Chapter 112 Three-Way Assistance

The news that Zhang Taichu had captured the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Yin-Yang Sect and publicly demanded two hundred catties of top-grade dragon marrow quickly spread throughout the Qishi Mansion.

The elites of each state naturally found out as well, some were shocked, some were watching the spectacle, and some were gloating.

"Has Zhang Taichu gone mad? How could he do something like this? Isn't he afraid of retaliation from the Yin-Yang Sect?"

Qi Qi, whom Ye Fan called "Qi the Femme Fatale," was shocked by this!

As a prodigy of the demon race, she possesses considerable strength and has also mastered a ruthless secret technique known as "One Flower, One World".

In the original novel, Ye Fan, using the alias Ye Zhetian, struggled with this secret technique when fighting Qi Huoshui.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ancient Sacred Body was invincible among its peers, it would probably have been defeated by Qi Huoshui.

Her elder brother is the renowned Nan Yao, who has already reached the second level of immortal cultivation. In addition, as a top genius, Nan Yao's current strength can be easily described as that of a top-tier expert.

At the same time, he held a very high position among the demons, even higher than the older generation such as the Peacock King, and could be considered a representative figure of the Big Dipper demons.

Therefore, he knew Zhang Taichu far better than his sister did.

"This Zhang Taichu is no ordinary person. He not only has the Yaochi and Jiang family as his powerful backers, but he also knows many secrets. Even our demon race has to give him some face. How about this, you go and support him in the name of the Demon Emperor's Palace to boost his prestige."

"Huh? Why should we? He's a human, and a troublemaker at that. Why should we—wait, brother, are you asking me to represent the Demon Emperor's Palace to support him?"

Nan Yao nodded slightly. Qi Huoshui, being incredibly clever, immediately thought of something.

"Brother, the Demon Emperor's Palace held a secret conference a while ago, and many senior figures came out of seclusion to participate. You went too, but you scolded me when I wanted to go with you. Could it be that—"

Nan Yao glanced at her intelligent and quick-witted younger sister.

"If you put all that energy you have for thinking about this and that into cultivation, you probably would have reached the Sendai realm long ago."

A strange light flickered in Qi Huoshui's eyes.

"So, the big meeting really is related to this Zhang Taichu?"

"Don't ask unnecessary questions, just do as I say!"

"Hmph, fine, I won't ask. I'll figure it out myself, okay?"

Nan Yao said no more, instructed her to do as he said, and then turned to cultivate.

Upon seeing this, Qi Huoshui immediately set off into the Immortal Abode Small World, preparing to support Zhang Taichu in the name of the Demon Emperor's Palace.

"Hmph, if I can't get an answer from my brother, I'll just go straight to the source. A mere human? With my abilities, I can easily handle him."

Not only the demon race, but also the Ji and Jiang families sent messages to Ji Haoyue and Jiang Yifei to support Zhang Taichu.

Needless to say, the Jiang family, with their connection to Jiang Taixu, couldn't just sit idly by.

The Ji family's reason for doing so is that Zhang Taichu once saved Ji Biyue, and during the battle of Wanlong Nest, Zhang Taichu also helped the Ji family's Holy Lord with the Origin Heaven Array Pattern.

Although the Ji family is not as grateful as the Jiang family, they still need to put on a show of support.

It's like getting into a gang fight when you're a kid. Usually, you form a group, and someone with a lot of connections can bring in dozens of people.

But most of these dozens of people were just standing around watching; probably less than one-tenth of them actually took action.

The Ji family sent Ji Haoyue, whose role was simply to stand back and watch the show; he wouldn't actually do anything.

In just three days, the Yin-Yang Sect arrived, and surprisingly, four powerful cultivators at the second level of immortality came all at once.

Although not a top-tier expert at the Perfected Second Immortal Realm, their strength is around the Fourth Heaven of the Second Immortal Realm, making them mid-level experts in the Second Immortal Realm.

