[Ye Yu spent two days at Yellow Springs Monastery with Xiao Yinjian and his parents.]
[After leaving them with plenty of pills and spirit fruits, he departed once more.]
[There were matters his master couldn’t handle, and naturally, it was up to the disciple to take them on.]
[Though the cultivations of those at Yellow Springs Monastery were low, that didn’t mean they deserved to die in such an unjust way.]
[Blood debts had to be repaid in blood.]
That night, the Chaos Valley’s protective formation was completely shattered.
[Panic swept through everyone within the sacred ground as they looked down the mountain.]
[They saw a lone figure ascending the steps.]
The elder on duty in Chaos Valley demanded, “Who are you, and why do you trespass on our sacred ground?”
“Ye Yu of Yellow Springs Monastery!” he called out.
“I am here today to seek justice!”
[With the aid of spiritual energy, those words echoed throughout the entirety of Chaos Valley.]
[For a moment, everyone present was stunned.]
[They began frantically wondering which sect Yellow Springs Monastery even was and what sort of justice they could possibly have to seek.]
But Ye Yu said no more.
[Utilizing his Tribulation Stage peak cultivation, he ascended from the base of the mountain to the main hall, leaving no survivors in his wake.]
[Upon entering the main hall of Chaos Valley, he found a young man sitting there, calmly sipping spirit tea.]
[The man showed no surprise at Ye Yu’s arrival.]
[In fact, he even smiled slightly.]
“Faster than I expected,” he said softly.
“Have a seat.”
Hearing this, Ye Yu was momentarily taken aback.
[The young man casually waved his hand, and a cup of spirit tea appeared before Ye Yu.]
[He had a natural friendliness about him.]
“Try it—it’s Chaos Valley’s unique spirit tea. It has a lingering aftertaste, and drinking it regularly can increase spiritual energy.”
“Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself,” he added, almost offhandedly. “I’m Situ Shuping, the sect leader of Chaos Valley.”
“Although this is our first meeting, I know quite a bit about you.”
“Ye Yu, disciple of Xiao Yinjian, the new sect leader of Yellow Springs Monastery.”
“Eighty years ago, you left the Northern Wilderness’ edge and came to the central region.”
“You clashed with Jiao Feikuang of the Jade Void Temple and turned him into a creature neither male nor female.”
“A few years later, you became an Elder of the Bai Family at Wangchuan Cliff.”
“You then became the Dao companion of Bai Miao Leng, the family head’s sister.”
“Twenty years ago, you left the Bai Family and roamed the land, searching for forbidden techniques.”
“Am I right?”
Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
He stared intently at Situ Shuping.
[To think that everything he had done over these years had been uncovered so thoroughly.]
[So, this was the strength of the Chaos Valley sect leader?]
After a moment of silence, Ye Yu asked quietly, “I’m curious—why would you investigate me?”
Situ Shuping smiled, “Actually, it was after you became Bai Miao Leng’s Dao companion.”
“That’s when I first began keeping an eye on you.”
“But as I gathered information, I found myself increasingly intrigued.”
“You’re at the peak of the Tribulation Stage, aren’t you?”
“A Tribulation Stage ascension within a century.”
“No, to be precise, you’re likely not far from ascending in a mere hundred years.”
“Such speed—it’s enough to make anyone envious.”
“Then, I noticed your interest in forbidden techniques.”
“As it happens, a few years before you left Yellow Springs Monastery, the former sect leader Ma Jintian retrieved a forbidden technique.”
“So, I suspected that it was this forbidden technique that sparked your rise.”
“And that you subsequently sought more forbidden techniques because of it.”
“I was genuinely curious, so I sent two elders to Yellow Springs Monastery to retrieve that technique for a closer look.”

“But unexpectedly, they bungled the task.”
“They even began killing people.”
“They were killed by you in the end, which was only fitting.”
“And as for your arrival here in Chaos Valley, I had no intention of stopping you.”
“An eye for an eye, blood for blood—a fair trade.”
“As long as it quenches your anger.”
[The more casually Situ Shuping spoke, the more dangerous Ye Yu found him.]
[As the leader of a sacred land, he could sit calmly as his disciples were slaughtered and even greet their killer with a smile.]
[Such composure was astonishing.]
[Moreover, Ye Yu reasoned that for Situ Shuping to lead Chaos Valley, he must possess extraordinary strength.]
[Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the confidence to sit so nonchalantly across from him.]
After a pause, Ye Yu spoke softly, “What is it you want?”
Situ Shuping slowly rose, the smile fading as he spoke with seriousness, “Now that the blood debt has been paid, your anger should be quelled.”
“Let’s talk about cooperation, shall we?”
“Demon extermination.”
At those final two words, Ye Yu’s eyelid twitched.
Could it be...?
Situ Shuping continued in a somber tone, “I assume you’re aware that Bai Miao Leng is of the Demon Clan.”
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have left the Bai Family.”
“Perhaps you thought that, since you were once husband and wife, you wouldn’t expose her demonic heritage.”
“But do you know that by doing so, you’ve endangered the entire human realm?”
Ye Yu’s expression grew serious.
[To think that someone else knew Bai Miao Leng’s true identity as a demon!]
[But something didn’t add up.]
[If they knew, why hadn’t they taken action against her sooner?]
[Why seek his cooperation instead?]
[As the sect leader of Chaos Valley, Situ Shuping could rally a formidable force with a mere call to arms.]
[If he wanted to eradicate the Bai Family, it wouldn’t be difficult.]
[Why delay action?]
The more Ye Yu thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
Situ Shuping then began explaining the situation with the Demon Clan.
“Long ago, the passageways between the six realms shattered.”
“The Demon Clan, unwilling to abandon the precious lands of the human realm, paid a steep price.”
“They left behind eight pureblood demon seeds.”
“These demons were placed in deep slumber for hundreds of thousands of years, masking them from the heavens.”
“Once the realms settled, they would awaken, hidden from the eyes of fate.”
“These demon seeds would then access their memories and powers through their demonic stones.”
“They would devote their lives to conquering the human realm.”
“Over the ages, the reason why the Demon Clan’s presence remained concealed was not because they hadn’t awakened.”
“Each continent had protectors who wielded immense power, guarding the human realm.”
“In time, these protectors learned of the Demon Clan’s plans and began hunting down the demon seeds that had infiltrated the human world.”
“However, these demon seeds were safeguarded by supreme treasures left behind by the Demon Clan.”
“They weren’t easy to kill.”
“Three protectors perished in battle, and one fell into a deep slumber.”
“My own master was the last remaining protector.”
“He sacrificed his life to eliminate the eighth demon seed.”
“Through the demon’s soul, he discovered a shocking truth.”
“There weren’t eight demon seeds left in the human realm.”
“There were nine.”
