Before long, several hundred spiritual beasts had already gathered behind Jie Tan.And their numbers were rapidly increasing.
Jie Tan clenched his right fist, suddenly striking his own chest.
"Boom!"
A dull sound that filled people with anxiety.
As a result, Jie Tan coughed up a mist of blood.
Strangely, this blood mist did not disperse on the ground. Instead, it flew towards the forehead of each spiritual beast.
Whenever a spiritual beast was touched by the blood mist, its body size began to swell dramatically, radiating a violent and ferocious aura.
Qingzhu, who had been thrown aside, could clearly sense the enhanced strength of these spiritual beasts.
All of them had advanced by a level.
Mind you, among these hundreds of spiritual beasts were several powerful Divine Transformation beings.
With such a raging tide of spiritual beasts, how could Ye Yu alone resist? Not to mention Princess Ye Nian was also present.
Qingzhu shouted sternly, "Escape! Run!"
Jie Tan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pointed his hand towards Ye Yu and Ye Nian.
Hundreds of spiritual beasts began to howl and rush forward.
Facing this situation, Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.
Was Jie Tan planning to exhaust his spiritual energy with these numerous spiritual beasts, so that he couldn't continue to use the True Qinglian Thunder Sword Art?
If that's the case, then so be it.
Ye Yu sheathed his sword, then clasped his hands together.
The next moment, a soul summoning banner about dozens of meters tall suddenly appeared.
Its black flag fluttered in the wind.
It was the top-grade spiritual artifact, Slaughter Immortal!
The moment it appeared, a cold and eerie aura swept through the entire scene.
Above the forest, dark clouds covered the sky, dimming the surroundings.
Following that, the cries of countless lost souls resounded, causing people to lose their composure.
The raging tide of spiritual beasts also paused momentarily.
With a thought, Ye Yu swiftly summoned hundreds of refined ghosts from the soul banner.
They howled as they dashed towards the spiritual beasts.
In the eyes of these ghosts, the flesh and blood of spiritual beasts were great nourishment. How could they possibly miss this opportunity?
Just at a glance, several dozen spiritual beasts tragically perished on the spot.
After consuming the flesh and blood of the spiritual beasts, the ghosts became more solid in form, continuing their charge towards the next target.
Meanwhile, Ye Yu was not idle either.
Using the Ten Thousand Souls Technique, he summoned the deceased Jie Chen and the souls of high level spiritual beast, gathering them all into the soul banner.
In just moments, all these souls were tainted by the resentment within the banner, transforming into vengeful ghosts and spirits joining the battlefield.
This eerie scene made Qingzhu's face turn extremely pale.
Ye Yu's actions completely overturned her understanding.
How could disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, one of the Five Great Sacred Lands, use techniques from the demon dao?
And within this soul banner, so many vengeful spirits were gathered. The overwhelming resentment filled the air.
Who exactly was this "Zhao Wuji" before her eyes?
Could he be an undercover agent of a demonic sect within the Azure Cloud Sect?
Even if so, why would he break the rules and intervene in the struggle for imperial power, to save Princess Ye Nian?
Various questions plagued her mind, leaving Qingzhu puzzled.
On the other side, Jie Tan also showed a shocked expression.
Such high-quality ghosts couldn't be refined in less than several hundred years.
Coupled with the extremely high-grade soul summoning banner, even if he summoned more spiritual beasts, it would be of no avail.
Possessing such treasures and superior techniques!
This kid must be a direct disciple of some big shot.
After pondering for a moment, Jie Tan prepared to turn and leave.
He wouldn't engage in a battle he wasn't sure of.
As for his grudge for killing Jie Chen, he could wait a bit longer.
Once his other two brothers arrived, it wouldn't be too late to kill this masked man!
With this thought in mind, Jie Tan moved to act immediately.
However, at that very moment, Ye Yu's figure suddenly appeared, blocking his path.
"I say, did I let you go?"
Jie Tan chuckled instead of showing anger, "Since you won't let me go, then I might as well let you die here!"
As cultivators from the Southern Barbarian Continent, besides beast control techniques, their body forging techniques were also superior.
Coupled with Jie Tan's naturally exceptional physique, once he closed in, even a Divine Transformation realm cultivator would find it hard to escape death.
And now, the distance between them was only a few meters.
This distance allowed Jie Tan to foresee the scene of Ye Yu's death.
Thus, he clenched his fist suddenly, a blue Dao mark glowing brightly on his body.
He lunged fiercely towards Ye Yu.
But the latter didn't dodge or evade.
Just as the enormous fist was about to strike Ye Yu, the Lichun Jade at his waist suddenly exerted force, blocking Jie Tan's fierce punch.
Ye Yu then raised his hand abruptly, making a motion as if grasping something in the void.
Jie Tan felt puzzled, but soon after, he felt a sharp pain spreading across his body.
Responding to Ye Yu's summon, the soul summoning banner suddenly flew over. This top grade spiritual artifact instantly pierced through Jie Tan's chest.
In an instant, blood gushed out.
The surrounding ghosts were immediately drawn to it. They began frenziedly devouring Jie Tan's flesh and blood.
Among them, standing at the forefront was none other than the vengeful soul of Jie Chen.
This was simply the ultimate irony.
Moments later, Jie Tan perished.
Both of the Two Evils from the Southern Four Evils were wiped out.
Ye Yu couldn't help but exhale slowly,
Having slain two Divine Transformation realm cultivators with his Nascent Soul realm cultivation.
Such an achievement….
Even he hadn't expected it.
Indeed, only with good equipment and superior techniques could one have the strength to confront higher-level opponents.
Afterward, Ye Yu retracted the soul banner, then gently lifted Ye Nian down from the tree trunk.
He asked softly, "Are you scared?"
"Not scared!"
Ye Nian's small hand tightly gripped Ye Yu's sleeve, her eyes filled with anticipation.
She asked again, "Can you take off your mask and let me see?"
Upon hearing this request, Ye Yu felt conflicted.
Though he currently preferred not to reveal his identity, looking at Ye Nian's innocent eyes, he truly didn't want to continue hiding anymore.
So he took off the mask from his face.
When Ye Nian saw Ye Yu's true face, she excitedly shouted, "Daddy, it's really you, Daddy!"
Qingzhu looked at this scene with disbelief on her face.
So, Ye Nian's biological father was Ye Yu.
That's why he intervened to save her?
"The feeling of a daughter recognizing her father, isn't it wonderful, Ye Yu?"
A familiar voice sounded.
Ye Yu turned his head.
He saw Li Ruowang had already arrived.
She was dressed in dragon robes, exuding an air of nobility.
But those eyes of hers, still held the same deep affection as before.
Ye Yu felt extremely flustered.
Just as he was about to speak, Li Ruowang took a step forward.
Using her spatial technique, she appeared in front of Ye Yu.
She opened her arms and embraced him, closing her eyes to savor this moment of happiness.
She whispered softly, "Come back to the palace with me."
Ye Yu's face changed drastically.
He shook his head frantically, "No, I'm not going back! Listen to me, it's actually not true at all."
"Can't you just consider it as if you had a dream?"
Li Ruowang seemed to ignore Ye Yu's refusal.
She raised her head and softly said, "We haven't eaten together as a family for a long time."
Hearing these words, Ye Yu stopped resisting.
