Chapter 4801: Mixed Battle

Half a month had passed. In Heavenly Sand City, inside a secluded manor, Mo Yinyin, Patriarch Qinghou, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Xu Yan, and Liu Yixue were sitting in a teal stone pavilion, discussing the Dao over tea.

"Fairy Mo, it's been so long, and you still haven't reached Fellow Daoist Zhou?" Patriarch Qinghou asked.

"No, Master might be in secluded cultivation; I can't reach him," Mo Yinyin said. "If Fellow Daoist Qing wants to leave, I can escort you out."

"No need to trouble Fairy Mo," Patriarch Qinghou said. "Fellow Daoist Xu can just see me out."

"Xu Yan doesn't know the way out," Mo Yinyin said. "I'll personally escort you out!"

"No rush, let's talk about it later," Patriarch Qinghou said. "I still have many things I'd like to consult Fairy Mo about."

Mo Yinyin looked at Wang Changsheng and the other two. Wang Changsheng said, "We've troubled you for many days, and we're ready to take our leave."

Wang Changsheng had originally thought he could meet Zhou Dian. Since he couldn't meet the real person, being able to contact Zhou Dian would have been acceptable. As neither was possible, remaining there held little meaning.

Mo Yinyin nodded. Just as she was about to speak, her elegant brows furrowed. She took out a yellow-glowing formation plate and cast a spell into it, revealing several light spots on its surface.

"Someone has intruded here," Mo Yinyin said with a frown. "I don't know if they are friend or foe."

"We came here using Fellow Daoist Wang's Ruyi Gate," Patriarch Qinghou asked, puzzled. "Even if someone wanted to follow us, it wouldn't be that easy, would it?"

"How about we go out and take a look?" Xu Yan suggested. "If they're enemies, we fight if we can win, and flee if we can't."

"You stay here and control the formation," Mo Yinyin instructed. "We'll go out and investigate."

In a vast, boundless desert, a massive golden light shot into the sky, accompanied by surging waves of air.

With a scream, Jin He flew out from within the golden light. His aura was weak, his body covered in blood, appearing severely injured.

A golden-glowing giant axe flew out from the golden light and cleaved towards Jin He.

A fierce wind arose. Countless yellow grains of sand were swept up by the strong wind, quickly converging to form a giant yellow sword, which slashed towards the golden giant axe.

With a muffled thud, the giant yellow sword was split in two by the golden giant axe.

Taking this opportunity, Jin He also flew backward, his face full of vigilance.

The golden light dispersed, revealing two ten-colored Chaos Beasts. Judging by their auras, both were at the mid-Dao Ancestor stage.

"Who dares to ruin our plans?" one of the ten-colored Chaos Beasts roared angrily.

"You've intruded upon my territory; consider yourselves unlucky," a cold female voice rang out.

No sooner had the words fallen than a gust of strong wind swept past, and Mo Yinyin and the other four appeared, standing high in the sky, each with a different expression.

"The Multi-Eyed Race! You're from the Multi-Eyed Race," Patriarch Qinghou exclaimed, recognizing Jin He's origin upon seeing his physique and characteristics.

"Are you Fellow Daoist Qinghou? I've seen your portrait," Jin He pleaded, his voice weak. "The Chaos Beasts discovered our clan's hiding place and dispatched multiple Dao Ancestors to deal with us. I fought desperately to break through the encirclement, and I implore you all, fellow Daoists, to help rescue our Great Elder and the others."

"Your Multi-Eyed Race has been fighting the Chaos Beasts to the death since the Primordial Chaos Era; naturally, we won't stand by and do nothing," Mo Yinyin said, nodding as she cast a spell into the yellow formation plate in her hand.

A fierce wind arose. Countless yellow grains of sand surged into the sky, transforming into countless yellow sand blades, covering the sky and sun, stretching as far as the eye could see. These yellow sand blades flew directly towards the two ten-colored Chaos Beasts.

"Quickly, come over here, fellow Daoist," Patriarch Qinghou called out.

Jin He responded and flew towards them.

When he was within a hundred zhang of Mo Yinyin and the others, a fierce wind swept up, and a powerful gravitational force suddenly appeared, causing his body to uncontrollably plunge towards the ground.

