Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, an iron sword suddenly slipped from his hand, and then he slashed down in Lin Yi's direction.

boom!

As the sword fell, the primordial energy of heaven and earth seemed to boil at that moment. A towering sword beam tore through the heavens and earth, enveloping Lin Yi at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

call out!

Before Lin Yi could make a move, a powerful gray light suddenly roared from the horizon and collided heavily with the sword light, instantly creating a deafening sound.

"Chen Kui, this is a feud between my Yuan Sect and the Dao Sect. Why are you interfering?"

A tremendous wave swept outwards, and the little Yuan King Yuan Cang's eyes narrowed slightly. Then, a gloomy and indifferent voice rang out.

"Chen Kui? That guy who's ranked number one on the sect's wanted list?"

Why would he help the Dao Sect?

As soon as Yuan Cang finished speaking, a commotion arose in the surrounding world, and many people's faces showed extreme astonishment.

"call out!"

Amidst the uproar, a rainbow of light streaked across the distant sky, eventually transforming into two figures that appeared in mid-air.

Lin Yi suddenly looked up at the two figures in mid-air, but his attention was more focused on the petite figure in one of them.

"Hehe, Brother Lin Yi!"

In the sky, the beautiful figure turned around, and a happy smile appeared on her exceptionally delicate and pretty face.

"Qingtan, what are you doing here?"

Lin Yi stared at the beautiful figure and feigned surprise.

Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan also looked at the exceptionally beautiful girl in mid-air with some curiosity.

The girl was about the same age as Ying Huanhuan. She was dressed in a dark dress, had a slender figure, and was quite beautiful. Her beautiful eyes were full of liveliness, like talking elves.

This appearance was none other than Qing Tan, who had left in a different way after Lin Yi left the Great Yan Dynasty.

Behind Qingtan, there was a man standing in mid-air. The aura emanating from his body was quite powerful, and there was half a ghost mask on his face, which gave him a more eerie feeling.

Ying Xiaoxiao and the others were no strangers to this unique appearance. Ghost-faced Chen Kui, ranked first on the Eastern Xuan Domain sect wanted list, was quite famous to them.

At this moment, the two people in mid-air became the focus of everyone's attention. Of course, more solemn gazes fell on the Ghost-Faced Puppet, presumably because the latter's title as the number one on the sect's wanted list was quite intimidating.

"Get down," Lin Yi said, looking at Qing Tan with an expressionless face.

"Oh," Qingtan responded, her graceful figure landing in front of Lin Yi.

"Do your father and mother know you've come out?" Lin Yi asked, looking at Qing Tan in front of him.

"Mmm," Qingtan nodded quickly.

"Didn't we agree that you would stay home with your parents? Don't you know it's dangerous outside?" Lin Yi said, ruffling Qing Tan's hair.

“If you’re not afraid, then I’m not afraid either,” Qingtan raised her little face, stubborn yet aggrieved. “I can become very strong too. I want to help you protect Dad and Mom… And, I miss you.”

Lin Yi patted the girl's head and said softly, "I know you've grown up, but you must protect yourself when you're out there. If you encounter any trouble, remember to ask me for help."

"Mmm," Qing Tan's eyes shone with a joyful expression, as if she had been granted a pardon. Then she smiled sweetly and naturally stretched out her arms, just like many years ago, and took Lin Yi's arm.

As Qingtan took Lin Yi's arm, a slight smile secretly appeared on her lips. However, the moment that smile appeared, she noticed a bright gaze fixed on her.

Then she looked up and saw Ying Huanhuan sitting cross-legged behind her, her jade hands resting on the emerald green zither. At this moment, the latter was staring intently at her.

Qingtan secretly stuck out her tongue, then winked at Ying Huanhuan, her big eyes conveying a "you know what I mean, don't expose me" message.

Seeing this, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but want to laugh. She winked at Qing Tan, and then the two girls, who were about the same age, seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.

"Brother Lin Yi, this is my senior brother, Chen Kui. We owe our trip to him, and he was the one who escorted us," Qing Tan said, turning her head and pointing to Chen Kui.

"My name is Lin Yi. Thank you, Brother Chen Kui," Lin Yi said, cupping his hands in thanks to Chen Kui.

"Ah, no, no, Brother Lin Yi, you're too kind. I was just following my master's orders," Chen Kui said hastily, bowing in return. His appearance surprised Ying Xiaoxiao, Wang Yan, and the others.

Then, Chen Kui introduced Lin Yi to the name of their sect and its location.

Lin Yi then introduced Qingtan to the Dao Sect members.

After the introductions were completed, Lin Yi patted Qing Tan's arm and said softly, "Step back a bit, let me take care of some trouble."

All eyes were focused on the area where the Dao Sect was located. The sudden scene that had just occurred had clearly caused a slight change in the situation.

Everyone was looking at Lin Yi's location, their expressions varied.

Amidst a sea of ​​gazes, Lin Yi slowly stepped out, then turned his gaze towards the Yuan Gate and spoke indifferently:

"This area is not exclusive to your Yuan Sect, and whether my Dao Sect disciples remain here is not something your Yuan Sect can decide. If you want to bring forward the decisive battle between the Dao Sect and Yuan Sect disciples, we will fight to the bitter end!"

Yuan Cang, the young king, narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing like a blade. He lightly traced his fingers across the iron sword in his hand, then said calmly, "Do you think that having a helper gives you the courage to provoke my Yuan Sect?"

"Why would we need help? If your Yuan Sect wants to make a move now, we'll gladly oblige," Lin Yi said calmly.

Ying Xiaoxiao and the other Dao Sect disciples also stood up abruptly, all standing behind Lin Yi, ready to fight at any moment!

Seeing this, all the disciples of the Yuan Sect gathered around Yuan Cang and the other two.

