Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"The State Preceptor, having thwarted the path of the cultivators of the Corpse and Ghost Paths, naturally sought to provide those people with a new way out."

"Yue Ji, tell me, the tomes and techniques that those from the Demon Sect possess—are they from the Floral Goddess Sect and the Controlling Spirit Holy Puppet Sect? Do they hope for the death or survival of members from sects like these?"

"Given the methods of the State Preceptor, sects such as the Floral Goddess Sect and the Controlling Spirit Holy Puppet Sect have suffered greatly; what turmoil could they possibly still stir within the line of the Demon Sect? With the Wuding Divine Sect as the leader to stabilize internally, if the State Preceptor were to offer bounties as well..."

"The State Preceptor has already provided them with an exit and compensation. If they truly fail to recognize their destiny, then they are severing themselves from Great Qin. After all, the State Preceptor conducts himself with great decency, truly a figure of supreme benevolence."

"He who understands me, also the Emperor!" Yi Chen cheerfully picked up a cup of wine, toasted to Ying Si from afar, and then drank it all down.

Today's banquet was a family one. Yi Chen and Ying Si exchanged glances, tacitly not stating the final reasoning.

Since Asna could descend to the Human Realm, where then are the Taoist Ancestral, Heavenly Buddha, and Demon Lord, who have left for half their lives?

It's fine to antagonize their disciples and grand-disciples, but if you sever their entire lineage directly, then the feud has truly deepened.

What he's doing now might lead to a situation where if one whale falls, all things thrive—perhaps the Demon Sect could even experience a second spring.

Even when meeting in the future in the Foreign Region, the Demon Lord might have to respectfully toast to Yi Chengzi.

Because Yi Chengzi is good!

However, even so, upon hearing the conversation between Ying Si and Yi Chen, Yue Ji and Lin Luo exchanged glances, both women secretly sighing in their hearts, 'Really dark!'

"Huh, there are actually such naive sects huh, daring to attack even one of my people, utterly disregarding me! Your Majesty, let's call it a day for the meal today." Suddenly, feeling a rhythm from the Golden Pages in his storage ring, Yi Chen glanced at the text on the Golden Page and smirked.

This Golden Page was the latest communication tool developed by Qin Mo, somewhat similar to the Star Disc created by the Heavenly Master, only more strictly hierarchical.

For someone like Wang Zhong, if not mission-related, he would typically have no right to contact the Golden Page in Yi Chen's possession.

Upon receiving Wang Zhong's message, Yi Chen immediately stood up.

"Very well, the State Preceptor keeps me reassured."

"Go then, let Lin Luo accompany you."

"Good!"

Soon, a robust Taoist and a purple-haired young girl left the Imperial Palace together.

No matter how perfect the plan, the world always has its daredevils.

However, unfortunately, the Great Qin State Master also wanted to make use of their heads.

A bunch trying to manipulate ghosts and corpses, daring to provoke the authority of the World-Shaking Pure Yang, that's no ordinary feat of the demonic, a heavy fist must be used!

…

…

Two and a half days later, the turmoil within the Demon Sect had calmed.

Not because Chen Haichao had been captured, but because under Yi Chen's draining of resources, he had finally gathered the last of the missing Deep Red Points.

Of course, the official excuse was due to the mediation by Wuding Divine Sect, which greatly enhanced the prestige of Wuding Divine Sect, solidifying its position as the leader of the Demon Sect, while former challengers like the Controlling Spirit Holy Puppet Sect were now completely muted.

It hadn't been utterly destroyed, solely because the mummy cultivator had prostrated deeply enough, and also because Chen Haichao still hadn't been found.

However, it was clear to the discerning eye that the Controlling Spirit Holy Puppet Sect, now targeted by the Great Qin State Master, was marked for death—the timing of Chen Haichao's capture would determine their end.

Even without Yi Chen's involvement, the Wuding Divine Sect would undoubtedly be happy to take over this task.

"Ah, after such a thorough exploitation, the Human Realm and the Demon Realm alike probably need some time to recover and rejuvenate."

The Heavenly Wind howled furiously, and after gathering the final few hundred Deep Red Points during the night, the Taoist, his gaze deep and introspective, suddenly rose with a sigh.

According to Yi Chen's initial plan, he had intended to push the Demon Realm further.

The reason for his change of heart was entirely due to the fear of completely eradicating even the slightest roots left in the Demon Realm.

After all, making an example by killing the chicken to scare the monkey should not always involve killing the same chicken.

