A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

When Ma Jinshuo saw Li Daoran, who exuded overwhelming demonic energy, he was stunned and stood there with his mouth agape, wide enough to fit a fist. For a moment, he forgot his anger and his face was full of disbelief!

A storm raged within him: How could such a terrifying demon have appeared on Su Nuanyun's mountain? This aura was cold and sinister, far surpassing the top experts of this continent; it was likely an existence from the outer demon realm! What was his relationship with Su Nuanyun? Could it be that Su Nuanyun's rapid cultivation was due to selling her soul and making a deal with a demon?

Ma Jinshuo's mind raced. His son's death fueled his rage, almost driving him to madness. But faced with Li Daoran's terrifying pressure, he instinctively maintained a degree of restraint. He was afraid that if this demon truly possessed the power to destroy the world, wouldn't he be courting death?

In those few short seconds of hesitation from Ma Jinshuo, Chen Yang had already taken out the Flying Cloud Boat!

With a wave of his hand, the Flying Cloud Boat transformed into an inconspicuous black shadow, silently flying out of the main peak under the cover of the billowing smoke, slipping out of the Tianhai Gate's territory like a ghost!

After leaving Tianhai Gate, Chen Yang didn't hesitate at all. He slammed his palm on the drive core of the Flying Cloud Boat and roared, "Full speed ahead!"

The Flying Cloud Boat instantly burst forth with dazzling spiritual light, transforming into a streak of light and breaking through the sound barrier with a whoosh. It flew madly towards the Jiang family of Dongyuan Kingdom, tearing apart the air along its path and leaving behind a faint afterimage!

After flying for five minutes, Chen Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the gunwale of the Flying Cloud Boat and panting heavily, feeling a sharp pain in his chest wound.

He knew very well that although the Flying Cloud Boat was a second-tier secret treasure with extremely fast speed, a Golden Core cultivator could draw upon the power of heaven and earth. If Ma Jinshuo pursued him relentlessly, the Flying Cloud Boat alone would not be able to escape!

That's why he took a desperate gamble, throwing out all the Heavenly Fireballs and Talismans to create smoke; that's why he threatened Li Daoran with his freedom and life to make him attract Ma Jinshuo's attention—all of this was to buy himself this precious time to escape!

"Thank goodness, we're safe for now!" Chen Yang looked down at Liu Qingxia, who was still in seclusion in his arms. Her face was rosy and her breathing was steady, indicating that she was still absorbing the energy of the Ghost Flame Demon Lotus. He felt a little more at ease.

He dared not slacken in the slightest and continued to steer the flying cloud boat, speeding towards the Jiang family's direction—now, only his father-in-law and that unfathomable Golden Core cultivator from the Jiang family could protect them!

Meanwhile, above Tianhai Gate.

Li Daoran stood with his hands behind his back, deliberately straightening his back, looking down on everyone with an air of arrogance and fearlessness, like a demon standing above the heavens. He glanced at Ma Jinshuo with disdain, not even bothering to give him a second look—he was betting that Ma Jinshuo wouldn't dare to make a move rashly!

Ma Jinshuo frowned, his heart filled with mixed emotions: envy, jealousy, fear, and anger intertwined! He envied Su Nuanyun for being able to win over such a terrifying demon as her backer; no wonder her cultivation speed was so fast, catching up with his own hundreds of years of hard work in just a few decades! He himself did not have such an opportunity!

Now, he and Su Nuanyun are irreconcilable enemies, locked in a life-or-death struggle. If he could win over this fiend before him, wouldn't he be able to easily suppress Su Nuanyun and even control the entire Tianhai Sect? But if he were to make a move, would he really have the ability to kill this fiend? And why is this fiend hesitating to act? Is it out of disdain, or is he holding something back?

Ma Jinshuo felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it—although Li Daoran had an immense aura, his body flickered in and out of existence amidst the demonic energy, like a candle in the wind, clearly indicating unstable energy, as if it were just a hastily pieced-together phantom!

"Could it be that this demon is just bluffing?" A bold thought arose in his mind.

Thinking of this, Ma Jinshuo's eyes narrowed and he had an idea. He waved his hand and his hands came together instantly. A dazzling golden light condensed in his palms, and then a flying sword that was shimmering with spiritual light was wrapped in the golden light and slowly flew towards Li Daoran!

"Senior, please forgive my rudeness!" Ma Jinshuo forced a smile, his tone deliberately respectful. "My son was ignorant and offended your peaceful cultivation. I offer this second-tier flying sword as an apology. I hope you will not take offense!"

His plan was shrewd: if Li Daoran could easily catch the flying sword containing the power of the Golden Core, it would prove that he was indeed terrifyingly strong, and he could immediately retreat and do Li Daoran a favor; if Li Daoran dared not catch it or could not catch it, it would prove that he was bluffing, and he could take the opportunity to break it apart, capture it and refine it into his own puppet, and make it work for him!

That second-tier secret treasure flying sword, seemingly slow, was actually as fast as lightning. Carrying the pressure of Ma Jinshuo's Golden Core, it instantly flew towards Li Daoran's face!

Li Daoran was startled, inwardly cursing Ma Jinshuo's treachery—this flying sword, seemingly an apology, was actually a test, containing enough Golden Core power to severely injure him in his current state! How could he dare to take it head-on? He quickly flashed away, retreating several feet like a ghost, feigning disdain and coldly snorting, his tone filled with arrogance: "Such trash, does it even deserve to be seen by me? Get out of my sight, you've offended my eyes!"

Seeing this, Ma Jinshuo was ninety percent certain—this demon was indeed bluffing! A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and his fear vanished instantly, replaced by the fury of revenge!

"Since you don't want it, senior, then I'll have to offend you!" Ma Jinshuo stepped forward, his body radiating golden light, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Today, I will avenge the murder of my son! You fiend, you must also be connected to Su Nuanyun, so I'll kill you all at once!"

As he spoke, a dazzling golden light erupted from his body, like a god descending to earth, carrying a world-destroying aura, and he crashed directly into Li Daoran!

"Chen Yang, you bastard! You've screwed me over!" Li Daoran cursed angrily, his face flushed red. "You, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, actually messed with a Golden Core cultivator! And you made me take the hit, and you bastard even held onto the Myriad Souls Demon-Slaying Staff and wouldn't give it to me!"

Despite his inner turmoil, Li Daoran couldn't avoid the battle—if he fled, Chen Yang would definitely detonate the Ten Thousand Souls Sacrifice Demon Staff. He could only grit his teeth, channel the remaining demonic energy in his body, and transform into a streak of black light, crashing towards Ma Jinshuo!

"boom--!"

The golden light and the black light collided violently, and the terrifying energy shockwave swept in all directions like a tsunami. The entire Tianhai Gate was shaking violently, countless buildings collapsed, mountains trembled, smoke and dust filled the air, and even the sky and earth seemed to change color!

Ma Jinshuo only took two steps back before regaining his footing, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth—this demon's strength was indeed undeserved! Li Daoran, on the other hand, was sent flying hundreds of meters away like a kite with a broken string. His demonic energy instantly thinned by more than half, his aura dropped drastically, and his face turned ashen!

"It was just a bluff!" Ma Jinshuo was completely certain of his judgment. Without further hesitation, he angrily cursed, "Since you won't listen to reason, then don't blame me for destroying you, you demon! All disciples of Tianhai Sect, keep an eye on her! Su Nuanyun is colluding with evil forces and slaughtering her fellow disciples. Everyone has the right to kill her!"

As he spoke, he transformed into a golden light, like a vengeful ghost chasing after Li Daoran!
