201: Chapter 201 Forbidden Technique Backlash

Just as everyone had emerged from the Trial Pagoda, the Small World housing the Sages Grotto-Heaven began to tremble.

It was clear that the Incarnation formed by Great Sage Zhenhai's will was on the verge of dissipating.

Before anyone could understand what was happening, everyone inside the Immortal Cave was teleported to the valley where they had first entered.

Soon after, the Small World containing Great Sage Zhenhai's Immortal Cave began to crumble and, moments later, vanished completely.

Although Great Sage Zhenhai never achieved the rank of Emperor in his lifetime, he was still a figure worthy of immense respect and admiration, truly a heroic and tragic tale!

Seeing that the Sages Grotto-Heaven had collapsed, the various Sects and factions began to disperse.

Meanwhile, the Disciples from Schools without strong senior leaders and the small groups of Loose Cultivators had long been marked by those with ill intentions lurking in the shadows.

"Brother Tie, let us depart as well!"

Seeing Tie Yueshan beside him staring silently at the spot where Great Sage Zhenhai's Immortal Cave had vanished, Yun Chenfei patted his shoulder and spoke.

"Alright!"

Hearing this, Tie Yueshan sighed and then responded.

"Ugh!"

A sudden wave of weakness assaulted him, catching the unprepared Yun Chenfei off guard and causing him to drop to his knees.

"Brother Yun!"

"Are you alright?"

Seeing this, Tie Yueshan hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"It's nothing. It's probably the recoil from using a secret art while challenging the pagoda earlier,"

Yun Chenfei said weakly, his face pale.

As the recoil from the Extreme Limit of Freedom Skill took hold, the appearance Yun Chenfei had altered using bone-shrinking techniques reverted to its original form.

"Brother Yun, you..."

Upon seeing Yun Chenfei's refined and handsome features, Tie Yueshan was momentarily stunned.

Thanks to Great Sage Zhenhai's guidance, Yun Chenfei's use of the Bloodline Forbidden Art, the Extreme Limit of Freedom Skill, did not render him unconscious like last time, but he still fell into a period of weakness.

Fortunately, there was Tie Yueshan, this loyal and rough-edged man, constantly guarding him by his side.

Otherwise, forget about those with ill intentions seeking to kill and plunder treasures; even the Yao Beasts of the Black Cloud Mountain Range could easily overpower the weakened Yun Chenfei.

This truly reflected that old saying: Chivalry is often found among butchers, while betrayal frequently comes from scholars.

"Brother Yun, you've kept this from me so bitterly!"

"I always thought you were like me, a rough, burly fellow. I never imagined you to be so exceptionally handsome."

Upon seeing Yun Chenfei's true appearance, Tie Yueshan immediately changed his form of address.

Several pairs of eyes in the shadows gazed greedily at Yun Chenfei and Tie Yueshan.

"Brother Tie, broaden your perspective. Don't dwell on such minor details,"

Yun Chenfei said casually, casting a cold glance around.

At this moment, Tie Yueshan also sensed that they had been targeted.

Since Yun Chenfei had lost his cultivation and couldn't use a Storage Pouch, the bulging pack on his back made it difficult not to draw attention.

Especially the Silver-Edged Immortal-Slaying Sword hanging at Yun Chenfei's waist, which shimmered with a fluorescent glow. It was clearly no ordinary object, making it an object of great envy.

At the same time...

"Little Sister Qingying, are you really not coming with us?"

Jing Sheng asked, looking at Yan Qingying, who was riding on the Little White Tiger and seemed reluctant to dismount.

"Sister Jing Sheng, I still need to find my Brother Wuqi, so I won't be going with you,"

Yan Qingying said softly, gently stroking the Little White Tiger's fluffy head.

"The Saint has always been as elusive as a Dragon, appearing and disappearing. He's not so easy to find."

"It's better to come with us, so we can look out for each other."

Jing Sheng urged with concern.

"Didn't you say he's not at the Sect either? What if he's nearby?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Qingying hopped down from the Little White Tiger's back.

The Little White Tiger affectionately licked Yan Qingying's hand, seemingly reluctant to part with her.

With a flip of her small hand, Yan Qingying dropped a sixth-tier elixir neatly into the Little White Tiger's mouth.

Upon receiving the elixir, the Little White Tiger licked even more enthusiastically and kept rubbing its fluffy head against Yan Qingying's body.

"Such a bootlicker! All it cares about is food!"

Witnessing the Little White Tiger's behavior, Jing Sheng couldn't help but Make complaints.

"Jing Sheng, your Little White has never been this affectionate with you!"

Seeing this, Mu Chenfeng and the others couldn't help but laugh.

Afterward, Yan Qingying waved goodbye to Jing Sheng and her group.

...

Tie Yueshan, leading Yun Chenfei, hadn't gone far before three Black-clothed figures surrounded them.

"Where might you two Fellow Daoists be heading?"

"How about letting us, the Three Sages of Plum Mountain, escort you on your way?"

The Man in Black who stood firmly at the forefront among the three spoke.

"Two at the Eighth Grade Spirit Refining Realm and one at the Ninth Grade Spirit Refining Realm, yet you dare to presumptuously call yourselves Three Sages?"

Sensing the auras of the three, Tie Yueshan said coldly.

"Brother Yun, this is a flight Talisman. It doesn't require mana; just stick it on your body to use it directly."

"I'll hold them off in a moment. You seize the chance to escape quickly."

Secretly slipping a yellow Talisman to Yun Chenfei, Tie Yueshan transmitted his voice.

"Brother Tie, didn't I tell you to broaden your perspective?"

"They're just three pieces of rotten fish and shrimp..."

Glancing at Tie Yueshan standing before him, Yun Chenfei's lips curved into a slight smile.

"Seeking death!"

"Originally, I planned to finish you off with one strike, letting you die peacefully."

"But now... hmph, I'll chop you into pieces and feed you to the fish!"

Hearing this, the leading Man in Black said angrily.

"S-second brother, wh-what if there aren't any fish here?"

At this moment, a Black-clothed figure to his left stammered.

"Big brother, third brother is right. This is a desolate mountain area; there really can't be any fish."

After looking around, the Black-clothed figure on the right spoke.

"..."

"No fish? Then chop them up and feed them to the dogs!"

The leading Man in Black roared, flying into a rage.

Clearly, apart from the leader, the other two brothers seemed a bit slow-witted.

"Is this all you've got?"

"And you dare to come out and imitate others in killing and plundering?"

Hearing this, Tie Yueshan said with a face full of disdain.

"Attack!"

At the command of the leading Man in Black, the other two Black-clothed figures charged directly at Yun Chenfei and Tie Yueshan.

Seeing this, to avoid accidentally injuring Yun Chenfei behind him, Tie Yueshan hurriedly stepped forward to intercept the two.

Although Tie Yueshan was only at the Eighth Grade Spirit Refining Realm, he was the descendant of Great Sage Zhenhai's old friend. Great Sage Zhenhai had passed on his entire legacy to him.

Compared to his former self, the current Tie Yueshan was naturally on a completely different level.

While not necessarily capable of fighting above his grade, dealing with two opponents of the same realm should not be a problem.

As soon as the three made contact, Tie Yueshan went all out, launching fierce attacks wave after wave.

He immediately threw the two Black-clothed figures into disarray, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.

"You big black lump, though you don't look like much, your strength isn't weak."

"Second brother, third brother, execute the coordinated Formation! End this quickly!"

Seeing that the two had fallen into a disadvantage from the very first encounter, the leading Man in Black said coldly.
