Chapter 63 – How could it be him?

On the deck of the Ghost Mist Boat, Ye Sheng sat cross-legged in a white robe.

After casually annihilating the horde of 3rd Revolution Yin Soldiers blocking his path, he lowered his gaze to look below.

Although the 3rd Revolution Yin Soldier horde was powerful, it could not withstand a single strike from Ye Sheng, who had now promoted to the 3rd Revolution.

“It’s people from Guyue Tower!”

Ye Sheng leaned forward, sweeping his eyes downward.

Ye Sheng was quite familiar with Guyue Tower.

Back in Ice Wind Valley, he had interacted with members of Guyue Tower and even briefly collaborated with them.

There was neither enmity nor conflict between the two sides.

The reason he had taken action earlier was simply because the 3rd Revolution Yin Soldier horde had blocked his path.

It wasn’t to save anyone.

“Hmm?”

As Ye Sheng scanned the area below, his gaze suddenly paused. Among the hundreds of figures expressing their gratitude, he spotted a familiar silhouette.

“Is that her? Guyue Qing? What a coincidence!”

Ye Sheng looked surprised, never expecting to encounter an old acquaintance from Ice Wind Valley here.

He still remembered Guyue Qing quite vividly.

In Ice Wind Valley, she had led a group of Guyue Tower disciples, displaying formidable combat power with a fiery red silk ribbon.

Even Ye Sheng back then had been extremely wary of her!

But now…

Ye Sheng couldn’t help but shake his head.

The disparity in strength and status between them had undergone a dramatic transformation.

Not only had he promoted to the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm, but he also possessed combat power at the 3rd Revolution Invincible Realm!

And what about Guyue Qing?

She was still at the 2nd Revolution Perfection, equipped with a full set of 2nd Revolution Dark Gold Tier equipment.

Upon seeing him, she would have to respectfully address him as Senior!

Whoosh!

The next moment, an idea occurred to Ye Sheng, and he steered the Ghost Mist Boat to descend.

…

“Look!”

“The Ghost Mist Boat is descending!”

Below, many Guyue Tower disciples exclaimed in surprise. Seeing the Ghost Mist Boat actually descending left many of them stunned and utterly unexpected!

Guyue Qing also looked up, feeling puzzled!

She had assumed that the boat’s owner would depart directly after annihilating the 3rd Revolution Yin Soldier horde, but he had instead chosen to land.

However… when she saw the Ghost Mist Boat heading straight toward her, she was momentarily dumbfounded!

“He’s coming toward me?”

Guyue Qing was astonished.

Then, as the Ghost Mist Boat drew closer, the figure on the deck gradually became clearer from a blur.

Soon!

Many people could clearly see the figure on the deck.

Naturally, Guyue Qing saw it too.

But the moment Guyue Qing clearly recognized the figure on the deck, her mind instantly reeled!

“Impossible! How could it be him!”

Guyue Qing recognized Ye Sheng on the deck at a glance, feeling as though the entire world had turned upside down.

No matter how much she had speculated, she never imagined…

That the owner of the Ghost Mist Boat would be Ye Sheng!

“How could it possibly be you?”

Guyue Qing was bewildered!

How could she not recognize Ye Sheng?

How long had it been since the events in Ice Wind Valley? She still remembered them vividly!

The scene of Ye Sheng using ten ‘Three Thousand Black Silks’ to kill Bai Tingyu remained clear in her mind—someone who could control a 3rd Revolution Malevolent Ghost while only at the 2nd Revolution! It was unforgettable, having shocked her greatly at the time.

Afterward!

Ye Sheng was hunted by the Bai Family, causing quite a stir throughout the city, which she had also heard about.

She had once believed Ye Sheng was doomed!

But now…

Not only was he still alive, but he also seemed to have promoted to the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm, with combat power that was outrageously powerful!

Just moments ago, he had annihilated the 3rd Revolution Yin Soldier horde with a single sword strike!

