Chapter 412 Ancestor, Mighty! (Please Subscribe)

Even after Chen Yi said that, the Wei Dynasty soldiers, cultivators, and martial artists guarding the ferry still bowed respectfully.

As they stood up, their eyes were all fixed intently on Chen Yi.

Compared to the people of Wei Dynasty, Dongzhou, Nanman and Xilu on Tianyuan Continent, those who guarded this place were the most timely in obtaining information about the Taizhou Mountain battlefield.

Almost as soon as a major event happens there, news of it will reach the ferry crossing in Beizhili within a day, and in even greater detail.

At the same time, most of the news that could be spread outside was not directly spread from the ferry crossing, but was only spread by the garrison troops or the night watchmen after being approved by the Kyoto Prefecture.

Only in places like Sifanglou would some soldiers sell information for money, but it was mostly fragmented information, and it was difficult to obtain detailed intelligence.

Therefore, the people guarding the ferry knew more about the details of the previous battle at Taizhou Mountain than the outside world.

The story revolves around Chen Yi's role, his discovery of Master Ziying's betrayal, his efforts to break the deadlock, and his slaughter of the demons of the Demon Court.

After all, most of the soldiers who were stationed here had backgrounds from the Taizhou Mountain battlefield and were not assigned by the Wei Dynasty.

That's why they were so excited to see Ancestor Chen Yi arrive in person.

This is the only newly appointed ancestor in nearly a century, and he is more legendary and generates more buzz than other ancestors.

The fact that Chen Yi transformed from a commoner on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield to an ancestor in just three months is unprecedented in a thousand years.

It is unlikely that a similar figure will appear again in the many years to come.

Seeing the situation around him, Chen Yi smiled and left without lingering.

After his figure disappeared.

The monks guarding the Beizhili ferry who had been bowing to him stood up, still with smiles on their faces.

Of course, some people were even more excited.

"I never expected the rumors to be true. It really is Ancestor Chen Yi who has personally returned to the Wei Dynasty."

"Now you know I was right, right?"

“I said it long ago: Lin Xueru, the number one prodigy, is the patriarch’s fiancée. In addition, the Flower Fairy, one of the top ten prodigies, is also a disciple of the Taixu Dao Sect. For both public and private reasons, Patriarch Chen Yi has a reason to come back and guide them to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield.”

"Haha...that's true."

"Now that we have been able to behold the glory of our ancestor, we can die without regret."

"It's just a pity that when he went to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, he didn't go through our ferry crossing, but through another passage."

"Otherwise, we would be even more honored."

"It's the same now. Ancestor Chen Yi comes from the Chen family of Marquis Wu'an. He is a proper person from the capital city. He is also the Prince of Tai'an of our Great Wei Dynasty. His status is the same as ours."

"That's true..."

These cultivators guarding the ferry crossing in Beizhili were probably too bored with their daily lives, so when they bumped into Chen Yi, they started talking non-stop.

Immediately, discussions arose incessantly.

Such a commotion naturally reached the ears of some people hiding nearby.

For example, the guards from the Night Watch Office, the people from the Four Directions Tower, and some members of aristocratic families, etc.

Upon receiving the news, aside from their own excitement, they immediately relayed the information back to their respective factions.

Those within the imperial city were the first to receive the news.

Next came the powerful families, clans, and sacred sites of the seventeen prefectures of the Wei Dynasty.

Finally, intelligence organizations like Sifanglou and their black market branches in various locations will begin selling this information to the public one after another.

Some clever people would even hang up a banner that reads: "The Shocking Secrets of Taizhou Mountain: A Few Things About Ancestor Chen Yi".

Regardless of whether it's true or not, just by presenting such a statement, those people in the martial arts world will all ask questions, and they will all be interested in "Chen Yi," this newly promoted ancestor of the human race.

However, Chen Yi didn't care about this.

After leaving the ferry crossing in Beizhili, he did not go directly to Kyoto Prefecture, but instead went to Beixiong Pass.

I've come here again.

Although the pass was still heavily guarded by soldiers of the Taishan Army, their expressions were much more relaxed compared to their previous visits.

Even though the wind and snow are raging beyond the Great Wall, and the distant Ten Thousand Mountains are deep and white, their roars of the past are gone.

Upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to see that in the area covered by the thick layer of ice on the city wall, there are very few remains of demon corpses and bloodstains.

It seems the Demon Court hasn't come here to "Leap the Dragon Gate" for a long time.

Chen Yi's gaze swept past Beixiong Pass and looked towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains to the north. Under the influence of his mental perception, he understood the current situation of the Demon Court.

