In fact, Ye Yu wasn’t exaggerating.
The situation in the central Celestial Realm really was chaotic.
The Tenfold Dao was a thoroughly action-oriented sect, and in a very short time,
they had already started operations together with allied sects.
They had even shouted the slogan of exterminating demons within a year.
But this completely underestimated the strength of the evil immortals from the Three Corpses Hall.
The two sides fought a fierce battle in the ruins of an immortal sect called the Hundred Lords Temple.
It was rumored that over a hundred immortals were killed or wounded on each side.
The conflict was truly intense.
But Ye Yu had no interest in this at all.
He was still busy searching for news about Lin Miaoxue.
After all, amid the turmoil, he really worried about his wife’s safety.
Yet even after searching the entire central Celestial Realm, he found no trace of Lin Miaoxue.
This made Ye Yu feel very strange.
Could it be that Lin Miaoxue was not actually in the central Celestial Realm?
But somewhere else?
That would be troublesome.
Ye Yu scratched his head in irritation.
At that moment, however, he ran into a dozen or so immortals.
Their robes were somewhat tattered, obviously having just been through a fierce battle.
Ye Yu was no longer surprised by such a sight.
Let them fight. After all, whether they lived or died had nothing to do with him.
But these dozen immortals stopped right in front of Ye Yu.
This made him somewhat puzzled.
On closer look, he found that among them were two immortals he had met before.
One was Shanting, the high-crowned envoy of the Tenfold Dao.
It was he who had once invited Zhuo Lanqing and Ye Yu to jointly attend the Immortal Assembly at the Tenfold Dao.
The other was Duan Yangfeng, leader of the Tianle Sect.
If not for Ye Yu’s appearance, the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Robe would have fallen into his hands,
and he would have risen strongly.
To be honest, Ye Yu had a fairly strong impression of both of them.
The reason he didn’t recognize them just now was because they looked very different from when they first met.
Shanting’s distinctive tall crown was broken in half, and a scar now ran across his face,
greatly diminishing his scholarly aura.
Duan Yangfeng was even more disheveled.
His sky-blue Dao robe had been torn into rags.
His hair was messy and unkempt.
If they hadn’t stopped on their own, Ye Yu might not have even noticed them.
Shanting stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, “Immortal Ye Yu, we meet again!”
“Indeed we do, but your attire... it’s a bit...” Ye Yu tried to feign concern but failed,
only managing to say half a sentence.
He feared he might burst out laughing if he continued.
Shanting glanced at his own shabby appearance and could only smile wryly.
“Please forgive my appearance. Much has happened since we last parted.
The Three Corpses Hall’s evil immortals are far stronger than we imagined.
Immortal Ye Yu, would you be willing to join us in exterminating demons? With your help, we would be invincible.”
“Exterminating demons? No thanks!
I have more important matters to attend to. I can’t assist.”
Ye Yu decisively rejected Shanting’s proposal.
The latter showed no anger or persistence.
He only said softly, “Sorry for the disturbance.”
Then turned and left with the others without any delay.
Ye Yu found this rather surprising—so straightforward?
In truth, Shanting’s real intention was not to invite Ye Yu to join the Tenfold Dao’s conflict with the Three Corpses Hall.
After all, in such a large-scale war,
unless one was top-tier strength, one or two immortals couldn’t affect the outcome.
There was no need to waste words.
What Shanting really wanted was °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° to see whether Ye Yu had unlocked the secret of the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Robe and was wearing it.
So he used the invitation as an excuse to take a close look.
Later, he found that the robe Ye Yu wore was not the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Robe,
and felt relieved.
After all, Shanting had coveted that robe for a long time.
Unfortunately, he could not unlock its barrier and thus missed the chance.
But if Ye Yu managed to unlock the restrictions on the Four Symbols Ink Bamboo Robe, Shanting’s intentions would have been much more than just chatting.
After these immortals disappeared from view,
Ye Yu looked north.
Since he could not find Lin Miaoxue in the central Celestial Realm, he prepared to search elsewhere.
At that moment,
a gentle voice came softly from behind.
“Immortal, what are you looking at?”
Ye Yu turned around to see a young immortal maiden in a cyan robe standing not far away.
Her face was full of smiles.
Ye Yu scrutinized her and found her quite unfamiliar.
Curiously, he said, “Immortal, I don’t think we know each other?”
“Maybe you don’t know me, but I know you.
Immortal Ye Yu, what you did in Yunpin Immortal Palace was truly earth-shattering!
It even scared people a bit!”
The maiden’s face was full of playful expression.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu’s expression gradually grew cold.
“Who are you?”
The maiden raised her fair jade finger and softly said, “You ask me?
My name is Banxia, I am the superior of Zhu Le!”
Zhu Le was the sect master of Yunpin Immortal Palace, so her superior naturally referred not to Yunpin Immortal Palace, but to the Three Corpses Hall.
Unexpectedly, just as the Tenfold Dao people had left, the Three Corpses Hall had already arrived.
Why hadn’t these two hostile sects met earlier?
But now it was useless to ponder.
Ye Yu lightly twirled his fingers, ready to act at any moment.
He quietly asked, “Oh? So you came today to take revenge for your subordinate Zhu Le?”
“No no no, I have no such intention.
That waste Zhu Le, I’ve long looked down on her.
All she has in her mind are some shameful things.
Even if you don’t kill her, maybe when I’m in a bad mood sometime, I’ll just twist her head off myself.”
Banxia waved her hands repeatedly, then watched Ye Yu with great interest and said seriously, “Right now, the person I’m interested in is you!”
Ye Yu slightly raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.
But he did not speak.
Instead, he used his divine sense to scan the surroundings for any other hidden immortals.
No one could be trusted.
Who knew if Banxia was stalling for time.
“Enough, stop looking. I’m the only one here, and I’m seriously talking to you.
Can’t you be serious too?”
Banxia glared at Ye Yu with mock anger.
That look was full of youthful charm,
making one feel as if they had returned to their college days, facing their first love.
But Ye Yu remained unmoved and said softly, “If you have something to say, just say it. No need for all those expressions; they don’t help!”
