Yan Qingyang rose into the air, feeling as if his throat was being strangled and he couldn't catch his breath.

”What should we do?” She was burning with anxiety.

It seemed like he was sure that he had the Fire Spirit Fruit, but he had worked so hard to obtain the latter, so how could he give it to him? If he was given it, what would he do?

But if he didn't give it to her … As Yan Qingyan saw the fierce light in the old man's eyes, he understood that if he didn't hand over the Fire Spirit Fruit, he would die without a doubt.

Give it up, he was unwilling! If he did not hand it over, his life was at stake!

Yan Qingyang sighed to himself and was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly heard a cold voice float over, ”Senior Gonggong, how have you been?! However, what is Senior doing capturing the disciples of our Cloud Flower Sect? ”

Then, Yan Qingyang felt his neck loosen as he no longer felt a strangling sensation on his neck. She landed on the ground, panting heavily. When she raised her head, she saw a beautiful young woman standing in front of forefather Gesun.

It was indeed Adept Yuping.

Yan Qingyang was overjoyed as he quickly shouted, ”Adept, save me!”

Only she knew that Daoist Jade Screen wasn't at the late stage of the Aurous Core stage but had long since reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Only she knew that Daoist Jade Screen wasn't at the late stage of the Aurous Core stage, but had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

However, Yu Ping was only a little over a hundred years old and was considered the youngest amongst all the cultivators with a cultivation level at the Nascent Soul Stage.

That was why Yan Qingyang had called for help in surprise.

Daoist Jade Screen rolled up her sleeves and pulled Yan Qingyang to her side. Then, she gave a shallow bow to Ancestor Gonggong and said, ”I wonder how this little girl from our sect offended senior?”

The old man's face turned red. He snorted and said, ”I have something to discuss with this girl. Yuping, move out of the way!”

This time around, he was the one who was unreasonable. Thus, he was unable to say what he was thinking. However, upon thinking about the difficulties he had faced, the Old Ancestor clenched his teeth and decided to not show any shame.

Thinking that Daoist Master Yuping was only an Aurous Core stage cultivator, he tried to snatch Yan Qingyang away without explanation.

As such, he waved his sleeve and a row of sword lights appeared. Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh. He grabbed at the air with his other hand and grabbed at Yan Qingyang.

Yu Ping's eyes turned cold. She waved her sleeve and the row of sword lights suddenly turned around and flew towards the old man. After that, she brought Yan Qingyang with her and the old man pounced on empty air.

”Senior, if you have something to say, then say it. Why are you so anxious to make a move?” Daoist Jade Screen asked leisurely.

With a flip of his hand, that row of sword radiance disappeared. He looked at Daoist Yuping with a grave expression. After a while, his expression turned to one of envy and disappointment as he said, ”Yuping, you have reached the Nascent Soul stage!”

Yu Ping's earlier move had exposed her cultivation level.

The old ancestor was indeed envious and disappointed. He envied Daoist Master Yuping for reaching the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age, but was also left with a lot of time to reach the Soul Formation stage. He was disappointed that his many years of longevity had yet to break through to the Soul Formation stage.

Adept Jade nodded slightly.

The old ancestor clenched his teeth and said, ”Even so, you still have to keep that girl for me!”

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and a row of long swords appeared in front of him. With a wave of his sleeves, those long swords shot up into the sky with whooshing sounds, stabbing towards Yan Qingyang and Daoist Yuping.
