As expected, Ye Yu’s tactic really worked.
When the immortal energy could no longer be sensed, the dark clouds lingered in the sky for a moment, then gradually dispersed.
This was an excellent sign.
It meant the tactic was effective.
The only flaw was that the clouds had condensed thousands of miles away, and their dispersal was very slow.
Before they completely vanished, Ye Yu would have to keep hiding his aura and maintain this posture.
But there was no other choice.
After two and a half days,
the clouds in the sky finally disappeared completely.
Ye Yu moved his body and began testing the limits of the Heavenly Dao.
In the end, he got an answer: simple, basic movements were fine, as long as he concealed his aura to the utmost, he wouldn’t attract the Heavenly Dao’s attention.
At the same time, this also meant Ye Yu lost the freedom to act.
If he was careless, the Heavenly Dao would immediately focus on him.
What was he to do?
He had to find Lu Ning and Jiang Jinhe.
They had never been to the human realm before,
so they must be unfamiliar and frightened of everything around.
Of course, Ye Yu wanted to find them quickly.
But without using immortal power, he had to search on foot.
A walking immortal from the Heavenly Realm?
No, absolutely not!
That would be too slow!
After thinking for a long time, Ye Yu finally came up with a solution:
use a Spirit Boat to fly in the human realm!
Activating the Spirit Boat required no cultivator — just enough spiritual stones for smooth passage.
This way, it would naturally not draw the Heavenly Dao’s attention.
Tsk, tsk, a perfect plan.
Ye Yu immediately took a Spirit Boat out of his storage ring.
In an instant, a massive figure appeared above.
This was the Spirit Boat Second Madam Li Ruowang had gifted him.
Even after ascending to the Heavenly Realm later,
Ye Yu had kept it intact.
Originally, he intended it as a keepsake, but unexpectedly it became very useful today.
Wonderful!
But how to board it?
Looking up at the giant Spirit Boat floating in the sky, Ye Yu fell into thought.
By evening,
when the huge Spirit Boat arrived at Qingyun Sect,
the disciples guarding outside immediately blocked its path and demanded its identity.
Ye Yu stood on the deck of the Spirit Boat, looking down, and said solemnly, "I am Ye Yu of Qingyun Sect. Open the great formation quickly, I want to..."
Before he finished speaking,
the disciples outside immediately picked up their communication stones and contacted Li Nian’an, head of the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Elder Li, someone is impersonating Senior Brother Ye Yu, attempting to forcibly enter our Qingyun Sect."
Hearing this, Ye Yu was full of question marks.
How am I impersonating?
And I never planned to barge in!
Before Ye Yu could explain,
a loud shout came from inside the main hall of Qingyun Sect.
"Not finished yet? Let me see who dares come looking for death again!"
Then, two streaks of light rapidly approached
and finally stopped steadily in front of the Spirit Boat.
The arrivals were Li Nian’an, head of the Law Enforcement Hall, and Luo Ze, sect leader of Qingyun Sect.
Both were full of anger but froze simultaneously upon seeing Ye Yu.
"Surprised, aren’t you? But I really have come back!"
Ye Yu forced out his gentlest smile,
hoping to reminisce with these two seniors about old times.
But unexpectedly,
he was met with two blades of brilliant sword light.
"This sect leader’s surprise my ass! Audacious thief, daring to disguise as our sect disciple! Do you think Qingyun Sect’s law swords are ineffective?"
Luo Ze also summoned his life sword.
The dazzling sword light immediately slashed at Ye Yu.
The force was so great that the deck of the Spirit Boat instantly shattered.
Luo Ze and Li Nian’an thought this would end the fight.
But unexpectedly,
Ye Yu still stood firm, completely unharmed, as if the two sword lights had only struck the Spirit Boat.
Wait, what was going on?
While Luo Ze and Li Nian’an pondered this,
dark clouds gathered again in the sky.
Ye Yu was shocked.
He knew very well
those two sword lights had truly struck his body.
But their power had all been absorbed by his Four Elements Ink Bamboo Robe, causing no harm.
But this was a highly irregular move!
The Four Elements Ink Bamboo Robe automatically circulated immortal energy,
which instantly caused the Heavenly Dao to lock onto Ye Yu.
Without exception, if it happened again, the power of the Heavenly Dao would descend.
By then, forget if he could still survive.
The entire Qingyun Sect would be utterly destroyed.
So Ye Yu immediately shouted loudly,
"Stop! Don’t fight anymore, or the whole sect will be in danger!"
"Audacious thief, not only impersonating our sect disciple but also recklessly cursing?
Take another sword from me!"
Luo Ze snorted coldly and prepared to summon the law sword again.
Li Nian’an also formed a sword formation hand seal.
The law sword above became a blazing sun’s shadow.
Clearly preparing a powerful attack!
Seeing this, Ye Yu truly panicked, quickly explaining,
"Elder Li, I’m not impersonating anyone. If you don’t ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) believe me, listen to my explanation.
Do you remember the scene when you begged me?"
Hearing this, Li Nian’an’s right hand suddenly trembled.
Oh? The sect leader actually begged Ye Yu?
What a surprise!
Luo Ze’s face turned dark as he coldly snorted,
"Complete nonsense. As Qingyun Sect’s sect leader, how could I have begged a mere disciple?"
Seeing this was working,
Ye Yu loudly said,
"Back then, you did everything you could to keep me apart from Yun Roumu. I remember everything you did! Later, when Yun Roumu disappeared, you begged me..."
Before Ye Yu finished speaking,
Luo Ze immediately set up a silencing formation
and put away his law sword, saying solemnly,
"Enough, no need to say more. I’m beginning to believe you really are Ye Yu."
Li Nian’an raised an eyebrow slightly.
Oh, never thought the sect leader, so kind and sage-like,
had actually done a ‘breaking up the lovers’ act?
Completely unexpected.
And had begged Ye Yu too.
Interesting!
With the silencing barrier in place,
Li Nian’an got mischievous and feigned seriousness:
"Sect leader, it’s a bit rash to decide he’s Ye Yu from just a few words.
Why not let him finish his story?
Then we can cross-check it."
"Ah, no need!"
Luo Ze immediately rejected Li Nian’an’s suggestion.
But seeing Li Nian’an’s burning gaze,
he slightly turned and continued solemnly,
"Ahem, I don’t believe him because of what he said.
It’s because I recognized his voice.
Ye Yu’s voice is very unique, so I identified him.
As for those ‘actions’ and ‘begging’, I know nothing. They’re all fabrications!"
Li Nian’an fought back a smile and said seriously,
"Oh? Is that so?"
Ye Yu clasped his hands behind his back confidently,
"If Elder Li doesn’t believe, I can tell you everything about how we used to interact.
Back then, you often spoke up for your disciple Wei Aoshu."
