Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 316: Crimson Flame Domain, Ouyang Family!

"Who?!"

"Who?!"

Little Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao, who had been guarding outside the door, exclaimed in surprise and quickly rushed over.

The three ancient spirit beasts, Gui Sui Shou, Jiao Linglong, and Hu Da Li, also did the same, roaring in anger as they swiftly moved.

The icy killing intent released unintentionally by Liu Zimo was so intense and sharp that it startled them all, making them feel fearful and thinking that an assassin had come.

You see, the two people lying in the room were their master and owner, their closest kin in this world.

If something happened to the two of them, what face would they have to see their master and owner again?

Therefore, whether it was Ye Feihong, Lou Xiaoxiao, or the three ancient spirit beasts, they were all extremely nervous and filled with anger.

But when they rushed into the room and saw the person standing in front of the bed, exuding a strong killing intent, it turned out to be Liu Zimo.

The two people and three beasts all stood still on the spot.

"Master?!"

"Owner?!"

The two people and three beasts simultaneously exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with endless joy.

However, soon they all lowered their heads like children who had done something wrong, feeling ashamed and not daring to meet Liu Zimo's gaze.

Before Liu Zimo's Ascension and after his last visit to the mortal realm, he had specifically instructed them to protect the safety of their father and uncle.

But now...

It had only been a year, and their father and uncle had encountered such a big accident and were in imminent danger.

They felt ashamed and unworthy of the trust and commission from their Master and owner.

"Feihong, Xiaoxiao, tell me, what exactly happened?" Liu Zimo ignored the three spirit beasts and looked at the two disciples, asking in a deep voice.

Ye Feihong bowed and replied, "It's the Ouyang Family from the Crimson Flame Domain. Half a year ago, they suddenly crossed over and launched a surprise attack on all the ancient sects."

"Ancient True Saints like Qingyun Old Ancestor, Kong Sheng, Liu Yuan Saint, and others were all captured, and the Earth Federation was completely under their control."

"At that time, if we hadn't reacted quickly and retreated to this spiritual energy blessed land, using the formation left by Master to fight back, we would have become prisoners of the Ouyang Family!"

"And our Master and Uncle were affected by a kind of soul poison that the Ouyang Family indiscriminately released when they tried to attack the outer formation!"

As she spoke, Ye Feihong knelt down with a face full of shame and said, "Disciple was incompetent and didn't discover this soul poison in time, causing both Master and Uncle, who only have a cultivation base at the Grandmaster realm, to be poisoned at the same time!"

In fact, it wasn't just Liu Yi and Zhao Hongzhang who were affected by the soul poison.

Ye Feihong, Lou Xiaoxiao, and the three ancient spirit beasts were also affected.

However, their cultivation bases had reached the Saint Realm, so even if they were poisoned by the soul poison, they could forcibly suppress it, temporarily without any threat to their lives.

With just a glance, Liu Zimo could see that they also had the same toxin raging inside them.

Although they had temporarily suppressed these soul poisons, if they couldn't completely eliminate them for a long time, these toxins would continue to erode their spiritual sea, posing a great threat to their lives.

"Crimson Flame Domain, Ouyang Family?" Liu Zimo muttered softly, raising his eyebrows slightly.

If he remembered correctly, that little girl Ouyang Xinxin seemed to be from the Crimson Flame Domain, right?

"Yes, yes, it's the Crimson Flame Domain!"

Yao Lingling, who had been invisible and standing on Liu Zimo's shoulder, seemed to sense what her master was thinking and quickly transmitted a message in secret:

"Ouyang Xinxin, as well as many members of the Ouyang Immortal Clan, are all from the Ascension Upper Realm of the Crimson Flame Domain!"

"Moreover, from Ouyang Xinxin's memories, I learned that the Crimson Flame Domain is located in the northern void of the Earth Domain. Even before Ouyang Xinxin's Ascension, the Crimson Flame Domain seemed to have discovered the existence of the Earth Domain."

"However, at that time, they didn't know the true nature of the Earth Domain and didn't show much hostility towards it."

"Now it seems that the Crimson Flame Domain couldn't hold back any longer and launched a probing attack on the Earth Domain."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zimo nodded slightly.

Since he and Ouyang Xinxin were in the same Ascension location, it meant that their Star Domains were not far apart, so it wasn't surprising that the Crimson Flame Domain discovered the Earth Domain.

And wars between domains have always been like this, with no reasoning involved. If you fall behind, you will be beaten and plundered.

