Lu Chengfeng was engaged in a fierce battle with Black Wind Patriarch when suddenly he heard a voice mixed with excitement shout, "Black Wind Patriarch, do you meet your end today? Watch my treasure, go."
Immediately following, a golden light appeared out of thin air, rushing into the void, swiftly transforming into a nine-layer golden pagoda.
Below the golden pagoda, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind spread, quickly shrouding the entire sky, and then it came crashing down onto Black Wind Patriarch with overwhelming force.
Black Wind Patriarch was immersed in intense combat with 'Zhao Tianyou,' concentrating fully, like a crossbow arrow ready to shoot, instinctively and fiercely countering any attack towards him.
He hadn't even had time to think about who had ambushed him when Black Wind swept towards the source of the voice in a sky-covering manner.
Feeling the terrifying power of the golden pagoda, he hesitated not a moment to retreat swiftly, his body vanishing in the Black Wind and disappearing without a trace.
Yet, the golden pagoda was even more terrifying than he imagined; as the golden light rotated, an invisible pressure instantly dispersed all Black Wind raging between heaven and earth, causing Black Wind Patriarch's body to stumble from mid-air.
Before he could react, he felt an overwhelming pressure like a colossal mountain bearing down.
His vision went dark, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he felt his mana and primordial spirit being sealed by the golden light. Quickly, his body shrank and was taken into the golden pagoda.
The suppression of Black Wind Patriarch by the golden pagoda happened in an instant, meanwhile, Yi Wushuang faced a terrifying crisis.
Even though Black Wind Patriarch's casual strike held the power to annihilate a Celestial Human, Yi Wushuang couldn't withstand it at all, merely feeling the chilling aura made him instantly faint.
"Young Master, be careful!"
The old servant hidden in the void behind him was shocked upon seeing this, shouting angrily: "Young Master, be careful."
This old servant, named Chong Shan, had been beside Yi Mingshu for decades, knowing many secrets of Celestial Law-Controlling Sect.
Though he lacked a naturally bestowed Immortal Bone, Yi Mingshu granted him an immense Creation, enabling him to have the strength of a Celestial Human First Layer. Moreover, he practiced one of Celestial Law-Controlling Sect's inherited Taoist Skills—the Mountain and River Map.
The Mountain and River Map embodies the essence of mountains and rivers, painted into a scroll, possessing both the wonder of landscapes and the theory of the void.
Thus he had always silently followed Yi Wushuang, refraining from acting unless faced with a life-and-death crisis.
His cultivation of the Mountain and River Map holds unique abilities in defense, suppression, and escape, allowing him to flee with Yi Wushuang unless faced with a Celestial Human Fourth Layer strong person.
Now, seeing Black Wind coming swiftly, ready to engulf Yi Wushuang, he broke out in a cold sweat, pushed his own mana to its limits, and unfolded the Mountain and River Map to wrap Yi Wushuang's body.
However, the Black Wind ravaged, instantly corroding the Mountain and River Map into a badly damaged state, the difference in strength between them was too vast, even if Black Wind Patriarch hadn't used full force, it proved difficult to resist.
Fortunately, his timely action to resist for a moment prompted the nine-layer golden pagoda suspended in mid-air to sense Yi Wushuang's life was in danger, spontaneously protecting its master, releasing a wisp of golden light to form an illusory treasure pagoda, safeguarding his body.
As for the group of maidservants and two Half-Step Celestial Humans following him, they weren't as fortunate as Yi Wushuang, being swept into the Black Wind immediately.
Every wisp of Black Wind was like a Steel Saber, directly shredding their bodies apart, their blood and bone fragments swept away, instantly saturating the air in a scene of extreme bloodshed and cruelty.
All this happened in a moment; even Lu Chengfeng was somewhat dumbfounded, the three-zhang Flood Dragon body roared a bit, then re-transformed into a red flame and landed on the ground, manifesting in human form.
The old servant guarding Yi Wushuang shouted vigilantly upon seeing him, "My Young Master is the son of the Sect Leader of Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, fulfilling the Sect Leader's command here, you shall not behave rashly."
Lu Chengfeng now understood the awe-inspiring nature of Celestial Law-Controlling Sect. Among the Thirteen States of the World, the sect was profoundly rooted and posed the most fearsome strength. The Martial World was unaware that Celestial Law-Controlling Sect had already birthed an Immortal.
Before Lu Chengfeng could speak, the nine-layer golden pagoda floating in mid-air, having suppressed Black Wind Patriarch and running out of mana due to a lack of controller, instantly reverted into a golden light and entered Yi Wushuang's brow.
Meanwhile, Black Wind Patriarch seized the opportunity to escape.
However, this old demon's face was extremely dark, as the magical treasure earlier was incredibly powerful; if it were in the hands of another Celestial Human Strong Person, merely by activating it with mana, they could suppress him, even depriving him of the chance to fight back.
Such a fearsome treasure, yet it fell into the hands of merely an ordinary mortal, which was truly a wastage.
Yet he no longer harbored the slightest desire to act against Yi Wushuang, given the presence of such a treasure on him, indicating Yi Mingshu's heavy favor towards his son. To act recklessly would surely invite great disaster.
