The stolen magic is a bit magical

Yang Jiulie sensed the unusual movement of the great formation and was overjoyed. He activated all his cultivation, and the "lamp" at the back of his head shone brightly...

Just then, a void rift suddenly appeared behind Yang Jiulie.

It appeared so abruptly, so quickly.

Yang Jiulie sensed it and his whole body trembled. He dodged with lightning speed.

The moment they successfully dodged it, the platform collapsed, and the lamp shattered into pieces.

Chi!
Three Dao leaves pierced through the air and shot into Yang Jiu's brow.

Yang Jiulie's eyes widened suddenly: "Yin Jiuyou, you deserve to die..."

Before the sound faded, the rift in the void returned!
Yang Jiu let out a miserable scream and was swept into the void rift, which then closed...

At the same time, all the bases of the Four Seasons Formation shattered, and the formation ceased to function.

Yin Jiuyou's body trembled, and he slowly withdrew his Dharma body.

The spectacular array formations were no longer visible.

What lies before him is merely his dark valley.

Dark and cold.

The setting sun casts its slanting rays, creating an atmosphere of boundless desolation.

A wisp of blood mist hung in the air—proof that his senior brother hadn't gone far...

On the left-hand mountain peak, countless high-ranking disciples of the Yin-Yang Sect appeared, gazing in the direction of Yin Valley with expressions of astonishment.

After the fierce battle, the Enlightenment Realm Dharma Body manifested, but due to the obstruction of the great formation, no one else knew about it.

Only when the most renowned Four Seasons Grand Array of Yin Yang Temple was completely destroyed did they become alarmed.

The disciples were eager to know what had happened, but they still couldn't find out.

From their perspective, the Yin Valley was shrouded in darkness, a curtain of darkness created by the Abbot's "Heavenly Curtain," which blocked all investigation and sound.

Within the Yin Valley, Feng Ji could not see the Heavenly Dao Curtain.

She had somehow gotten into Lin Xiaosu's hand.

Her palms were sweaty.

Yang Jiulie was killed solely because of the Dao of Formations.

The array is gone now.

Faced with Yin Jiuyou, a standard level of enlightenment, what countermeasures could they possibly have?

From the outside, Lin Xiaosu didn't seem flustered.

However, Feng Ji knew perfectly well that whether a person was panicking or not could not be judged by their appearance alone. At least on this junior brother's face, you would never be able to see his true inner emotions.

Lin Xiaosu is smiling.

Yes, smile!
Yin Jiuyou's hair fluttered gently in the setting sun. At this moment, his face had completely lost its usual carefree attitude, and was so gloomy that it could send chills down one's spine.

"Master Yin, congratulations on successfully taking over the Yin-Yang Temple!" Lin Xiaosu said with a smile.

Yin Jiuyou raised an eyebrow slightly: "How do you know this is what I want?"

"Whether you want it or not depends on the time and circumstances. Even if you didn't want it before, you probably have no choice now!" Lin Xiaosu said calmly. "Life is like rape. If you can't resist, then just enjoy it!"

"Can't resist?" Yin Jiuyou's voice seemed to come from the deepest hell.

Feng Ji tensed up all over.

My inner voice screamed, "This is terrible..."

She really wanted to remind her arrogant junior brother beside her that she really shouldn't provoke him right now...

Lin Xiaosu smiled and said, "Let me show the abbot a picture!"

He raised his hand, and a pair of glasses sat on his nose.

With a gentle blink, an image appeared in the air.

It was footage of the duel between Yin Jiuyou and Yang Jiulie.

Shot with longan, high-definition image quality.

Yin Jiuyou's face was ashen, and his eyelids twitched violently...

Although he used the "Taoist Heavenly Curtain" to isolate himself from all sides, he still felt a great sense of humiliation upon witnessing what had just happened.

As a cultivator in the Enlightenment Realm, he killed his senior brother in order to survive.

In the realm of spiritual practice, this is more than just outrageous.

This is something that can't possibly be brought to light...

“Master Yin, if this image gets out, your lifelong reputation will be ruined. Furthermore, you will probably have no face to lead your disciples at Yin Yang Temple, and your life’s work will be easily destroyed,” Lin Xiaosu said.

A glint of light flashed in Yin Jiuyou's eyes, seemingly exploding suddenly: "Boy, you're trying to blackmail me with this? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you to silence you?"

Feng Ji's right hand was on the hilt of her sword, and her left hand was on a token...

Lin Xiaosu slowly leaned down: "If I told you that I could kill you with a wave of my hand if you dared to silence me, would you believe me?"

Just as the token in Feng Ji's hand was about to shatter, it was stopped.

Yin Jiuyou stared coldly at Lin Xiaosu, the dark light in his eyes suddenly freezing.

The atmosphere froze completely.

This space was suffocatingly deadly.

Lin Xiaosu smiled gently: "If you're unsure whether I have a trump card up my sleeve, you might as well stay on the sidelines and watch!"

"Stay on the sidelines?" Yin Jiuyou said in a deep voice.

"You will temporarily assume the position of the sole master of the temple, and do not make any decisions for now. Just observe what I will do!" Lin Xiaosu said. "Next, I will definitely kill a person at the Enlightenment Realm with my own hands. You can watch from the sidelines. You will also be glad that we had goodwill towards each other at the beginning of our relationship, which is why I did not let you embark on this path of no return."

Yin Jiuyou's expression shifted dramatically...

Just stand by and watch!

They did not insist that he lead the Yin-Yang Temple, but rather that he stand behind him.

This is acceptable!
Once he calmed down, his nonchalant expression returned: "Back then, did you really have good intentions?"

"nature!"

"Will you still have good intentions going forward?"

