Chapter 4407

Wang Changsheng nodded. "I have."

"Where is it?" Liang Zhongxin pressed, his expression grave.

"Killed it." Wang Changsheng said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhongxin and the other six were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. That seven-colored Chaos Beast had the cultivation of a mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal; even late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals were no match for it. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were only mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals—how could they have killed a mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal seven-colored Chaos Beast? To deal with this seven-colored Chaos Beast, they had dispatched seven Grand Unity Golden Immortals: one at the perfected stage, two at the late stage, and four at the mid stage.

Wang Changsheng took out a yellow storage bracelet. With a slight flick of his wrist, a yellow glow swept across, revealing the corpse of the seven-colored Chaos Beast. Its body had several finger-thick blood holes, and blood continued to flow. Seeing the corpse of the seven-colored Chaos Beast, Liang Zhongxin and the other six were dumbfounded. Wang Changsheng had not lied.

"An old friend of mine was killed by this beast. I had intended to lead a team to eliminate it, but I didn't expect it to be slain by you two fellow Daoists. May I know your names?" Liang Zhongxin said courteously, his attitude much improved from before. In the cultivation world, strength commanded respect. Seeing how powerful Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were, Liang Zhongxin dared not slight them.

"I am Wang Qing, and this is my wife, Wang Lian." The Wang family's ancestral land was Qinglian Mountain in Song Kingdom. Wang Changsheng took the name Wang Qing, and Wang Ruyan took the name Wang Lian. There were many homophones, so their names alone would not lead people to associate them with the Green Lotus Immortal Couple.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang. You two have truly rid the Immortal Realm of a menace," Liang Zhongxin said.

A graceful and beautiful woman in a green dress courteously asked, "My name is Liu Yuting. Are you two fellow Daoists planning to travel to the Barren Immortal Domain?"

"Indeed, Madam Liu. Please speak freely," Wang Changsheng said.

"Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang possess extraordinary strength. If you encounter the Yin-Yang Twin Devils, please capture or eliminate them. You can claim a reward from Haotian Palace." Liu Yuting raised her right hand, and a green scroll painting and a green jade slip flew out, heading towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wang Changsheng caught the scroll and unrolled it. The painting depicted a man and a woman whose bodies were joined, their lower halves fused. "Yin-Yang Conjoined! Two Souls in One Body!" Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised. Some conjoined twins cannot be separated and share a single body but possess multiple souls. The death of one individual does not affect the others. Such cultivators are very rare.

"Precisely. They are twin siblings, born with two souls in one body that cannot be separated. They commit all manner of evil, harming the innocent. My Dao companion was tasked by Haotian Palace to apprehend them and was killed by them," Liu Yuting said, her face full of sorrow.

"Haotian Palace! Do you all obey Haotian Palace's orders?" Wang Changsheng's expression was calm as he asked curiously. The Golden Immortal cultivator who killed Wang Qingfeng was from Haotian Palace. Given that Haotian Palace was apprehending the Yin-Yang Twin Devils, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan would certainly not assist them.

"Yes, except for Fellow Daoist Xu. The factions we six belong to are all affiliated with Haotian Palace. The Yin-Yang Twin Devils killed the disciple of Immortal Lord Lieyang, and Haotian Palace has placed a hefty bounty on them: two high-grade immortal artifacts, two pure seven-colored crystal cores, and a bottle of Purple Nightmare Pills refined with seven-colored crystal cores. This pill enhances immortal power," Liu Yuting said.

"Their strength is formidable; they command the laws of life and death. If Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang encounter them, it's best to notify Haotian Palace or us. That would be safer, and providing clues also earns a generous reward," Liang Zhongxin added. Haotian Palace had issued a hefty bounty for the Yin-Yang Twin Devils, and several Grand Unity Golden Immortals had been killed by them.

"If we encounter them, we will certainly notify you or Haotian Palace," Wang Changsheng agreed.

