Chapter 725: Ambushed

“An existence more powerful than the Allpine Treefather? Who could it be in the Stone Medicine World?” After hearing this, the madam couldn’t help but be moved.

In this world, everyone knew of the treefather’s prestige. Although he didn’t claim to be a G.o.dking, many people in this world respected him as one. For many generations, it was common knowledge that outside of Immortal Emperors, it would be hard to find someone stronger than him.

The madam had heard that there were a few existences even stronger than the treefather, but she had never met them or even heard of them showing themselves.

Tie Yi shook his head and said: “I don’t know the details, I only heard that Supreme Celestial Being Ye Qingcheng is unbelievable and actually managed to convince a few old undyings to come out. An old undying that had slept for millions of years also emerged to be his dao protector.”

“Invincible giant?” Li Qiye grinned and said: “So what? Those who block my path, no matter who they are, shall be killed without mercy!”

Having said that, he glanced at Tie Yi and said indifferently: “It seems that your news is quite up to date, you really know many things.”

“Haha, thank you for your praise. This little one has only heard rumors, that’s all.” Tie Yi rubbed his palms together and wryly smiled in a very humble manner.

Li Qiye only smiled and didn’t delve deeper. He said: “Let us go. Once we settle down and prepare the ingredients, I will start the cauldron for you.”

Tie Yi became excited and immediately responded: “Thank you, Young n.o.ble. As long as Young n.o.ble gives the order, I will obey it even at the risk of my life.”

Li Qiye didn’t say anything else and got on his carriage to continue the journey. However, they didn’t get far when suddenly, a buzzing sound rang in the distance. A dao rune appeared above them and turned into an ancient formation at an unbelievable speed.

“Whooosh—!” The ancient formation suddenly rained down countless arrows that quickly sealed the surrounding thousand mile radius.

“We’re being ambushed!” The madam shouted with a shocked expression. The moment she wanted to protect Li Qiye, she found that the rain of arrows from the sky was not aiming at them.

“Clank!” The sound of a series of chains clanking together appeared. In the blink of an eye while the madam was startled, the entire s.p.a.ce here was sealed by the arrows that turned into a giant lock.

This ancient lock could seal the heavens above and suppress h.e.l.l below. It suddenly appeared with the intention of sealing the entire group.

“This is…” In this split second, both the madam and Tie Yi were astounded since they couldn’t move; it was as if their bodies were chained by something.

Even Li Qiye was no exception. A gigantic lock capable of sealing even time itself trapped him despite his incredible power.

However, Li Qiye remained calm unlike the frightened madam and Tie Yi. Only his eyes narrowed as he gazed at the formation in the sky.

“Moo—” During this perilous moment, the Imperial Draco-Bull used an unbelievable might to escape the lock. It roared and pulled the carriage into the sky! It traversed thousands of miles in just the blink of an eye with astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

Right when it escaped the border, the formation in the sky emitted a bright light. Countless arrows — once again — shot over the earth to create a new lock to seal the bull once more.

However, as the bull traversed the sky, it was like a dragon soaring in the nine heavens and seemed to be able to escape the shackles of the world's laws. It seemed to have eluded the fabric of s.p.a.ce and time. No matter what the lock tried to do, it was unable to stop the bull.

With continuous detonations, the bull was able to pull the carriage away from the thousand mile radius that the formation encompa.s.sed and crossed the earth. In the blink of an eye, it traveled over one million miles. Such speed would stun just about anyone! Of course, its great name was not just for show.

By the time the bull stopped, it had thoroughly escaped from the formation; the locks around Madam Zi Yan and company all disappeared. The madam finally calmed down, but she was still quite shaken despite being a Heavenly King. She took a deep break and said: “Who ambushed us? I’m afraid that that formation was either of the emperor or G.o.dking level!”

She was quite powerful, but the seal from the lock in the sky had rendered her immobile without any opportunity to resist. Such a powerful suppression astounded her!

“Is it that group from the White Cloud Temple?” The madam asked with doubt. Earlier, they had a fight with the temple, and now, someone suddenly ambushed them. This was quite a coincidence.

Tie Yi shuddered and exclaimed while aghast: “The person who ambushed us must be a legendary master at the very least. Even if they aren’t a G.o.d-Monarch, they would still be an incredible Virtuous Paragon!”
