Chapter 174 - Flatten the Mountain
Yun Wuci’s words not only took Li Nian’an by surprise, but also astonished the surrounding righteous cultivators.
Although the Guiyuan Sect was founded relatively recently, its influence had rapidly expanded in the cultivation world in recent years.
It was said that the Guiyuan Sect’s leader was even a Tribulation Crossing-stage cultivator.
In an era where Ascension Realm cultivators were already considered legendary, Tribulation Crossing Realm was the ultimate ceiling for all cultivators.
With such powerful strength, and a celestial beauty to boot…How could such a perfect person be interested in a mere disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect?
Especially the cultivators of the Kaishan Fortress and Xuandu Sect. Looking at Yun Wuci’s stunning beauty, they envied Ye Yu to no end.
The Azure Cloud Sect disciples felt the same way.
First, there was the saintess Yun Roumu, and now the Tribulation Crossing Realm sect leader.
To be honest, we wouldn’t even dare to dream of such things!
Yun Wuci was very excited, ignoring the strange looks from everyone. She hurriedly asked, “Tell me, where is my husband?”
Li Nian’an looked around, suddenly realizing that Ye Yu was missing. He muttered to himself, “Hmm, he was just here. Where did he go? Did he leave?”
The speaker was unaware, but the listener was intent.
Li Nian’an’s words immediately caused Yun Wuci’s face to turn pale.
Could it be that Ye Yu was still hiding from her, because the damage she inflicted in the dream was too great?
Thinking of this possibility, tears welled up in Yun Wuci’s eyes.
At this moment, she cared about nothing else. As long as Ye Yu could return to her side, she wouldn’t mind how many partners he had.
But her only plea was that Ye Yu should not hide from her!
At this moment, a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect waved his hand in the crowd and shouted, “Sect Leader, I think I just saw Ye Yu and Fang Yingshuang being taken away by a demon cultivator.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Wuci’s whole body shook.
She moved swiftly, instantly appearing in front of this disciple, coldly asking, “Are you sure? Ye Yu was taken away by a demon cultivator?”
The disciple nodded, “Absolutely certain. I just wanted to say so, but there were too many people in front of me, and I couldn’t get through!”
Yun Wuci was immediately filled with frustration.
However, at this moment, she had no time to dwell on this issue and sternly ordered, “Everyone from the Guiyuan Sect, listen up. Immediately assemble and launch a full-scale attack on the Crimson Yin Cliff, ensure Ye Yu’s safety at all costs.”
Yu Hai clasped his hands and agreed.
Meanwhile, the leading elder from Kaishan Fortress stepped forward, gently speaking, “Sect Leader Yun, the Crimson Yin Cliff is deeply entrenched within the Juetian Mountain Range. The majority of the mountain range has been turned into a large formation. An impulsive attack would likely result in heavy casualties. We should consider our approach more carefully!”
Yun Wuci snorted coldly, “If you’re afraid of dying, stay back. No one is forcing you to join in. As for the formation? Flatten the mountain, and it’ll be fine!”
With that, Yun Wuci suddenly soared into the sky, quickly reaching above the Juetian Mountain Range. Her hands formed seals.
Soon, the clear night sky was covered with dark clouds.
But there was no thunder.
Instead, there was a strong, oppressive heat.
And then, red flames began to appear in the sky.
The people present were puzzled.
Isn’t this the prelude to a lightning technique? Why does it feel so intensely hot?
Two breaths later, Yun Wuci demonstrated with her actions what it was all about.
Huge fireballs descended from the sky, plummeting fiercely onto the Juetian Mountain Range.
Heavenly Fire Meteorites!
The power was immense, instantly piercing through the protective grand formation.
Countless heavenly fire meteorites fell, and the land within a thousand miles shook violently.
Not only were the peaks of the Juetian Mountain Range completely shattered, but each impact also created a sea of fire!
Seeing this scene, everyone present turned pale.
Is this the true power of a tribulation crossing-stage cultivator? When she said she would flatten the mountain, she truly meant it?
You know, the Juetian Mountain Range was a vast mountain range, with countless peaks standing tall.
Yet, in just a few breaths, it was reduced to a state of utter devastation, covered in flames, like a human purgatory.
Such power was truly terrifying.
At the same time.
Within the Crimson Yin Cliff, Deng Yuanqiu had just finished reporting everything to Wan Boxiang.
The latter’s face looked indignant.
Just as Wan Boxiang was preparing to question Ye Yu and Fang Yingshuang about how they knew their secret signal, the entire Crimson Yin Cliff began shaking violently.
Debris was falling everywhere.
Wan Boxiang looked up in disbelief.
He had always been extremely cautious by nature.
Originally, the Crimson Yin Cliff was situated on a cliff north of the Juetian Mountain Range.
For safety reasons, Wan Boxiang had created a new space beneath the Juetian Mountain Range. He and his disciples had all retreated into it.
He also transformed the entire Juetian Mountain Range into a massive formation. Harnessing the power of earth veins, it could both attack and defend.
No matter how many righteous sect cultivators came, Wan Boxiang was never afraid.
But now, the entire mountain range was shaking violently, even affecting the headquarters of the Crimson Yin Cliff below the ground.
What on earth was happening?
Could someone be attacking the mountain from outside?
Wan Boxiang immediately gathered his men and rushed outside to investigate.
Before leaving…he instructed Deng Yuanqiu to kill Ye Yu and Fang Yingshuang.
After his departure, Deng Yuanqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
How fortunate, really lucky. With the major threat at hand, Wan Boxiang hadn’t punished him. That was the best outcome.
As for killing?
That was too easy.
“Fellow Daoists, if you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck. As for how you knew the signal? It doesn’t matter anymore. You’re going to die anyway, aren’t you?”
Hearing this, Fang Yingshuang trembled all over, quickly asking, “B-Big Brother, what do we do?”
Ye Yu’s face showed a hint of a smile, gazing at Deng Yuanqiu with a playful look.
This infuriated the latter, even giving him the feeling, as if he were the prey being targeted.
This made Deng Yuanqiu extremely displeased, and he immediately walked over, coldly saying, “You little brat, even facing death, you dare to look at me like that. You really have a death wish!”
Deng Yuanqiu suddenly raised his hand, attempting to grab Ye Yu by the neck.
But his wrist was abruptly seized by Ye Yu.
No matter how much force Deng Yuanqiu used, it was utterly useless.
“Actually, you’ve got it wrong. It’s you who has the bad luck for encountering us!”
Ye Yu’s mind moved.
In an instant, the sound of countless swords ringing out echoed.
Using the Profound Heart Sword technique, Deng Yuanqiu’s body was turned into a sieve.
His Nascent Soul tried to escape, but it was captured by Ye Yu using the Ten Thousand Souls Technique.
Everything happened too quickly, so fast that Fang Yingshuang didn’t even have time to react.
It was all over in an instant.
Ye Yu glanced at him.
“Are you afraid?”
Fang Yingshuang nodded, then shook his head.
His face turned slightly red, as if he had a thousand words to say.
But Ye Yu pointed to the other side.
Fang Yingshuang turned his head to look, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in the back of his head.
He fell unconscious.
Subsequently, Ye Yu took out the soul summoning banner Slaughter Immortal, stuffing Deng Yuanqiu’s soul into it.
Recently, the soul summoning banner had been neglected. It had been constantly sending out eager thoughts.
So, Ye Yu decided to take this opportunity to give Slaughter Immortal a good meal, hoping to elevate it to the level of a semi-immortal artifact as soon as possible!
