Chapter 24

Countless brilliant auroras swayed, flying and shining, as if pulling this piece of heaven and earth into the boundless deep space in an instant, unable to distinguish east from west, and with no top or bottom.

The blue-black escape light constantly shifted and twisted, but still could not break free, and a large hand twenty zhang in size, transformed from magic power, also grabbed violently; its momentum was unknown to be many times faster than lightning, and there was simply no way to avoid it.

Seeing that it was already impossible to escape.

The blue-black escape light had no choice but to forcibly retract its brilliance and crash fiercely into the large hand that was grabbing it!

Only a loud roar was heard, as if several mountain ridges had collapsed together. The blue-black escape light trembled, ready to disintegrate at any moment, while the magic power hand was unimpeded, instead spreading its five fingers again and grabbing downward.

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

Rocks flew everywhere, the ground was heavily sunken, and smoke and dust rose.

The blue-black escape light did not dare to resist as hard as before, but constantly darted and leaped, always narrowly avoiding the grab of the magic power hand at the critical moment.

"Hmph! Let's see how else you can escape?"

Yin Gonghao put away his playful heart.

He urged his magic power slightly, and the large hand instantly expanded to several hundred zhang in size, black and heavy; in an instant, it was like an innate giant god dropping its palm from the clouds.

Clouds and thunder rose together, emitting countless whistling and roaring sounds!

The blue-black escape light was just like a small, lonely boat in a giant wave, seeing that it was about to capsize, but suddenly a point of golden light jumped out from the escape light, meeting the magic power hand.

That point of golden light, like a bean, just lay in mid-air, and there was a magnificent spirit that fixed the ten thousand phenomena of the four seasons, high and lofty.

"This is?"

Yin Gonghao seemed to think of something and frowned, but the several-hundred-zhang-sized magic power hand did not stop, and its downward momentum became even faster.

With a silent collision, the point of golden light and the magic power hand both dissipated, disappearing without a trace.

"... I was wondering who had such guts to dare to spy on me; so you actually have such a background, no wonder, no wonder."

Seeing that one strike failed, Yin Gonghao was too lazy to strike again. He raised his sleeves to retract the sky-filling shining aurora and no longer blocked the blue-black escape light from leaving:

"Speak, son of Yushu, what is your business in seeking me?"

Below him, a tall figure was revealed within the blue-black escape light.

He wore a simple white robe, his hair tied with a green hairpin, and a black jade mask on his left face; it was a romantic and handsome style.

This person was Chen Ying, who had met Chen Hang on Little Gan Mountain.

"The Elder's killing intent is too heavy. I just wanted to come over to watch the excitement, and you almost killed me. How ruthless, how ruthless."

Chen Ying sighed lightly: "But how did the Elder know I am Yushu's son?"

He laughed: "Could I not be a disciple of a great sect? The Yuchen Sect, the Chiming Sect, or... the Huzhao Sect?"

"Don't tangle with me here. Being able to learn the 'Ghostly Nine Splendors Great Escape' of the Innate Demonic Sect and having Yushu's fighting talisman for protection, if you are not his son, could you be Yushu's father?"

Chen Ying was dumbfounded and laughed.

"Speak if you have business. For the past few days, I have felt vaguely that someone was following me. I pinched my fingers to calculate, but the heavenly secrets were obscured, making it difficult to calculate the person's identity."

Yin Gonghao said coldly:

"I suppose the person following me was you? It seems Yushu dotes on you; not only did he give you a protective talisman, but he also gave you a secret treasure to obscure the heavenly secrets... Such wealth, I even want to kill you and seize the treasure!"

"The Elder has vast divine powers. With my meager cultivation, I have been searching for you for several days and couldn't catch up; it is truly embarrassing."

"Oh? Then today, how did you know I would stop here?"

"Today? Today was indeed an accident."

Chen Ying seemed to find it funny and said: "Today I was originally going to visit a brother, but I didn't expect to meet the Elder on the way. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

"Your brother? Is he also Yushu's son?"

Yin Gonghao's eyes lit up.

"Exactly. I originally wanted to give him a few pointers, to let him be careful of Yushu, and not to be like the other brothers, who, although prestigious for a while, will eventually end up with a mundane life, obtaining only a reflection of the moon in the water, a mere illusion."

Chen Ying looked toward Daoist Yangshan and then withdrew his gaze indifferently:

"But since I met the Elder, I have serious business to attend to, so I couldn't care about him. I only hope he seeks his own blessings."

"A true disciple of the Innate Demonic Sect seeking an Elder of my Huzhao Sect, what serious business do you have?"

"Earth Abyss."