Previously, the Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon had indeed given his all, taking away most of the Great Demon Kings, Demon Kings, and Demon Generals. As a result, there are now very few Great Demon Kings among the various demon strongholds and demon clan territories within the Ten Thousand Mountains.

In a demon stronghold or a demon clan's territory, even the existence of a single great demon king is a powerful existence.

Most of the mountain peaks are guarded by demon kings at the first-grade or grandmaster levels.

Especially in the vast outer regions, demon generals were stationed atop the mountains, while patrols of lesser demons wandered around, occasionally letting out a roar to assert their dominance.

If Chen Yi hadn't been here before and knew the situation of the Demon Court and the Wind and Moon Demon Emperor, he would have thought that this place had been slaughtered by others.

After a while.

Chen Yi carefully read through it, recalling the instructions given by the White Mountain Ancestor, and pondered to himself:

"It's unlikely that the Demon Court will make a comeback anytime soon."

"Unless the Demon Court regains the upper hand on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, given the current state of the Ten Thousand Mountains, it will probably be difficult for them to recover to their previous strength within decades or even centuries."

"Compared to them, the situation for the human race is only better."

Having made up his mind, Chen Yi traveled directly to a point a thousand miles outside the pass and called out loudly:
"I have come here today not to commit further bloodshed, so I will use this sword as a boundary. I hope all the demons of the Ten Thousand Mountains will remember this: cross this boundary—die!"

The words fell.

Chen Yi lightly patted the Spring Rain Sword at his waist, his body surrounded by a murderous sword intent, and his divine power instantly enveloped the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Then, the divine intent of a giant white tiger appeared in the sky, and a booming roar resounded.

"Roar--"

The next moment, a massive silver-white sword, stretching across the sky and spanning tens of thousands of miles, appeared, seemingly the weapon of the White Tiger God.

It fell suddenly.

bass!
With just a crisp and melodious ringing sound, the sword intent struck directly between the outer mountains of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

After the sword light disappeared into the earth, there was only a moment of silence before the vast Hundred Thousand Mountains began to tremble.

It was as if countless giant hands were stirring inside from below, pushing inward like ocean waves, and in an instant, a bottomless chasm appeared.

The ravine was a thousand feet wide, and within it, wisps of murderous sword intent flickered slowly, dancing like fireflies.

—The entire outer area was split in two by Chen Yi's sword!
"Roar!"

"Chen Yi, you human, how dare you!"

Only then, deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains, did one of the great demon kings left behind to guard the demon court notice the commotion outside and roar towards them:
"His Majesty the Demon Emperor has already sent a message to us, stating that there will be a temporary truce with the human race. Why are you still taking this action?"

"Do you know that that sword strike just now has already caused the deaths of countless young men of my Demon Court?"

Chen Yi looked at it from afar, along with the four great demon kings beside it, and slightly curled his lip.

"A demon king at the fifth level of supernatural powers should just shut up."

"Although I truly do not wish to commit murder this time, if you dare to provoke me again, I will not hesitate to slay you with my sword!"

"You!?" The phantom of the great demon king appeared in the sky. Just as it was about to speak again, the divine will of the white tiger in the sky slammed down with its claws, tearing the phantom to shreds.

"..."

Seeing this, the other great demon kings quickly grabbed it, whispered something to it, and then didn't utter another sound.

Chen Yi stared into the distance for a moment before a smile appeared on his face. He reached out and summoned the Spring Rain Sword back into its sheath. "You can tell the Wind and Moon Demon Queen about this and see if she will order you to head south to the Xiong Pass!"

After saying that, Chen Yi left without lingering.

Upon hearing his words, the great demon kings and even the demons within the Hundred Thousand Mountains were naturally furious.

But now they are also aware of the situation of the Demon Court.

It should be noted that back when the Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon was still alive, Chen Yi still managed to slaughter millions of demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains with his own strength.

Now that the Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon is gone, and the other Demon Court Ancestors are also absent, there are no demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains who can stop Chen Yi.

Therefore, no matter what they thought, they dared not speak again.

In contrast, the nearby Beixiong Pass was also stunned by the scene before it.

The soldiers, especially those who had been standing on the city wall looking towards the Ten Thousand Mountains, almost rubbed their eyes until they went blind.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains were once peaceful.

Suddenly, the weather changed dramatically, and a massive, boundless sword light descended from the sky.

It also cleaved a bottomless abyss into the outer edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains with the force of thunder.

"Was it Ancestor Chen Yi who made the move just now?"

"I heard it too. That person did indeed call himself Chen Yi, and he said something about using this as a boundary, ordering the Demon Court not to cross it, and so on."

