Ji Yuan witnesses a confrontation between the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint and Granny Xuanling, who has arrived with three other cultivators to protect An Yue and the Demon Slave. The battle begins, revealing a past conflict involving the destruction of Bingtai Palace and targeting female cultivators. As the fight escalates, other onlookers flee, and a grey-robed cultivator joins Ji Yuan to observe.

The gray-robed man was evidently a talkative person. Upon meeting Ji Yuan at this moment, he spoke without reservation:

"However, Granny Xuanling is quite a decent person. Regardless of which path a loose cultivator takes to seek guidance, she is willing to share a thing or two. So within our East Border City territory, she is considered a rare kind cultivator."

"I see."

Ji Yuan nodded slightly and squinted to look.

He could also faintly see that Granny Xuanling indeed looked like she was approaching the end of her days—in essence, her vitality had dried up to the extreme... Thus, trying to defeat the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint today seemed hopeless.

Sure enough, in just a few moments of exchanging blows.

Granny Xuanling was panting heavily as she summoned a dirt-yellow treasure seal, starting to constantly clash with the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint.

But meanwhile, the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint?

Even though Granny Xuanling had already employed her lifebound magical treasure, he continued relying on the trident in his hand, fighting with equal vigor.

He hadn’t even used his Ten Thousand Spirits Soul-Devouring Pot.

The remaining Late-stage Core Formation cultivators... fought evenly, whether it was the three invited by An Yue or the cultivators from Swallow Sea Island.

Further away, An Yue and the demon slave clearly held the upper hand.

Obviously, in this battle of same-tier cultivators, their strength was still considerable.

But so what?

Ultimately, what truly decided the outcome of this battle was the magical combat between Granny Xuanling and the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint.

But in just a short time, the situation had become extremely clear.

The Sea-Swallowing Great Saint was almost pressing against Granny Xuanling while fighting.

And between Granny Xuanling and An Yue, they seemed to still be communicating telepathically.

Ji Yuan noticed An Yue turning her head several times to look at Granny Xuanling, with an extremely complex expression in her eyes.

"What a pity, it seems like this magical combat won’t go any further. The Sea-Swallowing Great Saint indeed deserves his title."

The gray-robed man beside Ji Yuan shook his head, seeming somewhat regretful.

To him, not witnessing the defeat or even the demise of the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint appeared to be extremely disappointing.

Thus, Ji Yuan said:

"Not necessarily."

"What’s uncertain about it?" The gray-robed man turned his head, surprised, looking at him, "the Ten Thousand Spirits Soul-Devouring Pot hasn’t even been used yet, and Granny Xuanling is already unable to hold on."

"When the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint truly uses his lifebound magical treasure, this battle will almost be over."

Ji Yuan smiled, simply saying: "Just watch."

Ji Yuan watched for so long, realizing that the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint had only used techniques and the trident in his hand throughout.

... This Granny Xuanling can’t be this weak, if after fighting for this long, she didn’t even force out the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint’s Ten Thousand Spirits Soul-Devouring Pot.

Let alone other life-saving tricks.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but sigh softly.

"Why do you sigh, fellow cultivator, do you still intend to step in?"

The gray-robed man turned his head again and glanced.

"I wish I could, but based on my Mid-stage Core Formation level, wouldn’t I just be delivering myself to death going up there."

Ji Yuan smiled helplessly.

"True."

The gray-robed man casually nodded.

"Fang Kuan, if you dare kill Granny today, I will kill you!"

An Yue saw that Granny Xuanling was already beaten to the point where blood flowed from her seven orifices, but the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint showed no signs of holding back, eventually yelling angrily.

"Heh, you should worry about whether you can survive."

The Sea-Swallowing Great Saint mocked unreservedly.

After speaking, he gazed at Granny Xuanling across from him, "What, you old hag still holding back a final move, thinking of self-destructing to take me along?"

"You? Is it worthy for me to accompany you in death?"

The Sea-Swallowing Great Saint said as he raised the trident in his hand and fiercely threw it forward.

The trident immediately transformed into a giant sea dragon, roaring as it charged forward.

Granny Xuanling, instead of retreating, advanced, raising her aged hands and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, seemingly attempting to forcefully activate the treasure seal she held.

"This is it?"

The Sea-Swallowing Great Saint spoke, surrounded by a swirling aura that made his long black hair flutter.

He laughed uproariously, raising his right hand, index and middle finger together, then pointed at his forehead.

Soon, strands of water-blue mana flew from his brow, soaring higher and higher until above his head, transforming into a palm-sized magic pot.

Seeing his lifebound magical treasure emerge, Ji Yuan squinted immediately.

The Sea-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Pot was completely water-blue, with two divine dragons etched on both sides, their bodies twisting along the pot, mouths converging at the pot’s opening.

"Others fear your self-destruction, old hag, I am not afraid!"

The Sea-Swallowing Great Saint laughed loudly with disdain.

"Fellow cultivator, they’re fighting to the death, we should hurry and run away."

The gray-robed man beside Ji Yuan saw this and immediately reminded him.

Ji Yuan watched his demeanor and ultimately smiled as he gave a hint.

"Don’t panic, fellow cultivator, just watch a little longer."

"Huh?"

The gray-robed man instinctively opened his mouth.

But soon he realized that the old man standing beside him was gone.

In the distance, above Swallow Sea Island.

Between the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint and Granny Xuanling, a young man in a green robe suddenly appeared.

He faced the Sea-Swallowing Great Saint with his back to Granny Xuanling, then extended a hand and pointed forward, several water-blue flying swords flew out from behind him, forming a sword array.

Amidst everyone’s gaze, Ji Yuan, this Mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, laughed aloud:

"Today, I find you annoying, specifically here to take your worthless life!"
