Ye Yu was greatly shocked.
The Qinglian Thunder Sword Art is the foundation of the Azure Cloud Sect's establishment?
Only the direct line of elders and the Saintess can learn it?
What kind of joke is this?
Then, what is the True Qinglian Thunder Sword Art?
Does only the Sect Master have the qualification to learn it?
But...
Was the Qinglian Thunder Sword Art really that important?
Ye Yu suddenly remembered.
In the dream, the fairy who sent the Qinglian Thunder Sword Art seemed to have said that it was stolen.
Hmm...
It doesn't matter. It's enough that it can kill the enemy.
Honestly, Ye Yu originally intended to use the Qinglian Thunder Sword Art to block Hou Bujian for a moment.
However, he didn't expect that a single sword strike would actually kill him instantly.
The power of this technique is indeed immense.
But how should he explain this to Wei Aoshu?
Just as Ye Yu was troubled, Wei Aoshu suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Indeed, knowing Elder Hongluan's character, nothing she does would surprise anyone. This Qinglian Thunder Sword Art, she taught it to you, didn't she?"
"...Yes, she did teach it to me. Please don't mention this matter."
Ye Yu pretended to be serious.
Hmm...
That's right.
It's indeed like this.
But Master Hongluan taught me the True Qinglian Thunder Sword Art. I haven't had time to cultivate it yet.
It looks like I'll have to study it carefully later.
The power of the True Qinglian Thunder Sword Art must be even greater.
Moreover, with a foundation in the Qinglian Thunder Sword Art, practicing this version shouldn't be too difficult.
While they were talking, several ghosts rushed towards them from a distance.
Seeing this, Wei Aoshu immediately took out a communication stone from her storage ring, placing it in Ye Yu's hand.
"My spiritual energy is completely exhausted. Taking me with you, you won't get far. Don't mind me. Go outside the Forest of Creation and call for help using this communication stone. Otherwise, neither of us will survive."
Ye Yu firmly pushed the communication stone back into Wei Aoshu's hand.
In a serious tone, he said, "You handle the call for help. Find a place to hide first. I'll lead these things away!"
The next moment...
Ye Yu swiftly darted forward, whistling at the approaching ghosts.
He successfully drew their attention and began running towards a distant location.
Seeing this scene, Wei Aoshu felt a warm surge in her heart.
She then steadied herself, leaping onto a tree, and began concentrating, restoring her spiritual energy.
Meanwhile, due to Ye Yu's mad dash, the ghosts gathering behind him grew increasingly numerous.
Roughly counting, there were nearly a hundred of them.
Ye Yu looked back and saw a dense, black mass.
His heart raced with anxiety.
But then, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, standing still in place.
Allowing these ghosts to come closer and closer.
Ye Yu wasn't seeking a death wish.
He had suddenly noticed the presence of the Lichun Jade at his waist.
This top-grade spiritual artifact could withstand even a full-powered strike from a Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivator.
How could he fear these ghosts?
Sure enough, as the surrounding ghosts closed in and attacked, the Lichun Jade around Ye Yu's waist shimmered with a faint light, enveloping him in an invisible shield.
Hundreds of ghosts attacked relentlessly, yet they couldn't harm Ye Yu in the slightest.
Seeing this situation, Ye Yu felt greatly relieved.
If they couldn't break through his defense, he was invincible.
Hmm...
Truly worthy of being a top-grade spiritual treasure, it had its merits.
But after a moment, Ye Yu began to feel annoyed.
These ghosts around him seemed tireless, even though they couldn't break through the defense of the Lichun Jade. They still surrounded Ye Yu completely.
This was quite irritating.
So, Ye Yu immediately used the Ten Thousand Souls Technique, attempting to see if he could subdue them for his own use.
When Ye Yu lightly touched the forehead of one ghost, it shuddered all over.
Instead of attacking Ye Yu, it turned and began howling at the ghosts beside it.
Ye Yu's eyes lit up immediately.
The Ten Thousand Souls Technique was indeed effective.
Alright then!
Let's get started!
Come, let's have some fun!
...
On the other side.
At the outer edge of the Forest of Creation, three men clad in black robes formed a triangle shape.
They completely surrounded the Saintess Yun Roumu in the middle.
On the ground nearby, the bodies of Qin Tianya and Wu Qifa lay.
There was no doubt, the only one left standing now was Yun Roumu.
She held her sword in hand, vigilantly scanning her surroundings.
From the recent exchange, Yun Roumu realized that each of the three men opposite her surpassed her in strength.
She had intended to seek help from Azure Cloud Sect.
But the entire Forest of Creation was completely shrouded in a mysterious force, cutting off all communication methods.
It seemed this was definitely a premeditated ambush.
Just as Yun Roumu pondered how to break free, the leader of the black-robed men suddenly trembled all over.
Then he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, the other two black-robed men asked anxiously, "Luo Kai, what's wrong with you?"
"The ghosts I summoned are escaping my control repeatedly. Damn it, what's going on?"
The man named Luo Kai wiped the blood from his mouth with his hand, and continued in a deep voice, "Wang Liang, Tao Hua, let's settle this quickly. To prevent any unforeseen changes!"
Hearing this, Wang Liang and Tao Hua nodded in agreement.
Then they closed in on Yun Roumu once more.
"Come back with us to the Blood Demon Sect obediently, and we'll spare your life. Otherwise, this will be your burial ground!"
Yun Roumu frowned deeply.
So these people were from the Blood Demon Sect.
Azure Cloud Sect and the Blood Demon Sect were mortal enemies. Both sides had been in constant friction.
Not long ago, the Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect had even led a group to wipe out a branch of the Blood Demon Sect.
She hadn't expected these people to retaliate so quickly.
Were they trying to use her to negotiate with Azure Cloud Sect?
It was precisely during Yun Roumu's momentary lapse that Luo Kai and Tao Hua found an opportunity.
They simultaneously formed hand seals.
From the soft ground surged countless streams of fresh red blood.
Soon forming a barrier that completely enveloped Yun Roumu.
The blood barrier was extremely thick. No matter how Yun Roumu resisted, she couldn't break through it at all.
The three from the Blood Demon Sect immediately showed a smirk.
Mission accomplished.
Now all that remained was to take Yun Roumu back to the Blood Demon Sect.
Tao Hua immediately began to crouch down, starting to set up the teleportation array.
Meanwhile, Wang Liang surveyed the surroundings.
In a deep voice, he said, "Why hasn't Hou Bujian come over yet? Could he not be coming with us?"
"Never mind him. Once the array is ready, we'll leave. Let him stay and fend for himself!"
Luo Kai shook his head slightly.
Looking towards the depths of the Forest of Creation, his expression became extremely serious.
Clearly, he still hadn't figured out why, out of nowhere, over a hundred ghosts had suddenly gone out of control.
What on earth was happening?
Meanwhile, trapped within the barrier, Yun Roumu's face instantly turned pale.
Though she couldn't see anything outside, she could clearly hear their conversation.
Yun Roumu had placed her last hope on Senior Hou Bujian.
After all, among their group in the Forest of Creation, besides her, Hou Bujian had the highest cultivation.
But now it seemed Hou Bujian was not an ally, but an enemy.
Her final hope shattered, Yun Roumu felt like all was lost.
Just as the teleportation array was about to be set up, a figure dashed out from the dense forest.
Instantly, everyone present turned their attention to him.
It was Ye Yu.
As their gazes met, the scene fell into a dead silence.
