Chapter 1510: Chapter 1087: Slaying the Demon King, He Yu’s Shock
The Sword Array was indeed fierce, transforming into a Sword Curtain Barrier that completely slashed apart the Thunder Light, turning it into countless Thunder Arcs that dissipated into the void.
Unfortunately for his opponent, Ye Jing Hu’s Thunder Skill was far more than just this. Those scattered Thunder Arcs formed a Thunder Pool that began to surge and churn violently.
Finally, resembling Thunder Feathers, they aggressively swept toward Master Qingzhu.
Master Qingzhu had no choice but to activate his Magical Treasure Protective Body Bell once again to block all the incoming Thunder Light.
However, just looking at his heaving chest was enough to see that Master Qingzhu was by no means having an easy time right now.
He wanted to speak up and continue pinning false accusations on Ye Jing Hu.
But Ye Jing Hu was not going to give him the chance.
A Thunder Spear appeared in his hands. This spear was a Tier Four High-Grade Treasure, a former spoil of war belonging to Ye Jingcheng, which Ye Jingcheng had later placed in the family’s armory and Ye Jing Hu had exchanged for.
In truth, Ye Jing Hu’s True Essence was not profound enough to activate this Magical Treasure.
However, his three Tier Four Thunder Attribute Demon Beasts, especially Lei Hu after its two Advancements, provided him with a profound amount of Thunder Attribute True Essence.
Moreover, despite his unchanged outward appearance, Thunder Patterns had actually surfaced beneath his Daoist Robe.
These Thunder Patterns were the perfect manifestation of the Spirit-controlling Thunder Tiger’s activation.
The moment this spear was thrust, Master Qingzhu looked as if he had just seen his own death. It nearly frightened him out of his wits, making him want to flee in panic.
Thunder Cultivators were inherently stronger than ordinary Cultivators. Facing such a thrust, he suspected that the other party intended to silence him, eliminating all evidence.
Terrified, he hurriedly slapped his Spirit Beast Bag. A Golden Bamboo Wood Demon King appeared in the void, unleashing countless Bamboo Swords that ravaged the surroundings.
Although these Bamboo Swords were overbearing and fierce, they were still somewhat lacking in the face of a Tier Four High-Grade Treasure.
The Golden Bamboo Wood Demon King had to fight desperately just to withstand the attack of the Thunder Spear.
However, contained within the Thunder Spear was a blast of Five Elements Divine Thunder that Ye Jing Hu had prepared in advance.
When it came to the Ye Family’s Five Elements Divine Thunder Secret Technique, Ye Jingcheng ranked first, and Ye Jing Hu was undoubtedly second.
The only caveat was that because he lacked a Five Elements Spirit Root, he had to rely on a Spirit Pill to absorb True Essence in order to activate the Five Elements Divine Thunder.
Even so, its power could not be underestimated.
As it exploded, the Cyan Bamboo Wood Demon King was instantly and severely injured.
Its main body even began to grow dim.
This made Master Qingzhu both heartbroken and terrified in hindsight.
He was heartbroken that his Demon King was severely injured, and terrified because he realized how fortunate it was that he hadn’t blocked the attack himself. The person before him truly had murderous intent.
“I am one of Mansion Master Lu’s people!” Master Qingzhu roared angrily.
But Ye Jing Hu didn’t listen to his explanation at all and prepared to thrust his spear again. This instantly frightened Master Qingzhu into jumping onto his Tier Four Spiritual Ship, not daring to linger for even a moment.
He was about to flee in a panic.
However, how could Ye Jing Hu let him go just like that, especially considering that Golden Bamboo Demon King?
The Ye Family’s Five Elements Nascent Soul Secret Technique was exactly lacking a Tier Four Wood Demon Demon King.
Moreover, the opponent was the one who had struck first, which inherently violated a major taboo among the various Mansions in the Southern Wilderness Province.
Even if Mansion Master Lu showed favoritism toward his opponent, Ye Jing Hu was not afraid.
Therefore, Ye Jing Hu activated a Secret Technique, shooting out a Soul Destruction Needle directly at Master Qingzhu. Caught completely off guard, the latter instantly howled in pain in mid-air.
By the time he recovered his senses, a giant tower had unknowingly enveloped the Golden Bamboo Demon King, and two full blasts of Five Elements Divine Thunder had already bombarded inside.
To be safe, Ye Jing Hu even released the Lei Hu Demon King.
In an instant, only the agonizing screams of the Qingzhu Demon King echoed from within the tower.
After a few breaths, it fell completely silent.
Ye Jing Hu looked at Master Qingzhu again, who immediately lost all will to fight and activated the Dragon Envoy Flying Ship with all his might.
Only then did he manage to escape.
Even if Ye Jing Hu wanted to give chase, he couldn’t catch up anymore.
However, this had already astonished everyone in the Hegu Sect.
“Senior, you are…” Qin Xin Ascendant clearly did not know Ye Jing Hu yet.
After all, Ye Jing Hu hadn’t been very active in the Celestial Sand Sect before, and his Cultivation had only recently broken through to the Golden Core stage.
“From the Celestial Sand Sect, Lei Hu. You can just call me Elder Lei.” Lei Hu was precisely Ye Jing Hu’s Daoist title.
“So it’s Elder Lei from the Celestial Sand Sect! Forgive my lack of manners!” Qin Xin Ascendant repeatedly cupped her hands in a respectful salute.
She then invited Ye Jing Hu into the Spirit Mountain. “Elder Lei, please come into the Spirit Mountain for a chat!”
