234: Chapter 234 The Peerless Chariot Comes to the Rescue

"Roar!!"

Na Tuo's mountain-like physique exuded a terrifying sense of oppression, surrounded by monstrous Demonic Qi. Its eyes were hollow and indifferent, devoid of any emotion, containing only cold Killing Intent.

It was extremely ferocious, opening its mouth to spew a pitch-black, destructive beam of light, surging with Killing Intent.

Yun Qiyao gritted her teeth, preparing to once again activate the water moon immortal mirror to struggle against this attack.

But in the blink of an eye.

The Void Realm behind Ji Taichang suddenly split open, and a golden spear thrust out violently, resembling a rising sun. It emitted boundless radiance, accompanied by an indescribable and terrifying power of Law!

Boom!!

The golden spear collided with the destructive beam of light, illuminating the entire Void Realm in a vast expanse. The heavens shook, the earth quaked, and the stars trembled—a scene both magnificent and astonishing.

"It's her!?"

Yun Qiyao turned around abruptly. Upon seeing the newcomer, a look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on her Face!

A figure enveloped in golden light stepped out. Standing three zhang tall, she was clad in golden armor with a pair of wide golden wings on her back. Her figure was tall and slender, and the chest plate of her armor was stretched to its limit. She looked heroic and spirited, as if a female war god had descended upon the world!

The Thirteenth Ancestor of the Imperial Ye Clan, 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci!

"Black Heaven Demon Emperor!?"

13th Ancestor Ye Qingci's pupils constricted violently. Upon seeing Na Tuo's massive and terrifying demonic body, a look of solemnity flashed in her eyes.

There had not been many Mahayana Stage powerhouses throughout the history of the Eastern Desolate Region, and the Black Heaven Demon Emperor was a standout among them, renowned across the four seas. Naturally, 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci was aware of it.

Seeing the Black Heaven Demon Emperor, who should have died five hundred thousand years ago, appear before her, even someone with 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci's composed mindset could not help but be startled.

"Senior, be careful! It is a Dream Husk of the Illusion Demon!"

"Illusion Demon!?"

"This is Falling Phoenix Ridge??"

13th Ancestor Ye Qingci's heart skipped a beat again, and her expression instantly became solemn.

"Roar—"

Na Tuo roared up at the sky. Its massive body exuded an endless sense of oppression, and it was filled with fierce, unparalleled Demonic Qi!

"You go first; I will hold it off!"

Although 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci's expression was solemn, she was not afraid. She swung her spear with a backhand motion, tearing a gap in the imprisoned space, and then, with a flash of light from her spear, she thrust it towards Na Tuo!

"Thank you, Senior!"

Yun Qiyao breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately regrouped with Kunkun, rushed out through the gap, and fled Falling Phoenix Ridge!

"To think it's someone from the Imperial Clan... Very well, I'll give the Imperial Clan some Face."

"Those old fogies are not easy to deal with..."

In a Forbidden Ground deep within Falling Phoenix Ridge, that mysterious and terrifying eye in the sky watched 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci silently, emitting an ancient and eerie voice.

Soon!

Kunkun burst out from the Void Realm, moved far away from Falling Phoenix Ridge, and began to head towards the Qingyun Sect.

Yun Qiyao returned to the water moon immortal mirror. Ji Taichang retracted the water moon immortal mirror and the power of his five Supreme-grade talents. His body relaxed, and a wave of exhaustion surged into his mind, causing him to lose his footing and fall towards Lan Huaying.

During that battle just now, Yun Qiyao had borrowed Ji Taichang's body to fight intensely against Na Tuo, which put a tremendous burden on him, not to mention that he had taken quite a few attacks from Na Tuo.

If it were an ordinary Body Integration Stage Cultivator, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it at all!

"Taichang, are you alright?"

Lan Huaying was startled. She hurriedly pulled Ji Taichang into her embrace and took out several Medicinal Pills from her Storage Ring, stuffing them into his mouth.

Ji Taichang rested his head on Lan Huaying's massive cushions, feeling the pain in his body subside significantly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

Although he had taken a beating, this wave was a huge profit!