"Heavens... Our ancestor has returned from Mount Taizhou!"

In an instant, countless soldiers on Beixiong Pass were startled by the commotion outside, and even those resting inside the pass climbed up to look at the distant, star-like curtain of light.

Through the light screen, they could vaguely see the demon army rushing towards them from behind.

However, they soon discovered that the demons who might have come to check on the situation were being cut into two or four pieces one after another as they approached the light barrier, and then shredded into corpses.

"...Our ancestor is mighty."

"Great Ancestor, you are mighty!"

Seeing this, how could the soldiers on Beixiong Pass not know what had happened?

In an instant, everyone's face turned solemn, and they all bowed deeply and began to praise.

Marquis Wang Xidu of Mount Tai stood atop the city gate, looking at the distant scene and listening to the shouts around him, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Good, good... Chen Yi, Ancestor, Prince Tai'an—protect our Great Wei Dynasty!"

Even if, according to seniority, he and Chen Taiping were of similar status and position, and he was considered Chen Yi's elder, in the face of national and family hatred, and in the face of the great trend of the human race and the demon court fighting for ten thousand years, this title of "ancestor" was worthwhile!

"The ancestor is mighty!"

Chen Yi naturally heard these sounds.

However, by the time he heard it, the person had already arrived in Kyoto Prefecture.

To be precise, he went directly to the Duke of Xing's mansion and stood in front of Lin Xueru and the others.

Therefore, he had already forgotten all the shouts that echoed from Beixiong Pass.

"Junior brother?"

Xiao Xuanzhen was the first to spot him. She paused for a moment, then stood up and called out, "Chen Yi, is it really you who's back to pick us up?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueru, Hua Xianzi, and Hua Youxiang, who were standing nearby, finally looked over.

"Brother Yi!"

"Senior Brother Chen!"

Before Chen Yi could even speak, the four women, who had been chatting and laughing, all rushed over.

Lin Xueru threw herself into his arms and held on tightly, refusing to let go.

The flower fairy remained restrained, standing only beside him.

Xiao Xuanzhen was in the same boat, just one step away.

Only Erhua looked eager to try, clearly wanting to pounce on it as well.

Fortunately, the flower fairy reacted quickly and pulled her back, sending a telepathic message: "No, don't be silly."

Chen Yi, holding the little girl in one arm, greeted them with a smile before speaking:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Hearing his voice, Lin Xueru came to her senses, blushed, jumped off him, and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

She remained standing beside Chen Yi, perhaps because she had been too excited and had forgotten that Xiao Xuanzhen and the others were nearby; she was now quite shy.

Chen Yi smiled and flicked her forehead, just like when they had escaped death outside the city. "You too."

Lin Xueru covered her smooth forehead and said shyly, "Brother Yi, you've been gone for so long this time."

Chen Yi smiled and nodded, "It has indeed been a long time."

As he spoke, he gestured for the group to sit down, acting as if he were the master of the house.

However, given Chen Yi's current status, this is quite normal.

Besides, everyone present was quite familiar with him, so they wouldn't have any thoughts about it.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yi briefly recounted his experiences on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield.

Lin Xueru and the others then began to talk about the upcoming battle of geniuses in the Tianyuan Continent.

The little girl's complexion finally improved, and she said with a hint of pride, "I'm the number one prodigy now, aren't I amazing?"

Chen Yi, of course, wouldn't spoil the mood. After offering a few words of praise, he coughed and said, "Now I am also an ancestor of the human race."

"..."

Lin Xueru and the others paused for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.

The little girl secretly pinched him, while Flower Fairy and Xiao Xuanzhen covered their mouths and nodded with smiles, saying that their senior brother and junior brother were amazing.

Erhua then asked, "Senior Brother Chen, have you changed since you became an ancestor?"

Chen Yi thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No change at all."

Aside from being respected wherever he goes, he is still himself, a human sword cultivator.

It's simply that they're a bit stronger.

"What? I thought you'd be surrounded by a retinue of beauties, with maids by your side every night..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Yi flicked his finger, sealing her mouth with his divine will, and said with a laugh, "I think you've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed, and now you want to be punished again, huh?"

"Let me tell you something. I was talking about you with Senior Sister Ning yesterday. She said that there are quite a few more disciples at Sword Peak Mountain now, and when Master is not around, Senior Brother Chang Le can't manage everything by himself."

"So, Junior Sister Erhua, it's time for you to go back to Sword Peak Mountain and show your senior sister's majesty."

Hua Youxiang's eyes widened, and she shook her head repeatedly: "Waaah..."

No! She wants to travel the world with Li Mingyue and Hua Yourong!
