Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Fortunately, the uncle did not lie to comfort her, and there was indeed no sword energy left in his chest.

"Are you relieved now?" came the voice of the uncle master.

"Ah."

Xue Qingyou nodded gently, but she did not withdraw her hand immediately. Instead, she felt the strong heartbeat of her master's uncle. Suddenly, she raised her head, and her pair of pure white eyes silently stared at the handsome face of her master's uncle, which was much more mature than before:

"Uncle Master, don't do this again next time. You should think more about yourself. This is too dangerous..."

Yin You felt warm in his heart and said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, I am very afraid of death. Since I chose to do that, it means I am sure of it."

"Moreover……"

Yin You paused for a moment, stretched out a hand, and gently scratched Xue Qingyou's upturned nose with his fingers: "That sword spirit is too abominable. It actually possessed my nephew's body for more than 20 years. She must be driven to pieces."

Xue Qingyou was stunned.

"Qingyou?"

Seeing that she suddenly froze and stared at him blankly, Yin You thought something was wrong and called out to her softly.

Before he could make any move, Xue Qingyou suddenly woke up, subconsciously took a few steps back, left the bed and stood up.

"What's wrong with you?" Yin You looked puzzled.

Xue Qingyou's pretty face turned slightly red, and she spoke in a mosquito-like voice: "I... I'm fine, Uncle Master... I... I'm going to go back and rest first, bye!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran out of the room, out of the corridor, and onto the deck.

"Huh...huh..."

At this time, Xue Qingyou's cheeks were already flushed, and even her ears were stained with a layer of crimson.

She stretched out her hands and patted her cheeks hard, trying to suppress the shyness that was welling up in her heart, but it was of no use.

Looking up at the vast white fog in front of her, Xue Qingyou couldn't help but sigh:

"Wow... I wanted to be with Uncle Master..."

Chapter 275: Sudden Thunder Tribulation

"Is this girl... shy?"

In the room, Yin You was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to circulate his mind and look inward at his body.

The first place Yin You wanted to look at was naturally the origin of his soul in his mind.

Previously, he followed Tian Nai's plan and deliberately relaxed his spiritual defense, allowing the spirit of the ancestral sword to enter his body at will.

After the spirit of the Ancestral Sword took over his body, it immediately headed towards the origin of his soul. To be honest, Yin You was a little panicked at that moment, because he had no idea what Tian Zhen had up his sleeve and he simply trusted the other party.

Fortunately, Tian Zhen did not disappoint him. When the sword spirit of the ancestral sword was about to devour the essence of his soul, some unexpected changes suddenly occurred. The soul began to self-disintegrate and completely dissipated in just a few breaths. The remaining soul fragments instead strengthened the essence of Yin You's soul.

After absorbing and refining these soul fragments, Yin You obtained some memory fragments of the Ancestral Sword Spirit, from which he learned about her origins.

The sword spirit of the Ancestral Sword was originally a sword hunter of a certain generation of the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan. He expanded the territory for the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan and killed countless enemies. However, his roots were damaged in a great battle, cutting off his possibility of ascending. From then on, he became depressed and his sword heart was tarnished.

In her later years, she took a different approach, combining weapon-refining techniques with her own body to cultivate the sword, and she devoured the original sword spirit of the Sword Hunter Ancestor Sword and replaced it.

After waiting for countless years, she chose Xue Qingyou, who was born with a sword heart and pure sword spirit. She took advantage of the weak cultivation and turbulent state of mind of Xue Qingyou and took over her body.

However, she never expected that Xue Qingyou had already mastered the legendary sword soul that was invulnerable to all kinds of attacks. This forced her plan to seize another body to be interrupted. She could only seal Xue Qingyou's soul as a last resort, and then while controlling Xue Qingyou's body, she looked for a new target to seize.

But there was no one among the Sword Hunter Hidden Clan whom she liked, so it was more than 20 years before Yin You finally arrived, but she failed at the last step.

“Ascension… Ascension…”

After absorbing these memory fragments, Yin You showed a pensive look on his face, and muttered to himself: "Throughout the ages, countless cultivators have cultivated their entire lives just for the sake of the word "ascension". Is this so-called immortal world really so desirable?"