At the same time, Liu Yixue's right palm glowed with dazzling white light. She slapped towards the void, and a giant white palm flashed forth, carrying the power of four fundamental laws, heading straight for Jin He.

Jin He had no way to dodge. He threw a punch, and a giant golden fist flashed forth, carrying the power of four fundamental laws, meeting the incoming attack.

The giant golden fist collided with the giant white palm, neutralizing each other and unleashing a powerful wave of air.

After a series of thunderous roars, numerous cracks appeared in the void.

A blue light flashed, and a giant peak shimmering with blue light appeared directly above Jin He's head, plummeting down.

With a loud bang, the giant blue peak sank into the sand pit, emitting a great rumble.

"Did you really think we were fools?" Mo Yinyin sneered. "What a coincidence, escaping the pursuit of Chaos Beasts and just happening to flee here."

"Mo Yinyin, it really is you," a cold male voice rang out.

No sooner had the words fallen than a golden streak of light appeared on the distant horizon and rapidly flew towards their location.

Not long after, the golden streak of light halted.

The light dispersed, revealing a golden-glowing flying boat. Three Chaos Beasts and Jin He stood upon it, led by Gang and Shang.

"Weren't you killed?" Liu Yixue asked in surprise.

"To make you show yourselves, I had no choice but to use a precious Nine-Yang Illusion Immortal Talisman," Jin He sneered.

"Oh no, it's Gang! Retreat quickly," Mo Yinyin exclaimed, her expression growing somewhat flustered upon seeing Gang.

The five of them immediately flew back the way they came. Mo Yinyin cast several spells onto the formation plate, causing a fierce wind to arise and sweep up countless yellow grains of sand, which transformed into numerous yellow sand blades, slashing towards the Chaos Beasts and Jin He.

Just as they were about to fly into Heavenly Sand City, a massive yellow light barrier suddenly appeared, covering the entire Heavenly Sand City.

"Xu Yan, how dare you betray your master and ancestors!" Mo Yinyin raged.

"How is that possible?" Patriarch Qinghou asked, bewildered. "I clearly used a low-grade Dao Artifact to investigate, and Fellow Daoist Xu showed no issues!"

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's brows furrowed deeply. This was not good news. Who would have thought Xu Yan was a traitor?

"He must possess a higher-grade Dao Artifact, specifically designed to counteract Dao Artifact investigations!" Wang Changsheng analyzed.

At this moment, a giant golden fist shot forth, striking towards Mo Yinyin.

All five Chaos Beasts and Jin He launched their attacks. Gang and Jin He focused on Mo Yinyin; Shang confronted Patriarch Qinghou; and Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Liu Yixue each faced one Chaos Beast, while Xu Yan manipulated the formation to attack Mo Yinyin.

The opponents of Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had both opened up four fundamental laws and had even condensed their Dao foundations. It seemed the Chaos Beasts intended to eliminate Mo Yinyin this time.

Both Gang and Shang had opened up seven fundamental laws. Gang possessed one supreme fundamental law, while Shang did not. Both had condensed their Dao foundations and possessed immense power.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and nine Sea-Calming Beads flew out. He chanted a spell, and the nine beads instantly erupted with dazzling blue light, pouring out countless blue seawater. With them at the center, an area extending for hundreds of millions of miles was submerged by the sea.

The seawater churned and surged, and two massive blue water dragons flew out from within, pouncing towards the two ten-colored Chaos Beasts.

The two ten-colored Chaos Beasts each wielded a golden long blade and a teal giant axe. They cleaved towards the void, and a massive golden blade light and a teal axe blade swept forth, striking the blue water dragons precisely.

With thunderous roars, the bodies of the two blue water dragons exploded into countless amounts of seawater. The seawater churned and surged, forming a massive blue water curtain, trapping Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and the two Chaos Beasts within.

Seawater flowed and runes flickered on the surface of the blue water curtain, so Patriarch Qinghou and the others could not clearly see the situation inside.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan held nothing back, attacking with all their might to kill the two ten-colored Chaos Beasts.

On the other side, Mo Yinyin faced the combined assault of Gang, Jin He, and Xu Yan. She was under immense pressure.

Patriarch Qinghou was fighting Shang alone and was still able to cope.
