From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 342 Why are you doing this to yourselves?
You Ming and Wu Mo looked at each other, finding it very strange.

The Iron Refining Sect was really unlucky; their mountain gate exploded out of nowhere.

"This has nothing to do with us, we don't need to worry about it."

You Ming waved his hand. The Iron Refining Sect had no connection with Yuanling Mountain. In fact, they had a bit of a disagreement because the sect had refused to help him refine weapons.

Seeing the other party suffer, You Ming felt a little schadenfreude.

"boom."

However, at this moment, You Ming suddenly sensed a blazing aura, as intense as the sun, rapidly approaching Yuanling County.

"Such powerful and pure energy."

That power, though scorching on the outside, contained an even more terrifying and magnificent force within, causing even You Ming's face to show a hint of solemnity.

In an instant, his figure swayed, the surrounding space contracted, and the next moment he was standing in the void.

His divine sense instantly spread out like a tide, and at the same time, the [Dream Breath Ripple Lock] was activated. Layers of invisible, dreamlike ripples spread outwards, covering the entire Yuanling County in the blink of an eye.

You Ming clearly sensed that the approaching being was extremely powerful, especially since it was surrounded by tens of thousands of people from Yuanling County. If this person were allowed to attack this place, these people would likely be killed or injured.

The energy rushes in from the horizon, like a burning meteor streaking across the sky, but for some reason, its energy is not very stable, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, constantly changing.

"Om."

That force instantly rushed into the range of You Ming's [Dream Breath Lock], and a crescent moon appeared on one of You Ming's fingers, which was his [Source Interception Seal] divine power.

Just as he was about to strike hard, he suddenly realized that the scorching aura contained a teenager.

The boy's face was pale, and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth. When he saw You Ming appear, he finally gave a bleak smile.

"Brother Youming..."

"Shaojie!"

You Ming instantly gathered the [Severing Source Seal], and with a single grab, the boy floated in mid-air.

You Ming naturally recognized the young man; he was Chen Xiujie, the younger brother he had met in Lingzhou and one of the Twelve Immortals.

The two had agreed that Chen Xiujie would travel north and eventually come to Yuanling Mountain to find him.

You Ming originally thought that the other party would arrive at Yuanling Mountain within two years, but unexpectedly, it has been six years and the other party has finally arrived late.

And it seems they've gotten themselves into some trouble.

"Swish swish."

In the distant void, more than a dozen figures each piloted their magical treasures. Flames surged around them, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived outside Yuanling Mountain.

You Ming glanced at these people and then lost interest.

Most of these people were at the Yin Spirit level, except for the three leaders, whose bodies shone with precious light, some transformed into flames, some into giants, and some with full heads of red hair and ferocious faces. This indicated that they were all at the [Dharma Aspect] level.

In a remote place like Bingzhou, a sect that has cultivators at the [Dharma Aspect] level is considered a major sect.

Even with only one Yin Spirit cultivator, the Mingyue Temple has already amassed a considerable reputation in Tai'an Prefecture.

"Lord You, please hand that thief over to our sect."

"This thief destroyed our sect's [Mountain Furnace], an unforgivable crime! We must skin him alive and tear him apart!"

The three Dharma Aspect cultivators stopped less than a hundred feet away from You Ming, forming a vague encirclement around him.

The other cultivators behind them were also at the [Yin Shen] level, each wielding various magical treasures and working together. If the situation turned unfavorable, they would immediately unleash their full power. They knew that the Carp God of Yuanling Mountain was a Dharma Aspect cultivator, but since they had three Dharma Aspect cultivators, they naturally had no fear of You Ming.

If You Ming tries to protect them, they will take direct action. After all, they have a legitimate reason, and even the Divine Path cannot do whatever it wants.

Besides, this carp is not recognized by the Bingzhou Divine Path. As long as we don't actually kill it, there won't be any problems.

"No way."

You Ming stroked his chin and frowned.

He glanced at Chen Xiujie, and then at the cultivators from the Iron Refining Sect.

He was unsure if he had misheard, that these Dharma Masters were actually threatening to kill Chen Xiujie.

It's not that You Ming looks down on these people, but these three Dharma Aspect cultivators are no match for Chen Xiujie. They could easily take on any Dharma Aspect cultivator from Lingzhou.

You Ming knew better than anyone what the situation was like in the cultivation world of Bingzhou.

It lacks spiritual energy, has no magic methods, and its supernatural powers and spells are very ordinary.

"Lord You, are you perhaps trying to protect the thieves?"

Seeing that You Ming remained silent for a long time, the three Dharma Aspect cultivators became even more hostile. They took another step forward, their aura pressing even more towards You Ming.

"This person is my friend. Please give me some face, and I will compensate the Iron Refining Sect with an additional 10,000 divine power. Let's call this matter over."

You Ming looked at Chen Xiujie, who was in a very bad state, though he didn't know what had happened.

But he wasn't one to engage in violence; he preferred to resolve things with money rather than risk damaging relationships.

"Senior brothers, why waste words with him? Let's just fight!"

The Dharma Aspect cultivator who had transformed into a ball of flame seemed to feel insulted by You Ming's direct spending of money. After letting out a roar, he instantly expanded dozens of times and then pounced towards You Ming.

Flames raged all around, and the temperature rose instantly, as if it had transformed into a furnace for refining weapons. The high temperature came from all directions, threatening to refine people alive.

The other two Dharma Aspect cultivators did not make a move, but each occupied a position, blocking You Ming's escape route.

"boom."

The ball of flame vaguely transformed into a human shape, and a ferocious hand instantly slammed onto You Ming's body. At the same time, countless flames, as if coated with oil, raged towards You Ming's body.

"Mountain Lord..."

Within the Yin City Dharma Realm of Yuanling County, Wu Mo and the others were startled.

This level of combat is far beyond their capabilities; they simply cannot participate.

But seeing this situation, it seemed as if You Ming was at a disadvantage.

"I had heard before that the carp god cultivated immortality and had profound skills, but now it seems that he is just a demon fish who has obtained some cultivation opportunities. Without the teachings of a sect, he is no different from a rogue cultivator. His Dharma form and strength are also very ethereal."

The other two Dharma Aspect cultivators from the Iron Refining Sect couldn't help but smile when they saw You Ming enveloped in flames.

They planned to wait a while before having Junior Brother Chi Yan withdraw his supernatural powers, lest he actually kill him and needlessly offend the divine path.

"Sigh, tell me... why are you doing this to yourselves?"

Just then, a soft sigh reached their ears.
