Instantly! A major overhaul of the heritage site!

“A reckless ant!”

Lady White Bone sneered internally.

“A mere Nascent Soul Cultivator dares to resist me? What a joke!”

“Does an ant truly think it can bite an elephant to death?”

“Turn to dust for me!”

She increased the strength in her palm, intending to smash Ye Qing into a pulp.

However, the next moment!

The expression on her face instantly froze!

Because she saw that the slap Ye Qing casually threw out actually... arrived first despite being launched later!

Buzz!

An indescribably terrifying palm force instantly crushed down!

That palm force was formless and intangible, yet it carried an irresistible, supreme power that seemed capable of suppressing eternity!

Boom!!!

The blood-colored giant palm that covered the sky was as fragile as a piece of paper before this palm force.

It couldn't even hold on for an instant before it shattered with a crash, dissolving into a sky full of blood rain!

Immediately afterward, the terrifying palm force continued unabated, fiercely slamming into Lady White Bone.

“What?!”

Lady White Bone's pupils suddenly constricted, her eyes filled with terror and shock!

This... what kind of power is this?!

This is definitely not power a Nascent Soul Cultivator could possess! And it is certainly not something she can resist!

She wanted to scream, to beg for mercy, to flee!

But locked down by that terrifying palm force, she found she couldn't even move a finger!

“No—!”

She opened her mouth wide, trying to say something.

But the sound didn't have time to escape.

Bang!!!

A dull explosion erupted in mid-air!

Lady White Bone's Soul Transformation body, which was harder than metal and stone, instantly burst apart in the air under this casual slap!

Exploding into a gruesome blood mist!

Along with her Nascent Soul and Divine Soul, everything was utterly crushed into dust by this single blow!

One slap.

Spirit Transformation Seventh Layer, Lady White Bone.

Dead!

The entire process was extremely fast.

It was as if the arrogant Lady White Bone from moments ago was just an insect that could be casually exterminated.

Ye Qing slowly withdrew his hand, his expression still calm.

He turned his head and looked at Yin Muyu, who had already opened her eyes, staring wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

Yin Muyu's mouth was wide enough to fit a fist.

He felt slightly amused.

“This is quite fate.”

Ye Qing thought to himself.

Before, that young man named Yin An was looking everywhere for his sister, but he hadn't bothered to intervene in that matter.

Thus, he hadn't asked for the specific details.

Yin An also showed restraint and didn't beg him for help.

Who would have thought that through a strange twist of fate, he would coincidentally save his sister here?

“Alright, it's quiet now.”

Ye Qing looked at the dumbfounded Yin Muyu, spoke again, and asked:

“Now, can you tell me?”

“Where exactly did you obtain that hair ornament?”

“I... you... this...”

Yin Muyu looked at Ye Qing, then at the trace of blood mist remaining in the air, and she stuttered.

At this moment, her mind was blank, and she had completely lost the ability to think.

This is... too powerful, isn't it?!

That was Lady White Bone! A super powerful expert of the Spirit Transformation Seventh Layer!

Just like that... gone?

Smashed away with one slap?

However, before she could recover from her shock.

Around White Bone Manor, sudden sounds of noisy footsteps and commotion arose.

“Quick! There's movement over there!”

“It seems to be Little Bone Lord's courtyard!”

“Charge! Capture the assassin! The Lady's generous reward will be mine!”

Although it was only for a brief moment.

Lady White Bone's previous roar and terrifying pressure had already alarmed the entire White Bone Manor.

At this moment, the guards of White Bone Manor, as well as the numerous guests who had come to the banquet hoping to curry favor with Lady White Bone.

All rushed over in a swarm!

Furthermore, because Lady White Bone had died too quickly and too completely, even her aura had completely vanished.

Therefore, these people had no idea that Lady White Bone was already dead!

They rushed into the small courtyard and immediately spotted Yin Muyu, who was still emitting the aura of a Good Spirit.

Instantly, they were like sharks smelling blood, their eyes turning red!

“It's a Good Spirit!”

“Hahaha! There really is an assassin!”

“This Good Spirit appearing here must be the culprit who assassinated the young master!”

“Don't fight me for her! She's mine!”

“Kill! Kill her! Chop off her head and present it to the Lady! That will be a great merit!”

This group of Evil Nethers scrambled forward, their faces ferocious, brandishing their weapons and Magic Treasures as they lunged toward Yin Muyu and Ye Qing.

The sounds of shouting, fighting, and sinister laughter instantly filled the surroundings.

It was so noisy it made one's head ache.

Ye Qing frowned.

He just wanted to ask a question.

Why was it so difficult?

Ye Qing took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly turning cold.

Immediately.

He raised his right hand and gently waved it toward the dense crowd rushing forward.

Buzz!

A streak of cyan sword light rose from before him.

Initially, it was only about an inch long.

