Chapter 798

The Red Flame Flood Dragon, having grown illusory dragon horns, seemed to have divine assistance; with a single strike of its dragon claw, it shattered the void, and like a collapsing sky and splitting earth, it smashed Jun Chuanxiong—man and sword together—directly into the mountain body of Tianzhu Peak.

The towering Tianzhu Peak, which reached into the clouds, actually developed countless cracks, which was enough to show just how terrifying this strike from the Red Flame Flood Dragon truly was.

The people present also gasped in succession.

A flood dragon itself was already terrifying enough; a flood dragon that had obtained true dragon blood was even more likely to truly complete its ancestral reversion!

"Jun Chuanxiong!"

Seeing this, Situ Qi spat out a mouthful of his heart's essence blood, and the speed at which he drew his talismans instantly skyrocketed!

After each talisman took shape in the air, they flew toward the Red Flame Flood Dragon and exploded on its body, not giving the opponent a chance to pursue Jun Chuanxiong.

"I'm fine! Wait until I slaughter this beast and make a hotpot!"

Jun Chuanxiong rushed out from the mountain fissure; his aura was chaotic and he was covered in blood, clearly having suffered no light injuries, but the unyielding sword intent carrying righteous Qi on his body had become even more vigorous and flourishing!

"Good, let's slaughter this beast!"

Situ Qi was also truly enraged; the two attacked again, with talismans and sword Qi raging.

Situ Qi's brush tip flowed, smashing out one hundred and eight talismans in succession; the righteous sword intent on Jun Chuanxiong's body condensed into a materialized sword aura, directly suppressing and killing the Red Flame Flood Dragon!

Even with the Red Flame Flood Dragon's terrifying defensive power, it gradually began to fail, and astonishing sprays of blood began to burst forth.

"You dare to hurt this old woman's dragon child? You have such great dog guts!"

Granny Kuanglong roared, anger surging in her eyes.

"Berserk Transformation!"

She formed seals and roared, directly forcing the Red Flame Flood Dragon into a berserk state.

Situ Qi and Jun Chuanxiong were already struggling to deal with the Red Flame Flood Dragon, and now that it had fallen into a berserk state, they were instantly forced onto the back foot.

Seeing the Red Flame Flood Dragon forcing Situ Qi and Jun Chuanxiong into a steady retreat, Granny Kuanglong freed up her hand and reached directly toward Ye Lin!

"Today, this soul, I, this old woman, am truly determined to search!"

At this moment, a fragrant breeze drifted by, and a figure like an iron tower blocked Ye Lin's path, a sweet voice ringing out.

"Ye Lin, run!"

Xu Minxuan's muscles bulged all over, protecting Ye Lin like a small mountain.

It was just a pity that while she was a standout among the younger generation, she was not quite enough in front of Granny Kuanglong.

Even though Xu Minxuan had used her full strength, the result was still being blasted away by Granny Kuanglong.

Watching Granny Kuanglong, who continued to reach toward him with her withered, thin fingers, a flash of hidden sharpness flickered in the depths of Ye Lin's eyes.

He very much wanted to retaliate, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, there were too many methods he could not use.

Once used, it might bring more trouble to him and the Profound Heaven Sect.

Helpless, Ye Lin could only choose to do nothing.

Just as Granny Kuanglong's hand was about to grab Ye Lin, a fair, jade-like hand reached out from the void and traded a palm strike with Granny Kuanglong.

Granny Kuanglong's expression changed wildly; that fair, jade-like hand seemed light and without any strength, but only upon true contact did one discover that this palm strike seemed to contain a world of heaven and earth!

Granny Kuanglong's figure retreated violently, blood spilling from her mouth, and her complexion turned several shades paler.

A woman in a simple, elegant white dress stepped out from the void; it was none other than the Profound Heaven Sect Master, Fang Xijuan.

"Granny Kuanglong, Ye Lin is the Holy Son of my Profound Heaven Sect. Is it not a bit too much for you to want to search the soul of my Profound Heaven Sect's Holy Son?"

Fang Xijuan's tone was very calm, but anyone could hear the anger contained beneath that calmness.

"Profound Heaven Sect Master!"

Granny Kuanglong recognized the newcomer, and her old face turned from blue to white.

She had not expected that this matter would actually lead Fang Xijuan to appear in person.

But then again, a genius possessing a forbidden spirit root would be protected like a treasure even by their Ten Thousand Beasts Tianmen, let alone the Profound Heaven Sect.

