417: Chapter 421 An Unexpected Turn of Events!

He suddenly looked up, staring intently at Murong Jingyang before him.

However, something even more terrifying happened.

The face of the middle-aged man before him, who had originally appeared sinister and was clearly a Cultivator of the Demonic Path, began to gradually blur and distort!

It was as if an invisible veil was being lifted, revealing the true face hidden beneath!

The sinister middle-aged face receded like melting ice and snow, replaced by a completely unfamiliar, young and handsome face!

Those calm and profound eyes were now quietly looking at him with a half-smile.

"Damn it! What in the world is going on?!"

Jiang Wunian was truly flustered at this moment.

Normally, with his Golden Core Perfection cultivation and status as a Personal Disciple of the Six Desires Demonic Sect, he wouldn't be so flustered.

But at this moment, with a great enemy approaching from behind, the pressure was immense, and the seemingly foolproof plan before him had a fatal flaw, causing him to instantly lose his composure!

However, he was, after all, a Disciple from a Grotto-Heaven power, and his self-cultivation was excellent.

After only a few breaths, he forcibly suppressed the churning emotions in his heart and stared darkly at the young man before him.

He didn't ask, "Who are you?" nor did he ponder, "What's going on?"

Because at this moment, these questions were meaningless.

No matter who this person was, no matter what conspiracy was at play, as long as he captured him, everything would come to light!

A ruthless glint flashed in Jiang Wunian's eyes.

He had full confidence in his own cultivation.

Although the opponent was at Golden Core Perfection, they had been forcibly elevated by him through the infusion of mortal desires, so their Dao Foundation must be unstable!

And he, on the other hand, was a genuine Golden Core Perfection Cultivator who had Cultivated for hundreds of years, with a stable Foundation and abundant methods!

What's more, The True Scripture of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Governing All Spirits he Cultivated had a natural suppressive effect on the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art.

Although he didn't know why he couldn't directly control this person, it would definitely have a suppressive effect!

Act quickly!

Jiang Wunian no longer hesitated, and his Aura erupted with a roar!

He clasped his hands together, and a brilliant seven-colored radiance burst forth from his body. The Seven Emotions Dao Domain, which enveloped the entire battlefield, instantly contracted, transforming into an extremely dense seven-colored halo that circled around him!

Immediately after, he formed a strange hand seal, and a crack suddenly appeared in the Void Realm above his head. A gigantic seven-colored hand, condensed from pure desire, slowly extended from the crack!

The giant hand was so enormous that it almost obscured half the sky!

Countless twisted phantom images, the final wails and obsessions of Cultivators whose desires had been drained by the Seven Emotions Gu, entwined around its five fingers!

Wherever the giant hand passed, the Void Realm violently twisted, as if unable to bear the weight of the desires upon it!

"No matter what you are, you must kneel before this Venerable One!"

Jiang Wunian roared, and the seven-colored giant hand, carrying world-destroying power, slammed down towards "Murong Jingyang"!

This strike was his full power! Enough to severely injure any Golden Core Perfection Cultivator!

However.

Just as the giant hand was about to descend.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort, like a Nine Heavens divine thunder, exploded in the Void Realm!

The cold snort contained endless majesty and killing intent, shaking the entire battlefield violently!

The seven-colored giant hand actually paused slightly under this cold snort!

Immediately after—

"Tear—"

A huge crack was suddenly torn open in the Void Realm!

Two figures stepped out of that crack, side by side!

The one leading wore a simple Daoist robe, with faint black and white Qi flowing around him. His eyes were as deep as an abyss, containing the phantom image of Taiji. The moment he stepped out of the Void Realm, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the entire battlefield stagnated!

It was Yun Chenzi!

Beside him was a middle-aged Cultivator holding a feather fan, with an immortal-like demeanor and profound, unfathomable Aura. He was the Family Head of the Zhuge Family of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion—Zhuge Xuanji!

The moment the two descended onto the battlefield, their gazes simultaneously locked onto the young figure below!

In Yun Chenzi's eyes, the black and white Qi suddenly accelerated its flow!

He remembered this face!

This was precisely the green-robed Cultivator who had stood in the distance, calmly observing the battle above the Duan Family Ancestral Land!

That face, which he had repeatedly deduced but always remained blurry, now finally appeared clearly before him!

He didn't rush to act, but instead turned to Zhuge Xuanji beside him.

Zhuge Xuanji already understood, and his fingertips quickly moved, his eyes gleaming like lightning.

A moment later, he nodded slightly, his tone firm.

"This person is entangled with you by Karma; there's no mistake."

Yun Chenzi's gaze sharpened.

It seems the dao-obstructing person is indeed this individual!

Although there might be another mastermind behind this person, now that his identity was confirmed, they would proceed according to the previous plan—first sever his arm, then seek his root!

As long as this person could be suppressed and killed, no matter who the mastermind was, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses!

Yun Chenzi's Aura suddenly soared, and the black and white Qi roared out from around him, transforming into an Yin and Yang Dao Domain that enveloped the heavens and earth!

He raised his right hand, and within his palm, the Yin and Yang Qi rapidly spun, condensing into an extremely terrifying vortex.

He was preparing to strike with full force, to suppress and kill this person in one blow!

As for Jiang Wunian, who was off to the side?

Yun Chenzi didn't even spare him a glance.

It wasn't that he looked down on Jiang Wunian as the mastermind, because that would be greatly overestimating this person.

He had already ascertained Jiang Wunian's true strength during their encounter decades ago.

Although this person was at Golden Core Perfection, and his methods and Foundation were quite impressive, his Dao cultivation was limited, and he could not possibly be the mastermind capable of "obstructing the Dao."

At best, he was merely a clown who happened to be at the right place at the right time.

However, while Yun Chenzi ignored Jiang Wunian, Jiang Wunian could not ignore Yun Chenzi!

He was originally fully channeling the seven-colored giant hand, preparing to capture "Murong Jingyang," when he saw the Void Realm tear open and Yun Chenzi descend with Zhuge Xuanji!

What infuriated him even more was that Yun Chenzi actually completely ignored him!

That feeling was as if he was an insignificant speck of dust, not even worth a second glance from the other party!

And what astonished and angered him even further was that Yun Chenzi's target was also the very "desire fruit" he had painstakingly cultivated for so long and was about to harvest!

"Yun Chenzi, how dare you!"

Jiang Wunian roared, no longer caring about reason or weighing his options!

This person concerned his Dao path and his future; he would never allow anyone to lay a hand on him!

He suddenly turned, and the seven-colored giant hand, which had been grabbing at "Murong Jingyang," forcibly twisted its direction in mid-air and slammed down towards Yun Chenzi!

At the same time, a brilliant seven-colored radiance erupted from his body, and the Seven Emotions Dao Domain fully unfolded, attempting to interfere with and erode Yun Chenzi's mind!

"Get lost!"

Yun Chenzi frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.
