#1004 - They are all dead

When Jun Wuxie arrived at the hiding place of the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast mother and son, they were cultivating.

Both mother and son had undergone considerable changes. Their realms hadn't improved much, but the degree of their bloodline evolution had taken a huge leap.

He released the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King.

The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast mother and son sensed someone's arrival. Opening their eyes, they saw their benefactor and their father and maternal grandfather. Their eyes quickly moistened.

They instantly rushed to the Beast King, nuzzling against it affectionately.

Jun Wuxie smiled and quietly retreated a little, leaving them space for a long-awaited reunion.

At this moment, perhaps Blue Blue was emotionally affected by the heartwarming scene of the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast family, and it also affectionately rubbed its head against him.

"Little fellow, you are the happiest. You've always been by my side, even happier than your mistresses. They are extremely envious of you."

Jun Wuxie rubbed its furry head, and Blue Blue wagged its tail happily, making 'yiya, yiya' sounds.

Half an hour later, the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast family came before him.

The mother and son expressed their gratitude to him.

The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King said, "Master, sign a soul contract with them."

"Are you sure?" Jun Wuxie looked at the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast mother and son and said, "You must understand that once you sign a soul contract, I will be your eternal master, and you must absolutely obey my orders at all times. If you want to live freely, don't worry about anything else. Just speak your true intentions."

"We will forever follow our master! Please, Master, sign a soul contract!"

The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast mother and son were very resolute, their eyes filled with worship and obedience. It was unknown what the Beast King had told them.

Jun Wuxie said nothing more. He immediately condensed a soul imprint, entered their sea of consciousness, forged a soul contract, and established a close soul connection with them.

"Blood Yuan, along with her son Blood Hao, greets Master!"

They prostrated on the ground, their chins touching the ground, looking at him with incomparable obedience.

"Rise. It seems that divine beast blood has greatly helped your evolution."

He used his pupil technique to see through the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast mother and son's bloodline evolution levels. Their talent growth had reached the legendary triple realm and the peak of the ancient king realm, respectively.

Blood Hao was currently just a young beast. As a Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast, having such growth strength at this stage was considered exceptionally fast evolution.

"It's all Master's grace!"

The Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast King was very moved. Its bloodline was also evolving. Once its essence, qi, and spirit were fully restored to its peak, it could then attempt to break into the mythical realm.

It believed that it would become one of the few Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast Kings in history to evolve into the mythical realm.

"Blood Yuan's realm is too low. She has already given birth, so she shouldn't only be at the initial stage of the Saint level."

Jun Wuxie had always had doubts in his heart. He could see that Blood Yuan seemed to have experienced some special encounter that caused her realm to be too low.

"Years ago, Blood Yuan was ambushed. If her husband hadn't saved her life, she would probably be gone. At that time, she was pregnant. She saved her life and her child, but suffered severe injuries as a result, causing her realm to plummet, and it will take a long time to slowly recover. But now, with the divine beast blood bestowed by the master, she will soon recover and return to her peak."

"Why do those ancient beasts and fierce birds in the Hengduan Mountains target you?"

"Because they want to obtain our bloodline origin. By fusing our bloodline origin, they can transform into evolved bloodlines and increase their future growth limit, so our clan has always been living on thin ice."

"I see." Jun Wuxie didn't expect it to be for this reason. It seemed that the Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beast clan was having a difficult time in the Hengduan Mountains, with too many ancient beasts and fierce birds coveting them. "Are there any other Blood鬃 Lion-Dog Beasts from your clan still alive?"

"There should still be surviving clansmen. When I broke out of the encirclement, there were still many clansmen alive, so I had them escape separately. They should now be hiding in some secret areas. If Master needs it, Blood Wasteland can return to the Hengduan Mountains to gather the old troops!"

"There's no need for now. Your body has not yet recovered to its peak state, and rushing to the Hengduan Mountains would be dangerous. It's not too late to go when you recover to your peak and step into the mythical realm."

Jun Wuxie did not agree. Now was not a good time. He didn't want it to take risks, as that would be unwise.

The Hengduan Mountains were not the Flowing Cloud Forest. There were countless powerful and ferocious birds and ancient beasts inside, perhaps even Overlord Saint realm ones. It was not a safe place.

He put the Blood Wasteland family into his inner space and left riding Blue Blue.

Now that this matter was settled, it was finally time to return to the sect. He imagined that his master, the sect master, and the foundation experts were all eagerly awaiting his return.

He had stayed here for too long, and Ning Wang had caused such a big commotion, so it was impossible for the sect not to worry.

Near the western exit of the Flowing Cloud Forest, Jun Wuxie repeatedly sensed with his divine sense and did not find any experts from Ning Wang's mansion.

