Chu Qing initially worried that these three puppet corpses were indestructible. Now that they have perished in such a state, even if the Silk Thread Puppetry had myriad divine powers, it would be difficult to restore them.

At this moment, an extreme sense of danger suddenly arose in his heart!

This feeling came without warning, as if the moment of death had arrived in an instant.

"Netherworld Rebirth Technique?"

Chu Qing’s thoughts shifted, and with a spin of his body, he leaped out the window. At that moment, a gaze landed on the spot where Chu Qing had just been.

At the entrance of the stairs stood a man holding a bandage in his hand, precisely Shi Ye, the Soul-capturing Guard!

A deathly cold and eerie look shone from his eyes.

His eyes slightly reddened as if blood was brewing, yet it did not flow out.

The next moment, he closed his eyes and descended the stairs.

By the time his figure reached the first floor of the Celestial Secret Tower, he had already retied the bandage.

Meanwhile, the first floor was filled with disciples of the Celestial Evil Cult.

On the ground lay white powder... that was Yellow Springs Powder!

Shi Ye was spared because he happened to be on this staircase when the Yellow Springs Powder fell, and he repelled it with Gang Wind.

He then hurried to the upper level... but even so, he was a step late.

He couldn’t keep Chu Qing behind.

Shi Ye listened intently to the situation on the first floor, veins bulging on his forehead:

"Someone, open the way."

The disciples of the Celestial Evil Cult immediately descended the stairs. Two figures leaped forward, and with a palm strike, landed on a disciple lying in the Yellow Springs Powder.

The disciple let out a miserable scream, and his body began to melt, with blood gushing all over, soaking the Yellow Springs Powder on the ground.

Even though the Yellow Springs Powder is potent, it is not unbeatable.

Whether by washing with water or burning with fire, it cannot withstand.

Shi Ye commanded to open the way, using the blood of these people to cleanse the ground.

Now he had no time to waste... he had to reach the vicinity of the underground Blood Pool as quickly as possible to report the occurrences within the Celestial Secret Tower to the Prince.

Whether to fight or withdraw, a decision had to be made.

But before that, he issued another order:

"Lay in ambush in front of the Celestial Secret Tower, wait for them to arrive, and catch them off guard.

"Infuse the corpses with Blood Transformation Palm Force, throw them into the Celestial Secret Tower."

"Yes."

The disciples of the Celestial Evil Cult obeyed the order, even if the cult asked them to die, they would do so without hesitation.

And as disciples of the Celestial Evil Cult fell one by one under the Blood Transformation Divine Palm, the ground was washed with blood, clearing a path.

Leading directly to a platform on the innermost side of the main hall.

Shi Ye led two disciples to the front of the platform and gently pressed on a relief on the platform with his hand.

The platform immediately moved to the side, revealing a hidden passage.

Looking back in the direction of the Celestial Secret Tower’s main door, even though his eyes were wrapped in a bandage, it seemed as if he could see clearly.

Finally, he took a step into the hidden passage.

The passage was not too deep, winding down for a short while, when a cave appeared ahead.

A figure in a gray robe, wearing a mask with the word "Mu," sat amidst a heap of coffins, looking up at the cave’s ceiling.

There protruded a point, resembling a funnel, with drops of fresh blood trickling down.

Falling into a dried-up pool below.

In the center of the pool lay a black garment exuding an ancient air.

It was gradually being stained by fresh blood, but showed no particular peculiarity.

"What happened?"

Prince Mu’s voice was hollow, as if it echoed out from a tomb.

Just hearing this voice made one’s heart feel uneasy.

Shi Ye knelt on one knee:

"Prince, Third Young Master Mad Saber has entered Celestial Secret Valley.

"I’m afraid Sang Qing has fallen into his hands, and the layout within the valley has been destroyed... What should be our next move?"

Prince Mu Zanghan spoke indifferently:

"Third Young Master Mad Saber... where did this person come from, have you investigated clearly?"

"He came from Celestial Dance City."

Shi Ye said:

"It seems he was entrusted by the Chu Family of Celestial Dance City to escort Gentle to Luochun Manor.

"However, this person has never shown up in the Martial World before, and if investigated further, there is no clue how he became associated with the Chu Family.

"His martial arts are unique, and his saber technique, palm technique, and fist technique are considered the Three Extremes.

"His inner strength is of an extremely cold lineage, yet completely different from what we know..."

Prince Mu lowered his head to fiddle with his fingers:

"I recall someone outstanding emerged from Celestial Dance City before this." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Night Emperor."

Shi Ye spoke calmly:

"His name is quite renowned, seemingly aiming to challenge the positions of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns.

"But just an assassin...

"His sword technique astonished everyone.

"However, within the Divine Blade Hall, in front of hundreds, he showcased a mastery of the Flying Knife Technique.

"Though Pei Wuji only cultivated the Myriad Destruction Yin Thunder Technique to the Fifth Layer of the realm, he was unable to unleash any power and fell under his flying knife.

"Yet..."

At this point, Shi Ye hesitated.

"Speak."

Prince Mu flicked his nails, neither distraught over the disruption of the Celestial Secret Valley nor full of killing intent due to Chu Qing’s sudden rise.

He seemed like an ordinary leisurely person, quietly listening to tales of the Martial World.

As he reached the critical part, the storyteller even began to withhold information.

Causing a tinge of displeasure at his heart.

Shi Ye immediately spoke:

"However, information from several channels returned, with a few common points.

"When the Night Emperor utilized his inner power in Celestial Dance City, there was no sign of a cold aura.

"But when he dealt with Jiang Divine Saber in the Divine Blade Hall, someone seemed to have seen frost qi covering his sword.
