　　”But what？”
　　Huang Yu couldn’t help but ask.
　　Turning around, Huang Yu saw Zhou Yuan summoning the Heavenly Abyss Sacred Cauldron to shield himself, and couldn’t help but curse： “Old bastard, the three of us have been through life and death together, how come you turtle up at the first sign of danger? Can’t you lend a hand?”
　　Zhou Yuan chuckled： “This old man doesn’t need training. Such a great opportunity for growth should be left to you youngsters.”
　　Huang Yu tsked and continued fighting fiercely.
　　”Brother Ye, are you alright？”
　　Seeing Ye Wushuang fall silent, Huang Yu glanced over and immediately turned pale.
　　A blood corpse puppet, its hair disheveled, body rotting with maggots, clawed hands reaching directly for Ye Wushuang’s face.
　　”Brother Ye！”
　　Huang Yu’s face turned ashen as he swung his sword, slashing at the puppet’s arm.
　　A clang rang out as the blood puppet paused, its claws digging into the ground.
　　BOOM！！！
　　The ground shattered, the shockwave blasting Ye Wushuang and Huang Yu apart.
　　”Brother Ye, what the hell are you spacing out for？” Huang Yu shouted. “This puppet’s at least late-stage Star Plucking Realm! If you die, what am I supposed to do？”
　　Ye Wushuang’s sword hand trembled slightly as he stared at the blood corpse puppet.
　　Huang Yu seemed to have realized something, his face filled with astonishment as he said, “You know her？”
　　Ye　Wushuang　nodded.
　　”No way？” Huang Yu muttered blankly, “Is she that… Lin Yunjin？”
　　Ye Wushuang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes turning blood-red.
　　”The　Yun　family！”
　　A low, hoarse growl erupted as Ye Wushuang roared, “I’ll kill you all, every last one of you！！！”
　　Boom!　Boom!　Boom…
　　One deafening explosion after another rang out.
　　One after another, the Blood Corpse Puppets’ bodies shattered, turning into crimson dust.
　　As time passed bit by bit, gradually, the Blood Corpse Puppets’ bodies dissolved into bloody mist, completely exploding and vanishing without a trace.
　　The nauseating stench of rotting corpses and blood lingered in the air, refusing to dissipate.
　　Ye Wushuang stood in place, gripping the Holy Heaven Sword, silent for a long time.
　　Suddenly, in an instant.
　　Ye Wushuang raised his hand, scooping up a handful of blood-soaked soil, his eyes gradually turning blood-red…
　　”Let’s go！”
　　Raising his head again, his gaze fixed ahead, Ye Wushuang’s eyes were filled with coldness and… killing intent.
　　……
　　Amidst the dense, shadowy mountains.
　　A passage sloping downward into the earth, entirely paved with bones—some human, some beast—could faintly be seen.
　　At this moment, a procession of over a hundred people moved along the wide path, heading deeper inside.
　　Leading them was a man of extraordinary bearing, his sharp brows and starry eyes exuding a cold, arrogant aura.
　　This person was none other than Xing Hanwen, the Fourth Elder of the Spirit Sword Pavilion.
　　Originally, Xing Hanwen was the Seventh Elder of the Spirit Sword Pavilion. However, after the Battle of Qingzhou, where many of the Pavilion’s elders fell one after another, he advanced from the Perfection Stage of the Star-Plucking Realm to the Great Perfection Stage. Now, as one of the four major elders of the Spirit Sword Pavilion, more and more disciples refer to him as the Fourth Elder.
　　Xu Ziyin.
　　Xu Ziyun.
　　Bu Baiyi.
　　Xing Hanwen.
　　These four elders are now regarded as the four pillars of the Spirit Sword Pavilion.
　　Xu Ziyin reached the Saintly Heaven Realm, greatly enhancing his reputation.
　　Xu Ziyun himself was also at the Great Perfection Stage of the Star-Plucking Realm, with formidable strength.
　　As for Elder Bu Baiyi, he had not appeared in the Spirit Sword Pavilion for many years, leaving many disciples with little knowledge of this elder.
　　Thus, Xing Hanwen’s promotion brought him a significant rise in status.
　　The middle-aged man standing beside Xing Hanwen also had an extraordinary demeanor, stirring one’s spirit.
　　The Wuji Alliance, the Nangong family, its patriarch Nangong Shang.
