121: Reward

However, the previous few battles had also dragged on for some time.

Wang Xifeng had already learned of this matter.

Wang Xifeng gritted his teeth.

He knew he couldn't rely on others.

He immediately ordered the Diancang Sect's people to fully pursue Yang Yi.

He also issued a bounty.

“Whoever kills Yang Yi will be rewarded with a Profound Grade Cultivation Technique, one hundred million Spirit Stones, and a three-star Medium Grade Magic Treasure.”

As soon as such a generous bounty was announced, let alone others, even the people from Duobao Pavilion and Luoyue Sect were tempted.

Some people couldn't resist and were already preparing to make a move on Yang Yi.

When Yang Yi learned of this news, he was also moved.

He smiled and said to the two people beside him, “Why don’t you two kill me?”

“After you kill me, we’ll split the reward.”

The masked Senior couldn't help but laugh heartily.

“If you are truly willing, we wouldn’t mind.”

“We are about to leave Purple River Valley.”

“If there are no surprises, you will be safe.”

The Senior looked at a long canyon not far away and sighed faintly.

Hearing his sigh, Yang Yi felt a premonition of misfortune.

The three of them said nothing more and continued to walk forward.

When they reached the center of the canyon, a hearty, angry laugh suddenly came from above the canyon.

Along with the sound, two people floated down from above the valley.

At the same time, a group of strong cultivators also surged in from the entrance and exit of the canyon.

Yang Yi looked back.

There were no less than a hundred strong cultivators in front and behind him alone.

When he turned back again, the two people from above had already floated down before him.

Yang Yi knew these two people.

One was Wang Xifeng, and the other was Cang Jiuzhou.

Cang Jiuzhou smiled at the few people like an old friend and nodded.

Wang Xifeng, on the other hand, stared at Yang Yi with a look of grief and indignation, his teeth grinding audibly.

“Yang Yi, you are so cruel.”

“You killed my wife and child.”

“Do you still think you can leave alive today?”

“I do have that thought, but I don’t know if you are willing to let me go.”

Yang Yi replied calmly, as if discussing a trivial matter.

This made Wang Xifeng even more furious, his hatred soaring to the heavens.

He didn't even want to say any more nonsense and wanted to kill Yang Yi directly.

However, due to the two strong cultivators protecting Yang Yi, he suppressed the anger in his heart and scanned back and forth over their masks.

These two were heavily wrapped, making it impossible to tell who they were.

He had also asked Cang Jiuzhou before, but Cang Jiuzhou also didn't know who these two people were.

Wang Xifeng, of course, didn't believe him.

However, these two could force Cang Jiuzhou to retreat, so their abilities were clearly extraordinary.

He also didn't want to offend such figures.

He said coldly, “Two Seniors, we have no grievances or grudges.”

“Why do you meddle in others' affairs?”

“As long as you let Yang Yi go, I will not make things difficult for you.”

“If you insist on protecting Yang Yi, then all three of you will die here today.”

The masked Senior replied domineeringly, “I must fulfill what I have promised others.”

“Even if I die, I must keep my word.”

“Who did you promise?” Wang Xifeng asked curiously.

He didn't know who had the audacity to oppose the entire Diancang Sect and Opening Heaven Gate.

He figured that person wasn't someone to be feared, otherwise, why would these two guys wear masks and not dare to show their faces?

The masked Senior shook his head.

“You don’t need to know who asked me to protect Yang Yi.”

“You only need to know that Yang Yi must leave alive today.”

“Is that so? Then it depends on whether you have the ability.”

Seeing that the other party didn't listen to him, Wang Xifeng stopped talking nonsense.

He raised his hand and struck with a palm.

Immediately, he and the masked Senior began to fight in the small space.

The masked woman smiled softly at Cang Jiuzhou, signaling that he could also make a move.

Cang Jiuzhou thought about it and decided there was no need.

He felt that as long as the masked woman didn't take Yang Yi away, he wouldn't need to act.

He folded his arms and said with a smile, “My mission is to hold you back.”

“As long as you don't take Yang Yi away, I don't wish to be your enemy.”

The masked woman smiled and stood still.

Wang Xifeng, who was fiercely fighting the masked Senior nearby, heard Cang Jiuzhou's words and gnashed his teeth in anger, cursing Cang Jiuzhou fiercely.

This guy was truly insidious and cunning.

He would avoid exerting effort whenever possible.

He was supposed to hold back the opponent, but he didn't tell him to stand still.

If he had killed the masked woman and then come to help him, wouldn't they be able to quickly deal with these few people?

But he was good; he just stood there motionless, leaving everything to him.

His anger caused him to lose some rationality in the battle.

He wanted to kill the masked Senior with a single palm strike.

But every palm he struck was easily dodged by the other party.

He was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

This stalemate couldn't continue.

Who knew if Yang Yi had any other helpers?

He suddenly waved both palms, forcing the masked Senior back several meters.

Wang Xifeng shouted at the strong cultivators blocking both sides, “What are you still standing there for?”

“Kill them!”

The strong cultivators of Diancang immediately moved.

However, some of the strong cultivators were from Opening Heaven Gate and other forces.

This group of strong cultivators would not obey Wang Xifeng's orders.

Especially when Cang Jiuzhou had not ordered his own people to act, this group of people would be even less likely to move.

However, with the addition of dozens of strong cultivators from the Diancang Sect, Yang Yi and the masked woman were still on the defensive.

The masked woman's strength was considerable, but facing the siege of dozens of strong cultivators, she also found it difficult to resist.

Fortunately, Yang Yi was assisting from the side.

His Seven Injury Divine Sword was truly shocking.

As long as he raised it, it could scare many people into retreating, and no one dared to confront Yang Yi directly.

Because everyone knew that Yang Yi could kill a strong cultivator with a single sword strike.

They believed they were not as strong as those who had died and did not dare to resist him head-on.

This indeed relieved a lot of pressure.

However, this method was only effective once or twice.

If used too much, others would no longer be afraid, unless he could truly kill someone with a single sword.

But Yang Yi was currently severely injured.

Although his injuries had improved somewhat under the protection of the two strong cultivators, he could not use the Seven Injury Divine Sword many times.

If this continued, all three of them would inevitably die here.

Yang Yi was burning with anxiety.

Seeing that there was no hope of turning the tide, he said to the masked woman beside him, “It seems difficult to escape today.”

“You and Senior should leave quickly.”

“I’ll stay alone.”

“It’s better for one person to die than for all three of us to die.”

The masked woman forced back several strong cultivators who rushed over, then turned and sneered, “What kind of people do you take us for?”

“They have people helping them, don't we?”

“Just hold on a little longer.”

“Our reinforcements will arrive soon.”
