Aged Blackrock remained unperturbed against the raging Patriarch Pillheart. He just stood there, and no matter how furious Patriarch Pillheart was, he eventually restrained himself. He did not dare attack Aged Blackrock.
"Yi Yun, well done. Very well done!" Patriarch Pillheart's eyes shimmered with dense killing intent as he said through clenched teeth.
And at that moment, Ling Xie'er rubbed her tummy in the array. Her face revealed a look of dissatisfaction.
"Brother, the taste of this Poison Fire is so average," grumbled Ling Xie'er.
Patriarch Pillheart, who had just made a threatening remark, nearly spewed out blood. He clenched his teeth so hard that they nearly shattered. Yi Yun had devoured his intrinsic fire seed and yet, he was complaining that his fire seed did not taste good!
However, after devouring the fire toad, Ling Xie'er's aura immediately rose a little. She had replenished some of the energy she had expended.
As her energy was transmitted to various spots in the Herb Nurturing Array, the spots that looked like they were on the brink of collapse actually calmed down a little.
The Herb Nurturing Array had been forcefully repressed by Ling Xie'er once again.
Now, the array was extremely violent. Any change could cause the array to completely explode. However, as the Herb Nurturing Array calmed down a little, Nine Li Magus Maiden and company saw a glimmer of hope.
The eyes of the infuriated High Priest flashed. Although he still did not think that Yi Yun could restore the Herb Nurturing Array to its original state, any change was good in times of despair.
At that moment, Ling Xie'er licked her lips as she swept her gaze across Ouming Yin's fire seed, the Fire Centipede and the Fire of Seven Emotions.
The scene of Ling Xie'er swallowing the Fire Toad had already made the two fire seeds tremble in fear. Now that they saw Ling Xie'er looking at them, how could they not know what Ling Xie'er was thinking? They immediately felt as if their souls were about to leave their bodies.
"Sister, good sister, I can help you. I can return all the energy I absorbed to you … Don't come over … Master, save me!" The Fire of Seven Emotions curled into a ball as she screamed at Alchemist Sage Purple Gold.
And at that moment, Alchemist Sage Purple Gold was already looking at Yi Yun with surging killing intent.
"Yi Yun, how audacious of you!"
After devouring Patriarch Pillheart's fire seed, he actually dared to target his Fire of Seven Emotions!
The grade of the Fire of Seven Emotions far exceeded that of the Fire Toad and Fire Centipede. Alchemist Sage Purple Gold and his predecessors had invested a great deal of effort and resources into the Fire of Seven Emotions. He absolutely would not permit Yi Yun to do so.
At that moment, even Aged Blackrock looked at Yi Yun in astonishment. Yi Yun had devoured Patriarch Pillheart's fire seed. Although he strongly supported Yi Yun, he felt that Yi Yun was being too merciless. He never expected that Yi Yun would go further and absorb the Fire of Seven Emotions.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
As Alchemist Sage Purple Gold roared, he had already attacked Yi Yun!
As long as they captured Yi Yun, they could save the Fire of Seven Emotions. They could even make the Fire of Seven Emotions devour Yi Yun's fire seed.
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold was much stronger than Patriarch Pillheart. Furthermore, Patriarch Pillheart had attacked in a hurry while Alchemist Sage Purple Gold had gone all out from the beginning. He even held a specially refined pill in his hand. Swallowing it would enhance his combat strength.
However, just as he was about to attack, a figure suddenly charged out from behind Yi Yun. The figure was as fast as lightning. Almost instantly, it appeared in front of Alchemist Sage Purple Gold.
"Do you think you have what it takes to attack me?" Following the bellow, a gigantic palm came smashing down at Alchemist Sage Purple Gold with overwhelming might.
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold's expression changed as he hurriedly tried to defend. However, he heard a loud boom as his attack was dispersed. Even the Yuan Qi barrier around him trembled violently as it emitted crisp crackling sounds.
The next moment, his protective Yuan Qi shattered as Alchemist Sage Purple Gold's body was sent flying backward.
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold's lifeblood was in turmoil as he could not help but shudder. At that instant, he felt like his heart was being clenched by someone. It was as though the palm could kill him if it exerted more strength.
"Who is it!?"
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold was struck into a daze. What sort of person's palm was this? It was so terrifying!
Following that, Alchemist Sage Purple Gold saw a wretched-looking old man appear in front of Yi Yun.
"Who is he?"
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold held his breath. The elder's attack was just too terrifying. He felt that the old man was even more terrifying than Aged Blackrock. However, he could not sense any intense Yuan Qi fluctuations from the old man. It was as though the old man was an old hooligan with an ordinary foundation.
Who was this person?
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold was extremely apprehensive. The old man's strength was unfathomable. Furthermore, he had appeared from Yi Yun's mobile abode.
It was not only Alchemist Sage Purple Gold. Even Aged Blackrock looked at Old Snake in astonishment.
Up until the moment Old Snake attacked, he had failed to sense Old Snake's existence. His sudden appearance made Aged Blackrock involuntarily reevaluate Yi Yun. He originally believed that Yi Yun only had peerless talent but was easily harmed by others.
