The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands

Lin Yi stared at the three menacing demonic corpses, looking troubled.

Within his mind, Wei Xian slowly spoke, "Young friend, this situation is not easy to handle."

"However, if you're willing to ask me for a favor, I do have a way to deal with them, and even create an external avatar for them, as long as you let me out for a while..."

Lin Yi sneered, "Old man, dream on! Let you out? No way!"

"If I let you out, you'd easily subdue three demonic corpses at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and with your Nascent Soul stage divine sense, you could roam freely throughout the entire Southern Region. How could I possibly be alive?"

Wei Xian's thoughts were exposed, and he remained silent for a long while.

After a few breaths, he chuckled dryly twice, "Ahem, young friend, you're overthinking it. We're on the same side..."

"Who says you're one of us? You're my prisoner, my private treasure! Let you out? I'm not crazy!"

Wei Xian was completely speechless.

Having lived for thousands of years, this is the first time I've encountered someone so stubborn and unyielding.

Lin Yi also had a headache.

Even if Ye Qingwan were to take action against three invulnerable demonic corpses, the outcome would be uncertain.

Besides, as a notorious playboy, would he really let women take the lead?

No, I have to figure it out myself!

A thought suddenly struck him, "I've got it!"

"Old man, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself! Eradicate that red-faced old devil's divine sense controlling the demonic corpse, and then teach me a quick method for controlling corpses!"

"you……!"

Wei Xian was so angry that even his remnant soul trembled.

Even getting something for nothing isn't this skillful!

But the thought of those tortures made him back down.

"You're ruthless! Take another ten zhang!"

Lin Yi moved like lightning, rushing out in an instant.

hum!

A massive divine sense swept across the battlefield and directly penetrated the core of the three demonic corpses!

The three demonic corpses froze abruptly, the red light in their eyes dimming.

"What's going on?!"

The old man's expression changed drastically.

His connection with the demonic corpse was abruptly severed!

"puff!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his breath instantly weakened.

Lin Yi seized the opportunity and, following the "Spirit Binding Technique" taught by Wei Xian, split off three divine thoughts and sent them into the demon's corpse!

"By imperial decree, submit!"

The three demonic corpses shuddered, and the red light in their eyes flared up again.

But this time, it was Lin Yi's shadow that was reflected!

A complete reversal of fortunes!

The three demonic corpses, all at the peak of the Golden Core stage, changed direction and locked onto the allied forces!

Wei Xian's remnant soul dimmed slightly. "I've suffered considerable damage and need to sleep for a few days..."

Lin Yi laughed heartily, "Old man, thanks! I'll gladly accept these three lumps of iron!"

"No! That's absolutely impossible!"

The old man, the demon corpse, spat out another mouthful of blood.

How could a junior in the late Foundation Establishment stage instantly erase his soul imprint?

Unless an old monster in the late Nascent Soul stage makes a move!

He dared not think any further.

Lin Yi's mind raced, "Kill!"

The three demonic corpses' eyes blazed red as they charged into the allied forces' camp!

Invulnerable to swords and spears, possessing immense strength, he's like a tiger among sheep!

"Run! The demonic corpse has betrayed us!"

The allied forces were instantly filled with cries of agony, and their formation completely collapsed.

Luo Zhiyong was attacked by Bald Qiang and the demonic corpse, and was seriously injured and captured.

Yao Qianchi was the first to ride away on her flying sword.

The old man with the demonic corpse used his blood escape technique and fled in a sorry state.

Lin Yi ordered that the fleeing enemy should not be pursued.

He was extremely pleased with the three demonic corpses he had acquired for free.

However, controlling them was too taxing on his mental energy, so he decisively withdrew two of them, leaving only one.

"Three bodies are too conspicuous; one is enough to intimidate."

The captured Luo Zhiyong, his neck stiff, retorted, "Hmph! Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!"

Lin Yi, however, thought highly of him.

This general has backbone; he's currently short-handed.

"Senior Luo, I'm giving you a choice."

Lin Yi walked up to him, his tone indifferent.

"Either submit to me, or... die."

"You're dreaming! I, Luo Zhiyong, am not someone who's afraid of death!"

Lin Yi walked up to him, his expression indifferent. "You risked your life for the Great Chu, but did they ever truly care for you? They only used you as a tool."

"To die in battle today will at most earn me the title of a defeated general."

"Submit to me, and I will lead you on the true path to becoming a strong person."

"Choose: die a pathetic death, or live a different life?"

Lin Yi reasoned with him and appealed to his emotions.

Finally, it was stated that someone had been sent to pick up his family, and it was promised that they would be safe and sound.

Luo Zhiyong's face was deathly pale, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He was loyal and righteous throughout his life and never considered the word "betrayal".

But Lin Yi's words were like knives, piercing his heart.

The emperor was incompetent, his colleagues ostracized him, and his subordinates died needlessly.

And there are the faces of his wife, children, and elderly parents, all eagerly awaiting his return home.

He closed his eyes, as if he had used up all his strength.

The heavy sword clattered to the ground.

