Over the next three days, Tang Yu encountered two elders from the Maiden Sect again.
These two people had the same idea as Linglong.
They intended to take advantage of Tang Yu being alone to capture their prey.
And, as expected, they too ended up falling into Tang Yu's hands.
One of them was a voluptuous and beautiful woman, who almost ended up being devoured by Tang Yu. In the end, she resorted to self-destruction as a threat, preferring to die rather than surrender.
The other was an old woman.
Upon seeing her wrinkled face...
Tang Yu didn't even dare to joke with her; he simply waited for her spiritual energy to run out and then struck her until she was half-dead.
After the battle, he stole her magical treasures and storage ring.
Once this entire process was completed...
He spat on her with disdain before leaving, satisfied.
And right after, he encountered a fourth elder from the Maiden Sect who had come out to hunt him.
This time, Tang Yu wasn't as lucky as before.
The woman seemed to have already received news and immediately decided to engage him in combat, while using her bracelet to call for reinforcements.
Seeing that this woman was so sensible and cautious...
Tang Yu yelled that he would paint her portrait later and ran off.
Thanks to his ability to attract fog monsters as he ventured deeper into the area, it took him half a day to get rid of that elder from the Maiden Sect.
Meanwhile, on the side of the main entourage of the Maiden Sect...
The first one to be defeated, Linglong, had already rejoined the group.
Seeing that such a powerful elder as Linglong had even lost her magical treasures...
And that she also had a piece of white cloth covering her head for no apparent reason...
Everyone in the Maiden Sect was deeply shocked.
"Grandma Linglong, were you ambushed by someone from the Hehuan Sect?"
Noticing that she had even lost her most valuable storage ring...
Ning Qingyan started to feel uneasy.
Just as she thought, the plan against that man couldn't succeed so easily.
Her master, although an expert in strategies...
How could she compare to the cunning members of the Hehuan Sect?
"I lost to Tang Yu."
Linglong responded, her face full of shame.
Although saying it destroyed her authority, it wasn't the time to keep information for the sake of pride.
"Lost to Tang Yu? But Grandma Linglong, you're a little above him in level! How could you lose to him...?"
Everyone was incredulous.
Even among cultivators of the same level, Elder Linglong was one of the strongest.
And seeing that even her robe had been torn... Could it be...?
Noticing the strange looks from everyone...
Linglong's gaze turned cold, and after glancing at each of them, she shouted in a stern voice:
"I only lost to him, nothing happened between us!"
Everyone quickly nodded and didn't dare to say anything more.
Saying something would make them mortal enemies of Linglong.
"Grandma Linglong, don't be upset. What's that on your head?"
Ning Qingyan tried to change the subject.
"..."
"Are you injured? I saw you also lost your storage ring, do you want me to apply some medicine?"
"It's fine, it's just a small injury that's almost healed."
Linglong twisted her mouth, determined not to take off the white cloth from her head.
She asked Ning Qingyan to give her a cloak to cover herself and then, with a worried expression, said:
"This time Tang Yu is alone, but he seems to know our plan in advance. He's deliberately hunting down our members one by one. I suggest no one moves alone, or at least go in pairs."
Fighting one on one, not even a cultivator at the peak of the Soul Nascent realm could defeat that bastard who wouldn't be defeated even if he died.
But if only she had a companion of equal power...
That bastard Tang Yu would already be dead!
"If he really knows our plan, it can't be that he's just acting alone to set traps. It's possible the entire Hehuan Sect has prepared a counterattack. We need to abort the plan and return immediately."
Ning Qingyan started contacting the others with her bracelet to gather the team.
The members of the Maiden Sect sighed, their faces gloomy.
Every attempt to catch Tang Yu ended in failure.
As one of the Seven Great Sects, the Maiden Sect could no longer maintain its prestige.
Would they have to send the founding elder to kill a mere young man if this continued?
Once the messages were sent...
The elders began to return slowly.
And just as they were discussing the new plan, a group quickly approached their location.
Before they arrived, the sword energy in the air could already be felt.
They were cultivators from the Thousand Swords Mountain, the same group that had entered.
Five cultivators from the Thousand Swords Mountain, all with swords on their backs, were approaching the Maiden Sect group.
The cultivators from the Maiden Sect immediately went on alert.
In these types of secret realms, conflicts between the Seven Great Sects over cultivation resources were common.
But Ning Qingyan, who was leading the group, raised her hand to calm them down.
She stepped forward and greeted the elder at the front.
"Greetings, Master Zhou."
"Little one, your cultivation has progressed quickly. Keep it up."
The old man had two long white eyebrows, an ethereal appearance, and an air of wisdom.
Compared to the other cultivators of the Thousand Swords Mountain, he seemed somewhat different.
After stroking his beard and laughing a little, the old man saw Linglong and immediately reacted, saying with a smile:
"No wonder your master was willing to give up that piece of Celestial Crystal to ask for our help. It seems that the guy from the Hehuan sect is indeed formidable."
With these words, the disciples of the Maidens Sect immediately lowered their guard.
So, it was a reinforcement hired at a high price by the sect leader.
"Where is that guy Tang Yu now?"
Asked Elder Zhou.
"I found him three days ago heading southeast, but now I have no precise information about his location."
Linglong replied with a bitter smile.
