The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 490.1: All Causes and Effects, All Added to the System Body

As the number of the Heavenly Fiend Ancestor and his followers dwindled,

The final outcome of the battle became quite clear.

However, during this time, Heavenly Fiend Ancestor and his followers continued to attack, trying to hit Shen Yifeng,

But everything they did was in vain.

Although Shen Yifeng was a qi refiner, he was a sword cultivator.

He seemed to have a greater ability in melee combat than other Qi Refiners.

Most importantly, after such a long battle, the Heavenly Fiend Ancestor and his followers had become scared.

Their goal had shifted from initially killing Shen Yifeng to simply surviving.

As a result, they were no longer qualified to fight Shen Yifeng.

At this time, the remaining four Soul Formation level cultivators retreated while fighting and headed towards the entrance of the main hall.

The onlookers at the entrance had already cleared a path.

Most of them had sensed the intentions of Heavenly Fiend Ancestor and his followers, but these people were still willing to give them a way out.

After all, compared to Heavenly Fiend Ancestor and his followers, everyone might be more hostile towards the already victorious Linjiang Branch of the Evil Moon Sect.

“This is impossible! Let’s go!”

Heavenly Fiend Ancestor roared as he stepped on the ground, his figure heading towards the entrance of the main hall.

Everything that happened today had shaken his understanding.

He couldn’t possibly stay here and wait for death.

“Old Ghost, can you escape?”

Before he could cross the threshold of the main hall,

Shen Yifeng’s voice rang in his ear.

The next moment, the void in front of him seemed to distort.

The Heavenly Fiend Ancestor only saw a flash of red light.

Instinctively, he wanted to pull out a defensive talisman to protect himself.

But a cold sensation spread through his chest.

Heavenly Fiend Ancestor looked down with a slightly dazed expression.

He saw a faint blood stain on his chest.

A sword-shaped wound had appeared there.

Desperation flashed in the old man’s eyes.

The sword qi filled with boundless murderous aura was constantly destroying the vitality within him.

“I…I…you…”

He stared blankly at Shen Yifeng in front of him.

He wanted to say something, but blood continued to flow from his mouth.

In just a few breaths, the vision before him plunged into utter darkness.

The life force had completely dissipated.

“The fourth!”

Shen Yifeng’s voice echoed in the hall once again.

At that moment, everyone here fell silent.

Their eyes were filled with shock.

In less than three minutes, four Soul Formation stage cultivators had already fallen.

And all of them were at the mid-stage of Soul Formation cultivation or higher.

Before Shen Yifeng, these people were nothing more than ants.

Even the onlookers were afraid to breathe for fear of attracting Shen Yifeng’s attention and receiving a fatal blow.

The Heavenly Fiend Ancestor had already fallen, and the remaining three lacked any fighting spirit.

At that moment, Shen Yifeng stood at the entrance of the hall, effectively blocking their escape route.

“Clang!”

In the next instant, the remaining three Soul Formation level cultivators who were still inside the hall involuntarily lowered their weapons.

“Shen… Lord Shen, this… this was all a misunderstanding.

Lord Shen, your power is unparalleled, we have learned our lesson. We humbly bow before your power.

Please, Lord, show mercy!”

“Spare us, Lord! We were possessed by a ghost earlier and bumped into you.

Please, Lord, don’t hold a grudge against us little people. Let us go.”

“……”

These three were all high-ranking figures, ancestors of powerful forces in Huangzhou.

But at this moment, facing imminent death, they cast aside any shred of dignity.

Nothing mattered more than survival.

As long as they could return to their sects, they could still be role models, controlling the lives and deaths of others.

The three of them wilted, their aura plummeting, clearly unwilling to fight any longer.

Shen Yifeng’s lips curled back into a smile.

“I am Bloodhand Asura!”

After uttering those terrifying words, Shen Yifeng did not hesitate.

The Killing Sword in his hand instantly shot out.

“Plop! Plop! Plop!”

In the next instant, all they heard were three sickening thumps.

The three men widened their eyes and stared at their chests in disbelief.

They had met the same fate as the Heavenly Fiend Ancestor and the others.

