and the sword energy around him became stronger, and the sword prison he had just built also increased in strength. The Ice Peak Giant Wolf rushed forward again, and blood spurted out of its mouth and nose, and it fell to the ground!
Seeing this, the eldest grandson Jun was extremely angry, but he quickly put away the sword. If the body of a cultivator is damaged, it can still be repaired, but the damage to the soul is difficult to reverse. The sword is extremely sharp, it hurts people and souls. If the Ice Peak Giant Wolf hits it a few more times, I'm afraid it will really be torn to pieces.
Once the sword lock disappeared, the already dying Ice Peak Giant Wolf began to struggle again.
His entire body was soaked in blood, his left eye was covered with blood, and he only had his right eye open. He glanced in the direction of the Beast Alchemist, and then cast a cold gaze at his eldest grandson Jun.
He struggled, and rocked his body to his feet, then knelt on all four knees, and then stood up on his hind legs and then on his front legs.
He finally stood up again, his body swaying. A white chill was seen emanating from his body, his soft and smooth hair turned cold and hard, his body shrank slightly, and his strong muscles became even more tense.
Many monks had already gathered around, and at this moment, there was a sound of people gasping for air all around.
Yi Xichen was surprised: "Is it crazy? Is it freezing its own body? Sealing itself?"
The Ice Peak Giant Wolf was too badly injured to move, so he simply froze all the injured parts, leaving only the parts that could move conscious. Monsters that know this kind of magic usually only use it when they are escaping, because self-sealing magic will cause irreversible damage, but this Ice Peak Giant Wolf sealed himself in order to continue attacking. Does he really not want to live? !
The eldest grandson, Zijun, was rarely so angry. He pointed the cold light of the long sword in his hand directly at the beastly alchemist and shouted: "Stop him!"
The beast alchemist had a complicated look in his eyes and bit his lips, refusing to say a word.
The eldest grandson Jun couldn't bear it any longer, so he flew out, avoiding the monsters that were forced to stand in front of his master, and stabbed the beast pill cultivator's skull with a sword!
Just as he was about to chop open the bastard's head, the Black Wind Dog suddenly jumped out and blocked his sword light!
He was startled and hastily retracted his attack. However, the sword energy he had released could not be taken back immediately. The Black Wind Dog was hit by the sword energy and flew backwards, with blood gushing out of its seven orifices!
The beast Dan Xiu was saved by the Black Wind Dog, but the Black Wind Dog hit him when it was thrown into the air, causing him to fall. Because the eldest grandson Jun collected his sword in time, the Black Wind Dog was seriously injured, but he was almost unharmed.
The eldest grandson Zijun's pupils shrank and he was filled with rage. The strong sword energy forced the people around him to retreat one after another!
The Black Wind Dog didn't block the sword voluntarily, but it was not easy for the Beast Master to control it in such an emergency. It was like being pulled over by a sudden and powerful force and blocked the master. This could only be because the Beast Master had expected this day to come and cast a spell on the monster in advance, and it was an extremely evil spell: the Death Substitution Spell!
The eldest grandson Jun held the sword tightly, and although he was extremely angry, he did not immediately attack. This man could use the death-substitution spell on one monster, or two, or even all of his monsters. Even if he could kill him with this sword, who knows how many monsters would be dragged down.
We must first find a way to break his evil magic!
At this moment, a wolf howled behind him.
The eldest grandson Zijun looked back and saw that the Ice Peak Giant Wolf, after sealing its bloodline, actually stumbled towards him again.
This Ice Peak Giant Wolf is too stupid. The eldest grandson Jun was angry, but also felt some pity. The slave contract would not make the Ice Peak Giant Wolf so careless about his life. He received the order, but how to complete the order was his own choice. He was no longer fighting, but seeking death.
At this moment, a sky-blue figure flashed out. His palm gently landed on the top of the Ice Peak Giant Wolf's head, and the frozen half of its body quickly melted. The Ice Peak Giant Wolf fell again, but was caught steadily by him.
When the eldest grandson Jun saw the man's face clearly, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised: this man turned out to be the casual cultivator who drank tea in the inn yesterday! That fleeting sense of familiarity once again surged into the eldest grandson Jun's heart. He vaguely caught something, but it was still hazy.
The Ice Peak Giant Wolf was still trying to struggle, but the man gently touched the red mark between his eyebrows as if to comfort him. A faint red light appeared around the Ice Peak Giant Wolf. After a moment, when the red light faded, the giant wolf had transformed into a human form, a tall, strong, handsome man with snow-white skin. There was still a red mark between his eyebrows, which was quite murderous. Unfortunately, he was lifeless. Whether he was handsome or murderous, he had no interest in life at all.
