Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 514 - 194: Broken Star Pavilion

...

"..."

Watching Gu Ye’s adorable face and sweet voice burst into hearty laughter, Lin Zheyu felt rather strange.

However, he only dared to complain in his heart, not out loud.

Senior Sister Gu Ye is not like Senior Sister Wenzi. Although Senior Sister Wenzi is as straightforward as a man and acts with grace,

her personality is gentle and thoughtful, unlike how she presents herself.

But Senior Sister Gu Ye is different.

She is a veritable tomboy, even more fierce than Luo Manghan.

As long as Lin Zheyu dared to speak his thoughts just now, he would definitely be pinned to the ground by Senior Sister Gu Ye and rubbed hard.

Lin Zheyu followed Gu Ye into Tengshe Mountain.

The whole mountain was well transformed, with patches of medicinal fields systematically arranged.

"How did you escape from those demon martial artists just now?"

Gu Ye asked curiously.

She and that guy who had transformed into a half-demon had been entangled for a long time, neither gaining the upper hand.

The difference in strength between them was not significant, and if they really went all out, even if they won, it would be a pyrrhic victory.

Therefore, neither the half-demon nor Gu Ye reached a life-and-death battle.

After a while of fighting, the half-demon seemed worried about being discovered and supported by others, assuming Lin Zheyu was already taken care of, so he left on his own.

Gu Ye followed the tracks left by Lin Zheyu, tracing back to their battlefield, only to find the bodies of several demon martial artists and no sight of Lin Zheyu. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"I have a good lightweight skill, plus I used a secret technique to shake them off."

"If it weren’t for a senior’s timely intervention to deal with them, I would soon have run out of stamina and been caught by them."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

This was the excuse he had long prepared.

"Did you see what the senior who helped you looked like?"

Although Gu Ye was a bit suspicious, she believed Lin Zheyu’s words.

She couldn’t fathom how a martial artist at the Bone Marrow Refining Realm could so swiftly and cleanly kill five demon martial artists with Transforming Force strength.

Even the first on the Hidden Dragon List from generations couldn’t accomplish it.

Although most of them have the strength to challenge levels above their own, equaling Transforming Force martial artists,

facing one of those demon martial artists alone, there might be a chance to defeat them, but not so effortlessly, only with a hard-fought victory.

That’s under a one-on-one situation where there’s a chance of winning.

Facing five at once offers no chance of victory.

Hence, Gu Ye had no suspicion about Lin Zheyu’s words.

She was curious about which senior intervened.

Gu Ye inspected the traces at the scene and couldn’t sense any residual True Force aura.

"No."

"At that time, I was focused on running away," Lin Zheyu shook his head and said.

"Mm, your approach was correct."

"The person who helped must be a highly skilled senior. I couldn’t sense any True Force aura remaining at the scene."

"That senior controls True Force at a terrifying level, perhaps already on the path to becoming a Grandmaster."

Gu Ye said.

Warriors who can cultivate True Force to such an extent are, without exception, terrifyingly powerful.

If Gu Ye knew that the person who helped had no trace of True Force in their body, driven purely by an extremely powerful Qi Blood physique, she’d be astounded.

Gu Ye was very familiar with Tengshe Mountain, having guarded it many times.

When they arrived, the disciples and followers along the way greeted them respectfully.

Throughout the journey, Gu Ye was controlling the True Force within her, expelling the residual Yin Sha energy from her body.

The mixed mist continuously rose from her body.

"Senior Sister, is this Yin Sha energy so troublesome?"

Lin Zheyu curiously asked as he watched the Yin Sha energy rising from Senior Sister Gu Ye’s body.

When he used Qi Blood to dispel it, he found it quite easy, just costly in terms of Qi Blood.

Logically, True Force should be stronger than Qi Blood, making it easier to handle the residual Yin Sha energy.

"The usual demon martial artists don’t have such troublesome Yin Sha energy."

"But that person was different; they didn’t follow the path of a pure demon martial artist but transformed themselves into a half-demon."

"A large portion of the Yin Sha energy in their body has already transformed into Demon Essence."

"Demon Essence refers to the special energy possessed by true demons."

Gu Ye explained.

The essence of a demon’s Demon Essence is incredibly powerful, far surpassing a martial artist’s True Force.

True demons have terrifying strength beyond measure, the weakest among them being at the Grandmaster level.

The tales of demons and living corpses Lin Zheyu heard in Songyi City didn’t refer to true demons.

Those living corpses and demons were creatures transformed by being assimilated by Yin Sha energy after exposure.

Most living corpses were proactive, attempting to cultivate immortality through ancient techniques, but lost their consciousness to Yin Sha energy, yet acquired a body of iron skin.

Most ordinary demons were passive, transformed after prolonged exposure to Yin Sha energy and being slowly assimilated by it.

The term for living corpses and ordinary demons, in Gu Ye’s words, is "Demon Puppets."

Within the demon race, there’s a strict bloodline hierarchy suppression.

Just like vampires from a previous life.

True demons can easily control demon puppets and creatures turned into ordinary demons by Yin Sha energy, like puppets.

The name "Demon Puppet" derives from this.

"Can true demons control demon puppets?"
