Become a fairy alone

"The Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin!" Wei Dongming's expression changed drastically. The only one in this area with such a terrifying ghostly aura was the legendary Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin.

In the face of such a powerful figure, he and Kongyan were completely useless, and if they were even a little slower to escape, they would be doomed.

Wei Dongming looked at the arm that was suppressed under the mountain. Even if the other party was a Heavenly Dragon Realm expert, he was now a tiger fallen into the plains. It seemed unrealistic for him to deal with the Suiyin Ghost Ancestor.

If it weren't for Hua Qingying, Wei Dongming felt he would probably have run away. He had indeed promised to serve her, but what lay before him and Kong Yan were two enemies he couldn't face.

Upon hearing Wei Dongming's exclamation, Kong Yan's heart sank to the bottom.

He didn't have Wei Dongming's rich inner thoughts. He just felt that after planning for this matter for so long, and seeing success on the verge of being achieved, he didn't expect that the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin would suddenly appear. Now, he was afraid that the project would most likely fail.

Wei Dongming and Kong Yan both felt that the situation was beyond repair, but Suiyin Ghost Ancestor, who had been smug just moments before, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

The rune array on the surface of the mountain in front of them suddenly changed, merging with the spatial fluctuations of the mountain itself to form a terrifying spatial vortex.

The enormous ghostly claw that had been terrifyingly close to Lu Xiaotian's arm was now being sucked in by the spatial vortex.

Not only that, but from even further away, an old man with a goatee dressed in a Yinshan ghost robe was being dragged over by this terrifying spatial force, his face filled with shock and anger.

Without a doubt, this old man was none other than the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin, but this legendary old monster appeared to be furious and embarrassed at this moment.

"What a Supreme Heavenly Dragon! This old man admits defeat. Shall we call it quits?" said the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin in a cold voice.

"Okay, but I'll have to trouble you to stay inside this mountain for a while." Lu Xiaotian's voice rang out from inside the mountain.

Then Wei Dongming and Kongyan were astonished to find that although the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyang was trying his best to resist, he was still being dragged little by little into the spatial vortex formed by the talisman array.

They originally thought that Lu Xiaotian used this set of talismans to move the entire spatial mountain to help them escape, but they did not expect that the real intention was on the Suiyin Ghost Ancestor.

Thinking back to 40,000 years ago, before they even began refining this talisman array, Lu Xiaotian instructed them to conceal their auras, reminding them that a powerful figure from the Ghost Path was watching them.

It turned out that Lu Xiaotian had already started preparing at that time. However, the entire spatial rune array was refined by the two of them from beginning to end. It was clearly for Lu Xiaotian to use to escape from the predicament. Wei Tongming and the other person were both very certain of this. At the beginning, the rune array was indeed moving the spatial mountain, which could not be faked.

It was only after the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin made his move that the power of the great formation suddenly changed.

Wei Dongming had little contact with Lu Xiaotian, and a sense of fear inexplicably arose in his heart. Even though he and Kong Yan were personally involved, they had not been able to discover when Lu Xiaotian had done the trick.

This level of skill and cunning was truly unparalleled among those around him; not only did he deceive the two of them, but the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin also fell into the other party's trap.

After the initial shock, the two quickly felt relieved. The Suiyin Ghost Ancestor, who had caught them off guard, seemed to be nothing special to the Dragon Lord.

"Arrogant! Your talisman array may be powerful, but it may not be able to drag this old man into the spatial mountain." Suiyin Ghost Ancestor sneered.

With things already at this point, there was no time to regret his oversight. The Lord of the Yin Ghosts reached out and tossed a huge blue-green bone cauldron down from the void. A vast ghostly aura surged out from it, resisting the suction force from the spatial vortex, and for a moment managed to hold its ground.

However, the expression on Suiyin Ghost Ancestor's face was ferocious, clearly indicating that he was not having an easy time in this confrontation. At the same time, Suiyin Ghost Ancestor also felt somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, the opponent only had one severed arm; otherwise, the trouble would have been much greater. No wonder the Four Heavenly Emperors had to join forces to deal with him; such strength and cunning are truly terrifying.

The enormous blue-green bone cauldron was something he had spent countless years crafting, and the ten drops of Sui Emperor Ghost Saliva inside were the culmination of his painstaking efforts. Yet, it was now being violently consumed by the opponent's talisman array, causing the Sui Yin Ghost Ancestor's heart to bleed.
"Make a move and force him into the vortex," Lu Xiaotian said calmly.

If I were here, I could easily destroy this Suiyin Ghost Ancestor by using the talisman array and the turbulent spatial power of this place.

