Chapter 918 - 739: Collision

"What? He’s not of our realm; could he have transformed from an Outer Evil Demon?"

"This guy is indeed strange; he’s been collecting the Martial Soul Book all along. I’ve always found him suspicious!"

"Isn’t he the vice vein master of the Treasure Vase Seal lineage?

What does the Treasure Vase Seal even do, bringing in an infiltrator from another world?!"

Upon hearing the words of Wen Ye, the Lion Seal Vein Master, the scene erupted instantly.

The news was truly explosive.

Throughout the history of the True Profound Continent, otherworldly beings have appeared, but they were mostly scheming Outer Evil Demons, causing bloody chaos and bringing ruin.

The proverb says that those not of our kin must have differing hearts, let alone beings from another world.

No one doubted Wen Ye’s judgment.

The words of martial artists in the True Profound Realm were akin to golden doctrines in the eyes of the people.

Of course, the most shocked were the disciples of the Treasure Vase Seal.

They never imagined that Lou Yi, who had been eating, chatting, training, and living with them over these days, the little uncle they were gradually accepting and familiarizing with, was actually from another world?

A faint feeling of betrayal quietly arose in their hearts.

But this feeling was soon interrupted by Vein Master Zhou Xinghai.

With just one sentence, he made everyone in the Treasure Vase Seal lineage feel relieved.

"No matter where he comes from, has he harmed us?"

Zhou Xinghai’s face showed little emotion, clearly having long suspected something.

After all, when he first encountered Lou Yi, he ran into the unmistakably otherworldly Great Demon Anran; together, they eliminated it.

"That’s right." Since his origins were guessed, Lou Yi did not deny it.

"Where exactly are you from?" Wen Ye’s eyes showed a hint of interest.

"If I tell you, will you let us go?" Lou Yi asked in return.

"That’s impossible." Wen Ye shook his head, expression indifferent, his words cold and merciless, "The Treasure Vase Seal lineage must not participate in the Martial Arts Tournament for ten sessions starting from this session due to harboring an Outer Evil Demon.

As for you, you need to thoroughly explain your origins, or you could spend the rest of your life in prison."

"What if I refuse?"

"Then you’ll have to endure the pain of Soul Search." Wen Ye’s tone was matter-of-fact, as if discussing something trivial.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s heart in the Treasure Vase Seal sank to the bottom of the sea.

Lou Yi’s tragic fate was almost predetermined—to either spend a lifetime in prison or become a fool after enduring the cruel punishment of Soul Search.

And as for the others in the Treasure Vase Seal lineage, being banned from the Martial Arts Tournament for ten sessions, it’s equivalent to the sect being utterly exiled.

Henceforth, no martial artists would join the sect; its decline and extinction were inevitable.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xinghai angrily shouted, "The Treasure Vase Seal is innocent; why are we being punished?

Even if you’re the True Profound, you cannot turn black into white and act recklessly!"

Zhou Xinghai, with his declining Qi-Blood and white hair, shouted out in sorrow and anger, adding to the sense of desolation.

But no one at the scene dared to speak up for him; no one dared to offend the Supreme Profound Truth.

"Brother Zhou, only banishing you from ten sessions of the Martial Arts Tournament is already merciful of Vein Master Wen." The Immortal Crane Seal Vein Master, renowned for his virtue and respect, spoke.

He had white hair, long beard, eyes shining brightly, a slender face, looking like a sage from beyond the world.

At this moment, he advised earnestly, "Your sect accepting an otherworldly Evil Cultivator has committed a grave sin beyond forgiveness.

Had it not been for Vein Master Wen’s early discovery, it might have resulted in a horrendous disaster.

In my opinion, you should actively capture this demon.

If you do so, Vein Master Wen might consider leniency based on past relations."

"Elder He, back then, you were pursued a thousand miles by enemies, life hanging by a thread.

If I hadn’t risked life to save you, would you have what you have today?" Zhou Xinghai replied furiously, "And now to kick me when I’m down, have you no shame?"

Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed across the face of the Immortal Crane Seal Vein Master, who retorted, "Zhou Xinghai, public matters are public, private matters are private, how can they be conflated?

I mean well for you, yet you’re treating me as donkey liver and lungs!"

"Just a sycophant lacking dignity." Yun Jin spoke too, her voice crisp, causing many at the scene to cover their mouths and laugh.

"Silence! You impudent girl, let me teach you what respect for elders means!" The virtuous Immortal Crane Seal Vein Master lost his composure.

