Chapter 70: Destroying the Old Nest

  The sword and the body merge into one, transforming the sword into a rainbow. At this moment, Yi Chu's heart is filled with concern for Li Yingqiong's safety, so this sword gathers all of Yi Chu's true strength at this time!

  "Whoosh", the long sword chopped down on the vines, and in an instant, the vines were cut into two segments. And just as Yi Chu pounced towards Li Yingqiong, the broken half of the vine suddenly took Li Yingqiong with it, instantly disappearing into the stone cave!

  "Heh heh, insignificant thing, if you want to get that girl back, come with me." The ghostly face smiled smugly and flew straight out of the cave. Yi Chu saw Li Yingqiong being dragged away by the vines and didn't care about anything else, quickly chasing after the ghostly face in a flash of movement.

  "You insignificant thing, how dare you harm your family's superior? This time I'll make you unable to live or die. Look at this girl's tender skin, it's so delicate, I think eating her raw would be best." Qingmu Shangren's ghostly face became even more arrogant when he saw Yi Chu chasing after him.

  Knowing that this detestable thing was trying to infuriate him, Yi Chuxin's mind moved swiftly and the broken blood bead shot out like lightning towards the ghost face. At the same time, the two golden needles in his gourd also shot towards the ghost face's eyes.

  "Bang", the blood bead heavily hit the ghost's face, and the eerie ghost face cracked open a big hole again. The appearance of this big hole almost made the ghost face collapse, but at this time, the ghost face had no ability to resist Yichu, however, his eyes were filled with resentment towards Yichu!

  "Puff puff", two golden needles immediately struck the ghost face's eyes again, this sudden and swift continuous attack was absolutely unexpected by Qingmu Shangren. He let out a miserable cry, wanting to roll up in a gust of wind and escape, but he was worried that Li Yingqiong would not let him go!

  The black gourd lid opened in an instant, a black light, and the ghost face was sucked into the gourd. Before the lid closed tightly, Yi Chu's divine consciousness had already entered the gourd.

  "Where is the old nest of Qingmu Shangren?" Yi Chu looked at Zhen Rou'er and shouted in a low voice. At the same time, the golden needle in his hand was constantly flashing with golden light.

  "You actually caught the ghost of Qingmu Shangren?!" Zhen Rou'er exclaimed in surprise, then hurriedly continued: "Exiting the cave and heading west, ten miles away there is a mountain valley. In that valley, there is only one large tree, which is Qingmu Shangren."

  Yi Chu nodded and didn't ask any more questions, instantly withdrawing his divine sense. Then, like a flash of lightning, he rushed in the direction Zhen Rou'er had told him. At this time, Yi Chu was already at the peak of 8th rank cultivation. As he ran, his entire person seemed to be a bolt of lightning, and in just the blink of an eye, Yi Chu arrived outside the mountain valley.

  As he walked into the valley, a gloomy and eerie aura rushed towards him. Under this terrifying atmosphere, Yi Chu felt a chill wind blowing towards him. The night grew darker, but the inky blackness couldn't hide from Yi Chu's eyes.

  This valley is not small, it's at least ten miles in circumference, but in this valley, Yi Chu still saw the body on the Qingmu tree with one glance. It was a huge tree, an enormous tree that was over 30 feet tall, its massive trunk as thick as an umbrella, and its dense canopy was so large that it blocked out the sky, and at first glance, Yi Chu couldn't even see how big the canopy was.

  However, in just an instant, Yi Chu had already seen what he was looking for - Li Yingqiong, who had disappeared into the ground, was now bound by a long vine and suspended high up on a thick tree branch.

  "Little thing, you've finally come. Quickly, tell me where my ghostly incarnation has gone to! You'd better say it quickly, or I'll turn this woman into a desiccated corpse forever!" A gigantic mouth suddenly appeared on the trunk of the enormous tree, bellowing loudly at Yi Chu.

  Seeing that Li Yingqiong was not in danger, Yi Chu's heart was put at ease. Looking at the tree that was desperately howling, Yi Chu coldly smiled and said: "If you want to keep your ghost form intact, you'd better behave yourself. I'm telling you, if you dare to move even a finger on her, I'll turn your ghost form into dust!"

  "You insignificant thing, how dare you threaten me! This time you're dead for sure, dead for sure!" Amidst the roar, several thick vines as wide as a child's arm suddenly flew out from the top of the giant tree, shooting towards Yi Chu like lightning.

  Seeing the green wood on the person taking action, Yi Chu didn't dare to have any carelessness, shaking his hand and swinging his long sword. The gorgeous swordsmanship was not applied at all, it was directly a technique of unity with the sword, several meters of sword aura, rolled towards that vine. At the same time, Yi Chu's body did not retreat but advanced, just like an eagle, rushing straight towards the green wood person's body!

  "Hum", the sword sliced through the vines, and they instantly turned into a trail of powder. As the vines shattered, Yi Chu's body and the giant tree suddenly closed in to within 100 meters of each other.

  "How dare you hurt my body, go and die!" The enraged Ao no Kōji roared, and from his body flew out hundreds of vines, covering the sky and earth like an endless vine net, directly attacking Yī Chǔ!

  "Spectral illusion, body and sword as one." With a long whistle, Yi Chu transformed into a rapidly rotating sword wheel, with endless sword edges wildly stirring forward. The vines were thick, but as soon as they approached the sword edges, they would be instantly stirred into powder by Yi Chu!

  "You think you can escape the palm of your master with such a petty trick?" On top of the enormous Qingmu tree, the giant mouth of the Qingmu tree opened and closed, emitting ear-piercing sounds that echoed in the void. These strange noises were unbearable to human ears.

  A burst of black smoke flew out from all directions amidst the sound. In an instant, before reaching the human body on the green wood, these black smokes transformed into figures drifting in mid-air, with men and women, old and young, their faces ferocious.

  "Kill him for me!" As soon as Qingmu Shangren finished speaking, countless ghostly shadows rushed towards Yi Chu from all directions.

  Facing these ghostly shadows, Yi Chu's expression changed, and the black gourd appeared in his hand. As the lid of the gourd was opened, a black light shot out, rolling straight towards those ghosts.

  "Qingmu Shangren, you're really a good person! You knew I urgently needed souls and actually sent me such a great gift. Then I'll be rude if I don't accept it!" As Yi Chu spoke, the black light had already instantly swept away the dozens of ghostly souls that were pouncing on him!

  The ghosts were struggling desperately, howling desperately, but the black light seemed to be specially restrained by them. No matter how they struggled, all of their efforts were instantly sucked into the black gourd.

  Watching his own painstakingly trained subordinates being taken away, Qingmu Shangren was furious. He saw him open his big mouth and a cyan bead shot out from his mouth!
