Hearing that familiar voice, Lin Miaoxue looked up and, upon seeing Ye Yu in a black robe suspended in midair, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
For some reason, Ye Yu’s arrival brought her a sense of peace.
On the other hand, Ye Zhouhao’s face turned ashen.
His eyes fixated on the figure in the sky.
He truly did not expect that the one who killed his son, Ye Xujie, would dare to swagger over like this.
And at such a fast pace, no less.
Something was off!
Absolutely off!
The Ye family of the Forbidden Yin River had been hidden for many years.
In the cultivation world, the younger generation hadn’t even heard of the Ye family name. As for their whereabouts, they were even less informed.
So, how did Ye Yu manage to find them?
Thinking of this, Ye Zhouhao began to seriously doubt that this man before him had come specifically to target the Ye family.
He then asked in a deep voice, “Who exactly are you? Why did you kill my son, and how did you know the hidden location of my Ye family?”
“I killed your son because he brought it upon himself, trying to steal my things and even wanting my wife.”
“Such a person naturally deserves to die. As for how I found this place, it’s simple: soul searching!”
Ye Yu’s expression was calm.
The soul searching he mentioned referred to the soul of the Ye family’s direct descendant, Ye Xujieming.
When he performed the soul search back then, he not only learned about the events from thirty thousand years ago, but also the location of the Ye family, as well as some gossip within the clan.
To say nothing of it, the Ye family members certainly played some interesting games.
But Ye Zhouhao did not think so.
He instinctively believed that Ye Yu not only killed Ye Xujie but also used soul searching on him.
Such methods were only employed by those of the demonic path. The soul searching technique would cause great suffering to the soul.
Often, once the soul search was complete, the soul would be completely shattered.
Although he was already psychologically prepared, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of rage when he heard that after his son’s death, his soul had also been tormented.
Ye Zhouhao, as the old father, could no longer suppress his murderous intent.
He charged directly at Ye Yu.
“I will make you pay!”
His roar echoed through heaven and earth.
The terrifying pressure of a mid-stage Ascension realm expert suddenly emerged.
Six high-grade magic swords floated in front of Ye Zhouhao, giving off an invincible feeling.
Seeing this, Lin Miaoxue suddenly soared into the air, wanting to block Ye Zhouhao for Ye Yu.
But before she could advance, a wave of immense sword intent surged down like the waters of the starry river, enveloping Ye Yu completely.
The surrounding sword energy suddenly manifested, appearing almost tangible. They intertwined and spiraled around him.
The overwhelming sword intent forced Lin Miaoxue back.
She looked at Ye Yu in disbelief.
Such a sharp sword intent…it was something she had rarely encountered in her life.
No wonder Ye Yu was uninterested in the Pure Heart Sword. With just this sword intent, he could crush everything. It was simply too powerful.
As Ye Yu lightly raised his right hand, the high-grade spiritual sword, Yudie, appeared out of thin air.
With a casual swing of the sword, the sword energy surrounding him seemed to respond, rushing toward Ye Zhouhao with the force of thunder.
The sky full of sword energy seemed to materialize at this moment, transforming into something entirely black, just like the sword.
Incredibly sharp.
This was the Profound Heart Sword!
In an instant, it shattered all six magic swords in front of Ye Zhouhao with overwhelming force.
Afterward, the remaining momentum did not diminish!
Ye Zhouhao’s body suddenly froze.
Then it erupted into a dazzling mist of blood.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Everyone present was stunned into silence.
They even doubted whether their eyes were deceiving them.
The esteemed head of the Ye family from the Forbidden Yin River, a great Ascension realm cultivator, had been instantly killed by a single sword strike.
How was that possible?
It completely overturned their understanding.
Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
With a thought, he withdrew the vast sword energy.
Within the blood mist, Ye Zhouhao’s soul, which was about to be shredded by the sword energy, was spared.
He thought Ye Yu was overly careless, so he immediately tried to turn and flee.
But unexpectedly, before he could act, a powerful pulling force suddenly surged forth.
Ye Zhouhao’s soul let out a wretched scream.
In the end, he was trapped by a mysterious force, his form continuously shrinking.
Eventually, he ended up in Ye Yu’s palm.
Ye Zhouhao’s soul was filled with terror.
It was only now that he realized that Ye Yu had not been careless at all. He had deliberately chosen to leave his soul intact.
Ye Zhouhao could no longer care about maintaining any composure. He shouted loudly, “Ye clan members, are you all dead? Hurry up and come save me! Ah—!”
Ye Zhouhao cried out in pain once more.
This was because a pale blue flame had inexplicably ignited upon his soul, the pain penetrating to the bone.
It brought Ye Zhouhao to the brink of mental collapse.
In such a situation, most of the Ye family members looked at each other in bewilderment.
Not only did they not make a move, but they also couldn’t help but step back a pace.
What a joke; even the strongest of the Ye clan, the family head Ye Zhouhao, wasn’t a match for this person.
How could they dare to provoke Ye Yu?
Rescuing him?
Let’s forget about that!
Of course, there were also some die-hard loyalists of Ye Zhouhao.
Seeing their leader in such dire straits, they naturally couldn’t remain indifferent. They immediately prepared to step in and save him.
But they all overlooked something.
At this moment, there was not just one enemy in the Ye family, but also Lin Miaoxue, known as the strongest demon lord from thirty thousand years ago.
Suddenly, a red sword light flickered, and a giant dragon made of flames appeared out of nowhere.
In an instant, it engulfed six members of the Ye family.
Then, after soaring around the area, it let out a deep roar.
The sheer force of it forced everyone to retreat, creating a wide space for Ye Yu and themselves.
“Who dares to take a step forward will die!”
Before the words even finished, six charred corpses fell from the sky.
In that moment, Lin Miaoxue’s aura fully unleashed.
Like a dragon from the heavens, she looked down upon the ants on the ground.
All present were instantly stunned into silence. None dared to take a single step forward.
Ye Yu witnessed it all, a smile appearing on his face.
His evaluation of Lin Miaoxue rose a few notches once again.
Decisive in killing, never dragging things out. No wonder she was called the strongest demon.
At this time, Ye Zhouhao was tormented to the brink. His soul showed signs of dispersal.
He was on the edge of complete annihilation.
Ye Yu casually snapped his fingers, and the pale blue flames around them suddenly vanished.
Only then did Ye Zhouhao finally catch his breath.
Ye Yu teased, “How did Lin Fengyuan die thirty thousand years ago? Come on, tell me. Of course, you can choose not to tell the truth, and then I can just soul-search you.”
Ye Zhouhao’s soul shivered.
He first glanced toward the north of the Ye family.
Seeing no changes, he self-deprecatingly smiled and began to slowly recount the events of that year.
What he said coincided perfectly with Ye Yu’s account.
Hearing with her own ears that Lin Fengyuan’s death was a conspiracy planned by the Ye family, Lin Miaoxue’s tears flowed like rain.
Her brother truly died because of her.
The Pure Heart Sword—an innocent man suffers for having something precious!
At the same time, in the back mountains of the Ye family, a pair of eyes quietly observed Ye Yu and Lin Miaoxue.
