"Lei Qianshan, you will die a miserable death!"
"The Sect Leader will die a miserable death? When you betrayed the Dragon Gate, didnât you ever think this day would come!"
Suddenly, a person rushed over from the side, all four Meridian Gates fully opened; they turned Qi into a whip and lashed it onto Yi Jianâs body, leaving his skin torn and flesh lacerated.
But Yi Jian didnât care about this pain at all.
With bloodshot eyes staring straight at Lei Qianshan, those eyes, muddied by age, emitted an astonishing ferocity. If not bound, Yi Jian would certainly pounce like a hungry wolf and tear Lei Qianshan apart with his teeth.
However, Lei Qianshan instead displayed a very happy smile, like a needle piercing deeply into Yi Jianâs heart.
"Donât worry, you wonât be far behind your daughter. The five-day deadline is just three days away, so at most, youâll be three days late!"
"Lei Qianshan, if youâre brave, face me one-on-one!"
Yi Jian gritted his teeth and spat out the words one-on-one viciously.
But Lei Qianshan seemed as if he hadnât heard, and instead responded with a question, "Tell me, where is the real Jingzhao Building?"
"I wonât tell you even if I die!"
"Donât you care about your daughter?"
Bam!
Yi Jian suddenly struggled, tears of blood welling up in his eyes.
He wanted to kill Lei Qianshan!
To tear him to pieces!
Lei Qianshan stood immovably, and after a long time, said, "Since you wonât talk, then just remain stubborn. When I catch your daughter, it wonât be too late to talk then."
Having said that, Lei Qianshan glanced at the Dragon Gate Law Enforcer beside him and said, "No need to beat him anymore; heâs already mad!"
For the sake of a Jingzhao Building, he even disregards his own daughter.
If this isnât madness, what is?
"Sect Leader, what about us?" the Dragon Gate Law Enforcer asked.
Lei Qianshan responded, "Go and grab Yi Xuan; sheâs still in Jianshui City. Once sheâs caught, bring her here and slice her to pieces in front of him; I donât believe his heart is really that hard!"
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
The Dragon Gate Law Enforcer immediately took the order.
That night, Jianshui City was turned upside down; wherever Dragon Gate people went, they searched, issuing a high reward for Yi Xuan.
An accurate tip would earn ten thousand pieces of White Crystal.
And if someone could capture Yi Xuan, theyâd directly be granted the cultivation qualification for the Dragon Gate School Vein Skill.
The former was quite appealing to the Loose Cultivators.
The latter was particularly irresistible for them.
Thus, almost seventy percent of the people were looking for the whereabouts of Yi Xuan.
The remaining thirty percent were still grateful for what Senior Yi Jian had done, so they didnât get involved.
So went another day.
Five daysâ time, only two days left.
All the while, Yi Xuan had been hidden away at the inn by Ye Wuhuan, and seeing Ye Wuhuan intending to go out today unexpectedly, she quickly asked, "Senior, where are you going?"
Ye Wuhuan casually tossed over a Cyan Fruit covered with azure patterns and said, "Eat this, it can temporarily transform you into the Demon Race and release Demon Qi. Unless an Earth Unrestricted Expert uses Perception to check you, they wonât know your true appearance."
Yi Xuan nodded, picking up the Cyan Fruit and eating it.
After a few bites, the Vein Qi within her body shrank, replaced by a pure aura of Demon Qi emanating from within.
Once the Cyan Fruit was completely consumed, Yi Xuanâs face changed appearance, and her whole body grew considerably taller.
Even those very familiar with her wouldnât recognize Yi Xuan standing beside them now.
"Not bad."
Ye Wuhuan nodded approvingly and pushed open the door.
Holding a paper fan in hand, he shook it lightly as he left the inn.
Yi Xuan followed behind, seeing Ye Wuhuan heading straight out of the city, she couldnât help but ask, "Senior, where are we going?"
"To buy a newspaper."
Ye Wuhuan responded blandly.
Yi Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly sped up to keep pace with Ye Wuhuan.
Soon, she saw a shop that suddenly opened, selling the Immortal Daily.
"The second issue of the Immortal Daily is out!"
"I thought they wouldnât release the second issue since Senior Yi Jian was captured!"
People emerging from the shop happily held up copies of the Immortal Daily and quickly left, like mice avoiding cats, fearful of Dragon Gateâs sudden arrival.
Yi Xuan glanced up at Senior Ye Wuhuan and saw his smug expression, gradually understanding the reason.
This was Senior Ye Wuhuanâs doing!
But why was Senior Ye Wuhuan doing this?
Itâs currently a very tense time.
Seeing Yi Xuanâs bewilderment, Ye Wuhuan went over, picked up a newspaper, handed it to Yi Xuan, then placed down a Gold Ticket.
"Take a look."
Ye Wuhuan pointed his paper fan at the most eye-catching part in the middle of the Immortal Daily.
Youli Year 1347, July 25.
In Star Sword Mountainâs 14 cities, a total of 72 five-star influences allied to crusade against the Immortal Sect, with nearly eighty Earth Unrestricted Experts gathered. However, the night before the expedition, news of the assassination of the Red Leaf Sectâs Vice Sect Leader spread, scaring off more than half of the five-star influences that day. The remaining 34 Earth Unrestricted Experts, oblivious, chose to proceed with the attack on the Immortal Sect.
In front of tens of thousands of witnesses, a Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm expertâSword Demonâappeared in the Immortal Sect. Fifteen minutes later, out of the 34 Earth Unrestricted Experts, only 17 survived. These 17 are currently held prisoner in the Immortal Sect, involved in tree cultivation and transformation, required to pay a massive sum of 400,000 White Crystals to leave alive.
Thus, the Immortal Sect cemented its overlord status in Star Sword Mountain, with all 14 citiesâ forces no longer daring to confront the Immortal Sect directly.
Seeing this, Yi Xuan hesitated a moment.
She looked at Ye Wuhuan, then at the newspaper again.
Ye Wuhuan smiled and said, "This is the power behind the Jingzhao Building, so a mere Dragon Gate or a Remote Corner canât block the Jingzhao Buildingâs plans. The Immortal Daily will one day appear throughout the Red Domain, allowing everyone to learn about the world without stepping out of their home. What your father hoped to see will never be destroyed."
"Senior, will the Jingzhao Building send Senior Sword Demon?" Yi Xuan looked at Ye Wuhuan eagerly, like a student thirsting for knowledge.
However, Ye Wuhuan shook his head.
"No."
"Then father..."
Yi Xuan suddenly felt a bit disappointed.
Ye Wuhuan calmly replied, "Theyâre sending someone else, but as far as I know, also an Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm presence."
Yi Xuanâs initially dimmed eyes suddenly became extraordinarily bright, as if in an instant, she saw hope, the light in the darkness.
Ye Wuhuan, seeing this, smiled helplessly and said, "Next, itâll be Dragon Gate and Remote Corner who tremble, as the Immortal Sectâs target was never them, yet they insist on standing in the way of the Immortal Sectâs progressâutterly ridiculous!"
With that, Ye Wuhuan took out a suddenly active Sound Transmission Stone.
From the Transmission Stone came two words.
"Arrival!"
Ye Wuhuan immediately signaled everyone in the shop with a look, and they all left one by one.
Moments later, Dragon Gateâs enforcers arrived.
The shop was set ablaze and burned completely.
But moments later, "snow" suddenly began to fall on the streets of Jianshui City, with sheets of the Immortal Daily fluttering around.