Previously, the Earth Domain had been in a sealed state, devoid of spiritual energy and with no visible aura, making it difficult for other Star Domains to detect and not worth invading.

It wasn't until a few years ago, when spiritual energy recovered and the Heavenly Dao will reappeared, that the Earth Domain caught the attention of the neighboring Illusion Monster World, leading to several years of invasion by the Monster Race.

Now, it was clear that the Earth Domain had once again caught the attention of the neighboring Crimson Flame Domain.

The Ouyang Family within the Crimson Flame Domain had always had connections with the Upper Realms, and the overall strength of the family was terrifying to ordinary Star Domains in the lower realms.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to cultivate a peerless genius who could ascend smoothly after only practicing for a thousand years.

Compared to the cultivators in the Earth Domain, the Ouyang Family's strength was definitely overwhelming.

So, it was not surprising that the entire Earth Domain was occupied and ruled by the Crimson Flame Domain led by the Ouyang Family in just half a year.

At the same time, Liu Zimo speculated that the reason why the Ouyang Family didn't kill Qingyun Old Ancestor, Kong Sheng, Liu Yuan, and others was probably related to the cultivation technique he brought back last time.

Although the power of the "Martial Spirit Heart Technique" was not as great as the Ouyang Family's "Qiankun Unity Technique," it was still a rare cultivation technique in the lower realms.

The Ouyang Family themselves might not need such a cultivation technique, but they could use it to cultivate some subordinates from other races.

"Little guy, can you completely remove the toxins from my father and little uncle's souls?" Liu Zimo asked softly through a voice transmission to Yao Lingling.

Yao Lingling was an expert in soul spirit power and had a better understanding of the origin of souls than any cultivator.

After seeing the tragic scene of his father and little uncle just now, Liu Zimo was extremely angry but not overly worried because he had brought Yao Lingling back this time.

With Yao Lingling around, he could ensure the safety of his father and little uncle.

"Of course!" Yao Lingling said proudly, "Those mere soul toxins are nothing in front of the talent supernatural power of our Devouring Spirit Worm clan!"

"In fact, when the master was just angry, I had already secretly taken action!"

"I have stabilized the injuries on the souls of the old master and the others. All I need is a little time, and I can devour and remove all the toxins that have merged into their soul origins!"

Saying that, Yao Lingling glanced at the nearby Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao and casually asked, "Master, do you want me to also remove the toxins from the bodies of your two disciples and the three spirit beasts?"

Wasn't that obvious?

Liu Zimo glanced lightly at Yao Lingling, indicating it not to waste time and to get to work quickly.

Yao Lingling nodded in agreement and instantly split into several segments, each diving into the sea of consciousness of the people in front of them.

"So, those more than ten unfamiliar Saint Realm auras I sensed in Luozhou City just now were from the Ouyang Family?" Liu Zimo raised his head and asked the two girls softly.

"But it was they who forced you into this spiritual paradise and contaminated the spiritual energy within with soul toxins?"

Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao nodded simultaneously.

"Master Mingjian, it's those bastards from the Ouyang family!"

"They've been staring at us, demanding that we hand over the 'Qiankun Qi Technique' and reveal the person behind teaching us the 'Qiankun Qi Technique'!"

"They shamelessly claim that the 'Qiankun Qi Technique' is the cultivation technique passed down in their Ouyang family, and that Master is a thief who stole their family's cultivation technique..."

Upon hearing the description from the two girls, Liu Zimo's mouth twitched involuntarily.

He knew that when people from the Ouyang family arrived, they would inevitably discover the 'Qiankun Qi Technique' that Little Feihong and Xiaoxiao were practicing.

And now, it seemed that his suspicions were confirmed.

The fact that the Ouyang family would resort to such ruthless methods was most likely related to the 'Qiankun Qi Technique'.

"Don't listen to their nonsense!"

"The 'Qiankun Qi Technique' is indeed rare in the mortal realm, but it's not considered anything special in the Transcendent realm. As long as one is determined, it can be obtained easily!"

Liu Zimo directly shook his head in denial.

Anyway, the Ouyang family in the Transcendent realm had already been brought under his control. What he said was the final word.

However, these Ouyang clan members from the Crimson Flame realm could not be forgiven.

"Master, you don't need to explain to us. We believe in you!"

Little Feihong looked at Liu Zimo with a serious and firm expression, her voice crisp.

