All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Mes

With three restraints applied simultaneously, Ye Fan's figure froze completely.

"It's over..." His heart sank, and all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained away.

Hua Wuyai walked up to him, looking down at him with a smug expression on his face.

"Ye Fan, you've finally met your match!" he sneered. "Back in the Qinling Mountains, how arrogant were you all? And now? You've fallen into my hands!"

Ye Fan gritted his teeth and glared at him, his eyes filled with rage.

"You ruthless lineage, you will not have a good end!" he roared. "Chu Yang will not let you go!"

"Chu Yang?" Hua Wuyai scoffed. "You think he can save you?"

"I have some news for you: the moment you fell into our hands, the people of the Nine Li Dynasty made their move."

"Chu Yang is currently busy dealing with the siege of the Nine Li Dynasty; how could he have time to rescue you?"

Ye Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.

The Nine Li Dynasty?

How dare they attack Chu Yang again?

"Impossible!" he shouted. "With Chu Yang's strength, the Nine Li Dynasty is no match for him!"

Hua Wuyai chuckled: "Who said we only have the Nine Li Dynasty as an ally?"

Ye Fan's heart sank, and he vaguely sensed something was wrong.

"Who else have you... allied with?"

Hua Wuyai did not answer, but the smile on his face grew increasingly ferocious.

“You don’t need to know that much,” he said coldly, “because you’re about to die.”

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a terrifying power gathered in his palm.

"Ye Fan, prepare to die!"

He slapped Ye Fan's head with his palm.

At this critical moment——

Boom!

A deafening roar came from afar, followed by an extremely terrifying aura sweeping over.

Hua Wuyai's expression changed drastically, and he quickly withdrew his hand and retreated.

"Who goes there?" he shouted sternly.

Deep in the dense forest, a figure walked slowly towards them.

He was an old man dressed in a gray robe, with a withered face and a profound aura, as if he were one with heaven and earth.

"It's you?" Hua Wuyai's pupils suddenly contracted, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

That old man was none other than Gai Jiuyou!

……

The appearance of Gai Jiuyou stunned everyone present.

Hua Wuyai's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock and fear.

“Gai Jiuyou? How did you get here?” he asked in a trembling voice.

Gai Jiuyou glanced at him indifferently, without answering.

He simply stepped in front of Ye Fan, and with a casual wave of his hand, the three binding divine lights were easily torn apart like thin paper.

Ye Fan regained his freedom, panting heavily, his face full of surprise.

"Senior Gai!"

Gai Jiuyou nodded and turned to look at Hua Wuyai and the others.

"The ruthless lineage ends here today," he said calmly, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable authority.

Hua Wuyai's face was ashen, but his heart was in turmoil.

Cover the Nine Netherworlds!
A legendary quasi-emperor-level powerhouse from nine thousand years ago!
He is still alive?

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he does not seem to be as weak as the Jiuli Dynasty claimed!

“Senior Gai, this is a private grudge between my Ruthless lineage and Ye Fan. Please do not interfere.” Hua Wuyai suppressed his fear and said in a deep voice.

Gai Jiuyou gently shook his head.

"Ye Fan is a close friend of my friend, so naturally I can't just sit idly by."

"Furthermore, your ruthless lineage has joined forces with the Nine Li Dynasty to deal with my friend. I cannot ignore this matter."

Hua Wuyai's expression changed again.

He knew who Gai Jiuyou's "friend" was.

Chu Yang!

Or rather, Tu Fei!
It turns out they had anticipated that the Ruthless Clan would take action, so they sent Gai Jiuyou to protect Ye Fan in advance!

"Senior Gai, do you really intend to become an enemy of my Ruthless Clan?" Hua Wuyai asked through gritted teeth.

Gai Jiuyou smiled faintly: "An enemy? I'm only here to save someone; there's no question of being an enemy."

"But if you insist on harming Ye Fan, then I will have no choice but to take action."

Hua Wuyai's expression shifted constantly, clearly weighing the pros and cons.

After a moment, he finally made a decision.

"withdraw!"

At his command, the cultivators of the ruthless lineage retreated one after another.

Hua Wuyai gave Gai Jiuyou a deep look, his eyes filled with resentment and fear.

"Senior Gai, we, the Ruthless Clan, will remember what happened today."

After saying that, he turned and left, disappearing into the depths of the dense forest in a flash.

