Chapter 704

In truth, it was pure suppression of the two others, not any real intent to harm these two grassland men.

After all, he did not truly want their lives, nor did he truly wish to go to war with the Great Yuan.

He only wanted the two of them to retreat before the difficulty, to avoid breaking the seal of the Yin Moon Dynasty.

Previously, when dealing with the Great Tang, he had done the same.

After a brief exchange of aura across the air with the Heavenly Demon Cang Xu, that Cang Xu retreated before the difficulty.

Afterwards, the Great Tang merely sealed off Ruosida Sect, which actually gave him a good stretch of peace.

The aura that had suddenly arrived now, however, was extremely different from Cang Xu's.

Instead, it gave Yan Chixia a faint sense of familiarity.

Throughout the world, the number of experts who could reach Yan Chixia's level could be counted on one hand.

"Could it be him?"

Yan Chixia tucked his wine gourd behind his waist, stood up, and gazed toward the gate of Ruosida Sect.

The next moment, a monk appeared at the entrance of Ruosida Sect.

"Master Changsheng..."

Mu Huali and General Zhebie both faintly felt as if they had survived a calamity.

They had originally assumed that, as members of the Great Yuan's Thirteen Wings listed on the Heavenly Dao Golden List, they could still exchange a few moves with a top-tier expert like this.

Who would have thought that a true expert of this caliber could, with aura alone, make it impossible to even summon the thought of resistance?

If he truly struck with full force, the two of them would likely perish here in an instant.

Seeing clearly who it was that had come to their rescue at the gate of Ruosida Sect, Mu Huali and General Zhebie immediately stepped forward to pay respects.

"Mm! You two, withdraw! This is not a place where you can intervene."

The newcomer was naturally the God of Immortality. When he had been a god, he had been incomparably proud.

After becoming Master Changsheng and concurrently taking on the role of Left State Preceptor of the Great Yuan, he had actually收敛 quite a bit.

Yet this tone of his still made people rather uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Mu Huali and General Zhebie were not of Wu Lin origin, but Great Yuan generals, and were most adept at the art of bending and stretching as needed.

Although the God of Immortality's words were unpleasant to the ear, the two of them still offered humble thanks, expressing their gratitude for the God of Immortality's aid.

They then left word that, if the God of Immortality encountered any obstruction here, he should send a signal.

They would spare no effort, even if it meant sacrificing every last Great Yuan soldier, to come to the God of Immortality's aid.

This aid was naturally of no great use, but the flattery combined with this declaration actually made the God of Immortality feel quite gratified.

Only then did Mu Huali and General Zhebie glare hard at Yan Chixia once before withdrawing from Ruosida Sect.

The contest between Yan Chixia and the God of Immortality was one in which Mu Huali and General Zhebie could not intervene.

But the Xuanxinzheng Sect personnel distributed outside, secretly guarding Ruosida Sect, still needed Mu Huali to lead the Great Yuan elites to clear them out.

Since talks with Yan Chixia had reached no agreement, they could only go to war with the Xuanxinzheng Sect.

As for whether the Yin Moon Dynasty was truly as Yan Chixia had said, and not simple at all—

Jing Wuyuan had not disclosed the full truth to General Zhebie either.

Does any of this matter?

Mu Huali's mission was to communicate with the Yin Moon Dynasty and establish contact.

That was all that needed to be done!

As for whatever schemes the Yin Moon Dynasty might harbor afterward—could they possibly have more power than the Great Yuan?

With such power, could they still have been sealed within the Yin Moon Grotto-Heaven by the Xuanxinzheng Sect for so many years, utterly unable to move about in the outside world?

Therefore, Mu Huali did not believe Yan Chixia's words.

"When did you become Master Changsheng?"

After Mu Huali and General Zhebie had left Ruosida Sect and no one was there to disturb them, Yan Chixia slowly asked the God of Immortality.

The first time Ruosida Sect had revealed itself before the world was when Bu Yuanting had been lured into coming to break the seal of the Yin Moon Grotto-Heaven.

It happened that, in order to change his body, the God of Immortality had pursued Bu Yuanting here, and thus had once crossed paths with Yan Chixia.

On that occasion, because Yan Chixia sensed the descent of the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, he borrowed a sword qi from the God of Immortality to distance himself from the battlefield and watch the fire from across the shore.

In the end, he was able to witness the earth-shaking contest between the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen and the God of Immortality.

He only felt that, whether it was the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen or the God of Immortality, he himself, relying solely on Wu Gong cultivation, was far inferior.

Borrowing the Daoist arts of the Xuanxinzheng Sect, he could barely manage a four-six split.

Yes—four was Yan Chixia, six was the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen and the God of Immortality combined!

Therefore, upon suddenly seeing the God of Immortality transformed beyond recognition into a monk, Yan Chixia felt deeply strange, but also treated it as facing a formidable enemy, not daring to relax in the slightest.

"You recognize this seat?"

The God of Immortality had already forgotten all of his past memories.

He now only remembered that he was Master Changsheng, commissioned to become the Great Yuan's State Preceptor, to help the Great Yuan achieve victory in this age of great contention.

Therefore, hearing the tone of Yan Chixia's words, he could not help but feel a little curious.

"I recognize you, and yet I could also say I don't."

Although he had witnessed the battle between the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen and the God of Immortality, Yan Chixia had not gone to inquire into their origins afterward.

Since that incident back then, he now had only the task of guarding the seal of the Yin Moon Grotto-Heaven.

Everything else, he did not want to weigh upon his heart at all.

Nevertheless, he still spoke of that great battle from back then.

"A few months ago, you fought a great battle here with a woman—a very beautiful woman."

"I actually came here?"

The God of Immortality could not help but feel a little surprised—so this was not his first time here.

Moreover, he had fought a great battle here against a beautiful woman.

At this, his hostility could not help but lessen by a fraction, and he asked again,

"And then?"

"And then you were defeated…"

That great battle—Yan Chixia had seen it clearly from start to finish.

Although the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen held a slight upper hand with a narrow advantage,

if the fight had continued, the God of Immortality would undoubtedly have been defeated.

"I was defeated? Impossible!"

The God of Immortality's face was filled with disbelief—apart from the one behind him, where in his memory was there any talk of defeat?

And to a woman, no less?

How could that be possible!

"Fine! Believe it or not."

Yan Chixia could not be bothered to explain further, and said,

"Last time you came, it was to capture someone. This time you've come—could it be to lift the seal on Yin Moon Cave Heaven?"

That previous strike the God of Immortality had dealt Bu Yuanting had been, one could say, extremely light.

With Yan Chixia's eye, he could naturally see through his purpose.

"I am now the Left State Preceptor of the Great Yuan, sent by the Great Khan to make contact with the Yin Moon Dynasty.

If you know what's good for you, then step aside here and now.

If you don't…"

The God of Immortality spoke to here, and his aura burst forth in full.

Dense aura surged up behind him, and in the blink of an eye, it coalesced into a towering phantom image of a Heaven-Through Demon God.

But this demon-god phantom lasted less than a moment before slowly twisting, transforming into the phantom image of a smiling-faced Buddha.

"Hm? How has your art changed?"

Seeing that he was already prepared to fight, Yan Chixia also undid his own sword case.

If you want to fight, then fight!

When had Yan Chixia ever flinched before anyone?

Only, last time the God of Immortality had fought the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, he had witnessed the God of Immortality's Indestructible Demon Body.
