Chapter 84

The leader of the group trembled violently, as if he hadn't heard Elder Yun's words. His true essence surged wildly, and his figure transformed into a streak of light.

The few people who followed closely behind, though they didn't understand his intentions, saw their leader so tense and became anxious as well, running for their lives.

"Fellow Daoist, why do you wish to leave?"

However, Elder Yun's indifferent voice still echoed in the leader's ears, as if Elder Yun was standing right beside him.

"Come down and have a chat." Elder Yun spoke softly, his right hand reaching out slightly toward the sky. A white chain shot out, catching up to the group in the blink of an eye.

"No!"

The leader's pupils suddenly constricted, thinking that Elder Yun was about to make a killing move. His entire body trembled, and a massive bird-like shadow appeared behind him. In an instant, his aura surged, and his speed increased significantly.

Whoosh!

He transformed into a bird, a green aura enveloping him, leaving a green trail in the air.

"Is this a martial soul?!" Jiang Han's eyes lit up, staring intently at the bird-like shadow behind the leader, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

A martial soul is truly a wondrous and special thing.

In fact, not every martial artist has a martial soul.

Some people are born with it, a talent in their bloodline. Once they reach the peak of Martial Master, they can naturally awaken their martial soul and advance to the martial soul stage.

However, others lack this talent and find it much harder to break through to the martial soul stage!

This seems unfair, but they have certain advantages.

Those with bloodline talents have predetermined martial souls; strong is strong, weak is weak, and it cannot be changed!

However, those without talent have a great deal of unpredictability in this area. A sudden enlightenment might lead to the awakening of an extremely powerful martial soul.

Of course, the probability of this is extremely low!

"Why bother?" Elder Yun shook his head lightly, slowly retracting his hand, and the white light faded.

The leader of the group let out a long sigh of relief but remained vigilant, leaving quickly without any delay. Green wings grew on his back, though illusory, they increased his speed even more.

However, his expression soon changed, turning pale, and the green wings seemed to forget to flap, his body still in a forward-leaning position.

At the same time, the few people who followed closely behind also changed their expressions, their auras surging.

Jiang Han and the others looked puzzled. In their line of sight, the few people in the sky seemed to be flying hard, but their positions did not change, as if they were tied by ropes.

"Come down." Elder Yun's calm voice echoed in the sky. As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of the few people suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Jiang Han and the others.

"Senior, we have no ill intentions; we were just passing by."

The leader still maintained a forward-leaning posture, his face pale, and he spoke respectfully.

At this moment, he realized that this old man's strength was at a level they could only look up to, and there was no way to resist!

At this moment, a feeling of regret spread in his heart.

If it weren't for coveting the treasures of the Black Slaughter Sect, why would it come to this?! But regretting now was of no use; he could only hope that Elder Yun would spare his life.

The other few people also looked at Elder Yun with pleading eyes.

"I have no ill intentions. I just want to have a chat with you." Elder Yun said calmly.

The faces of the few people twitched; this way of inviting them was indeed gentle enough!

"Senior, what do you want to ask us?" The leader spoke cautiously, observing Elder Yun's expression, "I will answer everything I know!"

"Hmm, nothing much. Just asking which sect you belong to." Elder Yun said casually.

The leader's heart skipped a beat, not knowing what Elder Yun meant, but he didn't dare to hide it and replied, "I come from the Flying Star Sect."

"Hmm." Elder Yun nodded, then turned his gaze to Ye Ruhong.

Ye Ruhong was taken aback but quickly understood, pondering for a moment before speaking clearly, "The Flying Star Sect, a mid-grade sect, neither good nor evil."

"Neither good nor evil..." Elder Yun nodded, "That's fine, you can go."

The leader was stunned, not quite understanding Elder Yun's intentions.

The phrase "neither good nor evil" flashed through his mind, and he suddenly froze, breaking out in a cold sweat, feeling a huge sense of relief.

At this moment, he also understood why the Black Slaughter Sect was destroyed.

It was simple: too much evil!

This old man in front of him must be a reclusive expert who couldn't stand the Black Slaughter Sect's actions and destroyed it in a fit of anger.

The leader wiped a cold sweat, grateful that the Flying Star Sect, though not doing good, also didn't do evil, or they would have met the same fate as the Black Slaughter Sect!

"Yes! We will take our leave!" Without further thought, the leader calmed himself, bowed, and led the group to fly away, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

"Now we can go find the treasures." Elder Yun chuckled and walked toward the Black Slaughter Sect.

Suddenly, he stopped, and a cold voice echoed through the sky.

"Still not leaving! Do you want me to bring you out?"

Bang!

In the sky, the air suddenly exploded, and several figures appeared in a disheveled state, their faces filled with fear. They hurriedly bowed to Elder Yun and then fled like mad.

Jiang Han and the others exchanged glances and quickly followed Elder Yun.

"Treasures, I'm coming~" Jiang Han laughed happily, moving the fastest and quickly walking to Elder Yun's side.

Those who appeared at the gate of the Black Slaughter Sect were not all the disciples; some were weaker and had not come out, thus escaping with their lives.

"They are mostly new disciples and haven't done any evil deeds." Yan Yumo said, seeing that Jiang Han was about to make a killing move.

"Consider them lucky." Jiang Han pouted, putting away his laser sword and continuing forward.

"Go down the mountain. The Black Slaughter Sect is destroyed." Yan Yumo said to the terrified Black Slaughter Sect disciples and followed Jiang Han.

Elder Yun continued walking without stopping, heading deeper into the Black Slaughter Sect. Jiang Han and the others knew Elder Yun's abilities and believed he had already determined the location of the treasure vault.

After a while.

Elder Yun suddenly stopped, and Jiang Han and the others approached in confusion, seeing nothing around them.

"Where are the treasures?" Jiang Han looked left and right. They were standing in the center of a courtyard.

"Right here." Elder Yun smiled, his eyes twinkling as he looked at Jiang Han.

Jiang Han's heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding rising.

Before he could react, the ground suddenly shook and collapsed!

"Ahhh!!!"

Jiang Han let out a heart-wrenching scream, his body plummeting with the ground.

"Elder Yun, what about Jiang Han..." Yan Yumo seemed worried.

"Don't worry, he won't die from the fall!" Elder Yun laughed, waving his hand, "At most, he'll break an arm or a leg."

"..."

Suddenly, a disheveled figure shot out from the collapsed ground, moving gracefully like a feather, floating in the air.

"Old man! You tricked me!!!"
