Chen Zheng finished packing up and casually tossed a Jade Talisman to Chu Hongyi. He then took a light step forward, his indifferent gaze sweeping over Zhuge Tianyu, Zhuge Qingyue, and the several hundred cultivators. He shook his head slightly. "Since you're so intent on courting death, this young master will send you on your way."

BOOM!

An immense and boundless aura erupted from him!

"Late-stage Nascent Soul!"

"Impossible!"

"You think you can contend with me at just the late stage of Nascent Soul?!"

"You're courting death!"

The expressions on Zhuge Tianyu and the others changed dramatically as they all roared in anger.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

In an instant, hundreds of cultivators summoned their magical artifacts and sent them smashing furiously toward Chen Zheng!

"Let's see you survive this!" A vicious glint flashed in Zhuge Qingyue's eyes. With a harsh shout, he activated the black feather fan-shaped magical treasure, which transformed into a black wind that slashed forward!

CRACK!

With a flicker of black light, the magical artifacts summoned by the hundreds of cultivators all shattered!

"No—" the cultivators screamed in horror.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

In the next moment, their physical bodies exploded, leaving behind nothing but mutilated corpses.

Chu Hongyi's eyes widened. What just happened? The hundreds of Golden Core Stage cultivators Zhuge Tianyu brought were annihilated in an instant! Although I guessed that Chen Zheng was terrifying, I never imagined that his aura alone could slaughter hundreds of cultivators!

"Chu Hongyi!"

At that moment, even Chu Qingyue was staring in utter shock.

"You monster! How dare you kill hundreds of my Zhuge Family members! You're dead! You are so dead!"

From the distance, Zhuge Tianyu charged over, looking completely crazed. He was drenched in fresh blood and covered in sword wounds. He had seen the entire scene clearly—this bastard had crushed hundreds of his clansmen with his aura alone!

"The Zhuge Family!" Chu Hongyi shouted coldly. "Zhuge Tianyu, my father, Chu Tianming, once saved your Zhuge Family's ancestor! Without him, your ancestor would have been killed by an ungrateful beast like you!"

"Bullshit! You foolish girl, what do you know! That old scoundrel Chu Tianming didn't deserve to live!" Zhuge Tianyu growled fiercely.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, he formed hand seals with both hands.

HUM!

A strange formation array rose into the air. With a flash, he disappeared into it.

"Chu Hongyi! You'd better stay put. Otherwise, I'll detonate the formation, and you'll be buried along with me! I advise you not to resist. This formation was personally set by our Ancestor. Not even I can break it!" Inside the formation, Zhuge Tianyu's face was a mask of utter ferocity.

"Hmph! A mere formation!" Chu Hongyi snorted.

BOOM!

However, in the next second, Chu Hongyi's brow furrowed. She found herself unable to break free from the formation's restraints.

"That's more like it. As long as you obey, Chu Hongyi, I guarantee I'll let you leave the Yin Sha Holy Spring safe and sound!" Zhuge Tianyu let out a sinister laugh from within the formation.

"Zhuge Tianyu! My father saved your ancestor's life, yet you repay kindness with ingratitude! You're a beast, pure trash! Aren't you afraid of my father's return?" Chu Hongyi glared at the formation.

"Return? Haha! Chu Tianming has been dead for ages! He can't return! Chu Hongyi, stop wasting your breath. You have two choices! First, hand over the Yin Sha Holy Spring, sever your arms, and leave. Otherwise, I won't mind killing you myself, little girl! As for the second choice... I do have a way to help you successfully transcend your tribulation. All you have to do is give the Yin Sha Holy Spring to me!" Zhuge Tianyu roared viciously again.

"In your dreams!" Chu Hongyi gritted her teeth.

"Then don't blame me for ruthlessly crushing a flower!" Zhuge Tianyu roared.

BOOM!

He shot streams of spiritual patterns into the Yin Sha Holy Spring!

RUMBLE!

Instantly, the Yin Sha Holy Spring began to boil!

WHOOSH!

A massive, vicious soul condensed from the spring.

"ROAR!"

The fierce soul roared at the sky, its terrifying aura sweeping across the entire space at the bottom of the Yin Sha Holy Spring.

"This… is this the True Dragon that was sleeping in the Yin Sha Holy Spring?"

"It's terrifying!"

"Is this the might of a True Dragon? This one must be comparable to a Deity Transformation cultivator!"

"It's over! Chu Hongyi is done for!" the spectating cultivators exclaimed.

"Zhuge Tianyu! You have doomed me! Today, I shall devour all of you!" At that moment, the True Dragon within the Yin Sha Holy Spring let out a long howl.

ROAR!

It snapped its eyes open, and a stream of ferocious flames burst forth!

BOOM!

It leaped up and pounced toward Zhuge Tianyu and the others!

HISS!

The spectating cultivators shivered with dread.

"You beast! What do you think you're doing! My Zhuge Family holds no grudge against you, yet you attack me!" Zhuge Tianyu was both shocked and enraged. He frantically activated the black banner in his hand, which emitted a towering demonic qi that transformed into chains to block the True Dragon's path.

WHOOSH!

However, the moment the chains touched the True Dragon, they shattered to pieces!

SPURT!

Zhuge Tianyu spat out a mouthful of blood. Clutching the black banner, he stumbled back thirty or forty feet before steadying himself.

"Chu Hongyi, run!" Chu Qingyue screamed before turning to flee.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The other Golden Core cultivators of the Chu Family also turned and fled for their lives.

"Chu Hongyi, if you don't run, I'll slaughter you first!" Zhuge Tianyu roared, raising his hand and casting another black spell that transformed into a black fog and enveloped Chu Hongyi.

CRACK! CRACK!

Chu Hongyi heard the sound of her bones cracking, followed by an intense, overwhelming pain, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at every inch of her skin. Her face paled instantly, and her body fell backward uncontrollably.

"Chu Hongyi! You shouldn't have provoked me! Let me tell you, I have already released the Ancient Demon suppressed within the Yin Sha Holy Spring. You must hand over the Holy Spring today, or I will detonate it and make you and that old bastard Chu Tianming die with me!" Zhuge Tianyu's face grew more ferocious, a twisted excitement showing through his rage.

"Kyehehe! The Yin Sha Holy Spring! The Yin Sha Holy Spring! This is my Holy Spring, and no one can take it from me!"

At this time, from the depths of the Yin Sha Holy Spring, the immensely ghastly behemoth let out a sinister laugh.

"No!" Chu Hongyi screamed.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The Yin Sha Holy Spring trembled violently.

BOOM!

It suddenly erupted!

GUSH! GUSH!

Billowing clouds of dense demonic qi rolled out. In an instant, a horrifying demonic might filled the air.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The deafening roar was unceasing.

"Aah!"

In the first clash, Zhuge Tianyu and the others were severely wounded.

"Zhuge Tianyu! You fool! Did you think you could stop me with this trash?" the ferocious demon cackled, scanning the surroundings before its gaze settled on Chu Hongyi. "I will devour you! Once I devour your Yin and Yang Creation Profound Veins, I will awaken completely and dominate the Eastern Domain! I've never tasted a female cultivator like you before! Heh heh heh!"

The sound of his sinister, eerie laughter echoed. Chu Hongyi's delicate body trembled violently.

"No!" Zhuge Tianyu howled miserably.

WHOOSH!

At that exact moment, the jade bracelet on Chu Hongyi's wrist vibrated. An apparition flashed out of it, streaking straight toward the ferocious demon.

"Hmm?" The ferocious demon raised an eyebrow. It cast a cold glance at the apparition, seemingly unconcerned, and kept its eyes fixed on Chu Hongyi.