Yin You thought of Yin Xingsheng again, the lord of Flower City a hundred years ago. In order to ascend to the fairyland, he resolutely severed all ties with his lover, and even took the initiative to bring down the devil to the world, causing great suffering to all living beings.

However, he faked his death and escaped, living in Flower City under an assumed name for more than a hundred years. Even though Pavilion Master Qu Yueting had been staying in Flower City during that time, he had never visited her in these hundred years.

Now he has even defected to the demon world, completely transformed into a demon, and led the demon army to conquer dynasties, destroy sects, and commit countless murders.

The Tao is invisible and ruthless.

Could it be that only by eliminating selfish desires and becoming ruthless can one cultivate immortality and ascend to the upper realm?

Yin You was a little confused.

But soon, he looked back at himself and thought about why he practiced Taoism.

Is it to ascend to heaven? Or to be invincible in the world? Or to be immortal forever?

Yin You closed his eyes slightly, and images of many people appeared in his mind one after another.

Master, Aunt Liu, Uncle Ao, Yingqiu, Qingyou, Honger, Tianzhen, Uncle Xuansu, Sister Tao, Auntie...

No, neither.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a captivating light shone in them.

He just wanted to protect his master, Xuelingxu, and everything he cherished!

In an instant.

An invisible aura gushed out from Yin You.

Rumble…

Above the foggy Mist Hidden Sea, dark clouds suddenly began to gather and condense, accompanied by a slowly spreading aura of terror, and bursts of muffled thunder rang out one after another, echoing through the sky.

Swish!

Xuan Su instantly appeared on the deck and looked up at the sky.

The thick fog that had lingered in the Wuyin Sea for years suddenly shrank away, revealing a group of dark clouds as sticky as thick ink, which were chasing closely and floating above the spirit ship. From time to time, dazzling lightning resembling a dragon flashed by, followed by deafening thunder.

"Ascension Thunder Tribulation?"

Xuan Su's eyes focused and he instantly saw the truth.

Besides Yin You, who else on the boat can survive the disaster at this time?

Her heart sank and she immediately rushed to Yin You's room.

Putting aside whether or not one can survive the tribulation, this Misty Sea is not a good place to survive the tribulation. Xuan Su, who knows many secrets, knows very well that some difficult and strange things are hidden in this sea area, and the tribulation lightning is no different from a torch in the dark, exposing their location to the eyes of those monsters.

But just as Xuan Su was about to leave.

The thunder in the sky stopped suddenly, the lightning disappeared, and the dark clouds that covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles also dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, thick fog filled the sky again, and everything Xuan Su had seen before seemed to have never happened.

Xuan Su breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that Yin You had used some secret method to conceal God's will and block the thunder tribulation from affecting him. Without the person who was undergoing the tribulation, the thunder tribulation would naturally dissipate.

Fortunately, the restrictions on her spirit ship were powerful. Except for her, the owner of the spirit ship, and Yin You, the person who was undergoing the tribulation, Xue Qingyou, Qin Muyun, and Zhan Qing did not notice the unusual phenomenon that occurred in such a short period of time.

However, in order to prevent any accidents, such as the possibility that those troublesome strange creatures had already sensed the breath of the thunder tribulation and were heading towards them, Xuan Su still increased the speed of the spirit ship, and then her figure disappeared. When she appeared again, she had already arrived in Yin You's room.

"Uncle Master."

Looking at Xuan Su who suddenly appeared, Yin You quickly stood up and saluted.

He naturally guessed the purpose of his uncle's visit.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Su looked at him carefully and asked with concern.

Yin You then recounted how he absorbed the soul fragments of the ancestral sword spirit and how he thought about why he practiced Taoism.

Xuan Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "So you accidentally triggered the Ascension Thunder Tribulation while you were on your way to enlightenment?"

Yin You scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "That should be it."

He was also shocked just now, but the moment he got the answer to why he practiced Taoism, he felt his mind become clear and his whole body felt relaxed, as if he had reached the fairyland.

But the next moment, a great terror suddenly descended from the unknown, bringing with it a strong breath of death, causing Yin You's hair to stand on end and a chill to rush to his head.

