Chen Jiuyang, who had been sitting in the pavilion on Fengcheng Mountain for a long time, remained uneasy.
Too much time had passed.
Unable to suppress his anxiety any longer, Chen Jiuyang dared not wait any further and flew directly towards Shushan via the shortest route.
At an altitude of ten thousand meters, his vast and terrifying divine soul spread out, disregarding the exposure of his whereabouts. He sensed Ye Tiannan's presence.
And so, he witnessed Wang Jiegua and Qin Rouyu enveloped within the divine ability of Myriad Sword Long Rainbow, pursued by a divine sword of a first-grade Dao artifact.
Chen Jiuyang instantly unleashed the Heavenly Will Four Symbols Arrow, using the Yan Sheng Saber as an arrow to send the divine sword of the first-grade Dao artifact flying. Only then did he rescue Qin Rouyu, and Wang Jiegua beside her was also enveloped by his magical power.
Holding the beauty in his arms and listening to her cries, Chen Jiuyang's heart finally settled. He gently stroked Qin Rouyu's back, comforting her:
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm here."
Having just rescued Qin Rouyu, Wang Jiegua, and the child, they were still reeling from their recent despair.
Being pursued by a Grand Dao realm cultivator while in the Nascent Soul stage... such a shadow...
Wang Jiegua hugged the child and sobbed, covering her face.
A moment later, a streak of light shot towards them. The first-grade Dao artifact divine sword, which had been sent flying by Chen Jiuyang's Yan Sheng Saber, now hurtled towards the streak of light.
Chen Jiuyang saw Ye Tiannan being held in the hand of a disheveled middle-aged Daoist, like a dead dog. Although heavily injured, he was still alive and could be saved.
It seemed that Qin Rouyu's identity had been discovered by the Immortal Alliance.
In an instant, Chen Jiuyang assessed the situation. Within the Immortal Alliance, there was no one among the younger generation who could contend with Ye Tiannan.
"Heh heh..." the Sanlan Daoist flew over, his voice preceding his arrival, "Let's see where else you can run..."
"It seems you still have backup. To think someone would come to save you, truly ambitious."
The moment his voice fell, his figure also landed in front of Wang Jiegua.
Due to the different angle of vision, and with Qin Rouyu being held, the Sanlan Daoist did not see who was holding Qin Rouyu.
Chen Jiuyang suddenly turned, facing the Sanlan Daoist, his expression grim, his eyes cold, looking at him as if he were already dead.
"Rumble!!!"
When the Sanlan Daoist clearly saw Chen Jiuyang holding Qin Rouyu, his face stiffened abruptly, as if struck by lightning. His body trembled uncontrollably, and then his face turned deathly pale.
"He..."
"How could he appear here..."
"Wasn't the intelligence saying he was going to the Green Bamboo Spirit Domain to prepare for his tribulation and advance to the Emperor Dao..."
"For a woman, he came all the way here?"
Even with the Immortal Alliance's schemes, those old, long-lived cultivators did not understand the younger generation and could not comprehend emotions.
From their perspective, no matter how they schemed, between a woman and advancing to the Emperor Dao, Chen Jiuyang would inevitably choose the latter. Who would have thought that before advancing to the Emperor Dao, he would dare to appear again rashly?
Those cold eyes fell upon him, and then Chen Jiuyang's indifferent voice rang out, "Will you commit suicide, or shall I personally kill you?"
Locked by Chen Jiuyang's will, that terrifying, mountain-like, god-like personal martial will, spanning heaven and earth, struck him like a sledgehammer.
"Such terror..."
The Sanlan Daoist, a Grand Dao realm cultivator, trembled like a sieve.
"So be it..."
Chen Jiuyang said slowly, "Immortal Alliance dogs, if they could commit suicide, would they have survived for so many years?"
"Allow me to send you on your way personally."
Chen Jiuyang embraced the beauty with one arm, and with the other, he suddenly reached out. The Yan Sheng Saber returned to his hand, and he slowly raised it above his head.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The powerful Martial Dao Furnace immediately erupted with terrifying power.
"Bang bang bang—"
With a simple swing of the saber, the heavens and earth seemed to collide violently, emitting dull thuds. This saber, imbued with Chen Jiuyang's personal martial will, descended upon the Sanlan Daoist with indescribable terror, like the sky collapsing or the sea overturning.
"Crack!!!"
The Sanlan Daoist's physical body instantly exploded into a mist of blood, like a watermelon being smashed. However, this force precisely avoided harming Ye Tiannan.
With the strength of Chen Jiuyang's forged furnace, he could contend with cultivators in the Grand Dao realm. Once he stepped into the Emperor realm, he could challenge the peerless Grand Tribulation realm cultivators, worthy of being called an Ancestor or a Demon Emperor!
Chen Jiuyang rescued Ye Tiannan and brought him to Wang Jiegua's side. Then, he took out a King of Herbs and a bottle of pills from his spatial ring. "Sister-in-law, give the King of Herbs and the pills to Tiannan."
Wang Jiegua nodded vigorously, her mind still somewhat blank, grateful that Chen Jiuyang had arrived at the critical moment.
The Sanlan Daoist's physical body was shattered, but his soul remained. In an instant, it was about to turn into a streak of light and flee.
"Trying to escape?"
Chen Jiuyang turned his head and, with one hand, grabbed the Sanlan Daoist's soul and body from a distance.
The Sanlan Daoist's eyes were filled with horror. "As the rumors say, this Chen Jiuyang has forged an unprecedented Martial Dao Furnace. With the strength of the peak Venerable realm, he can kill Grand Dao realm cultivators. If he steps into the Emperor Dao..."
The martial path and the immortal path, in terms of combat power, were evident. However, the lifespan of a martial artist in the Venerable realm was only a fraction of that of a Grand Dao realm cultivator...
Martial artists pursue the present moment, while immortal cultivators seek eternal life.
His soul revealed a look of terror. "Lord Qianyang Demon, can you spare my life and let me go."
Chen Jiuyang's eyes showed deep disappointment. "A dignified Grand Dao realm cultivator, to survive, has completely lost all pretense and begs enemies for mercy. Truly spineless."
"First, you tried to kill my woman, then you attacked my brother. Do you have the face to beg me for mercy?"
"I cannot find a single reason for you to live."
Chen Jiuyang's furnace within his body circulated slightly. With a forceful squeeze, he crushed the Sanlan Daoist's soul to death.
Before dying, the Sanlan Daoist let out a venomous roar:
"Demon! May you die a horrible death!"
"You think you can obstruct my Immortal Alliance's grand plan! It's pure wishful thinking!"
"You fool, I'll wait for you on the road to the Yellow Springs!"
"Then, before I embark on the road to the Yellow Springs, I will certainly send enough people from the Immortal Alliance to see you," Chen Jiuyang said calmly and indifferently.
A Grand Dao realm cultivator who had lived for thousands of years and slumbered for tens of thousands of years fell so easily into Chen Jiuyang's hands.
But this was not strange; it was far from what Chen Jiuyang had witnessed in the last city on the Human King's Path.
More immortal cultivators died at the hands of demons.
This time, Ye Tiannan risked his life to take Qin Rouyu away, entrusting his life to him. How could he not call him a brother?
"Hoo."
Chen Jiuyang also let out a long sigh. The last lingering worry before he advanced to the Emperor Dao had finally been resolved.
He held Qin Rouyu in his arms, and with his other hand, he channeled true liquid magical power, taking Wang Jiegua, the child, and Ye Tiannan, and flew towards the Green Bamboo Spirit Domain.
Next, it was time to undergo tribulation and advance to the Emperor realm!
