### Chapter 125: Stepping Forward to Resolve, An Unexpected Turn

Grand Young Master of Xuanyang Immortal Manor!

It turned out that a high-ranking figure from Xuanyang Immortal Manor had arrived!

The people of Biyan Cave sighed in relief, knowing that Mo Wu was on their side.

“We pay our respects to the Grand Young Master.”

Everyone in the crowd was aware of Xuanyang Immortal Manor’s reputation, and upon learning the identity of the visitor, they all bowed in greeting.

The Black-clad Man waved his hand, lifting the spatial confinement.

Then, he looked up at the heavens and said calmly, “That Dao Brother, since you are involved, come down and let this Young Master resolve the matter with you.”

In the depths of the void, the Celestial Immortal clad in black armor, wearing a bronze mask, trembled slightly.

He realized that the space around him was also constrained!

“Indeed, a master of manipulating laws!”

After a brief moment of surprise, the man calmed down.

Though the other party’s law manipulation was impressive, it was not impossible for him to force his way through.

“What do you two mean? If you want to leave, I can take you out. If you want to stay, I will follow that person’s suggestion and deal with this matter.”

The man appeared to be questioning the two, but in reality, he was merely seeking Chen Ansheng’s opinion.

Chen Ansheng pondered; the events of today had completely blindsided him.

It was truly dangerous.

If not for the powerful figures who had come to assist him, he might very well have met his end here.

As Chen Ansheng hesitated, Yao Jianyuan weakly spoke up, “Senior, I request that you take me there.”

Hearing this, the man turned his attention to Chen Ansheng, “And you?”

Chen Ansheng glanced at the weak Yao Jianyuan and the fellow disciples below, gritted his teeth, and said, “Please, Senior, take us both back!”

Because he knew very well that the series of events that occurred today were mostly due to him.

With the high-ranking members of Xuanyang Immortal Manor here to resolve the situation, why still hide?

There ought to be an explanation for everything!

“Very well.”

Once Chen Ansheng expressed his stance, the man showed no hesitation, directly agreeing, and in a flash, took the two to stand in front of the Grand Young Master.

The Grand Young Master fixed his gaze on the Black-armored Man and asked, “May I ask why you are intervening in this matter?”

The Black-armored Man replied nonchalantly, “I am his protector; it is my duty.”

Protector?

The crowd was astonished, their gazes turning to the heavily injured Yao Jianyuan, forgetting all about Chen Ansheng.

There was no other reason; everyone knew that Chen Ansheng came from a humble background and could not possibly have a Celestial Immortal as a protector.

“That is fine,” the Grand Young Master slightly nodded.

Then, he looked at the bloodied Ji Guiyi, who could no longer move, and said, “I already understand the cause and effect of this matter. I have stepped in this time only to persuade all sides to cease hostilities and settle grievances with a smile.”

“Get lost!”

Ji Guiyi was the first to look up and angrily scold, blood covering his face, yet his imposing aura remained unweakened.

“Grand Young Master, this thief has killed our family head! We cannot possibly reconcile with him. No matter the cost, we will kill this thief!”

“Yes, we will not let him off!”

The members of the Zhou Family angrily expressed their attitudes.

Seeing this situation, Mo Wu couldn’t help but feel a headache.

It was true that Xuanyang Immortal Manor held great power, but they weren’t at a level where they could manipulate the various families at will—not at least in a superficial sense.

“Everyone, please calm down.”

The Grand Young Master, however, was calm and collected, raising his hand and pointing toward the space ahead.

A ripple of space spread out, and a bloody corpse fell out.

Then, he waved his hand forward, and a green light enveloped the bloody body.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the bloody corpse visibly began to form new skin.

“Hmm!”

Before long, the person flipped over and stood up—it was Zhou Taiyuan.

“Family head!”

“Grand Young Master, what a marvelous technique!”

“Thank you for your help, Grand Young Master!”