But it grew as it met the wind!

Instantly, it transformed into a terrifying Sword Mountain spanning the sky above the entire White Bone Manor!

“What is that...”

The sinister smiles on the faces of the Evil Nethers rushing at the front instantly froze when they saw this sword light.

A fear originating from the depths of their Souls made them widen their eyes, tremble all over, and immediately turn to flee.

But... it was too late!

Swish—!!!

The Sword Mountain descended from the sky, transforming into a wave of sword Qi that swept across!

In an instant, centered on Ye Qing, it swept across the entire White Bone Manor!

There was no resistance, no pause.

Whether it was sturdy buildings or those Evil Nethers with Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul cultivation.

Before this streak of sword light, they were all like bubbles, shattering upon contact!

“Ah—!”

“No—!”

The terrified cries had just begun before they instantly ceased.

A moment later.

The sword light dissipated.

The entire White Bone Manor was utterly... silent!

All the Evil Nethers, all the guests, all the guards.

And even the entire White Bone Manor itself.

All vanished without a trace.

Only dust remained on the ground, gently drifting in the wind.

The massive White Bone Manor had become ruins, and on the spot, besides Ye Qing and Yin Muyu, there was no third living person standing!

One sword strike.

Annihilation!

Yin Muyu stared blankly at the empty, deathly silent remains of the manor before her.

She was completely petrified.

She looked at Ye Qing's tall, straight figure.

Her heart was filled with nothing but shock!

This... who exactly is this divine figure?! How did her little brother get acquainted with someone like this?

“Now, it's finally quiet.”

Ye Qing said indifferently.

He then turned around and looked at the completely stunned Yin Muyu.

With a wave of his hand.

Swoosh!

The hair ornament on Yin Muyu's head, which carried Ji Yaoyue's Qi, automatically flew into his hand.

Ye Qing rubbed the hair ornament, his gaze falling back onto Yin Muyu.

His tone remained calm:

“Now, no one will disturb us again.”

“Tell me, where did this hair ornament... come from?”

“Gulp!”

Staring at Ye Qing's gaze, Yin Muyu, for some reason.

Subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Following that.

Yin Muyu honestly explained the origin of the hair ornament.

“You're saying... this hair ornament was given to you by a friend?”

After listening, Ye Qing rubbed the warm, smooth hair ornament in his hand.

A trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Yin Muyu felt uneasy under Ye Qing's scrutiny, not understanding why he was pressing about this.

But she still braced herself and nodded, trying to keep her tone as steady as possible:

“Y-yes, she is a friend from the Human Race.”

“Hmm, her name is... Ji Yaoyue?”

Ye Qing's words made Yin Muyu jump in surprise, and she blurted out:

“How do you know that?”

“It seems I was right.”

A look of understanding flashed in Ye Qing's eyes. He then handed the hair ornament back to Yin Muyu and said calmly, "She and I... are also old acquaintances."

“Ah?”

Now it was Yin Muyu's turn to be surprised. She took the hair ornament, her expression strange.

Girls sometimes exchange personal items to show closeness.

Ji Yaoyue giving a hair ornament to Yin Muyu was done for the same reason.

But this person before her... because he was disguised by a Holy Academy Trial Token, Yin Muyu still saw him as a Nether Being.

How did he get to know Ji Yaoyue?

“Since you are an old acquaintance of hers, then you...”

Yin Muyu subconsciously wanted to ask a few questions, but she swallowed the words back before they left her mouth.

She couldn't ask, she dared not ask!

Ye Qing saw through her thoughts and said calmly:

“She and I were old acquaintances. Later, she left to pursue the path of strength, and I haven't seen her since.”

“So that's how it is...”

Yin Muyu nodded thoughtfully, then gave a wry smile:

“Then if you want to find her, I'm afraid you won't be able to.”

“Hmm? Why?”

Ye Qing frowned slightly.

“Because... shortly after giving me this hair ornament, she said she was leaving the Nether Abyss to seek her own Opportunity.”

Yin Muyu sighed:

“Calculating the time, she should have left the Nether Abyss a long time ago.”

Hearing this, Ye Qing felt a slight sense of relief.

It was good that she wasn't in the Nether Abyss.

When he saw Yin Muyu, disguised as a Gold-robed Nether Being, wearing this hair ornament, he had feared that Ji Yaoyue had met with misfortune.

Now it seemed it was just a false alarm.

“Thank you for informing me.”

Ye Qing immediately cupped his hands toward Yin Muyu.

“Benefactor, you are too polite!”

Yin Muyu quickly waved her hands, her expression sincere:

“If the Benefactor hadn't stepped in to save me, I would have perished in the Yellow Springs today. I am the one who should be saying thank you.”

As she spoke, the image of Ye Qing killing Lady White Bone with a single slap involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

That was a super powerful expert of the Spirit Transformation Seventh Layer!

