After a long silence, Chen Yi looked at Ye Cangtian again and sighed, "You win, but this seat will only tell you about the hidden nails within the Yin Zu. The rest you will have to uncover yourself!"
"Agreed."
Ye Cangtian nodded. It was best to know when to stop. If he pushed Chen Yi too hard, he might not even get this much information.
With that thought, he spoke directly, "Actually, before going to Medicine King Valley, Elder Long had already recovered seventy to eighty percent of his strength with Bao'er's treatment. So, with him around, you couldn't kill me."
Hmm?
This explanation was indeed unexpected.
Chen Yi hadn't anticipated that a young girl from the outside world could heal the injury that had plagued Long Xuefeng for decades.
However, thinking about it, Long Xuefeng was also a heroic figure in his time, with terrifying strength.
Seventy to eighty percent of his strength should have been comparable to Chen Yi's peak.
There was no fault in what was said.
With that in mind, Chen Yi's gaze shifted to Ye Cangtian. Seeing that the latter had fallen silent, he understood his intentions.
The next moment, he took out brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone from his Qiankun bag and soon finished writing the list.
"These are all this seat's confidantes. The rest are merely sycophants who cling to power and are not worth mentioning."
As he spoke, Chen Yi waved his hand and threw the list to Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian caught the list, gave it a brief glance, and then put it into his Qiankun bag.
Having done all that, Ye Cangtian took out two large seals and began to introduce them. "There are a total of four ancient seals. Once gathered, they can open the gate to the Heavenly Realm, allowing one to seek the pinnacle of martial arts and true immortality!
I hold the Dark Seal and the Dragon Taming Seal, the Guangming Hall has the Light Seal, and another seal is within the Huaxia ruins..."
The pinnacle of martial arts? True immortality? This...
Chen Yi's eyes widened, staring fixedly at the two seals, his gaze filled with greed.
What was the purpose of practicing martial arts?
Some said it was for power, which was not untrue.
But power was worthless in the face of life!
Thinking of this, Chen Yi regretted it. He also wanted to see the Heavenly Realm and pursue immortality.
But he had already sharply refused the other party. Even if he took back his words now, it would be because of the matter of the four seals.
In such a situation, how could the other party accept him?
It could be said that he had personally severed his dream of immortality!
After a moment, he slowly bowed slightly to Ye Cangtian and said, "Thank you for telling me everything. Let us continue to fight!"
"This seat hopes you will unleash your full strength and all your trump cards, to show me how far you have grown!" Chen Yi added.
"Alright."
Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "But if I reveal all my trump cards, you will lose miserably!"
"It matters not. This seat desires a magnificent battle!"
Hearing Chen Yi's determined voice, Ye Cangtian nodded.
The next instant, the two seals in his hand transformed into giant illusory seal projections, floating in the air.
Concurrently, Ye Cangtian's Heavenly Eye opened between his brows, and a Death Scythe appeared in his hand.
"This..."
In just an instant, both Chen Yi before him and Haotian, who was watching from the side, were dumbfounded.
Their cultivation had broken through to the Heavenly realm, and their mental power was already quite formidable. Naturally, they could sense the Heavenly Eye between Ye Cangtian's brows.
And those who could open the Heavenly Eye were undoubtedly those with incredibly strong mental power.
At the same time, they knew that such people were likely capable of mental attacks.
Those were difficult to guard against. Even as Heavenly realm experts, the consequences of being struck would be unimaginable.
"Ye Cangtian, you are truly a rare prodigy!"
"I never expected this to be your true full strength. It truly astonishes this seat!"
Chen Yi exclaimed as he looked at Ye Cangtian, then waved his long sword.
As waves of spiritual energy emanated from him, they quickly swirled around him, forming a hurricane that supported him in the center.
It was clear that Chen Yi was extremely wary of Ye Cangtian's Heavenly Eye, so he prioritized defense over offense.
"Against me, defense is useless!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Chen Yi, a smile appearing on his face.
Then, he suddenly flicked his hand, and the illusory projections of the Dark Seal and the Dragon Taming Seal flew out, enveloping Chen Yi.