I only heard people around me shouting in surprise: "That man ran away!"
The beast alchemist saw that the situation was not good, and while his eldest grandson Zijun's attention was diverted, he ignored the seriously injured Ice Peak Giant Wolf and rode on a bird-beast to fly out!
However, as soon as he ran, several cultivators immediately chased him, and even a Jindan sword cultivator followed him. The actions of the beast cultivator just now had already annoyed those who claimed to be famous and righteous. If it weren't for the eldest grandson Zijun who had already taken action, they would not have intervened, otherwise they would have taken action long ago - not interfering in other people's duels is also an unwritten rule for sword cultivators - now that the beast cultivator withdrew from the battle, they finally had a chance. If they captured that person in the Evil Hua City where many experts gathered, they would be in the limelight!
The eldest grandson, Zijun, hesitated for a moment, but seeing that there were already many people chasing him, the alchemist might not be able to run far, so he gave up the chase and turned his attention to the blue-clothed cultivator. He had never seen the move that this person used to appease the Ice Peak Giant Wolf, which showed that although this person looked like a sword cultivator, he might be cultivating something else.
The casual cultivator had a gentle smile on his face the whole time. He heard the beast alchemist calling the Ice Peak Giant Wolf "Lang Yue" and said, "Little friend Lang, are you not afraid of death?"
"Dead?" Although Lang Yue had transformed into a human form, his dark eyes were still as cold as when he was in wolf form. He said in a cold voice, "If you die, you will become a ghost cultivator. Your soul is immortal and endless."
The casual cultivator asked, "So you choose to die with your soul torn apart?"
Lang Yue closed his eyes and said nothing. His desperate attack just now was not because he really wanted to fight his eldest grandson Zijun to the death, but because he really didn't want to die. It would be best if his soul was shattered as well.
The casual cultivator shook his head slightly: "When a person dies, as long as the soul is not extinguished, there is still a way to be reborn. Even if it is suffering, it will eventually pass. But if the soul is extinguished..." He said softly, "That would be difficult."
After hearing this, Yi Xichen's face turned pale and his body trembled slightly. His parents and his master were all burned to death by the Heavenly Fire. The most terrifying thing about the Heavenly Fire is that it directly burns the soul, not even leaving the living with a chance to communicate with the dead soul.
Suddenly, Yi Xichen felt warmth on his hand. He lowered his eyes and saw his eldest grandson Zijun holding his clenched fist and stroking it gently.
After a moment, Yi Xichen loosened his fist and held his eldest grandson Zijun's hand instead.
More and more people gathered around, and the masters of Ehua City gathered here. Naturally, they had already noticed that there was a fight here. At this time, all the real people and elders rushed over.
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard: "Who dares to cause trouble here?!" Gao Tianzhu and an elder walked into the crowd. The elder had sharp eyes, sparse eyebrows, a ruddy face, square eyebrows, and a sword-like brow. He stood out from the crowd and was obviously a Taoist master. He must be Gao Tianzhu's master, the elder of the Hongmeng Sect, Hong Yi Zhenren.
When the people around saw them coming, some were very excited, while others looked disdainful. The excited ones were naturally those who wanted to get in touch with the Hongmeng Sect, while the disdainful ones were the disciples and elders of other sects. The Hongmeng Sect was known as the number one immortal sect in the world, so naturally they loved to do things that were just and fair, and they stole a lot of limelight for nothing.
Immediately, people rushed over to explain to the master and disciple what had happened.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, had no interest in dealing with them and walked straight towards the wandering cultivator: "Excuse me, how should I address you, Senior?"
The wandering cultivator raised his eyes, his expression was kind but distant. He seemed to think for a moment before answering, "Xiao Li."
Surname Xiao? The eldest grandson Jun was slightly startled, and then suddenly realized! He finally understood why he felt familiar with Xiao Li when he first saw him yesterday! Because he felt that Xiao Li and Xiao Kui were somewhat similar! If you look closely, you can't tell where their looks are similar. As for temperament, they are also worlds apart. Xiao Li is gentle and elegant, while Xiao Kui is impetuous and arrogant. But it was just a look or action at a certain moment that made the eldest grandson Jun feel that he and Xiao Kui were very similar.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, asked again: "Are you a casual cultivator?"
"yes."
