Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

"No, no, the pleasure is all mine. I am Sima Xuyan. Tianyun Fairy, your reputation truly precedes you. Seeing you in person now is breathtaking."

Sima Xuyan said with a warm smile, his words filled with passion.

"Sima Daoist Brother, you’re too kind."

Ye Tianyun remained unmoved by such flattery, merely offering a cool reply.

"I speak from the heart, it’s not—"

"Sima Daoist Brother, let’s hurry to where the Yin Spirits are."

Ye Tianyun frowned slightly, cutting Sima Xuyan off.

Sima Xuyan froze for a moment, then quickly said, "Of course. Please, follow me."

As Sima Xuyan turned, a vicious glint flashed in his eyes.

Neither Liu Xu’Er nor Ye Tianyun noticed anything amiss, but Ye Tianling immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Ye Tianling pondered for a moment. He then tried to use the Tianshu Ancient Town Celestial Secret Divine Skill to open his Eye of Celestial Secret, but he couldn’t.

At once, Ye Tianling empowered the technique with his Celestial Dao Rule Domain and once again used the Tianshu Ancient Town Celestial Secret Divine Skill to open the Eye of Celestial Secret.

This time, in an instant, Ye Tianling clearly saw the shifting auras of fate surrounding Liu Xu’Er and Ye Tianyun.

’Trouble. A life-or-death matter, and it’s happening two hours from now. It seems I was right to come. After they overcome this ordeal, their path forward will be smooth.’

As Ye Tianling considered this, he moved, following them more closely.

Along the way, the three of them hunted many Alien Race life forms.

Ye Tianling saw colossal ants, venomous hornets, mantises, beetles, and other creatures of the Beast Race. Without exception, these life forms all possessed extremely high Defense Power, Battle Power, and Attack Power.

However, they posed little obstacle to Liu Xu’er and her companions.

Soon, the trio ventured deep into a mountain range and stopped before an emerald-green cliff face.

An ancient cave lay hidden behind a curtain of emerald-green vines.

The inside of the cave was incredibly dark, and it was filled with many Yin Spirits.

"This is the place. The Battle Power and Dao Pattern manifestations of these Yin Spirits are quite unique. They will surely help you gather the final few Dao Patterns needed for your Fourth Spirit, the Thief-Devouring Spirit, to reach Perfection, Tianyun Fairy."

A cold smile flickered in Sima Xuyan’s eyes as he spoke with feigned enthusiasm.

"Alright, let’s go in now."

Liu Xu’Er didn’t give it a second thought. After all, they had known each other for nearly half a year, and she considered Sima Xuyan a good friend.

She felt she could trust his character.

"Yes, let’s go."

Just as Sima Xuyan spoke, Ye Tianling deliberately emerged from a dense thicket. He appeared just in time to see the three of them pulling aside the vines, preparing to enter the cave.

"Hm?"

Sima Xuyan’s expression flickered, and killing intent instantly flooded his eyes.

But he quickly suppressed it. ’The plan is already in motion. How can I give up now?’

"Oh? A cave? There must be some new Alien life forms in there! Perfect, just what I need for my Seven Spirits Transformation. Shall we go together, you three?"

Ye Tianling concealed the blood-red color in his eyes, leaving only a faint red glow in his pupils.

His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.

Ye Tianyun froze. She felt this man seemed vaguely familiar. But as she looked closer, she saw he was remarkably handsome and aloof, with an exceptionally transcendent air that was incredibly captivating.

Ye Tianyun found herself instantly drawn to him.

By the time she snapped out of it, nearly five breaths later, she couldn’t help but blush.

Liu Xu’Er had a similar reaction.

Seeing their bashful reactions, Sima Xuyan grew furious, finding it even harder to suppress his killing intent.

’He... he looks a lot like my brother... It’s just... my brother isn’t as outstanding as him.’

Ye Tianyun realized the source of her ’familiarity,’ but the thought only made her heart sink.

Any flicker of excitement she felt was completely extinguished by the reality of her family’s situation.

"Fellow Daoist, the Alien Race beings in this cave are extremely powerful. Your... what is your current level of strength? Have you reached the Sword Void Eighth Transformation?"

Liu Xu’Er’s heart was also racing slightly, but she forced herself to calm down and ask.

"Mm, I’m just about there. But my Battle Power is decent."

Ye Tianling was only at the Early Stage of Sword Void Seven Transformations; both his true self and his Dao Body were at this Realm.

However, the Seven Spirits of his Dao Body had all reached Perfection with one hundred Battle Power Dao Patterns each.

Given the circumstances, he had nothing to fear.

"Then... alright, then. You can come with us."

Sima Xuyan was displeased, but he didn’t say anything.

’It just means one more ant to crush.’

Sima Xuyan took a step into the cave, and his figure vanished.

Inside the cave, it was pitch-black. Nothing could be seen.

"It’s safe in here. There are no Yin Spirits for now. Come on in, everyone."

Sima Xuyan’s voice was gentle and remarkably ’cheerful’.

Liu Xu’Er and Ye Tianyun didn’t notice anything wrong.

But Ye Tianling’s Eye of Celestial Secret saw seventeen male and female Cultivators hidden within the cave.

They had formed a circle, completely sealing off the cave.

’Walking into that would be a disaster.’

Beyond these seventeen, there was another male Cultivator whose eyes were exceptionally cold. A raging fire of desire burned in his gaze; clearly, he could no longer wait.

Ye Tianling used his Celestial Dao Rule Domain to empower his Soul Talent and was able to learn this person’s information.

This man was none other than a prodigy of the Yun Family—Yun Shaosheng!

And Yun Xingyi, who had clashed with Ye Tianling before, was one of the seventeen ambushers!

At that moment, coaxed by Sima Xuyan, Liu Xu’Er was the first to enter.

A moment later, Liu Xu’Er was inside the cave, but she didn’t notice the ambushers.

Deep within the cave, it was pitch-black. The aura of Yin Spirits was especially heavy, yet none had appeared.

"It’s fine, Tianyun! And you, fellow Daoist... you should both hurry. If the Yin Spirits swarm us, it will be difficult to handle."

Liu Xu’Er felt a faint, heart-pounding sense of danger, but she mistook it for the impending arrival of the Yin Spirits, not the threat of an ambush.

After Liu Xu’Er spoke, Ye Tianyun slipped into the cave without hesitation.

Ye Tianling followed right after them.

After all three had entered the cave, the ambush didn’t spring immediately.

Sima Xuyan took a few steps forward before turning back to Ye Tianling. "How should I address you, fellow Daoist? And from which power do you hail?"

Ye Tianling knew exactly what was happening but acted nonchalant. He replied coolly, "My name is Tianshu, though I also go by the title Evil Venerable. I am a Loose Cultivator."

"Oh, so it’s fellow Daoist Tianshu. But to have a title like ’Evil Venerable’? It seems that for someone at the mere Sword Void Seven Transformations Realm, you must be quite famous and powerful!"

Sima Xuyan sneered, unable to hide the arrogance and mockery in his voice.
