Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 214

Fairy Jaryeong and Tak Yeo-jeong’s faces were grim. Madam Fan’s face turned completely pale, and she couldn’t help but shout,

“We have never treated the elders poorly! How could they do this!”

She was furious, thinking about all the effort she had put into Elder Jo. Elder Jo calmly replied,

“Madam Fan, this old one didn’t want to do this either, but it was a matter of life and death, so I had no choice.”

Madam Fan seemed to have more to say, but Fairy Jaryeong quietly stopped her.

“Madam Fan, what’s done is done. If the opponent has set a trap, they must have other means. We must quickly leave this place and plan for the next opportunity.”

“The rumors that Fairy Jaryeong possesses both beauty and wisdom were not false. How about the Fairy marrying this young lord? Although I have many concubines, the position of the main wife is still vacant.”

Oh Chuk looked at her face, which was covered by a magic spell, with a lingering gaze. Fairy Jaryeong met his gaze expressionlessly.

“Very well.”

It was an answer that surprised everyone. Oh Chuk was surprised and asked back with suspicion,

“Miss Wang, are you serious?”

“If you kill all the cultivators who killed my mother, I will become your wife.”

Her face was as cold as ice. Oh Chuk erased the joy from his face and shook his head.

“That won’t do. Those who were on duty that day are all my grandfather’s confidants, so I cannot deal with them as I please. Can’t we change the conditions?”

Fairy Jaryeong sneered and began talking to Madam Fan in a low voice, ignoring Oh Chuk.

At that sight, Oh Chuk’s ugly face became even more distorted, but after a while, he suppressed his anger, as if he had thought of something, and turned his gaze to the Silver Kill Gate group.

“Uncle Sun, congratulations on raising so many disciples in the meantime!”

‘Uncle?’

Everyone was shocked by Oh Chuk’s words.

Han Li’s heart also seemed to drop, and he spread his spiritual sense [a cultivator’s ability to sense their surroundings] to thoroughly examine the surroundings, but no ambush was found.

He was hesitating whether to run away immediately or wait and see. At this time, the middle-aged man from the Silver Kill Gate opened his mouth.

“You speak well. I didn’t expect to be discovered by you just as I was about to start my activities.”

“Hehe! Anyone who has been hiding in the sea for decades would want to come out once in a while. Besides, isn’t Uncle Sun showing himself this time for the Void Sky Hall?

How are the Void Sky Remnant Maps that you and the other uncles took? The time for the Void Sky Hall to appear, which only happens once every 300 years, is not far off, so if you hand over the map, I will beg my grandfather to spare your life.”

Oh Chuk tempted his opponent with a greedy expression.

“Do you think I, who was once a disciple of the Old Fiend Extreme Yin, don’t know his personality? Even if I give you the map, he will kill me cruelly. Besides…”

When the opponent trailed off, Oh Chuk narrowed his brows.

“Besides, do you think you have the authority to decide? Old monster, don’t hide and show your true form!”

At his words, Han Li and the others were greatly surprised and looked around.

‘Could it be that the Old Ancestor Extreme Yin has appeared?’

However, even after looking around, they couldn’t sense anything. Everyone’s gaze returned to the middle-aged man and Oh Chuk.

Oh Chuk was also dumbfounded and tried to argue.

“If I don’t have the authority to decide, then who…”

His expression gradually became strange. He looked at the middle-aged man and let out a bizarre laugh.

“As expected, you are one of my most cherished disciples. You recognized me, didn’t you?”

While speaking, Oh Chuk’s face twisted strangely, and he began to transform into a small, ugly old man with small eyes.

Cold sweat ran down Han Li’s back as he watched the scene. The middle-aged man looked at the old man with a tense expression and said,

“The Body Possession Great Art! You wouldn’t entrust such an important task to that person. Even though you can’t move your true body, you still came in person.”

“Disciple, are you daring to challenge your master?”

The old man, in his new form, made a sharp sound without moving his lips, causing everyone to retreat.