In an instant, the hurricane that had formed around Chen Yi suddenly slowed down.
Chen Yi's expression changed drastically. As the hurricane slowed, its defensive power also decreased significantly.
Most importantly, he felt a sense of powerless weakness.
Given that Ye Cangtian already had many trump cards, making him difficult to deal with, and now he was in a state of weakness, how could he fight?
However, before Chen Yi could figure out a solution, Ye Cangtian swung the Death Scythe in his hand.
*Yin!*
As the Death Scythe swung, waves of spiritual energy instantly formed a lifelike dragon head in the air.
The dragon head, with its eyes closed, roared arrogantly at the sky, emitting waves of dragon roars.
This...
Sensing the pressure from the dragon head, Chen Yi's face contorted. This was definitely a powerful killing move.
Moreover, the dragon's roar also carried a certain mental attack, disrupting his judgment.
He fully believed that if he couldn't withstand this move, even if he didn't die, he would lose the chance to fight again.
With that in mind, he desperately swung the Qingfeng in his hand, and instantly spiritual energy formed a hurricane that pierced through the heavens and earth, then met the dragon head.
Seeing this, everyone held their breath simultaneously, involuntarily activating their protective spiritual energy, waiting for the final outcome.
*Boom!*
The moment the dragon head collided with the hurricane, the hurricane instantly exploded, revealing the colossal sword hidden within.
As the two sides clashed again, there were more rumbles, and the halo emitted by the dragon head began to gradually dim.
However, with the dimming of the halo, the sword shattered in return.
Almost the instant the giant sword shattered, the blind dragon passed directly through Chen Yi's chest, sending him flying backward, leaving a constantly dissipating trail of blood flowers in the air.
*Bang!*
Chen Yi fell heavily to the ground, blood still gushing uncontrollably from his mouth, but his eyes showed no pain, only helplessness.
If it were just the blind dragon, he would not have lost. At most, it would have been a draw.
But unfortunately, Ye Cangtian also had the Dark Seal and the Dragon Taming Seal. The two seals had weakened him too much.
However, he couldn't say anything. Who told him these were the other party's trump cards?
Moreover, in his opinion, Ye Cangtian had not exerted his full strength, at least not using powerful mental attacks. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have even had a chance to fight back.
"It is indeed the world of the young now. I have lost..."
Chen Yi muttered his unwillingness.
To be honest, he had already anticipated the outcome, but he hadn't expected to lose so miserably. With just one move, his life had been cut off by the opponent.
Ye Cangtian glanced at Chen Yi deeply, but ultimately said no more.
Everything that needed to be said had been said, and everything that needed to be done had been done. He directly turned to Dongfang Hongwu and said, "Senior, his time is running out. If you have anything to say, please proceed..."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian retreated to the side.
Dongfang Hongwu swept his gaze over the crowd. Seeing that no one else intended to speak, he finally opened his mouth, "Chen Yi, after all these years, this seat has always wanted to ask you, why did you betray the Long Zu?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi glanced over and scoffed, "Because I saw through the true nature of the Yin Zu. Under the guise of protecting Huaxia, they engaged in all sorts of hypocritical acts!
Corruption and wrongdoing were rampant, yet they still used various rules and regulations to restrain everyone..."
Hearing Chen Yi's words, Dongfang Hongwu was silent for a long time. "You only saw the dark side. You should also see what the Yin Zu has done over the years!
Besides, isn't the Dark Association the same in this regard?"
It wasn't that he was shirking responsibility. Which force could completely eliminate corruption?
He could only guarantee that under his leadership, the vast majority of people were loyal to Huaxia and fought to protect it.
As for individuals, he could only say that he would punish every one he encountered. Eliminating it completely was simply unrealistic.
"Hmph! The Dark Association is indeed not much better, but at least the Dark Association shows true feelings. If I like something, I can take it by force. If I dislike something, I can destroy it!"
Chen Yi snorted and continued, "The only advantage of the Dark Association is that there are no restraints. As long as you have strength, you can do whatever you want! Therefore, this seat would rather be a true villain than a false good person!"
