On the plaza, all the disciples of Shu Mountain looked at the second elder, Xu Gui, who was lying on the ground, with disbelief. They felt their mouths dry, unable to speak.
Just now, Xu Gui's ten thousand sword strike had even made many Shu Mountain disciples present believe they had already died.
But Xu Gui's mighty attack was defeated by Ye You in one move…
The visual impact caused by this comparison was immense to the Shu Mountain disciples!
"Damn… damn it…"
Xu Gui struggled to get up from the ground, clutching the wound on his severed arm with one hand, his face pale.
At this moment, a storm of shock was also raging in Xu Gui's heart, realizing that the situation was not good.
He had not hidden his strength just now. On the contrary, after seeing Ye You instantly kill two seventh-grade great demons, he had used his full power from the start. He had even secretly used a secret technique to amplify the power of his moves, intending to kill with one blow!
But even though he had exerted his full strength, he still couldn't see Ye You's movements clearly.
If Ye You's sword energy had been aimed at his neck just now, he would probably have been decapitated.
The gap in their strength was simply too vast!
"Where did these two monsters come from?"
Xu Gui secretly sent a distress signal to the great demons in the Ancient Demon Town, then stared at Ye Ling and Ye You, and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you? Why are you interfering in Shu Mountain's internal affairs?"
Now that the sect leader and the first elder were both suppressed under the Demon Locking Pagoda, there was no one left in the vast Shu Mountain who could stop him.
As long as he eliminated his opponents and executed all the Shu Mountain disciples loyal to the sect leader and the first elder, then this Shu Mountain… would completely become his private property!
But now, Ye Ling and Ye You, who had suddenly appeared, had completely disrupted his plans!
He had prepared for many years, everything was ready, and only the last step was left. If his years of hard work were to be ruined by two people from who knew where…
Xu Gui wished he could die!
Xu Xiao Qing was also completely stunned, unable to react.
She firmly believed that Ye Ling could perfectly resolve Shu Mountain's internal strife and successfully save Shu Mountain.
But she had not expected that the second elder, Xu Gui, would be so easily dealt with by Ye Ling and Ye You, giving Xu Xiao Qing the illusion that Xu Gui was actually a weakling!
In reality, Xu Gui was an eighth-grade异士 (yi shi), a person at the pinnacle of China.
In their Shu Mountain, only the sect leader and the first elder could barely suppress him!
It could be said that as long as Xu Gui was properly prepared, he could completely bury the entire Shu Mountain!
In fact, Xu Gui had successfully achieved this.
However…
A powerful figure like Xu Gui, whose full-power strike was easily defeated by Ye You.
Based on this alone, Xu Xiao Qing could be certain that Ye You was definitely a Red Dust Immortal!
Two seniors at the Red Dust Immortal level came to save Shu Mountain…
Thinking of this, Xu Xiao Qing suddenly felt an urge to cry.
Heaven blesses our Shu Mountain!
The disciples on the edge of the plaza who had betrayed Shu Mountain and followed Xu Gui, seeing the almost one-sided gap in strength between the two sides, lost their will to fight. They all threw down their weapons and surrendered directly.
Ye Ling glanced at the surrendering Shu Mountain disciples on the edge of the plaza and said to Xu Xiao Qing, "Don't just stand there in a daze. Organize your fellow disciples to deal with those traitors. These internal affairs still need to be handled by your own people."
Xu Xiao Qing, who had been lost in thought, was suddenly called by Ye Ling. She jolted and then nodded repeatedly, "I, I understand. I'll go do it right away!"
Xu Xiao Qing did not dare to hesitate and immediately went to inform her fellow disciples to tie up all the traitors to prevent future trouble.
With Ye Ling and Ye You present, the Shu Mountain disciples on the periphery did not dare to make any small moves. They all surrendered and waited for their fate.
Seeing that he was not dead yet and that the cleanup of the sect was already underway on the plaza, Xu Gui almost spat out a mouthful of blood, trembling with anger.
They completely disregarded him!
However, he was powerless to do anything about it.
With Ye Ling and Ye You present, and before his reinforcements arrived, he could only remain silent and try to survive.
As the Shu Mountain disciples began to act, Ye Ling looked at Xu Gui with a smile, beckoned him with his finger, and said with a smile, "Come here."
As Ye Ling's voice fell, the surrounding demonic energy surged towards Xu Gui, entwining him and dragging him to his front.
Suddenly being entwined by demonic energy, his expression changed drastically, and he began to struggle frantically.
"Let, let go of me!" Xu Gui struggled, involuntary fear appearing in his eyes, his voice trembling.
The moment the demonic energy entwined him, he felt an extremely cold aura from it.
It made his soul tremble with fear!
Ye Ling looked at Xu Gui, bound by demonic energy, with a smile and said, "I'm actually very curious, who exactly are you cooperating with? And what is your purpose in occupying Shu Mountain?"
"To avoid unnecessary torture and punishment, I hope you will answer me honestly, as this will save both of our time."
"You, you…"
Xu Gui looked at Ye Ling with a look of horror, trembling, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Xu Gui felt like he was going crazy. He didn't know Ye Ling and Ye You at all. He had been in Shu Mountain for over a hundred years, and he had never heard of the sect leader knowing such monsters as Red Dust Immortals!
These suddenly appearing Ye Ling and Ye You were driving him mad!
Now Xu Gui was completely confused and didn't know how to answer Ye Ling's question.
"It seems you need to sober up a bit."
Seeing Xu Gui's current state, Ye Ling shook his head in disappointment and directly sent his demonic energy into him, invading his soul.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
As his soul was invaded by demonic energy, Xu Gui let out a pig-like scream. The Shu Mountain disciples in the plaza, hearing Xu Gui's scream, couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy.
Just by listening to Xu Gui's scream, they could feel how much pain he was in.
It must be worse than death!
Xu Xiao Qing secretly glanced at Ye Ling and whispered, "Senior is as cold-blooded and cruel as ever. Fortunately, he is on our side."
"Xiao Qing, who exactly are those two seniors, and why are they helping our Shu Mountain?" A Shu Mountain disciple looked at the backs of Ye Ling and Ye You and couldn't help but ask Xu Xiao Qing curiously.
Xu Xiao Qing shook her head, "I only met one of the seniors once in Fulong Town. I'm not very clear about their specific origins… I only know that Senior is very strong, super strong!"
The Shu Mountain disciple smiled and said, "It's alright. No matter what, our Shu Mountain is saved. You've done a great service this time. When the sect leader is freed, your senior brothers will definitely ask the sect leader to reward you handsomely!"
"How could that be! I haven't done anything, how can I dare to accept a reward?" Xu Xiao Qing repeatedly smiled wryly, feeling a bit dazed.
Since Ye Ling appeared, she found that everyone around her looked at her differently, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
However, as Xu Xiao Qing and the others were detaining the traitors, they suddenly felt an unimaginable demonic aura surging from the direction of the Demon Locking Pagoda!
Ye You sensed the demonic aura and immediately soared into the sky. Looking into the distance, he saw a great roc landing on the Demon Locking Pagoda!
"Brother… there seems to be a big guy over there!"
