"Shut up!"

She had barely finished speaking when the sect leader beside her gave her a stern shout.

However, before Elder Xu could react, the newcomer let out a cold snort.

"What a noisy fellow!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Elder Xu, a dignified cultivator at the third level of the Transcendent Realm, was blasted away by an invisible force.

Elder Xu was slammed heavily against a nearby stone wall, almost embedding himself in it.

At the same time, a surge of profound energy suddenly enveloped the entire underground space.

Of all the Jade Maiden Sect cultivators, only the sect leader was still able to stand; almost everyone else fell to their knees with a thud!

Even the standing Jade Maiden Sect Master turned pale instantly upon seeing the other party and bowed.

"Senior Xiao..."

As a sect under the empire, the Jade Maiden Sect naturally had contact with many high-ranking cultivators of the empire.

In addition, since the Jade Maiden Sect is entirely composed of female cultivators, they need to provide them with certain protection.

Her immediate superior was appointed as the eldest princess, Canglan.

Therefore, the Jade Maiden Sect Master naturally recognized the Imperial Dao Realm expert standing next to Azure Sky!

Xiao Qingrou ignored her and turned to Ye Yun, who was standing to the side, and asked respectfully.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, am I not too late?"

She rushed over as soon as she received the message talisman.

I didn't expect to see a fight breaking out here on my way here, so I felt like I was a little late.

Ye Yun waved his hand and smiled faintly.

"Not too early, not too late, just the right time!"

After speaking, he glanced at the group of Jade Maiden Sect cultivators nearby.

"The rest are yours, no problem, right?"

Now that Xiao Qingrou has arrived, he really doesn't want to take action himself anymore.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingrou nodded slightly and smiled gently.

"Of course, that's my job here."

With her words, Ye Yun felt relieved.

Although we are outnumbered, our opponent is a powerful expert at the Imperial Realm.

If you can't even handle this situation, you might as well wash up, go to bed, and go home for some porridge...

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you."

Ye Yun shrugged and walked away.

Because of Xiao Qingrou's imposing aura, the Jade Maiden Sect cultivators could only watch helplessly as he left the encirclement.

After he walked out, Xiao Qingrou's expression turned cold, and she turned to look at the Jade Maiden Sect Master beside her.

"Since you still recognize me, it seems I don't need to waste any more words, do I?"

She looked around and saw a scene even more bloody than the underground of Fengbo City.

If capturing them alive weren't more useful, she would have already killed all the Jade Maiden Sect cultivators here.

But precisely because of this, Xiao Qingrou's anger was at an unprecedented level.

"Your Jade Maiden Sect, which receives imperial favor, secretly colludes with the Ascension Sect to commit such brutal acts; you truly seek death!"

Sensing the murderous aura emanating from her, the Jade Maiden Sect Master was still trying to argue.

"Senior Xiao, please let me explain! This was not something I did willingly!"

"It's all those guys from the Ascension Cult. They forced me to do this. I really had no choice..."

However, given Xiao Qingrou's status and strength, how could she not tell whether she was forced or acting voluntarily?

She gave a soft snort and said coldly.

"So you're saying you're being forced? Well then, you'd better obediently submit to being bound."

"I'll take you to Her Highness later and explain things to her properly!"

These words made the Jade Maiden Sect Master's face turn slightly pale.

Clearly, she still harbored some fear of Azure.

"Well... okay, I..."

The Jade Maiden Sect Master nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing.

But in the next instant, a blood mist suddenly erupted from her body, and she vanished completely.

Strands of blood-red light shot out from all directions, clearly indicating some powerful life-saving escape technique.

Clearly, she had something to hide. Knowing that she would surely die if she saw Cang Lan, she decided to fight to the death for a chance to survive!

"Hmph, a mere trick!"

Xiao Qingrou was not in a hurry in the face of her escape technique, and just snorted softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she flicked her finger, and a beam of azure light shot into the sky.

The Jade Maiden Sect was quiet under the cover of night.

Suddenly, hundreds and thousands of streaks of blood-red light shot out from the ground and flew out in all directions.

Then a beam of cyan light shot into the sky, unfolding a cyan light curtain that covered an area of ​​several miles in radius.

This caused the Jade Maiden Sect cultivators who were resting to come out of their rooms and look at the pillar of light in astonishment!