Even with just one arm, and despite prior planning and the two spatial rune arrays that Wei Dongming and Kongyan had spent tens of thousands of years refining, it wouldn't be enough to trap and kill the opponent in one fell swoop.

However, Lu Xiaotian had already planned for the situation. With him keeping things in check, Kong Yan and Wei Dongming could play a much more significant role.

There was another old monster from the Heavenly Magnetic Demon Sect who was quite powerful, but Lu Xiaotian didn't trust him. He had already reached his limit in restraining the Suiyin Ghost Ancestor to this extent and couldn't withstand any unexpected changes.

According to Lu Xiaotian's calculations, Wei Dongming and Kongyan have improved their strength considerably over the past tens of thousands of years, so working together to trap and kill this old monster shouldn't be a problem.

"Alright!" Kongyan responded to Lu Xiaotian's order immediately and struck out several times at Suiyin Ghost Ancestor.

Wei Dongming also unleashed a giant axe, forcefully cleaving it towards the blue-green bone cauldron.

Suiyin Ghost Ancestor's expression changed drastically. The power contained in this spatial rune array was secondary; the key was that the rune array was like a giant hand stirring up the spatial power within the mountain. Under the spatial vortex formed by this enormous force, even he couldn't spare much energy to deal with the attacks from Wei Dongming and the other person for the time being.

"Damn it!" Seeing his Suisian Ghost Cauldron being consumed more and more under the opponent's attack, he was no longer able to fight against the spatial vortex.

The Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin, along with his Suixian Ghost Cauldron, is constantly approaching the spatial mountain, but he has no way to stop it.

"This dragon clan expert is already past his prime. Even if I don't take back this arm, he won't escape the pursuit of the entire Immortal Realm. The two of you are serving him now, which can only keep me trapped for a while. Have you thought about the consequences of completely offending me? It's not too late to pull back from the brink and change your ways."

Having lost the ability to fight back, the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin had no choice but to turn his attention to Wei Dongming and Kongyan.

"Isn't it a bit too late to try and win us over now?" Kong Yan laughed. He admired the Dragon Lord's scheming and methods to the point of prostration. What he thought was a great crisis was easily resolved by the Dragon Lord, and the opponent was an old monster like the Suiyin Ghost Ancestor.

Wei Dongming also had a faint smile on his lips. If he couldn't save Hua Qingying, he could directly refuse Lu Xiaotian's request, let alone the Suiyin Ghost Ancestor. As for the Immortal Realm that the other party mentioned, that was a matter for the future. He should take care of the present first.

Seeing that persuasion failed, the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin was filled with resentment and actually gave up resisting, directly flying into the spatial vortex. For the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin at this point, the matter was already settled. Since he could not withstand the attacks of Wei Dongming and the other two, continuing would only increase his consumption.

His Suisui Ghost Cauldron might be damaged under extreme consumption. It would be better to accept reality, directly escape into the spatial mountain, preserve more of his vital energy, and then find a way to escape later.

Only after seeing that the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin had completely disappeared did Wei Dongming and the other man breathe a sigh of relief.

"The Dragon Lord's plans are flawless, truly admirable." Wei Dongming cupped his hands in the direction of the severed arm.

In his memory, the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin had always been a legendary figure in this region, and his first encounter with him was under these circumstances. Moreover, the Ghost Ancestor had only just made his move, and soon found himself in trouble. It felt as if the veil of mystery surrounding the Ghost Ancestor had been suddenly lifted. Wei Dongming knew very well that it wasn't that the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin wasn't terrifying, but rather that this Dragon Lord was far more unfathomable.

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to the two of you. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to defeat this old ghost in my current state," Lu Xiaotian said calmly.

Trapping a Suiyin Ghost Ancestor didn't bring him any sense of accomplishment. If it weren't for the old monster's sinister intentions, Lu Xiaotian could have tried to escape 20,000 years ago, but he's been dragged out until now.

"Dragon Lord, shall we continue now?" Kongyan asked. He had been away from the Dragon Realm for too long and did not want to delay any longer.

"Let's continue." Lu Xiaotian nodded, unaware of the situation regarding the other severed limbs and the Dragon Domain. He had been here long enough.

Wei Dongming and Kong Yan then continued to activate the talisman array as Lu Xiaotian requested.

Although the Ghost Ancestor of Suiyin was trapped inside the spatial mountain, he had been keeping a close eye on the movements outside. Caught off guard, he was trapped here by Lu Xiaotian's severed arm, along with two juniors.

The other side is definitely trying to escape, and they need to move the entire spatial mountain. If they show even the slightest weakness, he'll have a chance to break free. Then he'll show these guys what real power is.

Lu Xiaotian had spent tens of thousands of years refining this spatial rune array, and he had already considered all possible changes. Having finally trapped the Suiyin Ghost Ancestor, how could he let the other party have his way?

