Chapter 1 "Yuan Yang Dao Ren!!!"

"You deceived us! You deceived us!"

"Regretfully, we listened to your words, hate!"

Qingqiu Qianqian stood blankly, hearing the extremely angry howls from the distant horizon, and the earth-shattering sounds of explosions.

The several figures being suppressed were struggling with all their might.

The power of their blood and divine strength chilled Qingqiu Qianqian to the bone: "Experts at the level of, of shattering the vacuum?"

In this day and age, whether in the Nine Provinces and Four Seas or the endless starry sky, experts who could shatter the vacuum were all heroes, masters of sects and holy lands.

Such powerful figures were actually being suppressed between his fingers, with no escape?!

Were those figures all experts who could shatter the vacuum?

Rumble!

Beneath the five towering mountains, smoke billowed like dragons ascending to the heavens, and ripples spread in layers, filling the sky and the earth, terrifying to the extreme.

"A spiritual treasure, the aura of a king-sealing spiritual treasure..."

Though separated by an unknown distance, Qingqiu Qianqian's dark hair was blown back, and her face trembled slightly.

This surging aura was enough to tear apart steel and grind mountains into dust.

But within this world, nothing was damaged.

Experts who could shatter the vacuum and wielded king-sealing spiritual treasures were already invincible in the world today. This Daoist was actually suppressing even them?

Qingqiu Qianqian was dumbfounded.

Before coming to Dongzhou, she had gathered intelligence. Although the Yuan Yang Dao Ren was powerful, he shouldn't have been this powerful, right?

This, even a Marquis-level expert couldn't do this.

What exactly had happened in these past few years?

Boom!

The aura soared to the sky, and Feng Qingcang's hair stood on end, dancing wildly like a lion, roaring to the sky: "Yuan Yang Dao Ren, do you dare to release me for a battle?!"

The divine light around him boiled, but it couldn't conceal the huge injuries on his body. Blood almost dyed him red, and it was clear that breaking free had come at a great cost.

"Even now, you still don't understand?"

His eyes, like the sun and moon hanging in the sky, were indifferent and calm, like an endless sea of stars without any ripples: "From beginning to end, you were never my enemies."

The Ten Great Sect Leaders of Dongzhou controlled the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of nations, and the life and death of hundreds of millions of people were in their hands. They held high positions and wielded great power.

But influence was not strength.

Once a powerful sect lost external blood, it would inevitably fall into silence. The more closed off it became, the more backward it would be.

And a closed system without external interference would eventually descend into chaos. This, in a sense, was also a manifestation of 'entropy'.

Even a universe without external intervention would be destroyed, let alone a mere sect?

The Ten Great Sect Leaders were indeed heroes among men, but a single sect had only ten thousand cultivators, and even the Wanfa Tower had only a few million at most.

The reason why the Wanfa Tower faintly rivaled the Taiyi Gate as the number one sect below the holy land was also due to its wide-open gates.

But even selecting one out of a million cultivators, how could they compare to the founders of each sect who had fought their way out in the past, in the competition among the myriad races of the entire universe?

Therefore, Emperor Tianding regarded them as corpse-keepers.

And An Qisheng had never regarded these people as true opponents.

"Too much!"

Feng Qingcang's eyes were about to split, and the meaning in An Qisheng's words deeply pierced his heart. The anger suppressed for many days finally erupted completely.

This eruption burned all of his blood, and the vast divine light intertwined, turning into a distinct, powerful fist print.

Dragging scorching currents of fire, it was like a rainbow piercing the sun, striking between the eyes that resembled the sun and moon floating in the sky.

Bang!

What responded to him was a sound like an ancient star reaching the end of its life and suddenly disintegrating.

Crack~

The sound of his knuckles echoed like muffled thunder, and the momentum was overwhelming.

Qingqiu Qianqian retreated in a panic, and at the same time, looked up to see one of the five mountain peaks that stood like pillars of heaven.

Suddenly, it collapsed.

Sweeping away tens of thousands of acres of dust, the terrifying aura that overturned mountains and seas instantly filled the world.

Boom!

The giant peak collapsed, as if blotting out the sky and the sun.

"Ah!"

Feng Qingcang's veins bulged, and seeing this familiar scene reappear, his blood almost broke free from his chest, regaining its freedom.

But no matter how angry or unwilling he was, at the moment the giant peak pressed down, he still fell from the sky like a shooting star.

Stirring up even more dust.

"This..."

Watching this scene, which was easier than an old man beating his son, Qingqiu Qianqian's eyelids twitched wildly.

When the earth-shaking tremors subsided and the billowing dust settled, she focused her gaze.

In the swirling dust, six figures, their faces covered in dirt but unable to conceal their powerful auras, sat in a row like students being scolded by their teacher for making mistakes.

"That person, that person, is the Taiyi Gate Leader?!"

At a glance, Qingqiu Qianqian's pupils suddenly shrank, and a huge wave surged in her heart.

Wasn't that old Daoist the old man who had sought medicine from her on Mount Qingqiu hundreds of years ago?

What was the status of the Taiyi Gate?

When the three holy lands of Dongzhou were out of touch with worldly affairs, the Taiyi Gate was the sky of Dongzhou. Its leader was one of the top five figures in the entire Dongzhou.

Such an old monster who had lived for nearly three thousand years was also suppressed?

"Yuan Yang!"

Feng Qingcang struggled desperately and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned as pale as paper.

