        Guang Chengzi looked rather strange, for when he was preparing to calculate for the third time, he actually saw Yin Jiao's soul.

    Not divine insight, nor anything mysterious about a thousand miles of sight, but a soul that had a master-student bond with oneself just hovered right in front of me.

    As a famous figure on the List of Deified, after Yin Jiao's death, the underworld had no authority to detain him. Naturally, he had to be included on the List of Deified. Now that the List is in the hands of Yuan Shici Tianzun, he had drifted all the way from Chaohe City in a daze.

    As Guang Chengzi is the first among the twelve gold immortals of the Explanation Cult, he naturally has means. He quickly took out a gourd and enclosed Yin Jiao's soul inside.

    He immediately turned to Cijuezi and said, "Little brother, you have also seen that this Yin Dynasty prince has a master-student relationship with the senior brother, who unexpectedly died in an accident. I intend to save this child and I would appreciate it if little brother could lend me the yin and yang mirror."

    The Heavenly Precious Yin-Yang Mirror is a divine treasure with its yin side being white and its white light can kill people. On the yang side, it is red, and its red light can revive people. This mirror was originally given by Yuan Shici Tianzun to Chijuezi when he was distributing treasures from the Banquet Rock in the Purple Azure Palace. Later, it was given to Chijuezi as a protective treasure for his cultivation path.

    Chijuezi, on his side, looked equally worried. He took out the yin and yang mirror and handed it to Guang Chengzi: "I'm not hiding anything from Master Brother. I seem to have a bit of trouble on my hands here as well. I'm afraid I'll have to fight against the Severing Sect in a battle. I would appreciate it if Master Brother could lend me the Ban Tian Indent."

    The brothers exchanged their spiritual treasures.

    Guang Chengzi didn't waste any time and immediately set off for Chaohua City. After searching for a while, he found Yin Jiao's dismembered body.

    The second strong wind swept through Chaohua City today. When the soldiers opened their eyes again, they found that Yin Jiao's body was missing.

    Guang Chengzi brought the body outside the city, first reattaching the head, then using the yin-yang mirror to restore the soul to the body.

    Looking at Yin Jiao, whose neck had deep bloodstains, he secretly sighed.

    Yin Jiao, who was saved by him, indeed came back to life. However, after dying once, many things had changed.

    Fortune, wisdom, talent, foundation, and opportunities are all sudden descents. For Taoism, life and death are common phenomena. Even those who are close to perfection will perish. A normal person only has one life. Once dead and then alive, that's going against nature. You have already gone against nature; what more do you want in terms of good treatment?

    Guang Chengzi was originally not worried about Yin Jiao's talent. Now he needed to question it with a big mark. He didn't know if this disciple could smoothly enter the Dao, and if he could replace him to ward off disasters.

    It just so happens that he only has a master-disciple bond with Yin Jiao. Unless, like the Western teaching, he keeps saying things like "This thing is connected to me" or "This person has a connection with me," but as the first among the twelve Golden Immortals of the Explanation Cult, his pride does not allow him to do such a thing.

    Guang Chengzi brought the unconscious Yin Jiao back to the mountain.

    On the other side.

    Another side, Zhao Shengzi found Wen Zhong here in the Yin Dynasty's camp. He found him nearly at the same time as Deng Changyu.

    Knowing that Wen Zhong was a serious disciple of the Severing Sect in its third generation, Zhao Shengzi, who was a second-generation uncle, was still polite and didn't show off the status of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Explanation Cult: "Holy friend, this child has a master-student relationship with the poor one. I would appreciate it if you could let me take him back to the mountain for cultivation."

    Wen Zhong: "???"

    The old master is currently in a state of confusion. Deng Changyu rushed over and left the person with him and left quickly. He was just calming down the emotionally agitated Yin Hong when Zhao Shengzi arrived.

    Are you both alright?