"What...what happened?"

"I don't know, it looks like it's heading towards the forbidden area."

"Could it be that the enemy has attacked?"

"..."

Many disciples from the sect gathered outside, discussing the matter with puzzlement.

At this moment, they had no idea just how big a mess their sect had gotten into.

At the same time, the blood-red light that tried to escape was blocked by the rising cyan light curtain.

"Damn it..."

The scattered blood-red light transformed into the figure of the Jade Maiden Sect Master, attempting to forcibly shatter the cyan light barrier.

However, even when she struck it with all her might, it was like a raindrop falling into a lake, creating only ripples.

At the same time, a cold shout came from the ground.

"Get down here now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, streaks of azure light shot out like shooting stars flying in reverse.

They burst through the ground from underground, quickly wrapped around her, and then violently pulled her down from the sky.

With a loud bang, she was dragged heavily from the sky to the ground and slammed back into the underground space.

However, the underground space now has its dome completely lifted up, making it look like a huge pit that has sunk into the ground.

"Still trying to escape? You're really persistent."

Xiao Qingrou, surrounded by azure light, glanced at the Jade Maiden Sect Master who was pinned to the ground and snorted coldly.

Now that things had come to this, the Jade Maiden Sect Leader stopped pretending and shouted angrily at them.

"Even if you kill me, someone will avenge our sect!"

"Our lord will not let you get away with this!!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingrou gave a cold laugh.

"Very well, I'll be waiting for her revenge!"

After that, she didn't bother to waste words with the other party and directly took out a magic weapon to trap the enemy and suppressed it inside!

At the same time, Xiao Qingrou glanced at the remaining Jade Maiden Sect cultivators and said coldly.

"If any of you still believe you can escape from me, feel free to try!"

"If you cooperate, it will at least save you some face."

"If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Her tone was icy, carrying a strong threat, causing the Jade Maiden Sect cultivators to exchange bewildered glances.

"We...we surrender."

Among those present, the highest level of cultivation was only at the Transcendent Realm.

Compared to Xiao Qingrou, who is at the Imperial Dao Realm, they are at best large ants.

If they don't know their place, their fate might be even worse than Elder Xu's!

Seeing this, Xiao Qingrou nodded slightly.

"You're smart enough to seal your cultivation and tie each other up."

Upon hearing this, all the women did as instructed.

With Xiao Qingrou watching right beside them, none of them dared to have any ulterior motives.

At the same time, Ye Yun walked over to Han Yu, who was nearby, and asked her with concern.

"How are you feeling?"

Han Yu was completely stunned by what she was seeing.

What's happening here is completely beyond her comprehension.

Whether it was Ye Yun's performance earlier, or the arrival of Xiao Qingrou, a powerful expert in the Imperial Dao Realm, later on.

For someone who was only at the Qi Condensation Realm, it was all too unreal.

Faced with Ye Yun's concern, she only instinctively replied with a single sentence.

"I...I'm fine."

Having said that, Ye Yun still investigated it for him.

"Fortunately, it's just a minor damage to his consciousness."

Although she underwent a soul search, it was perhaps to keep her conscious while she was tortured.

Elder Xu was not too cruel, directly destroying his divine sense, so there was no significant physical damage.

Ye Yun thought for a moment, then took out a pill and handed it to Han Yu, saying...

"Eat it."

Looking at the pills in front of me, which exuded a rich fragrance and were obviously of extremely high quality.

Han Yu was dumbfounded and shook his head.

"This, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."

In her opinion, these pills were probably enough to buy her life.

However, Ye Yun's attitude was forceful.

"Just eat what I tell you to eat. Do you expect me to feed you?"

Han Yu, who had been reprimanded, trembled slightly.

Seeing the other person's serious expression, she had no choice but to carefully take it.

"Thank you, senior."

"Alright, let's eat first and then talk about it."

Urged by Ye Yun, she swallowed the pill in her hand in one gulp.

Given the current situation, she is not worried that the other party will harm her.

As soon as the pill was swallowed, a warm current quickly enveloped his body, and even his headache was quickly relieved.

At this moment, she was much more conscious.

"Are you feeling better?"

Ye Yun asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Han Yu nodded.

"Hmm... much better."

Then, she looked at Ye Yun and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Junior brother... no, senior, who exactly are you?"

