Chapter 84: I Want to Slay Immortals

The instantly frozen ice rain seemed like sparkling threads, delicate yet strong, tightly weaving the vast world together.

The sunlight pierced through the transparent ice threads, becoming dazzling, falling into the golden eyes of the baby dragon, like a brilliant stream of light passing by. This cruel yet exquisite scene made it impossible for the dragon to look away.

It stared straight at the scene, almost forgetting to flap its wings and falling, but Wen Yun reached out to grab it and pulled it back into her arms, avoiding a tragedy.

"Can we still play like this?"

The little dragon wiggled in Wen Yun’s arms to get more comfortable, its tail wagging excitedly. "Isn’t this just…"

It stopped halfway through, unable to find the right words.

Wen Yun smoothly picked up where the dragon left off, saying, "Combination magic."

By casting two or even more different types of magic simultaneously, the effects can be surprisingly powerful. For example, when Ye Shubai used the basic spell "Rainfall" along with Wen Yun’s "Frozen Land," not only did it catch the enemy off guard, but it also doubled the damage, which was quite impressive.

Wen Yun had always been a lone adventurer, so she never had anyone to coordinate with. Now with Ye Shubai, her talented young apprentice, she was quite pleased.

The little dragon, still in awe, wondered why it hadn’t thought of this strategy itself. When its owner patted its head and joked, "Read more books, sleep less, and you can do it too."

"Oh… maybe not."

Thankfully, after she finished speaking, Wen Yun flew down to check on the demon cultivator frozen into an ice sculpture below. If she had heard the dragon’s lazy response, she might have considered cooking it for dinner.

The two magic boats below were frozen into ice, and the sudden extreme cold was nearly killing the demon cultivators inside. With the new dragon bone wand, even their blood seemed frozen.

Wen Yun landed lightly on the deck of one of the demon boats, which were crowded with frozen demon cultivators. She glanced over them, searching for the person she was looking for.

Mo You, or perhaps he should be called Xie Mian.

The other person was very cunning, and Wen Yun felt that she needed to be cautious.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of that person on the demon boat. Wen Yun had to give up and turned towards another demon boat.

Just then, a very slight cracking sound came to Wen Yun’s ears, but she remained calm, as if she had not heard anything.

"Crack–"

Suddenly, an ice block exploded in the crowd of people, and a tall figure in heavy armor leaped high in the air with a shout, wielding a long spear and rushing towards Wen Yun from behind like a small mountain!

Wen Yun didn’t look back.

Faster than the demon cultivator, a white figure behind Wen Yun leaped into the air, skillfully avoiding the attack of the long spear with a wooden sword spirit in hand, and the sword point accurately aimed at the demon cultivator’s forehead as if it had eyes.

The Lord of the Cold Abyss City’s heart jumped suddenly, he tried to dodge to the side with all his might, but the sword energy still left a deep cut on his face that revealed bone.

Half a year ago, he had fought against Ye Shubai and Wen Yun, losing in a two against one battle, knowing that these two were not ordinary people.

But the strength of these two people had greatly increased since their last encounter in the Demon Realm! Before, he had lost in a two against one battle, but now he couldn’t even win in a one against one fight?

He didn’t dare to think too much, raising his long spear in an attempt to block the wooden sword that kept stabbing at him. However, Ye Shubai moved swiftly like the wind, instantly changing his sword technique from stabbing to slashing.

Before the Lord of the Cold Abyss City could react, his eyes widened in horror as he saw his body, still covered in ice, falling downward.

In that moment, his mind was confused, with only a strange question arising.

Why is my body… missing its head?

All of this happened in just a few seconds. Wen Yun turned her head slowly, observing the decapitated body of the Lord of the Cold Abyss City on the ground, and generously remarked, "Impressive."

The sword spirit did an excellent job protecting its master, as Wen Yun didn’t even need to intervene.

It seemed like the little dragon next to her had the same thought and awkwardly squeezed onto the deck, asking Ye Shubai hesitantly, "Is it over?"

Ye Shubai stayed silent, just nodded, furrowed his brows, and carefully wiped the bloodstains on his wooden sword with a silk handkerchief.

The little dragon wagged its tail quickly and urgently asked, "Just one move and it’s over? This person could break free from being frozen in Frozen Land on their own, aren’t they powerful?"

"Not really, it was just a simple Transmigration," Ye Shubai calmly replied, paused, and corrected the little dragon, "It took two moves."

He had indeed been able to defeat a normal Transmigration with one strike, but now the jade nascent soul was not complete, and there was still a shard inside Wen Yun’s body, requiring two or three moves to deal with.

Little dragon, "…Is there a difference?"

It had just been about to transform into its original form to bravely protect its master and reclaim the noble status of the wand spirit, but the ending came too quickly, and it didn’t even have a chance to show off.

It glanced askew at Ye Shubai, thinking that some eager spirits were really unattractive when seeking attention.

As soon as Frozen Land descended, demon cultivators with insufficient cultivation instantly perished, and those with high cultivation were expecting the Lord of the Cold Abyss City to intervene and capture the two sword cultivators, but in the blink of an eye, they saw the City Master’s body in a different place.

