~21 min read 4,081 words

The "Tianhai Order" in Qiu Daoping's hand, besides being able to command all cultivators who joined the "Tianhai Alliance" during wartime, was also a fourth-grade magic treasure of high grade. Even from ten thousand miles away, it could allow them to communicate with each other.

After taking out the "Tianhai Order" in his hand, several human figures suddenly appeared in the void. These people were all other Nascent Soul cultivators in the "Tianhai Alliance."

Among them, a green-robed old man with somewhat graying long hair was sitting in a cave dwelling, seemingly still in closed-door cultivation.

Seeing Qiu Daoping and Feng He, who was entwined by black energy not far away, a trace of confusion appeared on the green-robed old man's face, and he asked Qiu Daoping: "Daoist Qiu, what is going on?"

Qiu Daoping heard this and immediately replied with a serious face: "Fellow Daoists, the grudge from five hundred years ago has returned. If you all don't want to see the Tianhai Alliance crumble, please come and help me."

"Five hundred years ago, could it be that he is!"

Hearing Qiu Daoping mention the grudge of five hundred years ago, the green-robed old man and several other Nascent Soul Supreme Elders of the "Tianhai Alliance" all showed a look of surprise, soon guessing who the Feng He before them was.

After hesitating for a moment, the green-robed old man in the void began to cast a spell. Before long, a ray of spiritual light shot out from the void, and a person walked out from the void!

This person looked exactly the same as the green-robed old man in the void, only with a bit more heroic spirit between his brows, appearing even younger.

Seeing the green-robed old man arrive beside him, a trace of joy instantly appeared on Qiu Daoping's face, and his entire expression relaxed quite a bit.

"This is the Demon God's divine sense. He actually invited the Demon God to help, this is truly a bit tricky."

The green-robed old man who had just appeared felt the powerful aura radiated by Feng He in the distance, and his expression instantly became solemn.

Qiu Daoping heard this and replied with a calm expression: "Daoist Yuan, rest assured. He just used his own essence blood, the Demon God's divine sense guided down should not be much and cannot last for too long.

Daoist Yun and the others are not far from here. As long as you help me hold on until the reinforcements arrive, he will naturally know when to retreat.

Regarding the matters of back then, your Qingyang Sect also had a share, so I ask Daoist Yuan to keep that in mind.

If something happens to me today, Falling Maple Valley will definitely fall into his hands, and perhaps the Tianhai Alliance might not exist in the future."

The green-robed old man heard this, looked ahead with a solemn expression, and nodded slightly: "Daoist Qiu, I know this even if you don't say it, otherwise this old man wouldn't have cast a spell to arrive here first.

Even without the past grudges between you, today, since we have seen someone guiding the Upper Realm Demon God, eliminating demons and defending the Dao is also the responsibility of our generation."

"Brother Yuan is right. When we formed the alliance back then, we had long since made a vow to advance and retreat together. No matter who this person is, daring to take action against Tianhai Alliance cultivators, how can we sit idly by.

Two fellow Daoists, rest assured, we will naturally come to support!"

While Qiu Daoping and the green-robed old man were talking, the other several virtual images in mid-air also nodded, and then the figures of these people disappeared directly into mid-air.

Seeing this, Qiu Daoping's expression became even more stable.

Now that reinforcements were on the way, and the green-robed old man who had broken through the void beside him was also a Nascent Soul cultivator like himself, the two of them combined had a momentum that did not lose to the Feng He before them.

Even if they couldn't kill the other party, at least they shouldn't be in any danger themselves. As long as they waited for other Nascent Soul cultivators to arrive, even with the Demon God's divine sense added, Feng He would not be able to defeat them.

After the virtual images disappeared, the green-robed old man turned his head to look at Feng He, who was still accumulating power in mid-air, a look of regret revealing itself in his gaze.

"Daoist Feng, back then you and I could be considered to have had some friendship. I didn't expect that after so many years, you would actually walk to this step for the sake of revenge. It is truly a case of fortune playing with people!"