"Heading southeast? You four separate and search for him. If you find him, use the flying sword to inform me."
Elder Zhou looked at the four behind him and spoke.
The four, like him, had strength at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.
But still, they showed deep respect for Elder Zhou.
After bowing respectfully, they scattered to search for Tang Yu.
Seeing that they were also about to separate, Linglong hurriedly shouted:
"Don't scatter! That Tang Yu has surprising combat strength and also masters a divine defensive technique! Even though I used all my spiritual power, I couldn't break it! No one below the Divine Transformation Realm can defeat him!"
But the four cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain left without even looking back.
Hearing this, Elder Zhou smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter, I will take action."
Seeing that Elder Zhou spoke, Linglong said no more.
Among cultivators of her level, she was considered a formidable fighter.
But even though both were at the peak of Nascent Soul, the old man's level was incomparable to hers.
Throughout the southern region of the Nine Heavens Continent, he was the strongest cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm in nearly a thousand years.
And not just because he was a sword cultivator; this old man had been a great cultivator in the middle stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.
It was just that, due to a fierce battle, he had descended to the Nascent Soul Realm.
But how could his true strength simply be limited to Nascent Soul?
After chatting briefly with Ning Qingyan, Elder Zhou turned, mounted his flying sword, and flew away.
Two days passed.
Elder Zhou had not received news from his companions.
On the contrary, he ran directly into Tang Yu, who was walking towards him.
Upon meeting, seeing that he was a cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, Tang Yu had no intention of paying him any attention.
He hadn't found any cultivators from the Maidens Sect in two days.
He was about to change direction to keep searching when he suddenly felt a murderous intent emanating from the old man.
Looking at him cautiously, Tang Yu raised an eyebrow and said: "Are you looking for a fight?"
"I'm not looking for a fight, just to kill you."
The old man extended his hand, and the long sword on his back flew out of its sheath and into his palm.
A Nascent Soul energy even denser than that of a peak realm cultivator unfolded.
After speaking, countless sword energies crossed the sky and the earth.
Within a radius of several kilometers, everything seemed to transform into a chessboard, and the sword energies became white and black pieces that fell without ceasing.
The surrounding fog also completely dissipated.
Only Tang Yu remained, alone in the center of the board, watching as the sword energies fell upon him.
"You old bastard, I slept with your granddaughter, but I have no grudge against you."
"You'll see, when I return, I'll draw some pictures of you with Fang Meiyun."
"And also one with your sect leader, both of you with your love for men."
While using his divine technique to defend against the sword energies,
Tang Yu kept making provocations with his mouth.
But what was wrong with this damn Ten Thousand Swords Mountain? If he didn't even have grudges with them, why were they picking on a decent guy?
"Loose tongue? First, I'll cut off your tongue before I kill you."
Elder Zhou let out a cold laugh, and in his heart, a growing anger was already building. This brat spoke with insolence that was infuriating.
If he really went out and painted those scenes...
How was he going to face the world afterward?
Tang Yu just kept attacking with words, and his poisonous tongue was not at all inferior to the rain of swords.
After a stick of incense's worth of confrontation, Elder Zhou began to feel something strange.
Was this kid's defensive technique really that powerful?
"Old man, can't take it anymore? Is old age making you weak? If you can't handle it, go to the Maidens Sect, being a woman's not that bad."
Seeing the old man's attack soften a little,
Tang Yu kept using his verbal assaults as a destructive weapon.
At the same time, he silently activated a divine technique he had comprehended from the Path of Snow.
After the new verbal attack, Elder Zhou, who had calmed down a bit, resumed attacking with renewed fury.
But not even half a stick of incense had passed when suddenly, Elder Zhou looked at his sword with alarm.
That vital treasure that had accompanied him for over two thousand years...
It was starting to show signs of snow-like discoloration!
And the sword's cutting aura had a faint smell of rotten blood.
Moreover, his internal energy was severely affected; for a moment, even the flow of energy became difficult.
"What kind of divine technique is that?"
Realizing that it was a counteroffensive from Tang Yu,
Elder Zhou looked at him with sharp eyes. Was his vital treasure being contaminated?
"Fuck off!"
Tang Yu cursed loudly once and began putting several elixirs into his mouth.
These elixirs could temporarily boost combat strength.
Commonly known as "buffs."
After applying more than ten buffs, Tang Yu began launching attacks, fighting hand-to-hand with the old man.
After such a long time resisting, the "Night Fight" ability was almost at its limit.
The old man's damage potential was already close to the Divine Transformation Realm.
If he didn't bring out something of value, he really couldn't fight him.
Even though his true energy and magical treasure were contaminated,
Elder Zhou still showed impressive combat strength, and even during the confrontation, he was slightly superior.
Until the contamination of his true energy became even more severe.
That's when Elder Zhou's combat strength began to wane.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang Yu controlled a magical treasure in the form of a flying sword, aiming its tip directly at Elder Zhou's crotch.
At the same time, Elder Zhou's sword was pointing toward Tang Yu's chest.
Both were at a deadlock.
"Do you dare move? I'll cut off your brother's balls first."
Seeing that the old man's sword was pointing at him, Tang Yu threatened.
However, Elder Zhou smiled cruelly.
"Only a couple of inches left. At my age, it doesn't matter anymore, but you, kid, it'll cost you your life!"
