In just over twenty short years, the positions of Yang Jing and the Jade Poison Great Saint had been completely reversed. Yang Jing had a bit of a headache over how to deal with this formidable figure among the Demons.
Although he was Si Taizhen’s biological father, there was a bone-deep, unforgettable enmity between them over the murder of her mother. The Jade Poison Great Saint had also planned to refine the Innate Yin Yang Qi from Si Taizhen’s Divine Soul. Any father-daughter affection they might have had, which was not deep to begin with, had long since vanished.
At this moment, Si Taizhen was on the verge of Nascent Soul Formation. It was a critical time, and she could not be disturbed in the slightest.
Yang Jing hesitated for a moment before a five-colored thunder light snaked out of his sleeve. It condensed into a five-colored lock chain, binding the Jade Poison Great Saint tightly.
As the thunder descended upon him, the Jade Poison Great Saint felt his surging Demon Power being sealed tightly within his Acupoints, completely immobile. His originally colossal True Body rapidly shrank down to the size of a normal person.
Even with all his experience, he couldn’t comprehend Yang Jing’s methods. Fear gripped his heart, and he dared not move a muscle, afraid that the slightest twitch would cause the Five Elements True Thunder on his body to blast him into ashes.
With a surge of Magical Power, Yang Jing dragged the Jade Poison Great Saint and flew toward the Flying Boat.
Along the way, he used his Magical Power to collect the corpses of the Demon Saints, storing them in his Inner World.
"Fellow Daoist Wood Palace, all seven Great Demon Saints have been slain. Is this enough to help you become the leader of the Thousand Islands Alliance?"
Yang Jing arrived opposite Wood Palace True Monarch and sat down gracefully.
"Of course... Of course, it’s enough!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Wood Palace True Monarch spoke as if waking from a dream.
Yang Jing nodded, then tapped his fingers on the tea table before him.
"I’m sure you heard the shouts of those Demon Saints, Wood Palace True Monarch. The Jade Poison Demon Saint I’ve captured can also testify that Cang He True Monarch colluded with Demons. I want him dead. If he is unconvinced, he is more than welcome to face me in Magical Combat."
Hearing Yang Jing’s words, the Jade Poison Great Saint nodded repeatedly.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Elder Cang He has many dealings with those beasts. Most of the Spirit Medicine produced in the Demon Country is sold through him!"
Seeing Yang Jing’s unwavering gaze, Wood Palace True Monarch could only brace himself and nod.
The Thousand Islands Alliance had twelve Nascent Soul True Monarchs, including himself. To execute Cang He True Monarch, even with evidence of his collusion with Demons, the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs would surely object.
But seeing how Yang Jing had slaughtered the Demon Saints like chickens and dogs today, who would dare to raise any objections?
Wood Palace True Monarch did not believe for a second that his fellow Daoists in the alliance hadn’t been watching this great battle through various means.
Seeing that Wood Palace True Monarch had agreed, Yang Jing formed a Spell with his hands. The Three Lights Divine Mirror, which had been in Ji Feng’s care, transformed into a ray of precious light and landed in his hand.
He reached out, grabbed a wisp of aura, and injected it into the Three Lights Divine Mirror.
"Cang He, I have captured your aura in this mirror. If you stay on your island and quietly await your death, I can still grant you a dignified end. But if you try to flee, don’t blame me for not leaving your corpse intact."
Yang Jing suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.
「Canghe Island」
When Cang He saw Yang Jing slay seven Demon Saints in a row through his Myriad-Mile Observing Mirror, his expression had already turned ugly. Upon hearing Yang Jing’s thunderous shout, his body swayed, and he collapsed weakly onto his meditation cushion.
He knew Yang Jing wanted to establish his dominance, and he had just become the chicken to be killed to warn the monkeys.
"Master, what are we waiting for? Let’s flee! We can become Honored Guest Elders in a Central Continent Major Sect. Surely this villain can’t chase us all the way to the Central Continent."
The disciple attending him advised, trying to suppress his shivers.
