Chapter 359

Yun Roumu forced a bitter smile.

Ye Jiunian’s story left her confused.

What Taoist child? What suffering?

But not understanding it was fine.

What truly upset her was Ye Jiunian's treatment of the Dreamweaver—his actions were simply unforgivable.

She truly felt heartache for Senior Dreamweaver.

Yun Roumu gripped her sword tightly.

She silently swore to slay Ye Jiunian and comfort the spirit of Dreamweaver in the afterlife.

Just as she was preparing to take action.

Ye Yu suddenly stepped forward.

He made a strange gesture with one hand.

And spoke slowly, each word cutting through the air: “Ascendant, die!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiunian’s expression changed dramatically.

He quickly asked, “Who are you? What is your relationship with that Taoist child? Speak!”

“I once encountered a Taoist child in the Western Borderland.”

“He had cultivation above the peak of the Ascension Realm.”

“He came only to exterminate cultivators who reached the Ascension Realm.”

“But in the North Desolate Continent and the Southern Barbarian Continent, I never saw his presence. Do you know why?”

Ye Yu voiced the confusion that had been bothering him for a long time.

Ever since his encounter with that Taoist child in the Western Borderland.

Ye Yu had been thinking.

Was this Taoist child specifically targeting Ascension Realm cultivators?

That would explain why the Ascension Realm was regarded as a legend in the entire cultivation world.

But what was his purpose in doing this?

Was he acting alone?

Or were there other Taoist children on each continent doing the same?

After many dreams, Ye Yu came to the conclusion that it seemed only the Western Borderland had Taoist children.

As for other continents.

Neither Ye Yu nor any of his wives who reached the Ascension Realm had anyone come after them.

But Ye Jiunian’s words.

Proved that the mysterious Taoist child also existed on the Central Continent.

At least, he existed more than 20,000 years ago.

As for now, that was unclear!

Ye Jiunian slightly shook his head.

Over 20,000 years ago, he was gravely injured and met that mysterious Taoist child.

He was no match for him.

After feigning death, he barely managed to retain his soul.

Afterward, while there were other Ascension Realm cultivators in the Forbidden Yin River Ye family.

None of them ever encountered that mysterious Taoist child.

This matter greatly puzzled Ye Jiunian.

Now, suddenly, someone else who had also met the mysterious Taoist child appeared.

He was really excited.

He wanted to sit down and ask him everything.

But Ye Jiunian hesitated.

All egoists have a paranoid streak.

He didn’t even trust anyone's words.

Let alone Ye Yu, an enemy.

So, communication was out of the question.

After killing him, he would use soul searching to get the answers.

That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about hearing lies.

With this thought in mind.

Ye Jiunian revealed a sinister smile.

“Kid, don’t think you can trick me.”

“Single-handed testimony is the least trustworthy. Who knows what your relationship with that Taoist child really is?”

“Either way, once I kill you and extract your soul, everything will be clear!”

“Oh, and you too. The Chaos Illusion Butterfly should have been wiped out from this world long ago.”

“Especially since you are tied to that bitch Dreamweaver, you deserve to die!”

Ye Yu's eyes brightened.

These words really gave him a reminder.

That’s right, why waste time asking all these questions?

As long as he killed him and used soul searching, wouldn’t he know everything?

Thus.

Ye Yu and Ye Jiunian both shared the same thought.

Meanwhile, Yun Roumu gripped her sword tightly.

In a deep voice, she said, “Junior Brother, I’ll handle him!”

Yun Roumu took a step forward.

But she was instantly pulled back.

Ye Yu transmitted his voice to her, “This person is an Ascension Realm grandmaster, you’re no match for him. Leave it to me.

I’ll take care of the revenge for you!”

Upon hearing this.

Yun Roumu froze for a moment.

A strong sense of defeat rose in her heart.

Just now, she had been so angry.

She hadn’t even considered Ye Jiunian’s cultivation level.

Now, with her spiritual sense, she realized that the fluctuations in the spiritual energy from this person were far stronger than Ye Xuanji’s earlier!

Clearly, he was also in the Ascension Realm.

Yun Roumu really wasn’t happy.

When she was in the Nascent Soul Realm, everyone was in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

Now, after finally reaching the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, everyone she met was in the Ascension Realm?

What was going on?

Was this a joke?

However, although Yun Roumu didn’t believe she had the ability to cross realms to fight, she still wanted to help.

“Alright, you two don’t need to argue anymore! You can both go die together!”

Ye Jiunian’s voice was filled with confidence.

Over 20,000 years.

After enduring so much suffering, it wasn’t just about reshaping his body.

At the same time.

He had also cultivated a new technique.

“Return of the Departed!”

With a loud shout!

Ye Jiunian formed seals with his hands.

Suddenly pressing them down onto the ground.

In an instant.

The mountains in the back began to shake violently.

The once peaceful spiritual energy turned wild.

The clear sky.

Was again covered with dark clouds.

But unlike Ye Yu’s Blue Lotus Thunderstrike Sword, which called down thunder.

This time, the dark clouds were filled with a chilling aura.

The next second.

The wails of vengeful spirits suddenly rang out.

Starting off muffled, but growing more piercing.

They disturbed the very souls of those who heard them.

One by one, the vengeful spirits revealed their true forms.

Among them were not only Ye family members slain by Ye Yu.

But also many fearsome beasts, dazzling in their ferocity.

They all shared one common trait: their bodies were blood-red, radiating a brutal aura.

This was the technique Ye Jiunian had spent over 20,000 years to cultivate.

In truth, it had been an accidental creation.

When Ye Jiunian didn’t have the physical strength, he used secret methods to hunt thousands of rare beasts and pure Yang cultivators.

The entire back mountains of the Ye family.

Had become a vast burial ground.

And the blood pool in the main hall was formed by the blood of these beasts and cultivators.

Ye Jiunian used their blood to forge his body, enduring great torment and suffering.

The hatred in his heart resonated with the vengeful spirits.

That was when he came up with this technique.

The vengeful spirits retained over 80% of their original strength, and combined with the blood of the myriad beasts, it enhanced their ferocity.

As long as they remained in this burial ground, they would be continuously nourished by the Yin energy.

Thus, Ye Jiunian stood invincible.

This was why Ye Jiunian was so confident.

Yun Roumu looked at the surrounding vengeful spirits.

She worked hard to steady her mind and spoke with a deep voice, “The Ye family was once a noble family!”

“Yet you practice demonic arts?”

“As long as I can gain endless power, what difference is there between good and evil, demonic arts and Taoist methods?”

Ye Jiunian’s voice was filled with excitement.

And what he didn’t know was.

There was one person present who was even more excited than him.

That person was Ye Yu!

So many vengeful spirits, perhaps to others, were a nightmare of terrifying proportions.

But to Ye Yu.

They were an incredible supplement.

This was a goldmine!

A pure goldmine!

Now the Soul Summoning Banner could definitely have a feast!

But there was still one issue, how to deal with Yun Roumu?

Was he going to knock her out like before?
