We walked towards the outskirts of Sword Pavilion, and after a moment's hesitation, Dongfang Yuqing followed us.
"Master, are we just letting them go like this?" Zhang Xing, bleeding from his abdomen, asked indignantly.
"What else can we do? Even with the Seven Star Sword, you couldn't defeat Dongfang Yuqing. I've never taught him any sword techniques!" Dongfang Jiu snorted and turned to leave, while the Seven Star Sword flew back into his hand.
Outside Sword Pavilion, I asked, "Huzi, what about my mother and Ghost Elder?"
Huzi replied, "At that time, we were all suddenly immobilized by Dongfang Jiu and fell unconscious. In my daze, I only heard sounds of battle nearby; I have no idea where they went."
"Could they still be trapped in Sword Pavilion by Dongfang Jiu?" Haikong suggested.
Dongfang Yuqing shook his head. "I've checked the dungeons and other places in Sword Pavilion; there’s no sign of them."
Yang Sanqian said, "Jiyao and Ghost Elder both possess Mahayana Realm cultivation. Even if Dongfang Jiu is more powerful than them, he couldn't have immobilized them both at the same time. They must have encountered something else."
"Then let's head back to Courtyard and wait for them. We might not find them if we keep searching everywhere," I said.
On the way, Dongfang Yuqing asked, "Yang Hao, why did you call me?"
I replied, "Dongfang Jiu has already collected ten Ancient Legendary Swords. Do you know what he intends to forge with them?"
Dongfang Yuqing shook his head. "For a long time now, he has been gathering renowned swordsmiths to design some kind of weapon. He wants to merge the Sword Souls of the ten swords into one. I don't know exactly what it is."
I said, "Each of the Top Ten Famous Swords is comparable to the Seven Star Sword; each one could be invincible at its level. If he refines and extracts the Sword Souls from the Ten Famous Swords, he must be aiming to create a devastating weapon. Is the Old Supreme of Sword Pavilion still alive?"
Dongfang Yuqing replied, "I've never seen the Sword Sect Supreme; I suppose he has passed away."
I said, "The Five Great Supremes modified their lifespans with the Book of Life and Death back then; it wouldn't be so easy for them to die. I wonder if this matter is related to Sword Sect Supreme."
As we returned to the courtyard of the Jiangnan Suburbs, Yang Sanqian immediately sensed someone inside the house as soon as we reached the door. He frowned and asked, "Jiyao, it's me, Yang Sanqian. Where are you?"
"I'm here," Jiyao's voice came from within.
Yang Sanqian and I rushed inside, only to find Jiyao lying on the bed, her face extremely pale.
"What happened to you? How did you get such serious injuries?" Yang Sanqian knelt beside the bed and began channeling his powerful Dao Qi into Jiyao's body.
Jiyao looked at us as we entered and said, "It's good that you all are fine. After the children were captured by Dongfang Jiu, I discussed a plan with Ghost Elder to prepare for a rescue at Sword Pavilion. However, we were ambushed by a Masked Man along the way. Ghost Elder used the Yin-Yang Escape Technique to send me away, but now I have no idea whether he is alive or dead."
"What kind of Masked Man has such power to injure both you and Ghost Elder?" Yang Sanqian asked.
Jiyao replied, "There was only one person. Based on his cultivation method, he is likely from the Yang Family."
I interjected, "Yang Xuanzong and Li Chang'an are evenly matched; either of them would struggle against both of you. Could it be Old Scholar?"
Jiyao said, "This person's Daoist Arts are astonishing. If it weren't for the Water Moon Mirror protecting me, I would probably be dead by now."
"We should first eliminate the Descendants of the Yang Family. That old Immortal doesn't even spare his own descendants and disciples," Huzi gritted his teeth.
"Hold on, Huzi," I stopped him and took out a Holy Medicine from my pocket, handing it to Yang Sanqian. "Dad, use this Holy Medicine to treat Mom's injuries first. Old Scholar wouldn't attack Mom and Ghost Elder without a reason; Ghost Elder might not necessarily be in trouble. I'll investigate overnight to see what's going on."
"Don't go, Hao," Jiyao cautioned. "Old Scholar's power is unfathomable; he will detect you."
"Don't worry, Mom. I have the Demon King with me; no one will sense my presence. Even Divination Techniques won't be able to track my movements. I'll be fine."
Yang Sanqian said, "Just be careful, Hao."
I nodded and replied, "Wuwu should have successfully refined the Mountain Spirit by now. With Guardian from the Buddhist Sect around, there shouldn't be any instability in his realm. He will come here soon."
Everyone nodded, and Douding said, "Brother Yang Hao, I'll go with you."
Haikong replied, "Kind-hearted one, you have no cultivation right now. Going would only drag down Benefactor Yang Hao. Stay here."
Qiongqi heard that I was going out and actively bent down to let me climb on. Douding ran over and patted Qiongqi, saying, "Big Cat, you must protect Brother Yang Hao."
Qiongqi growled lowly and stood up. I said, "Take care of yourselves. Father, look after Mother."
Yang Sanqian added, "The sooner you leave, the sooner you'll return."
I nodded and rode Qiongqi into the dark night sky.
Qiongqi moved swiftly, racing through the night. After we arrived at Yin Mountain, I stopped at the altar and turned to Qiongqi, saying, "You wait here and be careful to conceal your aura. There are several people at Yin Mountain whose powers are unfathomable; you are no match for them."
