130: Quick Retreat

As his shout fell, Lin Yang's hand seals changed again, using a secret art to retrace the real scenes of these corpses before their deaths.

The images clearly showed that the Prodigies of various major forces, like Puppets, furiously besieged Lin Yang alone under Night Shadow's control.

Watching the scenes flash by, the Saints of all sides gradually darkened their expressions.

Finally, after Lin Yang used his Holy Body Divine Power to rescue the remnant souls of the many Prodigies sealed within their Physical Bodies, the images slowly disappeared.

The scene fell into a strange silence...

The silence was so profound that a pin drop could be heard, yet everyone could feel the suppressed rage of the Saints beneath that quiet atmosphere.

They had originally thought that all of this was done by Lin Yang, the Saint of the Holy Emperor Sect.

But they never expected that everyone had been played by the Heavenly Kingdom Sect.

In an instant, the gazes of the Saints all shot towards the Saints of the Heavenly Kingdom Sect.

"Everyone, please listen to me! I was also unaware of this matter; it was all done by Night Shadow alone and has nothing to do with my Heavenly Kingdom Sect!"

Seeing the spearhead suddenly pointed at him, the Martial Saint of the Heavenly Kingdom Sect's expression also changed, and he quickly spoke to defend himself.

He truly knew nothing about this matter!

That Night Shadow was someone their Saint, Holy Son Ye Chen, had forced upon them before their departure; the Martial Saint of the Heavenly Kingdom Sect had no idea about Night Shadow's true origins.

He never expected that the latter would commit such a heinous act within the barrier.

Refining the Prodigies of other forces into killing Puppets and manipulating them—wasn't this putting their Heavenly Kingdom Sect on a grill?

If he had known this, how could he have come here with the other Saints? He would have run away at the first opportunity.

"Heh heh, it was done by one person, but not just by Night Shadow alone."

Just as everyone's gazes were coldly fixed on the Martial Saint of the Heavenly Kingdom Sect, Lin Yang spoke again, his words shocking and relentless, his smile not quite a smile, as he slowly directed his gaze towards Si Guoyi not far away.

"There's someone else!?

The Saints were startled, then immediately looked back at Lin Yang.

At this moment, they were all eager to know the truth behind the demise of their respective Prodigies.

Seeing the Saints' gazes once again converge on him, Lin Yang unhurriedly took out the hundred-plus drops of Martial Saint essence blood that Little Aili had helped him intercept before entering the barrier.

The moment he saw those drops of essence blood, Si Guoyi's face turned green.

"This is... Si Guoyi's essence blood?"

The moment the essence blood appeared, the Saints present immediately determined that it belonged to Si Guoyi.

What puzzled them was how Si Guoyi's essence blood could be in Lin Yang's hands?

And when it appeared, there were over a hundred drops!

One must know that a Martial Saint losing a single drop of essence blood would require several days of recovery.

These hundred-plus drops of essence blood, under normal circumstances, would take at least three to five years to fully Cultivate back.

This also meant that these drops of essence blood could not have been voluntarily given to Lin Yang by Si Guoyi.

"Everyone, that Night Shadow was actually controlled by Si Guoyi from behind!"

Following that, Lin Yang slowly continued, revealing all of Si Guoyi's actions to the public.

After listening, the Saints' expressions all changed involuntarily.

"Si Guoyi, you actually dared to collude with the Heavenly Kingdom Sect!?

The first to react was Qian Jin, the Grand Elder of the Celestial Immortal Academy. After hearing this, she looked at Si Guoyi with shock and anger, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She couldn't believe that the most outstanding Immortal seed of the Celestial Immortal Academy's previous generation would secretly collude with the Heavenly Kingdom Sect.

This was simply horrifying and chilling.

"Elder, listen to my explanation, this was just a temporary collaboration, a temporary collaboration...."

Facing Qian Jin's questioning, Si Guoyi quickly spoke to argue, adamantly denying that he was a spy for the Heavenly Kingdom Sect.

At this moment, he was secretly full of remorse.

If he had known that Lin Yang would one day expose his secret, he shouldn't have caused so much trouble before; he should have just sent in his Immortal Qi Clone from the beginning and killed Lin Yang.

"Old hag, don't pretend to be innocent here either! You had a hand in these Clones that snuck into the barrier, didn't you?"

Just then, Liu Ruyan suddenly pulled out a few severely damaged severed limbs and remains from the Void Realm with her jade-like hand.

Those were the Clones that Si Guoyi, with Qian Jin's help, had secretly sent into the barrier earlier.

Although they were now disfigured beyond recognition, the Qi on them remained.

There was both Si Guoyi's Qi and Qian Jin's Qi.

"Qian Jin, Si Guoyi, how do you explain this matter?"

The other Saints, seeing this, immediately darkened their expressions, then their gazes coldly fixed on Qian Jin and Si Guoyi.

It was agreed that each force would only send three Martial Venerable experts to compete for the Immortal fate, but they never expected the Celestial Immortal Academy to be so dishonest, not only secretly colluding with the Heavenly Kingdom Sect but also sending in several extra Clones.

This underhanded tactic was simply too much!

Stared at by the Saints' hostile gazes, Qian Jin's expression also subtly changed.

"Heh heh, dead old hag, can't you speak now!"

"Ultimately, the reason these Prodigies perished in the Demon Immortal Tomb was entirely due to the two of you, and it has nothing to do with Lin Yang behind me!"

Seeing Qian Jin speechless, Liu Ruyan sneered and spoke.

"Putting aside right and wrong, is Lin Yang behind you not at fault?"