Black Wind Patriarch understood clearly that whether it was Liu Wu, deemed the foremost in the world, or his claim to be the leader of the Underworld, fundamentally, it was simply because the enormous entity lurking beneath the waters of the Martial World hadn't bared its fangs.
Otherwise, how dare these people claim dominance and become ancestors?
Black Wind Patriarch, weighed down with thoughts, lost all desire to act. Previously, Celestial Law-Controlling Sect had clearly communicated that it wouldn't partake in the affairs of Jade Dragon Mountain and Yun Cang's Red Dragon.
Now suddenly, Yi Wushuang's appearance suggested some unforeseen change?
He stared fixedly at Yi Wushuang, his expression fluctuating unpredictably.
Yi Wushuang hadn't suffered any real harm, just lost consciousness due to the freezing Yin Fiend Qi from the Black Wind. Now, as the magical treasure entered his body, a warm current spread throughout him, gradually reviving him.
As he slowly opened his eyes and realized everything that had happened, he broke out in a cold sweat, feeling some dread. He cursed through gritted teeth, "That Black Wind Old Thief wanted to kill me, truly despicable, truly despicable!"
As his gaze shifted and he saw the Black Wind Ancestor in the distance, he felt somewhat blusterous yet timid. The words he had prepared to shout were swallowed back; although the Golden Pagoda was powerful, he himself lacked the mana needed to activate it.
If the Black Wind Ancestor truly intended to kill him, one magical treasure wouldn't be enough to protect him. After all, the Golden Pagoda contained only three strands of mana; sufficient for protection, but far from enough to kill a Fourth Layer Celestial Human Strong Person.
He sensed that only one strand of mana remained in the Golden Pagoda, and his previously arrogant and aggressive spirit completely vanished.
"The old man is really too stingy, couldn't he have infused a few more strands of mana into this magical treasure?"
"No wonder he only told me to use this treasure for protection."
He felt some dissatisfaction and resentment toward his father, fearing that the old demon would slap him down again, or even try to take his life as he had before.
Thinking of this, he quickly took out the letter his father had written from his bosom, "Black Wind Monster, this is my father's handwritten letter."
When mentioning his father, his voice unconsciously raised a few decibels, "My father has decided to have me bring Fairy Qionghua back to the sect."
Seeing this, Chong Shan quickly and carefully took the letter with both hands and delivered it to the Black Wind Ancestor opposite.
Black Wind Ancestor did not dare to be arrogant either; after taking the letter, he opened it to read. After carefully reviewing the contents word by word, his face turned an iron-blue shade.
"Yi Mingshu, you are simply too bullying, do you intend to treat the old man like a servant?"
In the first half of his life, he had swaggered across the martial world, a formidable demon, but afterward encountered unprecedented humiliation and defeat. It was then that he realized how deep the waters of the martial world truly were.
His hands trembled slightly as he gripped the letter, and then a strand of Black Wind shredded the letter into powder.
"Take the woman you want, and get out!"
Yi Wushuang, being reprimanded so mercilessly, succumbed to his spoiled young master temper, "Black Wind Monster, you..."
"If you speak half a word more, I'll crush your skull." Black Wind Ancestor's voice was as cold as frost.
Yi Wushuang opened his mouth but ultimately dared not speak further, his face reddening. He gritted his teeth and instructed Chong Shan beside him, "Elder Shan, bring Fairy Qionghua, we're leaving."
He was unwilling to stay here a moment longer; every time he faced the Black Wind Ancestor, this old demon could invade brazenly. Yi Wushuang felt his face burn, never having hated someone so intensely.
Upon hearing, Chong Shan executed the Mountain and River Map without hesitation. A painting appeared without warning in the Heaven-Reaching Hall, enveloping Du Mengyan's body, then transformed into a scroll that fell into Chong Shan's hand.
Though the Mountain and River Map had the wonder of void, sealing a person within the map long-term required an endless consumption of mana.
Unwilling to delay, Chong Shan grasped the Mountain and River Map with one hand and placed the other on Yi Wushuang's shoulder. Both figures instantly became ethereal and vanished without a trace in a blink.
Everything happened suddenly; Void Law was extremely rare and mystically unparalleled, it was only now that the elders and disciples in the Heaven-Reaching Hall reacted, exclaiming hurriedly.
"Not good, First Seat!"
"Senior Sister!"
Instinctively, they tried to step out of the hall, but Black Wind Ancestor blocked the hall door, speaking coldly, "From now on, no one is permitted to leave this hall, violators will be killed without mercy."
Bang!
As he spoke, he used the Black Wind to blow the hall door shut, slamming that Profound Iron-forged door closed, then sat cross-legged facing away from the hall, slowly closing his eyes.
Lu Chengfeng quietly watched the scene unfold in front of him, only feigning anger and shouting once Yi Wushuang was taken away by Chong Shan, "How dare you rob the Princess Consort, this is outrageous, stop right there!"
His body was engulfed in flames, transforming into a Flood Dragon, chasing directly toward the mountain below.
All that was left of Jade Dragon Mountain was a scene of desolation.
Bloody bodies, corpses, scattered stones...