Facing this suddenly appearing green-robed old man, Feng He frowned slightly at this moment and sighed softly: "Since you remember the friendship of back then, then you shouldn't have come here to interfere in this matter.

This time I returned only to settle the grudge with him, and I have no intention of reminiscing with you people. If Brother Yuan can leave on your own now, I can promise not to trouble your Qingyang Sect in the future."

"To be honest, the matter back then reaching that point was indeed us doing something too excessive. It is understandable that you returned today to seek revenge.

However, now that Falling Maple Valley has joined the Tianhai Alliance, we are already of one mind. Your Excellency taking action against Daoist Qiu means declaring war on the entire Tianhai Alliance.

With me here today, you will not have the opportunity to succeed. I advise Your Excellency to take a step back. Otherwise, when other fellow Daoists arrive here, it won't be so easy for you to leave."

Hearing the green-robed old man's persuasion, Feng He directly shook his head and smiled: "Hahaha, five hundred years apart, Brother Yuan's tone is truly getting bigger and bigger!

Carefully plotted for hundreds of years, finally I have waited for today, no one can make me take a step back.

Don't say that what came was only a manifestation of yours, even if your main body came in person, you wouldn't be able to protect him today."

"Qiu Daoping, it is time for you to pay with your life!"

After Feng He finished speaking, spiritual light suddenly lit up on his body, and the black long spear in his hand directly transformed into dozens of zhang high, rushing toward Qiu Daoping's position with a sky-filling momentum.

And Qiu Daoping and the green-robed old man, seeing this, also frowned, each taking out their own magic treasures to protect themselves before them, forming a powerful protective shield.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the entire canyon immediately began to shake violently, as if encountering a tsunami or earthquake, making the entire sea island shake a few times.

Feng He, who strengthened his own strength by guiding the Demon God, now had a cultivation that had increased several times, almost approaching the seventh layer of Nascent Soul.

Before seizing the body back then, Feng He himself was a powerhouse whose strength did not lose to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Now that he had restored his cultivation, the battle strength he displayed was already on par with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, his opponent, Qiu Daoping, a fifth-layer Nascent Soul cultivator, was also a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator who had condensed his Nascent Soul for many years, and his battle strength was not weak among Nascent Soul cultivators.

The other green-robed old man, although his cultivation was slightly weaker at only the fourth layer of Nascent Soul, was an external manifestation of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and the strength he displayed was not much worse than Qiu Daoping's.

The three were all Nascent Soul level cultivators, plus the two "fourth-grade puppet beasts" fighting nearby, the great battle in the canyon was earth-shattering for a time.

"Is this the struggle between Nascent Soul cultivators? It is truly astonishing. I don't know if Senior Feng can successfully kill this person and avenge his grievances."

Song Yuanli, standing in an array outside the canyon, felt the huge commotion below. Having just condensed his Core Formation not long ago, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

Compared to the tension on Song Yuanli's face, Song Qingming and Ye Lin, who were also staring closely at the battlefield in the canyon through the array, had much calmer expressions and showed no signs of panic.

Both of them were late-stage Core Formation cultivators who had been in the Core Formation stage for many years. Although their own cultivation was still a great distance from Nascent Soul cultivators, they still had a certain understanding of the strength of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Although they knew Feng He was very persistent about revenge in his heart, seeing Feng He actually willing to feed the Demon God with his own body and guide the Upper Realm Demon God to help himself, Song Qingming still felt a bit shocked in his heart.

Feng He had seized a body and recultivated, and his own remaining lifespan was far less than other people who had broken through to Nascent Soul normally. Now, to guide the Demon God, he had lost a large amount of his own essence blood and damaged his lifespan. In the future, it would be difficult for his cultivation to advance further.

Even if he could successfully kill Qiu Daoping and avenge his grievances next, for Feng He, this was also a matter of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of his own.