He knelt on one knee, handing over his natal soul imprint, "Luo Zhiyong... greets my lord!"

"very good!"

Lin Yi personally helped him up, saying, "You'll see how right your decision was in the future!"

Clean up the battlefield.

The disciples of the Dan Ding Sect excitedly collected the storage bags, and a huge amount of pills, spirit stones, and magic treasures were all put into the warehouse.

The outcome of this battle swept across the entire Southern Region like a whirlwind.

"What?! Lin Yi has taken control of those three demonic corpses at the peak of the Golden Core stage?!"

"The nine-clan allied forces suffered a crushing defeat; even Luo Zhiyong surrendered?!"

"The Pill Cauldron Sect is defying the heavens!"

Countless sects were shaken.

Those sects that were still observing could no longer sit still, and they all sent envoys with generous gifts to the Dan Ding Sect to form an alliance.

The Soul Palace's deterrent power has been greatly diminished, and the rise of the Pill Cauldron Sect is now unstoppable.

The landscape of the Southern Region is truly about to change!

Lin Yi frowned, quickly integrating the various pieces of information.

"Something's not right! The Southern Region is in such a mess, and we've openly confronted the Soul Palace under the banner of the Soul Extinction Alliance, yet they haven't even sent a single decent Nascent Soul elder?"

"The root of this variable is probably that An Xinyue has returned to the spirit world."

"The aura that tore through the interface passage has caused the old monsters of the Southern Region to emerge from seclusion, naturally preventing the Soul Palace from easily extending its reach."

Having figured this out, Lin Yi left the cleanup to Ji Ziyue and returned to his cave on Luoyun Peak.

Luo Zhiyong was settled inside the mountain. Seeing that his parents, wife and children had arrived safely, his eyes reddened slightly, and he felt no more worries.

He accepted the cultivation resources and then went into his cave to cultivate in seclusion.

Inside the cave.

The warm jade radiated heat and was surrounded by spiritual energy.

Ruan Qingzhu was already waiting inside. When she saw Lin Yi return, she immediately went up to him and said, "Husband, thank you for your hard work."

She wore a light pink dress, her figure was slender, with curves in the right places and delicate features that could be easily grasped.

After a few days apart, her face had become a little thinner, which only made her more endearing.

She managed Luoyun Peak very well.

Lin Yi felt a surge of warmth in his heart and pulled her into his arms. "My dear Zhu'er, you've gotten so thin from all that work. Tonight, I'll treat you to something nice!"

He scooped Ruan Qingzhu up in his arms and carried her to the warm jade bed.

"Oh! My husband..."

Ruan Qingzhu's face turned red, but she did not struggle.

She knew that her husband's "Yin-Yang Harmony Technique" was incredibly profound, and that he urgently needed to release the fatigue and killing intent from his days of battle.

She felt a sweet warmth in her heart, knowing that she could help him relieve his stress.

The red silk curtains were warm, and the two entered a state of dual cultivation.

Ruan Qingzhu has a pure constitution, which is highly compatible with Lin Yi's Wanling Medicine Body, bringing an ultimate resonance with every contact.

Her movements were clumsy but she tried her best to accommodate, as gentle and tolerant as water.

Lin Yin could clearly sense that her aura was surging, and she was only one step away from forming her core.

As she reached the summit once again, Ruan Qingzhu let out a soft moan, and the spiritual energy around her surged violently.

Core formation is just around the corner!

As the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, Ruan Qingzhu nestled in Lin Yi's arms, her body glistening with sweat, her eyes filled with deep affection.

Lin Yi felt a surge of tenderness in his heart as he embraced the soft body in his arms.

With a wife like this, what more could one ask for in this life?

……

Deep within the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom.

A stunningly beautiful woman leaned lazily against a soft couch, listening to her personal maid, Xiaoyu, report.

She wore a long purple gauze dress, her curves captivating; she was none other than Sima Liuying, the honorary elder of the Soul Palace and the Thousand-Faced Demoness!

She was known as Lady Firefly!

In terms of beauty, she outshone all others.

In terms of seniority, she was the senior sister of Hun Li, the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall, and her cultivation was unfathomable.

Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise, "Madam, that Lin Yi is truly remarkable!"

"He snatched away the three Golden Core demonic corpses that the Demon Corpse Elder had refined over a hundred years right there on the battlefield! The whole Southern Region is buzzing with the news!"

"Oh?"

Sima Liuying raised an eyebrow. "Even that old guy's prized possession was lost? When those three were fighting desperately, even cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage had to avoid them."

"Yes, Madam! That Lin Yi seems to have divine assistance; his methods are incredibly strange!"

"interesting."

Sima Liuying, with a strand of her black hair entwined around her, said, "Making the Demon Corpse Elder suffer a setback is not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator can do."

"Keep an eye on him. I need to know everything, big or small."

Just then, a report came from outside the palace: "His Majesty has arrived!"

Chu Xiu strode in and respectfully bowed to Sima Liuying, saying, "Chu Xiu greets Martial Uncle Sima!"

