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

Business is business, emotions are emotions.

Whether it's discussing business in the realm of feelings, or discussing feelings in business matters, it's all unethical. It's indicative of someone wanting to take advantage, unwilling to pay a price that matches their gain. Yi Chen saw this very clearly.

Therefore, faced with the favor of the Fairy, Yi Chen chose to jump out the window!

Soon, over the vast plains, Yi Chengzi, Yi Chengzi, World-Shaking Pure Yang Yichengzi began to hum a folk tune from his hometown, advancing unhurriedly towards the coastline of Qian Country.

Although Yi Chen was now determined to secure a spot for the Selection of the Star Child, this did not stop him from choosing to let the bullets fly a while longer and wait and see.

According to Li Yan, news regarding the selection of the candidates for the Star Child would soon spread throughout the East Continent, and by then, powerful cultivators would gather.

That would be the time for Yi Chengzi to show his true capabilities when the waters are muddied with plenty of fish!

"Hehehe, no rush, let's play along with them first!"

"To become an Immortal!"

"Ride the crane to the heavens!"

"Turning stone to gold!"

"Indescribably wonderful!"

"How many jovial taunts and curses, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers through the world!"

"Indifferent to the gathering and parting of fate, I'm as merry as an Immortal!"

Above the plains, Yi Chen's odd and cheerful rap quickly echoed. However, for some reason, as he hummed, he always felt something missing in his heart.

Suddenly, Yi Chen found himself missing Miao Zi. Without the presence of his big-sized companion, even his singing seemed to lack some joy...

....

....

In the starry night, the cold wind howled.

Ten-year-old Niu Er, holding his younger brother who was not much smaller than him, ran panic-stricken across the hills, as if chased by Evil Spirits.

His clothes were tattered, marked with scratches from thorns.

Niu Er didn't understand why his perfectly fine parents had urgently called him and his brother to leave their home, their warm little house, and run towards the deep night in the distance. Confused, he complied.

It wasn't until they were midway through their escape, that a burst of black flames suddenly descended, scattering the crowd after an explosion, that he realized the gravity of the situation.

Above, Immortals were fighting!

He would never forget that moment before the black flames descended when his parents, inadvertently glancing up to check the direction, saw it coming, and with force, pushed him and his brother down the hillside. That's when the black flames exploded, raining down like droplets onto all of the tribespeople.

He watched in horror as the strange black fire, no bigger than a speck, landed on his parents' feet, and like an inextinguishable ghost fire, slowly engulfed their forms.

And as the flames devoured her, his mother was still yelling!

"Little Er, run, get out! To the big city!"

Niu Er was lucky; rolling down the hillside, he only suffered some superficial wounds, but his brother was not so fortunate, having broken a leg and possibly two ribs. In the deep cold of the night, to save themselves, Niu Er had no choice but to carry his brother, staggering towards the distance with deep and shallow steps.

His brother's injuries were serious; he had already lost his family, he couldn't lose his brother too.

With blood at the corner of his mouth and his teeth clenched, Niu Er looked towards the misty mountain trail and continued to stumble forward.

At this moment, high in the sky, Sword Immortal Li Yan looked at the two Ghost Shadows, one black and one white before him, his eyes nearly splitting with fury!

"Damn it! You two Xuan Ming Ghosts, you did that on purpose, didn't you!"

"You deliberately cast spells to bombard the distant escaping civilians. How can you act like this and still deserve the status of the Immortal Platform Realm great cultivators?"

"Our battle has nothing to do with those distant civilians!"

In his anger, Li Yan's Sword Intent surged, swept the sky with his sword, slashing towards the black and white Ghost Shadows ahead!

The Xuan Ming Ghosts, seeing Li Yan's rage, were secretly delighted.

The two ghosts shook their Flags, exhaling thick black and white ghostly qi to entangle with the oncoming Vigorous Sword Qi.

"Haha, Taoist Li Yan, your Roaming Six Void Sword Intent is overwhelmingly powerful. My brother and I admit it is difficult to withstand together. Hence, we released some anger on those fools far away. You aren't angry, are you?"

"If you feel aggrieved, then feel free to block all the Spells we release!"

The white Ghost Shadow looked at the black one, and behind them, densely-packed black magic spheres emerged again, shaking and ready to break through the space.

Looking at the shameless old ghosts, Li Yan was filled with murderous intent but helpless.

Although he could not take down the two old ghosts in a short time, he made them retreat step by step. Unexpectedly, soon after the fight, they no longer confronted him head-on but started to fight in a hit-and-run manner, occasionally using Teleportation Divine Power to direct their magic spheres to bombard civilians from afar, hoping to consume and distract his Sword Qi. This move was utterly malicious!

"Haha, Li Yan, if my brother and I can't handle you, can't we deal with those sheep behind you?"

"Whether to continue chasing us with all your might or to save them with a split focus is all in your mind."

"Otherwise, these two Xuan Ming Ghost Flags in my brother's and my hands can't endure your Six Void Sword Immortal's consumption like this."

Seeing Li Yan finally distracted, the pressure lightened, and the Xuan Ming Ghosts couldn't help but cackle strangely.

One ghost dark as night, the other pale as death, their laughter chilling to the bone!

"Haha, I trust my second brother's judgment. Second brother, your strategy of diverting disaster is brilliant!" The black Ghost Shadow started to laugh wildly and then shook off dozens of magic spheres once again.
