Chapter 12: The Secrets Behind the Battle

Chapter 12: The Secrets Behind the Battle As the semi-emperor-level spiritual energy enveloped the entire area, everyone in the City of Ten Thousand Flowers felt the intense pressure. Yuan Yang, the Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers City, appeared. He looked at the group led by Ye Chingyow before speaking in a solemn tone:

"Do you intend to destroy my city? Do you think that because I don't have imperial weapons, I won't dare to do anything to you?"

Ye Chingyow did not pay attention to Yuan Yang's words. She rushed towards Gongsun Lei, who was lying unconscious, preparing to end his life. However, at that moment, Yuan Yang flicked his finger, sending a force to attack Ye Chingyow immediately, causing her to scream in pain. The semi-emperor-level spirit she had summoned dissipated.

"Do you think you can have trouble with the Blood Demon Sacred Land?" Ye Chingyow shouted angrily.

But Yuan Yang did not heed her threats. He increased the pressure on her, causing Ye Chingyow's body to sink deeper into the ground. When he turned to look at Gongsun Lei, Yuan Yang was surprised to find that Gongsun Lei had already disappeared, with only the marks of a Saint-level escape talisman on the ground. He thought to himself, "This old man is still as cunning as ever." Yuan Yang knew that Gongsun Lei must have planned something and prepared an escape in advance.

After Yuan Yang dealt with the four demon practitioners by throwing them out of the city, he returned to his own home. Once there, he said calmly, "Come out. Is this all you wanted?"

A man in black appeared from a concealed formation. He gave a slight nod of thanks and threw a vial of medicine and a book towards Yuan Yang before disappearing immediately. Yuan Yang watched him with curiosity, trying to figure out who the man in black was, but he couldn't sense the man's cultivation level at all.

During Gongsun Lei's battle with the Blood Demon Sacred Land, Yuan Yang had remained indifferent and uninvolved. Even though the city had suffered significant damage, when the man in black came to him quietly without any murderous intent, he felt a sense of danger. The man in black told Yuan Yang that he could cure his daughter. Hearing this, Yuan Yang was greatly shocked, as only a handful of people in the world knew about his daughter's illness.

He asked the man in black with suspicion, "What do you want?"

The man in black replied coldly, "I want you to stop this battle."

Yuan Yang responded, "Are you sure?" When the man in black nodded, Yuan Yang then asked, "And how will you cure my daughter?"

The man in black revealed half of the method to cure Yuan Yang's daughter. Upon hearing this, Yuan Yang was immediately filled with hope about his daughter's treatment and decided to act without hesitation to halt the battle.

After the battle ended, in a certain forest, Ye Chingyow and the remaining people were severely injured. She tried to heal herself and managed to recover somewhat. She roared with anger towards Yuan Yang and Gongsun Lei, but when she thought about Gongsun Lei's injuries, she believed that Ye Chen's plan must have succeeded and quickly took the remaining people for treatment. The damage from the battle was too severe.

Suddenly, at the peak of the Celestial Son in the Sacred Land of Mist, a system notification sounded in Jiang Yun's mind: Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[Congratulations to the host for defeating the Fated Justice Ye Chen. The host has spent 100,000 fortune points and received 1,000,000 villain points. Ye Chen now has 2,400,000 fortune points left.] Jiang Yun smiled faintly.

Villain Points: 29,000,000 points

In a certain forest, the man in black who had approached Yuan Yang emerged from the shadows with another man following him. Behind them was the corpse of a lightning horse and a demon practitioner who was severely injured, with broken bones all over and near death. The first man in black asked about Gongsun Lei's injuries.

The second man in black replied, "Gongsun Lei is out of immediate danger and is now in a safe place. However, his cultivation is continuously collapsing and will likely stabilize at Saint King level 3."

The first man in black asked, "What's the next plan for the main body?"

The second man in black answered, "He instructed to set up a containment formation, a concealment formation, and an illusion formation, then send a normal clone to guard the place. We will take turns guarding for half a month and then release Gongsun Lei back to the Sacred Land of Mist in nine months."

The first man in black nodded and said, "And the demon practitioner?"

The second man in black responded, "He instructed to destroy the cultivation base and brew the highest-level aphrodisiac that allows continuous movement for 7 days without exhaustion. Then, feed it to about 10 demon pigs and create formations to imprison and cast illusions on them. The demon practitioner should be placed in there until he dies. After his death, his soul will be used as fuel for the main body's reading fire."

The first man in black was slightly surprised and said, "Understood. Let's go."

Indeed, these two men were Jiang Yun's Samsara Clones, and the demon practitioner was the one who killed and extracted the bones from the original body.

The next day, in the Sacred Land of Mist, everyone was shocked and filled with anger upon hearing the news of Gongsun Lei's battle. He had fought against five Great Saints and a semi-emperor spirit, causing one death and three severe injuries among the opponents. This made him an immediate hero. However, when they learned that Gongsun Lei had now disappeared and his fate was unknown, the Sacred Deity ordered more than half of the disciples to search immediately.

When Lin Qingyi heard the news, she hurriedly went to find Gongsun Lei. She knew that she was partly at fault for the incident. Gu Qingxue, Li Yudong, and Guan Mengyao all praised Gongsun Lei's actions. Li Yudong then said, "Right, Brother Ye?"

Ye Chen turned to respond, praising Gongsun Lei with his mouth but was filled with immense rage inside. He thought, "That old man made my master fall asleep and I was injured. I hate him so much. I pray he doesn't die. I will kill him with my own hands."

While the four of them were chatting happily, Jiang Yun flew out of the Sacred Land of Mist, claiming to search for Gongsun Lei. His own peak was destroyed, so he needed to have someone practice there. He didn't want to stay at the moment, so he went out for a stroll to find something to do and let his Samsara Clones cultivate.
