Seeing this, Mu Zili and Ji Ou both stood cautiously behind Ye Wushuang, fearing that someone might take this opportunity to strike at Ye Wushuang. After all, Xiao Ge, Huayuli, and the members of the Li Clan might all target Ye Wushuang.

At this moment, the others were also watching as Ye Wushuang attempted to break the seal on the door.

“This guy actually knows the art of sealing…” Huayuli whispered.

Beside her, Xiao Ge said resentfully, “He is also a spiritual array master. I don’t know how his array skills are, but his strength is extraordinary…”

“I witnessed with my own eyes how he killed Dongfang Yu.”

Seeing Xiao Ge’s expression of lingering fear, Huayuli scorned, “You really have been terrified by him.”

“No, it’s not that!” Xiao Ge quickly said, “Ye Wushuang is truly formidable.”

Huayuli waved her hand and said, “I don’t think Dongfang Yu was that strong either; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been defeated by Sheng Feizan and Sheng Fuxia, and he certainly wouldn’t have been killed by Ye Wushuang!”

“Once inside the ancient tower, if I get the chance, I’ll let you see how I kill Ye Wushuang with my own hands.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ge sighed. Ye Wushuang must not be underestimated! This guy… is truly strong! These geniuses all thought he had been frightened out of his wits by Ye Wushuang because they hadn’t seen with their own eyes how Ye Wushuang had killed Dongfang Yu. The most terrifying part was that Ye Wushuang was two levels below Dongfang Yu in cultivation!

At this moment, the grotesque beast heads on the door of the Tianlin Pagoda suddenly opened their mouths. The sound of gears turning echoed. The door opened. Everyone’s eyes turned to it, filled with delight. Ye Wushuang had actually managed to open it! Although he was disliked by many, it had to be admitted that he had real skills.

Immediately, figures began to enter the Tianlin Pagoda. As dozens of people rushed in, the door behind them slammed shut, causing a jolt of surprise among everyone present. At this moment, they all felt, almost simultaneously, that they had been tricked.

Looking around the pagoda, the first floor was lined with stone pillars, each holding an oil lamp that cast flickering light. These lamps gave the first floor of the pagoda an eerie, deep atmosphere.

“Are there any Bloodbone People here?” someone whispered.

“Shut up, don’t talk nonsense!” someone else hissed.

But at that moment, a series of creaking sounds began to echo from the depths of the first floor, as if bones were shifting and loosening. Then, one by one, pairs of dark red eyes began to gleam. Many people’s expressions turned horrified as they stared ahead.

“My goodness!” a horrified voice rang out.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Then, the sound of something cutting through the air filled the space. Bloodbone People charged out from the dark corners. In that moment, the dozens of martial artists were like lambs caught in a trap, being hunted down by the Bloodbone People…

“Stay close to me,” Ye Wushuang shouted, brandishing the Tiange Sword. Immediately, several Bloodbone People at the level of the Myriad Methods Realm charged at him. With a powerful strike of his sword, a loud boom resounded, and the bodies of the Bloodbone People in front of him exploded.

These Bloodbone People were not targeting him but were aiming for Mu Zili and Ji Ou on either side. With the Tiange Ling in his possession, these Bloodbone People had no hostility towards him.

The battle began swiftly. The group of over eighty people was quickly scattered by the hundreds of Bloodbone People. Everyone formed their own groups and fought on their own.

Ye Wushuang, Mu Zili, and Ji Ou stood back to back, fighting against the Bloodbone People. In fact, because Ye Wushuang had the Tiange Ling, the Bloodbone People were not very aggressive towards the three of them. Soon, they had cleared the Bloodbone People around them, and few others came to attack them.

“Let’s go! To the second floor!” Ye Wushuang shouted and took the lead.

At this moment, on the Tianyuan Dynasty side, Tianyuan Bing watched as Ye Wushuang and his companions quickly moved away, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

“I knew it, this guy must have something on him…”

At this moment, the Bloodbone People were surrounding and attacking everyone, creating immense pressure. Only a few people noticed that Ye Wushuang and his companions had already headed towards the second floor…

The first floor was quite spacious. It took Ye Wushuang and his companions a while to find the staircase. They climbed up and found a door at the end of the staircase. However, in front of the door, several Bloodbone People appeared. These Bloodbone People did not charge at the others but guarded the entrance to the second floor.

When Mu Zili and Ji Ou saw these Bloodbone People, their expressions became strange…

“Dan Yongye!”

“Dan Yongcheng!”

“Shang Yunshang!”

“Duan Xingqing!”

“Wan Yan Chuxue!”

“Dongfang Yu…”

The six Bloodbone People in front of them, though their clothes were tattered and their bodies were covered in wounds, and some even seemed to be pieced back together, were still recognized by Mu Zili and Ji Ou.

Mu Zili was stunned and said, “These people… didn’t you kill them?”

The dead had become Bloodbone People, blocking their way! Everything was indeed as Ye Wushuang had said: these Bloodbone People were all blood puppets created by someone. But Ye Wushuang had mentioned that blood puppets were made from living people. Could the dead also be turned into blood puppets?

Ye Wushuang said, “If they have just died, they can also be turned into blood puppets. Moreover… combined with the resentment of the newly dead, they can even retain some of their thoughts from when they were alive, and…”

“And what?” Ji Ou felt a chill run down his spine.

“And their strength might be several times stronger than when they were alive!”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing this, both Mu Zili and Ji Ou’s faces changed dramatically.

But at that moment, the sound of something cutting through the air rang out again.

“Ye Wushuang, trying to slip away first?” A teasing voice echoed.

Shang Tianqing from the Giant Sword Sect appeared at the end of the staircase, looking at Ye Wushuang and his companions.

Shang Tianqing’s eyes fell on the entrance to the second floor, where six figures stood proudly.

“Holy crap!”

At first glance, Shang Tianqing was stunned.