[Ding! Lan Huaying's favorability has decreased by 10 points]

[Lan Huaying's favorability: 90 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

The System notification sound rang out abruptly.

"?"

Ji Taichang was stunned, feeling as if a giant question mark had appeared over his head.

Wait, what?

Hadn't Big Huahua's favorability already been maxed out?

And she was currently filled with concern and worry, so why had her favorability dropped instead?

"Could it be that her favorability had abnormally increased due to the influence of the Illusion Demon earlier, and now that she was no longer under its influence, her favorability had returned to normal?"

Ji Taichang vaguely guessed the truth in his heart.

"Master, I fear we were targeted by the Illusion Demon the moment we entered Falling Phoenix Ridge!"

"The Dream Husk we encountered must have been the 'bait' for the Illusion Demon, exerting influence at close range, clouding our consciousness, and devouring us bit by bit... If not for the water moon immortal mirror, even I would not have been able to detect it!"

Yun Qiyao's solemn voice rang in Ji Taichang's ears.

During the conversation.

The Void Realm ahead suddenly split open. Amidst a diffusion of golden light, 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci, that peerless, voluptuous beauty, stepped out and stood before Ji Taichang. The massive chest plate of her armor made Ji Taichang subconsciously swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Senior, have you already slain that Black Heaven Demon Emperor?"

"It's not that simple."

13th Ancestor Ye Qingci shook her head: "I merely repelled it and seized the opportunity to retreat in one strike. Fortunately, the Black Heaven Demon Emperor did not pursue."

"Here, this is the treasure I promised you earlier. After accepting it, you and Ye Xiyan will have no further connection, and you are not allowed to pester her in the future, understand?"

13th Ancestor Ye Qingci waved her hand, and a translucent jade box appeared before Ji Taichang.

Inside was a black lotus, crystal clear, with strands of mysterious golden threads flowing through it. It looked quite extraordinary.

This was precisely the reason 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci had come to find Ji Taichang!

"This is... the Nine Nether Soul Lotus!!"

Yun Qiyao was shaken, her eyes shining with excitement and surprise!

Because...

The Nine Nether Soul Lotus was a Grade 7 precious medicine, and in terms of medicinal efficacy alone, it could even rival a Grade 8 holy medicine to a certain extent!

The Nine Nether Soul Lotus contained pure soul essence and was said to be capable of bringing the dead back to life and reshaping the Primordial Spirit as long as a wisp of a remnant soul remained!

The Nine Nether Soul Lotus could also nourish the Origin of the Primordial Spirit, possessing infinite wonderful uses; even in a Holy Land, one might not be able to find it!!

It was clear that the Imperial Clan held Ye Xiyan in high regard, which was why they would bring out such a treasure to "buy out" the master-disciple relationship between Ji Taichang and Ye Xiyan.

It had quite the overbearing feeling of "Here's a million, leave my daughter."

"Thank you, Senior!"

"From now on, I will have absolutely no connection with Ye Xiyan, and I will not go looking for her again. Rest assured, Senior!"

Ji Taichang was also all smiles as he accepted the Nine Nether Soul Lotus directly.

He indeed wouldn't proactively go looking for Ye Xiyan in the future.

However...

As for whether Ye Xiyan would proactively come looking for him, that was none of his business!

"As long as you understand."

Seeing that Ji Taichang was so sensible, 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci nodded in satisfaction, tore open the Void Realm, and turned to leave.

"Here, Xiao Yao, it's for you. Recover your Mahayana Stage cultivation early and take me flying."

Ji Taichang put the Nine Nether Soul Lotus into his Dantian and tossed it to Yun Qiyao.

[Ding! Yun Qiyao's favorability has increased by 1 point]

[Yun Qiyao's favorability: 9 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

Although Yun Qiyao knew that Ji Taichang was using her, a warm current still surged in her heart.

This was because Ji Taichang had handed over supreme treasures like the water moon immortal mirror and the Nine Nether Soul Lotus to her without any reservation!

These were treasures that even top-tier powerhouses could only dream of!
