15: Chapter 15 Master Saves the Day, Capture Du Yu Fan

Outer Sect Disciple Immortal Cave.

Bai Yunzhou looked at the approaching Flying Sword, his complexion looking extremely terrible.

In his current state, let alone an Inner Sect Disciple at Foundation Establishment, he was no match even for an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Could it be that I am truly going to fall here!"

However!

Just as the Flying Sword was about to strike him, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if frozen in place.

At the same time, a calm voice came from all directions.

"As an Inner Sect Disciple, you dare to ambush and kill this Elder's Disciple; are you seeking death?"

As the voice fell, it felt like a great mountain pressing down, actually forcing the Inner Sect youth before Bai Yunzhou to kneel on the spot, vomiting blood, and suffering direct, severe injuries.

Following his kneeling, the Flying Sword that was close at hand also fell to the ground, making a 'clanging' sound.

Seeing this, Bai Yunzhou felt as if his entire body had instantly lost all strength, and he slumped to the ground.

"I actually survived?"

Just at this moment, Elder Zhou Mu's questioning voice arrived.

"What is going on here?"

Bai Yunzhou looked up and realized that his Revered Master had come to save the day.

To be honest, he felt a bit embarrassed.

Having just become a Disciple, he already needed someone to save him.

However, he was also very fortunate right now that he had apprenticed before leaving.

Otherwise, he would have truly been done for today.

"Reporting to Revered Master, this Disciple just returned to retrieve some items, and then I was assassinated by him."

Bai Yunzhou pointed at that Inner Sect youth and continued to speak.

"However, he is not the mastermind; the one who wants to deal with me should be Du Yufan."

"Du Yufan?"

Elder Zhou Mu frowned slightly.

Bai Yunzhou quickly explained Du Yufan's identity and the conflict between them simply, and then continued.

"Revered Master, I am now an Inner Sect Disciple. Since he found someone to ambush and kill me, shouldn't he be held accountable by the Sect?"

According to the rules of the Qingxuan Sect, if a Disciple of Inner Sect rank or higher is ambushed and killed by a fellow Disciple, the assailant will have their cultivation crippled at best, and their soul extracted and spirit refined at worst.

Du Yufan had sent people repeatedly to cause him trouble, and even wanted to kill him.

There was already an irreconcilable enmity between the two.

Now that there was an opportunity, he naturally would not let the other party go.

Just as Elder Zhou Mu was about to speak, she sensed some movement in the Inner Sect youth's embrace.

She immediately raised her hand, and a Jade Slip fell into her hand.

At this moment, Du Yufan's urgent voice was coming from the Jade Slip.

"Jiang Ran, return quickly! That Bai Yunzhou is already an Inner Sect Disciple and has even apprenticed to that female killing god, Elder Zhou Mu. He cannot be killed!"

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Yunzhou.

"Du Yufan, it really is you!"

"Bai Yunzhou?"

From the other end of the Jade Slip came Du Yufan's astonished voice, and then there was no more sound from the Jade Slip.

Bai Yunzhou's expression was ugly.

And just at this time, in the distant sky, another figure arrived on a Flying Sword.

When the other party got closer, Bai Yunzhou recognized the person's identity; it was Elder Bai Yan, the Outer Sect Elder who was responsible for judging during the previous Outer Sect Test.

As soon as Elder Bai Yan landed, he bowed to Elder Zhou Mu.

"Greetings, Elder Zhou."

Although both were Elders, one was Inner Sect and one was Outer Sect.

And because the gap in strength was large, he naturally needed to bow after seeing Elder Zhou Mu.

Then he noticed Bai Yunzhou on the side, so he also nodded with a smile, which counted as a greeting.

After all, on the square outside earlier, Bai Yunzhou's performance was truly brilliant.

Plus, the other party had already been taken in as a Disciple by Elder Zhou Mu.

Therefore, even though he was an Elder, he was quite polite to Bai Yunzhou.

Seeing this, Bai Yunzhou returned the bow, while thinking to himself.

"Sure enough, when you are out in the world, you still have to rely on connections. If I were just an ordinary top Outer Sect Disciple, this Elder Bai Yan would definitely not be this polite to me."

After exchanging greetings, Elder Bai Yan turned his head to look at the severely injured Disciple kneeling on the ground.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask what was going on, several figures flew over on Flying Swords in the distance and landed in front of the Immortal Cave.

Bai Yunzhou sized up the newcomers. The leader was a burly middle-aged man wearing the attire of a Law Enforcement Hall Elder, with a stern face.

Behind him followed several Law Enforcement Hall Disciples.

"Greetings, Elder Ding Zhuo."

Elder Bai Yan took the initiative to greet him again.

Bai Yunzhou realized and also bowed in salute.

However, regarding the salutes of the two, this Elder Ding Zhuo only nodded slightly before casting his gaze onto Elder Zhou Mu.

"Junior Sister Zhou, why are you here?"

Elder Ding Zhuo was quite puzzled, then his gaze glanced at the severely injured Inner Sect Disciple, and he asked cautiously.

"Could it be that this brat offended Junior Sister Zhou just now?"

Previously, he was responsible for the Sect's daily patrols when he suddenly sensed the terrifying aura of a Core Formation Cultivator released in the Outer Sect, so he rushed over immediately.

And thus, the scene before him unfolded.

"He did not offend me; he wanted to kill my Disciple!"

Hearing this, Elder Ding Zhuo was stunned for a moment.

"Junior Sister Zhou has taken a Disciple?"

Elder Zhou Mu turned to look at Bai Yunzhou, signaling him to take a step forward.

"This is my newly accepted Disciple, Bai Yunzhou."

