Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Breaking the Sky_1

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here! If you really want to repay me, just stay alive. That way, my efforts to save you these three times won’t be in vain." Ye Qingci’s attitude remained cold and aloof.

Su Chengyu smirked and said, "Whether it was out of convenience or not, you know best."

Ye Qingci raised her brow, glaring at Su Chengyu. He immediately fell silent, put away his smile and hurriedly walked down the cliffside.

After Su Chengyu had gone a considerable distance, he slowed down, rubbed his chin and said, "Aunt Ye’s behavior this time was different from the previous two encounters. Odd."

In their previous meetings, Ye Qingci, while always as aloof and as transcendent as a celestial fairy, had been relatively cordial to him. But this time, she was noticeably colder, as if she was consciously distancing herself from him.

Su Chengyu didn’t bother trying to decipher Ye Qingci’s thoughts. Women’s hearts were like needles at the bottom of the sea, and the thoughts of a celestial being like Ye Qingci were even harder to fathom.

At the top of the cliff, Su Chengyu having left, Ye Qingci’s complexion turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

She hurriedly took out an elixir and placed it in her mouth, then sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing and recuperate.

During this hurried mission to slay demons on Bayue Mountain, she hadn’t expected to encounter a top-ranking Demon King on the brink of breaking into the Demon Monarch Realm, his power comparable to hers.

Ye Qingci battled the Demon King valiantly, leaving him mortally wounded. Knowingly facing certain demise, the Demon King, out of deep-rooted hatred for Ye Qingci, attempted to die with her by detonating his Demon Core, which severely injured her in the process.

Concerned about Su Chengyu’s safety and without time to tend to her wounds, she flew over a thousand kilometers to reach Lin Jiang, worsening her injuries.

Within Ye Qingci’s body, a strain of demonic power was wreaking havoc, requiring her to recuperate in peace for a while to fully purge the demonic power and heal her injuries.

She didn’t want Su Chengyu to see her injured, so she feigned indifference and sent him away.

As night gradually fell, Ye Qingci managed to suppress the demonic power inside her and stabilize her injuries temporarily. She opened her eyes.

Ye Qingci stood at the edge of the cliff, lingering for a long while before sighing softly, "It’s not that I’m unwilling to give you the Spirit Pill, but the path of cultivation requires you to tread each step yourself. Overdoing the help can spoil your growth, which will be harmful, not beneficial."

Speaking to herself, Ye Qingci flipped her jade hand and a green Immortal Sword appeared in her grasp.

This Immortal Sword bore a similar design to Su Chengyu’s Dragon Slayer Sword. As Ye Qingci gently stroked the sword, green light circulated on its body, a sentence engraved upon it.

"Single-handedly grasp the stars to topple heaven and earth."

This inscription was comparable to the one on the Dragon Slayer Sword: Wielding the sword to slay demons and dragons.

This sword was named Sky-splitting.

"Do you see it? He is gradually maturing. Perhaps one day, the Dragon Slayer Sword will shine again in his hands, and he will restore the glory of the Su family. Are you also waiting for your master to return?"

The Sky-splitting Sword seemingly understood Ye Qingci’s words, and it let out a humming sound in her hands.

"Who’s there!"

Ye Qingci’s eyes flashed with a cold light, as she abruptly turned around, slashing out a green Sword Qi with the Sky-splitting Sword in her hand.

Being as powerful as she was, even a casual sword slash from Ye Qingci carried significant power. However, this strike ended up dissipating as if cast into the sea, without causing any ripples.

In the shadow of the cliff stood a slightly hunchbacked figure, holding an antique-looking mirror. The mirror reflected changing scenes, as if clouds were shifting and billows rolling.

Ye Qingci’s powerful strike was absorbed by this mirror.

"The Illusory Mirror! You’re from the Yun family."

"You shouldn’t have given him the Dragon Slayer Sword."

The person who accepted the Illusory Mirror spoke, her voice somewhat old and hoarse, resembling an elderly woman’s voice.

"That’s none of your business."

Even though Ye Qingci did not recognize this person, she understood her identity from the Illusory Mirror in her hand. The Illusory Mirror was a treasure of the Yun Family from the Ancient Clan, and almost all cultivators of the Yun Family possessed this treasure.

The old woman came out of the darkness. It was the grey-eyed old woman who appeared in Lin Jiang before. Her pair of pupils were grey which looked rather eerie.

"You will get him killed. What’s your objective?" the grey-eyed old woman asked.

"Anything I do, I do not need to explain to you. Why are you here in Lin Jiang?" Ye Qingci responded coldly.

"I am here under orders to take him where he needs to go," explained the grey-eyed old woman.

"With me here, you will not be able to take him away."

A green glow shone from the Sky-splitting Sword in Ye Qingci’s hand, making it incredibly dazzling in the darkness.

"Who would have thought you’d have both the Sky-splitting Sword and the Dragon Slayer Sword. If you were at full strength, I might not stand a chance. But you’re injured now, even with the Sky-splitting Sword assisting you, I might still be able to defeat you."

The grey-eyed old woman summoned the Illusory Mirror again. The cloud sea in the mirror churned, producing myriad illusions. The mirror gleamed brilliantly and was as mystical as ever.

"Even with my injuries, I have enough power to kill you."

A cold light sparkled in Ye Qingci’s eyes. The sea breeze billowed her hair, showcasing her powerful and unrivaled stance.

"The girl from the Ye Family is indeed extraordinary. Even though you’re injured, you’re still so confident. If we fight, it may end up with both sides suffering, dying together. Would you risk your life for him?" The grey-eyed old woman let out a shrill laugh, like a night owl.

"Cut the chatter, if you want to take him away, you’ll have to leave your life behind today."

With these words, Ye Qingci attacked with her Sky-splitting Sword. The sword cut through the air, its dazzling radiance encompassing the area around them.

"Stop, stop, stop! I was just joking, there’s no need to get violent."

The grey-eyed old woman released a brilliant glow from the Illusory Mirror in her hand, enveloping her, and quickly spoke.

Ye Qingci, hearing this, frowned slightly, then slowly descended to the ground, though the sword Qi around her did not dissipate.

"I mean no harm to Su Chengyu. If I did, I would have captured him long ago, no need to wait until today." The grey-eyed old woman clearly feared Ye Qingci.

"Speak clearly, what’s your motive? If you utter a single lie, even if I fall gravely injured or lose my cultivation, I will kill you." Ye Qingci threatened, her murderous intention apparent.

"I am on orders from the young lady to search for her flesh and blood. It took me nearly twenty years to find him," explained the grey-eyed old woman.

"Yun Qingluo?" Ye Qingci furrowed her brows, seemingly displeased at the mention of the name.

"Yes, it’s Miss Qingluo! She yearns to see her own flesh and blood, hoping for a mother-son reunion every day," the grey-eyed old woman said.

Ye Qingci scoffed, apparently harbouring a great deal of resentment towards Yun Qingluo. "Feigning affection! Would someone like her even care about her son now?"

"What are you saying? Blood is thicker than water, of course she cares about her biological son! Miss Qingluo has never forgotten her own flesh and blood. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had me search for him for over twenty years," the grey-eyed old woman said.

"Enough! I don’t want to hear that person’s name anymore." Ye Qingci pointed her sword with a murderous look on her face, seemingly losing control of her emotions.