They couldn’t understand why Shen Yifeng would still strike them down even after they begged for mercy.

Of course, it was simply because they didn’t understand the meaning behind the words “Blood Hand Asura”.

Three corpses once again lay on the floor of the hall.

Blood gradually stained the tiles.

The Killing Sword returned to Shen Yifeng’s hand.

At that moment, the murderous aura emanating from him reached its peak.

The onlookers who were close to him instinctively took a few steps back.

They were still afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.

At this time, Shen Yifeng’s gaze swept over everyone’s faces, indifferent and cold.

Like an invincible killing god.

No one dared to meet his gaze.

The elders of the Evil Moon Sect, including the Second Elder standing in front of Zou Zeyu, all wore anxious expressions.

Although Shen Yifeng was the third ranked Elder of the Evil Moon Sect, he hadn’t made a move for years.

Before this, the elders of the Evil Moon Sect hadn’t really taken him seriously.

However, this battle once again reminded everyone of the meaning behind the words “Blood Hand Asura”.

“Some people can’t just be judged by their cultivation realm.”

“Thirty years ago, the Third Elder was the first genius of our Evil Moon Sect, who was able to cause such turmoil in the Luo River region decades ago.

It’s ridiculous that all these years we’ve treated him as an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.”

“Is the fighting strength the Third Elder displayed today really his limit? I don’t think so.”

“Within our Evil Moon Sect, I wonder if the First Elder can surpass him. If he really insists on protecting the Saintess to become the new sect master of the Evil Moon Sect this time… then this matter is truly uncertain.”

“…”

The elders of the Evil Moon Sect, who had been silent all along, looked at Shen Yifeng, who was still standing like a killing god in the middle of the hall, their expressions extremely complex.

They seemed to have already foreseen the kind of turmoil the Evil Moon Sect would face in a year when they appointed a new Sect Master.

It would probably be a bloodbath.

Of course, the combat power that Shen Yifeng had unleashed at this moment would have an effect on the Evil Moon Sect far beyond what they could see.

Many of the elders who had originally supported Zou Zeyu began to rethink.

The events that had taken place in the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect were crystal clear to the main sect.

Even the relationship between Luo Yuebai and Su Jingzhen was something that most of the elders were somewhat aware of.

Of course, they knew Luo Yuebai’s intentions, and she wouldn’t be satisfied with just being Zou Zeyu’s sidekick.

Therefore, this competition will inevitably be more complex than in the past.

Just like Shen Yifeng’s unprecedented martial arts skills.

Some things that were once predestined have become ambiguous.

Zou Zeyu’s face remained calm, but his heart was churning with waves of unease and extreme reluctance.

He felt even more jealous of Luo Yuebai’s side.

At the same time, certain decisions became even more determined.

At this moment, Shen Yifeng didn’t care how others felt.

The Killing Sword flew out of his hand once again.

It directly chopped off the fingers of the seven corpses that were wearing storage rings.

The seven rings immediately returned to his hand.

They were his spoils of war and should not be wasted.

Besides, these seven people were the top fighters in their respective sects, and most of the good things their sects possessed were probably in those storage rings.

Taking them back would enrich the treasury of their Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.

“As I said before, most of the assets and treasures in the Dantan Ruins are in my hands.

And I’m here, and now I have the foundation of seven top powers.

If you want it, come and get it.”

Shen Yifeng’s lips curled into that familiar smile again.

He casually tossed the seven newly acquired rings.

His gaze fell on the cultivators from various factions who were still standing at the edge.

This was a blatant display of contempt.

Upon hearing this, the top powers who had been tempted to make a move earlier all wore grim expressions.

Many of them forced themselves to smile and retreated further.

With the precedent set by the Heavenly Fiend Ancestor and the other seven, these people dared not make a move against Shen Yifeng.

Seeing this, Shen Yifeng directly sheathed the Killing Sword.

“I gave you all a chance, but it seems that you are all useless.

“Since that’s the case, this old man is leaving now. Who dares to stop me?”

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the people standing at the entrance of the hall, who were slightly blocking the way, quickly stepped aside.

They cleared the way for him to leave.

Shen Yifeng walked out of the hall with a stoic expression on his face.

