107: Chapter 107 The Pledge of Allegiance

Yun Yue's voice was full of confusion, and even more so, anger and disappointment.

Hearing this, Chen Mingyuan's face instantly turned red and then white.

But he still stiffened his neck and said: "Junior Sister, while there is life, there is hope! If your life is gone, what's the point of talking about the sect's glory! The Xuanyou Sect is powerful; following them might not be a bad way out!"

"A way out? That is the wrong path!" Yun Yue glared at him, "Even if I, Yun Yue, die, I will never associate with Demonic Cultivators!"

Immortal Master Kuangdao found it interesting. He smiled at Chen Mingyuan and said: "Your Junior Sister is quite fiery, but I like it.

Chen Mingyuan, if you want to enter the Xuanyou Sect, you need to provide a Token of Allegiance. Tie up your Junior Sister! Bring her before me! Let me slowly 'enlighten' her!"

After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the chains on Chen Mingyuan's body automatically unraveled.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Yue's whole body trembled, and she screamed in fear: "Just kill me!"

What would happen to a female Cultivator captured by a Demonic Cultivator... it would definitely be a fate worse than death.

A hint of reluctance flashed in Chen Mingyuan's eyes, but to avoid death, he reached out to grab Yun Yue: "Junior Sister, I'm doing this to survive, don't blame me!"

Ye Yi and Ye Xuan, hiding in the shadows, also didn't expect this Chen Mingyuan to be so shameless.

Ye Xuan stared at this eerie Spirit-Locking Array; once any Cultivator stepped into it, their Qi would be suppressed, making them unable to use techniques.

Since no other Demonic Cultivators had appeared for a long time, it seemed that Immortal Master Kuangdao had indeed come alone.

Ye Xuan looked at Ye Yi and said: "Yi-zi, we can't wait any longer. Although this Immortal Master Kuangdao is strong, he can't use his full power right now. This is the perfect time to strike!"

Ye Yi replied in a low voice: "Alright! Big Brother, what do we do next?"

"I'll go pin down Kuangdao, you go destroy the Formation!" Ye Xuan looked at the three floating Command Tokens; the Qi fluctuations within them weren't very strong and could be destroyed using Qi.

After the two discussed, they leaped out from the shadows at the same time, like two bolts of lightning breaking the silence.

"Who?!" Immortal Master Kuangdao's expression changed drastically. He hadn't sensed anyone else nearby at all. The sudden change made him subconsciously take half a step back, looking alertly at Ye Xuan and Ye Yi.

He immediately flew into a rage: "It's you again! Constantly ruining my plans!"

Chen Mingyuan was so scared that his whole body froze. The hand reaching for Yun Yue stopped mid-air. He turned to look at the two people who suddenly appeared, his eyes full of panic.

Yun Yue was also stunned, a glimmer of hope flashing in her originally despairing eyes.

"Immortal Master Kuangdao! Your opponent is me!" Ye Xuan was the first to attack. He charged forward, stomped his feet on the ground, and pounced toward Immortal Master Kuangdao like a fierce tiger.

He swung the long sword in his hand, bringing with it the sound of breaking air.

Now that they were within the range of the Spirit-Locking Array, they couldn't use Qi and could only fight hand-to-hand.

Although Immortal Master Kuangdao's Qi consumption was excessive, he was not weak. He swung the large blade in his hand to meet Ye Xuan's long sword head-on.

The two collided, producing a loud "bang."

Ye Xuan was shaken back two steps, while Immortal Master Kuangdao's body also swayed slightly. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "I didn't expect this person to still have such strength within the Spirit-Locking Array!"

He would never have guessed that the two brothers were born into martial arts; even without the enhancement of Qi, they could fight using only their physical bodies.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Yi had already rushed in front of Chen Mingyuan. He swung the blade in his hand, gathering the Qi he could muster into this low-grade Spiritual Artifact.

This was a Spiritual Artifact given to them by the imperial court, and now they could only rely on it to break the Command Tokens.

The low-grade Spiritual Artifact blade in Ye Yi's hand, carrying weak but condensed Qi, slashed fiercely at the Command Token floating in mid-air.

This Command Token looked ordinary, but it actually carried the core power of the Spirit-Locking Array. Even if the Qi fluctuations were not strong, it still had defensive properties from the Formation's enhancement.

