However, before Qian Ye had time to attack Mu Yan, a dragon roar was heard from a distance, causing her to become a little dizzy. ‘Damn it! Where did that come from?’

Suddenly, they felt the temperature drop, and a dark gate opened before their eyes. Not only was Qian Ye shocked by that, but the other three women were also shocked when they saw it, especially when a dark creature emerged from it.

Moreover, the dark creature’s form was truly unusual; it was a giant black skeleton with blood-red eyes, and its entire body was covered in magma. It looked towards Qian Ye before dashing towards her, and its speed was unbelievably fast.

“Shit! What kind of creature is that?” Qian Ye cursed before throwing several earth spears towards the dark creature, but they vanished as soon as they touched its body.

Qian Ye immediately flew away and attacked the dark creature using her wood elements, but all the roots were turned into ashes by the magma on its body. Even her wind element was useless against it, and her wind scytes were unable to harm it. ‘Why are all my techniques useless against that creature?’

Seeing that, the three women gathered in one place, and Mu Yan asked the other two. “Hey, is that Ling Yun’s technique? How did he get it? As I recall, it was a technique belonging to one of the heretic sects in these upper realms, and he didn’t even arrive here long ago.”

“I think so.” Tian Lanyi replied while nodding. “The dragon roar just now is definitely my master, and he does have dark qi, but I don’t know anything about his dark technique. Perhaps Ling Xi was the one who gave it to him, especially since she was the one who taught him to become a cultivator.”

“Well, that’s true.” Mu Yan nodded in agreement with that. “Luxuria has lived for billions of years, so she definitely has many unusual things.”

“What if we also attack that woman again?” Long Xiang suddenly asked them.

However, three other black gates suddenly appeared in front of them, and several other creatures of darkness emerged from them, which were banshees. The three of them flew around Qian Ye before releasing shrill cries towards her, causing her to become increasingly dizzy and nauseous.

‘Damn it! Who summoned these damn creatures?’ Qian Ye inwardly wondered as she tried to escape from them, but the three banshees continued to follow her while continuously releasing shrill cries. ‘I have to find that person who summoned them faster.’

The black skeleton suddenly shot a ball of magma towards her, so Qian Ye created several earth walls to protect herself, but it directly penetrated her defenses before hitting her, causing her to fly quite far, and her appearance became quite messy because of it. “Gah!”

“Let’s go, we-”

“Stop it.” Before Long Xiang finished speaking, Ling Yun had already appeared behind them. “The black skeleton would attack anyone in its path, so it would be better if you guys didn’t go there now.”

“What kind of technique is that, Master?” Tian Lanyi asked him.

“The nine underworld gates technique.” Mu Yan instantly frowned after hearing that, and Ling Yun told them. “I got it from Ling Xi, and it belongs to the underworld sect. Because I have dark qi, and I thought that it was also very useful, so I decided to learn it.” (A

/N: He first learned it in chapter 616.)

“So you can summon nine kinds of dark creatures?”

“Yes.” Ling Yun nodded to Mu Yan. “However, I don’t dare to summon the last gate, especially since the last creature is vicious and uncontrollable, and it will attack all friends and enemies.”

“Can they beat that woman?” Long Xiang asked him.

“They can trouble that woman, but they won’t be able to defeat her, especially since their strength is no different from mine. Fortunately, she doesn’t have the light element, so she won’t be able to destroy them.” After he said that, Ling Yun used the technique again. Soon, a half woman and half spider came out from inside the new gate, and she immediately rushed towards Qian Ye. “Now we just need to wait for him to run out of qi, and you guys can catch him later.”

“Haha! You are really cunning, Master!” Tian Lanyi said as she laughed.

Mu Yan then asked him. “Does that mean they will get stronger as your cultivation increases?”

“Yes, they will become stronger as my cultivation increases.” Ling Yun then fell silent for a moment. “However, I still don’t know the backlash if they die, so I have to be careful when using them, or I’ll suffer myself.”

