Chapter 453: Reliant on One’s Seniority

The elderly, weak, women, and children from the two villages are currently hiding in the valley, with fearful expressions, watching the battlefield outside the valley.

After nearly half an hour had passed, Xiao Yun, who had been sitting cross-legged in the formation all along, suddenly opened his mouth, spat out blood, and collapsed on his back.

They saw the light enveloping the Tao Entering Realm cultivator on the formation dissipate after a violent shake.

Xiao Yun had old illnesses and his cultivation had not progressed but declined over the years.

Now, after persistently maintaining the formation for so long, Xiao Yun was no longer able to continue, finally allowing the Tao Entering Realm cultivator to break free!

This was a thin old woman, with wrinkles all over her face, but her small eyes revealed a fierce light.

After scanning the surroundings, her gaze fell on Xiao Yun’s face, and she coldly smiled, saying, "Xiao Yun, I tried to persuade you to surrender with kind words before, but you refused. Today is the day your whole clan will be destroyed!"

Xiao Yun struggled to sit up from the ground, not even bothering to wipe the blood from his mouth, and stared at the old woman, saying, "Becoming your village’s slave is not submission at all!"

"Let me tell you, even if my village is destroyed today, even if you search my soul, you will never uncover our family’s secrets!"

"Hehe!" The old woman grinned strangely and said, "Who said I wanted to search your soul? Don’t worry, we have ways to get your secrets!"

The old woman suddenly raised her voice and exclaimed, "Alright, my little soldiers, put more effort into it, quickly destroy Xiao Village! Remember to take their heads as trophies, and there will be rewards for your achievements when you return!"

After saying that, the old woman ignored Xiao Yun completely, showing a sinister smile, then vanished from the spot.

"Yes!"

As soon as the old woman broke free from captivity, the people from the two villages felt their morale rise.

Especially the last sentence about rewards boosted their spirits even more, driving them to wildly charge towards the people of Xiao Village and Li Village.

With the advantage on their side, they attacked like fierce tigers descending a mountain, making it extremely difficult for the people of Xiao Village and Li Village to resist, causing them to fall one after another with cries of pain.

Relying on speed and its icy aura, a creature named Little Fu, who was one of the five powerful Sky Reaching cultivators, felt a sudden chill creeping over its body. Without hesitation, it turned into a dark light and swiftly dashed towards a certain direction.

Although it reacted quickly, unfortunately, behind it, an old woman’s figure had already emerged, and she shot out a powerful Spirit Qi with a wave of her hand.

The spirit qi transformed into a willow branch in the air, continuously extending at lightning speed. In a blink of an eye, it caught up with Little Fu and entwined around its body.

Following that, the old woman continuously emitted spirit qi from her hand, and the willow branches kept wrapping around Little Fu’s body. In a short moment, it was completely bound, unable to move.

Little Fu, as a rare demon beast in the Sky Reaching Realm, was a highly uncommon existence in the Ancient Grand Desolate World without any monsters. Therefore, the old woman naturally wouldn’t let it go.

Seeing Little Fu caught, the other four demon beasts became instantly anxious.

But they were also helpless, unable to split their attention, while the old woman, with greedy eyes, had already set her sights on them.

"Haha, I wonder where you managed to find so many super beasts. This time, they all belong to my Mu village. This trip wasn’t for nothing!"

While laughing heartily, the old woman raised her hand again, and numerous willow branches shot out, wrapping up all four demon beasts as well.

Losing help from five demon beasts, the situation in the villages of Xiao and Li got even worse. They couldn’t fight back at all, so they had to struggle hard.

Watching the old lady, Xiao Yun, who was trapped in the spell, struggled to speak, "You are targeting our Xiao Village, but these five super beasts are not owned by our Xiao Village. You better release them all!"

"Release?"

The old lady burst into laughter as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world and said, "Of course, I know. These five super beasts belong to your new follower named Jiang Yun!"

"But now that I have set my eyes on them, from now on, they belong to me!"

As she finished speaking, the old lady raised her hand, and the five tightly bound demon beasts flew towards her palm.

But at that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out, "My things have never been stolen before!"

"And you won’t be able to!"

A beam of light, several feet long, like lightning, descended from the sky and struck directly at the five demon beasts wrapped up.

Although the light flashed and disappeared quickly, the vines on the five demon beasts vanished instantly.

Freed from the vines, the five demon beasts quickly scattered and escaped.

The old woman ignored the five demon beasts and looked towards the direction of the voice. There, she saw a man in black named Jiang Yun, his eyes fierce but his face cold.

Jiang Yun hurried back in time along the way.

Upon his arrival, Jiang Yun saw that the five demon beasts had been captured. Without hesitation, he used a Taoist spell to cut off the vines from their bodies.

With Jiang Yun’s arrival and the five demon beasts rejoining the fight, the morale of the people from Xiao village and Li village rose.

The old woman coldly smiled and said, "You are the master of the Xiao village!"

Jiang Yun, realizing that the other person was also a powerful Tao Spiritual Realm expert, knew he couldn’t match them. He thought hard about how to solve the danger facing Xiao Village today.

The old woman added, "You came back quite quickly. It’s good because I won’t have to look for you later."

"Today I will take you back, no matter where you are from. I will let your elders from Mu Village come to ransom you!"

Even though the old woman received orders not to kill Jiang Yun, if she encounters him, she can capture him and release him after destroying Xiao Village.

The old woman opened her five fingers and fiercely pressed down towards Jiang Yun from the air.

"Buzz!"

Countless spirit energies burst out from her withered five fingers, all turning into willow branches, covering the sky and earth.

Suddenly, Jiang Yun’s vision darkened, as if he had entered a world of endless willow branches, swirling around him like living creatures.

Jiang Yun knew that if he touched any of the willow branches, he would face the same fate as Little Fu before, being surrounded by these branches.

"Snow!"

Spirit energy surged out of Jiang Yun’s body, transforming into snowflakes that instantly lowered the temperature, freezing the willow branches around him.

Next, Jiang Yun lifted his hand and used all his strength to smash the frozen willow branches in front of him.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, Jiang Yun finally broke free, surprising the old woman who didn’t expect him to break through her attack so quickly.

The old woman chuckled and said, "You’ve got some skills, but you won’t escape my grasp today, young man!"

Just as the old woman was about to launch another attack, an indifferent voice echoed from the sky.

"While I enjoy watching a good fight, I don’t tolerate disrespect towards the elderly!"
