Chapter 359

Yue Xin.jpg.

Hearing figures flying overhead, she spoke slowly, "I advise you not to think about leaving."

"Hm?"

Immortal White Crane descended from mid-air with a few figures, frowning as he looked at the delicate, pretty young girl before him. "A Yao Beast? And a Half-step Dao Synthesis Yao Beast at that?"

"A Yao Beast?"

Yue Xin raised an eyebrow, looking at Immortal White Crane and the others, her expression already darkening.

She might call herself a Yao slave, and she might allow her master to humiliate her—the more humiliated she was, the more excited she might even become. But… that was not something these guys had the right to say.

In the Creation Realm, she was her master's loyal Yao slave, but outside, she was a Yao Saint capable of suppressing an entire domain!

Yue Xin jumped off the rock and clapped her hands. She originally hadn't wanted to make a move, as there was nothing to be gained from it, but now… Yue Xin decided to kill these guys.

The aura of a Half-step Dao Synthesis expert surged from her body. To these Elders, it was as if a beast king was slowly standing up, casting a terrifying shadow over them.

"Hal—Half-step Dao Synthesis?!?" an Elder cried out in fear.

Yue Xin scoffed and smiled grimly. Did they really think she was just the cute, good-tempered Yao slave she was around her master every day? Although she didn't eat people, she had lost count of how many people she had killed.

Immortal White Crane looked at Yue Xin, his heart skipping a beat. He immediately unleashed a spell he had been holding in his hand, and a barrier instantly appeared in front of them!

But… as Yue Xin slowly clenched her small hand into a fist, an Elder beside Immortal White Crane suddenly turned deathly pale. He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, and then all signs of life vanished from him!

"A curse? When?" Immortal White Crane frowned slightly, and the other Elders beside him also had their expressions change slightly, sweat breaking out on their foreheads.

"Just now." Yue Xin grinned.

On the other side, Su Qiutang and Su Qingli stood atop the Xianyun Sect's mountain gate. Su Qingli cast a few Formations, ensuring that one could only enter and never leave. This was why Immortal White Crane and the others had to take the small path behind the mountain—the front had already been blocked.

It was unknown how the eldest and second daughters of the Su family cultivated; at only twenty-something years of age, they had already reached the cultivation level of old monsters like them.

"Fairy Su!" Some Xianyun Sect Cultivators recognized them and called out.

Su Qingli and Su Qiutang watched silently without speaking. If anyone tried to fly up and break through the Formation, they would personally take action, unleashing a single spell to blast the person into dust.

Consequently, no one dared to provoke them anymore. They could only cower within the Formation, not daring to make any moves, for fear of annoying Su Qingli and Su Qiutang and causing them to come in and slaughter everyone.

It should be known that many Elders who had tried to attack had been killed on the spot, and the Sect Master, Immortal White Crane, had also tried to attack earlier but had been beaten back by Su Qingli.

Su Qingli wore a plain dress, elegant as a white lotus, with a cold expression. Su Qiutang wore red, as beautiful and vibrant as a red lotus, her face carrying a seductive charm. Although her cultivation was slightly lower than Su Qingli's, she made the Xianyun Sect Cultivators even more afraid.

Su Qingli would just casually kill the Cultivators who rushed out, but Su Qiutang would actually admire the sight of them dying, just like those… demonic Cultivators!

They did not know that she was merely feeling pity for them. They originally didn't have to die, but the Xianyun Sect had already expressed its stance, so there was nothing that could be done. She was a bit more humane, while Su Qingli was colder and didn't care about such things at all.

In the Forbidden Land deep within the Xianyun Sect, Bai Qianqian sat on a treetop, looking at the many ancient Cultivators before her. She yawned, feeling a bit bored.

She was thinking about the Young Master and her sister. How were they doing now? Had they won?

