Chapter 112: Universal Divine Skill Saves the Day

The Elder gave a cold sneer, waved the staff in his hand, and a golden light flashed by; the secret door was instantly sealed shut by an energy barrier.

"Today, none of you will leave here alive!"

A feeling of despair surged into his heart like a tide, and Zhang Yi felt his whole body go weak; was he really going to die here today?

Just at this critical moment, Zhang Yi suddenly remembered the Universal Divine Skill he had previously obtained.

This divine skill could randomly exchange for one ability, and it could only be used once a day.

He looked at the Elder, who was acting so overbearing and arrogant, and his heart stirred; a bold idea emerged.

"Universal Divine Skill, convert for me into the Obedience Divine Skill!"

Zhang Yi recited silently in his heart.

A strange energy instantly surged through his entire body, and he felt a marvelous connection established between himself and the Elder.

The Elder's originally ferocious face suddenly became sluggish, his eyes hollow, as if he had lost his soul.

Zhang Yi felt a surge of joy, knowing the divine skill had taken effect. He immediately ordered the Elder: "Stop! Let them go!"

Like a marionette, the Elder mechanically repeated: "Stop! Let them go!"

The originally aggressive Great Demons were stunned when they heard the Elder's command; they stopped their hands one after another and looked at the Elder in confusion.

"Elder, what did you say?"

Chiyan Hu asked in disbelief, thinking he had misheard.

The Elder repeated again: "Stop! Let them go!"

Now, the Great Demons all understood that the Elder was truly telling them to stop.

Although their hearts were full of doubt, they dared not defy the Elder's order and had to retreat to the side, looking disgruntled.

Mother Jubiao was also stunned; she did not understand what had happened or why the Elder would suddenly change his mind.

But she had no time to think, and immediately called out to Zhang Yi and the others: "Hurry! Don't just stand there!"

Zhang Yi supported his injured mother and, taking Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon, quickly ran toward the outside of the great hall.

"Elder, what has come over you? Why let them go?" Chiyan Hu asked, unwilling to accept it.

The Elder remained expressionless, answering with hollow eyes: "I don't know, I just want to let them go."

Chiyan Hu was so angry he gnashed his teeth, yet he was helpless.

He glared fiercely at Zhang Yi's departing back, his heart filled with resentment.

Zhang Yi and the others ran wildly all the way and finally escaped the Yaosheng Mansion.

"Son, what did you do just now? Why did the Elder suddenly let us go?"

Mother Jubiao asked, still shaken.

Zhang Yi smiled and explained: "I used a special ability to make the Elder listen to me."

"What ability is so powerful?" Mother Jubiao asked in surprise.

Zhang Yi gave a mysterious smile and did not explain too much, only saying: "It's a secret."

After they escaped the Yaosheng Mansion, they did not leave Yaosheng Shan immediately, but found a hidden cave to hide in.

Zhang Yi's injuries needed treatment, and they also needed to rest well and discuss their next steps.

The cave was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a musty smell.

Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon were both a bit scared, clinging tightly to Zhang Yi's side.

In the cave, the damp air, laden with the fishy scent of soil, made Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon twist their bodies uneasily.

Zhang Yi sat cross-legged, regulating the chaotic Qi within his body.

Mother Jubiao's injuries were much more severe than his; several broken flight feathers hung limply, and bright red blood dripped down the feathers onto the ground, forming a small pool of dark red blood.

"Yi'er, this 'Obedience Divine Skill' of yours... can only be used once a day?"

Mother Jubiao's voice was weak, carrying a trace of worry.

Zhang Yi nodded: "Yes, Mother. And I don't know what ability it will convert into next time; it's completely random."

He paused, a trace of lingering fear flashing in his eyes, "We were really lucky this time; if it had converted into some useless ability, we would have been done for today."

Mother Jubiao sighed, looking at the dark sky outside the cave with a complex expression: "We can no longer stay in the Yaosheng Mansion. Yi'er, what are your plans?"

Zhang Yi pondered for a moment and said: "I want to go to the Trial Land."

"The Trial Land?"

Mother Jubiao was startled, "That place is full of crises; even many long-renowned Great Demons dare not easily set foot there. Why are you going there?"

"Mother, don't worry."

A trace of determination flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes, "I feel that my bloodline power is about to awaken. Although the Trial Land is dangerous, it is also an opportunity; perhaps there, I can find the chance to break through."

At the same time.

Inside the Yaosheng Mansion, the news that the Wangri Bird family had been expelled by the Elder spread as if it had grown wings.

"Haha! Those stupid birds finally got lost! I've long found them an eyesore!"

A porcupine demon covered in sharp quills shook its quills triumphantly, as if celebrating a victory.

"Isn't that right! Ever since they came to the Yaosheng Mansion, all kinds of benefits have been biased toward them. What right do they have? They aren't worth a fart!"

"They ate the Flower-Spotted Tiger, so being kicked out is what they deserve! Hmph, it should have been like this long ago!"

However, not all Demon Beasts were happy about this.

Inside the Tiger Clan's Dongfu, Chiyan Hu was pacing back and forth, his face so gloomy it seemed as if it could drip water.

"Damn it! Why did the Elder let them go? Just a little more, just a little more and I could have killed them!"

He waved his claws in anger, smashing a boulder beside him into pieces.

Several burly tiger demons stood to the side, not daring to even breathe loudly.

They knew that the Patriarch was currently in a fit of rage, and whoever ran into the line of fire would definitely not have a good outcome.

Finally, a slightly bolder tiger demon cautiously asked, "Patriarch, how about... we go ask the Elder why those birds were let go?"

Chi Yanhu stopped abruptly, staring at that tiger demon with eyes like torches: "Ask? How to ask? Rush straight into Elder Hall to question the Elder? Are you tired of living or what?!"

That tiger demon shivered in fear and hurriedly lowered his head: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. It's just... Brother Huabanhu cannot just die so unclearly..."

Chi Yanhu took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart. How could he not want to avenge Huabanhu?

But he dared not defy the Elder's order either.

"Go, gather a few brothers, we are going to Changlao Dian!"

Chi Yanhu said in a deep voice.

Inside the main hall of the Demon Saint Mansion, smoke curled and drifted.

The Elder was in seclusion.

Rather than saying he was in seclusion, it was more like he had locked himself in here to sulk.

"What has gotten into me? Have I gone senile?"

He muttered in a low voice.

Those Wangri Birds, he could have clearly executed them all, yet he had inexplicably let them run away!

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and several Great Demons of various sizes walked in.
