Chapter 22 There is Only One One Qi Immortal (Please Follow)

"Dang——"

Dongfang Gang spat out the pale light of dawn, and a crisp bell sound came from within the Fuyu Country Capital.

The city gates opened in response.

Many men, women, and children who hadn't slept all night rushed out of the gates, not even bothering to take a torch, stumbling through the darkness toward the Heavenly Immortal Temple.

Before they even arrived, wails and weeping could already be heard.

Inside the Myriad Immortals Temple, the awakened Yu Yuan, somewhat irritated, picked his ears and casually tossed out a palm-sized Treasure Hall.

That Treasure Hall swelled in the wind, and with a "boom," it landed in front of the Fuyu citizens, emitting radiant light and scaring them into retreating while screaming in alarm.

"Squeak——"

With a light creak, the doors of the hall opened.

A little hand clung to the door frame, and a small head with a Chongtian bun poked out; a pair of big eyes blinking at the Fuyu citizens, then suddenly called out joyfully to one of the women, "Mom! Mom!"

That woman was taken aback, then realized what was happening and rushed over in three steps, hugging the child tightly while crying and shouting, "My child! My child!"

At this moment, more and more children walked out of the great hall, each reuniting with their parents and family members.

"It's my child! It really is my child!"

"My child is still alive!"

"Thank goodness! All the children are safe and sound!"

...

The Fuyu citizens were overwhelmed with joy, crying tears of happiness.

They were all blood relatives of the children, who had come to collect the bodies, but instead found all the children alive and kicking.

At this time, the Armored Soldiers in the Capital also heard the commotion and quickly spread the news throughout the city.

Everyone in the Fuyu Capital City, from the ruler to the commoners, rushed over to see what was happening.

"What in the world is going on? Did the Immortal no longer want our offerings?"

"It was a big brother who took us into the palace... Inside, there were lots of delicious food and fun things to do. If it wasn't for hearing mom cry, I wouldn't have wanted to come out," a little girl answered her parents' questions in a baby voice.

Apart from the children's parents and relatives, the rest of the Fuyu citizens looked at each other bewildered, unsure of what to do.

Many of them showed subtle expressions of panic and unease.

"Enter the temple!"

At the command of the Fuyu ruler, the Fuyu citizens bypassed the Treasure Hall and surged like a tidal wave toward the Heavenly Immortal Temple.

Then, they discovered that the Immortal Temple, which was built with great manpower and resources, was broken with a huge, person-shaped hole.

Through the gap, they could see a young man with a commanding figure sleeping on the altar, surrounded by mist and floating celestial energy.

"The plaque of the Immortal has fallen!"

An astute minister saw the broken plaque under the altar and let out a shrill scream like a rooster crowing.

The Fuyu ruler pondered for a moment and immediately bowed respectfully to the ground, paying homage to the young man inside the Immortal Temple, "Thank you, Immortal, for your valiant effort to drive away the demon! My Fuyu will remember the great kindness of the Immortal, and we will rebuild the Immortal Temple and offer incense worship for generations to come..."

"It seems I can't get back to sleep."

Yu Yuan sighed, got up from the altar, walked out of the Immortal Temple, and looking at the dense crowd, he couldn't help frowning. To the Fuyu ruler he said, "Do you know who I am?"

The Fuyu ruler quickly bowed and said, "Kindly bestow upon us your esteemed title."

"I am none other than the One Qi Immortal of the Jie Sect!"

Yu Yuan cheerfully declared his identity, then began to enjoy the expressions on everyone's faces.

Indeed.

Upon hearing the familiar name, the Fuyu ruler who was kneeling on the ground abruptly lifted his head, staring at Yu Yuan in astonishment.

Not only him, everyone present from the Fuyu citizens wore a look of sheer bewilderment.

How is it that another Jie Sect One Qi Immortal has appeared?

After their astonishment, deep fear and panic set in.

Could it be that the two were actually the same person?

They heard that Immortal Gods could split into countless forms, changing their appearances and shapes at will.

As the faces of the crowd gradually turned pale, Yu Yuan looked up at the sky.

He saw a vast expanse of dark clouds appear at the horizon where sea and sky meet, with a short-statured figure standing atop the clouds, white-haired with a greenish face, sharp fangs protruding from the corner of the lower lip, dressed in a broad Daoist robe stained with grime, and around the neck hung a string of white beads.

