Tao Qian could see, but that didn't mean he could stop it. The record in his mind had already stated: The divine skill used by Lord Red Scale originates from an innate god and demon, able to operate the most essential pure and turbid Qi of heaven and earth, coming and going, extinguishing the past. He couldn't stop such a powerful divine skill from destroying evidence, nor could Ancestor Spirit. Three breaths passed in circulation, and then Lord Red Scale opened his eyes again. The piercing cold wind ceased instantly, restoring the daylight scenery to the disaster-stricken territory. This Daoist Lord, obliterating evidence right in front of Tao Qian and Ma Yi Immortal, was indeed rampant. Meanwhile, Tao Qian was still operating spiritual response, trying to get a reply from Lingbao Tianzun, thus having no time to deal with him. As for Ma Yi, she was thoroughly enraged. The eyes that had seen all worldly affairs without change now showed anger and said calmly: "Red Scale, I heard long ago that you often fooled the Zhong Mountain God during his slumber after battling another innate demon god, borrowing his divine might to satisfy your private desires. Previously, I thought it was a rumor, but seeing now, it's truly real." "Using such despicable means, aren't you afraid that a single dao sound from our sect's heavenly venerate will awaken the Zhong Mountain God, only to have him swallow you instead?" "For these cruel and ignorant dragon clan, is it worth sacrificing your Dao path?" Ma Yi Immortal spoke in an instant, and she took action. From the words of Lord Red Scale earlier, it could be seen that Ma Yi Immortal was not only of a high seniority within Spirit Treasure Sect but likely held a not low status in the Outer Realm. At least in terms of lifespan, she was older than Lord Red Scale. Such a being, when provoked, how could she not respond? Just see the immortal silently, without a sound, lightly waved her sleeve, yet it was not the legendary "Universe in the Sleeve," but instead spread out a large area of formless and intangible immortal light, covering the entire Penglai Sea, causing the thousands of Mountain and Sea Realm True Dragons in the scene already subjected to massacre to instantly start to age. Even the "Hai Tu" under Lord Red Scale could not escape, visibly transforming from a mighty human-faced dragon immortal into a dry and haggard, feeble old dragon, with white whiskers and hair, ready to perish at any moment. This scene, seen right by Tao Qian who had awoken. He couldn't help but inwardly marvel: "What a divine skill, this must be Aunt Ma Yi's 'Spirit Treasure Longevity Demanding Technique'. All living beings afflicted by this technique, their lifespan is either taken away by the caster or returned to heaven and earth. Given Aunt's disposition, this time is likely the latter. The accumulated lifespan of these thousands of dragons could indeed reach up to one hundred thousand years." "Hui Ming Great Method... Longevity Demanding... it's hard to tell for the moment which one is more astonishing." While Tao Qian sighed. Lord Red Scale took action again, this guardian Daoist Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm True Dragon Clan, at this moment did not even glance at those forcibly aged dragon clan. Instead, deep within his eyes, there was no sorrow but happiness. He just picked up that Hai Tu and sneered coldly: "My lord is wise and benevolent, that is why he trusts me." "Although Ma Yi Daoist holds high status, she rarely sees the Spirit Treasure God." "Even if she can convey some spiritual response, so what? Spirit Treasure God is now surrounded by strong enemies, busy with himself, his dao sound cannot possibly cross mountains and seas and enter my lord's ears." "Do not panic, whether this litigation proceeds successfully is still uncertain." "If successful, you deserve it." "If unsuccessful, consider yourselves lucky." With those words finished, one could see him and the human-faced old dragon's figures gradually becoming ethereal, clearly intending to escape this realm. Seeing this, both Tao Qian and Ma Yi instantly understood. After Lord Red Scale descended as a split, his actions were quite strange. Initially furious, yet after destroying evidence and witnessing the aging death of thousands