Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather Chapter 1837 - 1108: The Death of Chi Yuan (Part 2)
Previously on Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather...
"What!" Chi Yuan True Monarch was utterly shocked.
This was something he truly didn’t know.
In fact, the Spirit Deer Clan joining the Yang family was something that couldn’t be hidden. Over ten thousand spirit deer traveled four thousand miles to the Yang Family Blessed Land, and then entered the Yang Family Blessed Land, naturally drawing the attention of many people to this matter.
However, the Unpredictable Ghost Sect happened to not pay attention to this matter. They didn’t even bother with the Spirit Deer Clan, thinking that the Spirit Deer Clan had fled again, never imagining that they would come to seek refuge with the Yang family.
It’s understandable that they had this thought. To them, the Yang family was inferior to the Spirit Deer Clan; the spirit deer had no reason to take refuge with the Yang family.
The three formed a surrounding stance, encircling Chi Yuan True Monarch in the middle.
Chi Yuan’s expression changed repeatedly upon seeing this.
How could this be?
Why are there so many Golden Core Cultivators and Demon Kings within the Yang family’s grotto heaven?
If it were only the Green Bull Demon King and Lin Qihe, he felt he could handle it. Killing them might not be easy, but driving them away would be quite simple.
But there was another one: Yue Yao!
Though Yue Yao appeared harmless, she was one of the eight elders of the Wanhua Demon Court, with cultivation comparable to a late-stage Golden Core great cultivator, and her strength even surpassed his by a margin.
"Damn it, why did no one tell me that the Spirit Deer Clan sought refuge with the Yang family?"
He cursed internally, but he seemed to forget that it was he and the Yellow Springs Old Ghost who were responsible for attacking the Yang family; they both failed to thoroughly investigate the Yang family’s situation.
"Since you’ve come, you might as well stay. Just in time for me to present a grand gift to Yang!" Yue Yao said softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, streams of water began to flow from her body, rapidly forming a long river in the blink of an eye, surging with waves directed at Chi Yuan True Monarch.
"You want to make me stay? Let’s see if you have the ability!"
Chi Yuan was not to be outdone. He opened his eyes wide, pupils changing color. From his left eye, patterns of the yellow earth veins emerged, crisscrossed like the great valleys of the earth; from his right eye, a star chart of crimson stardust appeared, resembling the ceaseless rotation of heavenly stars.
Where the two pupils interplayed, a pale golden light beam shot from his brow, breaking through layers of water waves, aiming directly at Yue Yao’s face.
Yue Yao snorted coldly, lightly pointing her slender jade fingers at the incoming golden beam. An invisible barrier manifested at her fingertip, clashing with the golden beam.
There was no booming sound of energy collision, nor any violent fluctuations, only faint, barely noticeable ripples emanating from her fingertips.
The golden beam disappeared, and Yue Yao waved her hand, an invisible force thrusting fiercely at Chi Yuan under the influence of the water waves.
Meanwhile, the Green Bull Demon King and Lin Qihe also made their moves.
Billions of leaves transformed into sharp flying knives, obscuring the sky, rushing down.
Lin Qihe flicked out a flying knife, but it wasn’t a flying sword, it was a flying knife.
A plain, inconspicuous knife, lacking any sharpness or aura, seemingly nonexistent.
It wasn’t nonexistent, it was merely in hiding.
In an instant, this three-inch-long flying knife appeared behind Chi Yuan.
Just as the flying knife appeared, Chi Yuan sensed it, his expression dramatically changed, and he moved sideways attempting to dodge the attack.
But the speed of the knife was beyond his expectation, piercing directly into his chest.
Without even examining the wound, the leaf flying knives from above poured down, forcing him to deploy a defensive spiritual artifact to block them.
He managed to block the multitude of leaf flying knives from the Green Bull Demon King, and Yue Yao’s attack also came at that moment.
Yue Yao’s attack appeared to be soft, seemingly non-threatening, but as it reached him, his defensive spiritual artifact exploded with a bang, and his body was uncontrollably sent flying back tens of miles.
Chi Yuan looked down at the wound on his chest, staring at the cracks appearing on his body, with anger and fear flooding his eyes.
With just one exchange, his Daoist Body suffered significant damage.
Undoubtedly, he was no match for the three opponents before him.
Fighting was not an option!
The only choice left for him now was to flee.
At that moment, all thoughts of joy vanished, leaving only terror in his heart.
Any previous craving and greed for the grotto heaven disappeared without a trace. He no longer wanted the grotto heaven, all he desired was to save his own life.
Without a second thought, he turned to leave the Spirit Origin Land, aiming to enter the Void, knowing that only by entering the Void could he have a chance to restore his vitality.
