Qi Shuming told everyone that Ei Sect now faced a formidable enemy, constantly lurking nearby, ready to annihilate the entire Ei Sect. Everyone should gather in the mountains and temporarily close off the mountain to wait until the Demon perished on its own accord before venturing out again.
When the sanctuary was established, Master Changi had preemptively set an Array that activated and nearly hollowed out the interior of Ei Mountain, lting it down and reforming it into five large air bubbles. Within these bubbles, the Taiyuan Five Mansions were constructed along with hundreds of large and small stone chambers and caves.
Apart from the main gate, there were only two or three other exits, all of which were usually sealed. The Spirit Jade Peak suppressed them, and they were protected by the complete version of the Liangyi Dust Formation with the Taiqing One Qi Divine Talisman as its core. Outsiders couldn’t enter, and inside, with the Right Yuan Fire House and Left Yuan Thirteen Limits, disciples could cultivate and train without any distractions.
Over these years, only the Three Immortals of the East Sea ventured out occasionally; apart from that, everyone else remained reclusive with not a single person being seen in the outside world.
Deng Yin had long been unable to find an opportunity to strike, so he temporarily gave up and returned to West Kunlun.
The Red Corpse Divine Monarch and Deng Yin had long been close friends, like real brothers. Although the Red Corpse Divine Monarch was a Demon Path expert of a thousand years, he seldom committed evils and had often advised Deng Yin in the past.
When Deng Yin had been relentlessly pursued by Master Changi and found himself in a precarious situation, the Red Corpse Divine Monarch had fiercely protected him. He had dueled with Master Changi three tis and was soundly defeated each ti, with all his Magical Treasures destroyed and nearly resulting in the total destruction of both his body and soul. It was only because Master Changi eventually showed rcy and told him, "You opposed because of my worthless junior brother. I’ve spared even this chief culprit and won’t take your life either."
The Red Corpse Divine Monarch was deeply grateful, not only ceasing to hate Master Changi but also instructing his disciples to avoid conflict with mbers of the Ei Sect after Master Changi ascended.
Now with Deng Yin reerging and seeking him out, the Red Corpse Divine Monarch was both shocked and delighted, hosting him with great hospitality.
Then he heard that Deng Yin wanted revenge on the Ei Sect again, and he continuously advised him, "The grievances between you and Master Changi are unclear, whether the kindness outweighs the grudges or vice versa. Still, in the end, he spared your life, otherwise, how could you sit here today drinking with ? If he was still alive, seeking revenge might be reasonable, but he has ascended. As a senior, for you to kill his successors, even if you exterminate the entire Ei Sect, what would that achieve? Even if you succeed, will you truly feel liberated and at ease?"
But Deng Yin remained resentful. Master Changi had forced him to kill the woman he loved the most. When he refused, Master Changi acted personally and Deng Yin watched helplessly as she died under the Green Rope Sword, dood to never transcend! He would never forgive this senior brother, even if he had ascended. He would eradicate his lineage in the Human World, making him regret his actions from the heavens above!
Even if it ant perishing under the Heavenly Tribulation and Punishnt, he did not care!
Seeing that he could not dissuade Deng Yin, the Red Corpse Divine Monarch could only sigh.
Deng Yin broke the "expired" Liangyi Dust Formation at Star Constellations Sea and extracted all fifteen of his disciples, including three who had peeled off their skin to practice the Blood Shadow Divine Skill. The rest hadn’t done so yet.
He designated Xiao Yue Zen Master as their senior brother because Breaking Head Monk was nearby in Star Constellations Sea, and he didn’t want to be neighbors with a bald head who had grievances with him, so it made sense to move them all to the Red Corpse Divine Monarch’s Seven Evils Demon Palace for joint cultivation.
Knowing that Huo Wuhai had gone to duel Jiulei God Monarch and predicting that Jiulei God Monarch would face a tribulation, he pulled the Red Corpse Divine Monarch along to aid in a rescue, swooping in at the last mont to save and bring him back to West Kunlun.
Having had a narrow escape from death, Jiulei God Monarch was naturally grateful to him. Delighted by this, Deng Yin now had two Divine Monarchs from the Demon Path as allies, ensuring he would no longer be isolated in his future endeavors. Especially after this incident, Jiulei God Monarch harboring deep hatred for Shi Feiyang, having such a person could pressure Shi Feiyang. Should relations sour, he could always unleash Jiulei God Monarch to strike at Shi Feiyang.
For the next seven years, they cultivated within the Seven Evils Demon Palace. He obtained half of Xiong Mans Dragon Sparrow Ring, hoping to complete the set. Knowing the other half was with the Two Elders of Song Mountain, he even made special trips there several tis. The first ti, he was casual, thinking it would be easily accomplished, but the Two Elders of Song Mountain, also having substantial Dao Levels, sensed it beforehand and escaped elsewhere.