　　Nangong Shang himself was at the peak of the Stellar Transformation Realm, and now within this illusory land, he broke through to the Great Perfection of the Stellar Transformation Realm.
　　Among the four great families of the Wuji Alliance, Shangguan Zhu, the patriarch of the Shangguan family, and Baili Taian, the patriarch of the Baili family, were both at the Great Perfection of the Stellar Transformation Realm. Thus, over the years, the Shangguan and Baili families held the most sway within the Wuji Alliance.
　　Next was Dongfang Bugui, the patriarch of the Dongfang family, at the Perfection of the Stellar Transformation Realm.
　　Therefore, with Nangong Shang, a peak Stellar Transformation Realm expert as its patriarch, the Nangong family’s status within the Wuji Alliance had subtly declined over the years.
　　Thus, Nangong Shang’s recent breakthrough to the Perfection of the Stellar Transformation Realm could be described as being in high spirits.
　　Nangong Shang looked at Elder Xing Hanwen beside him and said politely, “Lord Xing, still no news from Commander Gobei？”
　　”Hmm…”
　　”That guy has now reached the peak of the Stellar Transformation Realm and thinks he can secure a seat among the elders, showing you less respect…” Nangong Shang chuckled with implied meaning.
　　Hearing this, Xing Hanwen smiled and said, “The Sword Sky Guards are the arrows in the alliance leader’s quiver, striking wherever pointed. Even if Gobei were still at the late stage of the Stellar Transformation Realm, he wouldn”t need to heed my orders.”
　　”Hehe…” Nan Gong Shang smiled and said no more.
　　At this moment, in the middle of the group, two women in their forties walked side by side.
　　The woman on the left appeared slightly coquettish, with a hint of delicate charm in her eyes.
　　The woman on the right seemed much gentler, her peripheral gaze occasionally scanning both sides of the Bone-Blood Avenue.
　　”This place is quite eerie…” The left woman said with a playful smile. “Is Xing Hanwen’s information accurate？”
　　The right woman replied calmly, “It should be true. There are indeed traces of someone passing through this avenue, likely left by people from the Profound Heaven Mansion…”
　　As　they　spoke.
　　The left woman suddenly froze.
　　”Qu Yan, what’s wrong？” asked the right woman.
　　”All the blood-corpse puppets I left behind are dead.”
　　”Dead？”
　　The right woman frowned and said slowly, “Among those blood-corpse puppets, one was refined from Lin Yunji’s corpse, wasn’t it？ Lin Yunji had broken through to the peak of the Star-Plucking Realm. Even if turned into a corpse puppet, she should at least have late-stage Star-Plucking Realm strength. Someone actually managed to kill her？”
　　Yun Quyan’s expression darkened as she said, “It seems someone else has found this place after us…”
　　Hearing Yun Quyan say this, Yun Quyin couldn’t help but frown and say, “It couldn’t be Ge Bei, could it？ You better not have harmed our ally.”
　　”Who knows？” Yun Quyan didn’t seem concerned and chuckled, “I heard Ge Bei has reached the peak of the Star Plucking Realm. That guy is Xu Mingxiu’s right-hand man. When we return this time, he’ll most likely become the fifth Elder of the Spirit Sword Pavilion.”
　　Upon hearing this, Yun Quyin looked up toward the front of the group.
　　”Right now in the Spirit Sword Pavilion, Xu Ziyin has entered the Saint Heaven Realm, while Xu Ziyun, Xu Mingxiu, and Xing Hanwen have reached the Great Perfection of the Star Plucking Realm. As for Bu Baiyi… he’s been missing for years, but I bet he’s become formidable too.”
　　Yun Quyin said coldly, “In the Sacred Heaven Sect, Yin Shenghao has entered the Saint Heaven Realm, and now Su Chenyang is half-step into Sainthood. Along with Si Luoyi, these three—relying on their past preparations and reputations—have recruited a group of Star Plucking Realm experts…”
　　”Once we return, the skies over the Central Continent will change.”
　　Yun Quyan said cheerfully, “What does that have to do with our Yun Family？ We”ve always stood on the side of the Spirit Sword Pavilion. No matter how you look at it, our side is stronger on paper…”
　　Hearing this, Yun Quyin could only shake her head with a bitter smile.
　　”What？ Am I wrong？” Yun Quyan asked with slight surprise.
