As the broken bell let out a clear chime, the curse power within Wu Lingxiang's body was instantly suppressed, though it still clung stubbornly, wanting to continue to possess her.
Ye Kunlun naturally knew that the red light emanated from the pair of red eyes obtained from the Witch God statue.
However, what he didn't expect was that at the critical moment, those eyes actually helped immensely!
Ten minutes later, the curse power within Wu Lingxiang's body began to dissipate.
Half an hour later, the curse power in her body was completely expelled!
Ye Kunlun withdrew his hand, and the dark, broken bell fell into Wu Lingxiang's hand. It appeared much brighter than before, with faint spiritual energy flowing through it.
Wu Lingxiang opened her eyes and said joyfully to Ye Kunlun, "Sir, I can feel the little bell's emotions. It seems to be quite happy."
Ye Kunlun nodded. He hadn't expected this seemingly unremarkable broken bell to be a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, but for some reason, it had been damaged and buried underground along with funerary objects.
"The curse power within your body has been expelled," Ye Kunlun said with a smile to Wu Lingxiang.
With two thuds.
Wu Jiuming, pulling his sister along, knelt before Ye Kunlun and kowtowed three times in unison.
Ye Kunlun accepted the siblings'禮 and then presented a sword talisman to Wu Jiuming.
"Keep this sword talisman on you. If you encounter someone you cannot defeat, you can use it to repel them!"
As Ye Kunlun gave the Wudao Sword Talisman, he had also drawn several other sword talismans for emergencies.
Wu Jiuming took the sword talisman and carefully put it away.
"I'll give you two months to return to the Wu clan and investigate the Witch God's true intentions. Gather as many clues as possible. After two months, whether you have any clues or not, return to the capital!"
Ye Kunlun instructed Wu Jiuming.
The reason for setting a two-month deadline was that the Yellow Spring Secret Realm would open in just over two months.
If he could obtain more information about the Witch God or discover his objectives before then, he wouldn't be too passive once he entered the Yellow Spring Secret Realm.
"Jiuming understands."
Immediately after, Ye Kunlun took out a seemingly ordinary, emerald-green jade pendant and handed it to Wu Jiuming.
"Wear this jade pendant. It can conceal your aura completely, making it undetectable even to Gu Changsheng."
Wu Jiuming quickly accepted the jade pendant. The moment it entered his hand, his aura was instantly hidden, making him appear no different from an ordinary person.
"Thank you, Sir."
"Set off immediately!"
Wu Jiuming did not dare to delay and had nothing to pack. His only concern was his sister.
Fortunately, Wu Lingxiang's body had already recovered, and the curse power within her had been thoroughly expelled.
As long as she didn't encounter a top-tier expert of the Wu clan, with Wu Lingxiang's strength, she could fully protect herself, especially with Ye Kunlun in the capital.
Wu Jiuming bid farewell to Ye Kunlun and left the small courtyard where he and his sister had been living.
Only Ye Kunlun and Wu Lingxiang remained in the courtyard.
"Sir, please tell me if you have any instructions."
Wu Lingxiang sensed that Ye Kunlun had something to assign her.
"You are indeed smarter than your brother," Ye Kunlun said with admiration in his eyes and a smile. "It's not a dangerous mission, but I'll need you to make a trip to Qingcheng..."
Ye Kunlun gave Wu Lingxiang his instructions.
Although he had already sent Zhuge Chu to Qingcheng to discuss business with Yun Chuxue, who could guarantee that Changsun Che wouldn't secretly interfere?
Furthermore, after he had injured Changsun Che in the capital, Changsun Che's influence should already know about Yun Chuxue's relationship with him.
The Changsun family could tolerate him in the capital for now, but in Qingcheng, far from the emperor's reach, who could do anything to people from the Changsun family?
Sending Wu Lingxiang at this time was to deal with those who would obstruct and threaten Yun Chuxue from the shadows.
After listening to Ye Kunlun's instructions, a cold glint appeared in Wu Lingxiang's beautiful eyes. "Sir, rest assured, whoever dares to touch Miss Yun, I will kill them!"
"I will also grant you a sword talisman, to prevent any accidents."
Ye Kunlun handed a sword talisman to Wu Lingxiang.
Besides dealing with Changsun Che's people, Ye Kunlun also needed to guard against other crises.
After all, Yun Chuxue had already been drawn in, and it was basically impossible for her to remain completely uninvolved.
"Lingxiang will depart now."
Shortly after Wu Jiuming left, Wu Lingxiang also departed.
Within a single day, Wudao, Huang Jiuxian, Wu Jiuming, and Wu Lingxiang had all left the capital.
Ye Kunlun suddenly felt that he had too few people he could rely on.
He recalled the various tokens his master had given him when he descended the mountain, but he hadn't used them much.
Now, it was time to put them to use.
"Let's start with the Supreme Alliance then..."
Ye Kunlun thought. He had only used the Supreme Token once in Qingcheng. As far as he knew, the Supreme Alliance had a branch in the capital.
Ye Kunlun left the small courtyard and returned to Wujian Prison.
Suddenly, a sinister power attacked Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun's expression remained unchanged. He retaliated with a palm strike, directly sending the attacker flying.
Stumble, stumble, stumble.
The attacker retreated seven or eight steps before stabilizing himself, a look of horror on his pale face.
The man was dressed in white, with silver hair, a pale complexion, and a sickly, somewhat effeminate demeanor. He appeared to be no older than his early twenties.
"Blood Hand?" Ye Kunlun stood with his hands behind his back, guessing the other party's identity.
Being able to move freely within Wujian Prison, coupled with a sinister power, could only be Blood Hand Wuchang, one of the Four Wuchangs.
"Indeed!"
Blood Hand calmed his fluctuating aura and replied. His voice, unlike his appearance, had a hint of masculinity.
He hadn't expected Ye Kunlun's strength to be so formidable.
He was known as Blood Hand Wuchang, and his stealth and speed were unmatched by the other three Wuchangs.
Yet, Ye Kunlun had keenly sensed him the moment he entered Wujian Prison and had easily repelled him.
"Not bad!"
Ye Kunlun's expression showed no change. He was indeed in need of manpower, and Blood Hand's return was perfectly timed.
"Blood Hand, why aren't you paying your respects to the Young Master quickly!"
Feng Tutu appeared, looking at him reproachfully. "I told you you wouldn't gain any advantage from the Young Master, but you wouldn't believe me!"
Blood Hand's slender eyes fixed on the composed Ye Kunlun. Ignoring Feng Tutu's words, he asked, "Are you the Old Warden's disciple?"
"Yes!" Ye Kunlun replied.
"Lend me another move."
With that, Blood Hand vanished from in front of Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun only saw a sky full of bloody palms, imbued with terrifying, sinister power, attacking him from all directions.
A smile curved Ye Kunlun's lips. He swayed slightly and struck out towards a blood palm!
With a bang.
The sky full of bloody hands dissipated without a trace. Blood Hand staggered back a few steps, his face turning even paler.
"Your Blood Shadow Hand is impressive," Ye Kunlun said with a faint smile. "But ultimately, it is merely a martial art."
As he spoke, Ye Kunlun tossed a Spirit Breaking Pill towards Blood Hand.
