【Three days later.】
【Xiao Jibo had already combed through the entirety of Dingling City.】
【Through various circumstances, he locked his target onto Ye Yu from Kuhan City.】
【The reason was simple: a damned person who could freely come and go inside Dingling City.】
【That alone was strange.】
【Moreover, Xiao Jibo clearly remembered that he had arranged for Jiao Hekang to pin the blame on Ye Yu, ensuring his death.】
【Yet Ye Yu was still alive and well.】
【That was enough to prove something was wrong.】
【Perhaps it was because of him that Jiao Hekang and the others got caught up in this.】
【Either Ye Yu was the one who practiced the Divine Control Mind Technique, or behind him stood someone who could.】
【In any case, Ye Yu was the most suspicious.】
【Xiao Jibo thought it was necessary to make a move!】
【However, just as he had barely left Dingling City,】
【Five presences instantly locked onto him.】
【This caused a playful smile to appear on Xiao Jibo’s face as he suddenly stopped midair and stood silently.】
【In the next moment,】
【Five figures appeared around him, completely surrounding Xiao Jibo.】
【Their faces were aged, some hunched over, but their souls and bodies were unusually solid, and a thick aura of ghostly energy enveloped them.】
【Xiao Jibo could clearly feel that these five ghostly beings blocking his path were all at the early stage of the Nether Ghost Realm.】
【Tsk tsk tsk, although not the highest realm at the moment.】
【But five Nether Ghost Realm elders appearing together was still rare.】
【Moreover, they all shared the same feature: their eyes were pitch black with no sclera visible, giving a very eerie impression.】
【Xiao Jibo, however, showed no fear.】
【He even commented with interest.】
【“The Five Elders of Kumu Cave Ghost Dao, rumored to jointly perform array formations capable of killing Ghost Lords.”】
【“They have been famous seniors in the Nether Realm for a long time.”】
【“Getting them all together is truly difficult.”】
【“I’m really puzzled, though — how exactly did the Divine Control Mind Technique spread?”】
【Hearing this, Ye Yu’s figure appeared not far away.】
【Indeed, these Five Elders of Kumu Cave Ghost Dao were exactly the ones he had just controlled using the Divine Control Mind Technique.】
【This was already the limit of controlling high-level ghostly beings.】
(At the mid stage of the Earth Ghost Realm, one could control at most four ghosts one major realm above oneself. Now at the early Heaven Ghost Realm, it was possible to control up to five.)
【Back then, when Ye Yu saw through Jiao Hekang’s vision that Xiao Jibo had returned,】
【he knew that the secret of the Divine Control Mind Technique could not be hidden.】
【Xiao Jibo would sooner or later suspect him.】
【So naturally, Ye Yu had to prepare in advance.】
【He had actively come near Dingling City.】
【This was the only way.】
【Xiao Jibo’s breakthrough speed was too surprising. In less than a hundred years, he had crossed two major realms in succession — no doubt, he was a genius.】
【Ghost Lord Realm!】
【The highest realm currently in the Nether Realm.】
【Its terrifying destructive power was unimaginable.】
【For the safety of his wife Ying Naiyan and elder Deng Ye Dongfang,】
【Ye Yu decided it was safer to move the battlefield elsewhere.】
【Thus, the current scene came about.】
【Facing Xiao Jibo’s inquiry, Ye Yu spoke softly: “What is there to be puzzled about?”】
【“Wasn’t it you who arranged for Jiao Hekang to frame me and that I had mastered the Divine Control Mind Technique?”】
【“Since you all say I can, I naturally have to admit it.”】
【“And is the Divine Control Mind Technique really that difficult?”】
【Hearing this, Xiao Jibo’s expression turned sour.】
【Was Ye Yu not directly insulting him to his face?】
【Xiao Jibo had spent decades trying to understand this ghost technique but had only just barely entered its basics. At most, he could control ghostly beings two major realms lower /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ than himself.】
【And only when they were completely unprepared.】
【It had to be said, this was basically useless.】
【So after practicing for some time, Xiao Jibo had completely given up on this technique.】
【He never expected Ye Yu not only to know it, but also to be able to control five ghosts of higher realms than himself.】
【That alone proved】
【Ye Yu had cultivated the Divine Control Mind Technique to its pinnacle.】
【Otherwise, he couldn’t have done it.】
【Unbelievable.】
【Though full of questions in his heart, Xiao Jibo didn’t foolishly continue to ask.】
【Because he knew clearly that even if he asked, he wouldn’t get answers from Ye Yu.】
【It was better to severely injure him and use soul-searching techniques — much more straightforward and effective.】
【Thinking this,】
【Xiao Jibo’s mind moved.】
【Endless ghostly energy began to spread around him.】
【He mockingly said, “I hope your cries for mercy won’t be too loud.”】
【At this, Ye Yu snorted coldly and immediately commanded the Five Elders of Kumu Cave Ghost Dao to start attacking.】
【Honestly, to deal with these five elders,】
【Ye Yu really put in a lot of effort.】
【They had been famous for a long time and once flourished for a lengthy period.】
【As Xiao Jibo said, these five elders together really had set records for killing Nether Ghost Realm beings.】
【That’s why Ye Yu had chosen them.】
【The Five Elders of Kumu Cave Ghost Dao gathered their hands to form a Dao seal.】
【In an instant, a huge colorful vortex appeared under Xiao Jibo’s feet.】
【Immediately after, a surging suction force followed.】
【Xiao Jibo wanted to dodge and leave,】
【but above him appeared a huge dazzling formation.】
【A massive number of resentful souls howled out like a flood, instantly engulfing Xiao Jibo.】
【And over time, the number of these resentful souls kept increasing.】
【An extremely dense death aura spread.】
【Even Ye Yu, standing some distance away, felt the Qi flow inside his body become obstructed.】
【He watched the flood of resentful souls surge toward the colorful vortex below.】
【Could it really end this simply?】
【In fact, no.】
【A dazzling black light suddenly appeared.】
【The flood of resentful souls completely shattered, along with the formation above and the colorful vortex below.】
【Then, a huge ghostly claw suddenly appeared, crushing one of the Five Elders of Kumu Cave Ghost Dao — the third elder — on the spot.】
【Xiao Jibo’s voice echoed as if coming from all directions.】
【“Do you really think these rotten fools can take me down?”】
【“That’s far too naive!”】
【Upon hearing this, Ye Yu’s expression turned serious.】
【He watched as Xiao Jibo’s figure flickered, killing these ghostly beings one by one.】
【Of course, he did not place all his hopes on these five elders.】
【The Ghost Immortal Artifact ‘Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk’ was ready to activate at any time.】
【And just then,】
【Countless red threads appeared from nowhere, instantly wrapping Xiao Jibo within. From afar, it looked like a huge cocoon.】