He never expected that not only did Yi Yun have the strength to withstand a casual strike from Patriarch Pillheart, he even had a super expert by his side.
At that moment, there was no time for anyone to think further. Under Yi Yun's instructions, Ling Xie'er had already approached the core of the array's space and began devouring the Fire of Seven Emotions' powers!
And at that moment, the Fire of Seven Emotions' powers were mostly restrained by the Herb Nurturing Array. She was unable to resist Ling Xie'er at all. She was completely at her mercy.
This encounter was identical to what Ling Xie'er had faced previously. However, Ling Xie'er was an embodiment of the Heretical God Fire Seed. She was much stronger than the Fire of Seven Emotions.
Now, with the two fire seeds swapping positions, the Fire of Seven Emotions' powers were rapidly weakened!
The voluptuous woman's face was already pale. "Master, save me!"
The woman cried for help. Alchemist Sage Purple Gold was burning with anxiety but at that moment, against the unfathomable Old Snake and Aged Blackrock, he did not have the courage to attack Yi Yun.
"Yi Yun, you are going too far!"
"So what if I'm bullying you?" Yi Yun sneered. "If someone shows me respect, I'll return the favor tenfold. If someone punches me, I'll stab them thrice. What you took from me, I'll naturally return it in double!"
"Your Excellency!" Alchemist Sage Purple Gold turned abruptly towards the High Priest. Ouming Yin was also feeling anxious.
"We specially came here to help the Nine Li Magus Empire repair the array! Yi Yun is only doing this for his own benefit. His fire seed is unable to repair the array at all. By doing this, he is cutting off the array's path of retreat! "
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold roared. The Nine Li Magus Empire's High Priest had just berated Yi Yun. Alchemist Sage Purple Gold could only turn to the High Priest for help.
Regardless of who the wretched old man protecting Yi Yun was, it was impossible for him to offend the High Priest in the Nine Li Magus Empire's territory. As long as the Nine Li Magus Empire did not trust Yi Yun, there was still hope for him!
However, at such an important moment, the High Priest kept his head down and remained silent.
"Your Excellency!?" Alchemist Sage Purple Gold's eyes turned red.
The High Priest looked up and gave Old Snake, who was protecting Yi Yun, a deep look. He said slowly, "This is a private grudge between you. I will not interfere."
"You!"
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold felt a mouthful of blood being squeezed in his chest. He nearly vomited it out. He was about to die of anger and anxiety. The High Priest had chosen to remain neutral at that moment in time. He was obviously helping Yi Yun!
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold knew that the Nine Li Magus Empire's High Priest was not a benevolent person. The fire seed had only calmed the situation a little but the High Priest had turned a blind eye to Yi Yun's actions.
"Daoist Purple Gold, are we just going to watch?" said Ouming Yin angrily.
Since ancient times, most alchemists were not adept at combat. Without needing to weigh themselves, they knew that they were no match for the wretched old man, much less Aged Blackrock, who was clearly siding with Yi Yun.
"It's best none of you move. Since it's a battle between the fire seeds, why don't you leave it to the fire seeds themselves?"
Yi Yun said with a smile. He extended his hands, indicating that he would not participate in the battle between Ling Xie'er and the two fire seeds.
However, the battle was completely one-sided.
"Master, save me! Master!" The Fire of Seven Emotions desperately retreated. Back then, she had eagerly occupied the array's core. Now, she could not escape even if she wanted to. This was really lifting a rock to smash one's own foot.
And at that moment, the powerful fire-elemental laws that erupted from Ling Xie'er's body bound the Fire of Seven Emotions and the fire centipede like chains. No matter how they struggled, they were unable to extricate themselves from the chains. The present Ling Xie'er was much stronger than before, so how could they withstand her?
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. However, with Old Snake, the High Priest, and Aged Blackrock's aura locked onto him, he did not dare move despite his yearning to tear Yi Yun to shreds!
Previously, he had mocked Yi Yun in every possible way, but now, it had become a huge joke. What was bullying? This was it!
The chains bound the two fire seeds and soon, they were no longer in the form of the voluptuous beauty and fire centipede, revealing their true forms.
There was a rainbow-colored flame and a black flame. Ling Xie'er extended her hand and grabbed the black flame. She began refining it into pure fire-elemental energy.
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold watched this scene helplessly. He did not even realize that his fingernails were digging into his flesh. As for his disciples, all of them were in a daze. In their eyes, Alchemist Sage Purple Gold enjoyed an extremely lofty status. He could summon clouds and rain with a flip of his hand.
But at that moment, Alchemist Sage Purple Gold was standing there, humiliated. All he could do was watch as his fire seed was devoured without him being able to do a thing.
"Yi Yun! You and I are irreconcilable! "
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold roared inwardly!
Ever since he began cultivating, he had made countless people kneel at his feet. A junior like Yi Yun, who had no background, was treated like an ant by Alchemist Sage Purple Gold. He was completely at his mercy.
But today, he had suffered the greatest humiliation of his life at Yi Yun's hands. Not only was he humiliated, even his ancestral fire seed was about to be destroyed.
