I work as a veterinarian in the mountains, and at the beginning of the game, I find Daji (a legendar

But in reality, none of the four of them actually made a move from beginning to end.

It's as if they're all waiting for some opportune moment.

"Hmm, finally decided to speak up?"

Seeing that the man in black robes would no longer remain silent, Moxi, Baihua, and Meiting immediately formed a triangle around him.

"Tsk tsk, you three really think highly of this old man. It seems there's no point in me hiding any longer~ Hahahaha~"

An aged laugh came from beneath the black robe.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of wrinkled hands grasped the edge of the black robe's hood and slowly pulled it down.

272. Chen Yuze: It's finally my turn to show off.

As the hood was removed, what appeared before Chen Yuze and the girls was an elderly man with white hair, yet full of energy.

The old man had a classic square face, his white hair was neatly combed back, and even his chin was covered with only a few stubbles. This made him look exceptionally energetic.

At this moment, the old man was scrutinizing Chen Yuze from head to toe with remarkably sharp eyes.

He looked her over and even nodded his chin.

Judging from his smiling face, he was clearly very satisfied with Chen Yuze.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! I never imagined that this young fellow could gather such a terrifying power all by himself. Young fellow, why don't you consider joining forces with this old man to pull off something big? With the power you possess, plus my support from behind... young fellow, you are destined to be the only king of these Ten Thousand Mountains in the future!"

"I'm sorry, I don't have much interest in things like being a king or a hegemon."

With a smile, Chen Yuze politely declined the old man's offer, but then immediately changed the subject, asking him a question in a slightly playful tone: "Besides, old man, this is probably how you made empty promises to Wang Wei and his two younger brothers back then, right?"

"Tsk."

The kind smile on his face was instantly replaced by a ruthless look.

After realizing that Chen Yuze wasn't buying it, the old man immediately changed his tune: "That's why I hate dealing with overly clever people."

"You can't say that, can you?" Chen Yuze shrugged, both amused and exasperated.

"Rather than saying I'm too smart, it's more accurate to say that your acting is terrible, old man. You don't actually think that just because you killed Canglan not long ago, you can fool people with this clumsy acting, do you?"

"So, we've already broken up?" Raising an eyebrow, the old man suddenly unleashed an incredibly pure spiritual energy.

That's right, it's not demonic power, but spiritual power! It's even the spiritual power of a Great Perfection cultivator!

"Old man, are you threatening me?"

As soon as Chen Yuze spoke, two streams of demonic power, both at the Great Perfection of the Mahayana stage, and another at the late Mahayana stage, began to confront the old man's spiritual power from a distance. And before long, they suppressed the old man's rampant spiritual power, forcing it back into its own domain.

"Two demon emperors and one dragon king?" A cold glint flashed in his eyes. Although the old man had been suppressed by the combined forces of Moxi, Baihua and Meiting in the first round of the battle, there was not a trace of panic on his face.

"Kid, I don't know what methods you used to make these ambitious women so devoted to you. But I'll ask you one last time, are you really not going to cooperate with me?"

"Then I'll say it one last time: I'm not that interested in the idea of ​​a shrewd ruler. Most importantly, I think you look a lot like my junior high school's head of the political education department. I was even forced to get a buzz cut back then, which was really bad luck."

"Good, very good!" (Seeing Chen)

Yuze rejected his offer once again, so the old man simply stopped pretending to be polite: "Kid, don't blame me for killing you and your lover today!"

"Speaking wildly."

Displeased, she looked at the old man who had suddenly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, the long whip in Moxi's hand had already lashed down towards the old man's skull.

"Tsk tsk, monsters are indeed very irritable."

He narrowly avoided Moxi's whip, but the violent gust of wind still managed to cut a gash on the old man's face.

However, he himself didn't seem to care much about such a minor injury.

After touching his wound, the old man spread his hands and asked Chen Yuze calmly, "Boy, do you know what the biggest advantage of demonic beasts is over humans?"

"You mean, innate talent?"

“That’s right.” Maintaining the open-handed posture, the old man continued:

"The innate talents of demonic beasts greatly increase their potential. Some demonic beasts of noble bloodlines even have the ability to easily kill Nascent Soul cultivators when they are young. Therefore, when human cultivators face demonic beasts, even if they are at the same cultivation level, they are mostly no match for them."

"And then?" Frowning, Chen Yuze felt a sense of unease for some reason. "You're not going to say that humans need extraordinary opportunities or rare treasures to fight against demonic beasts? And you are such a being?"

"No, no, no." The old man withdrew his outstretched hands and smiled helplessly.

"To be honest, my talent can only be considered slightly above average. Moreover, I don't really have any rare and precious treasures to offer. As for opportunities, the reason I've been able to live to this age and possess this Great Perfection of the Mahayana stage is because I've always consciously or unconsciously suppressed the greed in my nature. Do you understand what I mean?"

"So, you have neither rare treasures nor any extraordinary opportunities. You've only achieved your current success through a cautious and methodical approach to survival?" Chen Yuze paused. "Isn't he just an ordinary old man with slightly higher cultivation? What makes you think you can beat us on your own?"

"I never said I could defeat you all on my own." The old man shook his finger and said seriously, "To be honest, I should be grateful if I could escape unscathed from either of these two demon emperors and the dragon king. The reason I'm so confident I can defeat you is because I'm not alone!"

"An ambush?" Sensing something was wrong, Zheng Yi immediately released her divine sense, scanning the entire Iris Mountain.

However, apart from the old man in front of her, her divine sense did not detect anything else.

