"Clang!"

The black scimitar was drawn, its chilling blade tracing a cold arc in the moonlight.

The two inner disciples on guard changed their expressions. They were both at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, so they could naturally sense the undisguised, overwhelming killing intent emanating from Ye Sheng.

"Ye Sheng! What do you think you're doing! Do you intend to disobey Senior Brother Yang's orders and openly betray the sect?" one of the disciples shouted, his voice stern but his voice weak.

Ye Sheng didn't answer. At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to rush out and find his younger brother!

He used the Blood Shadow Step, his figure like a ghost, and instantly appeared in front of the disciple. The Black Ridge Blade in his hand carried a tragic aura as he slashed down!

The disciple was terrified and quickly raised his sword to block.

"when!"

Swords clashed, sparks flew.

The disciple felt a tremendous force coming from the sword, which made his hands go numb and he staggered back seven or eight steps before he could barely regain his balance.

He stared at Ye Sheng in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief. How could a mere mortal martial artist at the Qi Opening Realm possess such terrifying power?

Seeing this, another disciple immediately attacked from the side, his sword flashing like a venomous snake, aiming straight for Ye Sheng's waist.

Without turning his head, Ye Sheng swung his sword backhand, striking first despite being behind.

"Wind-Breaking Blade Technique"!

The blade flashed lightly and swiftly, accompanied by a whooshing sound, and struck the disciple's wrist with precision.

"what!"

The disciple screamed in pain as his longsword flew from his hand.

Ye Sheng, seizing the advantage, pressed forward and kicked the other man in the chest, sending him flying.

In just a few breaths, Ye Sheng easily defeated two cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

This is his true strength after breaking through to the Meridian Opening Realm!

Ye Sheng did not linger in the fight. After landing a successful blow, he immediately withdrew and rushed down the mountain.

"Stop him! Don't let him get away!"

The two disciples got up from the ground, both shocked and furious, and immediately sounded the alarm.

In an instant, alarm bells rang throughout the entire Medicine King Peak.

Countless figures rushed out from various pavilions and caves.

However, most of them were low-level disciples in the Qi Condensation stage, along with some menial servants, who quickly chased after Ye Sheng in the direction he had fled.

At this moment, Ye Sheng pushed the Blood Shadow Step to its limit, his figure darting through the mountains and forests like a fleeting shadow.

He knew he had to escape the Qingyun Sword Sect as soon as possible. Otherwise, once he was targeted by a Golden Core Realm expert like Yang Zhao or Wu Fei, he would have no chance left.

"Brother, I will definitely find you!"

Ye Sheng roared inwardly, increasing his speed even further.

He rushed down Medicine King Peak, crossed the White Jade Bridge, and arrived at the sect's miscellaneous servant area.

A large number of laborers had gathered here, armed with weapons, forming a battle formation that completely blocked the road down the mountain.

Leading them were several disciples of the Enforcement Hall at the Qi Refining stage.

"Ye Sheng! You demonic spy, surrender now!" a leading disciple of the Enforcement Hall shouted sternly.

Ye Sheng stared coldly at the dense crowd before him. Without the slightest hesitation, he activated the "Burning Blood Blade Technique"!

Instantly, a violent surge of blood energy erupted from his body!

He seemed to transform into a burning meteorite, carrying an overwhelming yet tragic aura, and crashed into the crowd!

"kill!"

The blade flashed, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Ye Sheng was completely bloodthirsty, and every time he swung his black spine blade, it inevitably took a life.

His movements were unpredictable and swift, weaving through the crowd as if it were empty. Those ordinary servants were no match for him.

In an instant, screams and wails echoed throughout the valley.

Ye Sheng fought his way through the crowd.

He was covered in blood, like a demon crawling out of hell, but he also paid a heavy price.

At this moment, Ye Sheng was surrounded and attacked by the outer disciples in the Qi Condensation stage. His body was covered with wounds of all sizes, some so deep that the bone was visible, and blood was flowing incessantly. His internal energy was also being consumed rapidly.

