Under everyone's gaze, Yi Bailie's appearance aged rapidly, and in no time he became unrecognizable, his wrinkled skin making people feel disgusted. Meanwhile, Li Daoyi held a green ball of light in his hand, which was his five hundred years of lifespan.
"Heh heh..." Yi Bailie made a hoarse sound in his throat, his eyes filled with fear of Li Daoyi. For him, who had lived for a thousand years, losing five hundred years of lifespan was fatal. He didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Yi Bailie fell from the sky like a dead bird, crashing heavily to the ground, as if striking the hearts of everyone present.
People looked at Li Daoyi in the sky and couldn't help but swallow hard. A martial saint, and not just any ordinary martial saint, had been killed in such a short time. For a moment, everyone felt like they were in a dream.
"Brother Daoyi." Mengmeng blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at Li Daoyi longingly.
"Here you go." Li Daoyi reluctantly tossed the Life Energy Ball to Mengmeng.
"Aww..." The little girl happily swallowed it in one gulp.
"It's delicious."
The two then fell from the sky, and the other winged people also fell down, lying motionless on the ground, their fate unknown.
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Empress Linglong quickly stepped forward and said.
"Linglong, who is this?" Xueyun walked to Linglong's side and asked in a low voice.
"Elder, this is Zhuzhu's master, Li Daoyi."
"Xueyun, the guardian elder of the Xuan Nu Holy Land, greets Your Excellency."
"Sword God Sect's Jian Yang greets Your Excellency."
"Huo Lie of the Blazing Fire Sect greets Your Excellency."
"Li Tianyu of Tianyi Sect greets Your Excellency."
"..."
Several emperors around immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.
"You are all very good, I admire you." Li Daoyi nodded to everyone. He greatly appreciated that everyone still chose to protect Zhuzhu in that situation. This is what the human race should be like.
"No, it's all thanks to Your Excellency. We didn't help at all," Jianyang quickly replied.
“Sometimes the process is more important than the result. I have seen everything you have done, so there is no need to be modest,” Li Daoyi said slowly.
"Yes, thank you, Your Excellency."
"Linglong, remove the wings from these birdmen and hang their corpses at the gate of Zhuxing City. I want to see what the winged people can do now," Li Daoyi said to the Empress.
"Black One!" the Empress shouted immediately.
"Whoosh..."
Black One's figure appeared instantly.
"You heard everything?"
"I'll take care of it right away."
Before long, ten pairs of blood-soaked wings were placed in front of Li Daoyi. The worst off were Yi Ming and the others, who had their wings torn off and died screaming in agony. The tragic fate of these dignified Martial Emperors sent a chill down the spines of the other human Martial Emperors. Their powerful master, Zhu Zhu, was not to be trifled with.
"Giggle giggle..." Mengmeng ran around the wings happily, very happy. The quality of these wings was much better than the ones she had in Zhushan.
"Someone's coming." At this moment, Li Daoyi looked into the distance.
Two powerful auras were flying toward Zhuxing City at an extremely fast speed, one of which contained overwhelming sword intent.
"Yi Bailie, you are incredibly audacious."
Before the person even arrived, a voice had already come over.
"Sect Master." Jian Yang's face immediately lit up with joy.
"Linglong, the sect leader has arrived," Xueyun hurriedly told the Empress.
The sky suddenly changed color, and the two men's aura made the entire sky seem murderous.
"Whoosh..."
Soon, the two figures stopped in the air above the palace at the same time.
A man and a woman. The man was dressed similarly to Jian Yang, with a sword on his back. He looked to be around forty years old, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Powerful sword energy swirled around him, as if he were about to tear everything apart at any moment.
The woman was dressed in white, with a veil over her face, but she had a graceful figure and elegant demeanor. There was a plum blossom-shaped red dot on her forehead, and her murderous intent was faint, indicating that she was still in a state of great anger.
"Um?"
The two looked down and first saw several corpses and neatly arranged winged human wings. Then they looked at the crowd and soon saw Empress Linglong.
"This..." The two looked at each other with some suspicion.
"Sect Master!" Jianyang and Xueyun called out simultaneously.
The two then fell from the sky.
"What exactly happened? Where is Yi Bailie?" Sword Saint asked.
"Ahem... Sect Master, the one on the ground next to you is him." Jian Yi pointed to the old corpse on the ground and said.
"What?" Sword Saint was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked to the side.
"Is he Yi Bailie?" Even the Martial Saint Xuan Nu found it hard to believe.
"Whoosh..."
Sword Saint grabbed at the ground, and Yi Bailie's corpse instantly flew into his hand. He tore open Yi Bailie's clothes and found a wound on his chest, which looked like a sword wound.
“It really is this guy,” the Sword Saint said. The wounds on the corpse were inflicted by him three hundred years ago.
"Alright, I won't disturb your reminiscing any longer. Dongfang Long'er, Dan Chenzi, let's go back." After saying that, Li Daoyi picked up Mengmeng and turned to fly towards the palace.
"My wings".
Mengmeng also pointed to the wings on the ground.
With a wave of his hand, Li Dao sent ten pairs of wings flying to Dan Chenzi, who immediately embraced them and then flapped his wings to fly towards the palace.
"..." The two martial saints watched the group leave, puzzled.