Han Yu reacted quickly and immediately changed her tune.

"That's a bit complicated to explain, I'll talk about it later."

Ye Yun shook his head, then gazed at her and asked.

"Now, I have a question for you to answer truthfully."

Han Yu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

"Please speak, senior."

"When she asked that question just now, didn't you ever consider betraying me?"

This was the thing that Ye Yun was most curious about until now.

In fact, if Han Yu had any sense at this time, he should have taken the opportunity to say some nice things.

However, thinking of Ye Yun's instructions earlier, she couldn't help but purse her lips.

"Actually, I did think about it at the time."

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked with interest.

"Oh? Then why wasn't it revealed in the end?"

"It's nothing... I just felt that since I was going to be killed anyway, there was no need to drag someone else down with me."

"So later, when you knew you were going to be tortured, did you regret it?"

"..."

Han Yu paused for a moment, then lowered her head and softly responded.

"Um……"

Ye Yun was quite surprised by her answer, but also quite satisfied.

For no other reason than that he likes honest people.

In that situation, Han Yu's ability to avoid dragging others down with him already puts him ahead of the vast majority of people.

It's normal to feel regret. Anyone would feel regret if they were punished because of someone else.

It can be said that Han Yu is just an ordinary, kind-hearted female cultivator who likes to date younger men.

"Alright, you don't need to feel embarrassed or anything. Just get some rest."

Ye Yun waved his hand and gave him instructions.

Upon hearing this, Han Yu nodded.

"Um... thank you, senior."

She definitely needs some time to process what has happened.

After that, Ye Yun got up and walked forward.

Xiao Qingrou has already resolved the trouble here; all the Jade Maiden Sect cultivators in the underground space have been brought under control.

After finishing, Xiao Qingrou turned to look at Ye Yun, her gloomy expression softening slightly.

She stepped forward and bowed to Ye Yun.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, thank you so much for this."

Ye Yun shrugged, dismissively saying.

"It was nothing, after all, I didn't lift a finger."

"This is different."

Xiao Qingrou shook her head, glancing at the hellish scene around her, and took a deep breath.

"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Nangong infiltrating this place and spreading the news, the truth here probably wouldn't have been revealed for a very long time!"

Although the Jade Maiden Sect itself doesn't have many top-tier experts.

However, this underground space was clearly designed by a master, with multiple extremely powerful concealment formations set up.

If she hadn't found this place directly, even with her divine sense, she would have had difficulty detecting the anomaly below.

Therefore, the other side undoubtedly deserves the greatest credit for this operation...

"Alright, alright, then I'll accept this credit."

Ye Yun smiled faintly, then his gaze fell on the surrounding cages.

Now that this place has been destroyed, it is only natural that those who were arrested should be released.

Therefore, he said something to Xiao Qingrou.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Xiao, why don't we release these people who have been captured first?"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the surrounding cages lit up, and their hopes were rekindled.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingrou glanced at it and nodded.

"No problem, Fellow Daoist Nangong, please release the person first. I have something important to do."

Ye Yun was taken aback for a moment, then asked curiously.

"Oh? What's so important?"

Xiao Qingrou glanced outside and took a deep breath.

"With such a commotion here, the entire Jade Maiden Sect must have been alerted. I need to control the situation."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun immediately understood her meaning and nodded.

"Understood, Fellow Daoist Xiao, go ahead."

"Then I'll leave this to Fellow Daoist Nangong for now."

Xiao Qingrou cupped her hands in greeting, and then her figure soared into the sky, standing above the Jade Maiden Sect.

At this moment, she looked down from here as if she were a celestial being descending.

Then Xiao Qingrou slowly stretched out her hand, and a delicate little pagoda appeared in her palm.

"Azure Nether Tower, suppress!"

With a soft shout, Xiao Qingrou summoned the exquisite little pagoda in her hand.

It shot into the sky with a whoosh, emitting a blue light.

As far as the eye could see, the Azure Nether Tower transformed into a gigantic azure phantom, enveloping the entire Jade Maiden Sect.

The Jade Maiden Sect cultivators, who had already been awakened, were stunned to see the entire sect enveloped by a tower.

"What, what's wrong now?!"

"I don't know, could it be the sect leader?"

"Impossible, even the Sect Master doesn't possess such a powerful aura, does he?"

