Hua Lingxi slowly withdrew her gaze, looking down at Ye Ting lying in the ruins. There was no pity in her pale golden eyes, only an Ultimate cold killing intent. She gently lifted her foot and stepped down into the air. With each step, a cold purple-gold flower bloomed under her feet, and the entire world seemed to fall into a murderous atmosphere with her steps.
She stopped less than ten feet in front of Ye Ting, her red lips parted slightly, her voice icy cold. "Heh." "I wondered who had the audacity to infiltrate my Hua Lineage and steal the secret scrolls." She slowly lowered her eyes, looking at Ye Ting's blood-stained face, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "So..." "It's someone from the Holy Clan."
Hua Lingxi slowly raised her right hand, her fingertips gently tracing the air, and wisps of purple-gold patterns slowly emerged. "Very good." "After I have completely Annihilation you, I will personally go to the Holy Clan." "The entire Holy Clan will pay for everything you have done today." "I will let you all know..." "The consequences of daring to provoke the Hua Lineage."
Her voice, though calm, carried a chilling, murderous intent. Ye Ting struggled to sit up, his chest heaving, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth again. "Pfft—"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, then slowly raised his head, looked at Hua Lingxi, and suddenly grinned. In that smile, there was not a trace of fear, only deep disdain. "You shrew..." "Your Hua Lineage has committed countless evil deeds." "You've harmed countless innocent cultivators over the years." "Even if I die here today," "I will make sure the entire Eternal Nonexistence Limitless Domain knows about your Hua Lineage's dirty, shameful methods!"
As soon as the words fell, the faces of the three Hua Lineage darkened. The young man in the lead stepped forward, looking down at Ye Ting with a mocking expression. "Hahahaha!" "Still delusional that you can leave alive?" "Look at yourself now." "Your Fate Soul is almost shattered." "Your Primordial Spirit Treasure is destroyed." "What right do you have to spout nonsense here?"
The other two sneered, looking at Ye Ting as if he were a dead man. Ye Ting ignored them, slowly raising his head to gaze at the sky, his eyes still resolute. Hua Lingxi watched him silently, and after a moment, finally spoke again. "Speak." "The secret scroll." "Where did you hide it?" "Just hand over the secret scroll." "I might spare your life."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ting suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter. "Hahahaha--" The laughter echoed throughout the dark forest. After a long while, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. "Spare my life?" "Pah!" "Hua Lingxi!" "Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?" "Let me tell you the truth." "That secret scroll..." "You will never find it!" "Even if I die here today," "your Hua Lineage's dirty deeds will be exposed by the world sooner or later!" "On that day," "your Hua Lineage..." "will be doomed!"
"Insolence!" Hua Lingxi's eyes suddenly blazed with killing intent. She had no more patience. Her figure vanished from the spot in an instant, and the next moment, she appeared in front of Ye Ting. She gently raised her jade palm, without any fancy phenomena, and simply struck forward. Boom!! The moment this palm landed...
The entire space suddenly collapsed. Before Ye Ting could even react, he was struck hard in the chest by the palm. "Pfft—" A mouthful of blood gushed out. He was sent flying backward again, smashing through dozens of ancient, dark trees before finally crashing heavily into the distant mountainside with a thunderous roar.
The entire mountainside collapsed with a deafening roar, sending dust billowing into the sky Hua Lingxi slowly withdrew her jade-like hand, her expression still icy. She had deliberately restrained most of her power. This strike wasn't intended to kill Ye Ting, but to spare his life. She wanted to slowly pry open his mouth, forcing him to reveal the whereabouts of the secret scroll. However...
The instant the palm struck deep into Ye Ting's Fate Soul, at the very core of his Fate Soul, a gray-white soul chain that had never been noticed by anyone before suddenly trembled slightly. It did not belong to Ye Ting himself, but was a more ancient and powerful Fate Soul connection. That was... the Ring Master Soul Chain Qin Yu had left inside the soul puppet.
With a soft hum, a faint gray-white ripple slowly spread across the surface of the long-dormant soul chain, accompanied by the impact of this palm strike. At the same time, far beyond endless space and time, Qin Yu, who was sitting in meditation to solidify his foundation in the Eternal Silence Realm, felt a slight, unexpected tremor in the depths of his sea of consciousness from the quietly suspended Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram. A faint, almost imperceptible sensation from the soul chain... crossed countless spaces... and quietly reached him.
On the other side, in the Fourth Multidimensional Universe, in a hidden valley cave, the cave is surrounded by naturally formed chaotic crystal walls, and wisps of Great Dao mist flow slowly, the entire space is silent.
Qin Yu remained seated cross-legged on the boulder, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram floating deep within his sea of consciousness, the Wordless Heavenly Book silently rising and falling, and the Fate Soul essence of his Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage continuously stabilizing. The entire cave was permeated with the profound meaning of the Great Dao, which was eternally Silent Void.
At that very moment, a sudden, violent vibration emanated from the Ring Master Soul Chain of Ye Ting consciousness. A surge of Fate Soul, filled with the aura of severe injury and impending death, instantly traveled back along the chain. Qin Yu's eyes snapped open, and two streaks of gray-white divine light pierced through the entire cave from his dark pupils.
