Chapter 203

Jiang Ye slowly stood up, feeling the killing intent in his brow center ancestor aperture, which was more than ten times more vigorous than before, flowing slowly, and a smile he couldn't suppress tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Last time, he had only absorbed a mere eighteen wisps of killing intent from that Divine Qi Realm demon, while this time, the killing intent absorbed from the black-robed Primordial Realm martial artist...

He made a rough calculation; it was about three hundred wisps.

Hundreds of wisps of killing intent circled and flowed in his brow center ancestor aperture, their color several times deeper than before, changing from the initial thin mist to a dark, deep light that was almost substantial.

Glancing at the system panel, Jiang Ye nodded in satisfaction.

After absorbing the killing intent of this black-robed man, his Seven Kill Scripture had finally broken through to Small Success, which was also the second layer of the realm recorded in the Seven Kill Scripture—Killing Intent Like a Tide!

From the first layer to the second layer, it seemed like only one step, but in reality, it was the threshold where the quantitative accumulation of killing intent reached a qualitative change.

Just like a trickling stream finally converging into a surging river, at this moment, the killing intent in his brow center ancestor aperture was no longer just thin threads that could be called individually, but a killing power that could surge out like a tide, covering the entire battlefield.

Jiang Ye swept a glance at the insects and birds that had fallen to the ground, a flash of understanding crossing his eyes.

With the killing intent he was releasing now, he could probably easily shock martial artists below the Embracing the Pill Realm, and if he increased the output of killing intent, it would even cause no small impact on Divine Qi Realm martial artists of the same realm.

If it were ordinary people who didn't practice martial arts, once shrouded by his killing intent, the outcome would probably be exactly the same as these birds that had fainted on the ground, losing consciousness before they even had time to struggle.

"It's about time to go back."

Jiang Ye looked up at the moonlight.

He withdrew his thoughts, raised his hand and slapped out, red-gold true divine qi surging from his palm, landing on the black-robed man's corpse covered in poisonous sores.

The flames instantly swallowed the corpse.

He bent down to pick up the pitch-black long blade, tapped his foot lightly, and his whole person soared into the air stepping on the night wind, flying toward the direction of Yunling Prefecture.

When Jiang Ye returned to Jiding Peak, Elder Zhong was nowhere to be seen.

On the ruins of the Profound Heaven Hall, several deacons were leading a group of disciples to clear the rubble in the night, their faces filled with both lingering fear and the trance of having survived a disaster.

Everything that happened tonight was like an absurd and bizarre nightmare to them.

If it weren't for the broken walls and ruins under their feet being so real, they would definitely have thought they were still in a dream.

"Does this old man trust me so much that I would definitely be able to finish off that Primordial Realm martial artist..."

Jiang Ye scanned a few times without finding Elder Zhong's figure and shook his head slightly.

He had originally thought about coming back to find that sharp-tongued old man to ask about the "Demon-Suppressing Bead" in a roundabout way.

Since he was no longer there, he could only temporarily suppress this thought.

He didn't disturb the deacons and disciples who were busy, took a step, and quietly disappeared into the night.

When Jiang Ye returned to Tianyangfeng, several familiar figures were standing at the entrance of the herb garden.

Wen Yuelao, Zheng Feng, Elder Wang, and Elder Li were lined up, standing under the moonlight; even from far away, one could see the worry on their faces that was so tight it was about to snap.

When Jiang Ye's steady footsteps sounded on the mountain path, everyone looked in the direction of the sound almost at the same time.

The next instant, the worry on everyone's faces turned into irrepressible joy.

"Elder Jiang!!!"

Especially Wen Yuelao, this little girl, who ran over excitedly; looking at that posture, she wished she could give Jiang Ye a big hug directly.

However, there were people around after all, so the young girl's reserve was forcibly restrained.

"Old Master Jiang!!! You and the Liu Fengzhu saved the Tianqing Sect!!!"

Wen Yuelao looked at Jiang Ye with burning eyes, her beautiful eyes full of admiring brilliance.

The deeds of Jiang Ye and Liu Qingyu joining forces to support the various peaks, as well as Luo Song burning his essence energy to shake the Primordial Realm martial artist, had already spread throughout the entire Tianqing Sect.

Especially against the backdrop of the tragedy at Jin Chen Peak, Tianyangfeng had only lost a dozen or so disciples.

It made the weight of Jiang Ye and Luo Song even heavier than a thousand jun.

Jiang Ye scanned the few people who were covered in injuries and full of fatigue, a flash of hidden relief crossing the bottom of his eyes.

"Where is Qin Lie..."

Jiang Ye was about to speak.

Zheng Feng, who was on the side, sighed with a solemn expression: "Qin Zhanglao is on the peak, accompanying the Liu Fengzhu..."