The ancient Cultivators had blank expressions. They would walk out of the Forbidden Land's boundaries, only to suddenly discover that they had returned to the depths of the Forbidden Land, as if they had entered a loop…

A wisp of the power of time swirled around Bai Qianqian's fingertips. She slowly traced lines, trapping these ancient Cultivators in place; even their memories would become chaotic under the washing of the River of Time.

For these mortal Cultivators who had not yet achieved Dao Synthesis and had not yet escaped the limitations of the River of Time, Cultivators of the Dao of Time were very difficult to deal with. And the scarcity of Dao of Time Cultivators meant they wouldn't specifically consider this aspect.

This was one of the reasons why, even though Bai Qianqian's cultivation was not higher than these ancient Cultivators, she could still trap them. The terror of the Dao of Time was evident!

She alone could force these ancient Cultivators to remain here, and she could maintain this state for a very, very long time…

Bai Qianqian blinked, seemingly sensing something. She raised her head, her gaze piercing through the dense canopy of the ancient tree above, looking toward the horizon.

The power of time in her hands continued to trace, and those ancient Cultivators continued their loop, completely oblivious.

A moment later, under Bai Qianqian's gaze, space outside the Xianyun Sect's perimeter was torn apart, and a spatial passage was forcibly opened.

Flying boats flew out first, locking down the space and setting up Formation diagrams. Then, an Imperial Carriage slowly flew out, suppressing everything.

But the spatial passage behind it had not yet closed. Countless star-like spirit skiffs swiftly darted out, enriching the Formation diagram; they were the array patterns of this Formation.

"So fast?" Bai Qianqian was somewhat surprised. In the projections, the Xianyun Sect was supposed to be the last of the Five Great Immortal Sects to be descended upon.

But she remembered she hadn't been here for very long, had she? And yet the Imperial Carriage had already arrived.

Bai Qianqian stood up and clapped her hands, dispelling the Dao of Time spell before her.

She glanced at the many ancient Cultivators who had stopped in their tracks and were looking toward her, but paid them no mind and vanished from the spot.

…

Xuanyuan Mingzhu held several recording stones in her hand. She shook her head, not bothering to look at them, and casually tossed them to the official who had presented them. They were nothing more than records of filthy matters; she was already used to it.

The Xianyun Sect, an Immortal Sect standing at the pinnacle of the Human Realm, was an existence that even the Blood God would not touch for fear of being discovered. Yet, the flesh trade among the Cultivators within had reached the point where Elders were involved, and it was visible everywhere.

— — When Lin Yi had first descended upon the Xianyun Sect, he had only destroyed a superficial private market, but in these records, there were even more organized "markets." From this, one could imagine how serious the true filth within was.

The Xianyun Sect was not the only one; or rather, the Xianyun Sect was actually the cleanest of the Five Great Immortal Sects. The other four Great Immortal Sects had committed countless disgusting acts, and even the Jiuzhou Imperial Family was the same.

Before destroying the previous three Great Immortal Sects, Xuanyuan Mingzhu had already purged her own royal family—she hadn't done much, just killed them all. Now, the Xuanyuan royal family probably only had the ten of them, mother and daughters, left.

Therefore, it was now the Xianyun Sect's turn. This was the tragedy of the Inner World, and before the Yueming Domain was about to break away from the Inner World, these disgusting things had to be punished and thoroughly purged!

"Imperial Sister, you don't need to show these to me." Xuanyuan Mingzhu shook her head gently. "Continue. Which Sect is after the Xianyun Sect? Just push through them one by one."

"Understood, Your Majesty." The Eldest Imperial Princess acknowledged and let the official leave. After bowing, the official held these recording stones and left the Imperial Carriage.

Although Xuanyuan Mingzhu could dominate this world with absolute power, there was much more for these officials to consider. How to restore the Empress's image, how to transform the slaughter into an act of justice… all of this was in the recording stones in their hands.

As for how the recording stones were obtained… those things were already open secrets; a slight investigation would turn up a huge batch! Thus, in the darkness, the Xianyun Sect welcomed its end. Brilliant spiritual light purified all filth.

