However, Lu Ye still shook his head faintly.

Seeing this, a hint of disappointment formed in the heart of Red Cloud Fairy.

Is it still not possible?

Could he be a noble Martial Arts Cultivator who will not bow for five Source Crystals?

By using Source Crystals to make him talk, am I actually insulting him?

At this point, Red Cloud Fairy didn't know how to make him willing to communicate.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a moment, Red Cloud Fairy suddenly heard a very low voice...

"Need more money."

As if Source Crystals could not possibly lack allure for Lu Ye.

Red Cloud Fairy was initially stunned, then somewhat delighted, and felt... a bit at a loss for words.

So it wasn't an insult... it was just not enough offered?

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Cyan Thunder Sect, the majestic main peak pierced the clouds, deep within the mountains, sporadic thunderous roars were hidden. This was a small Thunder Pool deep within Cyan Thunder Sect's Forbidden Land.

At this time, the Cyan Thunder Sect's grand hall was in a somber, tense state.

Just now, the disciple guarding the Soul Hall came to report, looking as if he had lost a parent...

The Life Soul Plate of Supreme Elder Su Yan... shattered!

The Life Soul Plate pertains to a person's life; once shattered, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

To put it plainly, he is more dead than dead.

Su Yan, a Martial Arts Grandmaster Fifth Layer, was the sect's second strongest combatant!

He perished so straightforwardly after one trip outside.

This was an incredibly heavy blow for the entire Cyan Thunder Sect as their top-tier combat strength was drastically reduced.

Qingxuanzi sat with a solemn face on the chair, playing with two meditation beads.

But the two beads had long been deformed beyond recognition, not shattered merely due to being held together by terrifying Grandmaster's Source Qi.

"Sect Leader, what exactly happened? Has the information from the scene been transmitted? How could our Supreme Elder, a Martial Arts Grandmaster Fifth Layer, fall so easily?!"

Finally, an impatient Elder spoke up, throwing out a stream of questions.

Losing a Grandmaster Fifth Layer, Cyan Thunder Sect's strength would decrease by at least ten to twenty percent!

Qingxuanzi glanced at the Communication Jade Token, speaking in a calm tone: "Don't panic; the sky won't fall."

Moments later, the Jade Token emitted a faint gleam, instantly drawing the attention of all Elders.

After carefully listening to and understanding all the information transmitted, Qingxuanzi's eyes flickered with astonishment.

From the information relayed from the scene, unless Qingxuanzi, being a Grandmaster Sixth Layer, had misheard, one might think they misheard.

With Blood Evil at the front and the Supreme Elder unexpectedly attacking from behind with a fatal strike!

Qingxuanzi was not afraid of such a siege by two Grandmasters at this level, given time, their outcome would be similar.

What shocked him was, they were actually counter-killed by a single sword strike?!

Even Qingxuanzi, already at Grandmaster Sixth Layer, couldn't achieve this step!

At most, he could accurately target that Grandmaster Second Layer, and kill him to weaken the attacker's combat strength.

To swiftly kill both of them... Qingxuanzi's heart churned; it might take Red Cloud Sect's Red Cloud Fairy, with half-step Grandmaster Eighth Layer strength, to possibly replicate!

Why would such a terrifyingly powerful Martial Arts Grandmaster become an enemy of their Cyan Thunder Sect?

At this moment, Qingxuanzi felt a slight pang of regret.

If he'd known this person would rise so quickly and become so problematic... the grudge of expelling a certain Elder from the Secret Realm could easily have been forgotten.

Without holding a grudge, nothing like the Supreme Elder's assassination attempt would have happened.

Yet, in this world, where can one find regret medicine to buy?

Fortunately, Qingxuanzi learned from the reports.

After killing the Supreme Elder, the person seemed to be considerably worn out, not even unveiling Su Yan's face mask, immediately dealt with the body.

Subsequently, along with another person seemingly a female in black garb, left the vicinity of the Yunlan River.

This situation was within Qingxuanzi's expectations, a Heaven-Shocking Sword with a strike causing three kilometers of Sword Qi to soar, slaying two Martial Arts Grandmasters!

This must have been an extremely terrifying martial arts swordsmanship secret technique! The cost of using it couldn't be small.

If Qingxuanzi were to deploy the Cyan Thunder Sect's sacred artifact... not caring about the cost, pour all his strength into it, he could also slash with one sword a Grandmaster Seventh Layer or even... a Grandmaster Eighth Layer!

Qingxuanzi's eyes flickered for a long while, weighing whether to bring out the Celestial Nirvana Cyan Thunder Sword!

While called a sword, Qingxuanzi knew it was more akin to a Forbidden Artifact!

Each activation required a huge amount of resources, including... Source Crystals!

After contemplating for a long time, Qingxuanzi eventually shook his head.

Each time the Celestial Nirvana Cyan Thunder Sword is activated, it takes extensive time to recuperate afterward.

In this period, the potency of the Celestial Nirvana Cyan Thunder Sword is below thirty percent at its peak.

If the person lastly killed the Supreme Elder and exposed Su Yan's identity.

Causing Cyan Thunder Sect to lose face throughout the Northern Territory of Xuanzhou, potentially spreading to the other three territories...

Then, Qingxuanzi would stop at nothing, calling upon the sacred sect treasure to thoroughly annihilate them!

For now... Qingxuanzi hesitated a bit, ultimately choosing to let go.

Since the opponent had not discovered Su Yan's identity, chances are they didn't know from which power Su Yan hailed.

Now that Three Yin Sect and Five Poison Sect are watching outside greedily, having heard they've even reached into the Southern Territory...

The Celestial Nirvana Cyan Thunder Sword to guard the sect should always be kept at peak condition to handle any sudden contingency well.

...

Meanwhile, on the Yunlan River Plain, eventually, Lu Ye and Red Cloud Fairy agreed upon seven Source Crystals.

Before leaving, Lu Ye also found the Three Yin Sect Saint Son about to leave, and "borrowed" two Source Crystals from him.

Fishing out two Source Crystals, Three Yin Saint Son felt heartache: "No need to return it, just consider it this Saint's... my gift to you."

Clearly, a few months back, everyone was still at Innate Ninth Layer, striving hard to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Now, months had passed, he, Three Yin Saint Son, was still striving... and this person was already capable of slashing two Grandmasters with a sword!

This God of Slaughter came to borrow Source Crystals; Three Yin Saint Son didn't believe he genuinely intended to pay them back, evidently just here to fleece me.

So, since I'm being fleeced regardless, might as well maintain dignity and offer directly!

"You have great potential; it's just that you joined the wrong sect." Under the face mask, Lu Ye said blandly.

Three Yin Saint Son: "..."

Subsequently, Lu Ye glanced at Red Cloud Fairy, who followed him over in black, and softly said: "Let's go."

In the next second, two silhouettes vanished like phantoms.

The Three Yin Sect Saint Son wiped the sweat off his forehead, muttering: "That God of Slaughter's companion seems to be a Female Cultivator? Such a powerful aura!"

Elsewhere, Jiang Lingyue stood on tiptoe, watching as the two black-clad figures disappeared in moments, exclaiming: "That mysterious Martial Arts Grandmaster left with someone... and that person seems older than elder sister!"

Hearing this, Jiang Qingge's face turned dark immediately.