The eldest grandson, Jun, was speechless for a moment. He was still hiding his real name, and he couldn't ask the other party directly if he knew Xiao Kui. It would be troublesome if his identity was exposed. Besides, it didn't matter if the other party was related to Xiao Kui. He just thought the two were similar, so he was a little strange.
Yi Xichen followed, but his mind was not on Xiao Li. He squatted beside the wounded Lang Yue and said, "Hey, Big Wolf, are you okay?"
Lang Yue did not answer him. The beast cultivator had already left, and he stopped attacking Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun. Instead, he slowly stood up, dragged his seriously injured body and leaned against the wall to walk in the direction where the beast cultivator had just left. He was indentured, and even if the cultivator abandoned him at the critical moment, the contract would not be cancelled, and he could not get rid of it.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, whispered behind him: "You are about to become possessed."
The Ice Peak Giant Wolf was supposed to be half fairy and half demon, but now, Lang Yue was half demon and half devil. Just now, the eldest grandson Jun considered whether to kill Lang Yue. Once he completely fell into the devil's way, it would be a disaster. But he thought that he must have been controlled by the beast pill cultivator, and his mentality had changed drastically, so he was not completely hopeless, so he still kept a trick.
Lang Yue paused for a moment, but still did not respond and continued to move forward. However, he had only taken two steps when he was stopped by Gao Tianzhu.
Gao Tianzhu looked at him unkindly: "Are you the Ice Peak Giant Wolf that caused trouble just now? Where is your master?"
Lang Yue seemed to be deaf and dumb. He didn't even look at him, but lowered his head and tried to avoid him.
Gao Tianzhu was ignored and immediately got angry again. He shouted, "I'm asking you a question!"
"Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Gao?" Yi Xichen actually spoke up to help Lang Yue out. "He's not here. He ran away."
Gao Tianzhu glared at him unhappily. He knew that the beastly alchemist had already run away, and what he wanted to ask was whether Lang Yue knew where the alchemist's lair was.
Yi Xichen guessed his thoughts and stroked his chin, saying, "Senior Brother Gao is probably wondering if that bastard has a fixed place to stay. But if I were that bastard, and the monster I had a contract with was caught by someone else, I would definitely not dare to go to a place where I could be found."
Just as Gao Tianzhu was about to speak, Yi Xichen said, "With a slave bond in hand, that bastard will summon the Big Wolf sooner or later? However, the bond-maker can invade the bonded person's sea of consciousness. If the Big Wolf wants to bring people to capture him, he will definitely know and will naturally run away as soon as possible."
Yi Xichen had finished talking, Gao Tianzhu was so angry that he glared. But what he said made sense. Gao Tianzhu really wanted to ask this question, and Lang Yue really couldn't help them find the beast pill cultivator. It would be better to rely on the sword cultivators who just chased out to catch the man than on Lang Yue.
But Gao Tianzhu was interrupted and was very unhappy. He shouted, "I'm asking him, why are you butting in? What's your relationship with him?"
At this moment, thanks to Yi Xichen's help, Lang Yue had already walked out of a short path by leaning against the wall, but no one stopped him. People generally had sympathy for the indentured monsters, and rarely pursued them even if they had done something, after all, they were just puppets controlled by others.
Yi Xichen said, "Brother Gao, what do you think I have to do with him? If he were my friend and someone had made such a vicious contract, I would have skinned that man alive long ago! I just thought that if Big Wolf thought we could help, he would ask for it himself." He shouted at Lang Yue's back, "Isn't that right, Big Wolf?"
Lang Yue's back paused slightly, but he still walked away without looking back.
Yi Xichen was speechless. The spiritual contract was very overbearing. It required both parties' willingness to make it and to cancel it. No matter how high one's cultivation level was, it could not be forcibly cancelled. Moreover, once it was made, it bound the soul. As long as the soul was immortal, the spiritual contract would not be destroyed. Those monsters were either deceived or coerced. Anyway, once they boarded the pirate ship of the beast Dan Xiu, it was very difficult for them to get off. Yi Xichen had no good way to help Lang Yue cancel the spiritual contract. If the other party was willing to sit down and tell him the whole story, he might be able to help think of a solution. But if the other party was unwilling, he could not force him.
"Grind his bones and spread his ashes?" Gao Tianzhu sneered, "What a big tone you have. Where is the person? Didn't he run away? You are sword cultivators, but you can't even catch an alchemy cultivator!"
