"Who are you?"
At this moment, Lu Zhengfeng, Liao Mingkui, and a group of Qingyun Sect experts all rushed out, their gazes coldly fixed on Ye Luo as they shouted.
"Itās you!"
A man beside Liao Mingkui looked at Ye Luo, his pupils shrinking, showing a shocked expression. This person was Lei Ting, the disciple of Liao Mingkui who had been sent by the Qingyun Sect to deal with Ye Luo previously.
"Lei Ting, do you know him?"
Liao Mingkui turned his gaze toward Lei Ting and couldnāt help but ask.
"Master, heās the one who rescued Lin Tianhai," Lei Ting said directly.
Liao Mingkuiās gaze fixed on Ye Luo, a hint of surprise flashing through his eyes.
Ye Luo didnāt speak. With his Clairvoyant Eye activated, he quickly located Lin Tianhai and, seeing that there was no threat to his life, felt slightly relieved.
Moreover, he discovered that the Qingyun Sect didnāt have a single expert from the Controlling Qi Realm; the strongest was only at the Ninth Level of the Spirit Sea Realm, on the verge of breaking through to the Controlling Qi Realm, but had not yet broken through.
No wonder the Qingyun Sect was ranked last among the top forces. Had he known this earlier, he wouldnāt have needed to bring so many people; merely bringing an expert from the Controlling Qi Realm would have been enough to handle everything.
"Young man, our senior brother is asking you a question!"
A Qingyun Sect disciple, looking angrily at Ye Luo, shouted.
"You have no right to speak here!"
Ye Luo glanced coldly at the disciple.
"Youāre asking for death!"
This disciple of the Qingyun Sect, who had reached the Ninth Level of the Saint Realm, felt a surge of anger upon hearing Ye Luoās words. Holding a longsword, he charged at Ye Luo.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ye Luo waved his hand and lightly tapped twice. Two bursts of virtual finger force shot out, striking the manās legs. The latter let out a piercing scream.
Blood spurted from the knees of both legs as his body fell to the ground, holding his legs and wailing in pain.
Seeing this, everyone present changed their expression, a look of shock flashing across their eyes.
The expressions of both Lu Zhengfeng and Liao Mingkui turned grave.
"Young brother, may I know why you have broken into our Qingyun Sect today?" Lu Zhengfeng asked, his tone somewhat softer as he looked at Ye Luo.
"My purpose is simple, release Lin Tianhai to me," Ye Luo said sternly.
"No!"
Liao Mingkui immediately objected.
Lu Zhengfengās expression also turned ugly as he said, "Young brother, Lin Tianhai is a member of our Qingyun Sect and, due to violations of our rules, he is currently imprisoned. Without the order of my master, the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect, we really canāt release him."
"Then bring your master out to me!" Ye Luo said coldly.
"Is the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect someone you can meet whenever you wish?"
Just then, an elderly man with white hair and a cold expression walked out from within the Qingyun Sect. A formidable presence from the Fifth Level of the Spirit Sea Realm burst forth, his eyes sharp as ever. He was one of the Elders of the Qingyun Sect.
"You better bring your Sect Master out obediently, or today might just be the downfall of the Qingyun Sect."
Ye Luo looked over the man disdainfully, his face filled with arrogance and dominance.
"Young man, it seems you need a lesson. You donāt know the power of the Qingyun Sect,"
The Qingyun Sect Elderās expression darkened, and his eyes condensed with a fierce light as a powerful Soul Power surged toward Ye Luo, apparently aiming to attack him with Soul Power.
Seeing his opponent harness Soul Power for an attack, a cold smirk appeared on Ye Luoās lips.
Play soul attacks with me?
Iāll play you to death!
Ye Luo sneered inwardly, as a powerful surge of Soul Power erupted from his Spirit Sea, sweeping out with an overwhelmingly tyrannical force.
Boom!
The two Soul Powers collided invisibly in the air, unleashing a terrifying Soul Pressure.
Pu!
The next second, the Elder from Qingyun Sectās expression changed dramatically, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He staggered back several steps, his face turning deathly pale as he stared at Ye Luo with disbelief.
"How... how is this possible? You can perform soul attacks too?"
The Fifth Level Elder from the Spirit Sea Realm of Qingyun Sect was completely shocked. This man was merely at the Saint Realm, yet he could execute soul attacks, which was utterly unbelievable.
Moreover, his soul attack was even more formidable than his, striking his soul with a severe blow in one hit.
Today, Ye Luoās soul had absorbed the Soul Power from the Soul Stone and had long since surged tremendously. He was not afraid even when facing soul attacks from a Ninth Level expert of the Spirit Sea Realm, let alone the soul attack of this Fifth Level fellow.
At that moment, Lu Zhengfeng and others saw their Elder from Qingyun Sect suddenly vomiting blood and turning pale, and they were all shocked.
"Who exactly are you?"
The Fifth Level Elder from the Spirit Sea Realm of Qingyun Sect stared intently at Ye Luo and said gravely.
"I am who I am, you donāt need to know. Release Lin Tianhai immediately, or I will flatten Qingyun Sect!"
Ye Luo declared dominantly, his eyes shooting out a frightening brilliance, emanating a thick imperial aura, giving him an emperor-overlooking-the-world demeanor.
Hearing Ye Luoās words, Lu Zhengfeng and his companions all had extremely ugly expressions. They wanted to rush up and teach Ye Luo a lesson, but recalling the situation of the Qingyun Sect Elder just now, they dared not make a move.
"Please forgive us, young man, and do not be angry!"
A voice filled with a sense of the vicissitudes of life sounded. An elder dressed in a blue robe and with white long hair holding a whisk walked out slowly. It was Qingchengzi, the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, and also the only Ninth Level expert of the Spirit Sea Realm in Qingyun Sect.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
As Qingchengzi appeared, the people present began to speak.
Qingchengzi approached Ye Luo, his expression serene.
"You are the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect, Uncle Linās master?"
Ye Luo focused his gaze on Qingchengzi.
"Yes, I indeed am Tianhaiās master, and you are his friend, I presume."
Qingchengzi spoke calmly.
"Yes, Iāve come to take him away this time. Will you let him go or not!"
Ye Luo stated directly.
"Tianhai violated our sectās rules, and he should have been severely punished. However, it has been more than a decade now, and he has suffered enough. I cannot bear to be harsh to him anymore. If you want to take him away, I have no objections."
Qingchengzi stated.
Immediately, both Lu Zhengfeng and Liao Mingkuiās expressions changed, and they quickly spoke, "Master, this..."
"Enough, no need to argue. I have made my decision!"
Qingchengzi waved his hand, and both Lu Zhengfeng and Liao Mingkuiās eyes flickered, but they said no more.
Ye Luo glanced coldly at the two men, looking at Qingchengzi, "You are wise!"
Qingchengziās lips curled into a bitter smile, "Tianhai is lucky to have a friend like you."
Ye Luo didnāt say a word and walked straight toward the dungeon. The group from Qingyun Sect watched silently, yet no one spoke up.