Hearing this, Ye Jing Hu nodded.
Ye Jingcheng had promised Lady He of the Hegu Sect to assist them twice.
This counted as the first time. If the opponent called for reinforcements, that would count as the second time.
With three Great Demon Kings in his hands, Ye Jing Hu was not in the least bit afraid of someone in the Late Stage of Golden Core.
If Master Celestial Fire from the opponent’s Cyan Heaven Sect came, it would be the perfect opportunity for him to fulfill both promises at once.
Upon entering He Yu Mountain, Ye Jing Hu discovered that the Hegu Sect was actually exceptionally elegant.
There were pavilions amidst mountains and water, clear reflections of lotus flowers, and various poetic Scrolls.
It wasn’t like what he had previously thought—that this Hegu Sect only knew how to practice Dual Cultivation and act as Furnace Cauldrons.
“Elder Lei, please have some tea.” Accompanied by a heavenly voice echoing in his ears, Ye Jing Hu saw a lovely girl, looking as pure as a lotus rising from the water, approaching with Spirit Tea.
Ye Jing Hu watched as she finished pouring the Spirit Tea and then bowed respectfully, displaying the perfect demeanor of a noble lady.
“There’s no need to be so formal. I am only here to fulfill the promise made by our Celestial Sand Sect’s Elder Qianchen,” Ye Jing Hu said, shaking his head repeatedly as he spoke to Qin Xin Ascendant and Elder Gu, not daring to look at that purple silhouette again.
“Elder Lei, that Master Qingzhu is one of the Supreme Elders of the Cyan Heaven Sect. You killed his Demon King, so if they blame you, just say that our Hegu Sect bewitched you into doing it.” In Qin Xin Ascendant’s view, although Master Qianchen was powerful, the Cyan Heaven Sect was currently highly favored by the current Mansion Master.
In addition, their Master Celestial Fire was also a Tier Four High-grade Alchemist, so Master Qin Xin didn’t want to see the Celestial Sand Sect punished or implicated because of the Hegu Sect.
“If you are willing, Senior, please take Zilan away with you.” Qin Xin Ascendant knew that the rest of the Hegu Sect was likely doomed.
But as for Zilan, she still couldn’t put her mind at ease.
“Don’t worry. If a mere cultivator at the Early Stage of Golden Core can be a Supreme Elder there, then they are nothing to fear,” Ye Jing Hu said, waving his hands dismissively.
It wasn’t that he was being arrogant; it was just that a Golden Core Influence was truly having a hard time catching his attention anymore.
He wasn’t even very afraid of the newly arrived Mansion Master Lu. Although Mansion Master Xiao and Prince Wang might both be transferred away, it wasn’t because they had fallen or stepped down, but because they were breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
The difference in that was massive.
With the backing of two Nascent Soul cultivators in the Righteous Sect, the Ye Family might not be able to run amok unchecked, but at the very least, they no longer needed to keep a low profile in the Southern Wilderness Province.
Otherwise, not only would Liu Zhou State Governor and Mansion Master Wang Xiao look down on them, but the other four Nascent Soul Powers in the Southern Wilderness Province would also likely underestimate the Ye Family and the Celestial Sand Sect.
This would severely impact their plans to expand their reputation and influence.
That was why Ye Jing Hu didn’t have the slightest bit of apprehension, as long as he wasn’t branded with the name of the Righteous Sect.
Even if he killed Master Qingzhu, the repercussions wouldn’t be too significant.
It was only because the latter had run away fast enough; otherwise, Ye Jing Hu would have definitely checked his Storage Bag to see just how much profit he had scraped together during this time.
“This…” Qin Xin Ascendant and Elder Gu were both completely stunned by Ye Jing Hu’s words.
They thought it over carefully, deliberating back and forth, before finally mustering the courage to ask tentatively:
“Has Elder Qianchen broken through?”
“You will know of this matter in due time.” Ye Jing Hu neither explained nor denied it.
Prince Wang had gifted a Tier Five Spirit Gathering Array to the Celestial Sand Sect as early as six years ago.
They had already accepted it.
Those Nascent Soul Powers and the Mansion Masters had actually already guessed that Ye Jingcheng might have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
It was only the Golden Core Influences that were still out of the loop.
So, his words couldn’t even be considered leaking a secret.
“Congratulations to Elder Qianchen, and congratulations to you as well, Elder Lei. It’s just a pity that our Hegu Sect can no longer bring out any decent Treasures,” Qin Xin Ascendant congratulated repeatedly, her joy mingled with regret.
When a Cultivator broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, it was considered a monumental event even in the Central Domain, and the Nascent Soul ceremonies held were always exceptionally grand.
They had attended Prince Wang’s Nascent Soul ceremony, and the scene had truly been incredibly spectacular.
Many of the congratulatory gifts presented were things they wouldn’t have even dared to imagine.
“Don’t worry. We will handle things properly this time.” Ye Jing Hu didn’t want to speak any further on this matter.
Although it didn’t need to be kept a secret, the Cultivators of the Ye Family had all developed the habit of never letting information be easily coaxed out of them.
“Please drink some tea, Elder Lei. This is our Hegu Sect’s Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Tea, Pu Tuo Tea. Its fragrance is mellow, and it leaves a long, lingering aftertaste. Although it isn’t exceptionally refined, it has its own unique characteristics.
“Once you finish your Spirit Tea, our Hegu Sect also has a musical performance prepared. We will have Zilan play a tune on the zither for you.”