Yet, just as he was about to leave the Spirit Origin Land, his body paused.
What was happening?
Why couldn’t he leave?
He could sense the void, but he couldn’t enter it!
For the first time, Chi Yuan panicked. He tried three times in a row, but still couldn’t leave the Spirit Origin Land.
Until the attacks from Yue Yao and the other two came again, he had no choice but to abandon the idea of leaving and instead deal with their attacks first.
At this moment within Longevity Lake, the corners of Yang Zhenshan’s mouth curved slightly.
"Did you really think you could come and go here as you please?"
He looked at the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower and chuckled lightly, "Since you’ve come, don’t think about leaving anymore!"
These words were spoken to both Yellow Springs Old Ghost and Chi Yuan True Monarch.
If it were before, he might have been unable to stop Chi Yuan True Monarch, but now stopping Chi Yuan from leaving was no trouble at all.
He had comprehended the Sealing Void, and this Sealing Void’s Dao Intent came from the Life Realm Immortal Palace.
In other words, the Life Realm Immortal Palace originally possessed this capability.
Previously, he couldn’t use it because he didn’t know how, but now he could.
As long as he was willing, he could seal the Life Realm Immortal Palace at any time, preventing those inside from leaving and those outside from entering.
However, maintaining the sealed state was a significant drain on Yang Zhenshan, and he could only sustain it for a limited time, unable to keep the Life Realm Immortal Palace sealed indefinitely.
But that was enough, enough to bury Chi Yuan True Monarch in the Spirit Source Land.
The battle continued, and under the siege of the three, Chi Yuan had almost no ability to fight back.
The strength of Yue Yao was unquestionable; she alone could suppress Chi Yuan.
The Green Bull Demon King wasn’t adept at fighting, but being a Demon King, he could at least hold his ground.
Lin Qihe, though lacking powerful techniques, had his Spiritual Flying Knife and Divine Dao Intent of Void Traversing, leaving his enemies defenseless.
Even though Chi Yuan had a deep foundation, he could hardly protect himself against these three.
As time passed, the cracks on Chi Yuan’s Daoist Body grew, with spiritual mechanisms continually leaking from his body, making him weaker and more terrified.
"No~~"
"Stop, I surrender!"
Finally, he couldn’t hold on!
He didn’t want to die; he still wished to advance further and enjoy longevity for thousands of years.
"Surrender?" Upon hearing this, Yue Yao’s attack softened slightly.
Should his surrender be accepted?
After all, he was a Golden Core Cultivator; if he truly surrendered, it seemed like a good thing for White Jade City!
However, whether Chi Yuan True Monarch’s surrender should be accepted wasn’t her decision.
She looked at Lin Qihe, who mercilessly controlled the Spiritual Flying Knife to pierce through Chi Yuan’s body once more.
"Kill him!" Lin Qihe said coldly.
He had an irreconcilable enmity with the Unpredictable Ghost Sect; since Chi Yuan joined them, he was naturally his enemy, and he wanted to eliminate him swiftly.
Yue Yao hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to follow Lin Qihe’s suggestion.
After all, she had just joined White Jade City, and although her cultivation and strength far surpassed Lin Qihe’s, she couldn’t easily disregard his opinion.
The hand, as white as jade, rotated gently in the air, gathering water currents that surrounded Chi Yuan, forming a vortex.
In the vortex, Chi Yuan seemed like a rag being endlessly torn apart.
His arms, thighs, and head were ripped into pieces in an instant.
"Ah~~" Chi Yuan howled in pain.
Yue Yao continued to control the vortex until Chi Yuan’s Daoist Body completely shattered, his Divine Soul detaching from his Sea of Consciousness, only then did she slowly stop.
Lin Qihe stepped forward and grabbed Chi Yuan’s Divine Soul.
"You’re the first!"
With Chi Yuan’s Divine Soul in his grasp, he felt a temptation to swallow it whole.
Of course, he wouldn’t actually do that, as it served no purpose.
"Is he dead just like that? Yue Yao is truly formidable!"
The Green Bull Demon King, who had been merely watching, approached, looking at Yue Yao with admiration.
Chi Yuan was no nobody, yet he was firmly suppressed by Yue Yao. Although the Green Bull Demon King and Lin Qihe assisted, Yue Yao’s ability to subdue Chi Yuan with ease showed her great strength.
"Qing Niu King flatters me!" Yue Yao smiled, her bright eyes curving into crescents, adding a touch of charm.
"Let’s go! We need to report back to Yang." Lin Qihe said.
The three then returned to the Immortal Palace.