Everyone knew that if they didn’t act soon, they might all die here.

So while Wen Yun and her friends were chatting casually, several ice blocks behind them suddenly exploded, and the auras of several cultivators at the Soul Changing Stage or the Nascent Soul Stage came rushing towards them.

This time, the little fire dragon finally found an opportunity to show off its strength. Before the people could completely break free from the ice blocks, it turned around and breathed out a fierce dragon flame.

With this sudden change in the ice, several demon cultivators screamed in pain, and Ye Shubai raised his sword to strike again.

Wen Yun reminded, "Leave two alive."

Mo You was severely injured now. She wanted to understand why the demon cultivators were attacking the Four Continents in this situation. Their actions seemed like a suicide mission, but seeing how confident and ordinary these demon cultivators appeared, she began to worry if they had some kind of backing.

The results of her questions were indeed not very optimistic.

"Dao Jie hasn’t left yet, and from what these demon cultivators are saying, he wants to capture all the geniuses of the Four Continents. Hehe, Dongxuan World is planning to cage the entire cultivation world, and now Dao Jie wants to cage all the geniuses. He really thinks of himself as an immortal."

Wen Yun’s voice was clear and cold, showing no fear towards these powerful Ascension Realm experts.

She gently jumped off the magic boat, lightly touching the ice surface that had formed in the outer sea with her dragon bone wand, and called her two spirits behind her, "Little Bai, Little Hong, let’s go."

The little fire dragon turned into a little pig and flew into her arms to lie down, while Ye Shubai followed with his sword.

Behind them, where she had touched the ice layer with her staff, cracks gradually spread from that point like a spider web, deepening bit by bit downwards, revealing the dark sea water.

Silently, two giant magic boats frozen into ice slowly sank into the seabed, carrying the demon cultivators dreaming on board, completely disappearing from the world.

*

"Now, Dongxuan World is tracking the location of Immortal Su Yuan. Since he can’t take action, we have to do it."

Wen Yun drifted lightly down above Middle Island, surveying the surrounding environment.

If Wen Yun and Ye Shubai were to face Dao Jie of the Ascension Realm now, they might not be a match. They could escape using the random teleportation array, but others couldn’t escape, and countless people from the Four Continents behind them couldn’t either.

This battle cannot be avoided.

The only good thing was that those demon cultivators didn’t leave anyone alive, so it would take some time for Dao Jie and Mo You to respond to the situation. These days were enough for Wen Yun to make some arrangements.

She held many Magic Stones and spiritual jade in her hands, she weighed them and directed the little fire dragon to carry these stones and throw them into the corresponding positions.

The war wreckage on Middle Island had been cleaned up, and now all three factions had sent people to guard the island. Jiang Si and Qian Lishen were both sect masters, they hesitated to sit inside the city, but as soon as they saw Wen Yun come out to set up the formation, they immediately followed her out.

Qian Lishen watched all day long but still couldn’t figure out what formation Wen Yun was setting up. He felt embarrassed to ask, afraid of showing that Blizzard Island lacked knowledge.

Coincidentally, there were two disciples from Blizzard Island guarding nearby. They asked him, "Island Master, what formation is Fairy Wen setting up? Why have we never seen it before?"

Qian Lishen glanced at the disciples and said softly, "It is a virtue to ask without shame, you can go and ask for yourself."

They did ask, and Wen Yun was not secretive. She generously told them how to set up the formation. The two disciples nodded repeatedly with enthusiasm, holding the stones that Wen Yun gave them and ran to the other side of the island to learn how to set up this formation.

She turned back and smiled at the puzzled Qian Lishen, saying, "If Taoist Friend Qian is interested, would you like to set up the formation together?"

Qian Lishen acted indifferent and said lightly, "Protecting Middle Island with the formation is my responsibility, so it wouldn’t be right for me not to take action."

He struggled to speak, but his steps were honest as he ran quickly to Wen Yun and said, "How can I help?"

Wen Yun raised her eyebrows and said, "I found Taoist Friend Qian’s Spirit-gathering Array quite interesting, so I tried to set it up myself. But there are some details that I still don’t understand."

When the girl mentioned her skills, Qian Lishen almost couldn’t hold back his laughter, but managed to control himself and casually said, "Oh, I just made some improvements that I can show you."

As he spoke, he took out a formation plate and quickly manipulated it, then threw a spiritual jade into the sea to set up a very small Spirit-gathering Array.

"The original Spirit-gathering Array was used to defend against enemies, but this improved one is used to trap enemies and lure them in…" Qian Lishen said as he sprinkled some crumbs into the Array from his space bag, soon attracting a small fish into the area.

He stared at the formation intently, lowering his voice as if not to scare the fish.

"Then, we activate the Array…"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Si suddenly approached, laughing heartily and greeting them warmly, "What kind of formation are you setting up? Oh, you’re fishing! Looks like we’ll have an extra dish tonight. How about sweet and sour fish?"