Sima Liuying didn't even bother to lift her eyelids. "Hmm. What is it?"

"Our master and the two elders have not yet returned. Lin Yi of the Dan Ding Sect has united more than a dozen sects and raised the banner of the Soul Extinction Alliance to rebel against the Soul Palace!"

"The momentum is getting bigger and bigger; I can't control it anymore!"

"We implore our martial uncle to come out of seclusion and wipe them out in one fell swoop while they are still weak!"

"Oh."

Sima Liuying chuckled lightly, "As I said, I'm just here to relax. I have no interest in fighting and killing."

Chu Xiu forced a smile and said, "You are, after all, an elder of the Soul Hall. How can you just sit idly by and do nothing?"

"Chu Xiu!"

Sima Liuying's voice turned cold. "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

An oppressive aura spread out, and the temperature in the main hall suddenly dropped.

Chu Xiu broke out in a cold sweat. "I wouldn't dare! Martial Uncle, please calm down!"

Sima Liuying's expression softened somewhat. "Hold your positions and continue monitoring the Dan Ding Sect, especially that Lin Yi..."

She paused, then said, "Pass on my order: if there's an opportunity, capture this boy alive!"

"You must never harm him, understand?"

Chu Xiu's face turned pale and then red.

Capture alive?

We can't hurt him yet?

But he dared not disobey, and could only grit his teeth and reply, "Yes! Your junior brother obeys."

As soon as Chu Xiu stepped out of the main hall, his face instantly contorted with rage!

He kicked the bronze incense burner by the door, sending it flying far away before it crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

"Damn it! That wretched woman! She lives in my palace and just stands by and does nothing!"

"You want me to capture Lin Yi alive? I'd rather chop him into mincemeat!"

Lu Anguo leaned closer and coaxed, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't let your anger harm your health!"

"The Dan Ding Sect is currently gaining momentum, and that Lin Yi is incredibly cunning; even the Demon Corpse Elder has fallen into his hands."

"If Elder Sima refuses to make a move, we won't gain anything by confronting him head-on."

"Why not go along with her for now, bear with it, and settle the score with them when Senior Li returns!"

Chu Xiu's chest heaved a few times, and his anger finally subsided a little.

He gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "Sima Liuying...you bitch!"

"I'll turn you and that little bastard Lin Yi into corpse puppets sooner or later to vent my hatred!"

He grabbed Lü Anguo's arm, his voice unusually weak, "Brother Anguo, you're the only one I can trust now."

"We'll do as you say, just bear with it for now!"

……

Dan Ding Sect, Luo Yun Peak.

Lin Yi tormented Ruan Qingzhu until she begged for mercy repeatedly before the girl was finally satisfied and went into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core stage.

All the miscellaneous tasks in the peak were left to Mu Yun'er.

This woman's rebellious nature hasn't been completely eradicated.

Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry to pick this thorny flower. He decided to make her a maidservant first, so she could serve him every day.

After comforting Ruan Qingzhu, it was natural not to neglect Xin Zhilei.

Her experience of going through both extremes of heat and cold is something no one else can compare to.

As for Ji Ziyue, she's a very busy person right now.

Ye Qingwan entrusted her with managing all the affairs of the sect, big and small.

With all these matters settled, Lin Yi finally had some free time and wanted to seriously cultivate.

He frantically consumed elixirs and drank copious amounts of spiritual spring water...

As a result, his cultivation level remained completely unchanged, as if it had been welded shut!

"Damn! This lousy nine-elemental root!"

Lin Yi was so angry that he almost demolished the cave.

Since normal cultivation methods were not working, he turned his attention to the three demonic corpses.

The gift from the old demon corpse is indeed quite good; it would be difficult to find an opponent within the Golden Core stage.

They're far from being good enough to go toe-to-toe with a Nascent Soul level monster.

He wanted to refine them again to enhance their combat power.

Unfortunately, I have neither top-tier materials nor the corresponding secret techniques.

Ever since breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, my cultivation has been stuck.

Aside from the slight increase that could be felt when cultivating with several female companions.

Normally, swallowing countless rare and precious herbs is like drinking water; there's no reaction whatsoever.

"Sigh, it was all a waste of time!"

Lin Yi simply ended his seclusion. Rather than struggling with himself, he might as well go and spend some time with his martial uncle.

As soon as he emerged from seclusion, a communication talisman flew over; it was Ye Qingwan contacting him.

"Lin Yi, the Great Chu Dynasty has sent people again."

Lin Yi flashed into the main hall. "That's normal. They've suffered a series of defeats, so they have to regain some face."

"I reckon this is all bark and no bite, just a show for other sects."

Ye Qingwan said softly, "They've been camping outside the mountain gate for two days now, and there's been no movement from them."

"However, this time the leader of the team is Master Kang Le from Fansheng Temple."

"That old bald monk Kang Le?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. "Back in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, he always had that smug, punchable face. I've disliked him for a long time!"

"This is a perfect opportunity to see if his physical body is tougher, or if my demonic corpse is more formidable!"

