Chapter 62
“Yuyan, I’m glad you understand,” Yang Chen said, hugging her. “This Venerable Cangchen, you saw what Yun’er looked like last night—his body was filled with bloodthirsty, ferocious qi, like a hellish death god! Moreover, his cultivation path requires slaughtering other cultivators and refining them into blood pills. He has only recovered to the Sixth stage of Foundation Establishment realm but can already wield the power of Late-stage Nascent Soul! His true soul must be beyond the Soul Transformation realm! If left unchecked, the entire Qingling Sect would become his blood feast as he regains his strength.”
Upon hearing this, the Qingling Sect Master and several elders trembled in fear. ‘Ye Yun’ had displayed Late-stage Nascent Soul power the previous night—something the Qingling Sect couldn’t withstand. If this person who refined cultivators into blood pills was released, the Qingling Sect would be annihilated.
“Holy Son, you’re right!” the Qingling Sect Master said urgently. “Though the body is still Ye Yun’s, his soul is now the Venerable Cangchen’s! If we don’t eliminate him now, he will become a great threat to the Qingling Sect and the entire Northern Spiritual Realm!”
At this moment, Ye Yun, who had been suppressed, woke up and overheard the Sect Master’s words. The suppressive force had weakened slightly, allowing him to speak.
“Aunt!” Ye Yun called out urgently.
Everyone turned to look at him.
“Aunt, I’m really Yun’er! I haven’t been possessed! Don’t listen to their nonsense! When I was five, my mother entrusted me to you! When I was eight, you took me to the Liyang Kingdom to pay respects to my parents! When I was twelve, you fought for spiritual herbs to improve my constitution and were seriously injured! Aunt, I am really Yun’er! These people are Yang Chen’s lackeys! This is all Yang Chen’s scheme to get rid of me and to conquer you!”
Ye Yun shouted anxiously. Despite being a Void Refinement cultivator, he was panicking. He hadn’t expected Yang Chen to be so strong. Even though he was a reincarnated Void Refinement cultivator who could wield the power of Late-stage Nascent Soul realm, he had been subdued by Yang Chen in one move! This bastard had Primordial Fire and terrifying demonic powers—he could indeed destroy Ye Yun’s soul!
No, I can’t die! I absolutely can’t die!
Ye Yun looked at Leng Yuyan with innocent, pleading eyes, hoping to move her. However, his words only triggered Leng Yuyan’s memories and anger. Her only blood relative had been possessed and killed by this Venerable Cangchen.
“Shut up! You’re not my Yun’er! You killed him!” Leng Yuyan shouted, her voice filled with murderous intent.
Ye Yun was stunned. “Aunt! You don’t believe me? Why? Why don’t you believe me? Why do you believe that bastard Yang Chen over me? I- I’m the one who loves you the most!”
Ye Yun’s face turned green as he rasped angrily. His beloved aunt didn’t believe him and even had murderous intent towards him. Dammit! His anger surged uncontrollably.
But this declaration of love shocked everyone present except Yang Chen, whose expression remained unchanged. The Qingling Sect Master and elders looked horrified, especially Leng Yuyan, who felt a chill run down her spine. This Venerable Cangchen not only possessed her nephew but also wanted to possess her.
Despicable! Disgusting! What a pervert!
Leng Yuyan’s face turned icy as she drew her spiritual sword, her body radiating killing intent.
“I will kill you and avenge Yun’er!” Leng Yuyan swung her sword but stopped. “Brother Chen, I can’t do it. Please, kill him for me!”
“Yuyan!” Yang Chen held the tearful Leng Yuyan, gently stroking her back to soothe her grief. The Qingling Sect Master and elders tactfully left the courtyard.
“Damn it! Aunt, why are you doing this to me? Yang Chen, don’t touch my aunt!” Ye Yun cursed, his eyes bloodshot as Leng Yuyan coldly glanced at him before leaving the courtyard.
[Ding! Leng Yuyan’s killing intent towards Ye Yun has caused him to have mental breakdown. Plundering 1000 points of Providence Luck. Host has gained 1000 VPs!]
1000 VPs? Yun’er was done. It was time to send him off.
In the courtyard, only Yang Chen and Ye Yun remained.
“Yang Chen, who the hell are you? What do you want?” Ye Yun cursed, now feeling a bit panicked. Despite Yang Chen’s smile, Ye Yun sensed a palpable killing intent and deathly aura. Though Yang Chen was only at the Nascent Soul realm, he instilled fear in Ye Yun, who had been reincarnated and aspired to surpass his past cultivation realm to avenge his enemies. He couldn’t die here! “Yang Chen, if you spare me, I can give you a method and divine powers to reach the Void Refinement realm, along with numerous formations and there’s also the Path of an Asura!” Ye Yun offered.
Yang Chen chuckled. “So, you admit that you possessed his body?”
“Hmph, so what if I admit it?” Alone with Yang Chen, Ye Yun stopped pretending. “I was a Void Refinement cultivator! Killing me isn’t that easy! If you let me go, I’ll tell you everything I know. A Void Refinement cultivator’s knowledge is invaluable!”
“Is that so?” Yang Chen smiled, squatting down to pat Ye Yun’s head. “Yun’er, your aunt asked if you enjoyed listening last night?”
“Ah! Bastard!” Ye Yun roared in rage, Yang Chen’s words hitting a nerve. This damned bastard had been deliberate!
“Yun’er, I quite like this ferocious look of yours,” Yang Chen said, then added, “Let me introduce you to a good friend.”
Yang Chen waved, and Yan Jiu, clad in a black robe, appeared beside him, his face full of excitement.
“Master!” Yan Jiu greeted eagerly, thrilled that Yang Chen had decided to kill Ye Yun.
“A good friend?” Ye Yun, calming down, looked at Yan Jiu with confusion.
“Yun’er, you were a Void Refinement cultivator in your past life. You must have heard of the Soul Cult?” Yang Chen asked.
“The Soul Cult?” Ye Yun froze, then looked at Yan Jiu, who flashed a toothy grin, with terror on his face.