"Did he do it?" asked the Mysterious Maiden Martial Saint.
“Yes, that’s Zhuzhu’s master. He’s the one who killed Yi Bailie and the others,” Xueyun hurriedly said.
"Zhu Zhu..." Sect Master Xuan Nu couldn't help but look at Zhu Zhu.
"Zhuzhu, quickly pay your respects to your Grandmaster and the Sword Saint."
"Zhuzhu greets Grandmaster and Senior Sword Saint," Zhuzhu said obediently.
"Good boy, good boy."
"Huh, you...you can actually cultivate now." The Mystic Maiden Martial Saint suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
She had met Zhuzhu ten years ago and personally determined that Zhuzhu could not cultivate. Now, she saw that Zhuzhu had already become a Martial Grandmaster.
“It was Master who healed me,” Zhu Zhu said.
"It's unbelievable that the Heavenly Vein can be cultivated. Linglong, who exactly was that person? Could he be a powerful figure from another race?" Sword Martial Saint couldn't help but ask.
"Reporting to Senior, Zhu Zhu's master is not of a different race, but a genuine human," Empress Linglong quickly replied.
"When did our human race produce such a powerful expert?" the two couldn't help but ask.
Empress Linglong then recounted the events at Zhushan.
After hearing this, the two were shocked. The idea of the underworld and ghosts, or the idea of taking away a person's lifespan, seemed like a fantasy to them.
"Xuan Yue, what do you think?" The Sword Martial Saint looked at the Mysterious Maiden Martial Saint beside him. Xuan Yue was her real name.
“Alas, this is truly unbelievable. There are many people in this world who can kill Yi Bailie, but to defeat him in such a short time and leave him defenseless, is something that could only be done by…” Xuan Yue stopped halfway through her sentence.
"You mean the other party is a God of War?" the Sword Saint asked in a deep voice.
Xuan Yue didn't speak, but the answer was already revealed in her eyes.
"Master, the Supreme One just instructed me to hang these winged human corpses outside the city gate. What do you think..." Empress Linglong said at this moment.
"The city gate? Just do as I say." Xuan Yue nodded.
Soon, Hei Yi and his men carried the corpse away from the palace.
"If this person is truly at that level, the balance of the world will likely be disrupted," sighed the Sword Saint.
"Wouldn't it be good to break through? It's just that whether she is a Martial God or not still needs to be confirmed," Xuan Yue said.
In the Brocade Palace Garden, a pile of charcoal fire had already been lit, and a grill was placed on top of the fire, with a pair of huge, neatly arranged wings lying across the grill.
"Remember, grilling is an art. Different ingredients require different grilling times. Take these wings, for example. They're white meat, so to grill them until they're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, you have to control the heat. Don't grill them for too long. As soon as you see the meat change color slightly, immediately rub on the seasonings, grill for a few more minutes, and then you can take them off the heat." After Li Daoyi finished speaking, he picked up a brush, dipped it in honey and other seasonings from the seasoning dish next to him, and quickly brushed it onto the wings.
Just then, Linglong and her daughter, Jianyang, Xueyun, Xuanyue, and Jianwusheng arrived. As soon as they entered the garden, they saw this scene and heard what Li Daoyi had just said.
"Dongfang, Long'er, you must remember that cultivation is like this barbecue; the flames should be fierce when necessary and weak when necessary."
As Li Daoyi spoke, the charcoal fire began to change, sometimes large and sometimes small, and a fragrant aroma slowly wafted out.
"Mmm...smells so good! Brother Daoyi, can we eat now?" Mengmeng squatted to the side, drool already dripping from her mouth.
"Alright, you little glutton," Li Daoyi laughed.
Then the roasted wings were placed on a large tray that had been prepared beforehand, and the little guy couldn't wait to pick them up and start eating.
Li Daoyi then continued grilling, as two wings weren't enough to fill Mengmeng's teeth, and they had also prepared a lot of other barbecue ingredients.
Dongfang Bubai and Xiaolongnu were skewering meat and vegetables. They glanced at the people behind them and then looked at Li Daoyi.
"Gentlemen, aren't you tired of watching for so long?" Li Daoyi said while grilling.
Only then did the people at the door come to their senses.
"Zhuzhu, come here, here's one for you." Mengmeng turned around and waved to Zhuzhu.
"Thank you, Aunt Mengmeng," Zhuzhu said happily, then ran over.
Linglong and the others also went over.
"Sit down," Li Daoyi waved his hand. Instantly, many chairs appeared around them.
"Don't rush, it'll be ready soon. Barbecue is my specialty, you're in for a treat today," Li Daoyi said with a smile as he turned around.
"Oh, right, don't just sit there, help them out and skewer all the meat and vegetables. These wings are for Mengmeng to grill, we'll eat those later," Li Daoyi said, pointing to the two people from the East who were skewering the meat.
"Uh..." Xuan Yue and Jian Wusheng were stunned. They never expected that the first thing they would do when visiting a master would be to make a kebab.
However, Linglong and Xueyun didn't have so many concerns. The two women immediately got busy, and then Jianyang gave his sect leader an awkward smile and went over to help.
"This..." Sword Saint smiled wryly at Xuan Yue, who was in the same mood as him. The two shook their heads helplessly and rolled up their sleeves to step forward.