“No need to look anymore, he’s the only one here.” After squeezing Zhengyi’s little hand to show him there was no need to be so tense, Chen Yuze continued, “I think he meant that there’s a huge force behind him that we can’t even imagine. Am I right, old man?”

"Hehe, it's definitely easier to talk to humans. Unlike demon beasts, even if they transform into humans, they still retain their wild nature."

“I don’t think it’s a bad thing.”

"It doesn't matter." Shrugging, the old man continued, "But speaking of which, haven't you ever wondered why Triangle Cat chose Iris Mountain as the location for this duel?"

"It's nothing more than some kind of trap set here." The moment he said this, Chen Yuze finally realized why he felt chest tightness.

The real danger isn't that old thing in front of us, but this Iris Mountain.

However, there's not much point in saying all this now.

So even knowing there were problems on this Iris Mountain, Chen Yuze gritted his teeth and shouldered the burden with the girls.

"Old man, bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve."

"What spirit!"

With the old man's shout, a dark red array instantly enveloped the entire Iris Mountain.

The moment this grand formation was unleashed, the girls around Chen Yuze all felt an indescribable strangeness.

The only two unaffected were Chen Yuze and Lu Qianya, who were genuine humans.

"Hehe, feeling bad, everyone?"

Seeing the solemn expressions on the faces of the women, a hint of excitement gradually appeared on the old man's face: "This great formation is made using the blood of a saint. It can not only affect the circulation of demonic power within the body of a demon beast, but also temporarily disrupt the bloodline of the demon beast with the blood of a saint, sealing the demon beast's innate supernatural abilities."

"This is... the Demon-Sealing Formation!?" As the strongest being who reigns over the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Bai Hua immediately recognized the formation.

"That's right. Eight thousand years ago, demon beasts and human cultivators fought a fierce battle. This demon-sealing formation was developed by human sages at that time to suppress the advantages of demon beasts. However, my target from the beginning was actually only the Tushan Empress. But I never expected that even the Qingqiu Empress and the Dragon King of the Crystal Dragon Palace would fall for it. This is truly an unexpected surprise."

"Hmph, old man. So what if you have this demon-sealing formation? You don't actually think that sealing our innate talents guarantees victory, do you?" He held...

Although the flow of demonic power was hindered by the long whip, and her innate talent became unusable, Mo Xi still didn't think she would lose.

"Of course not. As I said, this demon-sealing formation was only developed to suppress the advantages of demonic beasts. It has no way to completely render demonic beasts unable to resist."

As he said this, the old man took out a large white banner from his storage ring: "However, with the Demon Sealing Formation and this Demon Purification Banner, it's hard to say what will happen."

"The Demon-Purifying Banner!?" Their pupils contracted, and this time, Mo Xi, Bai Hua, and the others finally realized something was wrong.

The terrifying aspect of this Demon-Purifying Banner lies in its ability to sever the pathway by which spiritual energy is transformed into demonic power.

To give an example, if the function of the demon-sealing formation is to block the powerful moves of demonic beasts.

So this Demon-Purifying Banner directly cuts the mana regeneration of demonic beasts to zero per second.

Like human cultivators, demonic beasts replenish their demonic power by absorbing spiritual energy from the air, converting it into demonic power, and storing it within their bodies.

However, once this conversion channel is blocked, the demonic power will naturally be unable to be replenished.

Human cultivators who convert spiritual energy into spiritual power will not be affected in any way.

"It seems this old man really came prepared."

Rubbing his temples, Chen Yuze looked at his wives with expressions of utter alarm. He knew it was finally time for him to show off.

Although there was still a chance to deal with the old man before the girls ran out of mana, Chen Yuze didn't want his girls to take that risk.

"Girls, hide behind me. This time, it's my turn to protect you!"

273. Mahayana Experience Card

After shielding the girls behind him, Chen Yuze silently recited a prayer in his heart.

"System, I want to use the Mahayana stage cultivation experience card."

[Ding! Mahayana stage cultivation experience card successfully used. This system is not responsible for any accidents or losses incurred during the experience period. Please take care.]

As the system's long-lost voice rang in his mind, Chen Yuze took a step forward.

Seeing Chen Yuze's action, the girls couldn't help but feel a chill.

Daji and Ruyi even subconsciously reached out their hands, trying to pull him back.

However, before their fingers could even touch Chen Yuze's clothes, an extremely chaotic spiritual energy surged out from Chen Yuze's body.

Immediately afterwards, the fluctuations of spiritual energy surged at an extremely rapid pace.

In the blink of an eye, he had already made rapid progress from the initial stage of the Void Refinement realm to the current Great Perfection realm.

"What...what's going on?"

Sensing the spiritual power emanating from Chen Yuze, which was in no way inferior to her own, Mo Xi couldn't help but widen her eyes in astonishment.

The other girls present also stared in shock, their mouths agape.

Clearly, no one expected that Chen Yuze had such a hidden trick up his sleeve.

If even the girls who spend every day with him are like this, then the old man in black robes is naturally no better.

Staring at Chen Yuze as if he'd seen a ghost, all his previous disdain and indifference had vanished. Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Yuze was extremely serious.

"Kid, you've been playing dumb to fool me!!!"

Finally, he spoke.

To this, Chen Yuze simply shrugged and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Old man, you don't really think everyone will lay their cards on the table, do you?"

"I underestimated you."

"Alright, old man, stop being so hypocritical." Raising an eyebrow, Chen Yuze didn't rush to make a move: "Tell me your name. I, Chen Yuze, never kill nameless nobody."

"Want to know my name so you can trace back to the organization behind me? What a cunning little thing."