"Ye Ting?" His expression changed slightly. The Ring Master Soul Diagram continuously reflected Ye Ting's current state: his Fate Soul was severely injured, and his essence was exhausted. He was on the verge of completely collapsing at any moment. Qin Yu slowly stood up, a hint of coldness appearing between his brows for the first time. "It seems... he has encountered a truly formidable enemy."
He slowly clenched his right hand. "Ye Ting can't die yet." "He's my only soul puppet right now." "He's still very useful to me." As he finished speaking, Qin Yu raised his right hand, his index finger slowly pointing forward—sizzle
The entire space was instantly torn apart by an invisible force, and a spatial rift spanning billions of miles appeared with a roar. Without any hesitation, Qin Yu stepped into it, and his figure vanished instantly.
Meanwhile, within the dark forest, Ye Ting, covered in blood and with his Fate Soul almost completely shattered, struggled to his feet, supporting himself on the ground. Blood dripped continuously from the corners of his mouth, but his eyes remained unyielding. He stared intently at Hua Lingxi in the distance, then suddenly grinned.
"Come on!" "You beasts of the Hua Lineage!" "I'm not afraid of you!" "Come and fight!!" He suddenly raised his right hand, pointing at Hua Lingxi. "You damned woman!" "If you have the guts, Annihilation me now!" His voice echoed throughout the entire forest. Hua Lingxi stared at him quietly, and after a moment, she suddenly revealed a cold smile.
"Foolish." "Trying to deliberately provoke me?" "Since you're unwilling to speak," "that's fine too." "I..." "Naturally, I have ways to make you talk." With that, she slowly turned around.
She glanced at the three Hua Lineage disciples behind her. "Take him with you." "Come with me to the Holy Clan." Her voice was calm, yet chillingly cold. "In front of him..." "annihilate the entire Holy Clan." Upon hearing this, the three revealed sinister smiles. "Hahaha." "Good." "That's a good plan!" "Let him watch the entire Holy Clan be destroyed because of him." "That will be true despair."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ting's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. "Hua Lingxi!!" "You bitch!!" "Kill me if you dare!!" "Don't touch the Holy Clan!!" However, Hua Lingxi didn't even turn around, but coldly said, "I have already given you a chance." "Since you are unwilling to hand over the secret scroll," "then let the entire Holy Clan..." "be buried with you." As soon as she finished speaking...
Three cultivators from the Hua Lineage had arrived beside Ye Ting. Two of them simultaneously raised their hands, and with a boom, two gray-white chains pierced through Ye Ting's Fate Soul. The chains, one on the left and one on the right, completely sealed off the source of his Fate Soul. Ye Ting's body trembled violently, and the wisp of power he had just gathered was once again completely suppressed. The other two then lifted him up from the left and right.
The young man at the head slowly turned his head and looked at Hua Lingxi. "Elder." "Should we notify the Lineage?" "Send some more disciples over?" Hua Lingxi shook her head lightly. "No need." "Although the Holy Clan Chief and the other clan chiefs are also at the Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme..." "But..." She slowly raised her right hand, and in her palm, a wisp of extremely ancient primordial energy slowly flowed.
An absolute confidence smirked. "I possess Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure." "Enough..." "Right in front of him." "To annihilate the entire Holy Clan." The three disciples' expressions changed drastically. "Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure!" "Elder actually possesses Primordial Dao Supreme Treasure!" "No wonder Elder is so confident!" "With this treasure, the mere Holy Clan can be wiped out with a flick of the wrist!"
The three men were filled with shock and awe. Just as they were about to take Ye Ting away, a calm yet cold voice suddenly rang out from the heavens and earth. "So..." "It's the Hua Lineage's scum." "I thought it was someone else." The voice wasn't loud, but it resonated deep within everyone's Fate Soul.
Everyone stopped in their tracks. Hua Lingxi's eyes narrowed sharply, and she looked up sharply into the void. "Who?" "Come out!!" Sizzle—the void slowly cracked open. A grayish-white spatial rift slowly unfolded above everyone's heads, and the next moment, a young figure slowly stepped out from the rift.
Dressed in a black robe, with a calm expression and no astonishing aura emanating from him, yet simply standing there gave one the feeling that the entire world slowly fell silent behind him—this was Qin Yu.
When Ye Ting saw the familiar figure clearly, his eyes, which had been almost filled with despair, instantly glowed red, and his voice trembled slightly. "Master... Master!!!" This cry of "Master" caused the entire world to fall silent, Hua Lingxi's originally cold expression changed for the first time.
Her pupils contracted almost imperceptibly. "Master?" She slowly looked at Qin Yu, then at Ye Ting, her heart churning with shock. An Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme elder of the Holy Clan, a supreme expert of the Eternal Silence Realm, actually... addressed an Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage cultivator as "master"? At this moment...
Two words instantly flashed through her mind: Soul Puppet. Only a Soul Puppet would address its master in such a way, and... a Soul Puppet at the Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme... She slowly narrowed her eyes, her vigilance reaching its Ultimate. This young man before her was definitely not as simple as he appeared to be at the Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage.
Hua Lingxi stared intently at Qin Yu, her gaze deep and intense. Qin Yu stood still, meeting her gaze calmly. Their eyes met, and the entire dark world suddenly fell silent; the air in the forest froze completely, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