"Master Yin's words are naive!" Lin Xiaosu said, "If you are kind, I will be kind. If you play tricks, I will play tricks on you until you doubt your existence. Don't think that just because you have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, you are an old fox. Living in a desolate place like Kuncang, living for ten thousand years is the same as zero!"

Yin Jiuyou's face was unreadable: "Kid, don't you think you're being incredibly arrogant?" "So what?" Lin Xiaosu reached out and grabbed Feng Ji's hand: "Goodbye, let's go!"

The two stepped out.

Feng Ji's heart skipped a beat. Was she about to jump into the underworld?
Because beneath their feet lay a bottomless abyss, dark and gloomy, with no end in sight.

However, with a gentle flick of Lin Xiaosu's hand, a crack appeared in the bottomless abyss...

The green hills and clear waters below were revealed.

The two took a step and left the Yin-Yang Temple.

Yin Jiuyou's sinister eyes were like the demonic lamp on the other side of the crack...

I stared at their receding figures for a long time.

On the distant river, a pair of eyes were also fixed on Yin Valley.

For the first time in his life, the owner of these eyes was no longer carefree.

He is Zheng Tianyan.

Even though he was a highly accomplished cultivator, he could roam freely throughout Kuncang.

However, he didn't dare to openly trespass into the Yin-Yang Temple.

We can only observe from a distance.

What did he see?
He saw the rupture of the Four Seasons Array.

He witnessed Lin Xiaosu arrogantly breaking through the Daoist Heavenly Curtain.

He saw Yin Jiuyou's unusual expression: furious yet utterly helpless.

He didn't see Yang Jiu Lie...

What happened?
Suddenly, the Dao bell rang!
The tolling of the bells was infinitely mournful...

Oh my God!
Zheng Tianyan's heart tightened as he stepped into the Yin-Yang Temple.

The Yin-Yang Temple was deathly silent. On the high platform, a single lamp flickered gently.

Below the high platform, the disciples of the Yin-Yang Temple were in a state of panic.

A solitary figure emerged from the Yin Valley; it was Yin Jiuyou.

Yin Jiuyou ascended the high platform and told the audience in a mournful voice: "My senior brother went astray in his understanding of the laws of Taoism and has passed away. The entire temple holds up the Taoist lamp to send our abbot on his westward journey!"

"Amitabha!" All the spectators stood up in unison, raised their hands, and pointed diagonally to the sky. A tiny point of light emanated from each of their fingertips.

This is how we bid farewell to Yang Jiulie.

Zheng Tianyan remained hidden in the darkness, his heart as still as the spring waters of the river in March.

Yang Jiu Lie is dead!
Did he die from a qigong mishap during practice?

He practices his skills every day, and has never gone astray?
He lost his temper when Lin Xiaosu came to visit today!
This……

Is this Lin Xiaosu's trump card?
Easily wipe out a master of the Enlightenment Realm?

A night breeze blew by, and Zheng Tianyan's back was covered in a layer of sweat...

If he had insisted on killing the bandit Lin today, wouldn't he himself have been the one sent away right now?
As a giant in the Enlightenment Realm, few people in Kun Cang, a special space where the Enlightenment Realm reigns supreme, face life-or-death dangers. Today, Zheng Tianyan truly experienced such a life-or-death situation...

On the Spring River.

The sky was filled with stars.

Lin Xiaosu sat at the bow of the boat, gazing at the starry sky.

Tonight, the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Outside, the New Year's greetings were not yet finished.

In Kuncang, there seems to be no New Year's custom; all that exists is the endless world of rivers and lakes, without beginning or end.

The river flows gently away, while starlight gently caresses our faces.

Feng Ji's voice sounded like a sigh: "Another giant has fallen. How much of a ripple will this cause in Kun Cang?"

"This giant is probably destined to make no waves."

"No?"

"Yin Jiuyou will tell the Yin-Yang audience that his senior brother suffered a qi deviation during cultivation and thus passed away, without mentioning me," Lin Xiaosu said with a smile.

Feng Ji said, "Sometimes the way you handle things is really hard to understand. If I were in your shoes and in control of the whole situation, I would probably send both of them away at the same time, rather than gambling on whether Yin Jiuyou would turn against me."

Lin Xiaosu sighed softly: "Senior sister, do you think I really want to gamble? This is actually the tragedy of being inferior in strength. If you could really control everything, who would want to walk a tightrope?"

Feng Ji's eyes widened...

"That great formation has actually reached its limit. It has completed its mission by killing Yang Jiulie. Killing Yin Jiuyou is beyond its capabilities."

Feng Ji blinked: "You have other trump cards up your sleeve."

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Trying to find out my background?"

"It's not about probing, it's actually... revealing your hand!" Feng Ji said, "You'll definitely have more adventures to come, and I need to know when I need to summon my master in advance."

"At this stage, we should not disturb them," Lin Xiaosu said. "On the eve of a major change, a single move can have far-reaching consequences. If they leave the mountain, there may be unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, it is best not to disturb them unless absolutely necessary."

Feng Ji nodded gently: "That's why I'm so curious to know if you have any trump cards up your sleeve, and what kind of trump cards they are."

Her voice was incredibly sensitive and perceptible.

“We do have a trump card! Killing a cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm is definitely possible, but… we can’t use this trump card unless absolutely necessary!” Lin Xiaosu said.

"Disposable?" Feng Ji's heart skipped a beat.

"almost!"

"Where to go next?" Feng Ji stopped playing her trump cards.

Because she already fully understands.

A one-time trump card is especially crucial in a situation.

Before it is used, its deterrent effect is at its greatest; after it is used, it loses its deterrent effect.

Therefore, the timing of using this trump card is extremely important.

She trusted him and knew how to choose.