Qiongqi let out a low growl and hid in the wilderness. I gathered my focus and walked toward Yinshan Imperial Hall. In front of the Yang Family's mountain gate stood four Mountain Guardian Disciples, all elite disciples at the Core Formation Stage. Surrounding them was a Mountain Guardian Barrier. I produced four Silver Needles in my hand, which circled behind the four men and shot into their necks, rendering them immobile. Then I walked through the mountain gate.
Upon reaching the base of Yinshan Imperial Hall, I saw a group of Yang Family disciples kneeling around it, completely surrounding the Imperial Hall. The crowd was dense.
"When did the Yang Family gather so many people? Have all the scattered disciples been summoned back?" I wondered.
In front of the Imperial Hall was an altar where Ghost Elder stood. Beside him was a figure in black robes—an avatar of Old Scholar. Behind the black-robed figure stood Yang Xuanzong and Li Chang'an. Dao Jing talismans resonated from all directions as Yang Xuanzong took out an ancient scroll from his bosom. He began to chant the Sutra inscribed on it. Suddenly, the altar before him began to rotate, and a Dao Jing text drilled into Ghost Elder's body. Ghost Elder let out a terrible scream as Yang Xuanzong looked at the black-robed figure and said, "The Ancestor has found a furnace for you; this is your chance to be human again."
The black-robed figure nodded and faded away like a ghost as he approached Ghost Elder.
Outside the Imperial Hall, a disciple suddenly vanished from his spot and was dragged into the void by me, his mouth covered as I brought him to a hidden corner.
I pressed Fish Intestine Sword against this disciple's neck and demanded, "What is the Yang Family doing? Answer my question quickly."
The disciple continued to mutter incoherently, his gaze vacant.
"How could this happen? Could it be that so many people have lost their consciousness?"
As my thoughts penetrated the mind of this disciple, a sudden scream erupted from his mouth, followed by him bleeding from all seven orifices and dying.
"Who dares to disturb me while I am performing my rites?" came the voice of Yang Xuanzong.
Immediately, a massive hand descended. Li Chang'an unleashed the Transcendent Hand from the direction of the Imperial Hall. In an instant, I vanished and reappeared atop the towering statue of a deity at the mountain gate.
I said, "My mother Jiyao and Ghost Elder have no grievances with the Yang Family. Why do you want to harm them?"
Li Chang'an raised an eyebrow and looked at me. "Ignorant fool, I've let you escape time and again. This time, let's see how you can escape!"
"Child, break the Yang Family's Mountain Guardian Barrier. My physical body has already been bound by a spell; I must have my Dao Body exit in order to escape," Ghost Elder's voice suddenly echoed in my mind.
"Ghost Elder, is there no other way?" I replied anxiously.
"With Yang Xuanzong and Li Chang'an here, along with a clone of Old Scholar, and Old Scholar's true self also looking this way, this is the only method to get out. We cannot hesitate!"
"Then prepare yourself. The Yang Family will soon seal off the void. We must hurry to the altar in the east; otherwise, no one will escape." As I finished speaking, I suddenly vanished from atop the guardian statue and reappeared above the Imperial Hall, unleashing the Boundary Breaking Technique and Rift Path with a punch. The ground shattered, the void was destroyed, and the Yang Family's protective mountain formation crumbled.
At that moment, Ghost Elder on the altar suddenly opened his eyes as his Dao Body flew out from within him.
"Not good! Don't let his Dao Body escape!" Li Chang'an reached for the Dao Body in mid-air with his Transcendent Hand. Ghost Elder's Dao Body swiftly evaded Li Chang'an's massive hand and caught me as I fell, flying away into the distance.
"Yang Family has destroyed my physical body; I will take revenge!" Ghost Elder declared.
"You think you can leave? Leave behind your life!" A cold and aged voice rang out.
A White-Haired Elder appeared, gazing at Ghost Elder in mid-air. His eyes suddenly turned blood-red. Both Ghost Elder and I screamed in agony as we plummeted downwards, our heads pounding as if our brain nerves had been damaged. "It's a forbidden Mind Attack technique! This person is Old Scholar; we must flee!" Ghost Elder urged.
The Ghost Elder carried me as we flew away, thunder rumbling around us. A massive hand wrapped in lightning descended, enveloping the area for miles. The Ghost Elder chanted an incantation, pressing it against me as he recited, "Yin-Yang and Five Elements, Borrowing the Universe Technique! Escape!"
Suddenly, I was submerged into the earth, while the Ghost Elder's Dao Body was violently shattered.
"Ghost Elder!" I shouted.
"Ancestor's Divine Might!" Everyone knelt before the Old Scholar.
Several dozen miles away, I appeared beside the altar, blood flowing from my ears and a buzzing in my head.
Kneeling on the ground, I bit my fingertip and drew a Soul Gathering Secret Technique that I had seen in ancient texts on my palm. Then, pressing my palm against the ground, I chanted, "Three Souls and Seven Spirits gather, Return of the Departed!"
A Remnant Soul flew in from afar, its power extremely weak. Qiongqi rushed towards me from a distance. I absorbed the Remnant Soul into my Qi Sea to nurture it. With a single punch, I destroyed the altar and then mounted Qiongqi, disappearing into the night of Yin Mountain.