"Flee? Where can we flee? I’m afraid the moment I step off Canghe Island, a divine light will descend from the sky and turn me completely to ash."
As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Cang He True Monarch’s Spiritual Sense was incredibly sharp. The moment his aura was captured by Yang Jing, he could sense that his time of death had arrived.
Earlier, when he saw Ji Feng wielding the Three Lights Divine Mirror, sweeping across the sea region and annihilating all sorts of Outer Celestial Demons and Demon Monsters under its divine light, he had even felt a flicker of greed for the supreme treasure.
He never thought he would lose his life to that very same treasure.
"Everything is settled. Fellow Daoist Wood Palace, I will take my leave now."
After speaking, Yang Jing wrapped his sleeves, gathered his disciples into his Inner World, and, leading the Jade Poison Great Saint, transformed into a streak of Tunneling Light and returned to Dawn Island.
When he arrived at Dawn Island, Si Taizhen was already standing on a reef, gazing out with anxious anticipation.
Seeing Yang Jing return, she said with a beaming smile:
"Yang Minister, I knew those Demons couldn’t hurt you."
Yang Jing’s gaze darkened.
"Why aren’t you in the Quiet Chamber adjusting your state to prepare for Nascent Soul Formation?"
He knew better than anyone the dangers of Nascent Soul Formation. While the risk of shattering one’s Pill could be averted with a Nascent Soul Pill, a single misstep during the inner demon trial could not be overcome by the pill, and it would not save one’s life.
"My mind was suddenly filled with distracting thoughts, and my heart was pounding with anxiety. I couldn’t enter a state of tranquility no matter what. I knew something had happened, so I came out of the Quiet Chamber."
As Si Taizhen spoke, her gaze fell upon the Jade Poison Great Saint.
When the Jade Poison Great Saint saw Si Taizhen, it was as if he had seen a ghost. He first lowered his head to avoid his daughter’s gaze, but when he saw there was no escape, he fell to his knees on the reef, tears and snot streaming down his face.
"My child, your father had no choice! Your father wanted to break through to the Divinity Transformation realm too badly! I was bewitched by Elder Danxia and went astray, that’s how I made such a terrible mistake! Please, forgive your father! I’m kowtowing to you!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed with a THUD, THUD. Because his physical body was so tough, he smashed a large hole directly into the reef.
"That day in the Pill Furnace, I said it. My father’s essence, my mother’s blood—if you want it, Father King, then take it all," Si Taizhen said, biting her lip.
"But what crime did my mother commit? For the sake of your grand ambition of Divinity Transformation, you threw her into the furnace and refined her to death right in front of me."
The Jade Poison Great Saint heard the grim turn in her words and began to tremble like a leaf.
"Yang Minister forged this divine spear for me. It has yet to taste blood. Today, let’s use your blood to christen its edge."
A drop of fresh blood trickled from the corner of Si Taizhen’s mouth; in her agitation, she had bitten her own lip.
The Jade Poison Great Saint struggled violently on the reef. ’How can I die here? And at the hands of my own daughter!’
But the Five Elements True Thunder coiled around his body prevented him from mustering even a sliver of Demon Power.
The next moment, a sharp pain shot through his chest as he saw a big spear had pierced straight through it.
His physical body, which could easily block a Flying Sword, had been run through with a single thrust from this big spear.
"A good... a good spear!"
He looked at the determination in his daughter’s eyes and suddenly felt a sense of release.
The next moment, the blazing Nanming Li Fire erupted, setting the Jade Poison Great Saint’s body ablaze.
"Your emotions are in turmoil. You should practice the Five Dragons Hibernation Scripture again to stabilize your mind."
Yang Jing was halfway through his sentence when he saw Si Taizhen drop the spear and throw herself into his arms. A moment later, the sound of choked sobs arose.
Feeling the trembling body in his arms, Yang Jing gently patted her back.
"Elder Danxia died long ago, and now Jade Poison is dead too. You’ve had your revenge."
