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

"The Nangong Family's second plan is to use a Secret Technique to resonate the young lady's Soul Lamp with the seal in her brain, and then detonate the Soul Lamp."

"Fear not destruction of flesh and bone; what matters is to keep purity in the Mortal World. The Nangong Family Head has tried his best, and I believe the young lady's spirit in heaven understands the family head's difficulties and will forgive us all."

Gazing into Yi Chen's eyes, Hei He Taoist spoke with a cold and stern face, pausing after each word.

Each word was as piercingly cold as the bitter wind in a snowy, icy world.

His explanation immediately made Yi Chen realize why there had been a look of embarrassment on the Nangong Family Head's face before.

If he wasn't mistaken, the Nangong Family Head himself probably didn't have much hope of rescuing his daughter, as certainly various measures had been taken to prevent her escape.

If that was the case, then it wasn't surprising at all.

In fact, this mission was less about rescuing the Nangong Family's young lady and more like... killing Nangong Qingyue!

Once she dies, there is no more hostage, and doesn't the problem get resolved?

"Good! Family Head, twenty Purple Jade Coins, this Taoist can set off anytime!"

Yi Chen bowed to the Nangong Family Head and then spread his hands wide open.

Since the employer wasn't concerned about his own daughter and took the initiative to use the 'Great Hairy Rescue Technique,' Yi Chen naturally wouldn't bother with a Holy Mother's heart.

Just do it and be done, none of his damn business!

"Thank you, Taoist, for your understanding!" The Nangong Family Head's eyes were complex as he sighed deeply and flipped his hand, revealing twenty Purple Coins to Yi Chen's eyes.

"Rest assured, Family Head, you might inquire about me with Fairy Li Shiran from the Heavenly Star Sect and that Eunuch Wu from the Great Qian; this Taoist is well-known for providing satisfactory service at a reasonable price!"

"If there is any chance to rescue Miss Nangong on this trip, this Taoist will do his utmost!"

With the Jade Coins in hand, Yi Chen immediately burst into a big grin.

...

...

In the deep night, the moon shone like silver.

The whining Heavenly Wind hovered above the nightscape, as if the spirits of the dead were howling and protesting.

Yet, Yi Chen knew that these were merely ordinary weather changes.

Nature is indifferent, treating all beings as sacrificial straw dogs; would it really shed blood rain or show other strange phenomena just because the Human Race was slaughtered?

Amidst the moonlight, a line of shadows sped urgently under the cover of a dark cloud above.

Yi Chen looked up at the black curtain Magic Treasure that blended with the night sky above him, and his face couldn't help but reveal a hint of curiosity.

The Nangong Family truly lived up to being a longstanding major clan with deep foundations; just by hanging this black curtain above their heads, their aura was completely sealed off. Unless someone investigated closely, it would be nearly impossible to detect them until they were very close.

"Yi Taoist, Hei He Taoist, the giant tower ahead is the Nine Layer Demon Tower built here by the True Blood Sect's Sea Lion Altar."

"These bastards, there's no end to the vile deeds they've committed and the countless lives they've taken. It's simply heinous."

The speaker was a middle-aged Cultivator, Nangong Lingyu, the only True Monarch among the Nangong Family's team.

Yi Chen's gaze hardened as he looked towards the towering Nine Layer Demon Tower in the distance, enveloped by endless resentment and bloodthirsty aura, feeling a surge of righteous anger in his heart.

Now that his True Technique had ascended to the sixteenth level, his Eyesight Power was extremely sharp, and he could see at a glance that the white decorations hanging under the eaves of the distant Demon Tower were not wind chimes, but a series of human heads.

Some of the heads were half decayed, some had turned into skeletons, and some still had maggots crawling in and out of the eye sockets.

These heads were densely packed, including the elderly, children, women, men... all sorts could be found under the eaves of the Nine Layer Demon Tower.

Although the night was deep and the dew was cold, there were still countless flies buzzing around them.

"Venerable seniors, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that the young lady is being suppressed and held captive inside the Nine Layer Demon Tower. We need to get closer to confirm Miss Nangong's whereabouts. We ask that you two Taoists protect us!"

Nangong Lingyu's low voice rose in the night. He then bowed deeply to Yi Chen and the other Taoist, with movements smooth and skillful, looking very adept.

