One sword!
It took only one sword!
Luo Li directly killed five cultivators from the Origin Sea Realm.
"I... I'm really so powerful!"
With the Supreme Golden Dragon Sword in hand, Luo Li's delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful face flushed.
Ever since she joined the Dragon God Sect, she had been wandering with her master. Her cultivation base was pathetically low, and she had never killed in such an exultant manner before.
But now, having met the Old Ancestor, she had transformed into a great cultivator at the Tenth Layer of the Origin Sea Realm.
With just one sword, she had slain five experts from the Origin Sea Realm. This experience felt surreal to Luo Li, almost dreamlike.
"Spare us!"
The two remaining youths from the Mysterious Pill Realm, seeing that all five of their Origin Sea Realm senior brothers had been killed, were terrified and knelt to beg for mercy.
Perhaps caught up in the killing intent, Luo Li gripped her sword and strode forward.
"Luo Li, don't kill them yet!" Ye Yun said softly from behind.
Luo Li paused, her face flushing as she suddenly realized her rashness.
I was so caught up in the killing that I lost control, she thought, her face burning. Thank goodness the Old Ancestor reminded me. Otherwise, I would have killed these two Mysterious Pill Realm fellows as well.
Luo Li had long been a mere weakling at the Gathering Qi Realm. Suddenly becoming a great cultivator in the Origin Sea Realm, she hadn't fully bridged the mental gap from this transformation.
Still, Luo Li had ventured through the martial world with her master for many years. Being relatively mature, she quickly regained her composure.
"Speak!" Luo Li pointed her sword at the two Mysterious Pill Realm youths and said coldly, "Where did you take my junior brother?"
"I don't know! It was all our senior brothers' doing!" one of the young men replied wretchedly.
"It seems you won't cry until you see your own coffin!"
Luo Li was furious. With a flash of her sword, she lopped off the young man's ear.
These pursuers had been after them for some time. Several times, Luo Li had nearly fallen into their clutches. If not for her quick wits and the movement technique of the Nine Changes of the God Dragon, she would likely have been captured long ago.
So, when it came to these people, Luo Li would show absolutely no mercy.
Ye Yun nodded, a hint of appreciation in his eyes. This young girl was shrewd and decisive in killing, possessing the commanding aura of a true Sect Master.
"Heroine, we really don't know!" the other young man also begged loudly, tears streaming down his face.
"Old Ancestor, they might genuinely not know!" Luo Li turned apologetically and said to Ye Yun with a wry smile. "Had I known this, I would have spared those five!"
Ye Yun shook his head and said casually, "Since these two have no value, kill them."
A thrill of joy surged through Luo Li. She raised her sword, and with two swift flashes of cold light, their heads fell to the ground.
"Hehe."
After killing them, Luo Li couldn't help but chuckle.
There was a time when cultivators of the Mysterious Pill Realm were like untouchable figures to me, Luo Li mused. But now, killing them is as easy as chopping vegetables. It's just so effortless! And all of this is thanks to the Old Ancestor. As this triumphant feeling settled in, Luo Li's mindset began to slowly change.
Ye Yun walked a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, arriving next to the corpses of the five men.
He gently extended a finger. A dazzling ray of light shot out from his fingertip, instantly entering the mind of one of the deceased men.
Luo Li held her breath, her gaze fixed on Ye Yun's actions with intense curiosity. Old Ancestor, what is he doing?
A faint red soul slowly rose from the top of the man's head, drifting aimlessly.
Ye Yun's eyes narrowed slightly as light continued to flicker at his fingertips, seeping into this soul.
He was currently executing a supreme soul-extracting secret technique.
This secret technique could separately extract the soul of a recently deceased person, preventing it from entering the Six Paths of Reincarnation. At the same time, it allowed for a soul search, exploring the person's entire lifetime of memories.
After ten or so seconds, Ye Yun slowly exhaled, his expression calm.
"Old Ancestor, have you discovered anything?" Luo Li asked softly.
He must be searching for something with these mysterious methods, she thought. She wasn't foolish.
"Do you know about Wanbao Pavilion?" Ye Yun looked up and asked Luo Li quietly.
"Yes, Old Ancestor. Wanbao Pavilion is the largest auction house in the Ancient Moon Dynasty," Luo Li explained.
"These people are from the Qing Sword Gate. They accepted a mission from Wanbao Pavilion. If we want to find your junior brother, we must go to Wanbao Pavilion," Ye Yun said softly.
After he finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow slightly, a thoughtful expression on his face.
It seems the power behind this isn't simple, Ye Yun mused. They don't act directly, merely using Wanbao Pavilion to issue tasks. They're hidden very deep. Honestly, with the Dragon God Sect currently in decline and with so few members, they really don't need to go to such lengths. Yet, unexpectedly, they remain as cunning as foxes, manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
This made Ye Yun very curious.
I'd also like to see who exactly is orchestrating this scheme against the Dragon God Sect from the shadows, he thought.
A fire blazed up.
The seven people from the Qing Sword Gate were all turned to ashes by Ye Yun's fire.
Then he rearranged the formation in the back mountain before leaving the ruins of the Dragon God Sect with Luo Li.
Ye Yun was unfamiliar with the Ancient Moon Dynasty, as it was a new power that had risen ten thousand years ago.
Luo Li led the way. Ye Yun displayed terrifying flight speed, crossing tens of thousands of miles in merely two or three breaths to directly reach the capital of the Ancient Moon Dynasty.
Such terrifying speed! Luo Li marveled internally. Could this be the power of the True God Realm?
The moment Luo Li's feet touched the ground, she recalled the terrifying flight and couldn't help but tremble internally.
This journey of tens of thousands of miles would have taken me at least half a month, she thought, still reeling. But for the Old Ancestor, it only took a few breaths!
The royal city of the Ancient Moon Dynasty was Dayue City. The two of them joined the bustling crowd and walked in through the city gate.
The Ancient Moon Dynasty was a nation of cultivators, so they could be seen everywhere on the streets.
After walking for a while, they arrived before the entrance of Wanbao Pavilion.
"Two honored guests, are you here to auction or to buy…?" a young attendant hurried up with a smile.
This young attendant was quite observant. Seeing that Ye Yun and Luo Li both had refined demeanors and an air of nobility, he knew they were certainly not ordinary people.
Ye Yun paid no attention to the young attendant and led Luo Li directly inside.
"I want to see your manager!" Ye Yun said indifferently.
"Alright!" The young attendant, startled by Ye Yun's commanding presence, felt a knot of fear in his heart.
This man before him seemed to have no cultivation base, yet his every gesture exuded a powerful aura that made one's spirit tremble.
The beautiful woman with him, so young, was already a powerful cultivator at The Tenth Layer Peak of the Origin Sea Realm.
He dared not slight them and quickly went to the second floor to report to the old manager.
