Chapter 203: The Grievously Wounded Ancestor Yunyi, Death Canyon
“Haha, good!” The Mountain-Shifting Ancestor took the Broken Sword and, with his own Tribulation Transcendence cultivation, activated the might of the Immortal Sword.
The previously arrogant Wilderness cultivator’s expression changed drastically. He shot you a venomous glare, as if trying to brand you into his memory, then without a shred of hesitation tore open the void, slipped inside, and vanished.
“Those who offend my Heavenly Blade Sect shall die!” Just when you thought this Wilderness Clan cultivator had successfully escaped, a magnificent voice rang out, making your eyes light up!
In the sky, the void that had just healed was torn open once more. A figure was flung out in a sorry state, and then another figure slowly stepped out. It was Ancestor Yunyi!
“Ancestor!”
Ancestor Yunyi smiled and nodded to you all, then looked toward the Wilderness cultivator thrown to the side, the killing intent in his eyes utterly unconcealed.
“Heh, heh heh, you won’t be jumping around for much longer!” As soon as he said this, the energy within the Tribulation Transcendence Wilderness cultivator began to run wild. These were the signs of an imminent self-destruction!
“Suppress!” A majestic voice rang out from Ancestor Yunyi’s mouth, and the Wilderness Clan cultivator who was about to self-destruct was instantly suppressed by this powerful force!
A mighty Tribulation Transcendence expert was pressed to the ground, kneeling before the gates of the Heavenly Blade Sect, his hands bound, his proud head lowered, as if atoning for his sins.
This scene brought you tremendous shock. The gap brought about by cultivation level was displayed perfectly in this moment.
An opponent you could not defeat even with all your strength was, in the eyes of a Great Vehicle stage Ancestor, merely a matter of a single word!
“Is this the strength of a Great Vehicle stage supreme expert?” you murmured to yourself, while inwardly resolving to cultivate hard and strive to become a Great Vehicle stage expert as soon as possible!
After dealing with this person, Ancestor Yunyi finally looked toward you all. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then suddenly fell from the sky.
You were quick to react, rushing forward to catch Ancestor Yunyi, preventing him from crashing to the ground.
“Go!” you said in a low voice, then took the lead and charged into the sect’s grand formation.
In the sect’s Forbidden Grounds, you once again placed Ancestor Yunyi into the coffin to delay his internal injuries.
“Sigh, what are we to do now!” one Ancestor said with a bitter expression.
“We cannot sit here waiting for death. I will go search for the whereabouts of the other Ancestors!” the Mountain-Shifting Ancestor, the highest-cultivation person present, said in a deep voice.
“No!” you refused. “The sect still needs you here to hold down the fort, Ancestor, in case of the unexpected!”
“Let me go!” Ancestor Mo Yang volunteered.
You glanced at Ancestor Mo Yang. He had little lifespan left to begin with, and after successive great battles, he likely did not have many days left to live.
Afterward, the various Fusion realm Ancestors all volunteered one after another, wanting to go out and search for the whereabouts of the other Ancestors.
You looked at everyone, sighed inwardly, and said, “Ancestors, rest easy. This Sect Master will handle this matter!”
“Ancestors, stay within the sect and focus on healing your injuries!” After saying this, you gave no one a chance to object. You directly used the Shrinking the Earth to an Inch divine ability, and your figure vanished from the sect.
“Death Canyon!” you muttered to yourself. This was the last sentence Ancestor Yunyi had left before falling unconscious.
You took a teleportation formation, passing through several twists and turns, and finally arrived at the city closest to Death Canyon.
“Oh, Fellow Daoist, your forehead is full and purple qi coils around you. At a glance, you are clearly a person of great fortune!” As soon as you stepped out of the teleportation formation, a young cultivator appeared before you, shaking his head as he spoke.
“It’s just a pity that within this purple qi, there seems to be a wisp of black qi coiled around it. I fear your journey this time will not be entirely smooth!”
Your brow furrowed slightly as you sized him up. Mid-stage Return-to-Void realm cultivation. Nothing remarkable.
“But what a coincidence, I have roamed Death Canyon since I was young. I am known as the Death Canyon Terminator!”
“With me around, I guarantee you will make it out of Death Canyon alive!”
You thought for a moment, and ultimately agreed.
You did not know much about Death Canyon. If you could have someone as a guide, it would save you quite a few unnecessary troubles.
Seeing you nod, Sun Wu’s face split into a chrysanthemum-bloom of a smile. He hastily introduced himself. “I am Sun Wu. Fellow Daoist can just call me Little Wu.”
“A flat rate, eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight high-grade spirit stones. I guarantee I will bring you, Fellow Daoist, out of Death Canyon alive!”
“Lead the way!” You casually tossed a storage bag to Sun Wu and said.
“Right away!” Sun Wu caught the storage bag, his smile growing even more brilliant.
“This Death Canyon, you see, is said to be the site of a great battle ten thousand years ago. Many supreme experts fell here, and their Great Dao seeped into this place, forming a land of special rules. This caused the demonic beasts within to mutate, ultimately transforming it into the Death Canyon that strikes terror into the hearts of so many cultivators!”
Along the way, Sun Wu, having pocketed the spirit stones, explained things to you. He also told you many of Death Canyon’s taboos, making sure your spirit stones were not spent in vain.
“We’re here!” Looking at the canyon before you that radiated a dark, gloomy aura, you landed alongside Sun Wu.
“Rule number one of survival in Death Canyon: flying is forbidden!”
“Once, a Tribulation Transcendence great expert violated this rule within Death Canyon, and was ultimately erased by the Power of Law here!” Sun Wu warned.
You nodded, indicating you understood.
“Oh, Sun Wu, got a job?” Just as you entered Death Canyon, several cultivators with severe injuries walked up to you head-on, greeting him with a smile.
“Old Zhang, your wounds?” Sun Wu looked at Old Zhang, who was missing an arm and a leg, somewhat shocked.
“Hah, don’t worry, I won’t die!” Old Zhang waved his hand dismissively.
“Be careful. Things have been a bit unsafe in the canyon lately. Don’t go losing your life here!” Old Zhang sent a voice transmission to Sun Wu.
As a dignified Fusion realm cultivator, you naturally overheard the voice transmission between two Return-to-Void realm cultivators with ease.
“Don’t worry. If something goes wrong, I’ll just run!”
“Alright, Old Zhang, go back and rest up. I’ll be off first!” After bidding Old Zhang farewell, under Sun Wu’s lead, you set out on the road again.
“Fellow Daoist, might I ask what brings you here this time?” Sun Wu asked.
“Looking for someone.”
“Looking for someone?” Sun Wu was stunned for a moment, then asked, “Does Fellow Daoist have a friend here in Death Canyon as well?”
You glanced at Sun Wu and said flatly, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask!”
“Yes, yes!” Sun Wu asked no more, walking ahead of you to lead the way.
Three hours later, Sun Wu stopped in his tracks and warned, “Fellow Daoist, we are about to enter the true Death Canyon. Are you ready?”
