Yun Roumu frowned deeply, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
She immediately transmitted her voice, "Elder Ni Kai from the Blood Demon Sect, rumored to be at the half-step Integration Realm. I never expected to encounter him in this place."
Ever since the last attack at the Forest of Creation, Azure Cloud Sect's Leader Luo Ze personally led the retaliation against the Blood Demon Sect.
During this period, Blood Demon Sect's Master Que Yun was severely injured.
The Grand Elder Liu Lin was killed, and their disciples suffered heavy casualties.
The Azure Cloud Sect's thunderous actions displayed the might of the five sacred lands in the Central Continent, severely crippling the Blood Demon Sect.
In this situation, Yun Roumu really couldn't understand.
Why would people from the Blood Demon Sect dare to ambush them?
As Yun Roumu observed the retreat route, she spoke in a low voice, "Elder Ni Kai, if you strike at my Azure Cloud Sect again, aren't you afraid of bringing calamity upon your sect?"
Ni Kai's smile remained unchanged.
He slowly folded his paper fan and softly said, "Little girl, whether a sect will be destroyed or not is not up to you alone. Be good and come with me, to avoid making this too bloody."
"Oh, and let me remind you. Don't expect anyone to come to your rescue."
"At this moment, the Sect Master of my Blood Demon Sect has already begun to counterattack against the Azure Cloud Sect."
"They are too busy to care about you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Roumu's expression darkened.
Although she was the Saintess of the Azure Cloud Sect, her cultivation was only at the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.
The gap between her and Ni Kai's half-step Integration Realm was insurmountable.
To resist would be nothing but a fool's dream.
After careful consideration, Yun Roumu spoke softly, "I can leave with you. But my junior brother is innocent, let him go!"
Standing beside her, Ye Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
It can only be said that Yun Roumu is a nice person in reality.
Despite the circumstances, she was still concerned about his safety.
Such awareness was truly admirable.
However, as for his own safety, Ye Yu had never really worried.
What difference would the half-step Integration Realm make?
As long as he had the Lichun Jade with him, Ye Yu could even boldly proclaim, "Under Tribulation Crossing, all are ants!"
Therefore, Ye Yu also felt a hint of goodwill towards Yun Roumu.
He prepared to act to rescue her. Even if the process would be troublesome, Ye Yu had no intention of changing his mind.
Yun Roumu would never know.
Because of her words, her fate would change.
Ni Kai chuckled and shook his head, "Little girl, you don't have the qualification to negotiate with me. I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Ni Kai instantly froze in place.
Because he witnessed an unbelievable scene.
Ye Yu suddenly made a move, knocking Yun Roumu unconscious from behind.
This action left Ni Kai truly bewildered.
What was the meaning of this?
Attacking their own?
Ye Yu lifted the unconscious Yun Roumu onto his shoulders.
He softly said, "To be honest, I am an undercover agent from the demonic path sent to Azure Cloud Sect. I'm here to help with the trouble of bringing people back to the sect. Elder, please show me the way."
Ye Yu's plan was simple.
In this open space, no matter how they retreated, the huge gap in realm meant that he could not be as fast as Ni Kai.
It was better to seize an opportunity to strike when the opponent relaxed their vigilance.
To see if he could kill or severely injure him.
Of course, knocking out Yun Roumu was his token of allegiance.
It was also to prevent her from seeing things she shouldn't see.
Like the Lichun Jade and the Slaughter Immortal banner.
Ni Kai looked suspicious.
He asked coldly, "Which sect of the demonic path are you from?"
Ye Yu calmly replied, "Ten Thousand Souls Hall, led by Master Zhu Diezhen. Among those undercover with me in the Azure Cloud Sect is Wei Aoshu."
Ni Kai furrowed his brow slightly.
Knowing the name of the Ten Thousand Souls Hall's master wasn't a secret.
But being able to confidently name accomplices...
This kid might really be an undercover agent of the Ten Thousand Souls Hall.
However, Ni Kai couldn't discern Ye Yu's true identity.
But someone could!
"Elder Song, why don't you come out quickly and verify whether this is one of your Ten Thousand Souls Hall's people?"
Hearing Ni Kai's loud call, Ye Yu couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitch.
Elder Song?
Which Elder Song?
Could it be that these Blood Demon Sect people also know an Elder from the Ten Thousand Souls Hall?
And coincidentally, this Elder is nearby?
No way, could it really be?
There couldn't be such a coincidence in the world, right?
Soon, a black mist appeared next to Ni Kai.
A middle-aged man in gray robes slowly emerged from the black mist.
This person was none other than Elder Song Wuren from the Ten Thousand Souls Hall.
In fact, there are no such coincidences in the world.
The reason why Song Wuren was here was because some people from the Blood Demon Sect and the Ten Thousand Souls Hall cooperated.
They came together to ambush the Azure Cloud Sect's spirit boat.
It's just that Ni Kai was in the open while Song Wuren operated in secrecy.
At this moment, Ye Yu also found Elder Song familiar.
Suddenly, he remembered that back in the dream realm, among the four Elders who besieged Zhu Diezhen, Elder Song was present!
Damn it!
The Blood Demon Sect really brought in an Elder from the Ten Thousand Souls Hall. Do they really have such extensive connections?
Ye Yu felt a bit panicked.
He thought to himself that this wasn't good.
Pretending to be an undercover agent from the Ten Thousand Souls Hall was acceptable to deceive Wei Aoshu.
But to deceive an Elder...
The chances of success were extremely low.
If he had known earlier, he would have chosen a different sect.
But now that things had come to this, there was no point in regretting it.
To avoid revealing himself, he could only take a gamble!
Ye Yu pretended to be calm and took the initiative to greet Song Wuren.
He softly said, "Elder Song, hello. I'm Xiao Zhao. Is Elder Shang Buyi doing well?"
Song Wuren's face turned cold.
He stared at Ye Yu for a long time.
The atmosphere instantly quieted down.
As time passed, the killing intent emanating from Ni Kai grew stronger and stronger.
Just when Ye Yu thought his cover was blown and was preparing for a life-and-death struggle, Song Wuren suddenly's eyes turned red.
He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the corner of his eye.
"It's rare that someone still remembers Elder Shang."
"Xiao Zhao, you are quite thoughtful!"
Upon hearing these words, Ni Kai and Ye Yu both froze in place.
In fact, ever since Zhu Diezhen became the Hall Master of the Ten Thousand Souls Hall, she has placed many undercover agents in the righteous path to gather information.
The identities of these undercover agents are all top secret.
Apart from Zhu Diezhen, no one else knows.
Song Wuren couldn't confirm whether Ye Yu was indeed sent by the Ten Thousand Souls Hall to infiltrate the Azure Cloud Sect.
But since he could mention Elder Shang Buyi's name, it seemed plausible.
As for the name Xiao Zhao?
There are many people surnamed Zhao. Could Song Wuren remember them all?
Alas. The news of Elder Shang Buyi's death was completely suppressed by Zhu Diezhen.
Even within the Ten Thousand Souls Hall, many people were unaware, let alone an undercover agent sent out.
However, not knowing is also good.
It spares them from being heartbroken.
One of the 365 days of remembering the Grand Elder.
The more Song Wuren thought about it, the more sorrowful he felt.
He waved his hand and said, "My identity isn't suitable for lingering here. I'll take my leave first. Xiao Zhao, listen to Elder Ni's arrangements and follow them well."
"In the future, this Elder will remember your merit!"
