Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 2401 - 203: Salty Submission

The Black Water surged, the tides rose and fell.

The splashed ’water waves’ scattered the misty Chaos Origin Substance in the distance, revealing the figures hidden in the void one by one.

Yet everyone stood dazed and absent-minded, watching the tranquil figure in blue robes standing in the Black Water, their hearts tumultuous like the surging waves, each wave stronger than the last.

Fan Fenglei stood in front of the Spirit Origin Prefecture’s temporary imperial palace and the group of Cultivators from the Spirit Origin Prefecture, slightly raising his head.

The Black Water Dao Domain and the sword-light collapsed together, the arising wind and waves blew through his white hair, yet could not penetrate the silent shock in his heart. His slightly pale face and the disheveled wet white hair intertwined to reveal a trace of embarrassment and powerless desolation.

Mumbling softly, as if in confusion, as if unwilling to believe:

"How is this possible... how is this possible..."

Above the Black Water.

Wang Ba’s face was calm and undisturbed, not even retreating a fraction. His gaze passed over the collapsing Black Water Dao Domain and looked at Fan Fenglei, speaking loudly:

"Lord Fan, there is still one more sword."

Though his voice was not loud, none of the surrounding Cultivators dared to miss a single word, so they all heard it clearly.

Yin Tianzhi looked at Wang Ba standing with hands behind his back on the water’s surface, opened his mouth, but ultimately did not urge him to stop.

At that moment, he finally realized a reality he had overlooked.

More than three hundred years ago, when the Taiyi Tributor first entered the Crossing Tribulation stage, he could sweep through the same level and even dared to draw his sword against the fake Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace. Although only a mere three hundred years have passed, for them, this time is but a fleeting moment, but how could a person like a true dragon be judged by common sense?

"Yet even so, this is still too..."

In his heart, he hesitated, for a moment not knowing how to verbalize the sense of shock these exaggerations caused.

It’s like someone who spent years learning to read and then watched someone who just learned to write an epic shortly after birth.

Amidst astonishment, it felt more like a surreal daze.

And the surrounding onlookers now only had the word ’frightening’ in their hearts.

Amazed that the True Man Taiyi stood still and casually caught Fan Fenglei’s utmost two swords, terrified of what purpose such a being had in standing on the Yin Family’s side.

The Illusion Sky Realm’s Realm Master Sangkong, a young woman, watched Wang Ba’s majesty with her beautiful eyes shining with brilliance.

Figures like the Lord of the Golden Water Pond, the Yutang Mansion Master, and others all showed a solemn and wary gaze.

Cheng Lianzi of the Laowen Sect was more gravely pensive, unsure of what to make of it, focusing his gaze solely on Wang Ba, ignoring Yin Tianzhi entirely:

"How can the Yin Family’s Tributor possess such skill?"

"Wasn’t it said that he only just entered the Tribulation-Transcending Realm and relied on a top Dao Treasure?"

But from the current situation, the other side clearly did not use any Dao Treasure, opposing purely with rules.

At this moment, he realized the situation was entirely different from what he initially thought.

He even inadvertently thought of a possibility that sent chills down his spine.

"Taiyi... could he truly be that one from the Cloud Sky Realm? Wasn’t he hunted down and fell by the Northern Great Bodhisattva?"

"How could someone like that support the Yin Family?"

"Surely not?"

In his heart, amidst doubts, he listened to Wang Ba’s words in front of the Spirit Origin Prefecture’s temporary imperial palace. The complicated look in Fan Fenglei’s eyes became more evident, yet he still raised his two fingers, the rules fluctuating, with the collapsed Black Water Dao Domain converging like water, surging non-stop, quickly transforming into sword awns, seeming to brew infinite power.

The surrounding Cultivators sensed the power within and all showed slightly solemn expressions.

As it seemed this strike would unfurl, certain to shock the heavens and earth, Fan Fenglei suddenly sighed. The sword-light, formed from the Black Water Dao Domain, trembled slightly, then let out what seemed a reluctant mournful cry before scattering with a clang.

Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Fan Fenglei slowly withdrew his sword fingers, lowered his brows, and closed his eyes. At that moment, he seemed to have aged significantly, shaking his head and whispering:

"The third sword need not be unleashed."

"Taoist Friend Taiyi has the demeanor of a gentleman, and Spirit Origin Prefecture is not without shame."

"After today, the grievances between Spirit Origin Prefecture and Taoist Friend shall be written off." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

His voice was filled with loneliness, desolation, reluctance, and sighs.

Upon hearing these words, the surrounding Cultivators were not very surprised, but seeing Fan Fenglei’s desolate expression, many couldn’t help but feel a sense of empathy.

Anyone discerning could see that the two swords before were Fan Fenglei’s best techniques, yet they hadn’t affected True Man Taiyi in the slightest, indicating that the two were entirely not on the same level. Even if a third sword were struck, it wouldn’t change any result.

Rather than saying Fan Fenglei voluntarily gave up, it could be said he had to voluntarily give up, at least maintaining some dignity.

Fan Fenglei’s strength, within the ten major forces now in Zhang’s Ruins, might not be top-tier, but still mid-tier. The two swords before, though perhaps not effective in magical combat, held power even Cheng Lianzi dared not face directly, yet were of no avail against this True Man Taiyi. Consequently, it’s feared no one else from the other families could contend against him either.

Realizing this, not a single heart among the assembled Cultivators remained calm.

"The overall strength of the Yin Family in Zhang’s Ruins is considered above average, and adding this True Man Taiyi... who else in Zhang’s Ruins could rival them?"

Silently, Cheng Lianzi and the others exchanged glances, all seeing in each other’s eyes a deep dread, and a subtle chill...