In just a moment, Yin You understood where this great terror came from.

Ascension thunder tribulation!

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately cut off that trace of perception and at the same time activated his secret technique, trying his best to restrain the aura around him while blocking the detection of heaven, thus allowing the thunder tribulation to dissipate.

Xuan Su looked at his appearance and couldn't help laughing again.

"There is still time. Don't practice anymore. Take a rest. There are still a lot of things you need to do later. You need to conserve your energy so that you can face various difficulties calmly and find the right way out of them."

Xuan Su gave some instructions before disappearing and leaving.

Chapter 276 Xuan Su's Decision

Just less than half an hour.

The spirit ship left the foggy Mist Hidden Sea.

Shortly after the spirit ship left, a dilapidated ship covered with vines appeared and disappeared in the thick fog, and finally disappeared completely.

Yin You didn't have the heart to rest after all, but because of what happened just now, he had no intention of practicing for a while. After staying in the room for a while, he got up and went to the empty deck.

When he saw the spirit ship breaking through the thick fog and the warm sunlight shining on his shoulders, Yin You's originally tense mood suddenly relaxed.

"Fellow Daoist Yin You?"

Suddenly, there were light footsteps behind him, and then Zhan Qing came to his side, his eyes looking at the blue sky.

"Daoyou Zhan Qing,"

Yin You greeted him and turned to look at Zhan Qing: "What are your plans next?"

Their actions confirmed that there were indeed people within the Thirteen Hidden Clans who were secretly dealing with demons. Zhan Qing, whose identity was sensitive, was obviously not suitable to return to the Hidden Clans at this time.

Zhan Qing heard this and a distressed look appeared on his face. He sighed and said, "I don't know either."

Over the years, she has been hiding in the Star-Moon Sea, escaping from the pursuit of demons while looking for an opportunity to return to the Hidden Clan. She thought that as long as she returned to the Hidden Clan and exposed the truth about An Bingzhen's affair with the demon, she would be safe.

Little did she know that not only An Bingzhen was having an affair with the demon among the Thirteen Hidden Clans, but even powerful cultivators were involved. The Thirteen Hidden Clans were now like a den of dragons and tigers, so how could she dare to go back and fall into the trap?

But where else could she go, apart from the Thirteen Hidden Clans?

Yin You also knew her situation. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you don't have anywhere to go for the time being, how about following us?"

Zhan Qing, who was worrying about where to go, brightened up when he heard this: "Is it okay?"

Yin You smiled and nodded: "Of course."

“It’s settled then!” Zhan Qing also showed a smile on his face.

"What are you talking about? You look so happy."

At this time, Qin Muyun, dressed in white and carrying a long sword, came to the deck.

Zhan Qing explained to her with a smile.

After spending these few days together, she and Qin Muyun have become friends.

After hearing this, Qin Muyun couldn't help but feel happy for her: "That's really worth being happy about."

As she spoke, she came to the other side of Yin You, turned her head and looked at her uncle's profile.

I haven't seen you for a long time. Uncle Yin has changed a lot.

Qin Muyun's previous impression of him was still that of that young uncle with a childish face.

As the only male disciple of Xuelingxu, Qin Muyun naturally secretly paid attention to this young uncle who had a very good reputation and was popular in Xuelingxu, not to mention that Xue Qingyou, who was also a disciple of Wenjian Peak, often mentioned this uncle in front of her.

But since Yin You's first wandering in the world, Qin Muyun has never seen him again, because she also traveled around the Northern Territory in those years.

When she returned to Xueling Ruins, she learned that the ruins owner, Elder Yin Ci, and Uncle Master Yin You had all disappeared.

Qin Muyun naturally shared the same idea as most of the elders and disciples of Xuelingxu. She firmly believed that they were not dead. However, she did not expect that she would meet Uncle Yin You again not in Xuelingxu, but in the Thirteen Hidden Clans.

This made her feel emotional. Fortunately, her uncle came. Otherwise, it would be wishful thinking for her to rescue Junior Sister Qingyou on her own.

"Master Qin, what's wrong?"

Yin You noticed Qin Muyun's gaze and asked in a gentle voice.
