How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Boom, boom~

Only to see that the powerful sword move he exhibited, upon striking Chen Yu, was like an egg smashing against a stone, instantly shattering apart.

"This... what kind of monster is this..."

This time, Elder Xu was even more shocked.

Although Ye Luofeng had surprised him before, at least she overcame him using powerful sword moves.

But this Chen Yu had actually smashed his attack into pieces.

Sword practitioners had always taken pride in their powerful attacks, but Chen Yu's action seemed to tell everyone that Elder Xu's attack was so fragile it couldn't even withstand a single blow.

This was simply more insulting than what Ye Luofeng had done!

Not only was Elder Xu's expression frozen in shock, but some of the disciples and higher-ups of the Yunyue Sect were equally astonished.

This was the first time that Chen Yu had displayed such a formidable physique in front of so many people from the Yunyue Sect.

"He can actually withstand the attack of a Late Innate expert!"

The Yunyue Sect Master gasped.

He had previously thought that Ye Luofeng was stronger than Chen Yu and was protecting Chen Yu, which is why Chen Yu was so brazen.

But now, he had completely abandoned that idea.

The battle was not over yet.

After shattering Elder Xu's sword move, Chen Yu continued to charge forward, reaching Elder Xu in an instant, and kicked out.

"You brat... you dare!"

Elder Xu was livid, his beard puffing and eyes bulging with anger.

This junior actually dared to try to kick him.

Whoosh!

Elder Xu's figure swiftly retreated backward at an astonishing speed.

However, Chen Yu was even faster, continuing to close the gap.

This scene caused a wave of terror to rise in Elder Xu's heart.

Now, he finally understood that Chen Yu was also someone he could not provoke.

Swoosh!

Elder Xu thrust out with his sword.

Ding dang!

Chen Yu swept his foot, kicking Elder Xu's sword away, and then, another kick landed on Elder Xu's chest.

Elder Xu's ribs broke in several places, his figure was thrown backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Elder Xu..."

Elder Pan on the Lion Hawk widened his eyes in shock, unable to help exclaiming.

Wasn't Elder Xu there to seek revenge on his behalf? How did it come to this, being humiliated time and again, ending up in such a sorry state?

Elder Pan's head buzzed, his figure somewhat unstable.

Bang!

Just at that moment, Chen Yu arrived atop the Lion Hawk, kicking Elder Pan down, causing him to face-plant into the ground.

"Ye Luofeng, if we ride this flying steed, we should be able to return to the Qi Country Lingjian Sect a few days earlier."

Chen Yu said with a light chuckle.

This Lion Hawk was of much higher rank than the flying steed Ye Luofeng and he had prepared before.

That proud Lion Hawk, feeling Chen Yu's presence on its back, didn't dare to make any rash moves.

"That's right."

Ye Luofeng replied, flying up onto the Lion Hawk.

"You guys..."

On the side, Elder Xu saw this scene, and fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth again.

This time, the blow he received was too great, his heart extremely depressed.

He was, after all, an elder of the Lingjian Sect. Coming to this subordinate sect, he intended to flaunt his power, but ended up completely losing face.

Now, even his flying steed had been taken over by Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng.

Suddenly, Elder Xu's expression shook.

Did Chen Yu just say they were going to the Qi Country Lingjian Sect?

These two were courting death. Elder Xu was no match for Chen Yu or Ye Luofeng, but as the number one great sect in Qi Country, the Lingjian Sect had countless experts. Their return to the Lingjian Sect was tantamount to seeking death, wasn't it?

Of course, Elder Xu harbored deep hatred for Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng; he wished for them to seek death.

However, remembering that Ye Luofeng's master was the Supreme Elder of the sect, he felt that the matter might not be so simple.

"Nephew Ye, since you are returning to the Lingjian Sect, why not take me along?"

Elder Xu brazenly suggested.

He had borrowed the sect's Lion Hawk and now it had been snatched away by Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng. If he were to return to the sect, where would he place his dignity?

"Alright, Elder Xu, I hope you won't disappoint me from here on out!"

Ye Luofeng agreed.

She and Chen Yu, going to the Lingjian Sect, were likely to encounter many obstacles. Having Elder Xu's assistance would make things much smoother.

"Certainly, certainly!"

Elder Xu forced a smile and then boarded the Lion Hawk.

"Sect Master, we're leaving."

Chen Yu offhandedly said.

Roar roar roar!

The Lion Hawk's massive wings flapped violently, creating a strong wind, and it took off, gradually disappearing into the distance.

The Lion Hawk was very fast; in less than three days, they left Chu Country's borders and entered the territory of Qi Country.

Qi Country, the most powerful among the Three Kingdoms, housed two superpowers, the Lingjian Sect and the Purple Cloud Palace.

The Lingjian Sect alone was much stronger than Chu Country's Bone Demon Palace, and now with the Yunyue Sect and Iron Sword Sect becoming subordinate forces to the Lingjian Sect, the entire Qi Country became even more formidable.

Upon entering Qi Country, Ye Luofeng's expression immediately changed.

After another two days, the two finally arrived at the greatest sect in Qi Country, the Lingjian Sect.

The Lingjian Sect was built upon a range of mountains.

Its main foundation was concentrated in three peaks that soared into the clouds.

Those three steep peaks, like three massive swords, stood between heaven and earth, emanating an invisible Sword Intent deterrence.

The very moment the Lion Hawk arrived, several disciples at the mountain gate immediately knelt down to greet it.

