Lu Ye fully recovered after resting for a day. Although Ye Liuli’s restorative power wasn’t as great, she was generally fine.

 

They were ready to return to Tyrant Blade Manor to get their revenge the next day. However, when they were getting some rest at night, Yi Yi, who had been keeping guard, discovered these cultivators.

 

After that, Lu Ye and Ye Liuli went looking for them.

 

These cultivators were elated that the two of them had revealed themselves. They were aware of the cultivation of the Ye siblings. One of them was a Sixth-Order Master while the other had just ascended to the Cloud River Realm. All of them were more powerful than the Ye siblings, so they didn’t think the latter could pose any threat to them.

 

The moment they registered the siblings’ presence, they got to their feet and charged forward.

 

“Take care of yourself.”

 

Ye Liuli was still anxious when she heard what Lu Ye said. The next moment, the man disappeared from beside her and crashed into the enemies like a tiger.

 

Under the Moonlight, Saber Lights slashed across the night sky like meteors as blood rain descended on the ground.

 

At the same time, the cultivators were heard shrieking.

 

Ye Liuli looked dazedly at Lu Ye, feeling as though she was in a dream.

 

The Manor Master of Tyrant Blade Manor, Ye Ying, had six Sons and one Daughter, and they were all brilliant. However, it wasn’t certain which one of them had the best aptitude.

 

Ye Six had ventured into the outside world since he was sixteen. Normally, he would only return to Tyrant Blade Manor one to two times every year.

 

Therefore, even though Ye Liuli was his younger Sister, she didn’t know how powerful he truly was.

 

Previously, Lu Ye flared up in the cave and killed a Seventh-Order Body-tempering Cultivator with three strikes, and she found it inconceivable. However, she didn’t read too much into it at that time. She just thought that Lu Ye had used a Secret Technique or something.

 

However, it now seemed that it was his true power, not some kind of Secret Technique.

 

She saw Lu Ye charging forward with his saber. Although he was dealing with four powerful enemies on his own, he wasn’t afraid. Moreover, he managed to kill one of them with just one attack.

 

His incredible blade technique was similar to Tyrant Blade Technique, but there seemed to be some differences.

 

While she was in her thoughts, she heard another person shrieking as the saber slashed across his chest. His heart was seen beating inside the huge wound. It was apparent that he wouldn’t live long.

 

As the Saber Lights flickered, Lu Ye pounced on the third person. Faced with the immense pressure, the person’s face turned livid as his Spiritual Power became sluggish.

 

He had never dealt with an opponent like him before.

 

It was said that Tyrant Blade Technique was domineering, and the user could potentially defeat a stronger opponent. However, Lu Ye was ridiculously powerful.

 

[Is Ye Six actually a Human?]

 

His cultivation showed that he was indeed a Sixth-Order Cloud River Realm Master, so he was supposedly weaker than all of them. However, as he wielded his dark saber that seemed able to devour the Moonlight, they were powerless to counterattack. They were like a bunch of chicks that waited to be slaughtered.

 

The Spiritual Power he felt coming from Lu Ye was horrifying. The other party’s speed and angles of wielding his saber made it hard for him to counterattack. After two breaths of time, his purlicues broke apart, and his Spiritual Power was in turmoil.

 

At that moment, he knew he was doomed.

 

While he was in his thoughts, the last person gritted his teeth and pounced on Ye Liuli.

 

He was lucky as he hadn’t been targeted by Lu Ye. Seeing how ferocious Lu Ye was, he knew he was unable to defeat him. If he wanted to survive, he had to capture Ye Liuli and hold her hostage so that he would have a chance to flee.

 

Although Ye Six was powerful, it was unlikely that Ye Liuli was equally mighty.

 

It had to be said that this person was quick-witted. In such a despairing situation, he soon found a solution to save his life.

 

Seeing that the man was charging towards her, Ye Liuli realised his intention. She knew that she wasn’t a match for the other party, but she didn’t want to be a burden to Lu Ye. Therefore, she turned around and ran away without hesitation.

 

Just then, a golden arc was seen coming right at the enemy. Ye Liuli turned around and saw Yi Yi standing in that direction. Spiritual Power surged between her fair hands, and as that happened, a series of golden arcs shot forward.

 

“Sister-in-law!” Ye Liuli was ecstatic.

 

When she came over to this place with Lu Ye earlier, Yi Yi was nowhere to be seen. That was because Yi Yi had been monitoring this place and was ready to contact Lu Ye at any moment.

 

Upon registering Yi Yi’s presence, Ye Liuli ran towards the young girl.

 

Yi Yi was shocked when she was called “Sister-in-law”, and even her spell technique faltered. On the other hand, Lu Ye’s attack involuntarily slowed down as well.

 

[What did I just hear?]

 

Just then, a growl reverberated across the forest as Amber leapt into existence. The cultivator already found it difficult to deal with Yi Yi’s attacks, and after he was astounded by Amber’s growl, his vitality undulated.

 

When he came to his senses, he was already lying on the ground with Amber on top of him. Amber’s eyes seemed able to take his soul away.