Watching their departing figures, Ye Fan breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you for saving me, Senior Gai." He bowed to Gai Jiuyou.

Gai Jiuyou waved his hand: "No need to be so polite, Chu Yang asked me to do this."

Ye Fan was taken aback: "Brother Chu? He knew the Ruthless Clan would attack me?"

Gai Jiuyou nodded: "He asked me to protect you secretly, just in case."

"It seems his fears were justified."

A warm feeling welled up in Ye Fan's heart.

Chu Yang...

This mentor and friend has always been silently protecting him.

"Senior Gai, how is Brother Chu now?" Ye Fan asked with some concern. "I heard from Hua Wuyai that the Nine Li Dynasty is besieging him..."

A faint smile appeared on Gai Jiuyou's lips.

"Don't worry, with Chu Yang's strength, those clowns from the Nine Li Dynasty can't do anything to him."

Ye Fan was finally relieved.

Gai Jiuyou looked at him, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

"Ye Fan, you have great talent, and given time, you will surely achieve great things," he said slowly. "But you are still too weak now and need more experience and accumulation."

"Chu Yang is right. Ultimately, the path of cultivation requires you to venture out on your own. But before that, you need to protect your own life."

Ye Fan nodded silently, keeping these words in mind.

“Let’s go.” Gai Jiuyou turned and walked into the depths of the dense forest. “I’ll see you off.”

Ye Fan followed behind him, and the two figures quickly disappeared into the vast forest.

……

The stronghold of the Ruthless Clan.

Hua Yunfei stood alone at the highest point of the fortress, gazing at the dark horizon in the distance, his face so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

The plan failed.

The meticulously planned ambush was unexpectedly intercepted by Gai Jiuyou halfway through.

That damned old man, didn't he say he was already past his prime?
Why does he still look so powerful when he appears?
"Yunfei."

An old voice came from behind.

Hua Yunfei turned around and saw the Supreme Elder Hua Wuji walking slowly towards him.

"Grand Elder," he bowed respectfully, his voice tinged with remorse, "this disciple has failed in his duty; please punish me, Grand Elder."

Hua Wuji waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.

“This isn’t your fault,” he said calmly. “We underestimated Chu Yang’s caution.”

"Gai Jiuyou has been secretly protecting Ye Fan, which means Chu Yang anticipated our actions."

Hua Yunfei gritted his teeth and said, "Then what should we do next? Are we just going to give up like this?" Hua Wuji was silent for a moment, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

“Of course, it won’t end like this,” he said slowly. “If we fail this time, there will be another time.”

"Ye Fan possesses the Ancient Sacred Body. As long as he lives, he will be a major threat to my Ruthless lineage."

"We must find an opportunity to eliminate him as soon as possible."

Hua Yunfei nodded: "This disciple understands."

Hua Wuji turned around, gazing at the vast, desolate land in the distance, his voice soft and distant.

"However, we need to make some preparations before that."

"The appearance of Gai Jiuyou indicates that Chu Yang's side is even stronger than we anticipated."

"If we continue to fight like this, each going our own way, we'll probably never win."

Hua Yunfei's eyes lit up: "What the Supreme Elder means is..."

Hua Wuji nodded: "It's time to unite more forces."

"The Xiao family, the Wang family, the Li family, the Divine Martial Hall... and those forces that suffered losses in the Battle of Qinling."

"As long as we can integrate these forces and form a powerful alliance, no matter how powerful Chu Yang is, he can't possibly be a match for all of us."

Hua Yunfei nodded thoughtfully.

Beyond the Heavens, the Main Hall.

Chu Yang sat upright in the main seat in the center of the hall, with a communication jade slip placed on the jade table in front of him.

Gai Jiuyou's voice was slowly emanating from within the jade slip.

"...Ye Fan is safe now. The ruthless clan retreated after seeing me make a move."

Chu Yang nodded, but there was no sign of relief on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Gai," he said in a deep voice, "but this matter is not over yet."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the jade slip, then Gai Jiuyou's voice rang out again: "What do you plan to do?"

Chu Yang slowly stood up, walked to the entrance of the hall, and looked at the vast starry sky outside.

"The Nine Li Dynasty has gone too far in bullying us."

His voice was soft, yet it carried a chilling undertone.

"I gave them chances, again and again. But they just wouldn't listen, insisting on going against me to the very end."

