Half an hour later, everything returned to calmness.
The three cultivators from the Wang Family had completely disappeared.
The looks that Xiaoyun and Chen Aji cast towards Ye Yu were filled with earth-shattering changes.
You must know, although their family had fallen into decline, it didn't mean they hadn't seen the world before.
On the contrary, they had seen many geniuses, even experts who could kill across realms.
However, what had just happened completely exceeded their understanding.
Crossing two major cultivation realms to kill, this was something that defied common sense in the cultivation world.
They didn't even dare to dream of such a thing.
But Ye Yu had actually done it.
With a wave of his hand, he used a soul summoning banner, countless tortured souls wailed and howled, restricting the movements of the three Wang Family cultivators.
Afterwards, he ignored their attacks, suddenly approaching, and with a single hand, he grasped one person's head.
In just a few breaths, that person had already turned into a dry corpse.
The following events unfolded in the same manner.
Once the three from the Wang Family were dead, Ye Yu had already advanced from the late Golden Core realm directly into the mid-Nascent Soul realm.
His methods were extremely terrifying.
Undoubtedly a demonic cultivator.
Yet Xiaoyun still struggled to suppress her fear and approached Ye Yu again, expressing her gratitude.
However, he didn't say a word, just waved his hand in response.
Xiaoyun harbored no resentment towards this. She immediately bowed her head and stepped back.
Powerful individuals naturally have their own ways of doing things. This point, Xiaoyun understood well.
Moreover, whether Ye Yu was a demonic cultivator or a righteous cultivator, as long as he could safely escort them back to their family, he was the greatest benefactor under heaven.
As for his methods, they didn't matter.
However, Xiaoyun was truly curious.
What exactly was Ye Yu's true identity?
He looked so young, yet possessed such formidable strength and this extremely high-grade spirit boat.
Could it be that Ye Yu was a direct disciple of some prominent figure, or perhaps a prodigy of the demonic path?
And at this moment, Chen Aji quietly approached Xiaoyun's side.
He whispered, "Mistress, since you have already decided to return to the family, then logically, all matters of marriage within the clan must be approved by the clan leader."
"Perhaps, she has already made arrangements for your marriage. So, there are some people, some matters, just think about it and let it go, don't get involved!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyun's face turned red.
Clearly, Chen Aji thought she had a crush on Ye Yu.
How could that be?
"Uncle Chen, you mustn't speak nonsense, I don't have such thoughts."
"It's better if you don't, it's better if you don't!"
Chen Aji squeezed out a smile, slowly lowering his head.
Women, oh women, they're always saying one thing but meaning another.
Just in half an hour, you glanced at him sixty-seven times, and now you say you don't like him?
Xiaoyun turned around to look at the surroundings, but her eyes involuntarily glanced towards Ye Yu.
Actually, this man is quite handsome. If he were the young master of the Wang Family, she probably wouldn't have run away so far.
But everything was hypothetical.
And Chen Aji was right.
Even if they wanted to rebuild their family, initial development would certainly involve marriage alliances. Turning both sides into one family, that kind of relationship would be strong enough.
So, some things really shouldn't be overthought.
On the other hand, Ye Yu was concentrating deeply, absorbing the power he had gained from the three Wang Family cultivators.
Though they were in the Divine Transformation realm, their foundations were not solid.
So even transforming all three into fuel for his cultivation, Ye Yu's realm had only advanced by three minor stages.
However, the Wang Family's fire elemental techniques were quite decent.
With the help of the Spirit Devouring Technique, Ye Yu spent another hour thoroughly integrating their techniques.
They weren't top-notch, but at least they were fire elemental techniques.
Under special circumstances, they might produce unexpected effects.
After all, in this world, versatility is the key.
When Ye Yu finally settled his mind, he slowly opened his eyes and stood up.
He found that the spirit boat had arrived in a picturesque canyon.
The scenery here was breathtaking, giving Ye Yu a sense of déjà vu.
It felt like he had been here before.
But when it came to identifying this place, Ye Yu couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Curious, he walked up to Xiaoyun's side and whispered, "Where are we?"
Xiaoyun, who hadn't returned in hundreds of years, after arriving here, felt a strange sense of belonging in her heart.
She immediately opened her arms, feeling the familiar atmosphere, whispering, "This is my childhood home. The site of our family."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu's lips twitched slightly.
Women really are so rude when they speak.
I ask where this is, and you say it's your home? Can't you just say the name of the place?
You're quite audacious with your assumptions!
Before Ye Yu could continue to inquire, Xiaoyun suddenly turned and said, "Daoist Ye, I've decided to introduce you to my elder sister. She's a great cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing realm."
Ye Yu didn't refuse.
In the Central Continent, a cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing stage is definitely at the pinnacle.
It wouldn't hurt to make an acquaintance.
Who knows, if she's pleased, she might even bring out some high-grade artifacts to thank him for saving Xiaoyun.
With this in mind, Ye Yu stored away the spirit boat, and together with Xiaoyun and Chen Aji, flew towards the canyon.
Here, Ye Yu saw many scenes of ruin.
Weeds covered the ground, but there were already a dozen or so young men and women gathered around.
They stood on the ground, as if waiting for something.
Seeing Xiaoyun bringing someone over, a beautiful-looking woman spoke in a deep voice, "Xiaoyun, why did you bring an outsider here? Don't you know the rules!"
The speaker was Jiangmei, Xiaoyun's cousin.
Jiangmei's words immediately caught the attention of the others.
They all turned their gazes towards Ye Yu and Chen Aji.
In fact, Xiaoyun, relieved to have survived a disaster, was too happy and forgot the rules.
This is the ancestral hall site of the family. According to the rules, only direct descendants of the family can enter.
As for other attendants or even illegitimate children, they are not allowed to approach.
"Dear young masters and ladies, I, as an old servant with a confused mind, forgot the rules. Please forgive me. I'll leave now!"
Chen Aji bowed slightly, and after saying that, he was about to pull Ye Yu away.
Xiaoyun's face turned red.
She had planned to introduce Ye Yu to her sister here, but now they were about to be driven away directly.
Immediately, she said in a deep voice, "Uncle Chen, Daoist Ye, if you're leaving, I'll accompany you. I don't have to stay here!"
At this moment, a gleam of light shone from the east.
Seeing this situation, a middle-aged man with a calm appearance spoke solemnly, "That's enough. The clan leader is about to arrive here. Xiaoyun, take your people and stand in the corner and wait. After hundreds of years apart, don't act rashly now!"
This statement immediately silenced Xiaoyun.
The speaker was her elder brother among peers, Wangchuan. He had high prestige.
If not for her sister's breakthrough to the Tribulation Crossing realm, he would have undoubtedly been the next clan leader.
Since he spoke, Xiaoyun dared not disobey.
She could only pass a look of apology to Ye Yu, then took him and Chen Aji to the corner to wait.
Jiangmei snorted coldly, her eyes filled with disdain.
Then, the light in the sky grew brighter and brighter.
Wangchuan immediately bowed first and said, "We respectfully welcome the arrival of the Bu clan leader, Bu Lingfei!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu's expression changed instantly.