All the while, he could still feel dozens of auras surrounding him.

They had him firmly in their sights.

But not one of them dared to move.

It wasn’t until his figure disappeared from everyone’s sight that the expressions of those who remained turned incredibly ugly.

“What the hell… what kind of situation is this?”

The top forces of several states had gathered here, yet they were completely suppressed by Shen Yifeng, a mere cultivator from the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.

The news of this incident would undoubtedly become a source of shame for the major forces for a long time to come.

“Sigh…”

After a long silence, the Soul Formation level cultivators from renowned sects such as Dongxuan Academy and Flowing Wind Sword Sect shook their heads and sighed.

They didn’t dwell on it any longer, and turned their attention to the great hall, full of curiosity.

In truth, if all the forces gathered here had truly cooperated wholeheartedly, they might have stood a chance against Shen Yifeng.

Unfortunately, every power here had their own hidden agenda.

True cooperation was simply impossible.

They might be willing to join forces if their interests coincided, but who would want to do something that was both difficult and unrewarding?

Cultivators were selfish at their core.

“Dead friends are better than poor friends” was the best way to describe them.

Moreover, for the remaining top forces that were unharmed, Shen Yifeng’s killing of the seven cultivators at the late Soul Formation stage was actually a good thing.

With the Heavenly Fiend Ancestor and the other six falling here, the sects they belonged to would find it increasingly difficult to maintain their current positions.

Even though they could only scavenge for scraps and drink a little soup inside the Dantian Ruins, with the Heavenly Devil Sect and other powerful forces out of the game, they could share a huge amount of benefits.

Therefore, this trip to the Dantian Ruins was destined to cause a major power shift in those regions.

And at that moment, the most terrified of all was Cang Yun, the first hero to break through the gate.

As he saw the Heavenly Fiend Ancestor and others fall, his face turned pale and his body trembled.

“How could this happen? According to my premonition, it shouldn’t be like this. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, Su Jingzhen must die!”

He kept muttering to himself.

He had foreseen that Su Jingzhen was here, and he had also foreseen the possibility of Su Jingzhen and Xuening leaving.

He just didn’t expect things to turn out this way.

Some people were truly beyond his premonition.

“Let’s go, back to the Elixier Pavilion.”

No one noticed Cang Yun’s change.

At that time, the top forces searched the hall, found little, and then suddenly remembered the treasure halls they had temporarily abandoned earlier.

Since Shen Yifeng had such an ability, and Su Jingzhen and Xuening had never been here, they couldn’t help but think that there must be a secret passage leading out of here.

And now, in the Dantai Ruins, where else would the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect be willing to make a move?

It must be the few pavilions they haven’t opened yet.

Someone mentioned it in passing, and the people from the top forces swarmed out.

At that moment, Han Ning and the others from Dongxuan Academy walked up to Cang Yun.

“Elder… Elder… I…”

Cang Yun was still filled with fear.

When he saw Han Ning and the others, he seemed to see a lifesaving straw.

All his previous confidence and calculations seemed to have become insignificant in the face of absolute power.

Although Cangyun still had a strong desire to kill Su Jingzhen, he also gained a bit of self-awareness.

He knew that with the power they brought from Dongxuan Academy this time, it would be impossible to achieve anything.

All he wanted now was to escape from here and survive.

“Let’s go. The purpose of bringing you guys out this time has been accomplished.

You guys are undoubtedly the most talented among the students of Dongxuan Academy, but you guys have always thought highly of yourselves.

Now you know that there is a heaven beyond the heavens. After you return, Dongxuan Academy will still provide you with endless resources to cultivate diligently.”

Han Ning sighed and his gaze fell on Cang Yun once again.

“As for you, after you return, you should go back to the Cang family and rest for a while.”

Cang Yun, who had been harboring a glimmer of hope, felt the despair return to his eyes upon hearing this.

He knew the underlying meaning of Han Ning’s words.

Dongxuan Academy wouldn’t protect him.

At the very least, Dongxuan Academy wouldn’t stand up to someone with Shen Yifeng’s fighting strength because of Cang Yun.

This meant that he would be left to fend for himself.
