Chapter 804: Chapter 444: You’ve Already Met Me

"This is..."

Li Ye keenly sensed the emotional change in Wei Qingye.

And what unsettled him even more was that.

He recognized this broken sword; it belonged to that young Golden Core Sword Cultivator who had gone out with Wei Qingye initially.

The one who was supposed to marry afterward.

Sword Cultivators.

Where there is a sword, there is a person; where the sword perishes, the person perishes.

Starting from Foundation Establishment or even Qi Refining, this Lifebound Treasure Sword is bound to one’s life. Once it’s destroyed, it only means one thing...

"He has fallen."

"Junior Brother Han has fallen."

Wei Qingye’s face was filled with undisguisable sadness.

He had brought these junior brothers and sisters out, but now one of them had fallen. His grief was almost overflowing like a river, leaving him barely able to stand.

"How did he fall?"

Li Ye supported him, his expression very serious: "You must know that the Cultivators of Celestial Vein Sword Mountain not only have life-saving items, but also the lotus flower I gave earlier.

That’s enough to die in place nine times!"

Nine times.

Even a pig demon could escape with that, right?

How is it possible to vanish without a trace and directly fall?

Upon hearing Li Ye’s words, Wei Qingye suppressed the sorrow in his heart, and his expression grew solemn.

Indeed. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Why did he fall without any news?

He instinctively felt there might be some significant problems.

It might even affect his Tao heart.

So he looked at Li Ye for help, "...Can you accompany me to retrieve my junior brother’s body?"

"Why are you suddenly speaking so formally?" Li Ye comfortingly patted his arm, "Between you and me, there’s no need for such words. Let’s go now."

Actually, Li Ye also felt a bit confused inside.

His Nascent Soul was warning him.

Once he went, he might encounter some unpleasant situations.

But what could...

make him feel unpleasant?

...

"This meat is truly delicious!"

In a canyon, a group of people was sitting around a table, not bothering with chopsticks, grabbing roasted meat with their hands, and devouring it.

The place was dark and sunless.

Even with candles lit, it was eerie.

There seemed to be some white bones discarded on the ground, which should have emitted a holy light, but under the illumination of the green candles, they appeared especially deep and dark.

The leader was a burly man with a bared upper body.

He appeared very old.

His hair and beard were white, but there was no trace of old age on his face, and his skin was as smooth as a baby’s.

He was seen biting into chunks of meat.

The little guy beside him praised, "It’s all thanks to you, big brother, otherwise how could we eat the meat of an Immortal?"

This little guy still held a human finger.

The fingertip had a thin callus.

He sucked on the finger like a Hungry Ghost, biting with sharp teeth but could not break the skin, only able to gnaw continuously.

It looked terrifying and disgusting.

"Of course!" The man referred to as big brother took another bite of the blood-stained meat and laughed, "What about Immortals? Didn’t we still manage to get them and eat Immortal flesh, so you and I can achieve immortality!"

"Hahaha!"

The people around who were burying their heads in eating meat also burst into hearty laughter.

It echoed in the place.

Even Li Ye and Wei Qingye, who had already arrived, could hear it.

With their Divine Sense accomplishments, they could naturally both see and hear what these people were saying and even saw the meat on the table.

"..."

"!!!"

Wei Qingye’s eyes were filled with rage, and with a wave of his hand, he slashed with a sword.

How terrifying can a furious Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator be?

With this sword strike,

the stable space was torn layer by layer, the surrounding mountains and the ground beneath their feet turned into nothingness, leaving behind a massive crack emitting magma and turbid air.

Survival?

Survivors?

Non-existent.

For them, revenge only required a marker.

If a sword strike does not end them, he might as well return to the sect to cultivate for a few hundred more years.

Wei Qingye gestured.

A corpse flew over from afar.

It was already bloodied, impossible to look directly at.

The blood on the corpse had flowed excessively, and it was evident that the suffering had occurred post-mortem, not due to injuries sustained while alive.

It was plain to see.

Even the lotus flower gifted by Li Ye had withered away, its petals falling amidst the blood.

Needless to say, even Li Ye felt his fury rising continuously upon witnessing this scene.

He knew this world.

And it had become chaotic due to the great tribulation.

Many Cultivators had come here to help, but many had died for the sake of mortals desiring to eat Immortal "flesh" for longevity.

This wasn’t merely a case of a dog biting Lü Dongbin.

It was the dog wanting to eat Lü Dongbin!

At that moment, he was already contemplating whether to implement mass extermination—eliminating every person involved in this matter—so the malevolent tendencies might vanish.

This was truly too malevolent.

Even he was rarely moved to such a murderous desire to uproot something.

The two stood calmly on the ever-collapsing ground, with Tribulation Qi already gathering around them.

Nourishing murderous intent rashly in a great tribulation was inherently a dangerous thing.

Not to mention, that sword strike killed countless mortals.

Even if they had consumed Immortal "flesh," they remained mortal.

Tribulation Qi might not directly harm Cultivators like them, but it could affect their Tao Foundation and Primordial Spirit, cutting off future paths while weakening them.

Li Ye glanced at the Tribulation Qi, drew a small painting with a gesture, and snapped a branch from the Jianmu, tossing it inside.

The foolish Tribulation Qi mistook it for his true self and dove straight into the small painting. Once they entered, Li Ye sealed the painting and casually tossed it into his little world for safe-keeping.
