Chapter 190: Chapter 189: Unleashing the Yin Yang Immortal Lock and Sealing the Space

One, Two, Three, and Seventeen swam swiftly toward the seventh layer.

One said to Seventeen, "Faster! That way the fishing line won’t be able to catch us. You guys only get hooked when you stop to mess around."

Seventeen understood and swam with all its might.

But as they swam, the four fish suddenly saw a line.

"..."

It was back.

None of the fish underestimated the line. They all fled in a hurry.

But no matter how they fled, no matter how fast they swam, the line was always there.

’Oh god, where in the world is this line coming from?’

Seventeen trembled and said, "I have a feeling I’m done for."

"Seventeen, don’t give up! Keep up!" One shouted.

But at that very moment, the line moved. It came at an angle that was impossible for a fish to dodge.

In the blink of an eye, Seventeen was bound.

Seventeen: "..."

It knew it had escaped once, but it couldn’t escape forever. It was caught after all.

"You guys go on without me," Seventeen said.

It didn’t feel much of anything. It was probably the laziest of all eighteen fish.

The complete opposite of Shiba.

One, Two, and Three watched Seventeen get taken away, then exchanged a look.

One said, "Do we Yin Yang Fish look that easy to bully?"

Two said, "Not at all."

Three spoke up. "Lock on to Seventeen. This person isn’t getting away."

Then, One, Two, and Three formed a circle, and a ray of light emanated from within it.

"With Seventeen as the boundary, lock all space. Activate the Yin Yang Immortal Lock."

"Until Seventeen is returned, this space will never open, and time shall sink into oblivion."

Then, the three fish extended their fins and said in unison, "We call upon the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion to execute its pact with the Yin Yang Fish.

Fully unleash the Yin Yang Immortal Lock."

At that moment, the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion glowed with infinite radiance. An immense Immortal Lock emerged from the void, stretching out endlessly.

The Immortal Lock then surged into the Immortal Spirit Spring, tore through space into the mortal realm, and instantly dyed the water pillar in the sacrificial ritual with its radiance.

An immense radiance burst through the air, shaking the entire Sacrificial Space.

The entire Sacrificial Space was sealed shut. No one could enter or leave. Throughout the whole Holy Land, no one could challenge the authority of the Yin Yang Immortal Lock.

The Immortal Lock then manifested and shot directly toward the seventh layer of the Sacrificial Space.

One, Two, and Three were also instantly brought to the seventh layer.

The Immortal Lock did not vanish. Its appearance suppressed the entire Sacrificial Space, and all would have to bow before it.

Everyone watched in shock. No one was unaffected. Even Jiang Zuo was a little stunned.

The Yin Yang Immortal Lock. This was the first time he had ever seen it go on a rampage.

When the Immortal Lock connected to the seventh layer, Su Qi and the others who were fishing were sent flying. Although they weren’t injured, the shock of the event was beyond words.

They were the closest to the Immortal Lock and understood its terror best. If not for the marks they bore, they wouldn’t have even been able to look directly at it.

Just as everyone was trying to understand what was happening, a majestic voice echoed from within the Immortal Lock:

"With Seventeen as the boundary, lock all space. Activate the Yin Yang Immortal Lock."

"Until Seventeen is returned, this space will never open, and time shall sink into oblivion."

"Locking on to Yin Yang Fish 17. Commencing Yin Yang Immortal Lock coverage."

The sound of endless chains filled everyone’s ears, descending from the seventh layer. Many people then snapped to their senses.

Their first thought was to get out of there as fast as they possibly could.

However, they were all mistaken.

They could leave their respective layers, but they couldn’t leave the Sacrificial Space.

The area had been sealed.

Soon, the sixth layer was covered, and the chains reached the fifth. Many people were on this layer, and they didn’t even have time to run before the Immortal Lock swept over them.

But just as these people were about to despair, a powerful repulsive force pushed them all away.

They were pushed directly from the fifth layer down to the fourth.

They landed right in the water.

The moment they arrived, they started screaming, "Run! It’s terrifying! I felt like I was about to be crushed!"

As he spoke, the man scrambled to get away from the fourth layer.

The others were the same. Only those who had experienced it could understand the true meaning of terror.

Mo Yan and his group panicked as well. The feeling was no less intense than facing the full might of the heavens and earth.

"Shouldn’t we pack up and get out of here too?" Mo Yan shouted. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Duh! Are we supposed to stick around and wait to die?" As soon as the words were out, Mo Yan was carried off by a dark shadow.

It was the voice of Witch Dan Xue.

Chi Xue Child was shocked. "Witch Dan Xue is even taking Mo Yan with her while she escapes? Are they that close?"

Blade Master Hai Bian added, "I never would have guessed."

At this point, Chu Qing asked, "Aren’t we going to run? If it’s just a matter of taking a beating, I’m not really that scared."

Chu Qing immediately said, "I’ll carry Sister Xiao. Chu Qing, you bring up the rear."

Chu Qing: "...?"

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Stop wasting time. All Tier One cultivators, come to me. I can get you all out of here."

Xiao Xiaomo and the others quickly gathered around Blade Master Hai Bian, while the rest also planned to flee at the first opportunity.

But before leaving, Chi Xue Child looked at Jiang Zuo. "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, are you coming with us?"

Jiang Zuo didn’t turn around. He said, "You all go on ahead. You should be safe once you reach the third layer."

The group was surprised, but they didn’t overthink it and immediately started to flee.

Since Jiang Zuo had said so, there had to be a reason. His abilities were beyond their imagination.

So, it was best to focus on saving their own skins first.

Especially with the Immortal Lock descending. There were no casualties when it crushed the fifth layer, but the fourth layer might be different. Who knew if the fifth layer had just gotten lucky? It wasn’t worth the risk.

Thus, everyone fled the fourth layer without a moment’s hesitation.

Only Jiang Zuo remained seated calmly. Sweet Potato was naturally eating its apple, unconcerned by the Immortal Lock.

’It might be powerful,’ it thought, ’but I have to eat my fill first.’

Meanwhile, Jiang Zuo had already pulled Seventeen up.

He didn’t leave because he truly couldn’t. The message from the Immortal Lock had just stated that Seventeen was the boundary, and Seventeen was with him.

There was no escaping. He could only enter the Immortal Lock’s space and see what happened.

As for why everyone else was being repelled, Jiang Zuo didn’t understand that part yet.

According to his knowledge, the Immortal Lock wasn’t supposed to repel people. Anyone who entered had to accept its rules.

Breaking it wasn’t so easy.

But how could Jiang Zuo let go of the Yin Yang Fish he had just obtained? Besides, even an Immortal Lock could be challenged.

In any case, he had plenty of time now.

However, he put Seventeen, Sweet Potato, and the Broken Bridge Fishing Rod away, placing them all inside his balancing box.

’This thing is quite useful,’ he thought.

Afterward, Jiang Zuo faced the Immortal Lock alone. It arrived quickly and enveloped him in no time.

Those who hadn’t managed to escape were also enveloped by the Immortal Lock.

Jiang Zuo was very calm. He wanted to see if he would be trapped or repelled.

Jiang Zuo was then completely enveloped. After he was covered, the Immortal Lock stopped expanding. The boundary of Seventeen had been reached.

Then, Jiang Zuo felt another force wash over him, a power that swept across everyone.

The vast majority of people were forcibly repelled. The immense pressure almost crushed them to death, leaving every one of them in utter despair.

Only Jiang Zuo frowned. He could feel something inside his ring.

And it was this object that was preventing him from being repelled.

To everyone in the Fujian Coastal Area, are you all okay?

I hope you were all just a bit spooked, right?
