A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

"Wait a moment..."

Seeing that Jiang Changyi was about to make a move, Ye Chen hurriedly shouted loudly.

With a wave of his hand, he grasped the immortal sword out of thin air, ready to defend himself.

Even with the Immortal Sword in hand, he wasn't confident he could defeat Jiang Changyi before him...

Jiang Changyi paused, looked at Ye Chen with a strange expression, and said with a sneer.

"Kid, are you scared?"

"It's too late to be afraid now..."

"You dare hurt my son? I'll take your life..."

He snorted coldly, and a terrifying pressure erupted from his body, enveloping the entire courtyard like a mountain pressing down...

"Pfft!"

Ye Chen felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood...

His body couldn't withstand even a single wave of pressure.

"Nascent Soul Stage!"

His expression turned extremely grim. Although he had suspected something was amiss, he still felt a sense of fear when he truly sensed the oppressive aura emanating from the other party...

Jiang Changyi looked smug. "Boy, now that you know my cultivation level, don't bother struggling. An ant like you can be killed with a flick of my finger..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression darkened, but he did not doubt it in the slightest.

Against a Golden Core stage opponent, he might have a sliver of hope even at the cost of serious injury, wielding his immortal sword. But against a Nascent Soul stage expert, he had absolutely no chance...

"I admit defeat. I never expected Meng Fan to have such a powerful backer like you..."

"You can kill me, but before I die, there's one thing I want to know..."

"What is it?" Jiang Changyi asked, raising an eyebrow. Seeing that Ye Chen had given up struggling, he wasn't in a hurry to kill him...

"Meng Fan's surname is Meng, but there isn't a single peak master with the surname Meng in the inner sect of Qingyun Sect. How come you're his father?" Ye Chen asked, feigning confusion.

"What is it..." Jiang Changyi said with a sneer, "Meng Fan only took his mother's surname. Sooner or later, I will make him change his surname back to Jiang and return to the Jiang family..."

"From now on, his name will be Jiang Fan!"

"River?"

Ye Chen was stunned, desperately trying to recall the inner sect peak masters and elders that Lin Ningxue had mentioned to him before...

There are thirteen peak masters in the inner sect, and it seems that there is only one peak master with the surname Jiang!

Jiang Changyi!!!

Guessing the other party's identity, a glimmer of hope ignited in Ye Chen's heart...

There might still be hope!

Ye Chen took a deep breath, staring intently at Jiang Changyi ahead, his heart pounding with tension, his chest heaving...

A direct confrontation is definitely out of the question; he can only rely on strategy now...

He gripped the immortal sword in one hand and stealthily reached behind him with the other, magically grasping the purple-gold gourd out of thin air...

With the purple-gold gourd in his hand, he felt a little more confident!

"Jiang Changyi... if I call your name, will you dare to answer?"

Ye Chen looked at Jiang Changyi in front of him and shouted loudly.

Jiang Changyi: ? ? ?

Jiang Changyi's face darkened, and he said unhappily.

"Boy, do you think you can call me by my name?"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Chen swiftly raised the purple-gold gourd in his hand...

"Jiang Changyi!!!"

"Um?"

Jiang Changyi was taken aback, looking at Ye Chen's strange behavior with a puzzled expression. His gaze fell on the purple-gold gourd, and a sense of unease flashed through his heart...

He hesitated and gave a soft hum, not having had time to react.

The purple-gold gourd instantly locked onto his aura, suddenly emitting a tremendous suction force, and began to devour him frantically...

"How could this be..."

Jiang Changyi noticed something was wrong and his expression changed drastically.

He tried to stop it, but found himself completely paralyzed, his spiritual power sealed, rendering him utterly unable to move...

In just a moment, he shrank to the size of a fingernail and was instantly sucked into the gourd...

The oppressive atmosphere in the courtyard vanished instantly...

"call..."

Seeing that he had successfully sucked Jiang Changyi into the Purple Gold Gourd, Ye Chen's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately relaxed. He let out a long sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his tense face...

"That was close..."

He was almost scared to death just now...

Facing a Nascent Soul cultivator with murderous intent, a moment's carelessness could result in being instantly killed...

Fortunately, Jiang Changyi didn't realize what was happening in time, which is why he fell for the trick of the Purple Gold Gourd.

If Jiang Changyi had attacked without saying a word, he would be a corpse by now...

"Thanks to the precious gourd..."

Ye Chen, panting heavily, looked at the purple-gold gourd in his hand with a beaming smile, his mood greatly improved...

Without Jiang Changyi's threat, he casually sheathed his immortal sword and sent a wisp of his consciousness into the purple-gold gourd...

"Boy, what is this thing? Let me out right now, or I'll tear you to pieces..."

"You bastard! Get out here right now, I'm going to kill you..."

"Damn it... how dare you play tricks on me! Once I get out of here, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

......

In an instant, Jiang Changyi's angry curses echoed in my ears, clearly audible...

Ye Chen's face darkened, and he said irritably.

"Old man, what are you so arrogant about?"

"Once you're here, don't even think about getting out. You're just waiting to die..."

Now that the aliens were on offense and defense, Ye Chen wasn't going to tolerate it and directly cursed back...

So what if it's the Nascent Soul stage?

Once inside the golden gourd, it's like fish meat at his mercy...

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Jiang Changyi flew into a rage and struggled to try and extinguish his will...

The result was that the body was completely unresponsive; the person was soaked in the murky liquid and unable to move, and even the spiritual energy within the body seemed to be sealed and could not be mobilized...

Moreover, he could clearly sense his own spiritual power rapidly dissipating...

It didn't just disappear into thin air; rather, it's being frantically "eaten away" by an invisible force!

Jiang Changyi froze for a moment, his expression changed drastically, and a sense of panic welled up inside him...

If this "force" continues to devour his spiritual energy, it won't be long before he becomes a completely useless cripple...

He tried to stop it, but it was all in vain. The more he struggled, the more panicked he became, and he felt a deep sense of powerlessness...

Feeling truly like a fish on the chopping block is a terrible feeling...

Jiang Changyi lay in a pool of spiritual liquid, his heart filled with despair, and he cried out in terror...

"Kid, you...you let me out, let's talk this out..."

"I can forgive you for what happened to Meng Fan. I promise I will never hold a grudge again and will never seek revenge..."

"Whatever you desire, I can grant it to you: spirit stones, elixirs, magical treasures..."

"Let me out right now! I don't want to stay in this awful place!!!"

......

He screamed desperately, terrified...

Every second at this moment was excruciating for him.

The spiritual energy he had painstakingly cultivated day and night was rapidly draining away, and Jiang Changyi felt as if his heart was bleeding...