Seeing Fang Xijuan appear, Situ Qi and Jun Chuanxiong also let out a long sigh of relief and opened up distance from the Red Flame Flood Dragon.

A flash of malice flickered in the depths of Granny Kuanglong's eyes; just from that brief palm exchange, she knew that she was likely not Fang Xijuan's match, and even with the Red Flame Flood Dragon, she had no chance of winning.

However, she was not just a powerful cultivator; her more important identity was that of an extremely senior elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tianmen!

"Fang Xijuan, it seems you are determined to protect this Ye Lin? Even if he stole the Heaven-Swallowing Beast of my Ten Thousand Beasts Tianmen, you are still going to protect him to the end, is that it?"

Granny Kuanglong began to question her.

"May I interpret this as your Profound Heaven Sect wanting to be enemies with my Ten Thousand Beasts Tianmen?"

Fang Xijuan frowned slightly; she naturally would not jump into the pit Granny Kuanglong had dug for her, and immediately asked in return.

"The Ten Thousand Beasts Tianmen is the most powerful beast-taming sect in my East Profound Domain, with countless experts within. My Profound Heaven Sect has also long admired the Ten Thousand Beasts Tianmen, so naturally, we have no intention of being enemies with you."

"Moreover, regarding the theft, there is no substantive evidence. For Granny Kuanglong to make such a reckless conclusion, does it not inevitably carry the suspicion of making false accusations?"

"Could it be that the Ten Thousand Beasts Tianmen has always acted in such a domineering manner, pointing at a deer and calling it a horse?"

Granny Kuanglong sneered.

"Hmph, sharp-tongued. Can your Profound Heaven Sect prove that this Ye Lin did not steal it? Don't forget, the Heaven-Swallowing Beast of my Ten Thousand Beasts Tianmen is right in his hands; is this not ironclad evidence?"

Facing the unreasonable pestering of this old woman, blue veins throbbed on Fang Xijuan's fair forehead.

She really wanted to slap this old woman to death with one palm, but unfortunately, she could not.

If she really did that, it would truly be forming a blood feud with the Ten Thousand Beasts Tianmen.

"Then how exactly does Granny Kuanglong wish to handle this?" Fang Xijuan went straight to the point, too lazy to continue haggling with the other party.

"I said it, the solution I want is very simple: just search his soul."

Granny Kuanglong's smile was full of malice.

"True or false, won't we know as soon as we search his soul?"

"Don't you even think about..."

Fang Xijuan's expression turned cold, and just as she was about to refuse, Ye Lin took the initiative to step forward.

"Search! I'll provide the brain for the soul-searching!"

"Ye Lin, do not be impulsive. Soul-searching will cause irreversible damage to a cultivator's soul..."

Fang Xijuan was just about to persuade Ye Lin, but Ye Lin looked at her with firm eyes and said.

"Sect Master, if we don't let this endocrine-disordered old pigeon search my soul, this matter won't end today. Since she wants to search, then let her search!"

Hearing how Ye Lin addressed her, Granny Kuanglong's face turned green instantly.

"Are you truly certain?" Fang Xijuan asked with a frown.

"Guaranteed. Could I possibly joke about my own immortal path?"

Ye Lin patted Fang Xijuan's hand to signal her to be at ease, and took the opportunity to stroke it.

Hmm, very smooth.

Afterward, Ye Lin walked straight toward Granny Kuanglong.

"Come on, search my soul. But I'll say the ugly words first: if you can't find anything, this matter ends here. I ask the seniors and fellow Daoists present to bear witness."

"After all, the Ten Thousand Beasts Tianmen has a large family and a big business; if they insist on breaking their word and going back on their promise, I have no way to deal with it, right?"

Ye Lin spread his hands, looking innocent.

"Hmph, rest assured. After the soul-searching, regardless of whether evidence is found, this matter will be wiped clean!"

Granny Kuanglong sneered, looking at Ye Lin as if looking at a dead person.

She extended a wisp of divine sense, like a sharp nail, and drove it directly into Ye Lin's mind!

The reason she wanted to use this most brutal soul-searching method was that she wanted to deliberately make Ye Lin suffer and watch him wail.

But Ye Lin's face remained calm, and he even said with a look of disdain.

"Na na, trashy granny who is searching my soul, if you only have this much divine sense, it's not enough. Although your divine sense is okay, it's completely incapable of breaking my brain~"

"But then again, it must be hard for a trashy granny of your age to search my soul. Very well, I'll reluctantly pretend to be in a lot of pain, consider it a reward for you, you trashy fish~"

"Hee hee~"