“Huh! Disciple? You killed us arbitrarily and even refined our souls. When did you ever consider us disciples! At best, we were your servants! Besides, you can only exert a third of your original power by borrowing someone else’s body. Do you think I would be afraid of you!”

As the middle-aged man spread his hands, the skull in front of him became even more murderous.

Fairy Jaryeong and the other cultivators were overwhelmed by the bizarre situation and didn’t know what to do.

The old man spoke calmly, without any sign of anger, despite the middle-aged man’s words.

“Yes, if it were 100 years ago, you would be right. It would have been difficult for me to catch you with only a third of my power. But now…”

The small old man suddenly sneered.

At the old man’s words, the middle-aged man’s face hardened, and he made an expression of disbelief.

“Could it be that you succeeded in mastering that demonic art!”

“You guessed right. If you behave yourself now, I will give you a way to live, but if you resist, you know the consequences, right?”

With a soft sound, the Old Ancestor Extreme Yin calmly spoke and spread one hand, creating a pitch-black flame on his palm. The middle-aged man’s face turned pale, and he even stuttered.

“You finally mastered the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire!”

The Old Ancestor Extreme Yin sneered at the middle-aged man and suddenly turned his head towards Fairy Jaryeong.

“Listen well. This old ancestor is in a good mood today, so I will give you a way to live! If any of you are willing to submit to the Extreme Yin Sect, I will allow you to live freely in the future.

However, you must unconditionally follow my orders, and those who resist will have their souls scattered. If you hand over a third of your soul to the Soul Restricting Plate, the Divine Restriction Plate, you will be allowed to leave this place safely.”

After speaking, the old man took out several black wooden pieces from his pocket and looked around at them. However, the cultivators, including Han Li, only looked at each other.

No one stepped forward to receive the Divine Restriction Plate, nor did they refuse outright. They were all silent, suppressed by the opponent’s overwhelming presence.

The Core Formation cultivators on Fairy Jaryeong’s side were only Han Li, Gok Hon, Meng Seon-sa, and the hawk-nosed man requested by Tak Yeo-jeong. The rest, including Fairy Jaryeong and Madam Fan, were all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

And the Old Fiend Red Flower in the dark clouds released the Silver Kill Gate cultivators he had been holding and was only watching the situation unfold without saying a word.

The Old Ancestor Extreme Yin’s face hardened, and he muttered grimly,

“It seems you are not afraid of death? I will grant your wish!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the hawk-nosed cultivator behind Tak Yeo-jeong suddenly turned into a streak of yellow light and began to flee. Tak Yeo-jeong looked at him in surprise and anger, and his voice could be heard as he quickly fled dozens of yards away.

“Humph! I, Bong, don’t want to fight the old ancestor, nor do I intend to be under anyone, so I’ll be leaving now!”

He quickly covered more than a dozen yards, showing incredible speed.

The Old Ancestor Extreme Yin’s eyes flashed, and he immediately threw a black fireball. The black fireball flickered for a moment and then disappeared, leaving a long tail, in the direction where Cultivator Bong had flown.

The others had ominous thoughts, and Han Li also focused his mind.

Thud!

“Aaaah!”

At the same time, a scream leaked out from the yellow light that was flying far away, and black flames engulfed him. When the flames disappeared, only the magical treasure that had been flying remained, and there was no trace of the cultivator.

“Gasp!”

Everyone swallowed hard at the shocking sight. The speed of the black flames was too fast.

Han Li could have tried his best to avoid it if the distance was far. However, it was absolutely impossible if the distance was only about thirty yards.

Moreover, judging from the sight of the black flames burning a cultivator, it was more powerful than the Azure Yang Demonic Fire of the Demonic Path Six Sects. It was likely that ordinary magical treasures would not be able to block it.

Realizing that the opponent was a powerful figure who could take his life at any time, Han Li’s lips went dry, and his heart pounded.

He did his best to suppress the urge to run away immediately. If he acted rashly here, he would only hasten his death.