Ye Qingwan cautioned, "Don't be careless!"

"This person's Arhat Golden Body has been cultivated to its ultimate level."

"Thirty years ago, when he was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, he withstood three moves from a rogue cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and only retreated ten steps. From then on, he became famous throughout the Southern Region."

"My injuries haven't fully healed yet, so I'm not entirely confident I can beat him."

Lin Yi's lips curled up, and he deliberately spoke in a domineering tone, "Don't worry, Qingwan, be good, I'm here."

Ye Qingwan was stunned for a moment, her cheeks flushed instantly, and her heart started beating faster than usual.

She cursed inwardly, "That bastard... he still talks so recklessly!"

"But why does it feel so reassuring to hear this?"

These past two days, Lin Yi has treated himself well, indulging in a period of blissful intimacy.

Xin Zhilei is stunningly beautiful, and demand for her is high.

The two were inseparable all day long, their love lasting.

Lin Yi even deliberately had Mu Yun'er serve tea and water to him.

Seeing the sword fairy blushing to her ears, not knowing where to put her hands and feet, and not daring to resist, I realized that she was a liar.

He felt a great sense of conquest.

If it weren't for her innate sword physique, and the fact that harvesting her primordial yin would be most effective when she reaches the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Yi would have already completely won her over.

Having had my fill of relaxation, news arrived from the front lines.

Master Kang Le finally couldn't sit still any longer and began to challenge and provoke from outside the formation.

This time, he brought with him only the elite warrior monks of the Brahma Temple, each one brimming with vitality and enveloped in Buddhist light.

The Dan Ding Sect was surrounded again, but the atmosphere was completely different from before.

The disciples continued their cultivation and patrols as usual, showing no sign of tension.

Ye Qingwan appeared outside the array's light barrier.

"Senior Ye, it's been many years."

Kang Le clasped his hands together, his tone sarcastic, "This humble monk advises the Dan Ding Sect to submit to the Soul Palace as soon as possible, lest we all perish together."

Ye Qingwan's face was as cold as frost, and her voice was clear and cold, "Junior Nephew Kang Le, when your master brought you to visit my Dan Ding Sect back then, you were just a little monk following behind."

"Now, you dare to act so presumptuously in front of my mountain gate?"

"Back then, the senior was indeed high and mighty."

Kang Le gave a forced smile, "But now... Senior's aura is unstable, and his spiritual power is weak. He is clearly still recovering from serious injuries."

"If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid your injuries won't be able to be contained!"

"You old bald monk! Why are you spouting so much nonsense?"

Lin Yi's voice suddenly broke in, "If you're so capable, then fight your way in; if you're not, then go back to your Brahma Temple and chant sutras!"

"Stop yelling outside the formation, are you waiting for me to personally perform a ritual to send you to the afterlife?"

"you……!"

Master Kang Le was so angry at the term "old bald donkey" that his face turned purple.

The disciple Shengxu, standing nearby, pointed at Lin Yi with eyes blazing with anger and shouted, "Master! It's this kid!"

"He stole my storage bag, which made my resolve waver and prevented me from becoming a Buddhist disciple!"

"Today, I will send him to his death!"

"Form ranks! Blast it open!"

With a loud shout, Kang Le no longer held back.

Hundreds of warrior monks from the Brahma Temple roared in unison, their blood energy mingling with the Buddha's light, condensing in mid-air into a gigantic phantom of the Vajra Subduing Demon Arhat!

The Arhat raised his large hand and slapped the mountain-protecting formation hard!

boom!

The entire formation trembled violently, and the light screen instantly dimmed by nearly half!

Ye Qingwan's expression changed drastically. "This is the Brahma Saint Temple's ultimate martial art, the Subduing Demon Vajra Palm! It's specifically designed to counter formations!"

Lin Yi was also taken aback. "These bald monks look reckless, but they're actually quite skilled at breaking formations!"

If this continues, the great formation may not be able to hold out.

"Activate the formation! Follow me and charge out!"

Lin Yi shouted and charged out first!

The three heroes of Qiangxiong and the elites of Dan Ding Sect followed closely behind, surging out like a tide!

Three demonic corpses at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage charged at the forefront, exuding a murderous aura!

Without saying a word, Ye Qingwan immediately clung to Kang Le, her moon-white spiritual energy covering him from all sides.

With the support of the Soul Extinction Alliance, the Dan Ding Sect united with more than a dozen sects and had many elite disciples. For a time, they fought the warrior monks of the Brahma Temple to a standstill.

Lin Yi was controlling a demonic corpse, thinking he could charge into a flock of sheep like a tiger and wreak havoc.

Unexpectedly, the battle formation formed by that group of warrior monks was particularly troublesome. The Buddhist light and blood energy intertwined to form solid barriers, which actually trapped a demonic corpse!

Although Ye Qingwan was able to hold off Kang Le, she was unable to fight at full strength due to her injuries and could not hurt him at all.

The battlefield suddenly froze.

Just then!

"Hahaha! Lin Yi! You didn't expect that, did you?"

