Ye Yun refused the Head Teacher's offer to become her disciple, insisting only the Emperor Ancestor would suffice. When challenged to activate ten sword lights, he succeeded, astonishing everyone. However, the Emperor Ancestor was away, and the Head Teacher was instructed to temporarily take Ye Yun as a disciple on her behalf.

"Junior Brother Ye, please come with me."

Xia Ziling gave Ye Yun a faint smile and slowly rose into the air.

"Alright."

Ye Yun nodded and followed Xia Ziling up into the sky.

Seeing this, Little Color and Yu Lingfei hurriedly followed after them.

"And these are?"

Xia Ziling turned back to glance at the two girls, asking in surprise.

Ye Yun laughed and said, "Sister Xia, these are my two maids."

"So that’s how it is..."

Xia Ziling pursed her lips in a smile, said nothing more, and led Ye Yun, flying through the void at an unhurried pace.

Ye Yun knew she was arranging a place for him to stay, so he didn’t ask too many questions.

On the plaza.

The many cultivators who had come to sign up all let out a collective breath, their faces showing expressions of sheer disbelief.

No one had expected such an earth?shaking event today—a peerless monster who could activate ten streaks of Sword Light on the Chaotic Sword Stone had actually appeared right here on this plaza.

Lv Song in particular felt a terror in his heart that could no longer be described with mere raging waves.

This kind of horror was truly world?ending.

"Fellow Daoist Ye is really too terrifying, hid too deep. So his Sword Dao Talent has actually reached such a frightening level..."

Lv Song muttered inwardly.

The next second.

A smile uglier than a cry appeared on Lv Song’s face as he thought to himself, "No, I should be addressing him as ’Martial Uncle.’ After all, he’s now of the same generation as the Head Teacher, on equal footing..."

...

"Junior Brother Ye, since the Emperor Ancestor has taken you as a disciple, we can’t teach you the Slaughter Sword Technique. Within this month, if you wish to study it, you can go to the Scripture Hall. There you’ll find the upper half of the Slaughter Sword Technique for you to learn..."

While flying, through the drifting mist, Xia Ziling smiled and pointed in a certain direction with her slender jade hand.

Below the mist.

In a valley stood a black palace, nine stories high, with a plaque hanging above it bearing three large characters: Scripture Hall.

"Alright, I understand."

Ye Yun nodded slightly.

Ever since he had activated ten streaks of Sword Light, this Sister Xia felt far better to him than before.

Though her exterior was a bit cold, in her bones she was quite warm?hearted.

They flew for a while longer.

Ye Yun suddenly asked with a smile, "Sister Xia, do you have a Dao Companion?"

Dao Companion?

Hearing Ye Yun ask this, Xia Ziling’s body staggered, and she almost fell.

This kind of question—only this little junior brother of hers would dare ask it.

If it were anyone else, she’d probably have already taken action.

Xia Ziling said earnestly, "Little Junior Brother, our Slaughter Emperor Gate mainly cultivates the heart of slaughter, so no one seeks a Dao Companion. Even if they do find one, in the end they still have to kill the other party, to erase flaws in their heart..."

"So that’s how it is."

Ye Yun blinked with deep meaning.

The Empress of Slaughter had once expressed her fondness for him back on Cangnan Continent—could it be that in the future she also plans to kill him?

That was entirely possible.

That woman had comprehended Sword Eleven on Cangnan Continent; perhaps by cutting him down she could then comprehend Sword Twelve, Sword Thirteen...

Thinking of this.

Goosebumps rose all over Ye Yun’s body.

Kill the husband—

He really had never encountered something so terrifying before.

"Junior Brother Ye, if you wish to seek a Dao Companion, the Emperor Ancestor would absolutely not stop you, because she knows that once the Slaughter Sword Technique is cultivated to a certain level, you will inevitably kill your Dao Companion..."

Xia Ziling smiled faintly.