As Song Qingming, who had dealt with Feng He for many years, he hadn't expected that he would not even care about his own Dao path for the sake of revenge.

Seeing Feng He fighting Qiu Daoping and the green-robed old man, two Nascent Soul cultivators, alone below, although the few of them were worried in their hearts, their cultivation was still somewhat insufficient, and they couldn't easily intervene in this level of battle.

According to Feng He's prior instructions, their main task was still to look after the several major arrays outside the canyon.

While using the arrays to block Qiu Daoping's retreat, they also had to help Feng He block the reinforcements that might appear outside, not letting them easily intervene in the struggle inside, and striving to win more time for Feng He to kill his opponent.

The barren island where the few were located was not far from "Wind Thunder Island." Those Core Formation cultivators of "Falling Maple Valley" must still be nearby. Although they had been prepared for a long time, Song Qingming still couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy in his heart.

Qiu Daoping's cultivation was not low, and a green-robed old man who was also a Nascent Soul cultivator had suddenly emerged. If Feng He couldn't take down the opponent in a short time, once the opponent waited for strong reinforcements, the situation would be hard to say.

After the great battle in the canyon began, both sides did not leave any retreat from the start, fighting very fiercely, making Song Qingming and the others watch with boiling blood.

Knowing that the opponent had already sent a message for help and didn't have much time left, Feng He exerted his full magical abilities to attack from the beginning, without any thought of leaving a retreat for himself, firmly suppressing the joint efforts of Qiu Daoping and the green-robed old man, two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

It was just that for cultivators at the Nascent Soul level to fight, although it was not difficult to distinguish victory or defeat, wanting to kill the opponent was not so easy.

Facing Feng He, who was eager to end the battle, the wily old man in green robes and Qiu Daoping, once they understood his intentions, quickly chose to defend rather than attack, single-mindedly wanting to stall for time until reinforcements arrived.

Seeing that he couldn't take down his opponent for a time, Feng He held up the black long spear in his hand and spat out another mouthful of essence blood into the long spear, making this weapon's black light surge, and its momentum became even stronger.

"Come again!" After the momentum of the long spear in his hand skyrocketed, Feng He gave a light shout, and his entire person disappeared into mid-air. The next moment, he appeared before Qiu Daoping and stabbed directly at the opponent's chest with the spear.

Facing this sudden fierce strike from Feng He, Qiu Daoping was unable to dodge and could only control a circular jade ring magic treasure before him to resist hard.

The result was a crisp sound, and this high-grade defensive magic treasure that had followed Qiu Wuxin for many years was directly pierced by Feng He's strike and destroyed on the spot.

Seeing this astonishing scene, Qiu Daoping's face was filled with surprise, and for a moment he was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.

Fortunately, the green-robed old man appeared in time, blocking before Qiu Daoping with a protective shield transformed from a golden tower, blocking Feng He's attack, which prevented him from suffering heavy damage.

Although Feng He's strike failed to kill his opponent, it destroyed Qiu Daoping's strongest defensive means. For a time, his defensive ability was greatly weakened, and he could no longer parry the opponent's full-force attack. Before long, several wounds appeared on his body.

Fortunately, the green-robed old man had been fully looking after him from the side, sharing a lot of pressure for Qiu Daoping, which allowed him to dodge several fatal strikes from Feng He.

Facing Feng He, whose strength had risen again, Qiu Daoping and the green-robed old man were beaten until they were somewhat flustered and could only helplessly grit their teeth and push their own magical power to the maximum limit, barely stabilizing the situation and not being defeated quickly.

Seeing that he and his side were already finding it difficult to support facing Feng He's full-force attack, the green-robed old man transmitted a message to Qiu Daoping beside him with an ugly expression:

"Daoist Qiu, here he has the Demon God's divine sense added, it is difficult for us to win in a great battle. We must find a way to change to another place to rush out, otherwise, the situation is feared to be unfavorable for us."