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Gai Jiuyou's voice held a hint of surprise: "You want to...?"

"Come to their door." Chu Yang turned around, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "Go to the Nine Li Dynasty in person."

A long silence fell on the other end of the jade slip.

After a long silence, Gai Jiuyou finally spoke, "Are you sure? The Jiuli Dynasty has a history of hundreds of thousands of years and a profound foundation. Although that quasi-emperor ancestor is old, he is still alive."

A faint smile appeared on Chu Yang's lips.

"A quasi-emperor?" he murmured. "If it were a quasi-emperor at his peak, I might be somewhat wary. But what kind of trouble can a dying old man possibly cause?"

Gai Jiuyou fell silent again.

Having spent a long time with Chu Yang, he naturally knew just how terrifying this young man's strength was.

However, the Jiuli Dynasty is, after all, an immortal dynasty with a history of hundreds of thousands of years. If we rashly set foot on their door, what if something unexpected happens...?

"Are you going alone?" he asked.

Chu Yang nodded: "One person is enough."

"My purpose in coming here is not to destroy the Jiuli Dynasty, but to teach them a lesson."

"A lesson that will never be forgotten."

His voice was calm, as if he were talking about something trivial.

But Gai Jiuyou sensed a chilling killing intent within this calm.

"Alright." He finally nodded. "I will continue to protect Ye Fan, so you can go without worry."

"But there's one thing you must remember—"

"If things go wrong, retreat immediately. Don't be reckless."

Chu Yang smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern, Senior Gai."

Communication was interrupted, and the light on the jade slip gradually dimmed.

Chu Yang put the jade slip into his sleeve and turned to walk out of the hall.

He had only taken a few steps when a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"where are you going?"

Yun Ning stood at the palace gate, dressed in white as snow, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

Chu Yang stopped and looked at the woman who had been with him for so long, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

“The Nine Li Dynasty,” he said softly.

Yun Ning's expression changed: "You're going to cause them trouble?"

"I'm not looking for trouble," Chu Yang shook his head, "I'm going to clean up the mess."

"The Nine Li Dynasty has repeatedly provoked my bottom line. If I don't teach them a lesson, they might really think that the Outer Heaven is easy to bully."

Yun Ning remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

"I'll go with you."

Chu Yang shook his head: "No need, you stay here and help me guard the gate."

"I can go by myself."

Yun Ning wanted to say something, but Chu Yang stopped her with a gesture.

"Don't worry, the mere Nine Li Dynasty can't take my life." He gently stroked Yun Ning's nose, a tender smile playing on his lips. "Wait for me to return."

After saying that, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Yun Ning stood at the entrance of the palace, gazing in the direction he had disappeared, her beautiful eyes filled with a complex expression.

"careful……"

She murmured softly, her voice drifting away on the wind.

……

Jiuli Imperial City.

The night was deep, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, casting a cool, clear light.

Within the imperial city, all was silent, broken only by the occasional sound of the night watchman's drum.

Deep within the ancestral hall, the Nine Li Ancestor sat cross-legged, cultivating that evil art.

Since being injured by Chu Yang last time, he has been cultivating day and night, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The evil technique was even more effective than he had expected. In just half a month, his injuries recovered by 70-80%, and his strength even showed signs of a breakthrough.

"In another three to five months, I will be back to my peak condition!"

He was secretly delighted and practiced even more diligently.

However, at that moment, a chilling aura suddenly descended from the sky!

The Nine Li Ancestor shuddered and suddenly opened his eyes.

"who?"

He demanded an answer in a stern voice, which echoed throughout the ancestral hall.

No one answered him.

But that aura grew closer and stronger, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

The Nine Li Ancestor's expression changed drastically, and he quickly got up and rushed out of the hall.

He was stunned as soon as he rushed out of the ancestral hall.

Above the imperial city, a figure in white stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at everything below.

The moonlight shone on that young and handsome face, revealing a faint smile.

It was Chu Yang!

"You…" The Nine Li Ancestor's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with disbelief. "How did you get here?"

Chu Yang looked down at him, his smile deepening.

"Ancestor Jiuli, it's been a long time." His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present. "Since our last meeting, have you been well?"

The Nine Li Ancestor's face was ashen, and his cloudy old eyes were filled with rage.

"Chu Yang! How dare you trespass into my Jiuli Imperial City!" (End of Chapter)