The members of the Zhou Family rejoiced at Zhou Taiyuan’s revival, some even unable to hold back their tears.

“The law of life—this fellow is quite formidable!”

The Black-armored Man was also astonished; to grasp even a strand of the law of life at the initial stage of Celestial Immortal was something unimaginable for him.

“Damn it, here I am, Ghost Grandfather calling myself a genius, and today I’ve met someone who kills better than me and has more impressive methods… what genius is that!”

The face of Ghost Grandfather, hidden under his mask, twisted with jealousy.

“Zhou Old Man, how do you feel?”

The Grand Young Master looked at Zhou Taiyuan, rare smile appearing on his face.

“It was Grand Young Master Lin who intervened; I am much better now. Thank you so much for saving my life, Grand Young Master; I am deeply grateful.”

Zhou Taiyuan bowed deeply, feeling extremely thankful for having his life saved.

“It was just a matter of convenience. Besides, I have long heard about your heroic deeds, Old Zhou, for wielding a purple-golden saber and being invincible in Nanzhan. I have admired you greatly, and to see that your might remains unchanged today is indeed true to your reputation.”

“Where, where, great heroes don’t speak of past bravery. I beg your pardon for making Grand Young Master laugh, hehe.”

Though Zhou Taiyuan knew these were sycophantic words, hearing them from the Grand Young Master still brought him inner delight. He secretly mused that if Yao Jianyuan could have even half of the composure of this Grand Young Master Lin in his actions, it would be enough to thank the heavens.

Beside them, Mo Wu also thought to himself that the Grand Young Master’s few words had won everyone over; it was truly impressive!

As for the already hidden Zhu Min, he looked on with disdain, thinking, “That guy is truly shameless; he’s actually lowering himself to flatter an old bastard like Zhou Taiyuan?”

His two elder companions sighed inwardly, thinking if he had this level of capability, he wouldn’t have been suppressed by his peers in the family, allowing us to humiliate alongside him.

On the other side, having treated Zhou Taiyuan’s injuries, Grand Young Master Lin once again turned to Ji Guiyi.

“Brother Ji, I understand your feelings, but…”

“Shut up!”

Before Grand Young Master Lin could finish, Ji Guiyi spat out blood and snarled, “Who do you think you are to mediate! When I battled on the battlefield, I’ve killed countless self-important beings like you; you are not fit to meddle in my affairs!”

“Ji Guiyi, do not be arrogant!”

As soon as these words were uttered, Mo Wu became furious and was about to rush forward but was stopped by Grand Young Master Lin.

“Old Mo, stand down.”

Then Grand Young Master Lin pressed his palms together, channeling the green law power into Ji Guiyi.

“Brother Ji, if I told you that your daughter hasn’t truly perished, would you be willing to accept my mediation in this matter?”

Ji Guiyi, who had thought vengeance was hopeless and that he would die, decided to give no face to anyone.

But when this Grand Young Master Lin suddenly said this, it caught him off guard and disrupted his composure.

He looked up, his bloodied face trembling, “Grand Young Master, you… are you saying my daughter still has a chance to come back to life?”

Grand Young Master Lin answered blandly, “If she were dead with no soul, there would be no hope. But it just so happens that those tombstones in the ancestral grounds of Ninefold Flower Mountain have soul-locking formations inscribed on them. This formation was likely set by the ancestors of Ninefold Flower Mountain to prevent grave robbers with abilities to wander into the divine, yet it inadvertently keeps the precious souls bound within the stones. As long as the soul exists, there is infinite possibility. What do you think, Brother Ji?”

Hearing these words, not only Ji Guiyi but everyone else was astonished.

Even Chen Ansheng couldn’t help but feel stirred.

If what Grand Young Master Lin said was true, it meant that Ji Ziling had the potential to be reborn. If she could truly be revived, then this Grand Young Master Lin would be too extraordinary!