The entire mountain was composed of countless spatial fragments, compressed together by the power of the interface. This immense power of the interface could not be moved by brute force. Lu Xiaotian could only tear a gash around his arm for a fleeting moment; he could not overturn the entire spatial mountain. Suiyin Ghost Ancestor's plan was useless against Lu Xiaotian.

Under the guidance of Wei Dongming and Kong Yan, the entire spatial rune array continued to operate. The runes on the surface of the mountain circulated faster and faster.
A slight tremor ran through the massive mountain. Many runes, seemingly pushed to their limits, crumbled under the backlash of spatial power.

Kong Yan and Wei Dongming both turned red in the face and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".

A soft cracking sound rang out, and a hint of joy appeared on the faces of the two injured men.

A large number of runes surged toward the severed arm, and some cracks appeared at the joints of the spatial fragments centered on the arm.

*Whoosh!* Before the cracks could spread further, a surge of immense dimensional power caused them to heal once more. However, when the two looked again, the severed arm that should have been suppressed within the mountain had vanished.

The next instant, the severed arm transformed into Lu Xiaotian's phantom image, appearing not far from the two of them.

"Congratulations, Dragon Lord, on your escape!" Wei Dongming and the other man said excitedly.

Kongyan was happy because he finally had a chance to return to the Dragon Domain. As for Wei Dongming, it was because Hua Qingying would be saved after Lu Xiaotian was freed.

"Thank you both for your hard work." Lu Xiaotian sighed softly. After being trapped here for so many years, he couldn't help but feel like he had escaped a cage and seen the light of day again.

"Dragon Lord, when shall we set off to return?" Kongyan asked.

"This matter is not urgent. Let's first gather some alchemy materials and try to heal Hua Qingying's injuries on the way back to the Dragon Domain," Lu Xiaotian said.

"Thank you, Dragon Lord." Wei Dongming quickly expressed his gratitude, his face unable to hide his thanks.

In his view, Lu Xiaotian's greatest value was gone after he escaped. As long as Lu Xiaotian could keep his promise, that was enough. As for the timing, Wei Dongming didn't dare to make too many demands. No matter how anxious he was, he was worried about displeasing the other party. But he didn't expect that the first thing Lu Xiaotian did after escaping was to collect various alchemy materials.

"You're the ones who should be doing the work," Lu Xiaotian said with a smile.

"It's enough that I'm troubling you with such a small matter, Dragon Lord," Wei Dongming said. He was already grateful for the other party's attitude; he couldn't possibly ask for more.

Lu Xiaotian waved his hand, and the mountain opposite him rippled with space. Hua Qingying and another old monster from the Heavenly Magnetic Demon Sect appeared one after the other.

“There are quite a few treasures needed to refine pills. It would be much more convenient to take this demon to the Heavenly Magnetic Demon Sect and have them do these chores,” Lu Xiaotian said.

"Thank you, Dragon Lord." Wei Dongming was greatly encouraged. The other party said he wouldn't bother with these trivial matters, but this arrangement was more effective than him running himself ragged. Only Lu Xiaotian's personal intervention could persuade the entire Heavenly Magnetic Demon Sect to work for him.

Lu Xiaotian didn't want to stay in this area any longer, so without further ado, the group took Hua Qingying and headed straight for the Heavenly Magnetic Demon Sect.

Half a month later, they arrived at the headquarters of the Heavenly Magnetic Demon Sect.

"Greetings, Dragon Lord!" Several old monsters, including the Magnetic Dock Demon Lord, bowed to Lu Xiaotian, who was seated in the sect leader's seat.

Upon hearing the news, the Demon Lord of Ciwu rushed back from out of town. He was very reluctant to meet Lu Xiaotian. When he heard that Lu Xiaotian had escaped and had even arrived at the main altar, the Demon Lord of Ciwu broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't want to come, but he didn't want to bear Lu Xiaotian's wrath even more.

“Your Demonic Sect is indeed quite powerful.” Lu Xiaotian glanced at the group of people, said nothing more, and directly inspected the Heavenly Pool Demonic Sect’s treasury, selected some useful items, and then handed them a list.

Besides the materials he needed to refine pills for Hua Qingying, Lu Xiaotian also took the opportunity to collect a lot of treasures.

The Demon Lord of Ciwu and his fellow old monsters breathed a sigh of relief. They could accept that the other party only wanted a few things, but fearing they might anger Lu Xiaotian, they wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible. The Heavenly Demon Sect spared no effort in gathering a large number of treasures. Only after watching the group completely disappear from the main hall did they truly breathe a sigh of relief.