Yet, before this Benefactor, who appeared to only have Nascent Soul cultivation, she was as fragile as paper!

This level of strength... Yin Muyu secretly speculated, must be at least Spirit Transformation Eighth Layer, or even... Ninth Layer of Soul Transformation Stage, right?

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly tightened, and an idea uncontrollably popped into her mind.

“Benefactor...”

Yin Muyu cautiously glanced at Ye Qing, lowering her voice as she asked:

“I wonder if the Benefactor... is confident in dealing with a Void Return Realm expert?”

“Void Return?”

Ye Qing was slightly taken aback.

Before he could speak, Yin Muyu explained nervously:

“The Benefactor may not know, but although Lady White Bone is dead, she has an even more terrifying father—the Nether King!”

“Nether King?”

“That's right!”

Yin Muyu nodded emphatically, her eyes showing apprehension.

She explained carefully:

“This Nether King is the overlord of this region. His strength is unfathomable, and it is rumored that he is infinitely close to the Void Return Realm!”

“Today is Little Bone Lord's hundred-day catching ceremony banquet, and for the sake of his grandson, he will surely come to the feast!”

“Now that White Bone Manor has been destroyed and Lady White Bone is dead, the Nether King will surely be furious once he arrives!”

By this point, Yin Muyu's face had turned slightly pale.

“Although the Benefactor is powerful, facing the Nether King... might be a bit tricky?”

“Therefore... in my opinion, it would be best if we avoided the spotlight for now!”

Hearing this, Ye Qing's heart stirred slightly.

Nether King?

Infinitely close to the Void Return Realm?

Since comprehending the Sword Dao Law Divine Ability, his fighting power had greatly increased, but he hadn't encountered a worthy opponent.

Although Lady White Bone was Spirit Transformation Seventh Layer, she was still not worth mentioning in front of him.

Hearing the news of the Nether King, Ye Qing felt no fear; instead, a trace of anticipation subtly arose.

An expert infinitely close to the Void Return Realm... how would he compare to a true Void Return Realm expert?

If he went all out, how many moves could he exchange with him?

Or rather... how many rounds would it take to suppress him?

With this thought, a trace of Battle Intent flashed in Ye Qing's eyes, and he remained silent in contemplation.

Since he hadn't fought someone of this caliber yet, he didn't know what the outcome would be if they truly clashed.

Yin Muyu had been observing Ye Qing's expression, and seeing him silent in contemplation, her heart immediately sank.

She thought.

“It seems... the Benefactor isn't confident in dealing with the Nether King either.”

She sighed inwardly.

True, the Nether King had been famous for a long time, dominating this region and even making a name for himself throughout the entire Nether Abyss.

How could a young junior easily contend with him?

Although the Benefactor is a Prodigy, he hasn't truly matured yet.

If he were to face the Nether King now, the outcome would likely be disastrous!

Thinking this, Yin Muyu's eyes darted around, and she made a plan.

Since the Benefactor wasn't speaking, perhaps it was due to pride, making it difficult for him to directly admit defeat.

In that case, she would provide an opening for him to step down gracefully.

“Benefactor.”

Thus, Yin Muyu spoke again, her tone carrying sincerity and expectation.

“I wonder if the Benefactor has a place to stay here in the Nether Abyss?”

Ye Qing shook his head upon hearing this:

“I do not.”

“Then that's perfect!”

Yin Muyu's eyes lit up, and she quickly said:

“If the Benefactor doesn't mind, why don't you come with me to our Yin Clan Territory?”

“Go to your Clan Territory?”

Ye Qing was somewhat surprised to hear this.

“That's right!”

Yin Muyu nodded and smiled mysteriously.

She introduced:

“Actually... near our Yin Clan Territory, there is a Legacy site left behind by a Great Cultivator of the Human Race!”

A Legacy site left by a Great Cultivator of the Human Race in the Nether Abyss? That sounds interesting, perhaps it's worth a look?

Ye Qing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, genuinely piqued.

“Are you sure?”

“I'm sure!”

Seeing Ye Qing interested, Yin Muyu quickly pressed the advantage.

“That Legacy site is extremely mysterious. Although no one has been able to obtain the complete Legacy yet, as long as one gains some enlightenment there, even just a tiny fraction, they will benefit endlessly!”

“My younger brother, Yin An, was fortunate enough to obtain a fifth-tier Flying Sword from that Legacy site, which is why he possesses fighting power far exceeding those of the same rank!”

Of course, the most important thing was.

The terrain there is hidden, and it is protected by a great formation. Even if the Nether King wanted to find it, it wouldn't be easy.

This was her thoughtful intention.

Worried that Ye Qing was concerned about losing face, she used the Legacy site to change the subject.

“The Benefactor can take this Opportunity to explore the Legacy site. Perhaps you might find some unexpected gains?”
