The commotion in the Cui family side hall quickly drew the attention of every branch of the Cui family.
They all rushed over from the outer areas.
But the moment they saw Ling Tai in his black robe, their expressions changed drastically.
As people who had barely survived the previous calamity that struck the Cui family, they knew better than anyone how terrifying the Xuanling Sect truly was.
Especially this Grand Elder Ling Tai standing before them.
Countless members of the Cui family’s God Clan had died at his hands.
Later, after Gu Yuanzhen’s death, Ling Tai had ascended to the position of Divine Alliance leader and stepped into the Divine Sovereign Realm.
Wasn’t he supposed to have been killed by the God Clan of the Extreme Moon Pavilion?
So why had he suddenly appeared at the Cui family again?
What exactly was going on?
Not only were the various Cui family branches confused, even Cui Yanshui was stunned.
In her understanding, hadn’t the Xuanling Sect already sealed the Divine Alliance passage and gone into seclusion?
Why had Ling Tai come again?
To wipe out the roots completely?
Whatever the reason, the hatred of the past made it impossible for Cui Yanshui to remain calm.
She wanted to step forward and attack, but a powerful wave of weakness suddenly swept through her body. In her current condition, she simply could not endure any intense movement.
Qi Yuan reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to support Cui Yanshui.
There was no way she would miss this kind of opportunity to show herself and earn goodwill.
One could only say that she was genuinely working hard to fit in.
But neither the surrounding Cui family branches nor Cui Yanshui herself mattered to Ling Tai in the slightest.
In his heart, only one person here deserved his attention.
Ye Yu.
As long as he could kill this man, the inner demon that had haunted him for years would finally disappear completely.
He had truly waited far too long for this battle.
So now, he would absolutely not allow anyone to interfere between them.
Ling Tai slowly raised a hand.
In the next instant, both he and Ye Yu vanished from where they stood.
When they appeared again, they were already millions of li away.
Only then did Ling Tai calmly speak.
“Do you know? After you killed Gu Yuanzhen back then, the sword strike you directed at me is something I still remember vividly to this day.”
“I’ve wanted to kill you for a very, very long time.”
“To complete the salvation of my inner demon.”
“But before we begin, there’s one question I truly want answered.”
“When my mind was unclear back then... why didn’t you kill me?”
“With your strength, killing me at that time should have been very easy, right?”
Ye Yu could not help letting out a mocking laugh.
“My strength?”
“What strength do I have?”
“A newly advanced Ancient God Realm cultivator trying to kill a Divine Sovereign?”
“That would’ve been extremely difficult.”
But clearly, Ling Tai had always mistaken Ye Yu for a Divine Sovereign Realm expert.
Ye Yu had no intention of exposing the misunderstanding.
Ling Tai could think whatever he wanted.
After all, his time was probably running short anyway.
Still, Ye Yu was more than willing to answer the question.
“I was just looking for a useful blade.”
“You happened to appear, and you happened to fit.”
“If you hadn’t regained your senses so quickly, maybe I would’ve kept using you.”
A tremendous sense of disappointment suddenly welled up inside Ling Tai.
Just... a blade?
Of course, the emotion vanished in an instant and was hidden perfectly by him.
Whatever.
No matter what Ye Yu said today, he had to die here.
This was the fate of the two of them.
Ling Tai slowly took a deep breath before thoroughly preparing himself.
Then he said in a deep voice,
“Make your move. Today, only one of us is leaving here alive.”
“Fine.”
Ye Yu answered without hesitation and immediately formed hand seals.
Seeing this, Ling Tai frowned slightly.
Those were the gestures used to activate divine talismans.
Why was Ye Yu relying on external objects instead of his own strength?
To Divine Sovereign Realm experts, pills, talismans, and similar things were merely external tools, unworthy of notice.
Only one’s own strength was truly reliable.
Just as Ling Tai was about to speak, he suddenly sensed fluctuations of divine power coming from the left side of his waist.
Looking down, he discovered that a golden talisman had already begun glowing.
When had this thing appeared?
If Ye Yu thought this kind of trick could deal with him, it was simply too naive.
Ling Tai casually waved a hand, and the talisman instantly disintegrated without leaving behind the slightest trace.
“Can you use your real strength already?”
“In my eyes, you’re the best opponent possible, so stop playing these childish games!”
Ling Tai’s hoarse roar made Ye Yu frown.
“Why are you yelling so loudly?”
“Haven’t I already made my move?”
As he spoke, Ye Yu pointed toward Ling Tai’s right waist.
Ling Tai lowered his head and instantly discovered an extremely concealed miniature formation.
Only then did he finally understand.
The talisman on the left side had merely been a distraction.
The real killing move was this formation.
Ling Tai’s heart suddenly sank. Just as he was about to stop it, the formation had already activated.
In an instant, his figure vanished.
When he appeared again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.
The surrounding God Clan members were equally shocked by Ling Tai’s sudden appearance.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, they instinctively prepared for battle.
Some quick thinking God Clan members immediately came up with a solution.
“Quickly invite the Grand Elder!”
“Quickly invite the Grand Elder!”
One loud shout after another echoed into the distance.
Ling Tai swept his gaze across the area. Though the environment was unfamiliar, the style of divine robes worn by these God Clan members was something he recognized immediately.
The God Clan of the Extreme Moon Pavilion!
That’s right.
This place was the headquarters of the Extreme Moon Pavilion.
And the “Grand Elder” these people were shouting for was none other than Hua Nongying, the woman who had nearly beaten him to death back then.
Holy hell!
How could Ye Yu be this shameless?
They had agreed to a fair and honorable duel, yet he had directly started killing with a borrowed knife!
Ling Tai knew perfectly well that this was not a place he could stay for long, so his first thought was to flee immediately.
But just as his body rose into the air, a gigantic palm descended from the sky and smashed him back down.
The violent pain twisted Ling Tai’s face in agony. He looked upward and saw an elegant, noble woman standing proudly in the air.
It was his former opponent, Hua Nongying.
At this moment, even Hua Nongying herself felt somewhat puzzled.
Something seemed wrong here.
Back at the Cui family, hadn’t she already killed this man?
So why was he suddenly alive and kicking again?
And according to the reports from her subordinates, he had even appeared in the Extreme Moon Pavilion’s main hall on his own initiative.
Damn.
Was this brat seriously this arrogant?
Then she certainly wouldn’t mind killing him one more time.
Hua Nongying’s gaze instantly changed.
Killing intent erupted from her entire body.