Within the sect, only the powerful and influential elders were allowed to ride Lion Hawks.

Among the disciples, one slightly lifted his head while kneeling in respect and caught a glimpse of a dazzling beauty in white sitting atop the Lion Hawk.

"Senior Sister Ye?"

The disciple's face froze.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Gale-force winds howled as the Lion Hawk entered the Lingjian Sect.

"How is that possible? Senior Sister Ye is now a fugitive wanted by the sect. How could she possibly return to the Lingjian Sect?"

Another disciple, upon hearing his companion's remark, immediately denied it.

"Haha, little Li must be so infatuated with Senior Sister Ye that he's gone mad."

Yet another disciple mocked.

The Lion Hawk descended onto a plaza.

Nearby, many disciples gathered around.

"Elder Xu!"

Many disciples paid their respects in succession.

"Senior Sister Ye?"

"Ye Luofeng?"

However, when they saw Ye Luofeng sitting on the Lion Hawk, they were utterly astonished.

Ye Luofeng, who stood there, was no longer the rising star of the Sword Dao within the sect, but a fugitive wanted by the sect.

They had never imagined they would see Ye Luofeng within the sect again.

"Congratulations, Elder Xu, on capturing the sect's wanted fugitive. This is definitely a great merit!"

One Inner Sect Disciple, quick-witted, immediately stepped forward with a sycophantic smile.

Upon hearing this, the rest of the disciples nodded their heads.

It must have been Elder Xu who got wind of Ye Luofeng's whereabouts and captured her to bring her back.

Many male disciples' faces showed grief since the once-admired Ye Luofeng, the dream goddess of many, was now in the sect's custody and likely to face a dire fate.

For most of the female disciples, it was a case of schadenfreude.

However, as many came to offer their congratulations, Elder Xu's expression turned decidedly grave.

"Shut up, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Elder Xu suddenly shouted, startling the crowd.

At the same time, he glared fiercely at the first disciple who had come to congratulate him.

This trip to Yunyue Sect had been the most humiliating experience of his life.

He indeed had plans to capture Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng, but in the end, he was thoroughly humiliated by the pair. Now, as these people came to congratulate him, Elder Xu saw it as an insult.

"Disciple Ye has returned to the sect to clear her name. Until this matter is resolved, do not make wild guesses or careless remarks," Elder Xu said sternly.

His words shocked everyone present, then silence fell as they processed the information rapidly.

The case of Ye Luofeng being labeled a fugitive was personally announced by Elder Chai.

And Elder Chai was one of the Supreme Elders in the sect. Could it be that Ye Luofeng intended to confront a Supreme Elder of the sect?

Of course, Ye Luofeng's master was also one of the sect's Supreme Elders.

If her master fought to protect her and she turned over the Heavenly Que Sword, she might be able to return to the sect.

After all, her master was a Supreme Elder, affording her possibilities not available to the ordinary disciple.

However, this would mean that in the power struggle within the sect, the faction of Ye Luofeng's master would be at a disadvantage.

"Nephew Ye, Chen, wait here for a moment. I will go to meet with the sect's Supreme Elders," Elder Xu said with a smile, then floated away.

Around them, many disciples kept a respectful distance from Ye Luofeng.

After all, the waters were too deep, and until the matter was resolved, they preferred not to get too close to Ye Luofeng, lest they invite trouble.

"Who is that young man?"

Some people took notice of Chen Yu.

"It's normal for Elder Xu to bring Ye Luofeng back, but who is this young man?"

"Could he be a lover that Senior Sister Ye brought back from the outside?"

Several disciples speculated among themselves, their expressions tinged with disappointment.

After all, Ye Luofeng was the number one beauty of the Lingjian Sect, and the dream goddess of most male disciples.

"Let me show you around the Lingjian Sect," Ye Luofeng said to Chen Yu.

The two had been standing there and didn't want to continue to be the center of attention.

"Let's go!" Chen Yu nodded.

They then left the plaza and headed to other areas.

This scene, witnessed by other disciples, reinforced their belief that this mysterious man was Ye Luofeng's lover.

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng hadn't gone far when three or four disciples quickly approached.

The leader, a gorgeously dressed male with an impressive demeanor, exclaimed in shock at Ye Luofeng.

"Junior Sister Ye, why have you come back?"

"Brother Zhang, long time no see," Ye Luofeng looked at the male disciple.

His name was "Zhang You," the top disciple of the Lingjian Sect and just slightly less gifted in the Sword Dao than Ye Luofeng. He joined the sect earlier, and his cultivation had always been higher than Ye Luofeng's.

Back when they were in the sect, Zhang You was exceptionally kind to Ye Luofeng, and they often sparred with each other.

Later, however, Ye Luofeng learned of Zhang You's affections for her, but since she did not reciprocate these feelings, she started keeping her distance.

"Junior Sister Ye, you're currently wanted by the sect. Why have you come back? You should leave quickly; if the Sect Elders find out, you won't be able to even if you want to," Zhang You urged again, his face showing urgency.

In actuality, Zhang You wasn't too worried.

With Ye Luofeng's master being a Supreme Elder of the sect, plus her exceptional talent, the sect wouldn't be too harsh as long as she surrendered the Heavenly Que Sword.

However, he was harboring another plan.

He had already sent someone to inform a powerful Sect Elder of the sect.

When that Elder personally came to deal with Ye Luofeng, if he stood up to protect her, he was sure to win her favor.