 

It was Amber’s innate ability to stun one’s soul with its growl. It had helped Lu Ye a lot when they were on the Spirit Creek Battlefield. Now that Amber’s power had increased tremendously, its ability had also become mightier.

 

Although the person was a Sixth-Order Master, he was still astonished by the growl.

 

He initially wanted to resist, but a figure came into his sight just then. The person gently swung the blood-soaked saber in his hand and placed it back into the sheath.

 

No noise of a battle or any shriek was heard. The fight had ended just like that.

 

The cultivator was horrified upon realising that all three of his companions were killed. Lu Ye’s power far exceeded anyone’s imagination. It could even be said that he was as powerful as a Ninth-Order Master.

 

“Please spare my life, Sir!”

 

Since his survival depended on the other party, he begged for mercy without hesitation.

 

Under the night sky, Lu Ye looked down at the cultivator and said impassively, “If you want to live, prove your worth to me.”

 

“Just ask me anything. I’ll tell you everything I know. I just hope that you’ll spare my life.” The person was clever. He knew that Lu Ye wasn’t unable to kill him. The man didn’t end his life because he had questions to ask.

 

The person’s attempt to capture Ye Liuli when he realised that the situation wasn’t in their favour showed how clever he was.

 

“However, I need assurance. Please make a Heart Demon Oath.” Certainly, the person wouldn’t believe Lu Ye’s verbal promise. There was no such thing as Heavenly Oath in Soaring Dragon Boundary, but a Heart Demon Oath was something similar. It wasn’t very restrictive, but it was better than nothing.

 

“If you’re not willing to make an oath, just kill me right away.” He closed his eyes upon finishing his words, as though he was ready to go to Hell.

 

He had been tactfully dealing with the situation. It had to be said that he had the best response in such a crisis.

 

However, his nervous expression showed that he wasn’t as confident as he sounded.

 

“Alright.” Lu Ye directly made a Heart Demon Oath. “Can you tell me now?”

 

The cultivator surnamed Xu was surprised that Lu Ye had done it without hesitation, so it took him some time to come to his senses. Since the other party had made an oath, he would be killed if he still refused to cooperate.

 

“What questions do you have?”

 

“Tell me everything you know.”

 

As the person narrated the entire story, Lu Ye appeared dispassionate while Ye Liuli was in disbelief, as though she couldn’t accept what she had just heard. She shook her head and said, “No way! How did that even happen?”

 

Yi Yi wrapped her arms around the young girl’s shoulders.

 

“That’s all I know.” Cultivator Xu looked nervously at Lu Ye upon finishing his words.

 

Lu Ye nodded. “In that case, you may go to Hell now.”

 

“What?” Cultivator Xu realised he was in danger, but he soon lost all his senses as a Saber Light flashed across his eyes.

 

Lu Ye retracted his saber with an icy expression.

 

Ye Six had made the Heart Demon Oath, so it had nothing to do with Lu Ye.

 

Ye Liuli was sobbing while Yi Yi consoled her. Meanwhile, Lu Ye remained in the same spot and fell deep in thought.

 

When he entered Myriad Beast Domain previously, Xia Qianqian told him that everything he saw in a Hidden Realm must’ve happened before, but it was reenacted using a technique they could never understand. Therefore, the people he came across in a Hidden Realm might not be alive. They might be the silhouettes of a particular bygone era, but Outsiders like them were unable to see through such things.

 

Moreover, cultivators would usually enter a Hidden Realm when something major was happening in the world.

 

Lu Ye initially thought that the destruction of Tyrant Blade Manor would lead to something astounding. For example, it might affect the current affairs in Soaring Dragon Boundary.

 

However, upon hearing Cultivator Xu’s words, he realised he was mistaken.

 

If what Cultivator Xu had said was true, the destruction of Tyrant Blade Manor was caused by a feud between the two Brothers.

 

Such an incident wasn’t something major in the Boundary. Although the incident was ridiculous, it was possible for such a thing to happen, given how complex Human nature was.

 

Even though Tyrant Blade Manor was established by Ye Ying, there was a Second Manor Master.

 

The person was none other than Ye Ying’s younger Brother, Ye Xiong, though he was born to a different Mother.

 

Ye Xiong was Ye Six’s biological Uncle. When Lu Ye entered this Hidden Realm, he received some information about the Uncle.

 

However, since Ye Six rarely stayed in Tyrant Blade Manor, he knew little about the Uncle. His impression of Ye Xiong was that he was a stern middle-aged man.

 

Ye Ying had married a woman surnamed Guo, but she passed away three months after she gave birth to Ye Liuli. Although many years passed, Ye Ying never married another woman.

 

Unlike how deeply in love Ye Ying and his Wife were, Ye Xiong was promiscuous.

 

The Brothers were not only different when it came to their love affairs, but their children were in stark contrast as well.

 

Although Ye Ying only married one woman, he had six Sons and one Daughter. On the other hand, Ye Xiong had many women, but he only had one Son, who was born with a congenital disease.

 

Even though the Brothers were not on good terms, they were not enemies either. Lu Ye couldn’t fathom what caused such a feud between the two of them.