Instantly, tensions rose between the two sides, and a major battle was about to break out!

The expressions of everyone present shifted as they witnessed this scene, secretly hoping that the two sides would immediately clash...

Chapter 260 Ancient Treasure Unveiled

Boom boom!

Just then, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the space in the center of the basin. Countless gazes were immediately drawn to it in surprise, and then they saw that the space was distorted.

Faintly, within the distorted space, it seemed as if ancient palaces of extraordinary antiquity appeared, an aura of vicissitudes formed by the passage of time permeating the space and spreading throughout the world.

"The Ancient Treasury of Burning Heaven!"

As this strange phenomenon appeared, a chorus of excited exclamations erupted across the land, and then the gazes suddenly turned fiery and even greedy.

They gathered here not to watch the Yuan Sect and the Dao Sect fight, but for the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury hidden here!

Everyone stared intently at the distorted space, where they could vaguely see ancient palace buildings, but this space still showed no signs of being fully opened, as if it lacked the key to unlock it.

All eyes were drawn to each other, but in the end, they all turned to Yuan Cang.

The reason they came here was because they received news that Yuanmen was able to open the ancient treasure this time, and judging from the current situation, it seems that the only way to open the ancient treasure is to rely on Yuanmen.

Yuan Cang was clearly aware of the gazes gathering around him. His eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly:

"Our purpose here is to obtain the Ancient Treasury of Burning Heaven. Once the matter of the Ancient Treasury is over, I will come to find you. I hope you will still be as confident as you are now at that time."

Yuan Cang realized that Lin Yi's strength was indeed not weak. With Chen Kui assisting him, even if they could defeat the Dao Sect disciples, it would probably take some time and effort, which might delay the opening of the ancient treasure. Moreover, other super sects might also benefit from this.

Therefore, Yuan Cang suppressed his impulse to fight the Dao Sect. He was confident that he could gain something from the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, and then dealing with the Dao Sect would be much easier.

"I'll wait," Lin Yi said calmly, ignoring Yuan Cang's thoughts.

Yuan Cang didn't say anything more. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he clenched his fist, and a fiery red light appeared in his hand. Within that ball of light, it seemed as if a flame was burning.

Yuan Cang tossed his hand, and the ball of fiery red light flew out, leaving a trail of fire as it shot directly towards the distorted space.

Chi Chi!

When the firelight touched that distorted space, ripples of fiery red light immediately spread outwards.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that the distorted space began to tear apart, and behind the torn distorted space, endless flames seemed to emerge, and an ancient and boundless aura emanated from it, as if returning to the ancient land.

boom!

As that distorted space tore apart, the atmosphere in this world suddenly became intense, and countless gazes became extremely fervent at this moment.

The Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury is a very famous ancient treasury in the Otherworldly Demon Realm. It is said that it contains not only many powerful ancient martial arts, spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, but also many treasures passed down from ancient times.

Among them, there are even pure Yuan treasures. These rumors are enough to make many people covet this ancient treasure.

"call out!"

The silence lasted only a moment, then the sound of wind breaking through the air rang out, and several figures approaching the torn space were already rushing towards the opened ancient treasure.

Yuan Cang stared indifferently at the figures, showing no sign of stopping them.

"Wait a minute," Lin Yi waved his hand, stopping the Dao Sect disciples who were also somewhat impatient.

"what……"

The next instant, the several figures that had rushed into the crimson world let out a series of shrill screams, their bodies spontaneously combusting in an extremely bizarre way, turning into ashes in the blink of an eye.

The sudden scene was like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's hearts, and many people's eyes showed fear.

At the very front, the disciples of Yuanmen suddenly began to retreat in large numbers, leaving only a few dozen figures behind. These figures all possessed extremely powerful auras and, without exception, had all reached the level of the Eighth Yuan Nirvana.

These disciples who had reached the Eighth Nirvana Realm, led by Yuan Cang, flew directly into the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury.

This time, however, no screams were heard, clearly indicating that their strength had reached the limit to withstand that intense heat.

“Disciples at the Eighth Nirvana Realm or above, follow us into the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury. The rest of you, wait here quietly,” Ying Xiaoxiao said decisively upon seeing this scene.

The disciples of the Dao Sect quickly dispersed, with Lin Yi and Ying Xiaoxiao leading the Dao Sect disciples at the Eighth Yuan Nirvana Realm and above, flying towards the crimson world beyond the distorted space.

As Lin Yi's body swept into that distorted space, he could clearly feel an extremely violent heat suddenly erupting from his body, a heat that seemed to set his body ablaze.

With a thought, Lin Yi unleashed his vast Yuan Power, directly suppressing the intense heat completely.

Just as Lin Yi suppressed the intense heat within his body, he suddenly noticed signs of disorder in the surrounding space. Then he discovered that Ying Xiaoxiao and the others who had entered the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury with him had all vanished without a trace.

Lin Yi looked around and saw a crimson land before him. A wave of heat rose from the land, making the space itself seem distorted.

Lin Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and then he took a step forward, walking directly towards the distant red earth.

As Lin Yi walked, he could see that this crimson land was riddled with countless ravines of all sizes, as if it had witnessed countless battles. In some of the crimson sand, there were also some broken weapons, exuding a sense of desolation.

Clearly, a major battle once took place here!

Lin Yi walked on this crimson land for a while, then suddenly looked up. In the distorted space not far ahead, a figure appeared and disappeared, and after a moment, it came into full view of Lin Yi.

The figure, with a thin veil over her face and jade feet treading on blue lotus, was none other than Ling Qingzhu.

"We meet again so soon. It seems we are quite destined to be together," Lin Yi said with a faint smile when he saw Ling Qingzhu.

Ling Qingzhu gave Lin Yi a strange look. "Weren't you affected by the formation?"
