Chapter 449: Chapter 46: Farewell to the Pill King (Part 3)
Immediately afterward, the young man in the late Foundation Establishment stage who had been with Li Ji’an’s group for a month suddenly erupted with overwhelming pressure, a magical power far exceeding the two demon cultivators in the early Core Formation stage, spreading across the heavens and earth.
"Block!" In the next moment, a Flaming Giant Hand appeared in the void, effortlessly clasping the Demon Blade between its two fingers.
"It’s him!" Li Ji’an looked again at Master Chunyuan, who had already resumed his true appearance, his heart instantly gripped with fear.
He had never expected that Master Chunyuan had been blending in with their team all along.
Instinctively, he felt a chill in his Dantian, and a surge of escape rose within him.
The ties with Master Chunyuan were ultimately too deep; once he discovered the Little Fire Spirit on him, it would be a fight to the death, with no room for reconciliation!
However, in the next moment, he abandoned the urge to flee.
Firstly, with his current Foundation Establishment strength, he couldn’t possibly escape Master Chunyuan.
Secondly, Master Chunyuan’s Spirit Flame had already been devoured by the Little Fire Spirit, so he couldn’t sense the Little Fire Spirit’s presence.
In just the span of a breath, Master Chunyuan subdued the two early True Core demon cultivators, with one self-destructing and dying, while the other was one step too slow and had his Dantian sealed by Master Chunyuan.
The other Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators were shaken by the aftermath of Master Chunyuan’s magical power, their strength greatly reduced, and were quickly slain by Master Zhang leading the disciples of the Holy Palace.
"Disciples pay respects to the Grand Elder!" The disciples of the Holy Palace immediately bowed to Master Chunyuan.
Judging by their expressions, it was evident they were also unaware beforehand.
Later, Li Ji’an and the other peripheral cultivators arrived, none of them recognizing the young man with such a pervasive aura of magical power until Master Zhang pointed it out, upon which they respectfully bowed in shock.
"Junior pays respects to the Ascendant!"
Master Chunyuan smiled warmly, and his gaze towards everyone was kind and gentle, like a spring breeze.
However, he didn’t acknowledge their greetings and instead walked slowly over to the demonic cultivator in the True Core stage, suddenly reaching for his Sea of Consciousness.
"Hmph!" Yet, after just a moment, his face darkened: "It’s this evil demon technique again!"
Evidently, his attempt at soul search faced obstacles and failed.
Li Ji’an had experience with this; it was precisely the Soul Cultivation Secret Skill.
But at this moment, he stood among the crowd, keeping his head down, not daring to breathe loudly.
Fortunately, after failing the soul search, Master Chunyuan merely snorted coldly, then threw the demon cultivator with the ruined Dantian onto the Spirit Boat: "Proceed forward."
After speaking, his figure vanished from the original place, his whereabouts unknown.
"Hoo~" Only then did Li Ji’an slowly exhale a long breath.
Thereafter, the journey proceeded without obstacles, successfully delivering the first batch of spiritual talent to the front lines.
Meanwhile, Li Ji’an saw Yun Qing Ascendant of the Biyun Sect and Xiao Changfeng at the front line.
Yun Qing Ascendant had injuries already, and after several consecutive battles with Blood Spirit Saintess, his wounds were significantly worse.
Xiao Changfeng was even more determined to avenge Elder Fang, fighting to the death with the Corpse Puppet Sect’s Saint Child Lin Xiuzhu, nearly perishing.
Yet even so, neither could retreat to the rear to recover, and could only use Pill Medicine for a slight adjustment before having to go back up again.
Their greatest assurance and hope currently were the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws.
Believe that the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws first went north to resolve the Yellow Heaven Domain, and as long as they held on a bit longer, he could come and completely obliterate the enemy.
After escorting the supplies, Li Ji’an and his companions returned to Dongli Sect.
During this time, they never saw Master Chunyuan again.
Li Ji’an initially thought that Master Chunyuan, after ambushing the Demon Realm raiders, should go to support the front lines due to the significant pressure there, but instead, his figure vanished.
Just as Li Ji’an was returning to Dongli Sect again, bad news suddenly came.
"Grandmaster’s life has come to an end!"