After a moment of silence, Qian Jin suddenly looked at Lin Yang behind Liu Ruyan and spoke thus.

"I have your mother's fault!"

Lin Yang was stunned by the words, then immediately laughed in anger.

He truly didn't expect Qian Jin's mouth to be so stubborn.

The truth had already clearly surfaced, yet this old hag could still not forget to bite him back.

"Presumptuous! How dare you insult Senior Qian Jin, I, Si Guoyi, will not tolerate you!"

Seeing Qian Jin's face turn ashen from Lin Yang's insult, Si Guoyi seized the opportunity and quickly spoke to defend her, hoping to salvage some image in front of Qian Jin.

Things had come to this; he had to cling tightly to the Grand Elder of the Celestial Immortal Academy to have a sliver of hope.

Otherwise, if Lin Yang accidentally revealed that he was Holy Son Ye Chen's Clone later, causing the Saints to fully erupt.

By then, with his understanding of his main body, that damn Holy Son Ye Chen would definitely sacrifice a pawn to save the king, and would never admit the relationship between them!

"Hiss!"

However, just as Si Guoyi was pledging his loyalty, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Looking down, he found that a skeletal hand had directly pierced his heart from behind.

Si Guoyi turned his head back in disbelief, only to find Qian Jin looking at him with a cold expression.

"Elder Qian Jin, you..."

Si Guoyi's pupils widened and trembled, still wanting to ask something.

Before he could finish, Qian Jin expressionlessly interrupted him, and with a slight force of her palm, slowly crushed Si Guoyi's heart in front of everyone.

"Dead old hag, you are so ruthless!"

The moment his heart shattered, Si Guoyi also seemed to understand something and immediately cursed with a distorted face, using his last breath.

"Bang!"

The next moment, his heart was directly crushed by Qian Jin, and he died on the spot.

"What a ruthless woman!"

Looking at Qian Jin, who had suddenly struck Si Guoyi with a deadly blow, the Saints all felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts.

Facing the Saints' suspicious gazes, Qian Jin unhurriedly withdrew her blood-stained hand and took out a personal handkerchief.

While wiping the blood from her hand, she faced the crowd and said, "Everyone, I was indeed completely unaware of Si Guoyi's previous actions. However, since the mistake has been made, I have nothing to say."

"Now, I have personally killed him, which can be considered an explanation to all of you."

"If anyone still wishes to pursue this, it would not be too late to find me after the ownership of the Demon Immortal Legacy on this child has been decided."

Hearing Qian Jin's words, the Saints present exchanged glances and all nodded slightly.

"Elder Qian Jin's words are reasonable. Since the mastermind behind all of this was Si Guoyi alone, and he has already paid the price with his life, then this matter should end here."

"That's right, ultimately, Elder Qian Jin was also deceived by Si Guoyi. Now that the mastermind is dead, pursuing others further has little meaning."

"The most urgent matter is to discuss how to distribute the Demon Immortal Legacy here; that is the top priority!"

The Saints spoke one after another, redirecting their focus back to Lin Yang, desiring the Demon Immortal Legacy in his hands.

As for the Prodigies who died, they could simply Cultivate new ones later.

For the various forces, although it was somewhat heartbreaking, it was far from a crippling blow and could not be compared to the ownership of the Demon Immortal Legacy!

"You all fight for it; our Beast Taming Heavenly Sect will not participate!"

Just then, the Xuanwu Great Saint suddenly received some message, his expression immediately changed slightly, and after taking a deep look in Lin Yang's direction, he greeted Snarling Lion Heavenly Lord, King Benlei Ape, and Heavenly Dragon Underworld Emperor not far away, then turned to leave with them.

"Lin Yang, you just wait for us! If we meet again someday, we will definitely fight you again!"

As the three young Supremes left, they did not forget to challenge Lin Yang, vowing to defeat him in their next battle.

Lin Yang smiled faintly, watching them leave. "Enemies defeated by me will not be qualified to become my opponents again. I will give you time to pursue, until you are too far to even see me!"

The Saints were astonished; what kind of confidence was this?

The Xuanwu Great Saint also took a deep look in Lin Yang's direction before turning and leaving with his people.

"The Beast Taming Heavenly Sect just withdrew like that?"

Seeing the Xuanwu Great Saint truly leave, the Saints were very curious.

One must know that among the many forces present, the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect was definitely one of the strongest.

If they were to contend, there was a great chance they could seize the Demon Immortal Legacy.

However, at this critical juncture, the Xuanwu Great Saint led his people away.

It was truly unfathomable!

"Strange, why hasn't Old Ancestor brought people here after so long since the news was sent back?"

Just then, a Saint looked towards the distant sky, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

When the Demon Immortal barrier began to recede earlier, they had all sent messages back.

The responses they received at that time indicated that the Old Ancestors of all forces were preparing to come and contend.

However, until now, no force had sent anyone to reinforce them.

This situation was truly a bit strange.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Just as the Saints' confusion had not yet dissipated and they were about to take action themselves, suddenly, a series of ultra-long-distance transmissions spanning space successively entered the ears of the various Saints.

"Retreat quickly!"

"Abandon the Demon Immortal Legacy; never conflict with the Holy Emperor Sect!"

Similar messages entered the ears of the Saints, causing all of them to be greatly startled, their faces showing expressions of surprise and doubt.

Finally, a message like a clap of thunder spread, frightening all the Saints, whose expressions changed simultaneously.

"The Holy Emperor Sect Leader's second life cultivation failed, his Lifespan is nearing its end, and he has unsealed the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!"