"Alright then, good thing I don’t have such a thought..."

Ye Yun laughed loudly.

Xia Ziling gave a little laugh, then descended.

Pointing to a large palace below, Xia Ziling said, "Little Junior Brother, this palace will be yours for daily rest and cultivation..."

"Sister Xia, do you have some sort of small courtyard? This palace is really too big, I don’t much like it..."

Ye Yun shook his head.

There were only three people on his side; they had absolutely no need for such a large palace. Ye Yun preferred those quiet little courtyards.

He would stay in the Slaughter Emperor Gate for at most about a month before leaving.

So having a palace was of little use.

"Hehe, I didn’t expect you to be a peculiar one too, Junior Brother Ye. You’re actually a bit similar to that senior sister of yours..."

Xia Ziling suddenly chuckled.

Ye Yun blinked, his curiosity stirred toward that senior sister he had yet to meet. He asked with a smile, "This senior sister of mine has never shown up. Could it be she’s not in the Slaughter Emperor Gate?"

Xia Ziling said, "She’s a Sword Infatuation. Apart from cultivation, it’s still just cultivation. She usually cultivates in a cave and almost never goes out..."

"I see."

Ye Yun nodded thoughtfully.

"Your senior sister is on Qixia Mountain. Not far from that mountain there’s a separate courtyard—how about I arrange you there?"

Xia Ziling said with a smile.

"That would be excellent. This way I’ll even have a chance to pay my respects to this senior sister..."

Ye Yun said with a laugh.

"That’s fine too."

Xia Ziling hesitated slightly, but still agreed.

They flew for a while longer.

The group of four finally passed over Qixia Mountain and descended into a separate courtyard.

Xia Ziling gave Ye Yun a Storage Ring. Inside were an Identity Token, the unique Robe of the Slaughter Emperor Gate, as well as a map of the entire Slaughter Emperor Gate’s terrain and some cultivation resources.

"Junior Brother Ye, that senior sister of yours was originally wooden in temperament. Tens of thousands of years ago, for reasons unknown, she suddenly became mute. If you wish to visit her, you’d better be mentally prepared..."

Pointing in a certain direction, Xia Ziling earnestly exhorted him.

Mute Senior Sister?

Ye Yun was slightly stunned, feeling somewhat puzzled.

In this world, how could someone who had already achieved in cultivation possibly become mute?

As if seeing the confusion in Ye Yun’s heart, Xia Ziling explained, "People have the six roots of eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. That senior sister of yours sealed her ear root and tongue root, so she cannot speak, and cannot hear others speak..."

"Why would she do that?"

Ye Yun asked, baffled.

Xia Ziling hesitated, then said ambiguously, "Perhaps it’s for cultivation..."

"Alright then."

Ye Yun gave a wry smile.

After a few more words of advice, Xia Ziling left.

Ye Yun gazed toward a certain direction in the void, lost in thought.

Within the mist over there was the cave where the Mute Senior Sister cultivated.

He still found it hard to imagine why a perfectly fine young woman would seal her own ear root and tongue root. Was it really for cultivation?

"My lord, this senior sister of yours really is a freak..."

Behind him, Yu Lingfei said with a bitter smile.

"She is indeed a freak. Sister Xia didn’t even mention her name, clearly she has quite some opinions about this person..."

Ye Yun mused.

Little Color pursed her lips in a smile. "My lord, shall we go take a look?"

"Since we’re here, we might as well."

Ye Yun agreed without the slightest hesitation.

The next moment, the three of them rose into the air, flying toward that Qixia Mountain shrouded in mist.

In just a few breaths.

Ye Yun saw, amid the lush ancient trees, an old cave dwelling half?hidden among them.

On the cave dwelling were carved two extremely ancient characters.

"Do Not Disturb."

Seeing these two words, Ye Yun couldn’t help but show a wry smile.

Did the two words on this cave mean they weren’t allowed to disturb her?
