123: Tianshu Hall: Arrest Li Yan immediately

As the Blood Cultivators prepared to cease their attack, Elder Su Xuanming of the Su Family ordered them to continue casting spells.

"Su Family lads, continue to increase your spellcasting!"

Su Xuanming sneered inwardly.

"I didn't expect to encounter a Bloodline Chosen; this trip has been quite fruitful."

"As long as that kid absorbs enough Bloodline Poison, his spirit will inevitably be corrupted."

"Let him experience what true cultivation is!"

Watching Li Yan's strength surge, Su Xuanming was not afraid; instead, he was excited.

Historical records mention a type of person who is born with the Bloodline Chosen physique.

After absorbing Bloodline, they not only don't die but their cultivation dramatically increases.

Li Yan's situation perfectly matched the descriptions in the ancient texts.

"If this kid can ascend to Immortality, he will surely thank me, hehehe."

"If I send an ascended Cultivator to the Bloodline Emperor Lord, His Elder will surely send me a dream message."

At this moment, Su Xuanming was extremely pleased, thinking he had accomplished a deed of Karma Perfection.

If the Bloodline Emperor Lord knew, he would probably crawl out of his coffin, so enraged he'd die from anger.

The one Su Xuanming was nurturing was not one of his own; to the ancient gods, Li Yan was simply a monster.

Of course, at this moment, no one realized this.

And Li Yan's cultivation was continuously surging with the 'help' of the Blood Law Cultivators.

Golden Core Stage eighth level, ninth level, Peak!

The Golden Core within Li Yan's body began to undergo a qualitative change.

The moon wanes when full, and water overflows when it reaches its brim.

When the Golden Core could no longer bear the massive Qi Sea, the Golden Core shattered, and a Nascent Soul was nurtured!

Li Yan's goal was also achieved; his intention in making a move this time was to absorb as much blood mist as possible, extract the Bloodline Poison within it, and enhance his cultivation.

There was no retreat in the siege battle, and he no longer wanted to hide anything.

But when he heard Su Xuanming's voice, Li Yan raised an eyebrow.

He muttered to himself,

"They think I'm a Bloodline Chosen?"

"Do they think I'll fall into the Dao of Blood Law?"

Hearing this, Li Yan appeared calm on the surface, but a bold idea emerged in his mind.

While Li Yan was calculating how to drain the remaining value from the other side, Su Xuanming looked up at the sky.

"The east is turning white; it's almost dawn."

"Su Family lads, retreat!"

Su Xuanming waved his hand, leading the Blood Cultivators to retreat into the teleportation array.

However, the look in his eyes when he gazed at Li Yan held a profound meaning.

It seemed his hasty retreat was related to Li Yan.

Because of Li Yan's uniqueness, he decided to abandon the current plan.

Firstly, this surprise attack was blocked by the Golden Body Avatar and was unsuccessful, so retreating quickly would avoid losing more elite Disciples.

Secondly, Su Xuanming saw a greater possibility in Li Yan; he seemed to have already begun his next scheme.

And although the Blood Cultivators were unwilling, under Su Xuanming's command, they still retreated.

By the time the sun rose, the Blood Law Cultivators in the city had already withdrawn through the teleportation array, leaving behind the bodies of countless innocent victims on Vermillion Bird Avenue.

Everyone watched as the Blood Cultivators were 'repelled' and collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Mo had fought for several hours and also felt tired.

Out of instinct, she looked in Li Yan's direction to confirm if he was well.

For some reason, seeing Li Yan standing there unharmed, she felt an indescribable joy.

"As long as he's alright..."

"Hmm? Strange, why do I care so much about him?"

"It must be because he resembles the First Generation Holy Master so much that I feel this way?"

Su Mo didn't know that her subconscious still retained memories from the previous timeline.

The days spent by Li Yan's side, that instinct to protect her master, had already been branded deep into her Soul.

Just as Su Mo was about to walk over and check on Li Yan's condition,

a sharp voice rang out.

"Come, take him down for me!"

A group of Tianshu Hall Disciples surrounded Li Yan.

Li Yan watched as dozens of Tianshu Hall Disciples encircled him.

He raised an eyebrow, but inwardly, he felt no fear.

Why no fear? Because the Hall Master was one of his own; what was there to fear?

As long as Li Yan wished, he could awaken Su Mo's Corpse Puppet contract at any time.

So, facing the Cultivators of Tianshu Hall, Li Yan made no reaction.

He put away the Golden Body Avatars and drew his shadow back beneath his feet.

Facing cold weapons pointed at him, Li Yan clasped his hands behind his back, a look of composure and indifference on his face.

The one giving the order was none other than Sixth Elder Xu Mo of Tianshu Hall.

Elder Xu Mo, with a stern face, pointed at Li Yan: "I heard it all just now."

"That Su Xuanming said you were some Bloodline Chosen, and I saw with my own eyes that you were absorbing blood mist."

"You're an outsider, with an unclear identity, yet with Golden Core Stage cultivation, you were able to block so many Blood Cultivators."

"Young man, aren't you going to explain?"

Facing Sixth Elder Xu Mo's aggressive attitude, Li Yan disdained to explain.

Explain what?

If there's any problem, go talk to my Corpse Puppet Su Mo.

There were too many onlookers currently, and they were on the main street.

Li Yan also didn't want to awaken Su Mo, the Corpse Puppet, to avoid being noticed.

He was calculating his next move; as long as he was taken to Tianshu Hall, it wouldn't be too late to awaken Su Mo.

At that time, by using Su Mo's position, he would be able to control the entire Tianshu Hall; what was there to worry about?

But just then, other Loose Cultivators around them stepped forward.

Many Loose Cultivators had been saved by Li Yan and remembered his kindness.

"Sixth Elder, you are going too far!"

"If it weren't for this Fellow Daoist, whether we would have survived is uncertain."

"It was this Fellow Daoist who sealed the teleportation array and blocked the blood mist for us; he is our savior."

The Loose Cultivators were agitated, all stepping forward to speak up for Li Yan.

It was Li Yan who acted and saved everyone, yet now they wanted to arrest Li Yan? What kind of logic was this?

Facing the crowd's questioning, Sixth Elder Xu Mo snorted coldly.

"When Tianshu Hall handles matters, it's not for you commoners to shout beside us."

"When our Tianshu Hall arrests someone, do we need to ask you?"

Upon hearing this, the Loose Cultivators became even more enraged, all disliking the Sixth Elder's arrogance.

Seeing the crowd begin to clamor, Hall Master Su Mo flew through the air and landed in front of Li Yan.

"Sixth Elder, what the other Fellow Daoists said is not wrong."

"If Little Friend Li hadn't acted, I fear the city would already be a scene of Hell on earth."

In her subconscious, Su Mo was still on Li Yan's side.

Hearing Su Hall Master speak, the passersby and Loose Cultivators applauded.

"The Hall Master truly has vision."

"Su Hall Master understands reason; everyone is convinced!"

"Sixth Elder, are you perhaps trying to defy the Hall Master?"

Facing the pressure from the crowd, the Sixth Elder still stubbornly argued.

"Heh, who knows if he's just pretending?"

"He's only Golden Core Stage yet possesses such methods."

"What if he's a spy sent by the Blood Cultivators, making you grateful at first only to stab you in the back later? Who among you can guarantee it?"

"No matter what you think, Hall Master, I suggest we first lock this person up and interrogate him slowly!"

As he spoke, the Sixth Elder secretly winked at Li Yan.

This old man...

What's going on?

He's even winking at Li Yan; could this old man, the Sixth Elder, have a liking for men and harbor improper thoughts towards Li Yan?