"Moreover, even if it was stolen or snatched, so what? If Master takes an interest in something from the Ouyang family, it's giving them face. They should feel honored!"

"In this world, it's always the weak who are prey to the strong. If they can't protect their own cultivation technique, it's their own lack of ability!"

"Besides, they're not even people from our Earth realm. There's no need to reason with them!"

Liu Zimo's face reddened, but at the same time, he felt a warm feeling, as if he had been wrapped in a close-fitting cotton jacket.

Indeed, the one who understood him the most was his senior disciple.

This little girl was becoming more perceptive and articulate as she grew up.

With such character and experience, even if she ascended to the Transcendent realm in the future, she would definitely not be at a disadvantage.

"Alright, now can someone tell me where that kid Zihao went? Why isn't he in this underground paradise?"

Liu Zimo waved his hand, completely purifying the soul toxins that had spread in the spiritual paradise, and at the same time, he asked the two girls.

Just now, he was too preoccupied with worrying about the safety of his father and uncle that he didn't notice that his younger brother, Liu Zihao, was not in this spiritual paradise.

Now that Liu Yi and Zhao Hongzhang were safe, he naturally thought of Liu Zihao.

"Well..."

Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, and finally it was Senior Sister Ye Feihong who spoke up.

"Master, you don't know, but Senior Uncle Zihao went to the Illusion Monster World half a year ago."

"He said that the spiritual energy in the Earth realm had just recovered not long ago, and many spirit medicines had not fully grown yet."

"He wanted to improve his pill refining skills and refine a batch of Transcendent Level pills that could directly break through to Ascension. So he took Xuan Ye, the Perfected Being, and crossed over to the Illusion Monster World."

"It's fortunate that Senior Uncle went to the Illusion Monster World, otherwise he would most likely have been affected by the soul toxins this time!"

Liu Zimo was stunned.

Zihao actually went to the Illusion Monster World?

This kid, his courage has really grown! He used to stay at home and didn't even bother to go to the Lingneng Fudi, but now, for the sake of pill refining, he actually ran out of the Earth Realm!

However, with Xuan Ye, that old Daoist, protecting him, safety shouldn't be a big issue.

After all, the Illusion Monster World was conquered by the Earth Realm two years ago, and almost all of the Saint Realm Monster Race inside were killed. The danger is not as great as imagined.

The only thing to worry about is if the people from the Ouyang Family also go to the Illusion Monster World, the same Liu Zihao who cultivated the "Qiankun Qi Jue" technique is also likely to be targeted.

"Master, rest assured."

Seeing Liu Zimo's worries, Xiao Feihong spoke up.

"The news of Junior Martial Uncle going to the Illusion Monster World is only known to us, no one else."

"And, the people from the Ouyang Family have been consolidating their rule over the Earth Realm during this time, and they haven't had the leisure to take over the Illusion Monster World."

Liu Zimo nodded slightly again at the words.

At this time, the scattered and separated Yao Lingling clones turned into several streams of light and returned to Liu Zimo's shoulder, regaining their true form.

"Lucky not to disappoint!"

The little bug proudly showed off to Liu Zimo.

"Good, after the matters in the Earth Realm are resolved, I will take you to the Illusion Monster World again!"

"You wanted to find more Soul-Eating Mother Worms, right? When the time comes, you can pick as many as you want!"

Liu Zimo promised, and Yao Lingling happily flapped her wings and spun around in place.

"Oh, it seems like the toxins in my body are gone?"

"Mine too!"

"Same here, those annoying black lines are finally gone!"

"..."

Soon, the two girls and three spirit beasts all noticed the abnormality in their sea of consciousness.

The black toxins that had been suppressed in a corner of their sea of consciousness, constantly eroding their soul origins and causing trouble from time to time, suddenly disappeared in an instant!

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

They weren't fools, naturally they knew who was the one who cleared the toxins from their souls, and they quickly bowed and thanked Liu Zimo.

"Alright, no need to be polite with me!"

Liu Zimo waved his hand and instructed the two girls and three beasts.

"Old Turtle, Linglong, Dalie, the three of you stay here and protect the safety of my father and little uncle."

"Feihong, Xiaoxiao, the two of you come with me, let's go out and kill!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Yes, Master!"

The two girls and three beasts responded at the same time.

Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao, the two girls, were particularly excited and eager to try.

They had been oppressed and surrounded by the people from the Ouyang Family for so long, and they had long been holding back their anger.

Now, Master has returned, and they have regained their backbone, naturally they also want to go out and vent their anger!
