Chapter 446 Master, You've Grown Old
Duanmu Qing lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to refute Changqingzi's words.
Daoist Ancestor, wasn't it you who ordered me to imprison her?!
However, Duanmu Qing only dared to think these words in his heart. He wouldn't dare to say them out loud even if he were given a hundred lives.
On the other side, Ji Huanxue was rapidly traversing the jungle, chasing after the fleeing Immortal Alliance cultivators.
Although the Venerable Ones of the Immortal Alliance also noticed the commotion, they dared not make any move. They could only stand in the void above, fully on guard, fearing that Changqingzi below would make another move.
However, after making his first move, Changqingzi seemed to have no intention of making another. He slowly sat down, resting his chin on his hand, and looked up at the void above, seemingly lost in thought.
The people from Changqing Palace below could no longer contain themselves and rushed out of the open space, charging into the forest.
"Hahahaha! Kill those pigs and dogs from the Immortal Alliance!!"
"We stole their immortal artifacts and their ascension elixir!!"
With our patriarch in charge this time, who dares to lay a hand on the people of Changqing Palace?!
The cultivators of Changqing Palace were like wolves with bloodshot eyes, uttering strange cries, as if the people in the forest were some kind of Venerable Dao Ancestor, and they didn't care about them at all.
In an instant, the entire Crimson Forest was enveloped in a bloody atmosphere.
After an unknown amount of time, a subtle fluctuation suddenly came from the horizon.
This fluctuation is invisible yet powerful, like surging waves, one layer higher than the next.
Sensing this unusual aura, the Venerables of the Immortal Alliance were immediately shaken, knowing that powerful reinforcements had arrived.
Sure enough, just half a breath later, three figures slowly appeared from the sky and walked towards the direction where these Venerable Ones were, as if taking a stroll.
Upon seeing these three, the Venerables from the Demonic Sect all took a step back. Clearly, the Venerables were astonished by the immense power of these three.
The three of them stood on the side of the Immortal Alliance. They did not speak, but looked directly at the figure sitting on the cliff below.
"It's really him."
One person sighed.
The three of them then took a step forward and instantly transformed into a beam of light, appearing before the cliff below.
"Master, a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. I hope you have been well."
One of the three spoke slowly to Changqingzi, who was sitting there.
This person seemed to be surrounded by some kind of unusual light, making his face and figure somewhat unreal. The constantly solidifying and blurring boundaries of his figure made him seem as if he would dissipate into the void at any moment.
The two people to his left and right were the same. Clearly, the cultivation of these three people had reached an extremely high level, far surpassing that of the Venerables above.
Upon seeing the three of them, Changqingzi chuckled and then spoke:
"So it's the three of you. Not bad, not bad. After more than a thousand years, you've finally made some progress."
None of the three responded, but the one in the middle continued:
"Master, now that you've been resurrected ahead of schedule, how far can you go relying on this white star robe?"
"Why not just dissolve this war and let this world return to peace?"
This person is known for his outrageous words. He dared to say such things to the First Dao Ancestor, Changqingzi, which immediately caused the expressions of the many Venerables in the sky to change drastically.
But the next moment, Changqingzi fell silent.
After a short while, he suddenly burst into laughter and said:
"Gongye Hu, you haven't changed at all. You're still so ignorant. Come, let this old ancestor take a good look at how much progress the three of you have made in the past thousand years!"
After Changqingzi finished speaking, a pattern on his blue robe lit up again, and then the entire cliff was suddenly enveloped in a strong light, as if a great sun was suspended there.
The venerable ones above looked on in astonishment, for even with their eyesight, they could not discern what was happening within the intense light.
On the other side, deep in the forest, Ding Yi also saw the bright orange light that suddenly appeared on the horizon, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Although he didn't know what had happened over there, he was certain that Changqingzi and the Venerable of the Immortal Alliance had probably started fighting.
It's too late.
Ding Yi's heart sank slightly. He could no longer hide there. Instead, he suddenly burst out of the ground and rushed towards Ji Huanxue's direction.
Following that faint feeling in his heart, Ding Yi quickly found Ji Huanxue a hundred miles away.
At this moment, she stood coldly on a pile of ruins, while behind her were six or seven figures being held by a large blue hand.
Ding Yi stood far behind, watching this scene, and immediately gasped.
This woman is amazing!
In such a short time, he has captured so many cultivators from the Immortal Alliance and beaten them half to death. His speed is almost as fast as if I were to take action myself!
Ding Yi secretly rejoiced. He had thought this woman was pretty good from the beginning, and now it seemed he had really struck gold.
However, he did not rush forward at this moment, but instead hid behind a big tree and waited quietly.
The commotion outside is still too small. If we go forward now, there is still a good chance that those venerable ones will notice us.
After all, Ji Huanxue's status and strength are definitely within the scope of those Venerables' attention.
Ji Huanxue seemed to have noticed Ding Yi's arrival, but after she saw Ding Yi stop a few miles away from her, she understood what he meant.
She simply threw all the half-dead cultivators into a pit, then with a swift movement, she left the place.
Not long after Ji Huanxue left, a loud bang suddenly came from the direction of Changqing Palace. The restriction that shrouded the blood-red forest shattered, and the invisible, oppressive pressure suddenly dissipated, causing the Immortal Alliance cultivators in the forest to be overjoyed.
"Chance!"
"Go quickly!!"
These cultivators on the Hidden Dragon Ranking were all very decisive. Seeing the restrictions above break, they all took to the air, not caring whether they were conspicuous or not, and rushed out of the forest.
At this moment, Ding Yi stood in the forest, watching the streaks of light flashing past overhead, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
These idiots, if you were allowed to escape so easily, how can you still be considered the number one in this world?
Ding Yi shook his head, and with a flick of his body, he rushed to the pit where Ji Huanxue had thrown the cultivators.
Inside the pit, the cultivators were all on the verge of death, lying motionless. If it weren't for their faint breaths, Ding Yi would have suspected they were already dead.
The prettier the woman, the more ruthless she is—that's a truth!
Ding Yi smacked his lips, sighed inwardly, and then, without further hesitation, pulled the nuclear sword from the tattoo on his chest.
"Fellow Daoists, we are now facing a formidable enemy. Please lend me your strength."
Ding Yi stared expressionlessly at the cultivators below, then suddenly threw the nuclear sword in his hand.
The next moment, countless figures surged out of the nuclear sword and rushed frantically into the pit below. Immediately, lines of prompts appeared rapidly in front of Ding Yi's eyes.
[You have killed a celestial being from the Hunyuan Palace; your lifespan has increased by 1258 years and 1 day.]
[You have killed the Immortal of Xiaoyuan Palace, your lifespan has increased by 1356 years and 13 days.]
...
Ding Yi looked at the prompt in front of him, then took a deep breath.
That's about enough. With this much lifespan, it's enough to break through the trap that Changqingzi left inside Ji Huanxue's body.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly looked around, and soon chose a spot.
Without further hesitation, Ding Yi rushed towards the huge pit, while simultaneously sending a signal to Ji Huanxue.
"Come quickly!"