However, he was not careless. He recalled Blue Blue and used the Minor Void Technique to conceal himself before quietly leaving the forest.

Not long after, he came to a certain area outside the forest, changed his appearance, and released Yuan Ye, the sect elder who was suppressed under the earth.

Yuan Ye showed a look of doubt when he saw the unfamiliar face. Just as he was about to ask, he was sealed by him, picked up, and carried away.

Two days later, in front of the entrance to the Azure Cloud Cave Heaven, Jun Wuxie released Yuan Ye. Yuan Ye's eyes flashed with excitement, and he rushed towards Azure Cloud madly. It was as if he hated that his parents hadn't given him two more legs.

Jun Wuxie hid in the void, following Yuan Ye unhurriedly as he entered the mountain gate and headed towards Azure Cloud Peak.

"Someone is lurking outside the sect in the Cave Heaven world. They are monitoring the sect. Could it be that Ning Wang already suspects that I am related to Azure Cloud?"

He remained calm, following the rushing Yuan Ye into the mountain gate and all the way towards Azure Cloud Peak.

When Yuan Ye returned to the sect, he wanted to shout at the top of his lungs, but he couldn't make a sound. A force within him prevented him from speaking.

It wasn't until he ran to the square in front of the Azure Cloud Sacred Hall, almost to the entrance of the Sacred Hall, that the force within him suddenly disappeared for some reason.

With a 'wah' sound.

Yuan Ye rushed into the Sacred Hall, bursting into tears.

There were many people here: the sect master, foundation experts, and the peak leaders of several lineages, all gathered here. They were discussing sect matters when they didn't expect someone to suddenly rush in.

"Yuan Ye?" Qingxuan Zhenren's face darkened. "What kind of decorum is this, crying and weeping? What exactly happened?"

"Sect Master, you must stand up for me!"

Yuan Ye knelt on the ground with a runny nose and tears, recounting his tragic experience.

The sect master and several peak leaders showed strange expressions on their faces after hearing this and said, "Who exactly is the person you are talking about?"

"It's me."

A voice rang out at the entrance of the hall. A heroic young man in a moon-white sword robe appeared out of thin air, looking travel-worn.

In the entire hall, everyone stood up with a 'tseng' sound.

Before they could speak, Yuan Ye heard the voice, turned around abruptly, and his eyes immediately widened with rage. He began to laugh maniacally, "Hahaha! You damned ant, you dare to break into my Azure Cloud Cave Heaven Sacred Hall. You are courting death!"

"Sect Master, it is this person! He killed my clansmen and even wanted to kill me! At that time, he also uttered arrogant words, saying that even if you personally came, you wouldn't be able to save my life! This shows how arrogant this person is, completely disregarding you and our Azure Cloud!"

Yuan Ye said loudly.

Although his heart was full of hatred, he was not stupid. His enemy dared to break into this place, so it seemed that he had some background, otherwise, how would he dare to do so?

But no matter how much of a background he had, daring to disregard the sect master and the entire Azure Cloud, and even doing so in front of everyone, how could the sect master stand for it? He would definitely suppress this person!

As soon as his voice fell, he felt that the atmosphere of the entire hall had solidified. Whether it was the sect master or the foundation experts, or the peak leaders of the various lineages, their faces all became extremely gloomy and ugly.

He sneered inwardly. It seemed that all the high-level officials were furious. This kid was doomed today!

"Boy, why don't you come over and kneel down to the sect master and repent! Who do you think you are, daring to be so arrogant, daring to be disrespectful to my Azure Cloud and the sect master? Today, even the Heavenly King himself wouldn't be able to save you!"

He began to clamor, his smile like a somewhat distorted flower in bloom.

"Bastard, why aren't you kneeling down!"

Qingxuan Zhenren's stern shout was like a thunderclap.

Yuan Ye heard this and immediately puffed out his chest. With someone backing him, he was naturally full of confidence. He raised his hand and pointed at Jun Wuxie, scolding, "Bastard, didn't you hear? My Azure Cloud Sect Master is telling you to kneel down!"

At this time, all the high-level officials present had livid faces, and the muscles on their faces twitched fiercely.

Let Yue Wuxie kneel down?

Now, who in the entire sect would dare to make him kneel? They couldn't even treat him like an ancestor and worship him enough.

This word 'kneel' was clearly said to that Yuan Ye, but that guy didn't understand the situation at all and was still feeling good about himself, acting like a fox exploiting the tiger's might.

"You idiot!"

Qingxuan Zhenren's eyes were full of cold light, and the fingers hanging at his waist clenched slightly.

Rumble!

A waterfall of true qi appeared out of thin air above Yuan Ye and fell down.

Yuan Ye's body trembled violently, and he knelt on the ground with a 'boom'.