With Jiang Si’s arrival, Qian Lishen hadn’t activated the Array yet and the fish got scared away.

Qian Lishen angrily stared at him and said, "We don’t have the mood of the Jiang family. With the demon cultivator causing trouble again, Taoist Friend Wen and I are setting up defense formations and doing important tasks!"

Jiang Si wasn’t bothered by Qian Lishen’s unfriendly tone. The easygoing knife cultivator patted Qian Lishen on the shoulder with a smile, saying, "Haha, you focus on your task, we will catch the fish that escape. Don’t worry."

Qian Lishen angrily punched the cotton and then reluctantly used bait to lure in the fish.

This time, a group of fish came.

Jiang Si stopped causing trouble, and Qian Lishen successfully set up the new Spirit-gathering Array. He glanced at Wen Yun and said, "Once someone is trapped inside the Spirit-gathering Array, their struggles will only strengthen the formation by absorbing their spiritual power, making it impossible for them to escape. That’s the brilliance of the new Spirit-gathering Array!"

Wen Yun noticed a faint light of spiritual power on the surface of the sea. As Qian Lishen had said, the group of fish inside the Array started swimming out after eating the bait. However, the Array trapped them inside. The leader of the fish seemed to realize something was wrong and began to panic, but the more they struggled, the stronger the Array became.

They couldn’t escape at all.

After Qian Lishen released the Array, the trapped fish scattered and swam away. Jiang Si sighed in disappointment, realizing they wouldn’t be having sweet and sour fish for dinner that night.

Wen Yun was lost in thought.

Spirit-gathering Array, as the name suggests, gathers spiritual power to trap ordinary practitioners who use spiritual power.

But if we change the Spirit-gathering Array to Source-gathering Formation, allowing it to draw upon the power of heaven and earth, can it trap Ascenders who use the power of heaven and earth?

Ascenders are also human at the end of the day, why can’t they be captured? Why should the upper realm capture and control the lower realm like pigs, why can’t it be reversed, with her capturing people from the upper realm?

Wen Yun pressed her lips together, her heart suddenly beating fast, not out of nervousness but excitement.

After Qian Lishen carefully explained the formation’s structure to Wen Yun again, she tried to set up two using spiritual jade, and both were successful without exception.

Qian Lishen had long witnessed her talent in formations, feeling a twinge of sourness but still congratulated her, "Congratulations, you have mastered this formation. So, are you planning to use it to imprison demon cultivators?"

Wen Yun called back the little fire dragon, took out the unfinished Magic Stone from its mouth, and calmly said, "I plan to set up a giant Spirit-gathering Array along Middle Island."

Jiang Si, who was fishing in the sea with his bare arms, popped his head out of the water eagerly, "Are you planning to lure demon cultivators to the island and catch them all like a turtle in a jar?"

As he spoke, he pulled something from under the water, and it turned out to be a big sea turtle!

Wen Yun quietly looked around and thought that since Ye Shubai was setting up formations at the other end of Middle Island, it should be fine for her to take a peek at the bare-chested knife cultivator, right?

Hmm, that’s not right.

After feeling guilty, Wen Yun regained her confidence and thought that beautiful things should be openly appreciated, so why was she hiding from Ye Shubai now?

Holding her breath for a moment, she looked towards Jiang Si when she realized that Ye Shubai was indeed not around this time. She then openly admired Jiang Si’s superior chest muscles, abs, and biceps, smiled satisfactorily, and said, "You’re right. I was just planning to take the bull by the horns."

Jiang Si laughed heartily, "Yes, let’s go catch those old turtles together."

However, Wen Yun shook her head and said seriously, "No, you all need to leave Middle Island together with others, leaving no one behind."

"Why?"

"Because you used the wrong word just now. This time, I want to catch not a demon cultivator, but…"

Wen Yun paused for a moment, pondered, and then explained in a way they would understand best, "It’s a celestial being."

"Bang!"

Jiang Si shook his hand and the turtle splashed into the water. It bit his foot hard, but he didn’t feel it as he was staring blankly at Wen Yun.

Qian Lishen also dropped the tray into the sea with a thud. Jiang Si snapped out of it and dived into the water to retrieve it and threw it back to him.

"What did you say?"

"Say it again?"

Both of them asked at the same time. Wen Yun pointed to the sky and repeated,

"I am planning to catch a fairy!"

Before she could finish her sentence, a strong wave suddenly lifted Jiang Si out of the water onto the shore.

In the far distant sea, there seemed to be a mountainous wave approaching. A vague sense of pressure gradually rose, making the two Golden Core Stage cultivators uneasy. They exchanged a surprised look, seeing the anxiety in each other’s eyes.

Wen Yun looked calm, holding a dragon bone wand. As she waved it over the two people, the power of heaven and earth descended, making their faces look better.

The girl in the green dress stood proudly on the sea. The sea breeze blew her hair and dress freely, as if she could fly away at any moment without looking back.

Her voice was clear and cold, showing no fear in the face of danger.

She said, "You guys go on, I will deal with the immortal beings."