The arrival of four powerful cultivators at the second level of immortality made people realize that the Yin-Yang Sect definitely did not intend to resolve this peacefully, and many who wanted to support Zhang Taichu began to have second thoughts.

Ye Fan asked Li Heishui to help deliver a message, and the two sides agreed to exchange prisoners in a valley within the Immortal Abode Small World.

When Ji Haoyue and the others found out, they rushed over quickly.

Soon, the appointed time arrived. Zhang Taichu and Ye Fan stood side by side, each holding a fire-controlling gourd. The Yin-Yang Holy Son and Holy Daughter were still burning inside the gourd and had not been released.

"Hey Yezi, are you really planning to stay here? If a fight breaks out, I won't be able to control it."

"Don't worry, my cultivation has improved a bit too quickly recently, and I'm thinking of consolidating my foundation."

"That's good. Feel free to do whatever you want in a bit. This is just the first battle; there's plenty more to come."

As they were talking, a flash appeared in the distance, and Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue jumped out from it.

When Ji Ziyue saw Ye Fan there, she immediately showed a worried expression and was about to come over to persuade him, but was stopped by Ji Haoyue.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Ye, my sister and I are here on behalf of the Ji family to offer our support. If the Yin Yang Sect members do anything excessive, the Ji family will not stand idly by."

Ye Fan exchanged a few polite words, and then began to flirt with Ji Ziyue.

Zhang Taichu did not have a good impression of the Ji family. At least before Ji Zi came out, he thought the Ji family was a villainous family.

Not only are there pure villains like Ji Hui, but there are also scheming hypocrites like the Holy Lord of the Ji family. Overall, the impression is very bad.

"Thank you very much, Brother Haoyue. By the way, I met the beautiful Ji Biyue once before. Did she not come to Qishi Mansion?"

"Sister Biyue has also come, but it seems she is in seclusion."

Ji Ziyue answered quickly, and Ji Haoyue couldn't stop her.

"Seclusion, huh? What a coincidence."

Zhang Taichu was being sarcastic. After all, he had saved Ji Biyue's life back then, yet now he couldn't even offer a word of support. He was truly living up to his villainous persona.

At this moment, Jiang Yifei also arrived, also to offer his support, and even brought out a replica of the Hengyu Furnace.

Although it is only a replica, its power is no less than that of a sacred weapon.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry. No matter how strong the Yin-Yang Sect members are, they're only at the second level of Immortals. When this furnace in my hand unleashes its full power, it's comparable to a Half-Saint!"

"Thank you, Brother Jiang. However, I already have a plan to deal with the enemy. Besides, this time it's mainly about exchanging prisoners, not necessarily about fighting and killing. After all, we are all civilized people."

A beautiful figure flashed over and stopped only three meters in front of Zhang Taichu. The moment she stopped, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and Zhang Taichu instinctively took a few more breaths, feeling somewhat intoxicated.

"Zhang Taichu, it's been a long time. I am Qi Qi, the younger sister of Nan Yao. I'm here to help you. Just say the word and I'll help you deal with the Yin Yang Sect."

Ji Haoyue and Jiang Yifei were both surprised, as they had heard of Nan Yao's great reputation before coming to Qishi Mansion.

They are among the top geniuses in the entire Beidou region. Unlike the weaklings fighting each other in the Eastern Wilderness, the Southern Demon, the Northern Emperor, and the Central Emperor are the true leaders of the younger generation.

Their cultivation had reached the second level of the Sendai realm, far surpassing their contemporaries and even able to compete with the older generation, placing them at the very top of the Beidou hierarchy.

If we also consider age and potential, then even the older generation would have to admit defeat.

Qi Qi, as Nan Yao's younger sister, is not only highly talented and strong, but also incredibly beautiful, with a reputation for beauty that spreads far and wide. Many holy sons from holy lands and major sects want to get close to her, turning into devoted admirers, which makes the holy maidens of their respective sects very jealous.

