Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

Zong Yan's persistence far exceeded Chen Yu's imagination, so he had to be careful.    

Chen Yu no longer paid any attention to the middle-aged beauty. He hid in a corner and waited quietly.    

If it was possible, Chen Yu would have escaped the ancient battlefield immediately. However, if he fled now, other than attracting the attention of the beautiful middle-aged woman and the others, the risk would be even greater.    

The difference between the two was that the mines were limited in space and only when there were many forks in the road did Chen Yu get rid of Zong Yan. In the outside world, as an expert at the late stage of Profound Dark Stage, his speed in flying could be extremely fast and he could wander around wantonly in the direction of Ruling Spirit Sect. Once Chen Yu was caught up to, no matter how fast his legs were, they would not be able to catch up to Zong Yan who was flying in the air.    

Unless Chen Yu chose something else to flee in the direction of the Langya Sword Sect and the Qiu Martial Arts Sect, the chances of him being captured by the Profound Dark Stage experts of the two sects will increase infinitely!    

Right now, Chen Yu was in a dilemma.    

As night fell, Chen Yu stood in front of the broken window frame and watched the yin energy envelop the Ruins City, along with the Yin Demon s wantonly roaming about.    

However, compared to a month ago, this night with only a few low-leveled Yin Demon roaming about was not too dangerous.    

A night's time passed quickly. After daybreak, Chen Yu saw the middle-aged beautiful woman and the two young men begin their separate searches within the Ruins City.    

Chen Yu was somewhat suspicious of the actions of these Sword Sect Warriors. He did not think that Zuo Yan'er would leave any clues behind in the Ruins City.    

However, the fact was out of Chen Yu's expectation. When it was almost noon, a long whistle and a sharp cry suddenly sounded in the direction that one of the young men was looking for, as if he had discovered something.    

The middle-aged woman and another young man sped away from the other area.    

Chen Yu was curious and he jumped down from his hiding spot and approached.    

When they arrived nearby, they discovered that they were in a relatively undamaged hall.    

Chen Yu steeled his heart and directly entered a tower that was only a few hundred meters away from the main hall. Although he couldn't see the situation in the main hall, he could clearly see everything outside and even hear their conversation.    

Not long after, the three of them walked out of the main hall with worried expressions on their faces.    

The middle-aged beauty took out a jade token and crushed it.    

From within the broken jade token, a small sword shadow appeared. It didn't have any attacking power, but it directly flew into the air and shot towards the west. After passing through the valley, it disappeared, as if it had flown into a mine.    

Seeing the flying sword, Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat. He understood that the middle-aged woman was probably sending a message to her companions.    

After the transmission, the three gathered together to discuss. In the hands of the beautiful middle-aged woman, a jade hairpin had been cut in half, and she constantly caressed it as she sized it up.    

This time, when he heard everything they had to say, he was surprised.    

That hairpin was actually the hairpin Zuo Yan'er usually wore for ten minutes.    

The hairpin was missing and had been cut off, indicating that something had happened to Zuo Yan'er. However, the middle-aged woman and her group had searched the entire hall and only found some broken Yin Jade and the thick Yin Qi still lingering in the hall.    

Chen Yu thought hard and combined the three people's discussion and his understanding of the cloaked man, Chen Yu came to the conclusion that Zuo Yan'er might not have died yet!    

If he had already died, the place where the hairpin was, would most likely be where Zuo Yan'er's corpse or corpse was. But judging from the expressions of the three middle-aged women, it was obvious that they did not see Zuo Yan'er's Storage Bag.    

According to Chen Yu's knowledge, Zuo Yan'er had gone after her when she escaped. With Zuo Yan'er's strength, it was unlikely that she could escape from her clutches!    

All in all, Chen Yu was sure that Zuo Yan'er was still alive. From the looks of it, she seemed to have been captured alive and taken away!    

"Pei Aolai and Lih Heequan didn't receive such treatment. It's obvious that it's because of Zuo Yan'er's special identity. This is what the cloaked man wants!" Chen Yu thought to himself, "Could it be that the cloaked man really wants to use Zuo Yan'er as his personal maid?"    

While the middle-aged beauty was anxiously waiting and discussing, Chen Yu was concealing his presence, hiding and waiting.    

Roughly eight hours later, a sword light flashed from the valley to the west.    

Blood flashed in Chen Yu's eyes as he looked at the incoming sword radiance. His expression suddenly changed.    

With the help of the Bloodfire Eye Technique, Chen Yu could clearly see that the fat old man was standing on top of the sword spirit and holding a woman in his hand.    

Even with the Bloodfire Eye Technique, Chen Yu couldn't see the woman's face, but he could feel a sense of familiarity. He immediately knew that it was Yao Yaoh.    

Although Yao Yaoh was not captured by Zong Yan, she was captured by the practitioners of Langya Sword Sect.    

But he knew that the fat old man's strength was far from that of the middle-aged beautiful woman, he might be exposed if he was slightly careless. Thus, he had no choice but to forcefully suppress his emotions and silently recite the breathing restraining technique, restraining his aura to the limit.    

When the middle-aged woman and the others saw the sword light, they all summoned their sword spirits and flew into the air, pointing out their positions. Under the guidance of the sword spirits, the old man flew directly towards them.    

As soon as the fat old man landed on the ground, he felt the spirit dissipating. Chen Yu saw Yao Yaoh very clearly. The latter was directly thrown to the side by the old man.    

As for the chubby old man, he continued to listen to the beautiful middle-aged woman as he examined the jade hairpin with a similar anxious expression.    

Soon, the chubby old man started to interrogate Yao Yaoh with a warm expression. He didn't seem to have any intention of making things difficult for her.    

