Xue Ying was not in a rush. He tore through the void and returned back leisurely.

‘Sky Sword Mountain.’ Xue Ying appeared from nothingness. Right in front of him was the Sky Sword Mountain. Currently, the entire place looked ravaged. Many places were still burning with flames. Even though the war had ended, Sky Sword Mountain still suffered from huge losses. Even their Daoist Elder had died, along with many peak masters, worshippers, elders, and disciples.

“Sou.”

Xue Ying’s figure flashed. He arrived at the peak of a mountain. Here gathered a group of experts. They were currently protecting that black-robed middle-aged male seated cross-legged in the center.

“Senior.” A sweet-sounding voice was heard.

Xue Ying looked over. It was that red-robed girl.

“Many thanks, senior for acting.” This red-robed girl Yi Zi thanked him profusely, “This junior still believed that senior would not act after leaving us. Now that I think back… it should be that senior isn’t willing to bring us along since we will only encumber senior.”

“No need for thanks. Your sect master has agreed to give me treasures. It is perfectly logical for me to act.” Xue Ying casually replied.

Many of those present were still filled with gratitude to him.

Treasures? Even if they were more precious, they were still external materials! If they died, the treasures would be useless even if they had more. For Xue Ying to save their Sky Sword Mountain during that circumstance was not about saving their sect master, but saving the entire sect!

“This junior is called Violet Rain, and how should we call senior?” Yi Zi asked. Violet Rain was her title, and Yi Zi was her actual name. Usually, only those close to her would call her by her actual name.

“Flying Snow.” Xue Ying casually answered.

“Senior Flying Snow, this junior wonders if Flying Snow has succeeded in pursuing that Blaze Valley Master?” Yi Zi asked.

“He is already dead.” Xue Ying directly commented.

All the higher-ups of Sky Sword Mountain felt excited when they heard that. Blaze Valley Master was dead? The valley master of the Blaze Valley and vice-valley master were both dead. The remaining few were not worthy of being worried of. Most likely, the escaping disciples of Blaze Valley would not dare to stay in their old base and would be swiftly escaping for their lives. It seemed that the ‘Blaze Valley’ which had been fighting with their Sky Sword Mountain for years had been exterminated!

“Senior is really amazing to kill the Blaze Valley Master. This junior believes that senior’s name will soon spread across the land.” Yi Zi flattered him. Her eyes brightened. This senior in front of her was at the same level as her father. With his ability, he could become an overlord in the Nine Cloud Great Land. Such a great expert must be pulled closer.

For instance, they could join his sect and for her to acknowledge him as her teacher. That would be even better!

Right as many thoughts formed in the mind of Yi Zi, the black-robed middle-aged man who was busy suppressing the soul poison opened his eyes. He looked towards Xue Ying saying, “Brother Flying Snow, are you able to help me remove this soul poison?”

Xue Ying was stunned. He answered, “Sky Sword Sect Master, aren’t you worried that I might make use of the opportunity to scheme against you?”

“With Brother Flying Snow’s power, who here can block you from killing me?” Sky Sword Sect Master added, “This Silver Silk Soul-Leading Poison is too ruthless. Previously, for the sake of battling, I’ve let the poison penetrate deeper into my soul. Currently, I no longer have the confidence of suppressing it. Thus, I do hope to ask Brother Flying Snow for help.”

“I’ll attempt it.” Xue Ying nodded. The other people immediately let way.

Xue Ying walked over to the side of the Sky Sword Sect Master before sitting down cross-legged. He extended his hand onto the shoulder of the Sky Sword Sect Master. At that moment, he sent many ripples into his body. Sky Sword Sect Master did not stop them at all.

These ripples permeated into the consciousness of Sky Sword Sect Master and enveloped around the soul of Sky Sword Sect Master.

“So severe?” Xue Ying was slightly astonished.

The soul of Sky Sword Sect Master had already been permeated by large amounts of Silver Silk Soul-Leading Poison. They were so dense that it looked akin to arteries and veins, covering the soul. Without Xue Ying, the Sky Sword Sect Master could indeed not suppress the poison… besides, it was too difficult to travel on the Nine Cloud Great Land. He would not have the time to find an appropriate antidote and would thus die.

“Brother Flying Snow can act regardless you want.” Sky Sword Sect Master added.

“Mn.” Xue Ying was cautious. He sent many strands of ripples into the soul of the other party.

Reaching the realm of Sky Sword Sect Master, his soul was extremely powerful. Even if it were cut into ten parts with nine being extinguished, he would only suffer from a minor injury! Thus, the ripples permeating into the soul of Sky Sword Sect Master did not inflict great wounds on him. It was only that the ‘Silver Silk Soul-Leading Poison’ had entirely penetrated into his soul, and expelling it was extremely arduous.

“Chi chi chi.” Xue Ying’s Plate Ripple Diagram gave him precise control over the ripples. He began restricting the silver silk.

As he was helping the other party expel the soul poison, Xue Ying was also stealthily displaying his secret technique.

“Weng.”

Because he had large amounts of ripples permeating into the soul of Sky Sword Sect Master, the other party did not suspect him at all. His soul did not have any reaction.

‘He isn’t a follower of the two great religions.’ Xue Ying thought, ‘But that’s right too. According to the intelligence reports, there should be very few followers of the two religion amongst native experts. For me to discover Blaze Valley Valley Master and the vice-master to be followers is a great fortune for me. If the Sky Sword Mountain Sect Master is a follower too, then things will be too coincidental.’

Searching for followers was a very troublesome task.

Firstly, those at the level of Blaze Valley Master and Sky Sword Sect Master were at the fourth level Star Pagoda level. It was impossible for him to inspect their souls stealthily! He had to injure the other party heavily and seal the other party’s power completely, and only when the other party could not retaliate could he utilize the secret technique on him! But this way, if an expert suddenly popped out on the Nine Cloud Great Land acting against all the overlord across the different regions… it would arouse suspicion on his identity! Once the two great religions noticed him, he would not be able to stay on the Nine Cloud Great Land anymore.

Secondly, if such important followers died, the religion would immediately know! They would check out what had happened.

Like the current event where Blaze Valley Master took the initiative to attack the Sky Sword Mountain, and for Sky Sword Mountain to have an expert helping them to kill Blaze Valley Master made it look normal.