Then, she introduced Elder Ding Zhuo's identity to Bai Yunzhou.

"He is an Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Ding Zhuo. You can just call him Senior Martial Uncle Ding."

"Greetings, Senior Martial Uncle Ding."

Bai Yunzhou bowed again.

And this time, Elder Ding Zhuo's attitude toward him changed significantly. He first looked him up and down, and then praised.

"Good, worthy of being a Disciple favored by Junior Sister Zhou. Truly a dragon and phoenix among men. As soon as I arrived, I could see your extraordinary nature, kid."

Your attitude just now was not like this...

After Elder Ding Zhuo finished speaking, he prepared to continue discussing the issue of this severely injured Disciple.

But noticing that Elder Zhou Mu's gaze was still on him, he hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from his storage ring and introduced.

"This item is called Spirit Gathering Liquid. Its efficacy is similar to a spirit gathering pill, but the effect is a hundred times better."

"If taken to be sold, just this small bottle would be worth at least ten thousand Spirit Stones, and it is priceless."

"Since you called me Senior Martial Uncle Ding, I will gift this item to you."

As he spoke, he handed it to Bai Yunzhou with some heartache.

Ten thousand Spirit Stones?

Bai Yunzhou was overjoyed and hurriedly accepted it.

Previously, as an Outer Sect Disciple, his monthly resources were only five Spirit Stones. How long would it take to save up ten thousand Spirit Stones?

Sure enough, apprenticing feels great; you can receive gifts anytime, anywhere.

"Many thanks, Senior Martial Uncle Ding."

Elder Ding Zhuo nodded with some heartache, then turned his gaze back to the severely injured Disciple and asked about the cause of the incident.

Elder Zhou Mu signaled for Bai Yunzhou to recount the course of events again.

After understanding the sequence of events, Elder Ding Zhuo said angrily.

"This Du Yufan is truly bold and reckless, actually daring to hire someone to kill within the Sect!"

"Junior Martial Nephew Bai, rest assured. What our Law Enforcement Hall excels at is the soul searching technique!"

He glanced at Jiang Ran lying on the ground and said coldly.

"Leave this person to this old man; I will definitely make him spit out everything he knows, and at that time, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Regarding this, Bai Yunzhou naturally nodded.

Elder Zhou Mu on the side frowned slightly, but in the end, did not say anything.

"Since that is the case, then this matter will be left to Senior Brother to handle."

After Elder Zhou Mu finished speaking, she prepared to take Bai Yunzhou away.

However!

Just at this moment, the severely injured Inner Sect Disciple suddenly exploded, striking a blood seal at Bai Yunzhou.

"It is the Blood Demon Sect's Blood Soul Seal!"

Elder Zhou Mu reacted quickly, suppressing the Disciple with a backhand, killing him on the spot.

However, she was still one step too late; the blood seal had already submerged into Bai Yunzhou's body.

Elder Ding Zhuo came back to his senses, his complexion looking extremely terrible, and he gritted his teeth.

"This child is actually a spy of the demonic Sect!"

Elder Zhou Mu quickly came to Bai Yunzhou, released her Divine Sense, and examined his body with a solemn expression.

Elder Bai Yan on the side cast his gaze on Bai Yunzhou, showing a look of sympathy.

Bai Yunzhou felt slightly puzzled by this.

He did not seem to feel anything unusual, so why would his Revered Master show such a solemn expression?

Suddenly, he thought of the words his Revered Master said just now, so he asked.

"Revered Master, what is this Blood Soul Seal?"

Elder Zhou Mu, while checking his body, explained.

"This Blood Soul Seal is a secret technique of the Blood Demon Sect. If one is hit by it, at most in three months, they will fall due to the depletion of blood Qi."

Hearing this, Bai Yunzhou carefully felt the changes in his own body, and only then did he realize that the blood Qi in his body was depleting.

Although the speed of depletion was slow, and even if one did not observe carefully, it could not be detected.

But it was indeed constantly depleting.

This made him dumbfounded immediately. He had finally managed to apprentice into the Inner Sect, only to end up hit by Du Yufan's trick?

He looked at his Revered Master and hurriedly asked.

"Is there no remedy?"

At this moment, Elder Zhou Mu had already finished checking his condition.

"This blood seal is a secret technique of the Blood Demon Sect. Only the core Elders of the Blood Demon Sect have the method to unlock it."

"Or, the cultivation of the one who is sealed surpasses the one who placed the seal."

She said, glancing at the demonic Sect spy she had slapped to death.

"In other words, as long as your cultivation can reach Mid Foundation Establishment, this seal can be unlocked automatically."

Reach Mid Foundation Establishment within three months?

Bai Yunzhou felt despair in his heart.

He was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining right now; how could he possibly reach Mid Foundation Establishment in such a short time?

"Damn Du Yufan, truly bullying people too much!"

If it weren't for the other party sending people to target him, how could he have been hit by this Blood Soul Seal?

Elder Zhou Mu saw the anger in Bai Yunzhou's eyes, pondered slightly, and then said.

"Let's go, Revered Master will take you to kill someone!"

After saying that, she immediately took Bai Yunzhou, scooped up the demonic Cultivator spy, soared into the sky, and flew toward the direction of the Du Family.

Seeing this, Elder Ding Zhuo's expression changed drastically. He wanted to stop them, but they had already gone far away.

As the Senior Brother of Elder Zhou Mu, he had known her for decades and naturally knew her personality.

The words just now were definitely not said in jest.

And the killing she mentioned certainly would not just be killing Du Yufan alone.

"I must inform the Sect Master Senior Brother about this matter, otherwise the Du Family will definitely flow with blood!"