After a closer look, Yu Yuan realized that the beads were strung together with the skulls of children, some of which still bore garish crimson stains that seemed like fresh blood yet to dry.

```

In a blink of an eye, the dark clouds had already arrived above Chongxian Island, pressing down heavily as if a massive mountain had descended from the sky.

"Immortal..."

The ruler of Fuyu Country watched in astonishment as the figure that often appeared in his nightmares hovered above the dark clouds. He then turned to look at the young man before him, momentarily stunned and at a loss.

Behind him, some of the citizens of Fuyu Country, unable to withstand the terror in their hearts, collapsed to the ground, continuously kowtowing towards the sky and muttering prayers like "begging the Immortal for forgiveness" and "offering up boys and girls anew."

Stepping on the dark clouds was none other than Ma Yuan, the One Qi Immortal from White Bone Cave in Skull Mountain, who had been cultivating for countless tens of thousands of years.

At this moment, he arrived with the might of black clouds pressing upon the city, obscuring the sun that had just risen above the sea.

Once again, Chongxian Island fell into darkness.

"You, Profound Immortal!"

Ma Yuan didn't even glance at those Fuyu citizens kowtowing and begging for mercy; his gaze was solely on Yu Yuan as he shouted harshly: "So it's you who have impersonated the name of Daoye (esteemed Daoist), claiming Daoye's incense offerings? Quickly state your name, if Daoye feels appeased, you might still be granted a whole corpse!"

As he spoke, he employed some Divine Skills, his voice thundering like rumbling thunder, enveloping the entire Chongxian Island, causing countless Fuyu citizens to suffer piercing pain in their ears, rolling on the ground and howling while clutching their heads.

Clearly, this was his punishment for the citizens of Fuyu.

It was also a form of deterrence.

To ensure that these citizens of Fuyu Country would not dare to harbor any other thoughts and honestly offer incense and tributes on time.

However, such Divine Skills were but child's play to Yu Yuan, who wouldn't be harmed even if he did nothing at all.

He simply picked at his ear, speaking displeasedly: "From early morning, it's been nothing but noise. Don't you know it's quite impolite to disturb someone's sleep?"

"Heh~"

Ma Yuan narrowed his eyes, his anger giving way to a cynical laugh, "I've seen the bold, but never one as audacious as you! A mere Profound Immortal, not kneeling to beg for mercy upon seeing me, instead, you dare to complain about Daoye's conduct!

Come, come, let Daoye teach you what is called politeness!"

In the midst of speaking, a giant hand extended from behind his head and slapped towards Yu Yuan.

That giant hand was blood-red, swelling with the wind until in the blink of an eye it was as large as a small mountain, stretching all the way from the clouds to the ground, surely a distance of more than a mile.

Under such a supernatural spectacle, the frightened citizens of Fuyu Country dared not stay any longer, scrambling to flee.

But how could their speed of escape match the swiftness of that giant hand descending?

The crowd was nearly in despair, with only a few smarter ones running toward where Yu Yuan stood.

When the sky falls, there will be tall ones to bear it.

Right now, Yu Yuan was undoubtedly the "tall one" in their eyes.

At this moment, this "tall one" was looking up at the sky, but not at the blood-red giant hand that was blotting out the sun.

Just as the hand was about to hit the ground, he casually extended his right hand and lightly pushed upward.

The next instant, a booming sound erupted.

The mountainous blood-red hand was forcefully brought to a halt.

Visible whorls of white air erupted beneath the hand, blowing many Fuyu citizens who had not managed to escape flying through the air.

"Hmm?"

Ma Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, suspicion arising in his mind.

Through his Divine Thought, he could clearly "see" that the insignificant little Profound Immortal had merely raised his right hand and easily blocked his own attack.

Although he had only used thirty percent of his strength, the ease with which his attack was caught was certainly not something a Profound Immortal could achieve!

He withdrew the third hand from behind his head and demanded, "Who exactly are you? State your name quickly!"

Yu Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Didn't your short Daoist boy tell you?"

"You're saying you're also one of the Jie Sect's One Qi Immortals? Impossible!" shouted Ma Yuan, his expression arrogantly confident: "Jie Sect has only one One Qi Immortal!"

"That's right."

Yu Yuan nodded, feeling that the time was about right. He flexed his wrist and said with a smile, "Indeed, Jie Sect only has one One Qi Immortal, and that would be me..."

Primordial One Qi Immortal!

Before the last few words could be spoken, he had already transformed into a golden beam, shooting straight into Yun Xiao.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion resounded.

The green-faced and ferocious Heavenly Immortal on the clouds turned into a meteor, shooting up into the Nine Heavens.

At the same time, the oppressive dark clouds tore open with a large hole, and golden sunlight poured through, awakening all the people on Chongxian Island.

It was only at this moment that they truly believed—

The day had truly brightened!
