Originally, after completely claiming the ghosts, Ye Yu prepared to return along the same path to find Wei Aoshu.
But due to being chased earlier and in a panic, for a moment, he couldn't find the way back.
Unexpectedly, as he walked, he ended up here.
Before him were three men dressed in black robes, looking every bit like major villains from a TV drama.
Beside them, there was a huge cage made of fresh blood, its contents unclear.
Even without saying, Ye Yu could tell these people were definitely not good.
Putting safety first, Ye Yu immediately wanted to leave.
But Wang Liang sneered with a smile.
"Didn't expect there would still be a fish that slipped through the net."
"Kill him and get ready to go!"
After glancing at Ye Yu, Luo Kai immediately gave the order.
Just a mere Golden Core stage cultivator won't delay too much time.
After Wang Liang nodded in agreement, he slowly approached Ye Yu.
At the same time, a thick blood mist emanated from his body.
Seeing this, Ye Yu frowned.
His gaze sharpened.
Having crossed into this fantasy world, after finally getting a system, who would not want to live?
So, anyone who doesn't want him alive, well, they shouldn't expect to live either.
Ye Yu wielded his sword horizontally, ready to fight to the death.
But in Wang Liang's eyes, this was just a dying struggle.
A Golden Core stage trying to resist a Nascent Soul stage? It was just a joke.
In an instant, Wang Liang arrived in front of Ye Yu.
A dense blood aura surrounded him as he suddenly thrust out a palm.
The imagined scene of Ye Yu's death did not occur.
All of Wang Liang's attacks were blocked by an invisible force.
Immediately after, Ye Yu moved forward instead of retreating, directly grabbing Wang Liang's hands.
He immediately unleashed the Ten Thousand Souls Technique.
The hundreds of ghosts he had just subdued suddenly appeared, emitting painful screams.
In a very short time, they devoured Wang Liang to the bone.
Seeing this, Luo Kai and Tao Hua no longer had their previous composure.
"Was it you who stole my ghosts?"
Luo Kai was completely dumbfounded.
He couldn't believe it.
Ghosts and spirits nurtured painstakingly for over a hundred years, actually snatched away by a Golden Core stage cultivator?
And the ghosts in this kid's hands even erupted with stronger power.
Such profound soul-controlling techniques. he definitely wasn't an ordinary disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect!
Luo Kai's expression turned grave.
Immediately clasping his hands together, when he opened them again, he had already taken out a gigantic Soul Summoning Banner.
He suddenly thrust it into the ground.
In an instant, within a radius of a hundred miles, ghostly cries and wolf howls resounded.
Even the temperature dropped significantly, giving an icy and gloomy feeling.
The next moment, a tremendous suction burst forth from the Soul Summoning Banner, causing the hundreds of ghosts around to freeze in place.
Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Want to use the Soul Summoning Banner to summon the ghosts back again?
How could it be so easy?
Ye Yu formed a complex Daoist seal with one hand, coldly commanding, "Gather!"
The hundreds of souls suddenly erupted with an extremely thick ghostly aura.
Then they gathered together, entwining and converging.
Soon, a massive ghost appeared. A sinister aura pervaded its entire body.
Overall, it looked almost substantial.
It roared at Luo Kai, directly grabbing the Soul Summoning Banner and snapping it in half.
Then it picked up Luo Kai nearby and threw him into its mouth, chewing him up on the spot.
Painful screams echoed throughout the scene.
Now, as the sole survivor of this operation, Tao Hua trembled uncontrollably, continuously retreating backwards.
"No, don't come closer!"
With a thought from Ye Yu, the giant ghost clenched its fist and suddenly exerted force.
It instantly smashed Tao Hua to death.
After completing all of this, the ghost's body slowly dissipated.
Once again, the myriad souls converged into Ye Yu's body.
This was the unique aspect of the Ten Thousand Souls Technique; unifying multiple souls into one.
Though the quantity wasn't as vast, the power was still immensely formidable.
However, it consumed too much spiritual energy.
Ye Yu felt completely drained, as if his entire being had been hollowed out.
After Luo Kai, Tao Hua, and Wang Liang all died, the blood-red cage slowly began to break apart.
Saintess Yun Roumu finally regained her freedom.
When she saw the scene around her, she couldn't help but gasp in shock.
What on earth had happened here?
Ghostly aura permeated the surroundings, the ground was uneven and pockmarked, and nearby lay a humanoid figure beaten into pulp.
While Yun Roumu was trapped inside the blood-red cage before, unable to see anything outside, she had only heard intense battles occurring outside.
But she had never expected that it would be so devastating.
And it was precisely Yun Roumu's exclamation that caught Ye Yu's attention.
He also couldn't have imagined that the person trapped in the cage would be the saintess of the Azure Cloud Sect?
What was this?
Opening a mystery box to find a mortal enemy?
Ye Yu still hadn't forgotten that it was Yun Roumu who had killed him in the dream realm where he first obtained the Excellent+.
At this moment, both sides discovered each other.
Their gazes became incredibly complex.
Ye Yu had already begun to calculate whether or not he should find a way to eliminate Yun Roumu as well.
After all, the matter of possessing the Ten Thousand Souls Technique absolutely could not be known to anyone else.
But unfortunately, there was hardly any spiritual energy left in his body right now.
This is quite awkward.
However, Yun Roumu's next words dispelled Ye Yu's murderous intent.
"What just happened? And where are the other two Blood Demon Sect cultivators?"
Seeing Yun Roumu's puzzled expression, Ye Yu felt that she wasn't pretending.
So he tentatively asked, "Didn't you see just now?"
Yun Roumu shook her head and said, "I was trapped inside the cage, could only hear voices, and couldn't see anything. Did you rescue me?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu immediately felt overjoyed.
Not being able to see is great!
That's really great!
Then, Ye Yu decisively switched to storytelling mode.
He stated that he had accidentally trespassed here, and was targeted by three cultivators who wanted to kill him.
However, at that moment, a mysterious figure with extremely high cultivation arrived.
With the force of thunder, they killed the three cultivators and left.
And that's how the current scene came to be.
Yun Roumu furrowed her brows slightly.
A mysterious person?
Why would they save her?
Moreover, judging from the ghostly aura surrounding them, the person who intervened was likely a demonic cultivator.
This made the situation even more unfathomable.
Since ancient times, righteousness and evil cannot coexist. How could a demonic cultivator possibly intervene to save Azure Cloud Sect?
However, before Yun Roumu could ponder for too long, several streaks of light descended from the sky.
The leader among them was Azure Cloud Sect Master, Luo Ze.
Ye Yu had seen Luo Ze's image when he joined Azure Cloud Sect. That's how he recognized him.
Immediately, Yun Roumu respectfully bowed to Luo Ze and said, "Greetings, Master."
Luo Ze nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Ye Yu.
Seeing that he was also dressed in Azure Cloud Sect disciple robes, Luo Ze didn't inquire further.
He softly said, "Elder Li Nian'an from the Law Enforcement Hall will escort you back. We'll handle things here."
After saying that, a slim Taoist stepped forward.
This person was none other than the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Li Nian'an.
He threw out a purple gourd from his bosom, then activated his spiritual energy.
The gourd suddenly enlarged countless times.
Yun Roumu leapt lightly and jumped onto it.
She didn't forget to reach out to Ye Yu and say, "Junior Brother, be careful."
Looking at this familiar face, Ye Yu felt a sense of trance.
This saintess before him now was completely different from the fiercely murderous one in his dreams.
