Ye Tian and Su Lingxi sensed each other's presence and immediately flew towards each other.
Before long, the two met. At this moment, Ye Tian felt a faint divine sense clinging to them. He sneered and said to Su Lingxi, "Sister Xi, you came out yourself. Do you think I would stand by and watch you fall into danger?"
Su Lingxi sighed softly, "I was thinking of shaking him off, to prevent him from discovering you."
Ye Tian replied, "Since he's already targeted us, it's too difficult to shake him off. Sister Xi, come with me. If this person has malicious intent, I will definitely slay him!"
Su Lingxi looked at the murderous Ye Tian and nodded gently. She didn't ask further and said, "Alright!"
The two walked side by side, soaring through the air. Their speed was immense, and they flew so high that no one could spot them.
However, no matter how fast they flew, that divine sense never disappeared. It seemed the other party was continuously tracking them.
After flying for over an hour, Ye Tian entered the Southern Border region and arrived near the Wu Cave. He had contacted the Wu Ancestor and had a method of communication. He immediately said, "Senior Wu Ancestor, someone is pursuing me. Can you help me kill this scoundrel?"
Who was the Wu Ancestor? He was the mountain god of this place, and his power in this region was comparable to a Celestial Immortal!
The Wu Ancestor regarded Ye Tian as a friend and immediately replied, "If that person dares to come, I will suppress him and leave him for you to deal with."
Ye Tian said, "Thank you!"
Ye Tian flew a bit further inward and then landed on a large rock with Su Lingxi. He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the distance.
After a few minutes, a black shadow approached from afar and flew before them.
It was a cultivator in green, dressed in Ming Dynasty attire, with the appearance of a scholar. He held a book in his hand and had an abacus hanging from his waist. He stopped thirty meters away, hovering in mid-air.
The scholar in green smiled and said, "Do you think the two of you joining forces can escape this calamity?"
Ye Tian asked sternly, "Friend, you've been chasing us all this way. What exactly do you want?"
The scholar in green chuckled, "What else? Of course, to kill you... no, to kill you and take all your resources. As for this female cultivator, if she is willing to become my Dao companion, she can live."
Ye Tian sneered, "Old man, are you worthy?"
The scholar said indifferently, "Little brat, before I kill you, I'll let you know my name. My Dao name is Bloodhand Scholar. Back in the Ming Dynasty, I was already a Human Immortal."
Ye Tian sighed, "Bloodhand Scholar, are you sure you want to do this?"
The Bloodhand Scholar chuckled, "Little brat, you're scared, aren't you?"
Ye Tian shook his head, "I just pity you. With such high cultivation, you must be at least in the Yin-Yang Realm, right? Why bother to ruin yourself?"
The Bloodhand Scholar sneered, "I ruin myself? Killing you is like slaughtering chickens and dogs. How can I ruin myself?"
Ye Tian's expression darkened and he said, "Wu Ancestor!"
"Boom!"
A terrifying power descended, and the phantoms of several mountains appeared above the Bloodhand Scholar's head. He let out a scream, his body shrinking by half, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, a Nascent Soul, half a foot tall, flew out from the top of his head, its expression filled with pain.
Ye Tian walked over, took out his staff, circled him three times, and chanted spells as he walked.
These spells were what he had comprehended from the staff. He intended to sacrifice this Nascent Soul to the Valkyrie to gain the power she bestowed.
As his chanting grew louder, the Bloodhand Scholar cried out repeatedly, "Little beast, what are you doing? If you dare to touch me, I will not let you go!"
Ye Tian ignored him and continued chanting until green flames ignited around the Bloodhand Scholar's Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul wailed in the flames and gradually turned into nothingness, indicating a successful sacrifice.
Simultaneously, the Valkyrie bestowed a surge of power. This power was extremely pure and yang, it was pure Yang energy!
The pure Yang energy shone upon Ye Tian's Nascent Soul, causing it to smoke all over. This was the impurities and evil energy within his Nascent Soul being forced out by the pure Yang energy.
