Chapter Ninety-Seven: Ultimate Yin-Yang Scripture of the Extreme Heaven

Yunchuxue arrived in front of the army, pointing angrily at Rukong, Longyu, and Rongxi standing on the military vehicle.

"You three traitors! As generals of the empire, how dare you join the Demon Sect!"

"Me, join the Demon Sect? Then what about the demonic energy emanating from you? You have the audacity to accuse us?"

Yunchuxue retrieved the Purple Abyssal Jade Sword from her spatial ring. She hadn't used it for a long time, but today, she would bathe it in blood.

Swiftly cutting through the crowd, Yunchuxue reaped dozens of lives with each swing of her sword. These ordinary soldiers were no match for her, and within moments, nearly ten thousand were slain by Yunchuxue.

Rukong immediately ordered archers to shoot Yunchuxue.

"General, our people are there!"

"Archers, prepare to fire. Anyone obstructing shall be executed on the spot!"

"Yes."

As Yunchuxue enjoyed the slaughter, tens of thousands of heavy crossbow arrows came flying towards her.

Yunchuxue hurriedly blocked with her sword, while the soldiers around her were pierced to the ground.

After a while, Yunchuxue had dozens of sword wounds all over her body, kneeling with blood continuously flowing from her wounds.

Around her, blood flowed like a river, mostly from those killed by crossbows. The air was filled with the stench of blood.

Soon, Yunchuxue was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers, all eager to try their luck.

Yunchuxue activated the Ultimate Yin-Yang Scripture to its extreme, reaching the peak of the Spiritual God realm. The surrounding demonic energy became thicker, covering an area of tens of yards.

The soldiers became increasingly panicked, as they could no longer see anyone within a step of them.

"Die, all of you!"

Yunchuxue screamed hysterically, slashing through the crowd with her Purple Abyssal Jade Sword.

Those behind couldn't see what was happening in front. Suddenly, screams erupted from the crowd as bodies were split in half.

Rukong and the others couldn't see what was happening in front, but suddenly, a sword light rushed towards them. They immediately reacted, jumping off the vehicle just as it was crushed.

Yunchuxue stood there like a god of death.

"Yunchuxue!"

Yunchuxue's eyes were filled with killing intent as she stared straight at the three of them.

As the three were about to attack, Yunchuxue suddenly soared into the air, throwing a sword qi towards where she had just stood before flying away.

Rukong immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted, "Run!"

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted from underground, shaking the ground. Although the spiritualists ran fast, those with lower cultivation levels perished in the explosion.

This explosion resulted in tens of thousands of casualties in the Three Kingdoms army. Combined with those killed by Yunchuxue earlier, the total exceeded two hundred thousand.

Rukong immediately ordered a retreat to regroup.

Yunchuxue kept fleeing until she landed in an uninhabited area.

She coughed up blood heavily.

"By using the Ultimate Yin-Yang Scripture to its extreme, I managed to barely create an explosion covering several kilometers."

Yunchuxue struggled forward. She withdrew her demonic power and used the Ling Technique "Chant of the Four Moons" to heal her wounds. However, her spiritual power was on the verge of depletion, but flying back was still feasible.

Yunchuxue arrived above Qingyun Pass. Soldiers were orderly arranged on the city walls for defense. Seeing Yunchuxue returning covered in blood, they all asked,

"Madam Commander, how far is the enemy army from here?"

"We're ready."

"...!"

They smiled bitterly, well aware that if Qingyun Pass fell, the civilians and spiritualists inside would be doomed.

"Don't worry, they've retreated."

"Alright."

Everyone smiled happily, perhaps for them, every extra day of life counted.

Yunchuxue flew straight towards Qingyun City. Seeing Yushi rushing over with attendants and elders, accompanied by Yuzixi, Tang Ruoyu, and Shen Zixuan.

"What are you three doing here? Don't you know it's dangerous?" Yunchuxue scolded.

Yuzixi, teary-eyed, approached and wiped the blood stains from Yunchuxue's face with a handkerchief. "Mom, I'm worried about you."

Yunchuxue caressed Yuzixi's small head. "Don't worry, with them around, nothing will happen."

"Where is the army now?" Yushi asked.

"They've already retreated."

"Retreated?" Yushi was surprised. How did they manage to retreat?

"Let's talk about it later. Come, let's go back."

Back at Xueshi Garden, Yunchuxue changed into clean clothes and sat down. Yushi asked, "Why did you practice the demonic techniques? Isn't that something you despise?"

"Yushi, do you think I'm a member of the Demon Sect?"

"No," Yushi immediately replied.

"My cultivation has reached its peak. I need to practice another technique to make further progress."

"But why practice demonic techniques?" Yushi asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, the technique I'm practicing won't harm me."

Yushi sighed. "Fine, fine, fine," and stormed out.

After Yushi left, Moxian said, "He's angry."

"Let him be."

"He won't understand you."

"Yeah, I've never been understood by the world before, and now even my man doesn't understand me."

"Poor thing."

Yunchuxue went to Tang Ruoyu's room, where she was handling affairs.

"Ruoyu, what are you busy with?"

"I'm handling official matters."

"You sit." Yunchuxue sat beside her. After Tang Ruoyu sat down, Yunchuxue asked, "How is Yunchu Palace?"

Tang Ruoyu pondered for a moment before replying, "Yunchu Palace disappeared eight years ago. However, eight years ago, when the Demon Sect allied with the major empires and sects to pacify the Tianling Continent, Luoyang City suffered calamity. Yunchu Palace intervened and saved most of the people in Luoyang City. But now, no one knows where Yunchu Palace is."

"Ah, that means Yunchu Palace is temporarily safe."

"Xue'er, what's your plan next?" Tang Ruoyu asked.

"I want to unite with the spirit beasts to counterattack. Our forces are too few, and there are few spiritualists who can go to the battlefield. It would be great to have a special force."

"A special force?" Tang Ruoyu thought for a moment. "I've heard that the Commander-in-Chief secretly trained his own army of spiritualists. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Spiritualist army? How many people are there?"

"I'm not sure."

"What about Yuxun?"

"Yuxun is training spiritualists in Xiyun City. Nowadays, Xiyun City is either training soldiers or training spiritualists. The Commander-in-Chief has recruited many spiritualists and soldiers, especially wandering cultivators, to gather together to defend against the enemy. I heard that the three elite disciples of Luoyue Tower also came to Qingyun City, as well as the princess of the Southern Yue Empire."

Yunchuxue naturally knew who the three elite disciples were, but who was the princess of the Southern Yue Empire?

"What's the name of the princess from the Southern Yue Empire? Where is she now?"

"Her name is Nangong Luo. She's in Room Ten of Zone One of the Spiritualist Academy, training with the three elite disciples."

"Good, I'll go take a look later."

Yunchuxue and Tang Ruoyu chatted for a while before heading to Room Ten of Zone One.