"Brother Gao, you didn't see it just now." Immediately, a person who had been watching the whole process pointed at the eldest grandson Zijun and said, "This fellow Taoist is extremely powerful. The Ice Peak Giant Wolf was injured by him. He almost killed the beast-like alchemist. Unfortunately, the alchemist was too shameless and actually used the monster to die in his place! Several fellow Taoists have already chased him. The man can't get far!"
Gao Tianzhu glared at the talkative person and said, "Who is your senior brother? Stop talking so much!"
This was pure picking on someone. Senior Brother and Senior Sister were just a respectful title for the same-age disciples, and had little to do with the sect. However, as the eldest disciple of the world's number one sect, Gao Tianzhu was also proud of his status, so he felt that being called Senior Brother by an unknown casual cultivator was not only not respectful, but also a blasphemy.
And that talkative person had hit the spot that annoyed him the most. The Ice Peak Giant Wolf was an extremely powerful beast. Although the situation just now was almost one-sided and the Giant Wolf had been beaten to death, it was because the eldest grandson Jun was even more powerful. If it was Gao Tianzhu who was standing here just now, let alone beating the Ice Peak Giant Wolf into this state, he would not even have the confidence to win.
Yi Xichen laughed but just shook his head, not wanting to argue with him.
The beast elixir cultivator had already fled, Lang Yue had also left, and the sword cultivators who had gone out to pursue him had not yet returned. Seeing that the matter here had come to an end, Xiao Li turned around and left silently.
When the eldest grandson Zijun saw Xiao leave, he had no intention of joining in the fun anymore, so he walked up to Yi Xichen and was about to leave.
Gao Tianzhu was still adamant: "Stop! The matter has not been investigated yet, where are you going? It is abominable that the man practices evil magic, but why did he come into conflict with you?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, gave him a cold look and didn't even bother to pay attention to him. Just as he was about to walk away, he heard the voice of an elder in the crowd: "Tianzhu, how can you talk like that? Come back!"
When Gao Tianzhu heard the voice, his momentum immediately weakened, and he walked back dejectedly. The crowd dispersed, and Master Hong Yi, who had been surrounded by people before, finally appeared in front of the two.
The Master Hong Yi had a profound cultivation and was an elder of the Hongmeng Sect. He was highly respected in the cultivation world. When he first appeared, he was surrounded by admirers, so they didn't rush in to join in the fun. At this moment, the crowd had dispersed, and Yi Xichen hurriedly greeted him and said, "Disciple has met Master Hong Yi."
Master Hong Yi's eyes swept over him without stopping, and then he turned his eyes to his eldest grandson, Zijun. Suddenly, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, frowned. He only knew Xiao Li by sight, but this Master Hong Yi was truly an old friend.
Master Hong Yi said, "You look a lot like an old friend of mine. What's your name?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, pursed his lips and said, "Invincible."
"Invincible?" Taoist Master Hong Yi was stunned. "Is this your Taoist name?" The so-called Taoist name is the honorific name of a cultivator. However, only when one's cultivation reaches a certain level will one abandon his or her secular name and take a Taoist name. Sometimes one gives it by oneself, and sometimes it is given by the master when one becomes a disciple.
The eldest grandson Zijun did not respond to this conversation. He just said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave." Then he pulled Yi Xichen and was about to leave.
Yi Xichen asked through telepathy: "Do you know Master Hong Yi?"
Before the eldest grandson Zijun could answer, he heard Master Hong Yi calling out from behind, "Young friend, eldest grandson!"
The eldest grandson Jun paused.
Just now, Master Hong Yi seemed unsure whether he had recognized the wrong person, but now he was sure. He ignored Master Hong Yi's airs and walked up to him quickly, asking a series of questions: "Young friend Changsun, why are you not in the Tianjian Sect? Where is your sister?"
Yi Xichen was slightly surprised, and his eldest grandson Zijun was upset and silent.
There was total silence all around. At first, people were surprised that Master Hong Yi would take the initiative to get close to a young disciple. But after a moment, someone suddenly came to their senses and exclaimed, "Changsun? Tianjian Sect? Wasn't there a Changsun among the two disciples who killed their master and escaped from Tianjian Sect a month ago?" "The two people named on the wanted order issued by Tianjian Sect, could they be them!"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson, Zijun, and the situation immediately became tense. If they were really the evildoers who killed their master, they must not be allowed to escape!
Even Xiao Li, who had not walked far yet, stopped and looked over here.
"So you are the eldest grandson, Zijun!" Suddenly, Gao Tianzhu drew his sword, flew towards him, and shouted angrily, "You evil disciple who killed my master, I will kill you!"