A burst of triumphant laughter came from the side and behind!

Suddenly, several thousand well-equipped royal guards appeared on the flank of the Dan Ding Sect, blocking their retreat!

The leader was none other than Emperor Chu Xiu of the Great Chu!

He was accompanied by his male favorite, Lü Anguo, and twelve fierce generals of the Great Chu!

Nobody expected this!

Master Kang Le was just bait!

The real trump card is the Royal Guard, personally led by Chu Xiu!

This feint was incredibly cunning!

The Dan Ding Sect was attacked from both sides and had completely fallen into a dead end!

Even the retreat route to withdraw from the formation has been blocked!

Several ideas flashed through Lin Yi's mind, but he rejected them one by one.

Should Ye Qingwan rush out?

Her injury hasn't healed yet.

Let the demonic corpse self-destruct?

The loss is too great.

For the first time, he felt he didn't have enough cards to play.

With Kang Le, the old bald monk, blocking the way in front, and Chu Xiu leading his troops to block the way behind, it was a dead end!

"Young friend, you've run into trouble, haven't you?"

Wei Xian's voice rang out in his mind, "Let my soul enter the demonic corpse and wipe out those useless trash outside in the blink of an eye!"

"Shut up!"

Lin Yi retorted irritably, "If I let you control the demonic corpses, I'd be the first one to die!"

But he himself knew in his heart that there really were no other options at the moment.

All his women are in the Dan Ding Sect.

Ruan Qingzhu, Ye Qingwan, Ji Ziyue, Xin Zhilei, Mu Yun'er...

With so many stunning beauties, how could he possibly abandon them?

Lin Yi softened his tone, "Old Wei, it's not impossible for you to control the demonic corpse."

"But you must first hand over your life essence so I can place a restriction on it!"

Wei Xian laughed, "Young friend, in my prime I was a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

"You simply cannot withstand the level of the life soul."

"If you force yourself to accept it, your soul will explode, and you'll be dead beyond any hope of survival!"

Lin Yi was speechless; what the old man said was true.

"Then what can you do to put my mind at ease?"

Wei Xian's tone became serious, "I can swear the heaviest oath to my inner demons, guaranteeing that I will not harm your life."

"Now, are you satisfied?"

Lin Yi pondered for a moment, and realized that the binding force of the inner demon oath was indeed very strong.

But he always felt that the old guy was up to no good and was probably planning to sneak away!

"etc!"

A thought suddenly flashed through Lin Yi's mind!

Spiritual Spring Space!

What if Wei Xian's soul passed through the spiritual spring space first, and then entered the demon corpse?

Maybe we can tamper with it and secretly take a portion of his original soul power!

In this way.

Even if that old man ran away, and his soul is missing a piece, he'll still have to come back and beg me!

"Hahaha! I'm such a genius!"

Lin Yi suppressed his excitement and deliberately pretended to be reluctant, saying, "Alright, Lao Wei, I'll trust you this once."

"Swear a mighty oath to your inner demons, and I'll release you, let you enter the demon corpse, and deal with those bastards outside!"

Wei Xian was so excited he almost cried!

After waiting for so long, this day has finally come!

Lin Yi quietly moved the Soul-Nourishing Wood into the Spirit Spring space.

Wei Xian eagerly cooperated, and his remnant soul followed the Soul-Nourishing Wood into the Spirit Spring Space, intending to jump onto the demon corpse from there.

He didn't even notice that the moment his soul passed through the spiritual spring space...

A wisp of the most primordial innate soul power has been silently cut off and sealed away!

hum!

At the front of the battlefield, the demonic corpse that had been lying limp on the ground suddenly shuddered!

A terrifying aura surged into the sky!

The dark skin was covered with dense, dark gold magic patterns, mysterious and complex!

The violent pressure instantly enveloped the entire area, several times stronger than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator!

"What?!"

Ye Qingwan was stunned.

"This...this aura?!"

Master Kang Le's expression changed drastically, and for the first time, fear appeared in his eyes.

Everyone present was completely dumbfounded!

The demonic corpse slowly raised its head, and two blood-red lights flashed from its empty eye sockets.

"puff!"

He simply slapped out with his palm.

Kang Le's supposedly indestructible body exploded on the spot, turning into a cloud of blood mist!

One palm!

Just one palm strike!

He was comparable to a master of health and happiness in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm.

Instant death!

After killing Kang Le.

The demonic corpse turned its head, grinned at Lin Yi, and revealed an indescribably eerie smile.

Everyone is stupid.

Only Lin Yi knew the truth.

"Master Kang Le is dead?!"

"Run!"

The warrior monks of the Brahma Temple were completely defeated, and the Demon-Subduing Formation collapsed instantly.

Chu Xiu was also stunned.

How could this demonic corpse suddenly become so powerful?!

Kang Le is someone who can go toe-to-toe with a Nascent Soul cultivator!

"Don't run! You bunch of useless trash!"

Chu Xiu cursed, both shocked and furious.

The demonic corpse controlled by Wei Xian has moved again!