of true dragons, he showed another demeanor. A dignified Daoist Lord level powerhouse, if truly scheming, should not act so, there must be some trick involved. Realizing this, Tao Qian was already taking action. Dao sound uttered, casting immobilization spell. After all, the opponent was a Daoist Lord split, Tao Qian's foolproof sublime dharma merely slowed its ething speed. However, it was already enough. That instant, countless divine lights descended, transforming into cords binding him, it was Tao Qian communicating with Ancestor Spirit Daoist, letting him use his longevity forbidden technique divine might, temporarily halting the Daoist Lord. Even though very soon Lord Red Scale broke free, Tao Qian had already appeared before him. Holding Wa Dang, he fiercely smashed at his skull. "Lord please hold your steps." These five words hadn't fallen, Lord Red Scale had already suffered a solid hit. His skull trembled, before his eyes golden stars danced chaotically. Taking the opportunity, Tao Qian smoothly wiped his forehead, if it were the true Red Scale body, such a move would reveal nothing, but merely a split could not withstand Tao Qian's abnormal soul probing. Naturally, many secret details about Lord Red Scale poured out. Other secrets Tao Qian wasn't concerned about. At this moment, he only wished to know, what on earth was this Daoist Lord attempting who inexplicably sought to disrupt the alliance between the Spirit Treasure Camp and Mountain and Sea Gods Camp? In Tao Qian's prior hunch: If Lord Red Scale truly returns to file a complaint, breaking the relationship between the two camps, the karmic consequences triggered, he and his daughter could indeed not bear, not only facing death and Dao dissolution, but even unable to reincarnate for cultivation again. Soon, one detailed record revealed: [Zhong Mountain God Zhu Jiuyin exhausted its power in a great battle with another innate god demon, fell into a deep sleep, leaving only a mechanical consciousness "Zhong Mountain Fire Essence" to command its god demon body, ruling the secret realm and its clan.] [Its consciousness, the fire essence, not only lacks wisdom but is capricious, and it can only access the secret realm, unable to contact the outside world... Seeing this opportunity, Lord Red Scale falsely transmitted a divine decree, transferring the other disciples of Zhong Mountain God out of the secret realm, repeatedly fooling the fire essence with various reasons to obtain benefits.] [For instance, a hundred years ago, Lord Red Scale claimed there was a strong enemy about to attack Zhong Mountain Secret Realm, tricking the fire essence into personally granting a piece of dragon scale from the true dragon body, enabling him to advance in cultivation realm, surpassing ordinary cultivators in the Daoist Transformation Realm.] [Eighty years ago, Lord Red Scale informed the fire essence that the Heavenly Demon's "Gonggong" was leading the water clan of all heavens to attack Zhong Mountain, coaxing the fire essence into granting him another divine treasure, "Candle Dragon Grease", to shield Zhong Mountain from the threat temporarily; instead, Lord Red Scale exchanged this divine treasure with the Suirenshi for the exotic treasure and divine artifact, Thunder Fire Divine Ash Spear, boosting his battle strength significantly.] [Fifty years ago, feeling that his Daoist skill was lacking, innately deficient, Lord Red Scale even cooperated with an innate demon god to obtain a Heavenly Demon Secret Technique, forcibly splitting off a Yin Soul Demon Body and naming it Red Bell Fairy, deceiving the fire essence into agreeing to marry Red Bell Fairy to Zhong Mountain God's only son "Gu", thereby stealing Hui Ming Divine Qi to complete himself.] [Fifteen minutes ago, Lord Red Scale unexpectedly learned of the grudge between Tao Lingying and the Mountain and Sea True Dragon Clan, seeing it as a good opportunity, he revealed his avatar and intervened.] [After destroying the evidence, he secretly noted the scene of thousands of dragons dying of old age, determined to stir trouble in front of "Zhong Mountain Fire Essence" upon returning to the secret realm. Though the fire essence cannot leave Zhong Mountain, it can issue divine decrees to all disciples, clans, and other Mountain