Chapter 759: Mo Tianxiao

"Bang!"

Just as the sword arc was about to pierce through the Earth Immortal realm demon, a glowing long sword materialized from thin air. A surge of overwhelming true qi erupted suddenly. As the purple Immortal Sword emerged, its master turned his back to the white-clad cultivator with a light laugh, directing a teal sword arc at the heavily wounded demon. The innate One Sword energy coiled around the hilt, forcing the white-clad cultivator back several paces.

"If you pledge loyalty to me, I won’t end your life heartlessly like him. I’m reasonable—swear allegiance, and I’ll ensure no harm comes to you," Ye Yun said calmly, ignoring the retreating white-clad cultivator as he addressed the wary Earth Immortal realm demon.

"Hmph! Delusions! A mere Seventh Level Nascent Soul brat. You must’ve tricked Mo Tianxiao with some gimmick to unleash that power. No chance you can replicate it!" The demon scoffed, revolted at the idea of bowing to a human.

"Ancestor, crush him," Ye Yun stated coldly. With a thought, the Ancestor’s Soul Power enveloped the demon, pinning it at its limits. "Last chance. Refuse again, and your luck runs out."

The demon’s twisted face glared hatefully. Ye Yun sighed, reducing it to pure soul power. His hands wove seals, intricate patterns fluttering like butterflies as he purged the demon’s taint. Absorbing the cleansed energy, he felt his mental power expand faintly.

Turning to the icy-faced white-clad cultivator, Ye Yun smiled. "Forgive my intrusion, Brother Mo Tianxiao. I couldn’t resist such a prize."

"You know me?" Mo Tianxiao frowned. "Since we’re both demon hunters, I’ll let this pass. But name your sect—I’ve never heard of you."

"A wandering cultivator, unworthy of note. Yet why pursue this demon so far from Lingxiao City?" Ye Yun asked, already knowing the answer from the demon’s memories.

Mo Tianxiao’s eyes hardened. "It slaughtered tens of thousands in hours. How could I rest?" He hesitated, then grinned fiercely. "Let’s spar. Your strength intrigues me."

Ye Yun inwardly groaned. He’d wanted directions, not a fight with a Seventh Level Earth Immortal. Still, he unsheathed his Purple Shadow Divine Sword. "Go easy on me, Brother Mo."

Mo Tianxiao’s sword erupted like a tidal wave. Ye Yun countered with roaring flames. "Fire Flame Triad: Sea of Heavenly Fire!" The inferno devoured Mo Tianxiao’s technique, scorching the landscape.

Undeterred, Mo Tianxiao charged again—only to be smashed into the earth by Ye Yun’s thunderous strike.

"Hah! A thorough defeat!" Mo Tianxiao laughed, climbing from the crater. "Your sword path’s monstrous! Join the Immortal Dao Sect as an Invited Elder. Slay demons during crises, enjoy an elder’s privileges—no tedious loyalties."

Ye Yun feigned modesty. "My Nascent Soul cultivation’s too low."

"Nonsense!" Mo Tianxiao barked. "I’ll stake my name on your worthiness!"

*Perfect,* Ye Yun thought. To the grumbling Ancestor in his mind, he replied, *He’ll forgive minor deceptions once I secure resources for my Thunder Spirit cultivation.*

"Then help me clear Nine Demons Burning," Mo Tianxiao proposed. "Kill a seventh-tier beast king. Dangerous, but with your skills…"

"Slaying evils is our duty," Ye Yun agreed. *Besides, I need his sect’s backing.*

As they departed, the Ancestor’s voice chimed, *"Nine Demons Burning’s a den of ancient evils. Oh, and I’m just ‘Ancestor’ now—my prowess transcends mere swords!"*

Ye Yun rolled his eyes but smiled. The path ahead promised battle, growth, and the keys to greater power.
