154: A great victory, and the upcoming baptism of Taoism!
At this moment, the Demon Race's Semi-Saint wished he could immediately tear Lin Yan into countless pieces.
At the same time, a hint of shock also arose in his heart. Originally, in his eyes, Lin Yan was merely an ant of the Human Race at the Peak of the Concentration Realm.
However, this very ant, in his eyes, had not only humiliatingly annihilated Demon Three, their most outstanding Prodigy, but now, because of him, the entire battle situation had become completely one-sided.
"Playing for keeps with this Old Man, and you still have the mind to look elsewhere?!"
Dao Xu Zi's expression immediately turned cold when he saw the fierce gaze of the Demon Race Semi-Saint directed at Lin Yan, and his powerful strength instantly erupted.
The Demon Race Semi-Saint, who was already severely wounded, naturally faced an obvious outcome against Dao Xu Zi, who possessed True Saint combat power.
Poof!
In just a moment, the Demon Race's Semi-Saint was annihilated by Dao Xu Zi on the spot, turning into a sky full of blood mist, his body and spirit utterly destroyed!
Furthermore, on another battlefield, the remaining five Tribulation Stage Peak experts of the Demon Race were, without exception, completely wiped out.
Black demonic blood splattered from high in the sky onto the ground, staining the earth a deep black.
"Hooray! Kill these demon brats!"
At the border pass, when everyone saw this outcome, they all shouted excitedly, a sense of pride as fellow clansmen naturally arising!
In contrast, on the Demon Race's side, the remaining Prodigies and some Elder-level experts, seeing their own Semi-Saint and several Tribulation Stage Peak experts fall, showed expressions of terror and quickly turned back, entering the teleportation array and disappearing.
"Hahahaha! The mere Demon Race, I see they're nothing special! Weren't they still beaten into a pulp by us?"
"Fellow Daoist is right, they were driven away by us ten thousand years ago. Now, ten thousand years have passed, and they still haven't learned their lesson, still thinking of invading our land?"
"Now our Human Race is prosperous and flourishing, much stronger than in the past. If they dare to come again, we will surely make sure they never return!"
"..."
At the border pass, everyone looked at the scurrying Demon Race powerhouses, feeling an unspeakable sense of relief.
At the same time, everyone's face was filled with a strong sense of confidence, believing the Demon Race to be nothing more than that.
But at this moment, high in the sky, Dao Xu Zi and the other four Tribulation Stage Peak experts were full of worry, looking at the tall teleportation array in the distance, and said anxiously.
"Why is there still no movement from the Demon Realm side until now?"
"Exactly, now that a super Prodigy has fallen, plus a Semi-Saint, such a great loss, according to their nature, they should have already led a large army over, shouldn't they?"
"Something abnormal is bound to be demonic. I think the Demon Realm is brewing something big!"
"We should report this matter to the True Saint Dojo as soon as possible!"
After a discussion, the few immediately returned to the border pass.
According to the pre-arranged plan, led by the major Holy Lands, one Tribulation Stage expert was left to guard the border, while other top forces left Great Ascension Stage experts.
"Remember, if there's any change, notify us immediately!"
After Dao Xu Zi instructed those staying behind, he immediately led his people to Lin Yan, smiling.
"Alchemist Lin, what are your plans next? Are you willing to come to my Central Divine Continent?"
Facing Dao Xu Zi's friendly invitation, Lin Yan clasped his fists and smiled, saying,
"Please, Senior, return first. After I've dealt with the matters in Eastern Yan Province, I will certainly visit in person."
Upon hearing this, Dao Xu Zi also nodded with a smile, then added,
"But Alchemist Lin, please remember, three months from now will be the Dao Province's once-in-a-millennium Dao Rhyme Baptism. Please remember to come!"
Having said that, he led the others away.
The Old Ancestors of the other four Holy Lands also stepped forward one by one to bid farewell to Lin Yan. After experiencing the Heaven-Defying effects of the Medicinal Pills with Dao Marks, their respect for Lin Yan grew even stronger.
Although the Medicinal Pills with Dao Marks they had previously consumed were all used for combat, this did not affect the five thousand years added to their lifespan in the slightest!
"Alchemist Lin, our four Holy Lands await your arrival!"
Amidst laughter, the four Holy Lands, led by the four individuals, also quickly departed.
At this moment, the gazes of the surrounding crowd, who had not yet left, towards Lin Yan suddenly became filled with admiration and envy.
To be so highly valued and respected by the five Holy Lands, this was a sight they had never witnessed before!
"Alas, for the Dao Rhyme Baptism three months from now, all Sects in the entire Dao Province that are qualified will send people.
"At that time, once the news that Alchemist Lin can refine Dao Rhyme Medicinal Pills spreads, I can't even imagine how crazy those Dao Lineages will become!"
"That's right, let alone those Holy Land Dao Lineages, even the True Saint Dojo will probably swallow their pride and ask Alchemist Lin for pills."
"So, if low-level Cultivators like us want to ask Alchemist Lin for pills, we have to do it early!"
"..."
"Congratulations, Lin Yan! To be treated as an honored guest by the five Holy Lands, you are the first person in the history of the entire Eastern Xuan Domain!"
Nangong Ye looked at Lin Yan, her face full of joy. The more outstanding her Disciple was, the more she, as his Revered Master, would benefit!
"Junior Brother, if you're going to visit the Holy Lands then, please don't forget to bring me along! I've never been to a Holy Land my whole life."
Beside them, Ling Shuangshuang was also full of happiness.
As for Ling Jiao and Fire Finch, there was even less to say.
"Ye'er!"
However, just as everyone was in a joyful atmosphere, a sudden shout brought them back to their senses.
Immediately, the few of them turned in unison, looking at the approaching group of people in formation robes, their faces full of confusion.
But Lin Yan, seeing the genuine affection in the eyes of the group opposite towards Nangong Ye, guessed that these people were Nangong Ye's clansmen.
"Fellow Daoist Nangong, you have been away from the Central Divine Continent for many years. Now that the Dao Rhyme Baptism is about to begin, it's time to return."
On the other side, the Nangong Family members also quickly said.
"That's right, Ye'er, you are a Prodigy rarely seen in our clan for ten thousand years, that spot in our Nangong Family naturally belongs to you!"
However, Nangong Ye's expression remained cold towards their words, and she remained silent.
Seeing this, those from the Nangong Family sighed and said bitterly,
"Ye'er, the decision to marry into the Yang Family back then was indeed foolish of those old men in the clan. As long as you come back with us, we will immediately annul the engagement with the Yang Family, how about that?"
As they spoke, they did not forget to glance at War Heaven, who was beside Nangong Ye.
They found that the latter was glaring at them angrily.
"So this is the true reason Fellow Daoist Nangong left the Family?!"
Seeing War Heaven angered, Nangong Ye finally spoke slowly.
"Fellow Daoist War Heaven, you've misunderstood. The arranged marriage was a decision made by those old men in the clan, otherwise, I wouldn't have fled the Family for so many years because of it!"
At this point, Nangong Ye also sighed slightly and said,
"Alright, I'll go back to the clan with you to annul this farcical arranged marriage."