"Could it be that our Jade Maiden Sect has offended some kind of enemy?"

"..."

Everyone looked up and could vaguely see a graceful blue figure in the sky, looking down like a deity.

Many people were completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.

Until a clear, cold, and dignified female voice resounded throughout the entire Jade Maiden Sect.

"All members of the Jade Maiden Sect, assemble immediately at the sect's plaza! Those who fail to do so will bear the consequences!"

Although no one recognized her voice, they could still feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the sky!

The person who spoke was undoubtedly at least at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and much stronger than their sect leader!

Therefore, although they were all confused and even panicked, they still started moving and gathered in the square...

Meanwhile, Xiao Qingrou in the sky coldly watched the actions of the cultivators below.

The reason I didn't tell the truth was mainly to be on the safe side.

According to Fellow Daoist Nangong, the Jade Maiden Sect's higher-ups were secretly colluding with the Ascension Sect, while most of the lower-level disciples were unaware of this.

Aside from the Jade Maiden Sect cultivators who were just captured, there must be others who haven't been caught yet.

If the truth is revealed directly, it is possible that those guys will fight to the death, committing suicide or indiscriminately killing innocent disciples.

But as long as they are gathered together, with her strength, she can easily control the situation!

……

Ye Yun glanced at Xiao Qingrou, who was manifesting above, and the Azure Nether Tower that sealed off the entire sect, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"As expected of a Dao-Controlling Realm expert, their methods are truly terrifying..."

The small tower in his hand was definitely of a grade above the Heavenly Rank.

Once this blockade is lifted, even a Dao Establishment Realm expert will likely have no chance of escaping.

I used to hear that once you reach the Imperial Dao level, you can easily destroy a sect or a city all by yourself.

He was a little skeptical at the time, but now it seems he was being a bit conservative.

If Xiao Qingrou wanted to, she could probably wipe out the entire Jade Maiden Sect in just a few moves!

"Forget it, let's just ignore her."

Ye Yun shook his head and stopped paying attention to the situation outside.

In any case, with Xiao Qingrou's strength, dealing with the remaining Jade Maiden Sect cultivators would be a piece of cake.

After that, he went to the cages and addressed the people inside.

"Gentlemen, I have come here on the orders of Princess Canglan to eliminate evil cultivators."

"I will release you now, but please keep order and do not run around."

"Otherwise... don't blame me for being impolite!"

He first invoked the title of the eldest princess to gain everyone's trust.

The warning that follows is to prevent these guys from running around if they are suddenly released after being locked up for a long time.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the prison nodded in agreement.

"We won't run away!"

After all, they had just witnessed Ye Yun kill two elders of the Jade Maiden Sect.

Therefore, they all knew very well that this was a ruthless killer...

After that, Ye Yun walked around and crushed the locks on the cells.

In a short time, all of the nearly one hundred people who had been imprisoned were released.

However, some people were too tired to stand up and could only sit down nearby.

However, some of them were particularly energetic and harbored deep hatred for those who arrested them.

After coming out, he rushed to the Jade Maiden Sect cultivators who were tied up, intending to teach them a lesson.

Of course, there were also a few whose eyes were full of greed, seemingly wanting to take advantage of the situation to do something.

"All of you, stop right there!"

Ye Yun glanced at the group and said coldly.

"These people are still useful to His Highness, so you have no right to touch them."

Upon hearing this, one of them gritted his teeth and said.

"But... are we just going to let them go like this?"

Don't worry.

Ye Yun glanced at him and said coldly.

"I guarantee that they will receive the punishment they deserve."

His words calmed the crowd down.

"Oh well……"

The group took a deep breath and obediently walked away.

Ye Yun shook his head as he considered what to do next.

Suddenly, a melodious female voice, like that of a lark, came from the side.

"Thank you so much for saving me, senior."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a pretty young girl in a green dress, who was bowing to him.

Then, she looked up and gave Ye Yun a pretty smile.

"May I ask your name? I'd like to have a chance to repay your kindness in the future."

Ye Yun was quite surprised that she showed no fear in the face of this unknown "high-level" expert.

Judging from her demeanor and speech, this young girl must have an extraordinary background.

Ye Yun looked it over and said with great interest.

"My surname is Nangong, and you are...?"