Facing the green-robed old man's suggestion, Qiu Daoping's face revealed a bit of bitterness and replied:

"I naturally know what Daoist Yuan said. However, I had already fallen into his trap earlier and was tainted by the Demon God's divine sense, making it impossible to escape, otherwise I wouldn't have asked for help from you all."

Hearing Qiu Daoping's reply, the green-robed old man also noticed the trace of black energy tainted on his body, and a look of solemnity appeared on his face.

The frontal battlefield was already at an absolute disadvantage for the two of them, and on the other battlefield, the great battle between the two "fourth-grade puppet beasts" was also not optimistic.

Although the "Bai Lin Illusion Cloud Python" summoned by Qiu Daoping and Feng He's giant white bird were both fourth-grade "puppet beasts," the "Bai Lin Illusion Cloud Python" soon fell into a disadvantage not long after the battle began.

Feng He seemed to know the "Bai Lin Illusion Cloud Python" very well, and the giant white bird he refined had magical abilities that were very restraining to the opponent. At this moment, it had already beaten the "Bai Lin Illusion Cloud Python" until it had no power to fight back.

Seeing that on the battlefield below, Feng He's side had already occupied an absolute advantage, and winning against the opponent should be a matter of time, Song Qingming and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Just as Daoist Qiu and the green-robed old man were facing immense pressure from Feng He, in mid-air outside the barren island, several escape lights of different colors were speeding toward this side. It was the several Core Formation Elders of "Falling Maple Valley" who had received the summoning order earlier.

"Not good! It's the people from Falling Maple Valley."

Seeing these people appear, Song Qingming, who had seen them before, soon recognized them and hurriedly reminded Ye Lin and Song Yuanli beside him.

The four yellow-robed men who were on their way were not far from this barren island. After receiving Qiu Daoping's message, they did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly sped toward the barren island.

Just as they approached the barren island, the four yellow-robed men of "Falling Maple Valley" immediately discovered the violent commotion on the island. Even separated by the obstruction of several arrays, they still clearly felt the powerful pressure brought by the Nascent Soul great battle in the canyon.

"This is... Not good, someone is fighting with the Chen Chen Laozu."

After discovering that the situation on the island was not right, the four yellow-robed men hurriedly increased their escape speed to approach the canyon and soon discovered the two major arrays covering it.

"The Chen Chen Laozu should be below, Junior Brother Lin, hurry and see how to break the array!" The leader of the four, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, asked a formation master beside him.

However, before they could start trying to break the array, two figures flew out from the array and flew toward their position, blocking them.

It was Song Qingming and Ye Lin, who had been prepared on the side.

"Who are you people, why are you ambushing us?"

Hearing the opponent's inquiry, Ye Lin replied with a calm expression: "Accepting money to eliminate disasters for others, who we are is not important. Fellow Daoists, you only need to know that this road is blocked."

"Hmph! Daring to speak to us in Falling Maple Valley like this, truly arrogant to the extreme."

Seeing someone come to block them, the four from "Falling Maple Valley" did not think much and activated the magic treasures in their hands to kill toward the position of Song Qingming and the other.

Seeing the opponent rushing over, Song Qingming and Ye Lin did not hurry, each taking out an array flag, jointly casting a spell to gather the spiritual power on the array flags into one place, directly summoning a majestic green dragon from within.

When this green dragon was summoned, the pressure radiated from its body was no less than that of a peak Core Formation cultivator. As soon as it appeared, it flew directly toward the position of the four from "Falling Maple Valley."

Because the Sect Master Luo Liangshan was not there, among the four from "Falling Maple Valley" who came, the highest cultivation was only at the seventh layer of Core Formation, and the other three were early and mid-stage Core Formation cultivators.

With the four of them joining forces, facing the green dragon controlled by Song Qingming and Ye Lin, they were actually unable to rush through the opponent's obstruction for a time, finding it difficult to approach the array above the canyon.

The array flag controlling this green dragon was a fourth-grade magic tool with special magical abilities, which Feng He had given to Song Qingming and Ye Lin in advance to prevent any reinforcements from appearing.