"The jade slip contains details of the laws, divine abilities, and immortal artifacts they possess. However, the Yin-Yang Twin Devils are easy to identify; they cannot be separated, so changing their appearance is useless. What needs caution is their relatively powerful divine souls; they have mastered secret techniques for divine soul attacks," Liu Yuting said.

Wang Changsheng nodded and agreed.

Liang Zhongxin was about to say more when he took out a golden-glowing immortal transmission mirror. He struck it with an incantation, and on its surface, a beautiful young girl in a purple dress appeared. "Yu Yin, what's wrong?" Liang Zhongxin asked.

"Ancestor, the Yin-Yang Twin Devils have appeared in the Nine Yuan Sea Domain, and a large contingent of Grand Unity Golden Immortals is hurrying there," Liang Yuyin said, her tone anxious.

"Nine Yuan Sea Domain! Understood, we'll head there immediately." Liang Zhongxin's face lit up with joy. He agreed and put away the immortal transmission mirror.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, we have urgent matters to attend to, so we won't tarry. You are welcome to visit our Coral Island if you have time." After saying this, Liang Zhongxin summoned a golden-glowing flying boat—merely a mid-grade flying immortal artifact—and boarded it. Liu Yuting and the other six boarded the golden flying boat. Liang Zhongxin formed an incantation, and the golden flying boat immediately burst forth with golden light, transforming into an afterimage and vanishing.

"The Yin-Yang Twin Devils actually killed Immortal Lord Lieyang's disciple! Haotian Palace's hefty bounty means this matter is not so simple," Wang Ruyan analyzed. Wang Qingshan and others were searching for Yuan Tianshan in the Qunyang Sea Domain, and they hadn't clearly stated their true purpose to Qunyang Palace either.

"It's not our concern. We'll just continue our travels," Wang Changsheng said, put away the corpse of the seven-colored Chaos Beast, sat back down, and continued sipping his tea.

Wang Ruyan also sat down. The large green ship rested on the sea surface, drifting with the current at a leisurely pace.

***

In the Haotian Sea Domain, on Haotian Island, stood the main headquarters of Haotian Palace.

In Haotian Hall, a voluptuous young woman in a golden dress sat on the main seat, her face grim. A tall, slender elderly man in a green robe was reporting to the young woman in the golden dress, his expression tense.

"Senior Brother Xu has already led a team to the Nine Yuan Sea Domain. We have also spread the word: anyone who dares to shelter or conceal the Yin-Yang Twin Devils will be an enemy of our Haotian Palace. I don't believe anyone would openly defy our Haotian Palace for the sake of the Yin-Yang Twin Devils," the green-robed elder said slowly. This was Ning Qingshu, head of Haotian Palace's Intelligence Hall.

"Send people to blockade the Nine Yuan Sea Domain and more than ten other sea domains. We absolutely cannot let them escape. No one is allowed to lay a hand on what they possess," the young woman in the golden dress commanded, her tone severe. This was Fang Yuyao, an early-stage Grand Arch Golden Immortal and Vice Palace Master of Yama Palace.

"Yes, Martial Aunt Fang," Ning Qingshu readily agreed.

"Oh, by the way, is there any news on the whereabouts of Martial Nephew Qin Xin?" Fang Yuyao asked.

"Not yet. We've sent many people to search in the Northern Sea Immortal Domain, but we haven't found any trace of him. We asked a diviner to make deductions, and he pinpointed dozens of locations, but without specific place names, it's very difficult for us to search," Ning Qingshu looked troubled. Qin Xin was a disciple of Immortal Lord Lieyang and had a great chance of advancing to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, but he disappeared after traveling to the Northern Sea Immortal Domain.

"First, capture the Yin-Yang Twin Devils, then dispatch more personnel to search for Martial Nephew Qin. Junior Brother Liu has asked me about him several times," Fang Yuyao commanded. Immortal Lord Lieyang had already advanced to Grand Arch Golden Immortal and was currently in secluded cultivation. During this time, he had inquired about Qin Xin's whereabouts multiple times.

"Yes, Martial Aunt Fang," Ning Qingshu readily agreed, bowed, and withdrew.