Chen Yu listened attentively, and when he heard Yao Yaoh talk about all sorts of things that happened in the mine, he realized that everything Yao Yaoh said was all true. She only concealed Chen Yu's existence and the places related to Holy Yin Fruit.    

Even so, after knowing that there was someone behind the scenes, who had captured all of the Three Sects disciples in one fell swoop, the expressions of the fat old man and the middle-aged beauty both became extremely solemn.    

At this moment, the fat old man suddenly turned his head to the east and frowned.    

With the fat old man around, Chen Yu did not dare to make any rash moves, and only guessed that someone might be coming over again.    

Very quickly, Chen Yu felt a strong strand of telepathic thoughts appear, and was about to search over from the side of the Ruins City.    

"Humph!" The fat old man snorted, and said loudly: "Who is this Ruling Spirit Sect? Langya Sword Sect Rong Qingzhi is here! "    

His voice was like thunder, filled with a terrifying pressure.    

"Late stage of the Dark World!" Chen Yu almost jumped out of the shock of the fat elder's voice. He suddenly had a clear understanding of the fat elder's strength.    

With a retract of his spiritual will, a few powerful auras flew over and landed in front of the hall.    

There were only three people who had come. Two old men and a middle-aged man that Chen Yu did not know. The two old men's auras were weaker than the fat old man's, but the middle-aged man wore a golden robe and had an extraordinary bearing, appearing to be on par with Rong Qingzhi.    

"Ruling Spirit Sect Luh Wei greets Brother Rong!" The middle-aged man cupped his hands towards Rong Qingzhi and said.    

"I didn't expect the Ruling Spirit Sect Branch Sect Master to come in person, your Ruling Spirit Sect is really impressive!" Rong Qingzhi coldly snorted and said, "Injuring my sect's elder without a word, do you want the two sects to start an all-out war?"    

"Brother Rong, what do you mean?" Luh Wei asked in confusion.    

"What do you mean? Do you pretend not to know what's going on? Where's the person who did it? Why didn't he come out, and where did he hide himself? " Rong Qingzhi said coldly: "My sect's Elder He only asked a single question and he was already injured. Right now, hiding, are you planning to capture all of my Langya Sword Sect's martial practitioners in one fell swoop?"    

It was obvious that Rong Qingzhi was not in a good mood. It was no wonder as he had just heard from Yao Yaoh that all the Three Sects disciples had been annihilated. He did not know whether Zuo Yan'er was dead or alive, so naturally, he was not in a good mood.    

Luh Wei said, "Is there any misunderstanding?"    

"Misunderstanding?" Rong Qingzhi sneered: "It's fine if you don't investigate the truth, but you attacked Elder He in a single move. This time, all the Three Sects disciples in the ancient battlefield were completely wiped out, could it be that you guys are the culprits?"    

"Completely wiped out?" Luh Wei was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in shock. The expressions of the two elders behind him also changed at the same time. They knew that there was a change in the ancient battlefield and they saw many disciples' bones along the way, but they didn't expect the situation to be this serious.    

"What? Don't you know about it?" Rong Qingzhi sneered and said, "Then what did you come here for?"    

"Royal Elder Lu!" Yao Yaoh suddenly spoke, "Yunxiu Peak's Yao Yaoh pays her respect to Great Master Lu!"    

"Yun Xiufeng's disciple?" Luh Wei did not know Yao Yaoh. At this moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at Yao Yaoh. Seeing that Yao Yaoh's cultivation base was sealed, his body flashed as he dashed toward Yao Yaoh.    

However, Rong Qingzhi quickly stood in front of Luh Wei and said: "This girl is the only survivor of Three Sects, she found her in the mines for me. There are a lot of things I need to ask him, Sect Master Lu should retreat!"    

Luh Wei's expression changed, and said coldly: "Since you are my Ruling Spirit Sect disciple, you should be under our care. Brother Rong, if you have any questions, you can ask them clearly.    

"You won't let him go?" Rong Qingzhi said coldly, "Luh Wei, you are right. I am not letting go of him. My great miss Langya Sword Sect is unknown whether she is alive or dead, my Three Sects disciples are all gone, only this woman is still alive. If I don't make this clear, this old man will definitely not let him go. If you want to snatch someone from me, just do it. I'm afraid that if I were to get involved with her, you will perish! "    

Luh Wei was about to explode, but upon hearing this, his expression froze.    

The threat in Rong Qingzhi's words was too obvious.    

In fact, Rong Qingzhi also had no reason to let Yao Yaoh go. If Yao Yaoh was really the only survivor of the ancient battlefield, taking into account the competition between the sects, he would definitely be in control of the situation as well.    

"Rong Qingzhi, the person who deducted my Ruling Spirit Sect in front of us!" Luh Wei also wouldn't give up so easily, and said with a sinister tone: "Do you think my Ruling Spirit Sect is so easy to bully?"    

"Your Ruling Spirit Sect is easily bullied by my people. Hmph, now that I've bullied you, are you not willing?" Rong Qingzhi sneered.    

"Elder Rong!" At this time, the beautiful middle-aged woman came out to smooth things over and said, "My small injuries are nothing serious. My whereabouts are the most important! Master Lu, this disciple of your sect, please follow us. When that time comes, we will return her to your sect! "    

Rong Qingzhi looked slightly pleased.    

Luh Wei muttered to himself. He did not agree or oppose and said, "Allow me to understand the situation!"    

Inside the tower, Chen Yu's mind was spinning rapidly as he considered whether to walk out and rely on Luh Wei's wings for protection.    

Right at this moment, another sword spirit covered the sky and shot over. It was another Profound Dark Stage expert who had come over.