    Yin Hong is practically paralyzed with fear at this moment. At the age of fourteen, he was still chasing cats and dogs in the morning, only to have his mother die at noon. After that, his older brother's head was chopped off right in front of him. In a daze, when his mother and elder brother were calling him from the banks of the Yellow Spring River, he was saved by a very beautiful female cultivator. The joy of becoming the sole heir of the Yin Dynasty had not lasted even a meal's time before he was sent here like a piece of merchandise.

    The experiences of the past half day are more stimulating than his entire life of the past fourteen years.

    Wen Zhong reached out to signal him to relax, and he himself, this three-generation prime minister, will definitely protect you.

    The old master angrily scolded, "Zhao Shengzi, you are an elder of the Explanation Cult and have been cultivating for many years. I respect you three times, but you cannot speak impulsively! Yin Hong is the legitimate heir of the Yin Dynasty and will one day inherit this vast land. How can he return to your mountain to practice cultivation with you?"

    If Yin Jiao were still alive, Zhao Shengzi would certainly object to taking Yin Hong to cultivate, but he would not oppose so vigorously.

    Now there's only one scion left, and if you take him away, isn't the state of the Yin Dynasty finished?

    Yin Hong is not just an individual, but he represents the foundation of the Yin Dynasty.

    Do you want to take the foundation of the Yin Dynasty away to cultivate, are you trying to completely destroy the dynasty?

    The previous advice from Jin Ling Shengmu was undoubtedly weighty. Before Deng Changyu dropped the hot potato, Wen Zhong had already hesitated between the destiny of the Yin Dynasty and his own path of cultivation.

    Some unfavorable words about him began to spread in Chaohua City, further hurting the old master's heart.

    He always understood the principle that "heavenly order is constant and does not exist because of Yao, nor does it disappear because of Jie". But he always remembered the great favor that Emperor Yi had shown him, and that's why he worked diligently for the east and west conquests of the Yin Dynasty. Now, when looking back on past events, he felt that he had fulfilled his mission in his mortal experiences. He should return to the mountain to cultivate his Dao.

    He wanted to completely resolve the current predicament of the Yin Dynasty, allowing it to maintain its rule for another two or three hundred years. After that, he would return to the mountain to cultivate.

    The plan was good, but the arrival of Yin Hong once again dispelled his desire to cultivate. The Yin Dynasty is currently in a state of chaos, and he cannot leave.

    King Zhou might still be able to have children, and the princes like Bi Qin, Wei Zi, and Ji Zi are also around. But Yin Hong is the only legitimate heir now. Wen Zhong would rather die himself than hand over this only scion.

    Zhao Shengzi tried to persuade him with more words about the path of cultivation and heavenly will, but Wen Zhong completely ignored them.

    Zhao Shengzi got a bit angry: "I am trying to help you, but you are so stubborn. Alright, I'll tell you straight, I may have to bully you today!"

    He made a threatening gesture, preparing to forcefully take Yin Hong.

    When Wen Zhong was at the Juelong Ridge, he had said, "I began my cultivation and became a student of Jin Ling Shengmu in the Biyou Palace fifty years ago."

    His cultivation is not low, and he has few equals in the human world. However, he is far inferior to the twelve golden immortals of the Explanation Cult.

    "All the generals, listen to the command, and help the old man hold back that Daoist! Jixi and Yuqing, guard the camp, do not attack until I return!"

    He quickly made the arrangements and then grabbed Yin Hong, riding his black qilin and charging out of the camp.

    The four demon generals respected Wen Taijun and all four of them activated their magic treasures at the same time.

    The Qingyun Sword, Hundred Elements Umbrella, and Bijade Pipa were all unable to stop Zhao Shengzi, but they did buy a few breaths of time. By the time they went to find him again, Wen Zhong had already rushed into the East Sea.

    Wen Zhong, riding the black qilin, was galloping ahead at full speed, and the trouble Zhao Shengzi was in was unimaginable.

    With a slight hesitation, although the East Sea was the territory of the Severing Sect, he really needed Yin Hong as his disciple, as it concerned his own path. He could not let it go and immediately chased after him.

    Wen Zhong entered the East Sea and immediately went to find his elder brother Yu Yuan.