"Forget it, forget it."

Looking at the embarrassed figures of Feng Qingcang and others, the Taiyi Gate Leader suddenly sighed, raised his eyebrows, and stared at the high sky, at the huge face whose full appearance could not be seen:

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Yang, we have lost!"

Regardless of whether there was still unwillingness in their hearts, they had ultimately lost.

There was a world between his fingers. After several struggles, he was ultimately unable to escape. Feng Qingcang couldn't, Zhao Hongmeng couldn't, and naturally, neither could he.

"I am not convinced!"

Feng Qingcang's eyes were red, but he still struggled: "A dignified Marquis-level expert, using deception to defeat us. Even if you kill me ten times, I will still not be convinced!"

Now, how could he not know that the Yuan Yang Dao Ren must have cultivated a palm technique?

This divine power was extremely powerful. Entering it was almost equivalent to trapping oneself in prison. They couldn't use even thirty percent of their strength. Even with king-sealing spiritual treasures, they were simply unable to tear apart the void here.

Because in his palm world, the void was layered upon layer, circulating endlessly, in countless ways. There was also an invisible force twisting their perception.

Even if they were ten times stronger, they would simply be unable to tear apart the space here. Even if they had heaven-defying escape techniques, they would simply be unable to fly out of this Five Fingers Mountain.

"You are not convinced?"

An Qisheng stared at Feng Qingcang, his voice calm, without any change: "So what?"

"You!"

A flush appeared on Feng Qingcang's face, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Today's humiliation, we will never forget."

The Li Luan Pavilion Leader deeply stared at the sky. Her picturesque face was stained with dirt. Although she was a little embarrassed, she refused to lower her head:

"In this world, the strong are respected! But there is no constant strength in the world. One day, you will also taste the feelings we have today!"

She spoke, her voice word by word, like chanting, but in reality, it was a curse.

Buzz~

Ripples rippled in the void, and the shadow of a black scroll flashed and disappeared.

The Li Luan Pavilion Leader was struck by lightning, and with a single opening of her mouth, she also spat out a mouthful of blood: "Those wastes from the Extinction Path, failing to kill someone and even losing their own treasure!"

She was very angry!

Among the Ten Great Sects of Dongzhou, the Li Luan Pavilion and the Extinction Path were the most proficient in curse techniques, but the Extinction Path's Three Seven Destruction Talisman was the strongest curse treasure in Dongzhou.

With this treasure, no matter how she cursed, she would suffer a backlash.

"Being weaker than others, so this is how uncomfortable it is..."

The Vacuum Path Leader was an unremarkable middle-aged man, who was now as embarrassed as the others, but at this time, he seemed very calm.

Muttering to himself, he sighed: "Fellow Daoist has heavenly talent and is expected to seal a king and compete for the supreme position. He would not humiliate us for no reason.

This move is to stand up for the countries within our borders..."

Suppressing them, neither killing nor releasing them, only letting them struggle and counterattack again and again, and then suppressing them again and again with thunder.

This was clearly to make them feel the pain of being weaker than others.

"People's joys and sorrows are not the same..."

An Qisheng's eyes were calm, reflecting the six great leaders, without any waves: "A single suppression is not enough to change anything..."

Heaven is high and hard to question, unchanging since ancient times, but the human heart is humble and changes endlessly.

No one can truly understand the sky, and naturally, no one can grasp the human heart. An Qisheng understood this very well and did not think that a few short days could change anything.

Compared to sudden repentance, he believed more in gradual influence.

Therefore, An Qisheng did not say anything else, but only spoke of the gambling game:

"Since you admit defeat, then the three things you promised me must be done."

Must.......

Zhao Hongmeng and the others were somewhat unwilling, but they still remained silent.

They were not people who could not afford to lose, and they did not care about whether or not they were trustworthy, but facing this Yuan Yang Dao Ren, they could not help but be trustworthy.

Not to mention that they were now at his mercy, even if they left this place, who had the confidence to resist this Yuan Yang Dao Ren?

Those dying old monsters in the holy land?

"This is natural." It was still the Taiyi Gate Leader who spoke, agreeing.

"We have lost. If there is anything, Fellow Daoist, please instruct us."

Zhao Hongmeng coughed lightly. His already white hair was now completely white. His expression was withered, as if all his essence had been taken away.

In fact, among the six people present, he was the most seriously injured.

"This matter will not be discussed for the time being."

An Qisheng did not say it clearly, but only glanced at the six of them deeply, and then turned back.

He looked at Qingqiu Qianqian, whose face was pale and whose delicate body was trembling:

"Still running?"

The latter shook her head blankly, her smile extremely bitter: "No, I won't run anymore... I am weaker than you, little girl is at your disposal..."

How could she run?

Even the Taiyi Gate Leader and other experts who could shatter the vacuum were suppressed and unable to escape this Five Fingers Mountain. She was far inferior to them.

How could she escape? How could she run away?

Whoosh~

The sound waves in her ears were like water.

"Ah~~~"

Qingqiu Qianqian let out a heartbreaking wail, and the servants waiting outside the door, Sun Zhengyi and others, felt their hearts swaying.

"Daoist?"

Sun Zhengyi couldn't help but push open the door, but where was his 'daughter-in-law'?

He only saw a beautiful woman in a green dress lying on the bed, covered in fragrant sweat, letting out bursts of panting that made people's hearts ache.

This was?

Sun Zhengyi was stunned.
