"Golden… Golden Core."
The moment Mo Yi saw Chu Xue, his entire body trembled. Although Chu Xue concealed her Aura, the blood of a Great Demon flowed within him, making him highly sensitive to danger.
Immediately, he turned and fled without hesitation. He was no match for a Human Golden Core Grand Cultivator now.
He couldn't understand why his objective was exposed, or why Ye Lin happened to be in Sun Moon City, but there was only one path before him: run.
"Since you're here, don't leave."
Chu Xue chuckled softly, her body slowly rising into the air. A beautiful emerald green longsword appeared in her hand.
"Slash!"
Chu Xue let out a soft cry. In the sky, a thousand-meter-long sword light appeared, slashing towards Mo Yi's retreating figure.
The instant Ye Lin saw this sword light, he felt an unprecedented pressure. Under this sword light, he was utterly powerless to resist.
"It's impossible for a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to defeat a Golden Core Stage Cultivator."
Ye Lin shook his head secretly.
"No!"
Mo Yi screamed from afar, his entire body transforming into a cloud of Blood Mist. As the sword light descended, a violent explosion echoed, and half of the Blood Mist was instantly cut away.
"Still trying to run? Slash!"
Seeing this, Chu Xue showed no mercy, raising her longsword again and unleashing another strike.
"Damn it! When I Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, I will surely exterminate the entire Qingyun Sect!"
Mo Yi roared, his body surging with Blood Qi. His entire Demonic Aura rapidly ascended. In a short moment, Mo Yi's body exuded the Aura of the Golden Core Stage.
After using all his strength to resist Chu Xue's sword, he vanished into the sky.
Watching Mo Yi depart, Chu Xue's expression turned somewhat ugly. Two sword strikes had failed to keep a Foundation Establishment Stage Evil Demon.
Meanwhile, Ye Lin looked at the panel before him, lost in thought.
Name: Mo Yi
Race: Demon Race
Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Peak
Fate: Purple
Destiny: 【Ancient Demon Bloodline】
Fate: After devouring hundreds of thousands of people, he successfully Broke Through to the Golden Core Stage, becoming a terrifying Great Demon that wreaked havoc for ten thousand li around. He was eventually slain by two Grand Elders from the Qingyun Sect and Heaven Sword Sect, who sustained severe injuries in the process.
Recent Opportunity: After suffering severe injuries, he traveled ten thousand li away to recuperate carefully. He recovered on Jueduan Cliff for half a year, then accidentally discovered a cave beneath Jueduan Cliff. Entering the cave, he found an Immortal Cave and obtained Profound Rank High-Grade Earth Vein Essence Qi from within. After absorbing it all, he stepped into the Golden Core Early Stage in one fell swoop.
【Ancient Demon Bloodline】: You are a descendant of an Ancient Great Demon, with the blood of an Ancient Great Demon flowing within you. At the same Realm, you are virtually invincible.
"Earth Vein Essence Qi? How much could there be to allow Mo Yi, in a severely injured state, to not only recover but also step into the Golden Core Early Stage in one go?"
Ye Lin pondered in his heart.
Earth Vein Essence Qi was previously described as the Qi of the earth. It's possible that the Earth Vein Essence Qi in that Immortal Cave was accumulated from an area spanning ten thousand li.
Such Heaven and Earth Treasures have various miraculous effects on Cultivators, aiding in Realm Breakthroughs and healing hidden injuries.
Treasures nurtured by Heaven and Earth are also the most precious.
"Jueduan Cliff, Mo Yi is Cultivating on Jueduan Cliff, and that Earth Vein Essence Qi is beneath Jueduan Cliff. This Opportunity, I can take."
Mo Yi had escaped from Chu Xue's hands, so he must have suffered unimaginable heavy injuries. It was already good that he didn't die. If he were to face Mo Yi head-on now, he wouldn't be afraid at all.
Therefore, this Opportunity was his.
"Damn it, I didn't expect this Evil Demon to have such a life-saving method."
Chu Xue, who had turned the eighteen Foundation Establishment Peak Evil Cultivators into dust with a single sword strike, came before Ye Lin, her expression grim.
She had never heard of a treasure that could temporarily boost one's strength to the Golden Core Stage.
"Master, that Evil Demon suffered two of your sword strikes and must be severely injured. He definitely won't dare to appear for a while."
