Chapter 457: Chapter 455: The Three Yin Sect Leader Is a Woman? Lu Ye Executes the Sect Leader! Palace Guardian of the Yin Puppet Hall

"So you’ve got a trump card, and suddenly you’ve got confidence?" Lu Ye looked at the Three Yin Sect Leader, whose expression had shifted from panic to a faint calm, his gaze amused.

What Lu Ye hadn’t expected was that this Three Yin Sect Leader was actually a woman.

And her strength had reached Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second Layer.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about." The Three Yin Sect Leader’s expression changed subtly, but quickly returned to normal as she spoke calmly.

"Who exactly are you? To come uninvited—if you don’t give an explanation, this Three Yin Sect... is not a place you can just come and go as you please."

"Weren’t you looking for me?" Lu Ye said lightly. "Just now."

Hearing this, the Three Yin Sect Leader instantly felt her heart clench violently. In that brief moment, it was as if someone had seized her by the throat...

"Chen Beixuan... you’re Chen Beixuan?!"

For the first time, terror appeared on the Three Yin Sect Leader’s face. She had never imagined that the name she’d been speaking of just a second ago would, in the next second, actually appear here in the heavily guarded sect hall!

Of course, the Three Yin Sect Leader also understood why this man could arrive without a sound.

If he really was Chen Beixuan, then forget these arrangements—no matter how many times more intricate they were... it would be hard to stop him.

"As far as I know, my Three Yin Sect has never offended you. Why have you come here?" After a moment, the Three Yin Sect Leader spoke.

If one listened carefully, one could hear a faint tremor in her words.

With the Five Poison Sect as a warning, now that Lu Ye had appeared here... there had to be a reason.

"Oh right, this Sect Leader knows that former Three Yin Saint Son seemed to have some conflict with Elder Chen... I’ve already expelled him from the sect."

The Three Yin Sect Leader continued, "If needed, I can send people to hunt him down."

Looking at the silver-tongued Three Yin Sect Leader, Lu Ye said, "I have to admit, you’re good with words."

"It’s just that..."

Lu Ye extended a hand, and an irresistible palm seal blasted out. Before the Three Yin Sect Leader could even react, it had already slammed into her body.

"It’s just that I didn’t come here to listen to your excuses."

Even being able to say that the former Three Yin Saint Son was expelled by her was beyond Lu Ye’s expectations.

No wonder she’d managed to become the leader of the Three Yin Sect.

The Three Yin Sect Leader also hadn’t expected the opponent to strike so decisively; she had only just planned to start tempting him.

For example, by offering the entire Three Yin Sect to Lu Ye, or saying she could serve at his side from now on, helping him handle matters.

But... she wasn’t given the slightest chance!

If she’d known he was this decisive, she would’ve spoken up earlier!

With a faint sense of regret, the Three Yin Sect Leader died on the spot.

With her Mortal Realm Second Layer cultivation, even if Lu Ye made a casual move, it was not something she could withstand.

At the same time, elsewhere in the Three Yin Sect, Youluo, who was acting separately, also began her slaughter.

In an instant, all kinds of enraged and terrified shouts erupted under this stretch of Celestial Realm sky.

Many people died in confusion. Normally they were the ones hunting others, yet in this night just before dawn, they had actually been invaded by such a powerful and mysterious intruder!

Stripping off the Three Yin Sect Leader’s Storage Ring, Lu Ye also swept out from another direction to join up with Youluo.

...

In the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the Three Yin Sect headquarters fell quiet once more.

But the air was already thick with the stench of blood.

At this moment, Youluo had arrived before a remote side hall. This was also the last place they hadn’t entered.

Just as she was about to go in, Lu Ye arrived swiftly from the other side and said in a low voice, "There’s something off in there... be careful."

Staring at the side hall in front of him, Lu Ye showed a hint of doubt. In his perception...

Inside the side hall, there seemed to be one and a half people.

Except, how could a person be half?

When the two entered the side hall, they immediately saw the large number of puppets displayed within!

From low tier puppets, to high tier ones comparable to Grandmasters, and even top-grade puppets comparable to Mortal Realm Grandmasters!

Looking at these puppets—existences the Three Yin Sect called Yin Puppets—Lu Ye finally understood what this place was.

This was actually where the Three Yin Sect stored its Yin Puppets!

And at the moment they stepped in, it seemed to awaken some existence.

"Yin Puppet Hall... trespassers, die!"

In a corner of the side hall, an old man who had looked like a corpse suddenly came to life.

As deathly aura poured off him, a terrifying pressure of Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer spread out as well!

Those emotionless old eyes of his regarded Lu Ye and his companion as if they were already dead.

The next moment, among the rows of Yin Puppets, one top-grade Yin Puppet comparable to a Mortal Realm Grandmaster came to life. Its baleful yin aura shot into the sky.

Under the old man’s command, the Mortal Realm Yin Puppet let out a shrill howl and charged at Lu Ye, dragging a chilling murderous intent with it.

"Youluo, it’s yours."

Seeing that Youluo at his side seemed a bit itchy to fight, Lu Ye simply handed the Yin Puppet over to her.

Empowered by puppet techniques, this Yin Puppet roughly possessed the strength of Middle Stage Mortal Realm.

And because it didn’t fear pain and was hard to damage with ordinary blades, it was something that would give a typical Mortal Realm Grandmaster Middle Stage a massive headache.

But Lu Ye believed Youluo naturally had her own ways of dealing with this Yin Puppet.

She had at least once followed Jiang Qingge to war.

"The Five Poison Sect’s trump card was that Five Poisonous Divine Centipede comparable to a Middle Stage Mortal Realm Grandmaster."

"The Three Yin Sect’s trump cards are this Palace Guardian who watches over the so-called Yin Puppet Hall, and this Mortal Realm Yin Puppet..."

He just didn’t know if, back then, using the Five Poisonous Divine Centipede to deal with the Three Yin Sect’s Mortal Realm Yin Puppet would’ve been effective...

A moment later, when he saw the scene of Youluo fighting that Yin Puppet, Lu Ye felt a bit numb.

His guess was right; Youluo could indeed handle that Yin Puppet. In a single exchange, she ripped off one of the Mortal Realm Yin Puppet’s arms, which was as hard as Refined Iron.

In the next exchange, she smashed one of the Mortal Realm Yin Puppet’s legs...

In just a few seconds, the Mortal Realm Yin Puppet, which had originally radiated savage baleful yin aura, became a crippled thing missing an arm and a leg.

Lu Ye: "..."

What a violent dismantling!

It was hard to imagine that earlier this very night... this was the same Youluo who’d been pestering him to cook, and who had lost part of her strength.

It was just a bit unsightly.

In the corner of the side hall, the bald Palace Guardian of the Yin Puppet Hall, Yin Jiu, had his gaze sharpen rapidly under the black-robed Youluo’s brutal methods!

This Yin Puppet was the strongest in the Yin Puppet Hall, and also the one whose Secret Technique was the most complete. One could even say it had already developed half a mind of its own.

The "half-person" Lu Ye had sensed earlier—half of that was this Yin Puppet.

Seeing this Mortal Realm Yin Puppet lose more than half its combat strength in just a few seconds, the Yin Puppet Hall’s Palace Guardian triggered some kind of Secret Technique...

Causing the hundreds of puppet-like corpses throughout the hall to all come to life!

"I’d like to see just how you plan to block this time!"