On his subsequent three trips, he preemptively cast Spells to conceal Heaven’s Secret to prevent being detected again. However, whether by advanced warnings or pure chance, he never succeeded.
Realizing that so Heavenly Numbers couldn’t be altered, he was furiously resentful, wishing he could unleash a barrage of Blood Evil Divine Light and riddle the heavens with hundreds of holes, yet there was nothing he could do.
Currently, he was exchanging Magic insights with Jiulei God Monarch, helping him refine the Nine Child Mothers Blood Demon Thunder Pearl, when suddenly his Lifebound Demon issued an ominous sign. Sensing sothing was amiss, he stopped to calculate and realized that Shi Feiyang was coming for him, causing him to sigh, "He has finally left seclusion."
Jiulei God heard envy and insecurity in his tone and asked who it was.
Deng Yin glanced at him sideways, smiled gently, and decided not to tell Jiulei yet. He would wait for Shi Feiyang to arrive and introduce them, watching to see what expressions would appear between the two.
Then, he instructed his disciples to bring out the best Green Blood Jade Liquid from the mountain and prepare a banquet with the finest rare delicacies.
The disciples didn’t know what was going on, but they hurried to prepare everything.
Once the food and drink were ready, Deng Yin summoned the Red Corpse God Monarch as well, placing him to his left and Jiulei God Monarch to his right, and together they went outside to welco the guest.
Both were surprised; Deng Yin was a proud man who wouldn’t honor anyone so highly unless it was his brother who had ascended, the very ntion of whom would make him grit his teeth in anger. It seed no one else, not even the Buddhist high monks with the utmost Daoist power, could rit such respect.
Red Corpse God Monarch suggested, "Could it be Jile Perfected, Li Jingxu?"
"Don’t ntion him!" Deng Yin’s face changed as he snapped back angrily.
Originally, before he joined the Demon Path, Deng Yin had befriended Li Jingxu along with his own master, and their relationship was quite good. Unexpectedly, later Li sided only with his master. Then, when the Ei Sect opened their temple, Li went to support them...
That alone was tolerable, but having seen it himself, if not for Shi Feiyang’s arrival in this world, which changed many things, he would have been utterly annihilated by Li Jingxu and Xie Shan using both Taiyin Divine Thunder and Heart Lamp, body and soul destroyed!
Thinking of this, Deng Yin grew furious. What grudge did he have with Li Jingxu to warrant such elaborate sches against him, even intentionally concealing the Heart Lamp Flower Lamp’s effects with his own Taiyin Divine Thunder, afraid that he might see it coming and dodge in ti? Such malicious intent!
He had already decided that he would be irreconcilable with Li Jingxu and Xie Shan from this point forward, particularly Xie Shan, who he was determined to kill. But since Xie Shan was still in the mountain cultivating with Zen Master Tian ng, hiding away at ho, there was nothing he could do for now.
On the day the Ei temple opened, he saw Zen Master Tian ng holding a baby, accompanying Xie Shan to Ei, and had hoped to find an opportunity to kill Xie Shan, but unfortunately, that opportunity hadn’t arisen.
"If Li Jingxu cos here today, I will kill him!" Deng Yin declared.
Red Corpse God Monarch and Jiulei God Monarch exchanged glances, both puzzled. Jile Perfected was known for keeping a low profile, occasionally traversing the mortal world in the body of a child refined through cultivation, and generally staying out of worldly disputes. How had they offended him? Both had practiced cultivation for a millennium and experienced many things, but searching their mories, they couldn’t recall any enmity between these two.
While they were baffled, Shi Feiyang arrived—a streak of blue light flew from the east, reaching nearby in an instant, unfolding to reveal a green-robed youth. On seeing Deng Yin, he shouted, "Deng! How dare you bully my disciple while I was in seclusion! I won’t let this go today!"
The two Divine Monarchs were startled; they knew Deng Yin was proud and volatile, his mana exceedingly potent, and he was usually unwilling to endure or compromise, killing as thoughtlessly as crushing an ant, never considering the consequences before acting. Now, with preparations of food and drink, it seed he intended to respectfully receive a distinguished guest, yet the first thing the guest did was to point at his nose and scold him. It looked like Blood God Child might unleash a great massacre today!
Unexpectedly, Deng Yin did not get angry but replied with a smile, "Where do you get that idea, Daoist Shi? When have I ever bullied your disciple? Don’t falsely accuse good people! Hold off on that; you’ve co from afar, and I’ve prepared so modest drinks. It’s been many years since we brothers last spoke, so we must have a good chat this ti."
Seeing Deng Yin like this nearly made the two Divine Monarchs’ eyeballs drop to the floor, especially Red Corpse God Monarch, who had been friends with Deng Yin for a thousand years and had never seen him act this way...
Jiulei God Monarch, however, sensed sothing was amiss: Daoist Shi?