Mu Yan agreed with that. “There is no technique that does not have weaknesses, and such a technique is bound to have a terrible backlash.”

While they were chatting with each other, Qian Ye was already flying high in the air, especially since it was the only way for her to avoid the attacks of the black skeleton and the black spider.

Even so, Qian Ye’s action was useless to avoid the three banshees, and the three continued flying after her. Besides, the black skeleton kept shooting magma balls at her, and the black spider also kept shooting its spider web, so she had to dodge them continuously.

“Damn it!” Qian Ye raised her eyebrows as she turned towards them. “Who is that guy? Could he be the one who summoned these dark creatures? Tch! I have to attack him to stop them, or I’ll run out of Qi soon.”

Without thinking any longer, Qian Ye immediately flew towards them as he dodged their attacks. However, he frowned once Ling Yun disappeared, and she tried to search for him with her senses. “Bastard! How could he trick my senses? Tch! It would be better if I left this place now, or I would fall into their hands.”

Unfortunately, the three women did not let Qian Ye do that, and they immediately surrounded her, causing her to be overwhelmed enough to face them all at once.

Mu Yan immediately lashed out her whip toward her; Long Xiang also attacked her using her punch; and Tian Lanyi moved to snatch her returning jade.

“Qian Ye! You should just give up! You won’t be able to win against us!”

“Humph!” Instead, Qian Ye snorted and wanted to use his three elements at once to attack the three women, but another magma ball shot towards him, so he immediately dodged it. However, Long Xiang had already moved behind him and punched his back directly. “Gah!”

*Crack… Crack…*

“Gah!” Qian Ye screamed in pain as soon as Mu Yan’s whip hit her body, causing her dress to tear in several places. Even more so, Tian Lanyi also threw some thunder at her, which immediately electrocuted her. “Gah!”

‘Shit! My whole body really hurts from their attacks.’ A sizable spider web immediately wrapped Qian Ye after he fell from the air, and the three women moved toward her to seal her cultivation. .

Seeing that, the black skeleton wanted to attack them, but Ling Yun reappeared there and canceled his technique, and the dark creatures disappeared.

The three women landed on the ground and let out a sigh of relief, and Mu Yan said to Ling Yun. “If it weren’t for your dark creatures, we would definitely have difficulty capturing this woman.”

“En.” Ling Yun nodded to her. “I didn’t expect this woman to be so strong with the three elements, and we had to gang up on her to capture her.”

“Haven’t they found the old woman yet, Master?” 𝘪𝑎.

“Not yet.” Ling Yun used the dream creation technique on Qian Ye before sending her into his Yin-Yang Chamber. “Anyway, you guys can go there now, and I will wait for Huang Zuxian at the inn.”

“They can go there, but I will stay here to protect you.” Mu Yan said to him. “I know you’re strong, but Huang Zuxian is still stronger than you, and I promised Shu’er to protect you.”

Even though he already had his own plans for Huang Zuxian, Ling Yun did not reject Mu Yan, and they returned to the inn after the two beast women disappeared.

When they arrived at the room, Mu Yan asked him. “What are your plans for Qian Ye? I know that you used dream techniques on him, so I think you have evil plans against him.”

“Do you think I’m that evil?” Mu Yan nodded to him, and Ling Yun explained it to her directly. “I don’t have any evil intentions towards Qian Ye because she is Nichang’s mother, but I will do something against her in the hope that she can change. Even so, I don’t know if my plan will work, especially since his character is basically already like that, and it’s not an easy matter to change someone’s character.”

“That’s true.” Mu Yan then turned to the two girls, who were already fast asleep. “Nichang is such a good girl, but she had to suffer because those heretics used her family.”

“How about you?” Ling Yun asked Mu Yan. “Didn’t you suffer a lot more than her? You had to witness the destruction of your family, and Shu’er has also suffered for many years.”

“We’ve suffered for so long, and I still haven’t managed to take revenge against them, but I definitely will in the future.” Mu Yan then turned her head out of the window. “That girl is Huang Zuxian.”