With a crisp "clang," the blade collided with the Command Token, producing small sparks. Ye Yi only felt his arm go numb, and the blade was slightly repelled.

The Command Token only shook a bit, and the spiritual light on its surface dimmed slightly.

"Not good, this Command Token is harder to break than expected!" Ye Yi's heart sank, and he looked up to see that Chen Mingyuan had already reacted.

A look of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Mingyuan's eyes. He knew he had just shouted to Immortal Master Kuangdao that he wanted to join the Demonic Cultivators. If these two really set him free, his Junior Sister would definitely report it to their master.

At that time, he would definitely be expelled and executed!

Moreover, one of these two was only at Qi Refining Level 5, and the other was only at Qi Refining Level 3. How could they be a match for Immortal Master Kuangdao?

After thinking it over, Chen Mingyuan decided he would provide a Token of Allegiance!

"Since you insist on meddling in other people's business, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Chen Mingyuan gritted his teeth and growled.

He swung the dragon-whiskers sword in his hand, about to stab Ye Yi fiercely. He knew that as long as he dealt with Ye Yi, who was destroying the Formation, Immortal Master Kuangdao would be free to deal with Ye Xuan.

At that time, his Token of Allegiance would be complete!

"Watch out!" Seeing this, Yun Yue immediately called out a warning.

Ye Yi immediately sensed danger from behind. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Chen Mingyuan was actually attacking him. He was instantly enraged: "Despicable villain!"

He hurriedly used his blade to block.

Chen Mingyuan's sword grazed his shoulder and missed, stabbing heavily into the stone wall behind him with a dull thud.

"Chen Mingyuan! What are you doing! You're actually aiding the enemy!" Ye Yi really didn't expect this person to be so base.

To save his own life, he didn't hesitate to attack his own Junior Sister, and now he turned around to sneak attack the person trying to save him.

"Stop talking! If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for ruining my plans!" Chen Mingyuan's eyes were sinister. When one sword strike missed, he pulled the sword back and attacked Ye Yi again.

The Qingyun Sect would absolutely not tolerate a traitor like him. He might as well go all the way. Ye Yi was only at Qi Refining Level 3, and he was confident he could take him down.

Seeing this, Ye Yi knew this person was truly beyond redemption. While staying alert to Chen Mingyuan's attacks, he also had to find a way to destroy the Command Token. His situation suddenly became difficult.

Immortal Master Kuangdao, who was fighting Ye Xuan, saw this and a cruel smile appeared on his face: "Good! A wise man submits to circumstances! Chen Mingyuan, as long as you take down this kid, the gates of the Xuanyou Sect will be open to you at any time!"

With Immortal Master Kuangdao's promise, Chen Mingyuan worked even harder, his attacks becoming increasingly fierce.

Even though Chen Mingyuan's Qi Refining Sixth Layer cultivation was suppressed, Ye Yi still found it extremely difficult to fight him.

The situation on Ye Xuan's side was also not optimistic. Although Immortal Master Kuangdao's Qi consumption was excessive, he was an established Cultivator after all. Even in hand-to-hand combat, the large blade in his hand whistled through the air.

This caused Ye Xuan to gradually fall into a disadvantage, and several wounds had already appeared on his body.

"This can't go on!" Ye Xuan thought to himself. He knew he had to break the stalemate immediately.

He secretly took out the Talismans from the Storage Pouch at his waist that he had been reluctant to use. These were all sent by Gui Yun and had been kept by him.

Now was the time to use them!

Ye Xuan immediately pulled out an Explosive Talisman. A Talisman only requires a small amount of Qi to use, and its power is quite astonishing.

He condensed a tiny bit of Qi and tapped it onto the Explosive Talisman.

In an instant, the Talisman emitted a blinding red light, and a violent surge of energy swept out. Without hesitation, he threw the Talisman at Immortal Master Kuangdao's feet.

"Not good!" Immortal Master Kuangdao's pupils constricted. He was also someone who had used Talismans before, so he naturally knew their danger.

He instinctively wanted to retreat and dodge, but his body was half a beat slow due to the lack of Qi.

"Boom!"

The violent explosion was deafening, sending Immortal Master Kuangdao flying.

But it wasn't over yet. Ye Xuan threw out several more such Explosive Talismanic Incantation to attack Immortal Master Kuangdao.

The power of this Explosive Talisman was not small; it exploded upon contact, tearing flesh and blood apart.