It plunged headlong into the fleeing Allied forces, leaving a trail of blood and flesh wherever it went!

The Brahma Temple and the Great Chu Imperial Guards completely collapsed, and everyone wished they had two more legs to run away desperately.

Those twelve so-called invincible generals were like three-year-old children in front of Wei Xian.

In the blink of an eye, only Chu Xiu and Lü Anguo, trembling like leaves, remained on the battlefield.

The Dan Ding Sect has won again, thanks to a demonic corpse!

No one expected this outcome.

next second.

The demonic corpse withdrew its aura, flashed a few times, and disappeared into the horizon.

Wei Xian's exhilarating laughter exploded in Lin Yi's mind:

"Hahaha! I'm finally free!"

"Young Lin, goodbye forever!"

"I never want to see you again in my life, you plague!"

Looking in the direction where the demonic corpse disappeared, Lin Yi's lips curled slightly.

Not annoyed at all, but instead showing an expression of complete control.

"Run, run all you want, you old man..."

He sensed the wisp of his natal soul power quietly trapped within the spiritual spring space and sneered inwardly.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Everyone was stunned!

Did that demonic corpse run away on its own?

Although Ye Qingwan was also stunned, the opportunity was fleeting.

She immediately gave the order, and the disciples of the Dan Ding Sect swarmed forward, rushing towards the remaining defeated troops.

After the smoke of battle cleared.

Lin Yi walked up to Chu Xiu, who was lying on the ground, his eyes as cold as ice.

Snapped!

He slapped Chu Xiu hard across the face.

"This time, it's for Ruan Qingshuang, whom you drove to her death!"

Blood trickled from the corner of Chu Xiu's mouth. "Lin Yi! How dare you treat me like this..."

Snapped!

The second slap was harder, silencing his subsequent words.

"This is for the sake of the millions of people of Great Chu!"

"what!"

Chu Xiu screamed in agony.

Snapped!

The third slap knocked him to the ground.

"This is for your audacity in offending my Dan Ding Sect!"

Lin Yi raised his foot and stomped hard, shattering his dantian!

"Ah! When my master returns, he'll tear you to pieces!"

Chu Xiu let out a heart-wrenching scream.

He turned to look at Lü Anguo, "Brother Anguo! Help me!"

Lu Anguo shrank back in fright, crying out, "Chu Xiu! Don't drag me down with you!"

Lin Yi stepped on Chu Xiu's hand, and the bones cracked.

"Ah! Spare me! Grandpa Lin! I'll give you anything you want!"

Chu Xiu completely broke down, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Now you know to beg for mercy?"

Lin Yi increased the pressure on his feet, "When you besieged the Dan Ding Sect back then, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

Just as Lin Yi was about to finish him off with a single blow.

"Young friend Lin, please show mercy."

A languid yet alluring voice drifted over.

A streak of light flashed across the sky, and an extremely magnificent golden imperial carriage soared through the air.

The beaded curtain was lifted, and a stunningly beautiful woman slowly appeared.

She wore a flowing rosy dress, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, casually held up with just a jade hairpin.

Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely beautiful, and her eyes seemed to speak volumes, captivating the soul.

She exudes the charm of a mature woman, and every smile and gesture is full of allure.

Everyone present was stunned.

Lin Yi's breath hitched, and he thought to himself: There are actually such beautiful women in the world!

Ye Qingwan's expression darkened, and she immediately stepped forward, shielding Lin Yi behind her. "Could you be Madam Sima?"

The beautiful woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "It is indeed I! I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Ye's unparalleled elegance, and seeing you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved."

Ye Qingwan replied in a cool tone, "Madam Sima, you flatter me."

Two stunningly beautiful women stood facing each other, one as cold as the moon, the other as alluring as flames.

Lin Yi stared, his eyes glued to the screen.

All the male cultivators present were practically captivated.

Ye Qingwan spoke first, "I was unaware of Madam Sima's presence. What can I do for you?"

Sima Liuying smiled sweetly, "Fellow Daoist Ye, please don't misunderstand. I'm not here today to cause trouble for the Dan Ding Sect."

She pointed to Chu Xiu on the ground, "This person is my junior brother's disciple, he can't die yet."

"Give me some face and spare his life. He's already a cripple anyway."

Chu Xiu struggled to shout, "Thank you so much, Elder Sima, for saving my life!"

"but,"

Sima Liuying changed the subject, fixing her eyes on Lin Yi, "I have one more condition, I want him."

She raised her hand and pointed at Lin Yi.

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked!

Lin Yi was also dumbfounded, pointing at himself.

He was internally screaming: "You want me?"

Can this lady please not say things that are so easy for people to misunderstand?

Ye Qingwan's face was as cold as ice. Without even thinking, she refused, "No way! Lin Yi will never be handed over to an outsider!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Sima Liuying smiled gently.

next second.

An immense spiritual pressure was released without reservation!

Mid-stage Nascent Soul!

The terrifying sense of oppression made it hard for everyone to breathe.

"Then it's not up to you."