However, he could never offer his soul to the opponent. If the opponent destroyed the third of his soul bound by the Divine Restriction Plate, he would become an idiot or die from not being able to control his rampaging spirit.

Only cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage could use the vicious technique of imprisoning another person’s soul, and Core Formation cultivators were unable to do so.

Han Li barely regained his senses and looked at the others.

Meng Seon-sa, who had been floating not far away, had completely lost his cheerful demeanor and forced a wry smile when he felt Han Li’s gaze. Then, he looked at the Old Ancestor Extreme Yin with a stiff face.

Fairy Jaryeong, who was standing in front, still had the same look in her eyes, but it was noticeable that her ten fingers, which were behind her back, were clenched tightly.

The rest of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, such as Madam Fan and Tak Yeo-jeong, had lost all color from their faces and were terrified after seeing the power of the black flames.

Speechless, Han Li turned his gaze back to the Silver Kill Gate group. Among them, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes after confirming the power of the black flames.

“There is no need to fear the old demon. Since he is borrowing someone else’s body, he can only use such techniques a few times. Otherwise, the borrowed body will explode and die. Let’s join forces and capture the demon.”

The middle-aged man’s gaze was directed towards the Old Fiend Red Flower in the dark clouds. He thought that only someone like Red Flower, who was at the same level as him, would have a chance of winning.

There was no response from within the dark clouds, but Fairy Jaryeong also looked coldly towards the dark clouds and remained silent.

As he watched the scene, the Old Ancestor Extreme Yin lightly brought his two hands together and then separated them, creating black fireballs in each palm that floated in the air. At that sight, everyone’s eyes widened as they watched the fireballs.

Only then did the dark clouds stir, and the voice of the Old Fiend Red Flower was heard.

“Old Ancestor Extreme Yin, are you trying to make me submit as well?”

“Since I have personally stepped forward, those here must either die or accept me as their master. No one can be an exception.”

“To think you would try to make this old one submit with a body from the Body Possession Great Art. It seems I will have to experience the power of that demonic fire myself.”

The dark clouds stirred and increased their momentum, as if the Old Fiend Red Flower was angry. Now that the Old Fiend Red Flower had clearly stated his position, the people of the Myriad Sound Sect and the disciples of the Silver Kill Gate felt relieved.

They thought that if they joined forces with the Old Fiend, they might have a chance to defeat the Old Ancestor Extreme Yin.

In any case, the Old Fiend Red Flower’s Sunflower Water Demonic Art was also a famous technique in the Chaotic Star Sea, so it might be able to block the opponent’s black flames.

At this moment, Fairy Jaryeong suddenly opened her mouth.

“Senior Extreme Yin, aren’t you worried that the Holy Palace will come to arrest you for using the Divine Restriction Art so arbitrarily? I know that the Divine Restriction Art used by Nascent Soul stage experts is strictly prohibited by the Heavenly Star Twins.”

Even the Old Ancestor Extreme Yin, a demonic figure of the Nascent Soul stage, had a slight change in expression at the mention of the Holy Palace. However, he soon returned to his original state and laughed.

“Heh heh, you are a knowledgeable girl! It is true that the Holy Palace issued such a prohibition, but that is already a thing of the past. Do you still think that the Heavenly Star Twins can freely enter and leave the Heavenly Star City? If not them, who in the Holy Palace would dare to come and arrest me!”

Han Li and the other cultivators were surprised by his arrogant attitude, but the middle-aged man from the Silver Kill Gate did not change his expression at all, as if he already knew.

Fairy Jaryeong was silent for a moment before boldly shouting towards the middle-aged man,

“We will leave this demon to you and Senior Red Flower, and we will first deal with the traitors and then rejoin you!”

The middle-aged man hesitated but eventually ordered his subordinates,

“We will accept that proposal for now. If we fail to deal with the demon, no one will be able to return alive!”

The middle-aged man glared coldly at the Old Ancestor Extreme Yin, while Red Flower’s dark clouds flew above him, forming a united front.