The immense consumption and backlash of the "Burning Blood Blade Technique" also began to take effect in Ye Sheng's body, causing his internal organs to ache as if they were on fire.

"Stop him! Don't let him get away!"

More and more sect servants and low-ranking disciples surrounded him from all directions, and Ye Sheng felt his consciousness beginning to blur.

Just as he was about to collapse from exhaustion, a figure in blue suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was Shen Qingqiu. She looked at Ye Sheng, who was covered in blood, and a hint of pity flashed in her cold eyes.

"Get out of my way!" Ye Sheng roared hoarsely.

Shen Qingqiu didn't move, but shook his head and said softly, "You can't leave."

"I said, get out of the way!" Ye Sheng pointed the black scythe in his hand at her.

Shen Qingqiu looked at the desperate young man before her, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She knew that Ye Sheng was now completely blinded by rage.

I'm sorry.

She sighed and drew her longsword.

A cold, clear sword light, like a pool of autumn water, instantly struck Ye Sheng's wrist.

Ye Sheng felt a numbness in his wrist, and the Black Ridge slipped from his hand.

Immediately afterward, Shen Qingqiu leaned in and pointed a finger at his chest. A gentle surge of spiritual energy flowed into the latter's body, instantly sealing his meridians.

Ye Sheng's body went limp, his vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

……

When Ye Sheng woke up again, he found himself lying in a bumpy carriage.

He struggled to sit up and found that his wounds had been treated and he had been dressed in clean clothes.

The carriage was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a familiar, pretty face peeked in.

It is Lin Qingxue.

"You're awake?" She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Sheng wake up.

"Where...where am I?" Ye Sheng asked in a hoarse voice.

"On the way out of Qingyun City," Lin Qingxue said, "you've been unconscious for three days."

"Was it...was it you who saved me?"

"It wasn't me." Lin Qingxue shook her head. "It was Shen Qingqiu."

She then briefly recounted what had happened.

It turned out that after Shen Qingqiu subdued Ye Sheng that night, she did not hand him over to the Law Enforcement Hall, but instead found Liu Qing.

When Liu Qing learned that Ye Kai had gone missing, and that Ye Sheng had killed many low-ranking disciples and servants along the way to search for Ye Kai, she was greatly shocked.

After leaving Liuyuan, she actually began to suspect Yang Zhao's true intentions in detaining Ye Sheng.

Moreover, after learning of Ye Kai's disappearance, she became even more suspicious, wondering if it was also related to Yang Zhao.

But she had no evidence and could not openly oppose Yang Zhao.

Ultimately, on Shen Qingqiu's advice, Liu Qing decided to send Ye Sheng out of the Qingyun Sword Sect first to save his life.

So they found Lin Qingxue and, with the help of the Lin family's caravan, secretly transported the unconscious Ye Sheng out of Qingyun City.

"My father is back."

Lin Qingxue looked at Ye Sheng with a complicated expression and said, "He also brought back the 'Centennial Rotten Wood Heart'."

"But I heard from Shen Qingqiu that your younger brother has gone missing."

Upon hearing this, Ye Sheng felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart. He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anguish and self-reproach.

"Don't worry."

Lin Qingxue seemed to see through Ye Sheng's thoughts and comforted him, "I have already sent people to investigate. As long as your brother is still in the Qingyun Sword Sect, we will definitely be able to find him."

She paused, then said, "My father said that you once saved me, so he owes you a favor. If you need anything, just ask."

Ye Sheng was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looked at Lin Qingxue, and said, word by word, "I need an identity that allows me to return to the Qingyun Sword Sect openly and legitimately."

Lin Qingxue was stunned. She never expected that Ye Sheng would actually want to go back.

"Are you crazy? You killed so many people. If you go back now, you'll be committing suicide! Besides, Sister Liu Qing took a huge risk to secretly send you out."

"I must go back." Ye Sheng's eyes were unusually firm. "I must find my brother."

Lin Qingxue looked at Ye Sheng and saw something in his eyes that made her heart flutter.

She knew she could no longer persuade Ye Sheng.

"it is good."

She finally nodded and said, "I'll have my dad help you."
