Chapter 415: Chapter 413: Breakthrough to the Eighth Layer! Xiao Qingyin Buys Time for Lu Ye’s Escape? Divine Finger Technique!

"Are you sure that person is over here?" asked He Ding, a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Ninth Layer from the Celestial Curtain Prefecture.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yun replied with a confident smile, "I’m sure. Earlier, I was quite close to him, and I discreetly left the scent of the Thousand-Mile Soul-Seeking Flower on him. This scent can linger on someone for almost a week; he couldn’t possibly suspect it!"

He Ding joined in the laughter, saying, "You always have a way. I reckon he’s doomed and still has no idea how he will die."

Yang Yun sensed for a moment, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"He’s not far ahead, and it seems he hasn’t moved."

In less than two minutes, the two figures simultaneously descended outside the cave.

This disturbance instantly alerted Xiao Qingyin, who was cultivating inside the cave.

Forcing Xiao Qingyin to abruptly stop her cultivation and retreat.

The next moment, her face changed drastically as she watched the two people directly stride into the cave.

She hadn’t expected that the two from the Celestial Curtain Prefecture, whom she previously encountered outside and were clearly hostile...

had come knocking at her door!

Danger!

At that moment, many countermeasures flashed through Xiao Qingyin’s mind.

But she found that most of them seemed unusable.

As a mere Martial Arts Grandmaster, in front of these two Mortal Realm Grandmaster Ninth Layers...

she was no more than an ant.

Nothing more than a slightly stronger ant compared to those of the Innate Realm.

Forcing herself to calm down, Xiao Qingyin feigned confusion and respectfully inquired of the two.

"Honored Seniors, what brings you here?"

Yang Yun confirmed the location once more, finding no error, and looked coldly at Xiao Qingyin, who had previously been by the side of the man, and said.

"Move aside."

Xiao Qingyin forced a smile, saying, "It’s just me here, Seniors. Are you looking for something? If I have seen it before, I won’t hide it."

"I said... move aside!" Yang Yun’s eyes turned somber: "I’m in a good mood right now, and I might spare you, but don’t wait for my patience to wear thin."

With a low laugh, Xiao Qingyin helplessly said, "Seniors are powerful; you can take my life whenever you wish, but... really, there’s no one else in the cave."

The disturbance outside the cave, Xiao Qingyin deliberately didn’t lower her voice, and it easily traveled into the inner cave.

She hoped that Lu Ye, hearing her voice, would find an opportunity to escape.

As for herself...

it was clear she couldn’t escape.

In this situation, Xiao Qingyin was very clear that if one could run, the other should.

"You’re courting death?!" Yang Yun obviously had no patience to waste time with Xiao Qingyin outside.

Seeing that Xiao Qingyin persistently blocked the path, he immediately gathered momentum and struck a palm aimed at the Martial Dao Grandmaster, whom he viewed as an ant.

Even if a Mortal Realm Grandmaster of First or Second Layer were to arrive, they typically wouldn’t withstand it, let alone a mere Martial Arts Grandmaster?

Xiao Qingyin originally wasn’t too keen on resisting anymore, after all, her strength before the two was no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

But thinking that if she resisted for one or two seconds, she might delay for an extra moment, Xiao Qingyin gritted her teeth, gathered Grandmaster’s Source Qi, and struggled to raise a protective shield around her body.

Watching Xiao Qingyin’s rather comical action, Yang Yun’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.

Thinking such a defense shield could withstand his attack?

What did they take Yang Yun for?

Meanwhile, inside the cave.

From the moment Yang Yun and He Ding descended outside the cave, Lu Ye had already sensed them.

At this moment, Lu Ye was refining the final trace of Origin Spirit Liquid’s energy within him.

When Yang Yun chose to strike Xiao Qingyin, Lu Ye happened to complete the refining, instantly wrapping up.

The instant the Wandering Dragon Four-Pole Transformation flickered out, he raised a fist and blasted it forward!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, the walls of the narrow cave passage were shaking, stone fragments rolled down, dust rose everywhere!

Seeing Lu Ye suddenly appear beside her, taking Yang Yun’s blow, Xiao Qingyin was momentarily dumbfounded.

All her efforts to make noise didn’t make him run?!

Was that not just a waste of effort...

Xiao Qingyin slightly opened her mouth, momentarily not sure what to say.

Were they going to die together after all?

"I thought you’d play dead and hide inside instead of coming out."

Yang Yun’s eyes were sharp as they swept over Lu Ye.

He wasn’t surprised that Lu Ye blocked the attack.

After all, he only exerted strength akin to a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Third Layer, originally just intending to kill the persistent Xiao Qingyin.

This person was the recent number one on the East Cang List and had left behind a record on the stele at the Fourth Layer of a Mortal Realm Grandmaster.

After receiving feedback from the East Cang Stele, Yang Yun thought that conservatively estimating it as a Grandmaster Fifth Layer wasn’t a problem.

"Why are the people from the Celestial Curtain Prefecture chasing me?" Lu Ye asked calmly.

"Naturally, someone hired us," Yang Yun replied coolly, "If I were you, I’d surrender now and not waste any more time."

"Source Qi doesn’t discriminate. If you surrender now, I might spare you. If you resist..."

As he said this, Yang Yun’s aura suddenly became turbulent, causing the entire cave to once again have rocks falling as if unable to bear such pressure.

Meanwhile, He Ding, observing Lu Ye’s calm demeanor, couldn’t help but feel something was amiss.

The opponent’s expression... was abnormally calm.

This wasn’t the demeanor of someone facing imminent death.

Unless the opponent had some confidence to face them like this.

But thinking further, He Ding wondered if he was overthinking it.

What trump card could give someone, at most a Third or Fourth Layer of a Mortal Realm Grandmaster, confidence to face two Ninth Layers?

If they truly had such a card, then the world had gone mad!

So, He Ding suppressed that unsettling feeling, leaving Yang Yun at the front while he retreated a few steps, blocking the cave’s only entrance.

"Did the people from the Celestial Profound Sect send you?" After contemplating for a moment, Lu Ye asked, "Since you found this place so precisely, you must have left some mark on me."

"Since you’re already here, then... stay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ye’s right hand formed a Finger Technique Seal and swiftly pointed towards Yang Yun!

Above the cave, a mysterious Yin Yang Diagram manifested, as if finger seals formed by the convergence of heaven and earth energy pierced through space, aiming to suppress Yang Yun!

"Lower Grade Finger Technique Divine Techniques?!"

In that instant, Yang Yun’s face was shaken.

Belonging to a top faction of the Hidden Spirit Land, Lower Grade Divine Techniques weren’t enough to startle Yang Yun.

He was shocked because it was a remarkably rare esoteric Finger Technique Divine Techniques!