As soon as these words were spoken, an undisguised sorrow appeared on everyone's faces, and the joy from just a moment ago was suppressed by the heavy atmosphere.

Luo Song's heroic feat of burning his essence energy to shake the Seven Kill Sect's Primordial Realm martial artist could be said to have turned the tide and saved the building from collapsing.

At the most critical moment, he saved the Tianqing Sect from a desperate situation.

However, the price was...

He himself was hanging by a thread and might never wake up again.

Thinking of the scene where Luo Song burned his essence energy to fight fiercely with the Primordial Realm martial artist earlier, Jiang Ye couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He had lived for seventy years.

There were very few people who could make him truly admire them.

Liu Qingshi was one.

Now there was one more, Luo Song.

Jiang Ye thought of the scene where Qin Lie supported Luo Song earlier, tears falling from his eyes, and said softly:

"Qin Zhanglao and the Liu Fengzhu's relationship is indeed deep."

After this incident, this drunkard who only knew how to drink and lie flat all day would probably have no small changes.

Immediately, Jiang Ye scanned the fatigue on everyone's faces and said:

"Tianyangfeng was attacked tonight, you all contributed a lot, and you are still carrying injuries, so go back and rest first."

"Whatever it is, let's wait until tomorrow to talk about it."

The five of them had joined forces to fight the Divine Qi Realm demon, and each of them was injured, and afterward, they were busy settling disciples, counting the wounded, and patrolling the mountain paths, running around for an entire night.

They must be exhausted.

"Elder Jiang, then we will retire and rest first..."

"If you have any instructions, notify us at any time."

Elder Wang and Elder Li bowed to Jiang Ye with serious expressions.

Wen Yuelao and Zheng Feng also bowed and retired together.

Invisibly, they had already treated Jiang Ye as the true Liu Fengzhu.

After watching the figures of the few people go away.

Jiang Ye walked slowly into the herb garden, just in time to see three faces full of worry and nervousness.

It was none other than Chen Lili, Xu Qinghuan, and Lü Ming.

You must know that the fierce name of the Seven Kill Sect could stop children from crying at night in the Zhou Kingdom.

Even if they had confidence in Jiang Ye, thinking that Elder Jiang had to deal with such a fierce person, their hearts were still tight.

"Elder Jiang!!!"

The moment they saw Jiang Ye enter, the three people's bodies suddenly shook violently.

The worry on Xu Qinghuan's face instantly turned into a bright and moving joy.

She could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart, rushed forward in two or three steps, threw herself into Jiang Ye's arms, her slender arms tightly wrapping around his waist, her voice soft and hoarse: "Old Master Jiang! You're back!"

Once a line is crossed between a man and a woman, they will involuntarily make more intimate moves when their emotions are excited.

She completely acted on instinct and only remembered that there were still people around halfway through, but her body had already moved before her brain.

Seeing this scene, Lü Ming was directly stunned.

This little junior sister's courage was too big.

After Chen Lili was stunned for a moment, the corners of her eyes twitched violently, and her heart felt like a whole vat of aged vinegar had been overturned:

"Damn! What's the situation with this little girl, I was clearly the one who came first!!! How dare she!!!"

She gritted her teeth and also rushed up.

"Ah?!"

Lü Ming stood on the spot, at a loss.

At this moment, he felt he shouldn't be here.

But should be in the room.

After a good while.

Jiang Ye gently pushed the two away from his body, coughed lightly, and suppressed the redness and embarrassment that hadn't yet faded from his earlobes.

Immediately, he comforted the three with a few words, and using the excuse of being tired, hurriedly turned and walked toward the depths of the Tiankui Herb Garden.

Returning to the open space of the herb garden.

He sat cross-legged, took a deep breath of the cool night air, and banished the lingering touch of the warm fragrance and soft jade from his mind.

"Next, let's refine the wood-attribute true divine qi."

He closed his eyes, about to circulate the Green Wood Longevity Qi-Nurturing Method to draw the heaven and earth origin energy into his body.

Suddenly—

"Hm?!"

Jiang Ye frowned slightly, looking toward the entrance of the herb garden.

Under the moonlight, a slender figure was sneaking in.

It was none other than Xu Qinghuan.

Seeing that Jiang Ye had already discovered her, Xu Qinghuan didn't hide anymore.

She quickened her pace and trotted to his front, looked up at him pitifully, a layer of hazy wateriness seeping into those enchanting beautiful eyes, her voice so soft it could squeeze out honey:

"Old Master Jiang, the Seven Kill Sect attacked tonight... it scared me to death..."

"I didn't even dare to sleep..."

Jiang Ye said in a deep voice: "If you don't sleep, what do you want to do again!"

Xu Qinghuan bit her moist lips, a flush of color rising on her beautiful, fair face, and she hummed softly and stickily:

"I want to."
