Chapter 4773: Slaying the False Dao Ancestor

On the Continent of Chaos, at Qinglian Immortal Island.

Inside a secluded manor, Wang Qingbai, Wang Qingfeng, Ye Haitang, Wang Qiulin, Wang Yingjie, Wang Yidao, and Liu Hongxue were seated in an azure stone pavilion, engaged in a discussion.

Ye Haitang had personally intervened, dispersing the Chen family immortals. She then set up a grand formation and easily broke through it, confirming it was a trap. They captured four Grand Luo Golden Immortals and used the Tier-4 secret talisman, Qiankun Puppet Transformation Talisman, to control Liu Zhi and his three companions.

The Qiankun Puppet Transformation Talisman was a secret talisman specifically developed by Wang Ruyan, capable of controlling Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

“I’ll go!” said Ye Haitang. “I can set up formations to trap them. From what they revealed, these two are only at the early Dao Ancestor stage, so I can handle them.”

“Count me in,” Wang Yidao volunteered.

“I’ll go too! It’s better to be safe,” Wang Qingfeng offered. He could now forge low-grade Dao artifacts.

“I’m coming too! How dare they target our family? We must eliminate them!” Wang Yingjie declared, his face filled with killing intent.

“Count me in,” Liu Hongxue volunteered to fight.

“Alright, then! The five of us will go after them,” Wang Qingfeng proposed. “Qingbai, you make a trip to the Purple Profound Immortal Realm. Send out a large number of people to search for Xinghai and the others. At the same time, blockade the Purple Profound Immortal Realm to create a diversion and mislead them.”

“What if Shu Feng is with a powerful Chaos Beast?” Wang Qiulin asked.

“To be safe, bring the Ruyi Gate,” Wang Qingfeng suggested. “With the Linglong Boat, as long as they aren’t experts who have developed four fundamental laws, we’ll have a chance to escape.” The Linglong Boat was a low-grade flying Dao artifact, obtained as a contingency left by Dao Ancestor Fuyue on Sky Island.

“Also, bring some Tier-5 immortal talismans,” Ye Haitang added. “If we can’t win, we’ll run. Uncle is currently developing his third fundamental law, so there’s no need to disturb him with such a minor matter.” During the last Immortal-Chaos War, Wang Qingshan, Wang Mengbin, Wang Qingling, and Wang Qingxiao had taken action. Now that they found pseudo-immortals at the early Dao Ancestor stage, it was naturally their turn to act.

Wang Qingbai nodded. “It’s settled then. All of you, be extra careful.”

“We will,” Ye Haitang replied. “Let’s split up.”

After discussing the details, they split up and acted separately.

In the Profound Flame Immortal Realm, a sea area was shrouded in white mist, obscuring everything beneath it.

Beneath the white mist, a massive island floated high in the sky, where, in a quiet manor, Shu Feng and Cai Yun were conversing.

“The Wang family reacted incredibly fast, blockading over a dozen immortal realms in one go,” Shu Feng said with a hint of relief. “Thankfully, Liu Zhi reacted quickly, or he would have been trapped in the Purple Profound Immortal Realm.”

“Indeed!” Cai Yun agreed. “Wang Qingbai personally led a large number of Wang family members to the Purple Profound Immortal Realm for investigation. They offered a hefty reward for the culprits, with those providing crucial clues potentially receiving immortal elixirs and remedies capable of helping them reach the Dao Ancestor stage.”

Shortly after Liu Zhi departed, Wang Qingbai, a Dao Ancestor of the Wang family, personally led a team to the Purple Profound Immortal Realm, blockading over a dozen immortal realms and capturing culprits, causing widespread alarm.

“By my reckoning, Liu Ting should be back soon,” Shu Feng remarked. He had sent Liu Ting to meet with Liu Zhi, who was to hand over the four Grand Luo Golden Immortals from the Wang family to her, with Liu Ting then responsible for bringing them back.

No sooner had he spoken than he took out a shimmering white Immortal Transmission Mirror. He activated it with a mystic art, and the mirror surface glowed with white light, revealing a graceful woman in a golden dress.

“Senior Shu, I’ve returned,” the woman in the golden dress said.

“Liu Ting, were there any abnormalities on your way?” Shu Feng inquired.

“No, I observed for a while and found nothing unusual,” Liu Ting replied.

“Alright! I’ll open the barrier for you to enter,” Shu Feng said.