"Lead the way then!"

"If there is danger, we will naturally step in and eliminate it for you!" Hei He Taoist looked indifferently at the Nine Layer Demon Tower ahead and motioned for Nangong Lingyu to continue moving forward.

At that moment, everyone in the team tensed up, desperately concealing their auras, cautiously advancing toward the Nine Layer Demon Tower ahead.

The wind seemed to be getting stronger.

The wailing sound high in the sky became increasingly loud, piercingly so in the dark and deep night, as if the lament had turned into the main melody of heaven and earth.

Tension, tension, tension.

Could the Nangong Family's rescue team smoothly rescue their young lady?

The answer, naturally, was no.

Just as they advanced to about twenty miles from the Nine Layer Demon Tower, suddenly, the tower erupted with a surge of blood-red light, and countless Demon Barbarians poured out like a swarm.

The leader, with a majestic aura, was a giant monster with the head of a sea lion and an extremely robust body. He carried a massive Blood Halberd on his shoulder, stomped fiercely onto the ground, and his figure appeared ten miles away in a flash.

Following him closely were an elephant trunk demon and an Eagle Demon.

``

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Around ten-some miles to the left and right of Yi Chen and the others, more monsters, each with a rat's head, emerged from the ground.

Almost in the blink of an eye, three Great Demons appeared in front of Yi Chen and the others.

"Damn it, how could this be, how could these Demon Barbarians be so vigilant? We've been discovered!"

Nangong Lingyu immediately changed his expression and said, and the rest of the group carefully gathered behind Hei He Taoist.

At this critical juncture, the people of the Nangong Family elected to 'vote with their feet,' hoping to receive the protection of Hei He Taoist.

After all, Hei He Taoist was a renowned expert near Ling City for many years, and Yi Chen was simply too young. They did not doubt that this young expert would surpass Hei He Taoist's achievements in the future, but an unripe talent was, after all, just a talent.

Without the reinforcement of time, talent alone could not be transformed into combat power.

"Hey hey, twelve human Cultivators, brothers, we get to have an extra meal tonight."

"It was worth our brothers' hard work all night! Haha!"

"Coming to rescue? Have you asked my lion's Great Halberd? Today I'll let you taste the Unrivaled Halberd Technique that I have honed and remained undefeated for years."

The giant demon with a sea lion head, upon seeing the quivering Cultivators from the Nangong Family, couldn't help but reveal a ferocious smile on his face, his large nostrils emitting two thick and long streams of white mist in the deep night.

Yi Chen frowned, stepping forward alongside Hei He Taoist to confront the group of Demon Cultivators.

Without waiting for everyone to respond, Yi Chen immediately ascended with the Holy Skill, transforming his palm into a claw, and to the shock of the onlooking Cultivators from the Nangong Family, he suddenly grabbed Hei He Taoist's arm, then smashed it down fiercely, his foot cruelly stomping on Hei He Taoist's head.

Bang!

A mass of yellowish-white matter instantly burst from a depression in the ground!

"Damn it, Yi Chengzi, you actually killed Hei He Taoist!"

"Everyone be careful, this outsider must have secretly sided with the True Blood Sect's Demon Barbarians, we have all been deceived!"

"Damn it, Yi Chengzi, you truly deserve to die, do you intend to turn traitor on the battlefield? Without Hei He Taoist, how can we contend against the three Entering Dao Great Demons? We might have had a chance, but now you've doomed us all!"

In a moment, the Cultivators from the Nangong Family, panic-stricken, started cursing upon witnessing the sudden demise of Hei He Taoist.

"You bunch of idiots, being sold out and still helping the seller count money, do you really think I, Yi Chengzi, am from the True Blood Sect? Is your brain filled with athlete's foot? Fucking hell!"

Yi Chen raised an eyebrow, a burst of Alien Force suddenly erupted, turning over the palm that he had kept Hei He Taoist's corpse in his sleeve.

In the palm of his hand, a crane-beak shaped golden needle was aimed at Yi Chen's position, ready to be triggered.

"Interesting, indeed interesting!"

"Taoist, how did you figure out that Hei He was my man?"

"Never mind, although you ambushed him and caught Hei He off guard, being able to kill Hei He in an instant means you're talented!"

"I, Lion Qingzi, have a great appreciation for talents; come and join me!"