"During this time, we can take the Opportunity to subdue several major forces. By then, when the Evil Demon recovers, we can consolidate our strength and ultimately slay him."
Ye Lin bowed to Chu Xue and slowly analyzed the situation.
From the current situation, Mo Yi would need half a year to recover most of his injuries. After he himself seized the Earth Vein Essence Qi, Mo Yi would only be at the Golden Core Stage in half a year.
Perhaps, they wouldn't even need to make a move. Once he had thoroughly exploited Mo Yi, this Evil Demon, he would personally slay him.
As long as he absorbed the Earth Vein Essence Qi, his foundation would surely be sufficient by then, and he could then begin to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.
"It seems this is the only way. I will return to Qingyun Sect first."
"Alright."
Chu Xue nodded to Ye Lin and flew away with extreme speed.
"Mo Yi won't discover the Earth Vein Essence Qi beneath Jueduan Cliff for another half a year, so I'll set a time to go in three months."
"Earth Vein Essence Qi, the longer it's left, the better its effect. It absorbs the surrounding Earth Qi, so the longer it's left, the more it absorbs."
Having thought this through, Ye Lin walked towards Qingyun Sect. He had obtained many good things during this period and planned to refine them one by one. Also, the Profound Rank Martial Skill from the tattered scroll, he hadn't had time to Cultivate it yet.
He had been in seclusion to Breakthrough his Realm, which led him to neglect the Cultivation of Martial Skills.
Upon arriving at Qingyun Sect, Ye Lin immediately saw the Grand Elder.
"Grand Elder, how is it? What's the situation with Saint King Sect currently?"
Ye Lin stopped the Grand Elder and asked.
"I was just about to tell you about this. Many Foundation Establishment Stage Inner Sect Disciples of Saint King Sect have disappeared, and Saint King Sect's Sect Master, Chu Xiao, has also vanished. Now, Saint King Sect has fallen into great chaos."
"The Grand Elder of Saint King Sect has stepped forward but can no longer suppress the situation. Now, Saint King Sect is in utter chaos."
"I was just about to ask you what we should do next?"
The Grand Elder's face was filled with anxiety. Now that Saint King Sect was in chaos, it had exceeded their control. Saint King Sect's Inner Sect had five Elders, all at the Foundation Establishment Peak, and now three of these Foundation Establishment Peak Elders had already rebelled.
And with a large number of Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples missing, the Disciples of Saint King Sect were in a state of panic, all preparing to pack up and flee, fearing they would be the next to disappear.
Furthermore, with Chu Xiao missing and no one in control of the overall situation, and Saint King Sect's Old Ancestor unable to frequently make a move to conserve his lifespan, Saint King Sect was left to descend into chaos.
"Saint King Sect in chaos?"
Ye Lin was startled. He hadn't expected this. How could Saint King Sect fall into such chaos?
A Sect that had been peaceful for hundreds of years suddenly descending into chaos, this matter was a bit strange.
Adding to that, three Foundation Establishment Peak Elders had rebelled? Ye Lin immediately thought of the Evil Demon.
Currently, there was only one explanation: Chu Xiao and those three Foundation Establishment Peak Elders had all defected to Chu Xiao.
It must be said that the Evil Demon had secret methods to extend human lifespan and treasures to rapidly Breakthrough Realms. These two things had already ensnared ninety-nine percent of Cultivators.
Dare I ask, a Cultivator who has Cultivated for hundreds of years, whose lifespan is at its end, but whose heart is extremely unwilling, then someone comes and tells you he can extend your lifespan, only requiring you to do things for him, would you agree or not?
Very few Cultivators whose lifespan is at its end can resist such temptation.
"It's good that Saint King Sect is in chaos. Saint King Sect's Old Ancestor cannot make a move unless the Sect is in crisis, and the Sect Master has disappeared without a trace."
"How many Elders in our Sect currently don't have urgent matters to attend to?"
Ye Lin asked the Grand Elder. Hearing this, the Grand Elder's expression straightened. Without guessing, he knew what Ye Lin wanted to do.
"There are six Inner Sect Elders who don't have urgent matters."
"Good. Tomorrow, gather the six Elders and the Inner Sect Disciples. We will go and help Saint King Sect suppress the rebellion."