Now that such a prominent figure has come to support Zhang Taichu, Ji Haoyue and Jiang Yifei realize that Zhang Taichu's network of connections is far wider than they knew.

"Haha, so it's the beautiful Qi! Thank you so much. I'll definitely treat you to a big meal after this whole ordeal is over."

"Just a big meal? I've heard you're known as Little Master Yuan. How about we go on an adventure together sometime?"

"No problem, I'll let you know as soon as I get any news about secret realms or the like."

After Qi Huoshui arrived, some other people came to the vicinity, but they did not come over to greet Zhang Taichu. It was obvious that they were not there to help him, but to watch the show.

If given the chance, they might even turn into robbers and come to rob people.

Another ten minutes or so passed, and when the number of people present exceeded thirty, the Yin-Yang Sect finally arrived.

"Four powerful figures?! Is the Yin-Yang Sect here to exchange prisoners or to wipe them all out?"

Someone immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"Hmph, with their own holy son and daughter captured, how could the Yin Yang Sect possibly swallow their anger? Just watch, Zhang Taichu is too arrogant, he's going to be in big trouble this time."

"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you see the Ji family, the Jiang family, and the people from the Demon Emperor's Palace all coming to help? The Yin Yang Sect wouldn't dare offend so many powerful forces."

"Forget it, those three families are just here to show their support. They might not even lift a finger if a real fight breaks out. If they were truly committed to helping, they wouldn't just send the younger generation; they would have sent Elder Two directly."

The people around him were talking amongst themselves, while Zhang Taichu took to the air and stopped a hundred meters away from the four elders of the Yin Yang Sect. He then poured the Yin Yang Holy Son and Holy Daughter out of the Fire Control Gourd.

By this time, the two had been burned to a crisp, their bodies blackened and charred like charcoal. If they weren't still breathing and their magical energy was still present, they would probably be no different from the dead.

The Yin-Yang Sect members were enraged upon seeing this, and one of them even stretched out a massive hand to strike Zhang Taichu.

Zhang Taichu used his magic to condense two flying swords, which hovered over the foreheads of the Yin-Yang Holy Son and Holy Daughter. With just one thrust, they could pierce through their brains, destroying their bodies and souls together.

The Yin-Yang Elder reluctantly withdrew, but the killing intent emanating from him was almost materializing.

"At your age, why are you still so impatient? You promised two hundred catties of top-grade dragon marrow, cash on delivery. Don't try any tricks on me, or I won't mind if your Yin Yang Sect replaces its holy sons and daughters."

"Youngster, you are lawless and have attacked our Holy Son and Holy Daughter without cause. Aren't you afraid of being condemned by the people of the world?"

Zhang Taichu gave a cold snort.

"Stop talking nonsense. You know perfectly well whether it was for no reason or not. The Assassin Dynasty doesn't work for nothing. You probably paid a hefty price to kill me and Ye Fan, didn't you?"

"Hu Ba said, 'Our Yin Yang Sect, as the supreme sect of Zhongzhou, would never collude with the Assassin Dynasty. You're making baseless accusations!'"

Another Yin-Yang Sect elder spoke with a blank expression and an air of righteous indignation.

"The Yin-Yang Sect acts with integrity and honesty. Even if they want revenge, they will do it themselves and would never stoop to hiring someone to kill. Zhang Taichu, you underestimate us and overestimate yourself."

"Slap slap slap"

Zhang Taichu clapped repeatedly.

"Well said, so righteously presented! If I didn't know the truth, I'd think I was the villain! Alright! I'm too lazy to argue with you now. Hurry up and produce the Dragon Marrow, or I'll chop their heads off right now and use them as footballs!"

Seeing that their stance had been made public, the Yin-Yang Sect members, believing they had gained the moral high ground, said no more and took out the prepared dragon marrow.

Ye Fan flew over, examined the dragon marrow, and then nodded to Zhang Taichu.

Zhang Taichu released the Yin-Yang Holy Son and Holy Daughter, and the exchange of prisoners officially began—
