The Soul Refining Venerable intercepts Su Yue Li!

After all, she has not been cultivating for very long, and even with the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Sword Heart, she still needs time to mature.

A moment later, Lu Xueyao sheathed her sword and stood up, a fine layer of fragrant sweat beading on her forehead.

She turned around and saw Lu Yuan standing at the door.

"Master...Master."

A hint of panic and surprise flashed across Lu Xueyao's face, and she quickly stepped forward to bow.

She was slightly out of breath from being so engrossed in practicing her swordplay, and her chest heaved with youthful energy.

"No need for such formalities."

Lu Yuan walked into the courtyard and came to her side: "I heard from your master's wife that you have encountered some difficulties in swordsmanship."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueyao's pretty face flushed slightly.

Actually, she didn't have many questions about kendo; she could figure out many things after a little thought.

But her master's wife told her that if she wanted to go further in swordsmanship, she had to ask her master for more advice, and even taught her some... ways to get along with her master.

"Yes... there are some things I don't quite understand." Lu Xueyao lowered her head, not daring to look Lu Yuan in the eye, and said in a low voice, "Especially in the part about the differentiation of sword intent, I always feel a bit stagnant and can't do it as smoothly as Master."

"The differentiation of sword intent emphasizes the unity of mind and spirit, rather than being deliberately forced."

Lu Yuan walked behind her, reached out, and gently grasped her wrist that held the sword.

"Concentrate and feel my magical guidance."

Lu Xueyao's body stiffened abruptly.

The warmth of her master's palms seeped through the thin sleeves and onto her skin.

A strange current instantly spread throughout her body, making her heart race and almost jump out of her throat.

"Don't get distracted." Lu Yuan's voice rang in her ear, tinged with sternness.

"Yes." Lu Xueyao forced herself to calm down.

Lu Yuan held her hand and slowly thrust out the long sword in his hand.

This sword strike, though seemingly slow, contains endless variations.

"The Great Void divides light, and the real and the unreal give rise to each other. What you need to do is not to control every sword light, but to make the sword light an extension of your will."

With Lu Yuan's guidance, Lu Xueyao felt the Nine Aperture Exquisite Sword Heart within her body begin to throb violently, and the originally obscure and difficult-to-understand sword principles became incredibly clear at this moment.

The two were very close, and Lu Xueyao could even feel Lu Yuan's strong heartbeat behind her and smell his faint, reassuring scent.

Her cheeks grew hotter and hotter, and the admiration in her eyes intensified.

This is her master.

Powerful, mysterious, and omnipotent.

At this moment, in addition to the bond between teacher and student, a few other inexplicable feelings arose in her heart.

The words her teacher's wife had spoken kept echoing in her mind.

"Xueyao, your master carries heavy responsibilities and has no one to care for him. I, his master's wife, am usually very busy. As his disciple, you should take better care of him..."

Lu Xueyao felt a little flustered, but more than that, she felt a sweet feeling.

The instruction lasted for about half an hour.

When Lu Yuan released his grip, Lu Xueyao felt a sense of loss.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Now you can reflect on it for yourself."

Lu Yuan glanced at the sky and calculated the time; it was about time to set off.

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Master." Lu Xueyao bowed respectfully, her eyes overflowing with admiration.

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, and with a flicker, he disappeared from the spot.

He did not return directly to his cave, but instead informed Gu Qingxue via telepathy that he was leaving the sect to handle some personal matters.

Then, he took a step and entered the void interlayer directly.

The laws of the Three Transformations Space are in operation.

Shrinking the earth to an inch, yet feeling as close as a foot away as the ends of the earth.

With each step he took, he covered thousands of miles, and the border between the Zhao and Fengyuan kingdoms receded rapidly beneath his feet.

In just a few dozen breaths, he had traversed a vast distance and ventured deep into the territory of the Six Demonic Sects.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Souls is located in the Black Mist Mountains of Tianluo Kingdom.

Lu Yuan did not reveal his form, but relied on the wonders of the Three Transformations Space Law to perfectly hide himself in the interlayer of the void.

Unless one is a Void Refining expert who is proficient in the laws of the Four Transformations Space, no one can detect his existence.

time flies.

Shenshi (3-5 PM) finally arrived.

boom!

A deafening roar shattered the deathly silence of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls.

Suddenly, a black palace deep within the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls exploded.

A stunningly beautiful purple figure, looking somewhat disheveled, leaped from the ruins and fled frantically into the distance.

It was none other than Su Yueli, the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect.

At this moment, she was in a very strange state.

Her once dignified and noble purple palace dress was now slightly damaged, revealing part of her fair and delicate skin.

Her long hair was disheveled, her face was flushed red, her eyes were glazed, and she was making faint panting sounds.

It was a seductive charm that could drive any man mad.

It was the Love Silk Curse taking effect.

This ancient and rare poison can not only ignite the most primal desires in a cultivator's heart, but also corrupt reason, turning the poisoned person into a slave to desire.

"Su Yueli, you can't escape."

A sinister, maniacal laugh followed immediately.

A figure shrouded in black mist came rushing from behind.

Master of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls, Venerable Soul Refiner.

He possessed the cultivation of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and his soul-path supernatural abilities were unpredictable and mysterious.

"Once you've been poisoned by my Love Silk Gu, the more you try to suppress it, the faster the poison will take effect. Just submit to me, and I will cure you and make you feel like you're dying of pleasure, hehehe."

The Soul Refining Venerable stared at the swaying, graceful figure before him, his eyes brimming with greed.

He had coveted Su Yueli for many years, and today he was finally going to get his wish.

Su Yueli bit her tongue, trying to use the pain to awaken the last shred of reason. But the burning sensation surging from the depths of her soul left her powerless, unable even to muster her magical energy.

"Even if I die, I will not let you succeed."

A hint of despair and resolve flashed in her eyes as she prepared to detonate her nascent soul and perish together with her.

Just then.

Ripples spread through the void, and the Soul Refining Venerable was slightly taken aback. Before he could react, he felt the surrounding space freeze instantly.

To draw a circle on the ground and imprison oneself.

Immediately afterwards, a hand appeared out of thin air and caught Su Yueli, who was about to self-destruct.

"Who dares to ruin my plans?"

The Soul Refining Venerable was furious. Black mist churned around him, and countless wronged souls and vengeful ghosts roared out, trying to break free of the spatial constraints.

However, what awaited him was a sword light that was dazzling to the extreme.

The Law of the Four Transformations Sword.

puff!

As the sword light flashed, the Soul Refining Venerable's body was instantly split in two, and along with the countless wronged souls in the sky, they were all reduced to ashes by this one sword strike.

However, Lu Yuan did not show any joy; instead, he frowned slightly.

"Soul splitting".

The slain Soul Refining Venerable's body vanished as a wisp of black smoke, leaving no physical form behind.