Chen Ying laughed freely and said:

"Corpse-Dissolving Immortal!"

Yin Gonghao's face changed drastically, and he was about to leave, but was grabbed by the sleeve by Chen Ying.

"Don't worry, I'm not that crazy; that Corpse-Dissolving Immortal is not something I can covet. However, doesn't He still have disciples?"

Chen Ying lowered his voice and transmitted a message with his divine sense.

And Yin Gonghao's face also changed between red and white in an instant.

Until the end, under Chen Ying's smiling gaze, he hardened his heart and gritted his teeth to agree.

"Fine, fine. Then I will return to the Huzhao Sect to plan a little. True Person Chen, come with me; as both are of the Six Demonic Sects, we cannot fail to interact, lest we become estranged."

Yin Gonghao's words suddenly became much more polite.

"I couldn't ask for more!"

Chen Ying laughed loudly.

Yin Gonghao raised his hand to summon an eight-sided exquisite white jade building and walked in hand-in-hand with Chen Ying. But when the white jade building broke through the void, he remembered Xiao Yu, and a clear Qi split from his crown and fell down.

"Please!"

The white jade building disappeared on the spot in an instant, not knowing how many miles of mountains and rivers it had broken through in a flash.

And the clear Qi split from Yin Gonghao's crown had not yet landed when it changed into Yin Gonghao's appearance, with the same demonic intent.

"What a piece of trash!"

He raised his long eyebrows and said with dissatisfaction.

At this time, the scene below was already unbearable to look at.

Half of Xiao Yu's body had been bitten to pieces, her belly broken and intestines exposed, yet she was still struggling and had not died.

This woman opened her blood-stained arms, which already revealed white bone fragments, and hugged a walking corpse tightly.

She didn't care about the stench, which was even more intense than a latrine, and opened her mouth to bite the walking corpse's neck, refusing to let go.

"But this temperament is still acceptable."

Yin Gonghao waved his hand, and his vast magic power shook, causing the walking corpses below to explode, their skin and flesh turning into paste.

He pointed at Xiao Yu again, and this dying woman was injected with a True Qi, instantly regenerating her liver and skin. After only a few breaths, her face glowed red; not only were her injuries fully recovered, but she was even healthier than before.

"I beg the teacher for mercy! Teach me the Immortal Path!"

Without the slightest hesitation.

Xiao Yu knelt down violently.

Having seen the grand momentum of the battle between Yin Gonghao and Chen Ying, which almost turned the mountains and rivers upside down, and having seen such life-saving methods.

No matter how crazy she was, she knew that the old man in front of her had divine powers.

"The title of teacher cannot be mentioned yet. You failed to kill all these walking corpses; the assessment is not complete, and you cannot enter my, Yin Gonghao's, sect."

Yin Gonghao shook his head: "However, I can give you another chance."

"Thank you, True Person! Thank you, True Person!"

Xiao Yu kowtowed heavily, her forehead bruised and purple.

Seeing this, Yin Gonghao smiled with satisfaction and asked: "Do you have anyone you are most grateful to or care about?"

"..."

Chen Hang's face appeared in Xiao Yu's heart.

She wanted to shake her head, but Yin Gonghao's gaze made her unable to give birth to the slightest thought of concealment.

"Yes, his name is Chen Hang."

Xiao Yu lowered her head.

"Hmm, then go kill him. Are you willing?"

"... I am willing!"

Xiao Yu's fingernails dug deep into her palms. After a long time, she suddenly giggled: "As long as I can follow the True Person to study the Dao, even if I have to slice him into a thousand pieces, I am willing!"

"Good."

Yin Gonghao nodded: "I will only teach you to study the Dao for one month. If you can kill him, you can join my sect. If you cannot, I will break your four limbs, change you into a beast, and make your life worse than death. How about that?"

"I understand; I will obey the True Person's instructions."

"Good! Good!"

Hearing this, Yin Gonghao's face finally revealed a trace of true joy and said: "Good child, tell me your real name."

"Zhou Chuyu."

Xiao Yu obediently crawled on her knees to Yin Gonghao and raised her face flatteringly:

"Reporting to the True Person, my mundane name is Zhou Chuyu."

Yin Gonghao first frowned, then laughed loudly. He laughed extremely happily, the sound shaking the mountains and forests, causing countless flowing clouds in the high sky to disperse and shatter in an instant.

And Daoist Yangshan.

At this moment, Chen Hang, who was in the True Dharma Realm, naturally did not know about everything that happened outside.

Seeing him sitting cross-legged, he suddenly moved, pinched a Dharma seal, and layers of airflow rose around his body.

"Done!"

Chen Hang opened his eyes, joy appearing on his face.