…

Qiongming Domain. A massive fleet tore through space, passed through the domain barriers, and appeared near the domain rift, with countless experts from different domains arriving together. But at this very moment, the Qiongming Domain was already prepared.

After Xuanyuan Xier became the Empress of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, the situation in the Qiongming Domain took on a new look. Internally, there was a stable environment; many Sects and factions had been broken up and integrated into the Myriad Dao Academy, and among the common people, there was some prosperity after the reduction of taxes and labor.

Externally, it went without saying; the Floating Island, Shizhou City, and even the Yao Race had become their own people. Those small nations that were originally just used as buffer zones against the Northern Domain's Yao Race had also been indirectly controlled by Xuanyuan Xier through various means… In short, the entire Qiongming Domain had been twisted into a single rope!

Although powerhouses like Old Man Yuan and Sword Saint Bai Zhe could not make much progress in their cultivation in such a short time, there was a huge improvement in the overall entity. After all, everyone no longer needed to scheme against each other; some resources could be used for development, and some suppressed potential could also be liberated.

As for the so-called "peace leads to decay" and "without external enemies, a nation will die"… it wasn't time for that yet; such a situation would only appear after at least several decades or hundreds of years.

Moreover, a domain being stable did not mean it was safe. Outside, there were ten thousand worlds, and countless Divine Kingdoms far stronger than the Xuanyuan Dynasty; how could it possibly self-destruct from within all of a sudden?

Old Man Yuan stood on the Floating Island, with Sword Saint Bai Zhe by his side. To cope with this crisis, they had even piloted the Floating Island to the vicinity of the domain rift, intending to limit the war to this place so as not to affect the entire domain. They did not want the entire Qiongming Domain to be swept up in the flames of war; if that happened, they would be unworthy of Lin Yi's trust.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, everything is ready." Xia Qianzhen descended from mid-air.

"Sorry to trouble you, Saintess Xia." Old Man Yuan nodded.

"It is nothing." Xia Qianzhen's gaze swept over the fleet pouring out from the Void.

They were strange-looking; there were flying boats, flying carpets, and also air-traversing vessels shaped like flower buds, leaves, long shuttles, and so on. However, Xia Qianzhen was already accustomed to this; different domains and different races had even stranger forms. This was enough to make her understand that she was facing an Allied Force of Ten Thousand Races, not the allied forces of one or two domains.

"Sister Xia, everything is ready on my side." Yu Xiaotang's escape light landed beside Xia Qianzhen.

Seeing Old Man Yuan and Sword Saint Bai Zhe nearby, she politely greeted them, "Grandpa Yuan, and Palace Master Bai."

Old Man Yuan and Sword Saint Bai Zhe responded, then continued to observe the experts within the fleet. What made people heave a sigh of relief was that there were not many combatants at the Dao Harmonizer or deity level, only a few.

Either those Dao Harmonizers and deities had been taken away to the battlefield on Lin Yi's side, or it was because Dao Harmonizers and deities were considered supreme experts for a domain, and it was rare for one to appear in many domains.

And after becoming a Dao Harmonizer or deity, if one worked diligently and ignored strife, even if their Comprehension Ability was relatively weak, they could slowly use time to grind their cultivation up to two or three thousand Essence of Reason. — — Of course, having achieved Dao Synthesis, they couldn't really have weak Comprehension Ability, it was just relative.

And besides these two reasons, Xia Qianzhen had another guess… those who came to the Qiongming Domain were in the minority, as the majority had already run off to the Yueming Domain. However, even so, there were nearly a hundred Dao Harmonizers among them.

And the good news was… the Qiongming Domain's Origin had not yet been upgraded, so Dao Harmonizers could not enter here and could only vent their impotent rage outside the domain. As for why Lin Yi could enter, his Physique was rather special; people could not be compared to one another.

"Sister Xia, everything is ready on my side too." Li Tiaodeng descended from mid-air. After retreating from the Shengan Domain, they had returned to the Qiongming Domain.
