The next day.

Outside Holy Pill City.

In a vast, secluded forest stretching endlessly into the distance.

Wei Yang strolled forward alone, his expression relaxed as he walked leisurely through the sea of green trees.

Around him, the chirping of birds, the fragrance of flowers, and the sound of flowing streams could be heard from time to time. He walked with his hands behind his back, as if he were simply out on a spring outing.

When he had gone about a thousand li away from Holy Pill City, he finally came to a slow stop, halting in a rugged, rocky forest filled with jagged boulders.

”This spot has good feng shui.” Wei Yang swept his gaze around and muttered softly to himself.

As soon as his words fell.

”The feng shui is indeed good, boy. Is this the burial ground you’ve chosen for yourself? I must say, good taste.” A sudden voice rang out.

Wei Yang wasn’t the least bit surprised. He chuckled lightly, turned slowly, and lifted his eyes to the sky. There, the void twisted, space rippling outward in layers, and a figure stepped out.

At the same time, a chilling and oppressive aura locked tightly onto Wei Yang. It was an elder in a gray robe, skin pale as snow, his entire presence giving off an eerie femininity. His gaze was sharp and sinister.

He stood in midair, looking down, the corners of his lips curled into a mocking smile.

It was none other than Old Ghost Yin.

”From the moment of the trade fair, you’ve been tailing me.” Wei Yang sat himself calmly upon a stone, straightened his sleeve, and said, ”Forcing trades, bullying the weak — is that the style of your Profound Sky Sect?”

”Hmph, when this old man fancies something, and even offers you a Rank 8 beast flame in exchange, yet you dare not know what’s good for you!”

Old Ghost Yin sneered, ”Since you knew I was watching you, you still dared to come out here. Fine then, have your people behind you come out. This old man would very much like to see who dares meddle in the affairs of Profound Sky Sect.”

”They’ve already come out. They’re right behind you.” Wei Yang said.

Hm?

Hearing this, Old Ghost Yin turned slightly, glancing behind him. But there, everything was calm. He was about to speak when—

The void began to twist, collapsing inward layer by layer, splitting open into a spatial passage like a yawning abyssal maw. From within the darkness, two figures stepped out — one black, one white.

”Such a technique!” Old Ghost Yin’s pupils shrank slightly.

Even without anything else, just this manipulation of space alone was already at the level of perfection.

With just a casual gesture, they had silently opened up a spatial passage and appeared behind him. This kind of ability made Old Ghost Yin’s heart sink a little.

The newcomers were a cold-looking youth of about fifteen or sixteen years of age, and a stunning woman with white hair in white robes.

The woman’s cultivation was at the peak of Three-Star Dou Zun. As for the cold youth — he couldn’t see through him at all.

”This old man is Yin Gui, of Profound Sky Sect.” Old Ghost Yin’s face softened as he cupped his fists courteously, ”And the two of you are?”

”Yin Gui? Never heard of you.” Ah Da sneered, ”Just a mere Four-Star Dou Zun, and you dare play at blocking the road?”

At the side, Xian’er didn’t even spare Old Ghost Yin a glance. Instead, her beautiful eyes held a thoughtful gleam. She was carefully analyzing Ah Da’s earlier use of spatial power.

After condensing her Poison Pill, she had leapt directly into the realm of Dou Zun, reaching Three-Star not long ago, and now she was already at the peak of Three-Star.

As a Woeful Poison Body, her combat strength was naturally strong. But compared to Ah Da, her foundation was still shallow. Her grasp of spatial force was like that of a child — she could not even come close.

At the Dou Zun level, there was still much she had to learn. Her rise had been too fast, leaving many aspects trailing behind. After all, she was just barely over twenty years old.

Still, that wasn’t a real problem. With time, she could slowly accumulate what she needed.

Old Ghost Yin’s brows furrowed.

The Dou Qi Continent was vast, yet at the same time not too vast. At least within the circle of Dou Zun, it wasn’t that large.

Especially those who had reached Three or Four-Star and above — these could already be called veteran experts. Within this circle, most at least knew of each other by reputation.

Yet now, two strong figures had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, completely unfamiliar to him.

”Could it be that the two of you come from overseas?” Old Ghost Yin asked cautiously.

Ah Da did not respond.

”Hmph.”

Seeing this, Old Ghost Yin’s expression grew somewhat unpleasant. With a flick of his sleeve, he said, ”Fine, if you don’t want to speak, then so be it. Since you two insist on butting in, this old man has nothing more to say. But this matter, my Profound Sky Sect will remember. One day, we’ll come to seek proper instruction! For today, we’ll stop here.”