Initially, if the Human Realm couldn't gather enough, he planned to go to the Demon Realm to fill the gap.

The Fair Demon Emperor, before leaving the Demon Realm, had secretly instructed his loyal Ma Zouri to develop a project—a study of the Tiger-Wolf Elixir, which could rapidly help the Demonkin break through their limitations.

"Side effects don't matter, surviving even a second is enough. The purpose of this project is to help the death row inmates who violated the 'Fair Demon Code' sell for a high price, this is the Demon Realm version of the 'Deep Red Expansion Gold' plan."

This plan fully demonstrates Holy Venerable Jia Loulan's emphasis on the Demon Realm and meticulous cultivation...

Just as Yi Chen hurried across the sky, seeking a geomantically auspicious location to prepare for his breakthrough, his face suddenly took on a peculiar expression.

"Damn, what the hell, Taoist Ancestral above, what is Yi Chengzi seeing?"

In a dim valley, a gigantic bear over four meters tall was practicing the Iron Mountain Lean on the cliff walls of the valley floor.

The bear was surrounded by red blood flames, its vitality like a furnace, causing the cliff walls to tremble continuously.

Perhaps tired from leaning, the bear's gaze sharpened again as it began to practice a palm technique impressively.

This bear was the clever one Yi Chen had encountered during his previous breakthrough; it had even chased after him for a while when he left, showing great spiritual nature.

However, Yi Chen had not taken it in back then.

Now, who knows what fortuitous encounter this clever bear had had to transform into such a state, with vitality soaring skywards like smoke from a wolf, and blood energy like a raging furnace, shaking all directions.

Such bear strength, such blood energy, could likely shatter the cadaver ghosts at the mid Qi Refinement Realm with just a roar to the sky.

This was already the strength that only a mid Qi Refinement Realm cultivator should have.

Yi Chen suddenly felt a pang of heartache, his painstakingly trained disciples, even Bai Shishi, were now unable to defeat a free-range bear, utterly embarrassing him, Yi Chengzi.

"Blood vitality Pure Yang, Overbearing Bear Palm Technique is simply marvelous beyond molds, this bear shows extraordinary comprehension and has a great opportunity, bearing a pure-hearted nature." Yi Chen adjusted his chin and murmured, giving a high appraisal.

This bear, its foundation is too solid, it's almost eerie.

In the valley, Zuo Qianfu was nowhere to be seen, only the clever bear practiced diligently day and night.

For some reason, today the clever bear felt inspired, sensing that its opportunity had come, it immediately began practicing its martial art frenziedly.

Bear paws like the wind, swirling up the dead leaves on the ground like a tornado, as the unshed yellow leaves in the valley bottom were swept away by the strong wind, for some reason, today the clever bear felt a surge of power, its entire body comfortable, a strong sense of emotion emerged in its heart.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, with a roar, clever bear felt enlightened.

It initiated the Wind-Thunder Strike, unleashing ingenious moves, both bear paws smashed toward the ground with a thud.

Boom!

The hard rocky ground actually cracked open, forming a huge crack ten fingers wide, stirring up a vast dust storm.

"Damn! Bear!"

"Holy shit, the bear actually broke through! That move, I'm afraid it could now match the Taoist just leaving Fengyun County for a fight."

"It has lit up its first acupoint and stepped onto the true path of ascent in the Martial Path."

Exhausted, under the moonlight, amidst swirling dust, a majestic figure slowly walked out.

The Taoist's stature was imposing, and his presence was extraordinary, the very Taoist who haunted the bear's dreams.

For a moment, man and bear looked eye to eye.

"Bear, you are very perceptive, practice martial arts with this Taoist!"

"I will let you ascend in your martial journey, truly dominating with the Overbearing Bear Palm Technique! With your body commanding the wind, roaming from the wutong trees in the morning to the vast ocean by evening!" the Taoist said with a wide grin.

Thump~

With a loud sound, the clever bear wiped its eyes with its paw, seeing that all this was not a dream, despite its vitality being weak now, it knelt down like pushing down a golden mountain or toppling a jade pillar.

Bang.

At this moment, a familiar hand chop struck on the neck of the clever bear, it rolled its eyes and fell into a deep, baby-like sleep.

"Alright, let this Taoist borrow your Bear Cave for now."

"After this Taoist successfully breaks through, I will take you back to Falling Dragon Mountain to inspire those useless disciples of the Great Justice Martial Alliance."