The two joined forces to cast spells and could summon a peak Core Formation demon beast spirit. Plus, Song Qingming and Ye Lin themselves were late-stage Core Formation cultivators, so they could simultaneously block the joint efforts of six or seven Core Formation cultivators from "Falling Maple Valley."

But because Luo Liangshan and the others were not there, and only the four yellow-robed men with relatively average strength came, Song Qingming and Ye Lin did not spend much effort to block them all.

Although they successfully blocked these people, Song Qingming and Ye Lin did not look overly relaxed and were still staring closely at the surroundings to prevent enemy reinforcements that might appear at any time.

When Song Qingming and the others started fighting, the battlefield in the canyon below had also reached a very critical moment.

Facing Feng He's almost desperate suppression, Daoist Qiu and the green-robed old man gradually couldn't support it. Especially Qiu Daoping, who was being targeted by Feng He, was already covered in wounds, and his arm had been cut off by Feng He.

Originally seeing the battle above, they thought reinforcements had arrived, but they didn't expect that the four yellow-robed men who came to support couldn't even approach the canyon after arriving.

Reaching this step, Qiu Daoping also knew that it would be difficult for him to retreat unscathed today. Seeing Feng He stab at him with a spear again, Qiu Daoping, unable to dodge, had to take out the last high-grade talisman on his body to resist.

After barely blocking this full-force strike from Feng He, Qiu Daoping suddenly patted his own forehead, and then a crimson red light flashed, and a crimson baby the size of three inches jumped out from above his head.

After this crimson baby appeared, it looked viciously at Feng He not far away, then directly hugged the storage magic tool before Qiu Daoping and transformed into a red escape light to flee outside the canyon.

This escaping crimson baby was the main Nascent Soul in Qiu Daoping's body. Having just left his physical body, his escape speed was extremely fast, even faster than an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator controlling a flying boat magic treasure.

After a Nascent Soul cultivator condenses a Nascent Soul in their body, they can control the Nascent Soul to leave the physical body and act independently. Even if the physical body is destroyed in the future, as long as the Nascent Soul is still intact, they can reshape the physical body through some unique means.

It's just that reshaping the physical body is extremely troublesome and requires very expensive materials. Unless forced by the situation, an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator would not easily give up their physical body.

Moreover, once the Nascent Soul leaves the body, besides the escape speed increasing, the cultivator's own magical abilities will also immediately drop by more than half.

Once encountered by a master's pursuit and blockade during this period, the Nascent Soul that has lost its physical body will be even easier to fall.

Seeing that reinforcements had not arrived, Qiu Daoping knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would very likely fall here, so he risked it and directly gave up his physical body.

Only his physical body was tainted with a trace of the Demon God's divine sense, and his main Nascent Soul was not affected. As long as the green-robed old man could help him hold Feng He for a moment, he would be able to break the array above and escape this place.

Regardless of his future Dao path, as long as his Nascent Soul could successfully escape, at least he would have a chance to reshape his physical body. But if captured by Feng He, he would only face the end of death and dissipation.

"Nascent Soul leaves the body, haha, you think that by voluntarily giving up your physical body, you can escape?"

Seeing the crimson baby fleeing outside the canyon, Feng He smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and immediately transformed into a black light to pursue. His speed was not much slower than Qiu Daoping's Nascent Soul.

However, just as Feng He moved, the green-robed old man immediately held a green bamboo magic treasure, flashed forward, and blocked Feng He.

"Brother Yuan, please help me hold him for a moment. No matter what you need in the future, I will definitely find a way to repay you, brother!"

Facing Qiu Daoping's exhortation, although the green-robed old man did not open his mouth to respond, the green bamboo magic treasure in his hand had already flashed with a powerful spiritual light, instantly turning into a giant net to block Feng He's path.

"Daoist Feng, let it end here!"

"Hehe! I said it before, he must die today, no one can keep his life!" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 789 =====