As he spoke, Old Ghost Yin cast a sinister glance at Wei Yang below, unwillingness flashing in his eyes, before turning to leave. Facing two Dou Zun, there was nothing he could do but retreat.

As for that drop of ancient blood essence, he might as well not take it.

”Heh, think you can just leave?” Ah Da sneered coldly, his figure flickering.

In the next instant, a fair hand stretched out from the void, wrapped in pitch-black icy qi. Wherever it passed, even space itself was torn apart, as it struck directly toward Old Ghost Yin’s back.

Hmm?

Already prepared, Old Ghost Yin swiftly turned, sending out a palm strike of his own.

Boom!

Their palms collided, a dull sound erupting as a terrifying storm of energy raged forth. Space quaked violently, collapsing into a small black hole. Both Ah Da and Old Ghost Yin cultivated qi of the cold and sinister attribute.

However, naturally, Ah Da’s was far stronger. That pitch-black icy qi poured endlessly through the clash, invading Old Ghost Yin’s body.

Old Ghost Yin’s expression instantly shifted, his body trembling slightly as black qi surfaced on his face. His entire form became faintly shrouded in that chilling darkness, and even the Dou Qi within him felt as though it was frozen stiff.

”How... how is this possible?!” Old Ghost Yin was utterly shocked.

This cold qi was several times stronger than his own!

His body jerked back violently, each step stamping out a black footprint in the void.

Pfft~

A mouthful of blood spurted out, instantly congealing into black ice before falling. Taking the loss, Old Ghost Yin no longer bothered with words of threat. His figure flickered as he tried to flee at top speed.

Yet—

Chi chi chi~

The sound of space corroding suddenly rang out. Several streaks of grayish-white Dou Qi beams shot forth, carrying a searing heat as they rushed straight at him.

Helpless, Old Ghost Yin could only stop and raise defenses against the incoming beams.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Energy storms erupted wildly. Billowing gray-white poison gas spread out, colliding with his cold qi and releasing endless sizzling noises, each wave radiating a chillingly dreadful aura.

”What vicious poison!” Old Ghost Yin’s face shifted slightly as he cloaked himself with his dark gray icy qi, not daring to touch that terrifying miasma.

His gaze locked tightly on Xian’er. He hadn’t expected that this woman, who looked as ethereal as a celestial fairy, would actually be a poison-attribute cultivator.

The poison’s strength was such that even he felt a profound sense of danger. If touched, he might not die outright, but he’d surely be stripped of a layer of skin.

What a ruthless method!

”What do you two mean by this?” Old Ghost Yin roared angrily. ”This old man has already retreated again and again, don’t push me too far!”

”Push you too far?” Ah Da cackled strangely, ”Jie jie jie~ Old Ghost Yin, its fine when you bully others, but when others bully you, suddenly it’s too much? Today, even if you want to be a ghost, that won’t be so easy!”

As his words fell, a boundless aura surged forth, carrying the might of heaven and earth as it swept out like a tidal wave. Instantly, the surrounding space grew viscous like an ocean, making even movement extremely difficult.

On the other side, Xian’er’s aura also erupted. Endless gray-white poison qi spread outward, surging violently toward Old Ghost Yin.

”You!” Old Ghost Yin’s face grew extremely ugly.

Chi chi chi!

The scorching poison gas clashed with his dark gray icy qi, and even space itself was instantly dissolved into nothingness.

”What kind of poison is this? Not only is it searing hot, but it can even corrode my Cold Nether Qi...”

Ah Da and Xian’er both glared at Old Ghost Yin, their expressions filled with hostility. Their combined auras surged violently, steadily breaking apart the momentum Old Ghost Yin tried to muster.

At this moment, Old Ghost Yin was in utter misery.

On one side was the blazing tide of gray-white poison qi, and on the other, the spreading surge of pitch-black icy qi, freezing the very void.

Assaulted from both cold and heat, he struggled desperately to hold on, like a small boat tossed in a raging storm, ready to capsize at any moment.

If it were one-on-one, he might still have a sliver of hope to escape. But against the joint assault of two such powerhouses, there was little chance.

In the next moment—

Ah Da and Xian’er attacked in unison.

A storm-like barrage of blows poured down madly upon Old Ghost Yin, with no mercy, no testing—only killing intent.

Rumble rumble rumble~

This stretch of void boiled over completely, reduced to dust as chaotic space currents raged in every direction.
