Ye Wushuang remained calm, his eyes flashing with the light of the Tianya Sword as his inner momentum gathered once more. In this moment, it seemed as though myriad sword techniques were evolving within his gaze. The Heavenly Derivation Azure Cloud Sword Technique consists of nine forms: Azure Wind Sword, Azure Rain Sword, Azure Thunder Sword, Azure Shattering Sword, Azure Movement Sword, Azure Annihilation Sword, Heavenly Derivation Questioning the Clouds, Heavenly Derivation Questioning the Heavens, and Heavenly Derivation Questioning the Mortals.

All nine sword forms seemed to be unleashed simultaneously at this instant, and the Tianya Sword in Ye Wushuang’s hand suddenly blazed with a brilliant light.

“Strike!”

With a shout, a malevolent aura burst forth.

Boom…

The nine sword techniques, like wind, like thunder, like rain, carried a momentum of destruction and slashed out in unison.

“Heavenly Derivation Infinite!”

Ye Wushuang’s inner momentum reached its peak.

“How could this be…”

Even though Du Ying’s momentum was nearing the fifth tier of the Yuanfu realm, facing this vast sword energy converging into one, the terrifying pressure made him feel as if he could not withstand it.

Boom…

A deep, thunderous explosion shattered the air. Du Ying’s body was enveloped and consumed by the sword energy, meeting a fatal end.

Ye Wushuang stood in place, breathing slightly heavily. Before long, Qing Shihua, Qing Shiyu, and Wang Xian gathered around him. Ten disciples at the late stage of the Condensation Meridian realm were indeed no trouble for the three of them at the Yuanfu realm.

Looking at Du Ying’s lifeless body on the ground, Wang Xian still found it hard to believe.

“Are you alright?” Qing Shiyu couldn’t help but ask.

“Mm-hmm.”

Ye Wushuang gripped the Tianya Sword and said again, “Let’s leave here first and see what the situation outside is like.”

The four of them walked out of the cave. The door to the Di-numbered secret palace was wide open, but the outside was in chaos, with no one paying attention to this spot.

Standing outside the gate, Ye Wushuang sensed disturbances in all directions of the town. Logically, they had wasted quite a bit of time here. With more than ten people at the Yuanfu realm and dozens of disciples at the Condensation Meridian realm, they should have been suppressed long ago.

In front of the gate, three or four figures sped by.

“Young Master Wang Xian!”

A guard from the Tianji Mansion, spotting Wang Xian, stopped and bowed, asking, “Why are you here?”

“The Di-numbered secret palace is of great importance. With Lord Du Ying and Lord Du Chun inside, I’m here to prevent the disciples from causing trouble!” Wang Xian explained with a straight face.

Seeing that there were still signs of battle in the distance, Wang Xian questioned, “Why hasn’t it been resolved yet? It’s just a few dozen disciples at the Condensation Meridian realm and a dozen or so at the early Yuanfu realm, right?”

The guard hurriedly replied, “It was like that at first, but later, someone outside led the charge and actually tried to break in here. Some even slipped in, making the situation even more chaotic.”

“Someone slipped in?” Wang Xian’s heart tightened. Who else could it be besides them?

The disciple continued, “I heard it was the trial disciples from the Qingyun Academy. It’s unknown who in our Tianji Mansion was so careless as to reveal the location of the underground palace.”

“Young Master Wang Xian, you continue to guard here. We need to go and provide support.”

“I heard that Elder Li Cun has already moved personally…”

The group left.

Wang Xian couldn’t help but say, “No wonder it’s taken so long to eliminate those disciples. It seems we’re not the only ones who’ve discovered this place.”

Qing Shihua coldly remarked, “Your Tianji Mansion people act so arrogantly, building this underground palace in the mountains near the Imperial Capital, and then openly capturing people during the trial. It’s hard not to be noticed.”

Wang Xian gave a nervous smile. He didn’t care that Qing Shihua harbored hostility towards him. At this point, if he wanted to survive, he had to cling to Ye Wushuang.

“Let’s go!” Ye Wushuang spoke up at this moment.

Go?

Where to?

The three of them were stunned.

Ye Wushuang directly said, “To the Tian-numbered secret palace!”

At these words, the three were stunned once again.

“Master Ye, Master Ye…” Wang Xian hastily stopped Ye Wushuang, saying, “Even if Elder Li Cun, who is at the Tian Gang realm, has left, there are still several experts at the mid-to-late Yuanfu realm in the Tian-numbered secret palace, and there might even be other Tian Gang realm guardians there!”

Ye Wushuang looked at Wang Xian and couldn’t help but laugh, “You said the same thing before when we came to the Di-numbered secret palace, but what was the result?”

“That’s different…”

“What’s the difference?” Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “The situation inside the underground palace is even more chaotic now than when we first came in. The fact that Elder Li Cun has left indicates that the academy might already know.”

“If it weren’t for someone at the late Yuanfu realm or even the Tian Gang realm level intervening, would Elder Li Cun have to take action himself?”

Hearing this, Wang Xian was stunned. Ye Wushuang had a point!
