Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

Lianzhu's face showed pain; the fins on her limbs were pierced, and there were several wounds on her abdomen as well.

Chen Yi did not kill her, but deliberately spared her life.

Otherwise, the Nine Needles of Cold Shadow would have pierced her skull directly, giving Lianzhu no chance.

At this moment, only Lianzhu remained of the Sea Yaksha who was chasing Chen Yi.

Chen Yi glanced behind him and, with a thought, stored the corpses of these sea yakshas into his storage bag.

Lianzhu's eyes changed, and she wanted to act, but was hindered by the Flowing Light Sword protruding from her neck, so she did not make any rash moves.

After putting all the sea yaksha corpses into his storage bag, Chen Yi took out a special iron chain and tied Lian Zhu up again.

He specially bought this from the Treasure Pavilion; it can imprison Foundation Establishment cultivators or demonic beasts.

Chen Yi took out several more talismans and stuck them on Lian Zhu's back, further sealing her demonic aura.

He exhaled a breath of stale air, his face deathly pale. Chen Yi immediately deactivated the 'Burning Blood' state, and his own aura instantly subsided.

"Bastard, kill me if you dare!" Lianzhu roared.

She never imagined that after joining forces with her clansmen to attack Chen Yi, she would now be all alone.

Chen Yi stared at Lian Zhu, a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a moment, he slowly spoke:

"Before today, I have never had any grudge against your Sea Demon clan."

"Those sea monsters on the beach had nothing to do with me, and I need to make that clear to you."

Upon hearing this, Lianzhu's face showed hatred, and she said coldly:

"Stop with your sweet talk. For the past few months, you humans have been hunting us sea yaksha."

Chen Yi frowned slightly; he hadn't expected this to happen. He had never seen any human cultivators deliberately attacking the Sea Yaksha clan along the way.

"Could it be...?"

Seeing Chen Yi's expression, Lian Zhu couldn't help but sneer:

"What, aren't you going to talk about it anymore?"

"Human cultivators are not allowed to enter the inner sea easily; you have already violated the rules."

Chen Yi's expression changed slightly, and he leaned forward, saying in a deep voice:

"I have said that I do not intend to be your enemy."

He took out some pills from his storage bag, swallowed them, and then circulated his spiritual energy to regulate his breathing and neutralize the medicinal effects.

Chen Yi didn't dare to delay and pulled Lianzhu forward.

The reason he didn't kill Lianzhu was to use her as a hostage. Right now, Ruan Yiqiu probably hasn't escaped the siege of the other sea monsters.

Lianzhu immediately struggled desperately, not wanting Chen Yi to touch her at all.

"Behave yourself, or I'll have to cut off your limbs," Chen Yi said calmly, but his tone was colder.

Looking at Chen Yi's expression, Lianzhu felt a surge of fear.

Chen Yi reached out and helped her up, then piloted his flying artifact forward.

After flying for a while, the two saw Ruan Yiqiu fighting a group of sea demons ahead.

Streaks of lightning and water blades spread outwards continuously.

Ruan Yiqiu briefly suppressed her opponent by relying on her powerful lightning magic and elemental advantage.

However, the sea monsters surrounded her, and the surrounding seawater surged and attacked her.

Seeing this, Chen Yi sped up, and the Fire Lotus Boat, glowing with rosy light, transformed into a long rainbow and rushed to their side.

"Don't move, or I'll kill her right now," Chen Yi said coldly.

The two Foundation Establishment stage sea demons who were attacking Ruan Yiqiu changed their expressions and stopped what they were doing.

"Little sister, you..." Lian Jing exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Lianzhu's face showed a pleading expression. She wanted to ask for help but did not want to implicate her brother.

Lian Feng, standing next to Lian Jing, was ashen-faced. He never expected that his younger sister and her clansmen would be captured alive by a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

Ruan Yiqiu turned to look at Chen Yi, a look of surprise also appearing on her face.

Chen Yi waved to Ruan Yiqiu, signaling her to come over immediately.

Without any hesitation, Ruan Yiqiu flashed and headed straight for Chen Yi.

The surrounding sea monsters focused their gazes on Lian Jing and Lian Feng, not daring to make any rash moves.

Lianfeng flashed and led Lianjing and the other clansmen in hot pursuit.

Ruan Yiqiu rushed to Chen Yi's side and was secretly shocked to see Lian Zhu captured alive. Although she wanted to ask Chen Yi how he captured her, she needed to escape as soon as possible.

Lianfeng and Lianjing immediately directed the sea demons to prepare to surround Chen Yi and his companion.

Seeing this, Chen Yi immediately held the Blazing Sun Sword to Lian Zhu's neck and said coldly:

"Don't move, or I can't guarantee her safety."

Upon hearing this, Lianfeng stood up with one hand, stopping the sea demons from continuing their actions.

"Release her immediately, or we will tear you apart alive!" Lian Jing shouted, his fishbone sword emitting a blue glow.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi exerted a slight force in his hand, and the sharp blade sliced ​​through Lian Zhu's skin.

In an instant, a wound appeared on Lianzhu's neck, and gushing blue blood flowed down the sword's edge.

"If you want her dead, you can do it now," Chen Yi said coldly.

Seeing this, Lianzhu became restless and even tried to commit suicide by drawing her sword.

Upon seeing this, Ruan Yiqiu immediately placed his hand on her back, and bursts of purple electric arcs instantly erupted, causing Lianzhu's body to go limp and collapse onto the flying magical artifact.

"Gentlemen, we have no grudge against you."

"Now that things have come to this, there's no need for a fight to the death," Chen Yi said calmly.

Lian Feng, with an icy expression, flew alone to Chen Yi and the others.

"You human cultivators have killed my people multiple times, don't you have any grudges against me?"

"If you release my sister, I might consider letting you go," Lianfeng said coldly.

Chen Yi remained unmoved and suddenly thrust his Blazing Sun Sword down.

"what!"

Lianzhu let out a scream as the Blazing Sun Sword pierced through her right leg in an instant.

Lianfeng's face showed anger, and his demonic aura erupted instantly.

"I said I'd let us go, and I can let her go," Chen Yi said calmly.

Lian Feng suppressed his anger, but stopped what he was doing when he saw Lian Zhu under the sword and said:

"Do you want me to believe what you humans say?"

Chen Yi smiled calmly, his eyes sweeping over the sea monsters present, and said:

"We both swore an oath that we would release your sister as long as we escaped safely."

Lianfeng and Lianjing exchanged a glance, a look of surprise appearing on their faces.

This was the first time they had encountered human cultivators who wanted to make solemn vows with them.

After a moment's thought, Lianfeng immediately agreed to Chen Yi's suggestion.

Chen Yi and Ruan Yiqiu secretly communicated, and then Chen Yi took the lead in swearing an oath.

Lianfeng, Lianjing, and the group of sea demons all swore an oath, and both sides made a pact at the same time.

"Alright, release her now," Lianfeng said in a deep voice.

Chen Yi smiled, immediately drew his Blazing Sun Sword, and bandaged her wound.

Seeing this, Lianfeng's expression improved considerably, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Chen Yi did not release Lianzhu; instead, he kept her imprisoned in the same spot.

"Gentlemen, we will naturally keep our solemn oath. However, with you surrounding us like this, wouldn't it be... if we went back on our word?"

Seeing this, Lianfeng's expression turned cold, and he said:

"What do you want?"

Chen Yi smiled calmly and said, "You all retreat first. I will let her leave in two hours. You cannot pursue us."
