Chapter 222 – Three Months Later, Transformed Sinews and Bones (Three)

Ye Kuang’s large hand pressed directly onto Sage Yiming’s head, and in the blink of an eye, he absorbed the old man into his body!

A bulge moved back and forth in his chest before being spat out.

Bang!

The sound of something hitting the ground came, and it turned out to be the unconscious Sage Yiming.

At this moment, the three fist marks on Ye Kuang’s back healed at a visible rate, making him appear even more ferocious.

The surrounding crowd was clearly terrified by the scene before them, and they rushed into the halo one after another.

Ye Kuang, however, stared intently, seemingly somewhat wary, and did not dare to charge in immediately.

But as he turned to look around, the three iron men attacked once again.

Roar, roar, roar!

In an instant, Ye Kuang’s hair danced wildly in his fury, and his aura surged relentlessly.

He directly broke through from the Late Stage of Kongming to the Peak of Kongming, just one step away from the Innate realm!

Yet, even with all this power combined, he was no match for the three united forces of the Dao Inquiry Peak.

Ye Kuang was bombarded repeatedly by the three men’s six fists, the sound of his ribs shattering rising and falling incessantly, making his body suddenly appear extremely grotesque, as if every bone and sinew in his body had been shattered.

Only when he collapsed like soft mud did the three iron men finally cease their attacks.

“What’s wrong with this kid?”

“Why is his demonic nature so terrifying that it forced us to waste so much time!”

“No matter what’s up with this kid, since he dared to kill someone from our sacred land, he must be taken back to face judgment from the Three Venerables!”

While the three iron men were still discussing how to deal with Ye Kuang, Sage Yichen on the other side was completely dumbfounded.

Even Sage Yixiao snapped back to reality and couldn’t help but turn to Sage Yisu to demand, “What exactly is going on? That kid clearly consumed the Udumbara Flower, and the poison should have attacked his heart. Why isn’t he dead yet!”

Sage Yisu: “……”

These words could not escape the ears of the three iron men. When they turned their heads one after another, expressions of shock were clearly written on their faces.

“No wonder! So this kid consumed the Udumbara Flower. No wonder his demonic nature erupted so exaggeratedly. Once this kid fully integrates his body and mind and purges the demonic nature, then…”

“He must be taken back!”

“But what about these three traitors? How should we deal with them?”

Hearing this, Sage Yichen couldn’t help but scream hysterically, “You are utterly unjust, unworthy of being law enforcers! I will definitely report you to Martial Uncle!”

Sage Yixiao, upon hearing this, also chimed in, “And this Sage Yiming, how audacious! He dared to disregard the Kunlun Summons and blaspheme the divine authority of the Three Venerables. I, too, will report him!”

Hearing this, the three iron men couldn’t help but exchange glances. With Sage Yiming now in a Life-Death unknown state, they had no one to shoulder the blame. If this matter came to light, their situation would undoubtedly become very awkward.

With this thought, their eyes flickered uncertainly, clearly carrying a hint of killing intent.

Sage Yisu, seeing this, suddenly spoke up, “Your enforcement was misled by others, which is understandable. But if you persist in your mistakes, not even the gods can save you.”

Though his words seemed light, they struck like thunder, startling the three iron men and shaking their very souls.

Stunned!

Struggling!

No one knew how much time passed.

“That’s right, it was Sage Yiming who deceived us first, nearly leading us astray.”

“But you must also prove that you haven’t colluded with outsiders, so we can account for our actions.”Hearing this, Sage Yisu couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief: “The Kunlun Summons is right here with me. You may take it anytime…”

Meanwhile, Sages Yichen and Yixiao suddenly regained their senses. Previously blinded by rage, they now felt a chilling fear after being awakened by the reminder, and couldn’t help casting grateful glances at Sage Yisu.

When the Kunlun Summons came into view, the three strongmen shuddered as if struck by a cold spell, breaking out in cold sweat.

“Elders! We’ve offended our own kind by mistake. Allow us to tend to your injuries immediately.”

Speaking urgently, the three strongmen began channeling their Qi to heal the three elders’ wounds. As their vast Qi Seas surged forth, they realized the chasm between the Dao Inquiry Peak and ordinary Dao Inquiry realms was like heaven and earth.

Within moments, the three elders slowly exhaled turbid breaths and rose to their feet one after another.

In contrast, the three enforcers stood with bowed heads like chastised children, remaining silent.

Sage Yisu glanced at the unconscious Sage Yiming and commanded: “Bring this traitor along. We shall face the Three Venerables!”

No sooner had he spoken than Sage Yisu inevitably looked toward Ye Kuang.

Truth be told, were it not for his sudden demonic awakening, all three of them would have met their doom in the northwest.

To say his gaze wasn’t complicated would be false!

The three strongmen hesitantly asked: “What about this young man…”

Sage Yisu: “Bring him along too!”

As they spoke, the group successively stepped into the luminous portal, vanishing completely into the dimensional rift as the light itself disappeared.

After momentary darkness, brightness returned in the blink of an eye.

The scene unfolding before them revealed singing birds and fragrant flowers, azure skies merging with white clouds above tranquil waters – a vista that couldn’t help but dazzle the eyes!

Outside the portal, countless figures stood arranged in concentric circles, each appearing as if they had traveled through time from ancient martial arts realms.

Even Ye Kuang’s crimson eyes couldn’t conceal his astonishment.

Particularly during those three seconds of eye contact with the leading Middle-Aged Strongman, he felt as if his very soul were being stripped away, an icy chill creeping through his entire body.

“Martial Uncle!!!”

At that moment, Sage Yisu and the others suddenly shouted in unison, expressing their reverence.

The middle-aged man responded with a faint ‘Hmm’ before getting straight to the point: “What happened here?”

Witnessing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t suppress a tremble, clearly astonished by the middle-aged man’s identity!

This man’s utterly ordinary appearance made him the type to blend into crowds unnoticed, yet here he was being respectfully addressed by all these elders – a disparity that would strike anyone with profound incongruity.

The scene fell into terrifying silence.

Hostile gazes gathered, everyone seeking an explanation.

Sage Yichen, seeing this, was the first to lose composure and hastily recounted the entire sequence of events from beginning to end.

But as his tale grew increasingly fantastical, the crowd grew somewhat restless – clearly not everyone accepted this version of events.

After all, Ye Kuang’s presence as an outsider was undeniable, making it hard to believe Sage Yichen’s account entirely.

Even the middle-aged man addressed as “Martial Uncle” appeared skeptical, suddenly asking: “What of the Kunlun Summons?”

Hearing this, one enforcer hurried forward and respectfully presented a token.

It was unmistakably the Kunlun Invitation!