He was even stronger than several 3rd Revolution Elders of Guyue Tower combined…

“Am I dreaming?”

Guyue Qing felt as if she were dreaming, everything before her eyes seemed utterly unreal!

Especially seeing Ye Sheng arriving aboard the Ghost Mist Boat, it made her feel even more like she had fallen into a dream from which she couldn’t wake up.

Whoosh!

A gust of fierce wind swept by as a Ghost Mist Boat came to a halt right in front of Guyue Qing, lifting her long, beautiful hair.

“Guyue Qing, we meet again.”

A familiar voice came from the Ghost Mist Boat.

Guyue Qing looked up and saw Ye Sheng gazing at her with a faint, enigmatic smile.

“Brother Ye…”

Guyue Qing instinctively addressed him.

But under Ye Sheng’s piercing gaze, she quickly corrected herself,

“Oh no! Senior… Senior Ye!”

The current Ye Sheng was no longer the same as before. When Guyue Qing looked at him, she couldn’t discern his true depth at all.

She only felt that his aura was as vast as an ocean.

Coupled with that earlier sword strike, it was more than enough to prove Ye Sheng’s immense strength!

Not only had he stepped into the 3rd Revolution Ghost General Realm, but he was also an absolute Expert among them.

His Combat Power had reached a level she could hardly imagine.

Ye Sheng remained indifferent and spoke directly, “Come with me for a while!”

“Where to?”

Guyue Qing was taken aback, not understanding his meaning.

Ye Sheng frowned, “Why so many questions?”

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed her. Guyue Qing felt her body restrained by an immense force, utterly powerless to resist.

Then, she was dragged onto the boat in a daze.

Whoosh!

After capturing Guyue Qing, Ye Sheng paid no attention to the reactions of the other Guyue Tower disciples. He directly steered the Ghost Mist Boat into the air, heading toward the distant sky.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the misty clouds far away.

Only the group of Guyue Tower disciples remained, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what had just happened.

“Senior Sister Guyue Qing has been taken away!”

A young man stood dumbfounded!

Another said, “That Senior seemed to have known Senior Sister Guyue Qing for a long time.”

“Is that so?”

“Could there be any danger?”

Someone voiced their concern.

“No, with that Senior’s strength, if he had ill intentions, he would have acted long ago. Why wait until now?”

“That makes sense!”

The group nodded in agreement.

A burly young man glanced around at their surroundings and said, “Everyone! We’re trapped in this perilous ancient land. We should think about what to do next!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Guyue Tower disciples all wore worried expressions.

Without the protection of a 3rd Revolution Elder, this ancient land had become an extremely dangerous place.

…

On the other side.

A Ghost Mist Boat flew through the hazy, yellow mist of the ancient land.

On the deck, Ye Sheng sat cross-legged.

Beside him, Guyue Qing waited with a complicated gaze. She didn’t know why Ye Sheng had captured her, but she didn’t dare disturb him.

She clearly remembered that this man was a ruthless and merciless figure.

Definitely not someone with a soft heart.

“Aren’t you going to ask why I captured you?”

Ye Sheng spoke up.

“Uh… I dare not ask!”

Guyue Qing lowered her head, her long hair cascading like a waterfall, and replied honestly.

Her looks were quite good; if rated out of ten, Guyue Qing would definitely score an eight.

With her slender figure, she could be considered a rare beauty.

However, Cultivators were often too immersed in bloody battles and conflicts to pay attention to such things in their daily lives.

“You’re a direct descendant of Guyue Tower, right?”

Ye Sheng turned to look at her and noticed that Guyue Qing’s small face was inexplicably flushed, which puzzled him.

Was it because the temperature on the Ghost Mist Boat was too high?

Why was she blushing?

Ye Sheng furrowed his brows, sensing the temperature, and said with confusion, “It’s not hot either? Why is her face red?”

“Um, I am a direct descendant of Guyue Tower.”

Guyue Qing lowered her head and let out a soft, muffled sound.