With a wave of his sleeve, a milky white pillar of Qi-Blood, as thick as an arm, shot straight towards Yun Jin!

"How dare you!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xinghai and other Treasure Bottle Seal disciples were enraged.

Unexpectedly, the Immortal Crane Seal Vein Master would strike publicly, and against a junior.

Though the Immortal Crane Seal Vein Master’s face was angry, a hint of cunning flashed in his old eyes.

Now is the perfect opportunity to build ties with the new True Profound.

Being the first to act, it was akin to submitting a pledge, surely gaining some favor in their sight.

As for the bad reputation of repaying kindness with hostility, bullying the weak, currying favor with those above while oppressing those below, only the young would care about such things.

Having lived so long, how could he not know that ’benefit’ is the most substantial thing?

The Qi-Blood pillar was getting closer to Yun Jin.

And because the Immortal Crane Seal Vein Master’s action was too sudden, Treasure Vase Seal Lineage was somewhat unresponsive.

’Bang!’

At the critical moment, a hand blocked the front of the Qi-Blood pillar.

Letting it burst into countless sparks on the palm’s surface while remaining motionless.

"What?!" The Immortal Crane Seal Vein Master’s expression changed, wanting to continue increasing his output.

’Pat!’

A red light flashed.

In the next moment, he was sent flying, turning into a parabola, heavily crashing into a building, smashing it to pieces.

When he climbed up in a fit of rage.

Everyone could see the fresh red palm print on his right cheek, the trickle of blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, and a few broken teeth visible.

"Disrespectful old man, deserves a slap on the face." Lou Yi said.

With his current strength, slapping someone from afar was all too easy.

"Bold junior, how dare you commit violence publicly!" Seeing Lou Yi so brazen, daring to hit a person in front of True Profound, a few henchmen were furious.

’Whoosh!’

A crimson silver lion, hundreds of feet tall, suddenly appeared in the void, with every strand of fur standing erect like steel spears, pouncing towards Lou Yi’s position.

A similarly sized white tiger, as if originating from ancient wastelands, ran at lightning speed, targeting Lou Yi’s location.

There was also a mountain-sized red giant ape, raising both claws as if capable of tearing apart the sun and moon, fiercely grabbing towards Lou Yi’s position.

It was Vice Lion Seal Vein Master Meng Yuan, White Tiger Seal Vein Master, and Ape King Seal Vein Master Cao Xuegang striking simultaneously.

All three were at the Peak of True Martial Realm, only a step away from the Third Realm, unrivaled without True Profound’s emergence.

Any one of them could easily destroy a city or obliterate a faction.

The three striking at once bore the power of heaven collapsing and earth shattering, causing the surrounding void to tremble fiercely, ready to be torn at any moment.

In today’s world, few could withstand the combined attack of the three.

However, a Treasure Bottle emitting multicolor light silently appeared, carrying a constant, timeless, immovable mountain-like aura.

The halos of seven colors continuously expanded outward, resembling an infinite ocean, trapping the crimson silver lion, white tiger, and red giant ape within, unable to escape easily.

Obviously, even the Vein Master of the top three schools’ combined attack couldn’t break the defense of the Treasure Bottle.

"A Treasure Bottle of seven-color tier, not even a few ancestors in our history could achieve this!" Zhou Xinghai exclaimed in shock.

There was another thing he dared not say.

Lou Yi had studied the Treasure Vase Seal for only a few days, yet his mastery of the mental method surpassed his own?

"So powerful, this outsider’s strength is remarkably strong, comparable to the top-tier Great Vein Master at their peak, among the best in the world!"

"Someone of such high strength willingly staying in the declining Treasure Bottle Seal sect, his ambitions must be immense!"

"Luckily, our realm produced a new True Profound, otherwise his plot might succeed..."

The spectators watching Lou Yi’s might were very shocked.

Primarily because he was too young.

Martial Arts greatly value accumulation, usually, the older the age, the deeper the power.

"Hmm? Interesting. Achieving this at such an age wouldn’t be considered lacking in any world." Magic Cultivator Wen Ye, his eyes showing a hint of surprise, "Let me see where exactly you come from."

’Boom!’

The next moment, a terrifying aura belonging to Supreme Profound Truth appeared.

Like the rising sun, causing everyone present to shiver involuntarily, feeling intensely hot, generating the illusion of themselves being ice about to melt.
