Standing in the Aoxue Sect, Gu Bei’s murderous intent erupted, but her eyes remained fixed on the inner gate of the sect.

Ye Yang and Feng Ruoxing exchanged glances, quickly understanding. Although they couldn’t hear my voice, they could guess I had succeeded.

Ye Yang held his sword horizontally in front of Feng Ruoxing: "Fall back!"

"But…" Before Feng Ruoxing could object, Ye Yang pushed her aside: "Go! Don't let my blood energy affect you."

As Feng Ruoxing retreated, Xuan Su arrived with over a hundred Aoxue Sect disciples. Feng Ruoxing pointed her swords at Xuan Su: "What are you trying to do?"

"Assist Mr. Ye." Xuan Su slowly raised his hand: "For the sect, go! In the Hall of Loyalty, I will personally send you to the Spirit Platform."

"Kill—" An Aoxue Sect disciple drew his long sword and charged forward wildly.

The way that person held his sword wasn’t to kill the enemy, but to fight desperately.

The Aoxue Sect didn’t use the wide swords of the Warring States period. After that era, as long swords continued to evolve, their cleaving ability was replaced by sabers. Yet, the Aoxue Sect disciples charged forward with their swords raised like they were wielding broadswords; this was a suicidal attack.

Dozens of Aoxue Sect disciples brushed past Ye Yang and swarmed towards Gu Bei. Gu Bei’s hands flew up, and invisible force pierced through the chests of the Aoxue Sect disciples, carrying their scalding hearts as they shot out, only to be stained red by blood.

In an instant, the scattered rain of blood was drawn by Ye Yang's energy, gathering around him.

More and more disciples surged out from behind Ye Yang. Within a radius of ten meters, a sea of blood surged, and Ye Yang's figure was submerged within it.

Gu Bei seemed to have realized the Aoxue Sect disciples' purpose and began to rapidly advance towards Ye Yang.

Ye Yang retreated, and the Aoxue Sect disciples pressed forward again.

A disciple, sent flying by Gu Bei, dragged his exposed internal organs as he crawled towards the retreating Ye Yang: "Mr... Mr. Ye... Save... Save the sect."

Ye Yang didn't say a word, but paused slightly. The disciple exploded into a rain of blood at his feet.

As the scarlet sea of blood surged towards the inner gate, an elder rushing from behind shouted sternly: "Xuan Su, what exactly are you doing? Are you using disciples to feed a demonic sorcerer?"

Xuan Su grabbed the person's collar and pulled him in front of him: "Ye Yang is a demon, but he can save the sect. Who else can stop the corpse demon besides him?"

As Xuan Su spoke, he felt a murderous intent, tinged with bloodlust, turn in his direction.

It was Ye Yang!

Xuan Su didn't understand Ye Yang. Saying such things was undoubtedly forcing Ye Yang to turn around and slaughter the Aoxue Sect.

Ye Yang understood clearly: in the sect's eyes, good and evil could not coexist. Now they needed Ye Yang. Not only would they not attack him, but they would also proactively send disciples to feed his sword.

However, once the Aoxue Sect’s tribulation was over, they would definitely take action to suppress the demonic path, even if Ye Yang had saved them.

Xuan Su keenly sensed that hint of murderous intent and threw the elder in his hand towards Ye Yang. Without a doubt, the person exploded in mid-air, falling into the sea of blood.

At this time, Feng Ruoxing also began to fully guard against the Aoxue Sect.

If Ye Yang took action against the corpse demon, Feng Ruoxing would inevitably support him.

If Ye Yang turned against the Aoxue Sect, Feng Ruoxing's Shura Quick Sword would also slash towards the sect.

Just as both sides were at daggers drawn, Gu Bei suddenly let out a long howl, the anger and unwillingness in the howl spreading across the mountains.

"Idiot, don't let her go back!" Ye Yang realized, waved his hand, and urged the sea of blood to transform into a sword. Holding two blood-colored long swords, he leaped forward, the sword's edge howling as it struck directly at Gu Bei's brow.

Ye Yang knew that I was disrupting Gu Bei's mind. This was his only chance to strike, so he didn't hesitate to unleash a sword strike that condensed the Aoxue Sect disciples’ hot blood.

At this time, I was also controlling Gu Bei's body to rush towards the heavenly soldiers at the entrance of the tomb passage.

The information I gave Gu Bei was that if she didn’t come back, I would destroy her corpse.

The corpse demon's shell was strong enough to rival refined steel, and I didn't have anything in my hand strong enough to destroy her body. I could only lead Gu Bei to charge into the formation.

As soon as I moved, the heavenly soldiers' weapons rose. Our collision would likely happen in that instant.

What I wanted was Gu Bei to be in a dilemma of advancing or retreating in that instant.

As the cold light of the blades flashed before my eyes, Gu Bei in the Aoxue Sect fully attacked Ye Yang.

When Gu Bei's palm collided with the blood sword again, an earth-shattering roar shook the sect. Ye Yang flew back several meters before falling to the ground, sliding along the ground towards a distant pillar.

Ye Yang had no internal energy at this time. The result of colliding head-on with the pillar would be death on the spot.

However, the Aoxue Sect disciples retreated to the left and right at this time, allowing Ye Yang to fly into the distance.

"Ye Yang!" Feng Ruoxing exclaimed, and the Shura Quick Sword was activated again. This time, her goal wasn't to kill, but to throw herself towards Ye Yang on the ground.

Although Feng Ruoxing grabbed Ye Yang's ankle, she couldn't stop the force on his body. Instead, she was dragged by Ye Yang towards the pillar.

While desperately pulling on Ye Yang, Feng Ruoxing stabbed her short sword into the ground with one hand, but her sword easily cut through the bluestone bricks on the ground. Apart from kicking up a string of flying dust, it didn't slow down the two people's speed at all.
