I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 505 Silencing the Witness (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Fu Yunze coughed up blood and staggered to his feet. Before he could regroup, the enormous black dragon body of the Jade Serpent coiled around him like iron chains, tightening its grip. Fu Yunze roared and unleashed his protective aura to resist the Jade Serpent's all-out strangulation.

Golden flames burst forth from the Burning Prison Blade in Zhao Cangyun's hand, and he leaped up like an arrow, the blade tearing through the wind and thunder, striking straight at the top of his head!

"A mere Golden Core cultivator dares to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator?!"

Fu Yunze's eyes were bloodshot, and the air around him swirled wildly, causing the wind and thunder in the secret realm to rage and roar incessantly. He was actually trying to forcefully break through the suppression of the secret realm and temporarily restore his early Nascent Soul cultivation.

A terrifying Nascent Soul pressure surged forth like a raging torrent, causing the Jade Serpent's scales to clang. Zhao Cangyun's Burning Prison Blade was held in mid-air by the invisible pressure, its golden flames surging and dancing backward, unable to strike even slightly.

Zhao Cangyun clenched his teeth, and cracks began to appear in his clothes and on his skin.

Fu Yunze, whose cultivation was suppressed, could be repelled by the four humans and three demons, but if they were Fu Yunze in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, they would be nothing more than ants that he could destroy with a wave of his hand.

Boom!

The punishing lightning of the secret realm's laws gathered above Fu Yunze's head. If it struck, Fu Yunze would be severely injured, and Zhao Cangyun would die.

But he still didn't back down an inch, his eyes filled with a ruthless determination to not let Fu Yunze leave alive.

Just then, a massive, dark dragon phantom rose up from behind Zhao Cangyun!

The phantom's dark golden vertical pupils looked down upon all living beings, its chilling pressure sweeping like a cold tide from the abyss. With just a glance, Fu Yunze's soul was struck as if by a heavy hammer, and the momentum to break through the limitations of his cultivation suddenly collapsed, revealing an instant flaw in his protective aura.

"die!!"

Zhao Cangyun's eyes flashed with ferocity, and his longsword, wreathed in blazing golden fire, slashed down fiercely. Where the blade passed, Fu Yunze's protective lightning was as fragile as paper, and his body was torn in two by the golden fire. Blood rained down, splashing onto Zhao Cangyun's arrogant eyebrows.

Before Zhao Cangyun could retract his blade, a nascent soul wrapped in lightning hastily escaped through flesh and blood, moving faster than lightning itself.

Fortunately, the Ink Dragon King had anticipated this, and its giant tail swept across the air, blasting out a burst of airflow and precisely slapping the Jade Serpent into its already open, waiting-to-be-fed maw.

Gudong!

Lightning flashed from the Jade Serpent's throat as it swallowed the Nascent Soul whole!
The true form of the Ink Dragon King flashed to the scene, its dragon horn touching the Jade Serpent's brow. Mysterious demonic patterns flashed, instantly sealing the Nascent Soul's violent power.

The jade snake affectionately stretched its head to rub against its mother's head, but was whipped away by the Ink Dragon King's tail, landing in front of Fu Yunze's mutilated corpse, where it was made to deal with the body.

Zhao Cangyun wiped the hot blood from his face, turned around and glanced at Shen Puning, Xin Wushuang and Shang Shixu, his eyes still filled with murderous intent.

"Leave no one behind!"

After saying that, he transformed into a stream of golden fire and plunged into the churning yellow sand behind him to kill the remaining cultivators.

Shen Puning and Xin Wushuang stood there stunned. They had never seen Zhao Cangyun so violent, ruthless, and decisive.

In their minds, Zhao Cangyun was just a silly junior brother who only knew how to follow Jiang Yi.

But Zhao Cangyun at this moment seemed both unfamiliar and natural to them, as if he was always meant to be this way, always using silliness to disguise his innate ferocity.

The sounds of fierce fighting continued throughout the desert. Shen Puning hesitated, "Should we really wipe them all out?"

Xin Wushuang frowned, hesitated for only a moment, then blew a short whistle to summon Wanli, gripped his longbow tightly, turned around, and charged into the yellow sand domain to assist Zhao Cangyun in silencing him.

Shang Shixu said to Shen Puning, "If we don't silence them all today, we'll be the ones silenced tomorrow. When they attack us, it will be a fight to the death!"

Shang Shixu played the flute without the slightest hesitation.

Shen Puning swallowed hard, then finally stamped her foot, "Baozhu, help me!"