His face was full of astonishment. He hadn't understood the situation until now. He struggled to raise his head and looked at Qingxuan Zhenren, saying in horror, "Sect Master, why are you doing this?"

Qingxuan Zhenren ignored him, and the gloom on his face instantly turned into excitement.

Almost at the same time, all the high-level officials in the hall were filled with excitement and rushed up in droves, surrounding Jun Wuxie.

"Wuxie, are you alright?"

"Are you injured?"

"Come, let this old man take a look!"

"You're not injured. You're finally back. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

......

They were excited, their voices trembling, all surrounding him and spinning around him.

Yuan Ye was completely stunned, a look of disbelief on his face, frozen in place.

After a long while, he finally reacted, his face ashen!

That kid, his enemy, was actually a member of the sect, and one so highly valued by the sect's leaders!

When did that kid join the sect? He had no idea!

At this moment, Jun Wuxie walked up to Yuan Ye, looked down at him, and said, "I discovered you in the ruins of the Yuan family that day. I gave you chances to live multiple times, but you insisted on seeking death. Now, can you die in peace?"

"Hahaha! Hahahaha!"

Yuan Ye suddenly began to laugh maniacally, his bloodshot eyes filled with rage: "I hate it, I am not reconciled! It was actually someone from the sect who destroyed my family! I am not reconciled!"

"Your Yuan family brought it upon themselves. It was other forces in Flowing Cloud City, not me, who destroyed your family."

"Bah! If it weren't for you, how would they have dared to attack my Yuan family! You will die a horrible death! You will die a horrible death!"

"You're the one who will die a horrible death, you bastard!"

Real Person Qingxuan stepped forward and shattered Yuan Ye's soul with a palm strike.

Yuan Ye's eyes widened, blood flowing from his seven orifices, his lips trembling, wanting to say something but unable to make a sound, his body slowly collapsing.

"You're finally back! These days, this old one has been unable to sleep peacefully, thank heavens!"

Real Person Qingxuan patted him on the shoulder, a relaxed smile on his face, the weight in his heart finally lifted.

"Wuxie, the elders said you were riding the Bloodmane Lion-Hound Beast King and were chased by the nine experts from the Ning Royal Mansion. How did you escape the pursuit? This master has been worried sick these days..."

"Master, this disciple said when I left, there was no need to worry. As for how I escaped the pursuit, it's because the experts from the Ning Royal Mansion are all dead, so this disciple has returned."

"What?!"

These words were like a heavy bomb dropped into the hearts of everyone present, creating a monstrous wave within them.

They simply couldn't believe their ears!

The experts from the Ning Royal Mansion are all dead?

They gaped, staring blankly at him, their minds short-circuiting.

"All... all dead?" Real Person Qingmu's voice trembled as he said in an uncertain tone, "Are you saying that the nine Great Saint experts who chased you that day are all dead?"

"That's right, they are all dead."

The Qingyun Sect's high-ranking members' lips trembled violently, and they swallowed hard, unable to make a sound.

Those were Great Saint realm experts from the Ning Royal Mansion, a full nine of them, and they were all wiped out?

"Later, more than a dozen experts from the Ning Royal Mansion went to the Flowing Cloud Forest. You didn't encounter them, did you?"

"Those people are also dead."

Jun Wuxie replied casually.

Instantly, the high-ranking members all fell to the ground, stunned into a daze.

More than twenty Great Saints, all dead!

Wouldn't that Ning King be furious?

A shocking number of Great Saints went to the Flowing Cloud Forest, only to be buried there, while Yue Wuxie, who was only in the Saint realm, returned completely unscathed.

They wouldn't dare to dream of such a thing, it was too incredible, like listening to a myth.

"Was... was it the Bloodmane Lion-Hound Beast King who killed them?" Real Person Qingmu's eyes were dull. "But this old one clearly saw that the Bloodmane Lion-Hound Beast King's condition was extremely poor, and it couldn't fight anymore, right?"

"The Bloodmane Lion-Hound Beast King's injuries were very serious, but I saved it, restoring its injuries, so it killed all the experts from the Ning Royal Mansion."

After hearing this, Real Person Qingmu and the other high-ranking members took a long time to recover.

They looked at Jun Wuxie with even more fervor than before.

What kind of high incense did Qingyun burn to receive Heaven's favor and send them such a disciple!

He entered the Flowing Cloud Forest alone, maneuvering between ferocious birds, ancient beasts, and dozens of experts from the Ning Royal Mansion, and successfully used the strategy of driving away the tiger to devour the wolf, annihilating all the powerful enemies!

Who else could do such a thing besides the young man in front of them?

This really sounded like a mythical story, making people feel very unreal!

But they knew that these things must be true, otherwise, how could Yue Wuxie have returned safely to the sect under the pursuit and encirclement of those Great Saint experts?
