Chapter 411

"Ji Lingqing first nodded, then his expression froze."

"Unbelievably, he said, 'Didn't you say that it would be a dead-end if we went any further? Why are you going back now?'"

"‘What could possibly be so important that you're willing to risk your life?’"

"Ye Yu was speechless, his head full of black lines."

"What else could it be? Naturally, it’s those precious immortal corpses."

"He’d gone through all this trouble just to bury them, right?"

"How could he just leave so easily now?"

"Of course, he couldn’t say this out loud."

"So, Ye Yu casually said, 'I’ve also fallen for an immortal, wrote a love letter just now, and left it over there. I need to go get it back. Don’t worry about me! You go ahead!'"

"As he was about to leave, Ye Yu suddenly turned around, looking very serious as he warned, 'Don’t follow me. It’s very private, the kind of thing no one should see.'"

"So, leave me be!"

"Upon hearing this, Ji Lingqing showed a mischievous smile."

"‘I didn’t expect you to be shy?’"

"But it’s fine, I won’t laugh at you."

"I just want to go with you for your safety, not to read the letter, I swear."

"Ye Yu couldn’t help but sigh."

"He could feel that Ji Lingqing meant well."

"But right now, he could only appreciate the sentiment in his heart."

"He absolutely couldn’t let this guy discover his secret."

"Helpless, Ye Yu suddenly raised his hand and slapped a transient symbol on Ji Lingqing."

"Then, he immediately activated his celestial power."

"In the next moment, Ji Lingqing’s figure disappeared from where he stood."

"Ye Yu let out a long, heavy breath."

"Phew!"

"The whole world went silent."

"This feeling... is just too good."

"But Ye Yu didn’t stay in place for long."

"Instead, he quickly returned to the outskirts of Suxin Sect."

"Planning to go loot the corpses."

"Based on the calculations, the timing should be just right."

"While they were still fighting intensely, he would quietly gather up all the fallen corpses."

"That should be a nice little boost for him."

"The only thing to worry about was if too many people from Suxin Sect showed up."

"If that happened, it would make things inconvenient for Ye Yu."

"With a slight feeling of unease, Ye Yu retraced his steps."

"But to his surprise, he found over fifty immortal corpses scattered in disarray, hundreds of miles away from Suxin Sect."

"In the distance, there were two immortals from Tiandi Pavilion making their last stand, fighting while retreating."

"Five immortals from Suxin Sect were chasing them."

"As they walked further and further away, they eventually disappeared from view."

"Ye Yu felt quite excited."

"Tsk tsk, the immortals from Tiandi Pavilion are really something. They’ve drawn the battle lines so far."

"Suxin Sect sure is bold."

"They didn’t send many immortals, are they really that confident at their doorstep?"

"If they sent more people, the battle wouldn’t have been so fierce."

"Anyway, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ye Yu."

"Such a situation was perfect for him to get to work."

"So, Ye Yu no longer concealed his presence and appeared directly, starting to collect all the immortal corpses on the ground into his storage ring."

"Once he was back in a safe place, he would bury them."

"Huh, isn’t this the Tiandi Pavilion immortal I just encountered?"

"He’s dead too, well, that’s a relief."

"After all, this guy had personally seen Ye Yu come in a black robe to stir up trouble."

"Even if he didn’t die now, Ye Yu would find a chance to take him down."

"Just unlucky for this guy."

"However, Ye Yu didn’t know that, as he died, Qiao Dongkai was still mentally mocking Ye Yu for his sixth behavior."

"If he were in a special place like the Underworld."

"Qiao Dongkai would’ve definitely become a very powerful vengeful spirit."

"The reason was simple—his resentment was just too strong."

"Even exorcism wouldn’t work on him."

"After about ten breaths of time."

"Ye Yu had already collected all the corpses into his storage ring."

"But at that moment, he noticed a strange phenomenon."

"All the vitality from the bodies had disappeared."

"It was as if it had been deliberately drained."

"What’s going on here?"

"Ye Yu couldn’t make sense of it."

"What are you thinking about?"

"A soft voice came from behind."

"Ye Yu suddenly turned around and saw a face that was breathtakingly beautiful."

"The person was Zhong Qin."

"Ye Yu was quite surprised and quickly asked, 'How did you end up here?'"

"Zhong Qin shook the communication stone in her hand and calmly said, 'I received a distress signal from a fellow disciple, so I rushed over.'"

"‘But on the way, I didn’t seem to see any signs of other people fighting.’"

"‘Did you see anything?’"

"Ye Yu’s mind quickly turned."

"He immediately responded, 'I don’t know. I just finished dealing with an immortal who was opposing me and came here as quickly as I could.'"

"‘Could it be that they got caught up in a fight somewhere else?’"

"Zhong Qin’s expression became serious as she spoke in a ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ low voice, 'So many of our fellow disciples, if they truly fought, would there be no fallen immortals?'"

"But there isn’t even a single immortal corpse here."

"Could it be that the battle really took place elsewhere?"

"Did I go to the wrong place?"

"Ye Yu frowned slightly."

"Damn, I should’ve left a couple of Xuan Immortal corpses outside, just to leave some traces."

"But now, it’s too late to say anything."

"Since it’s already been said this far, he had to find a way to explain."

"Ye Yu said seriously, 'Elder, we must’ve gone to the wrong place. How about we check somewhere else?'"

"Before Zhong Qin could respond."

"Ye Yu cupped his hands and turned to leave."

"His speed was extremely fast, without a trace of hesitation."

"It was as if something terrifying would happen if he stayed even a moment longer."

"Seeing this, Zhong Qin didn’t try to stop him."

"She looked at Ye Yu’s retreating back with a playful smile."

"Then she gently raised her hand."

"Several straw figures suddenly appeared, swiftly flying toward her palm."

"The direction they came from was exactly the direction where Ye Yu had seen a few immortals fighting before."

"That’s right."

"In fact, the immortal battle Ye Yu had seen from a distance when he arrived was entirely an illusion."

"Just a little trick by Zhong Qin."

"The reason she did this."

"Was to make Ye Yu lower his guard and give him an opportunity."

"To verify whether her suspicion was correct."

"Because, when the chaotic battle began."

"When Ye Yu took Ji Lingqing and left, Zhong Qin had seen with her own eyes that this guy had casually placed a corpse into his storage ring."