In no time, the cultivators trapped in the Yellow Sand Domain were slaughtered by the four men and the demons, leaving none alive. Without Zhao Cangyun and the Ink Dragon King giving any orders, the demons had already disposed of the corpses on their own. It was at this moment that Jiang Yi appeared. The Earthly Fiend Yellow Spring Pearl returned to her hand, and with her magic power, she continued to expand the Yellow Sand Domain, including the area where she was fighting fiercely with Fu Yunze on the outer perimeter.

Mo Jiao Wang took Fu Yunze's storage ring and handed it to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi then tossed it to Zhao Cangyun and the others to divide among themselves, as it was their spoils of war.

"Senior, do you have any spells to erase traces of this place and prevent detection?" Jiang Yi asked the Ink Dragon King.

The Ink Dragon King nodded. Having survived for hundreds of years in the Northern Xuan Underground, without such methods, the demon race would have been wiped out by human cultivators long ago.

After the scene was cleaned up, Jiang Yi and the others walked away from the demon race. The Ink Dragon King, in its original form, exhaled a cloud of black mist over the area.

Mo Jiao is naturally fond of water, and Jiang Yi could tell that this black mist was a special kind of water mist. As the water mist spread, the heavy blood energy and traces of the battle in this place all dissolved in the water.

A young man's voice came from the Heart-Piercing Mirror, which was held in Hua Gu's arms beside Jiang Yi.

"The mist contains the aura of the 'Weak Water of the Styx,' which possesses the power of 'annihilation.' If one cultivates to a high level with this water, one can master the law of annihilation. Not only can it eliminate other energies, but it can even directly eliminate some laws. It is an extremely powerful strange water from ancient times."

As Zhu Xin spoke, Jiang Yi noticed that Hua Gu suddenly frowned and tightened her grip on the Zhu Xin Mirror, as if she was resisting something.

Before Jiang Yi could ask, Zhu Xin's violent and irritable voice rang out.

"You worthless piece of cotton, did you grow a head just to make yourself taller? If you really can't, tear off a bit of Hongli's extra skin and stick it on your face. Still feeling embarrassed? Look at how Hongli is fighting and grabbing it. Is she embarrassed?"

Hongli: ? ? ?
Hua Gu blushed upon hearing this and quickly stuffed the Heart-Piercing Mirror into Jiang Yi's hand.

"I mean, silence him!"

Jiang Yi chuckled, guessing that Zhu Xin wanted Hua Gu to find a way to get some of the Black Dragon King's 'Styx Weak Water' for cultivation, but Hua Gu was too embarrassed and angered Zhu Xin.

The fox-like Hong Li was a little slow to react, but once she turned around, she bared her teeth and said, "Who are you calling shameless? Who's been fighting and snatching?"

“Hongli, don’t be angry. We won’t talk to him anymore.”

Hua Gu leaned over and stroked Hong Li's head to soothe her.

After the Ink Dragon King finished cleaning up the traces at the scene, Zhao Cangyun walked to Jiang Yi's side and said, "Senior Sister, I controlled some Sky-Splitting Owls to make sure that no one else is approaching."

Jiang Yi nodded and released Zhenshan and Duanjin again.

"We're not far from the exit now. Leave the rest to me. You should all revert to your original identities and go find your respective fellow disciples. If you all suddenly disappear at the same time, it will be more troublesome to investigate later."

Shen Puning walked over and said, "Ayi, why don't you wait until the entrance to the secret realm is about to close before taking everyone out? By then, even if they want to come in to investigate, they won't have the chance."

Before Jiang Yi could speak, Shang Shixu said, "That would only give others something to criticize. The traces here have been eliminated. The friction over there in the Rift Valley was 'normal.' Let Lei Jizong come in and investigate. Senior Sister Jiang should only acknowledge what happened over there in the Rift Valley and deny ever meeting Fu Yunze and the others."

Xin Wushuang nodded, "Yes, some things can't be done too 'flawlessly'."

Jiang Yi nodded with a smile. Although Xin Wushuang was still aloof and straightforward all these years, she had matured a lot compared to when she was young. It was clear that she had experienced a lot and thought a lot during her years as a rogue cultivator.

On the contrary, Shen Puning, perhaps because she was protected too well by Xin Wushuang and Huiyuan Zhenjun, still retained some naivety, but Jiang Yi thought that was also good.

"Someone's coming!" Zhao Cangyun suddenly looked towards the rift valley. "It looks like Lei Shijiu from the Lei family. I'll have Lie Kongxiao hold them off for a while."

Upon hearing this, Shen Puning immediately said, "I'll go 'rescue' him and go out with him. I'll be going now. Be careful, and we'll meet at the general store later."

The group nodded to each other and then dispersed. Jiang Yi and the Ink Dragon King led more than five hundred demons and rushed towards the exit of the secret realm.