Cai Yun took out a shimmering white formation disc and activated it with a mystic art.

The white mist churned and parted, revealing a path. Liu Ting flew in, heading towards the massive island.

“Just release them,” Shu Feng instructed.

Liu Ting flicked her sleeve, and a shimmering azure orb flew out. She activated it with a mystic art, causing the azure orb to spin rapidly and emit dazzling azure light. Immediately, Wang Qingfeng, Wang Yidao, Wang Yingjie, and Liu Hongxue appeared.

At the same time, a wailing sound filled the air. Around the giant island, for hundreds of trillions of miles, chilling gusts of wind swept through, and vast amounts of dark energy surged from the sea, obscuring the sky and sun.

“Dao Ancestors of the Wang family!” Shu Feng and Cai Yun’s expressions drastically changed. They had never imagined that Liu Ting would release Dao Ancestors from the Wang family—and four of them at once.

Wang Yidao, holding a long golden saber, swung it, unleashing an immense golden saber light that swept towards Shu Feng and Cai Yun.

Almost simultaneously, Wang Qingfeng and the other two also made their moves, either unleashing Dao artifacts or activating fundamental laws, attacking Shu Feng and Cai Yun.

Shu Feng’s right fist flared with white light. He punched out, and a massive white fist projection flashed forth, causing numerous white ice shards to appear in the void, and the sea surface to freeze.

The golden saber light collided with the white fist projection, nullifying each other.

Shu Feng frowned, seeing a golden saber phantom above Wang Yidao’s head. He grimaced and said, “A Dao Foundation! You’ve condensed a Dao Foundation.” He had not yet condensed a Dao Foundation, as the Chaos Beasts had not taught the method for doing so. The Chaos Beasts used pseudo-immortals but also guarded against them. Only when pseudo-immortals achieved great merits would the Chaos Beasts bestow good things, not all good things. There was still a difference between a master and a dog. Shu Feng had cultivated two fundamental laws—one ordinary and one special. Wang Yidao, though currently only having developed one fundamental law of the saber, had condensed a Dao Foundation. When comparing just fundamental laws, they were evenly matched.

A golden-armored warrior, its entire body shimmering with golden light, flew over and punched towards Shu Feng.

Shu Feng hastily brought out a shimmering white flying saber and struck the golden-armored warrior, producing a muffled clang of metal on metal.

“A Tier-5 immortal puppet!” Shu Feng exclaimed in alarm. Over the past tens of millions of years, the Wang family had amassed a large quantity of Tier-5 immortal materials. Wang Qingfeng had used them to refine Tier-5 immortal puppets, which possessed the strength of a Dao Ancestor. Of course, this particular Tier-5 immortal puppet was only effective against early-stage Dao Ancestors.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Cai Yun quickly unleashed several mystic arts into the white formation disc. The massive island shook violently and vanished from its original spot.

The next moment, the giant island reappeared within a sea of black mist, where wailing sounds resonated continuously.

“Using her body as a formation! A Tier-5 immortal formation master!” Shu Feng gasped.

“There’s no point in putting up a desperate struggle; you’ll remain here!” Ye Haitang’s cold voice resonated from the sky.

No sooner had she spoken than the black mist sea churned and surged, and an enormous black ghostly claw appeared, swatting towards Shu Feng and Cai Yun.

Wang Qingfeng and the other three also launched their attacks simultaneously.

Cai Yun and Shu Feng’s hiding place was protected by a grand formation, but Ye Haitang, by transforming her body into a formation, had enveloped their hiding place as well. Escaping was simple: either break the formation with powerful divine abilities or high-grade Dao artifacts, or eliminate Ye Haitang.

With Ye Haitang and the other four working together, Shu Feng and Cai Yun had no way to escape.

In less than fifteen minutes, they were annihilated, and their nascent souls were captured.

Ye Haitang used the formation to interrogate the nascent souls. Trapped in an illusion, the nascent souls revealed everything they knew.

Wang Qingfeng searched the island and found over three thousand Tier-5 immortal materials, and a total of two low-grade Dao artifacts. It was also discovered that Shu Feng and Cai Yun practiced the secret art of opening nine apertures.

“I thought they were formidable, but it turns out they were just paupers,” Wang Qingfeng commented.

“They know the whereabouts of a powerful Chaos Beast,” Ye Haitang stated. “We should go back and inform Uncle and Aunt. This isn’t something we can handle on our own.”

They took away the immortal island and departed from the area.