and Sea Gods from beyond.] [In the process, Lord Red Scale is sure to gain substantial benefits once again, along with supreme authority.] [His ultimate plan: To hollow out Zhong Mountain God Zhu Jiuyin's assets, when the time is right, completely betray and escape the Mountain and Sea Gods Camp, joining the Heavenly Demon Realm, for he has already secured promises that once successful, he will be rewarded with dominion over a realm, receiving numerous benefits, becoming the "Red Scale Demon Lord".] These records appear complex. Yet in an instant they flowed through Tao Qian's mind, swiftly unveiling their secret reasons. Hence, he was momentarily startled. He originally thought there might be some terrifying conspiracy within. But who could have predicted? The conspiracy exists, but it's quite small. The truth is that this one called "Lord Red Scale" is a habitual offender who tricks fools to steal benefits. Now, upon discovering this matter, he immediately plans to employ the same trick to reap substantial benefits. As for causing discord between the two camps! It's just a side effect that he doesn't care about. Tao Qian had believed that cultivators who reach the Daoist Transformation Realm mostly have some dignity, yet unexpectedly encounters an exception. Is there such a cultivation method in the world? Taking advantage of one's divine spirit being asleep, step by step hollowing out the other party? "Truly a heartless, glib, prodigal Daoist Lord, quite adept at play." As Tao Qian uttered this. Lord Red Scale had already awakened from the heavy strike of Toad God Tile, no longer giving Tao Qian a chance. Only using cold eyes to briefly glance at Tao Qian. Immediately, his avatar along with that human-faced old dragon simultaneously transformed into foul-smelling, sticky bright red pus, trickling down. "If this rogue does manage to return to the secret realm and stirs trouble before Zhong Mountain God's foolish consciousness, hollowing out the assets is one thing, but truly if unfortunate, causing discord between the Mountain and Sea Gods Camp and the Spirit Treasure Camp, even leading to war, that would be a major event." "My daughter and I would be unjustly blamed." "No, no, must complain, then let's complain together." Seeing Lord Red Scale madly fleeing the territory, Tao Qian urgently shouted. Simultaneously, he immediately planned to chant the "Spirit Treasure Disaster Relief Life Protection Scripture". This time, his heart was sincere. Just as he was about to chant, suddenly, the little spiritual baby leaped onto his shoulder, hugging Tao Qian and shouted along: "Daddy, are you going to complain?" "Lingying can do that too, a while ago a grandma more majestic than Grandma came into my dream, held Lingying's hand and said she was Grandma's mother, said if anyone dares bully Lingying, I can use the innate marvelous sound to chant 'Doumu Heart Sutra' once." "Then grandma will respond to Lingying and stand up for Lingying." Little Douding said in a childish voice. Not waiting for Tao Qian to respond, the little one directly closed her pair of watery cat pupils. Muttering in her mouth, evidently already chanting the Doumu Heart Sutra. Seeing this, Tao Qian couldn't help but think to himself: "Grandma Taizhen's mother… Doumu Yuanjun!" "Hmm, more favored than me." "One chant is sufficient, but Daddy has to chant three times to get a response." With thoughts settled, Tao Qian followed with heartfelt chanting of the scripture. Beside the father and daughter, the Ma Yi Immortal intended to use the secret skill to communicate with the Sect Master and report to the Heavenly Venerate.

Turning her gaze towards the Penglai Sea, at the countless dragon clan corpses dying of old age, sinking into the sea, she couldn't help lamenting for Lord Red Scale. "In cultivation, there is always a price." "Lord Red Scale used this method to cleverly cultivate, surpassing many peers in two hundred years, just one step away from impacting the Tribulation Immortal." "Yet unfortunately, did not foresee the price coming all at once, given the favoritism enjoyed by Tao Qian's niece and nephew before the Heavenly Venerate and Doumu, it can be assured both will respond." "Zhong Mountain God may even turn misfortune into blessing, waking up early…"
