Ye Lin reached out his hand, and immediately, the spring water transformed into swirling vortices, pushing the emerald green bottle to the surface.
After putting the bottle into his space ring, Ye Lin intended to leave.
Suddenly, a purple Yao Beast, resembling a tiger, stood before Ye Lin, whimpering and crying.
Ye Lin immediately recognized it as the Yao Beast that had attacked him earlier.
"Retreat quickly."
Ye Lin took out Evil Slayer and pointed it at the Yao Beast in front of him.
Yao Beasts are divided into good and bad; some are bloodthirsty, while others are kind-natured, and the one before him belonged to the kind-natured group.
Even though it had attacked him just now, he could clearly sense that the Yao Beast bore no killing intent towards him.
"Woof."
The Yao Beast let out a soft howl, then turned and walked forward, occasionally looking back at Ye Lin.
"Are you trying to make me follow you?"
Although he had doubts, Ye Lin still followed behind the Yao Beast.
After walking for about a minute, Ye Lin was led by the Yao Beast to a cave, where he saw three emaciated small Yao Beasts emerge, howling around their mother.
"So that's it."
Upon seeing this, Ye Lin finally understood the Yao Beast's purpose.
This Yao Beast was at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and could not fly. Its purpose was to have him take it and its children out of this deep valley.
But just looking at these three emaciated small beasts, it was clear there was no edible food around.
Adult Yao Beasts could absorb Spiritual Qi from the sun and moon, but the little ones could not.
The next moment, the Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast rushed into the cave, and after a while, slowly emerged, holding a Xuan Grade Low-Rank spiritual fruit in its mouth.
It carefully placed the spiritual fruit at Ye Lin's feet, its eyes fixed on Ye Lin.
Ye Lin put the spiritual fruit into his space ring.
"Alright, alright, I'll help you all out."
Smiling, he grabbed the three small beasts with his left hand, and the adult Yao Beast with his right, then stepped on Evil Slayer and flew towards the top of the deep valley.
Upon reaching the ground, Ye Lin placed the three little ones and the Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast on the ground.
"Woof, woof."
The Yao Beast howled a few times gratefully at Ye Lin, then happily led its three children into the mist.
"I guess I've done a good deed, haven't I?"
Ye Lin murmured with a smile, then stepped on his Flying Sword and flew towards Qingyun Sect.
"What is this? Something's not right."
Arriving at the edge of Ma Valley, Ye Lin suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on his surroundings.
"Hehehe, isn't this the Qingyun Sect Holy Son? Long time no see, you've become even more formidable."
On the ground, Wang Gang, dressed in a black robe, sneered, emitting a strange cackling sound from his mouth.
"Wang Gang?"
Ye Lin's expression was solemn. Around him, three evil cultivators exuding Foundation Establishment Peak aura surrounded him.
"Oh, Saint, you've forgotten me after just a month or two? You truly are a busy person who forgets easily."
Wang Gang held a long sword, slowly approaching Ye Lin, his Foundation Establishment Peak aura sweeping the surroundings.
"I didn't expect you to actually defect to the evil demons?"
Ye Lin slowly stood on the ground, holding Evil Slayer.
"Didn't you force all of this upon me? But what's so bad about defecting to the evil demons? In just a short time, with the help of Lord Evil Demon, I've already reached the Foundation Establishment Peak Realm."
"I didn't expect you to dare come to this valley; I respect you as a man."
Wang Gang was full of surprise. This Ma Valley was their evil cultivators' base, and he hadn't expected Ye Lin to find this place.
Due to the special nature of Ma Valley, it was an excellent hiding place.
"Three Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators, quite a grand gesture."
Looking at the three evil cultivators surrounding him, Ye Lin sneered inwardly.
"Wang Gang, why are you wasting words with him? Quickly attack and kill him. Once the Qingyun Sect Holy Son is killed, the Qingyun Sect will surely fall into chaos."
At this moment, the Black Robed Man evil cultivator beside him snorted coldly at Wang Gang.
If you want to kill, then kill; why so much nonsense?
"Alright, gentlemen, let's attack quickly and slay this fellow."
Hearing this, Wang Gang's heart tightened. This guy's status was higher than his own, so he still had to listen to his reprimand.
Seeing this, Ye Lin took out a Formation Plate from his space ring. He hadn't used this thing since he acquired it.
Holding the Formation Plate in his left hand, he quickly formed hand seals with his right.
"Not good, that's a Formation Plate, he's going to set up a formation, quickly attack!"
One of them immediately shouted, and the others unleashed their full power without holding back, attacking Ye Lin with all their might.
"Too late."
Ye Lin murmured with a smile, and immediately, an even denser mist spread, their attacks all hitting the ground without making any sound.
"You… where are you?"
The three Black Robed Men and Wang Gang stood in different directions, all like headless flies, crashing around haphazardly.
The mist, with visibility less than a meter, combined with the shield of all senses, made it impossible for them to pinpoint their locations.
"Tsk, it's really effective."
Ye Lin held the Formation Plate, standing on a giant rock, watching the four people below cautiously exploring for each other.
Since he was the one who set up the formation, he could see everything that was happening.
"Next, let me try this illusion formation."
After Ye Lin finished speaking, the Formation Plate floated in front of his chest, and his left and right hands alternated, quickly forming hand seals, the process being incredibly complex.
"Illusion formation, activate."
Ye Lin shouted in a low voice, and immediately, Wang Gang's figure transformed into himself in the eyes of the other three evil cultivators.
"Now there's a good show to watch."
Ye Lin just squatted on the giant rock, watching below.
"Hmm? I didn't expect you to be here, die for me."
At this moment, an evil cultivator looked at Wang Gang in front of him and attacked without hesitation.
"What are you doing? How dare you attack me?"
Wang Gang's face was full of disbelief, and he hurriedly raised his sword to block, shouting loudly.
"Hmm? So you're here, kill him for me."
At this moment, hearing the sound of battle, the other two evil cultivators gathered together along the sound, and upon seeing Wang Gang, their eyes turned red and they all rushed to kill Wang Gang.
"What in the world are you all doing? Stop it!"
Wang Gang was furious, but he wasn't Ye Lin. Fighting three at the same Realm was extremely difficult, and gradually, he was starting to be unable to resist.
"What's wrong with all of you? Stop it, stop!"
Wang Gang was immediately sent flying by a sword strike, falling to the ground and roaring furiously.
However, Wang Gang's furious roars, in the eyes of the three evil cultivators, were:
"Ye Lin" shouting at them, "Is that all? Is that all? Is that all? Didn't you eat?"
"This kid dares to mock us even when death is near, kill him!"
One of the evil cultivators said angrily, going all out and attacking with full force.
For a time, Wang Gang's injuries worsened.
Facing the full power of the three evil cultivators, he had no power to resist whatsoever.
"I didn't expect this illusion formation to be so terrifying, but… their Divine Souls are just too weak."
Ye Lin shook his head. Although evil cultivators advanced quickly in Realm, their Physical Bodies, Dantian, and Divine Souls all suffered varying degrees of severe damage.
They only advanced quickly in Realm.
A small illusion formation could affect them so much, which showed how much their Divine Souls had been weakened.
Normal Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators entering an illusion formation would at least have the ability to distinguish reality from illusion, but these three evil cultivators still hadn't noticed anything amiss, for example, if they were killing "Ye Lin," where did Wang Gang go?