Sima Liuying's voice was still as soft as ever, yet it carried an undeniable domineering air: "If young friend Lin doesn't come with me, then don't blame me for making the Dan Ding Sect bleed to death."

"Fellow Daoist Sima, are you threatening me?"

Ye Qingwan clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Yo!"

Sima Liuying's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them. "Fellow Daoist Ye seems to care particularly about this young friend Lin? Are you two really alright?"

Lin Yi was startled.

This woman is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

What exactly does she see in me?

Or... should I sacrifice myself first and calm her down first?

Lin Yi quickly sent a telepathic message to Ye Qingwan, "Qingwan, don't be impulsive!"

"It's okay if I sacrifice myself; I'm 80% confident I can escape!"

"Don't provoke her, or the sect will be finished!"

Ye Qingwan trembled, her fists clenched tightly. She stared at Lin Yi for a long time, then glanced at Sima Liuying.

After a long silence, he let out a heavy snort.

"That's a good girl."

Sima Liuying nodded in satisfaction and beckoned to Lin Yi with her finger, "Come here, little guy. Don't worry, I don't eat people."

Lin Yi cursed inwardly, but gritted his teeth and walked over.

He finally figured it out; the trouble must have come from his own miraculous medicinal body!

Follow her first, and then run away when you see an opportunity along the way.

There's really no way to escape...

This woman is indeed attractive, so it doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Sima Liuying chuckled lightly, then soared into the sky in her imperial carriage. "Fellow Daoist Ye, I'm taking the person with me. Farewell!"

Ye Qingwan watched the light disappear on the horizon, her lips almost bleeding from being bitten, her eyes filled with resentment.

She secretly vowed in her heart: I will definitely come to save you, wait for me!

Inside the imperial carriage.

Lin Yi sat next to Sima Liuying, a delicate fragrance wafting into his nose.

His eyes swept over her perfect profile and curvaceous figure, and his heart skipped a beat.

This woman... she's deadly!

No!

Lin Yi bit his tongue hard, forcing himself to calm down.

If the mighty King of the Sea were to be kidnapped as a bandit's wife, where would Lin Yi put his face?

How will I ever be able to survive in the world of beautiful women again?

Sima Liuying turned her head and looked at him with a half-smile.

Those captivating eyes seemed to see right through you.

"Lin Yi, you dare to have any wicked thoughts in front of me? Serve me well, and I won't treat you badly."

Lin Yi shivered.

This woman really intends to use him as a furnace!

He immediately changed his expression, looking shy and admiring, and said, "Senior, you've misunderstood!"

"This junior simply... has never seen such a stunningly beautiful person as you, senior. I was momentarily stunned and acted rudely. Please forgive me, senior!"

Sima Liuying laughed, "You have a sweet tongue, but that won't work on you, sister."

"I'm speaking from the heart!"

Sima Liuying was in a great mood and flipped her hand to take out a white jade bottle. "Quite sensible!"

"Here, this bottle of top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pills is a reward for you."

Lin Yi quickly took it, feigning surprise and delight, but his divine sense had already scanned it.

The texture of the cinnabar is rough, and the medicinal properties are weak; it's definitely a low-quality product.

He was incredibly moved, saying, "Thank you so much for your kindness, senior! I am deeply grateful!"

In his mind, he was cursing: Who cares about your worthless pills? The ones I usually gnaw on like candy are top-quality stuff!

then.

He raised his head and said sincerely, "I have no way to repay such kindness from you, senior!"

"Perfect timing! I also have something I'd like to offer to you, senior!"

After saying that, he reached for his storage ring.

"This is it!"

A glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he suddenly flung his hand away!

He threw out a demonic corpse that had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, and the violent spiritual energy instantly warped the space inside the imperial carriage!

"burst!!!"

Without saying a word, he detonated the demonic corpse!

At the same time, several speed-enhancing talismans were slapped onto his legs!

"Damn it, I'm going all in!"

boom!!!

The explosion resounded high in the sky, and the magnificent imperial carriage was instantly torn to shreds by the violent energy!

Wood chips, jewels, and silk flew everywhere!

Although Lin Yi had taken precautions, the shockwave still made his internal organs feel displaced.

"Lin Yi! You're asking for it!!!"

From the center of the explosion came Sima Liuying's shocked and angry roar. A nascent soul light protected her, but she was clearly in a sorry state.

Using the force of the explosion and the Swiftness Talisman, Lin Yi was already hundreds of miles away, speeding forward at breakneck speed!

"Goodbye, you old hag!"

In the blink of an eye, he had already traveled over a thousand miles, quickly found a hidden crevice in a mountain stream, and plunged inside.

With a thought, he entered the spiritual spring space.

All contact with the outside world was instantly severed, and the suffocating feeling of being locked on by the Nascent Soul monster's divine sense completely disappeared.

"call!"

He slumped to the ground, wiping away cold sweat. "Now, you won't be able to find me, will you?"

High in the sky, Sima Liuying hovered in place, her clothes slightly disheveled, her beautiful face covered with frost.

