Chapter 58: The Opportunity-Rich Ye Lingyun

In a canyon.

Over a hundred figures were divided into three positions.

"Liu Qing'er, we agreed to join forces to surround and kill the people from the Hehuan Sect, yet your Wan Jian Sect is putting in no effort."

At the very front of the Zhengyang Sect's side, Su Su clenched her fists, which were as large as sand pots, her delicate face flushed with anger as she glared at a young woman.

The woman wore a green dress, her posture upright.

Her hair, long to her waist, hung loose, resembling a peerless precious sword with its sharpness restrained.

Hearing Su Su's angry rebuke, she merely glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.

Beside her, a young man snorted, "You have the nerve to say we're putting in no effort?"

"Our targets included several disciples in the top ten, including Bai Xiruo, the number one in the Hehuan Sect's Outer Sect."

"Even so, we still slaughtered over a dozen of their people, including two geniuses from the top ten."

"And what about you?"

"You only killed a few insignificant characters; you didn't manage to kill a single one from the top ten."

"I think it's your Zhengyang Sect that's putting in no effort!"

The young man's words were like the man himself, sharp and exposed.

He was none other than the second-ranked disciple of the Wan Jian Sect's Outer Sect, Jian Jiu.

Su Su's expression faltered upon hearing this, and she said with an ugly look, "I encountered an accident on my side, otherwise I would have already slaughtered that Mu Lingxi."

An accident?

Liu Qing'er, who had been silent all along, stirred, a flash of interest appearing on her face.

Aside from her, Lin Xian'er, and Bai Xiruo, who else among the disciples who entered the Secret Realm could make Su Su suffer a setback?

She raised her eyes to look at Su Su, "What accident?"

"An old guy," Su Su said with a gloomy face.

Liu Qing'er was startled, subconsciously thinking of the old man in the Hehuan Sect's team before entering the Secret Realm.

Those qualified to enter the Cold Pool Secret Realm were almost all elites from the Outer Sects of their respective sects.

An old guy whose lifespan was nearing its end was quite memorable.

Immediately after, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

That old guy was only at the Qi Refining stage, and with his lifespan nearly exhausted and his potential spent, even if he had incredible luck and successfully reached Foundation Establishment, he likely wouldn't have the ability to make Su Su, who was already at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, suffer a setback, right?

"That old guy somehow obtained a strange bird somewhere, and its strength is above mine."

Although it was somewhat embarrassing, Su Su still said it with a sullen face.

Having said this, her gaze shifted to the Xuanqing Palace side, "Fairy Lin surely knows more about this than I do."

Lin Xian'er's face darkened upon hearing this.

Out of consideration for maintaining her own image, she had not mentioned suffering a major loss at the hands of Wang Jianqiang after meeting up with the Xuanqing Palace disciples.

She had only said she had formed a feud with the people from the Hehuan Sect.

Su Su's act of exposing her made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

She was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "That old guy's bird is indeed very strong; I am no match for it."

"The reason I wanted to join forces with you is precisely because I formed a feud with this old guy."

"Moreover, that old guy's temperament is extremely despicable; if you encounter him later, you must be careful."

Hearing Lin Xian'er's words, Liu Qing'er felt even more curious.

A flash of intense fighting spirit crossed her eyes.

This canyon was the location of the Secret Realm's exit; if the people from the Hehuan Sect wanted to leave, they would definitely have to come here.

A great battle was inevitable.

She was somewhat impatient to see the old guy the two spoke of, and even more so to see just how strong his bird was.

Being able to make both Lin Xian'er and Su Su suffer setbacks in succession, his strength should be quite good.

Just as the three sects were blocking the gate in the canyon, over thirty disciples of the Hehuan Sect were gathering on a large mountain nearby.

Ye Lingyun, Su Yutong, and Bai Xiruo were all among them.

In front of the group, an oval Copper Mirror was floating in mid-air.

The surface of the mirror was playing a scene.

It was exactly the situation inside the canyon.

Although the Copper Mirror could not play sound, the group guessed some of the situation through the images.

For example, the attitude of the Xuanqing Palace.

"The Xuanqing Palace has actually joined forces with the Wan Jian Sect and the Zhengyang Sect!"

"Fortunately, we have this Spirit Tool from Senior Brother Ye; otherwise, if we had bumped straight into them, we would likely have been in grave danger."

Sounds of lingering fear emerged from the crowd.

At the very front of the crowd, Bai Xiruo looked at Ye Lingyun and smiled elegantly, "Junior Brother Ye can be considered to have helped us avoid a Tribulation."

Ye Lingyun smiled, "Senior Sister Bai, you overstate it; I only obtained this item by chance."

A flash of brilliance crossed Bai Xiruo's eyes, "Junior Brother Ye being able to obtain an opportunity after calmly retreating from a strong enemy's pursuit, and having your strength break through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage while obtaining this Spirit Tool, shows you have deep fortune."

"In the future, you will surely achieve great things."

"Senior Sister, you overpraise me."

Ye Lingyun looked at Bai Xiruo's beautiful face, his surface remaining steady.

But deep in his eyes, a flash of arrogance appeared, along with a wisp of fiery, evil desire.

To the side, Su Yutong frowned as she looked at Bai Xiruo.

She interrupted their conversation without a trace, "What should we do? Are we just going to keep waiting here?"

Hearing these words, the gazes of the others also gathered over.

Bai Xiruo looked at Ye Lingyun.

The meaning was self-evident: she wanted him to make the decision.

Ye Lingyun's strength had already reached the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, and with a Spirit Tool in hand, he could be called the strongest member of the current Hehuan Sect team.

Seeing Bai Xiruo's action, he did not decline modestly, smiled, and said, "Keep waiting. Wait for the exit to open, then find an opportunity to break through the blockade."

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the time for the Secret Realm to open arrived.

Above the canyon.

A large expanse of space suddenly rippled like water, then the space shattered, transforming into a massive black hole about thirty zhang long.

"The exit has appeared."

The expressions of the people from the Three Great Factions all stirred.

However, not a single person left, and an aura of killing intent began to permeate the area.

"Still not coming?"

"The Secret Realm entrance is only open for two hours; I want to see just how long you can hide."

Su Su scanned her surroundings, a cold sneer appearing on her face.

Lin Xian'er's expression was icy, her Spirit Sense already spread out, secretly searching for a certain person.

Compared to the two, Liu Qing'er was much more indifferent.

With her arms crossed over her chest and her figure standing straight, she waited silently.

"What should we do?"

"Are we going out or not?"

On the iceberg, Su Yutong looked at Ye Lingyun.

The gazes of the others also turned toward him.

Ye Lingyun stared intently into the canyon, and after a moment, he shouted in a low voice.

"Charge out!"

After his voice fell, everyone immediately charged toward the exit in the canyon.

"They're here!"

Liu Qing'er's slightly closed eyes snapped open, and an astonishing sharpness soared into the sky from her body.

"Kill!"

Su Su let out a cold sneer and led the people of the Zhengyang Sect to meet them first.

Lin Xian'er and Liu Qing'er followed closely behind.

A great battle erupted instantly.

Ye Lingyun fought against Su Su and Lin Xian'er single-handedly.

A Copper Mirror hovered above his head.

Beams of light shot out from the Copper Mirror; even with Su Su and Lin Xian'er joining forces, they were unable to gain the upper hand.

At the same time.

Wang Jianqiang was standing on another snow-capped mountain watching the battle in the canyon, rubbing his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.

He was thinking about how to find an opportunity to trick Ye Lingyun to his death.