His divine sense swept across a radius of a thousand miles, but he found nothing.

That Foundation Establishment stage kid just vanished into thin air.

"It can completely block my divine sense from probing!"

"Lin Yi!"

She spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice as cold as a knife, "Fine, very well! I'll remember you!"

"Even if I have to search the entire Southern Region, I will find you!"

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yi nestled in the spiritual spring space, munching on spiritual fruits and soaking in the spring water, living a rather comfortable life.

But he couldn't let go of those women from the Dan Ding Sect.

Ruan Qingzhu, Ye Qingwan, Xin Zhilei, Ji Ziyue, Mu Yun'er...

What if that old hag Sima Liuying can't catch him and turns to them to vent her anger?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't stay still any longer.

He extended his divine sense to scan the area, and after confirming that there was no danger outside, he flashed out of the spiritual spring space.

The surroundings were quiet; the old hag's aura had long since dissipated.

"We can't go back to the Pill Cauldron Sect for the time being. Who knows if that old hag might be lurking nearby?"

Just as I was wondering where to go, a familiar figure came into view.

It was Ji Ziyue, who was tiptoeing around looking for someone.

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he quickly sent a telepathic message, "Zi Yue! I'm here!"

Ji Ziyue looked over at the sound and saw that Lin Yi was unharmed. She first breathed a sigh of relief, then a hint of resentment appeared on her face.

"Lin Yi! You really escaped from Sima Liuying's clutches?"

"Your presence suddenly vanished, and I searched for you for days, thinking you were dead!"

Lin Yi smugly wrapped his arm around her waist. "Of course! Don't you know who your man is? A mere mid-Nascent Soul cultivator thinks he can keep me? Dream on!"

Ji Ziyue rolled her eyes at him, but her eyes were filled with amusement. "You're so smug! Do you know how angry you made Sima Liuying?"

"The news has spread throughout the entire Southern Region; everyone's saying you're the first Foundation Establishment cultivator to make the Thousand-Faced Demoness suffer a setback!"

Lin Yi's lips twitched.

Oh no, now I'm completely famous.

Being targeted by a vengeful old hag in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm means the days ahead are likely to be tough.

He thought to himself: That old bastard Wei Xian had better not hold on any longer and obediently come back to him.

Thinking about it, he sensed the wisp of Wei Xian's life essence that he had captured in the spiritual spring space.

"You old fool, you think you can run away? I'll give you a little appetizer first!"

He grinned wickedly and gently touched that wisp of life soul with his divine sense.

Thousands of miles away, Wei Xian, who was traveling through the mountains, suddenly stumbled.

"Huh?!"

Lin Yi put in even more effort.

Wei Xian suddenly clutched his head, a sharp, piercing pain shooting through his remnant soul.

"What's going on? Although my spirit is damaged, my foundation is solid. Why am I inexplicably in pain?"

He stopped his escape light and scanned his surroundings warily, but found nothing.

Lin Yi was still not satisfied.

They directly sent the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty to them from afar!

Wei Xian screamed in agony, "Agh!!!"

He was in so much pain that he tumbled and rolled in mid-air, tears welling up in his eyes.

"I've escaped this far! How can that little devil's torture still work from so far away?!"

He was terrified and tried to keep running despite the excruciating pain.

But the next second, he suddenly realized.

"No! This pain is not an illusion!"

"Oh no! My life soul... when did my life soul lose a wisp of its essence?!"

"It's that kid! He tampered with the spiritual spring space!"

Wei Xian felt utterly hopeless.

With the essence of his life force firmly in Lin Yi's grasp, no matter where he fled, Lin Yi could make him wish he were dead with a mere thought.

Moreover, with his life soul incomplete, he will never be able to return to his peak condition in this lifetime.

"Ugh! I'm so angry!!"

"This kid's cunning and methods are simply unprecedented! From the moment he agreed to let me go, he had already dug a trap for me!"

Wei Xian was so frustrated he was about to explode, so he started blasting wildly at the surrounding mountains and forests, taking his anger out on the flowers and plants.

Lin Yi found a secluded cave and had a passionate encounter with Ji Ziyue.

Afterwards, Ji Ziyue leaned against him, her voice soft and gentle, "Lin Yi, come back to the sect with me. Everyone is quite worried about you."

Lin Yi's large hand roamed around her waist, and he said with a wicked smile, "No rush, Qingwan is here to protect us at the sect."

"Come with me to Biyun City first. I'm afraid those bastards from the Great Chu Dynasty won't be able to find me and will turn around and cause trouble for my third uncle and the Lin family."

Ji Ziyue glared at him, "You, all you do is cause trouble. Fine, I'll do whatever you say."

Lin Yi immediately used the Thousand Faces Illusion Technique. His bones crackled and popped, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a burly man with a full beard.

Ji Ziyue covered her mouth and laughed, "You really do look a bit like those three Qiang Xiong brothers."

"Hey, I stole my inspiration from them."

Lin Yi stroked the prickly fake beard, his voice becoming rougher, "Let's go, my Lady Ji!"
