Chapter 188: The Battle Comes to an End

Although the Water Spirit Body would be of great help to him, and that Water Spirit Body's cultivation was quite high, reaching the Soul Transformation Stage.

There was also Liu Qinghe of the Profound Heaven Sect, who also possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root; both of these individuals were his key targets.

Although they were his key targets, they were also the key subjects of concern for their respective Sects.

It would be basically impossible to get his hands on them.

These two were not mere Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage. If they were at the Nascent Soul Stage, it would be a foregone conclusion for him, and he would have the confidence to spirit them away right under everyone's noses.

But the Soul Transformation Stage was a different matter.

Their own combat power could not be underestimated, let alone taking them away while their Sects were watching.

He could only put them aside for now and see if there would be an opportunity later.

But compared to that, what he wanted most was that Innate Cauldron from the Celestial Maiden Sect.

That would be a true tonic for him, but unfortunately, she would not come out. It seemed he would have to find a way to make her appear.

Perhaps she had some weakness; he would have to have his people hidden within the Celestial Maiden Sect investigate.

These matters had to be put aside for now.

Now there was one more thing he had to face, and he almost didn't want to confront what was about to happen.

Although the Spirit Sea Sect had been basically destroyed in this operation and had suffered heavy losses, they no longer had many Cultivators at the Soul Transformation Stage left.

Their trump cards were gone, and even if they rebuilt later, they might be squeezed out of the ranks of the Eight Great Sects.

But originally, their plan was to leave no one alive; they hadn't expected an accident to occur.

Indeed, although their operation looked like it had achieved its goal on the surface, they had actually lost to the other side.

It was all because of that Ye Lin and that Innate Sword Body.

Jiang Cheng walked in.

At this moment, the other two Old Ancestors had already received the news, and the expressions of those present were not good, especially Gu Tianmo; this operation had been a significant blow to him.

"I didn't expect those two to be so formidable. Or perhaps your strength has declined, Gu Tianmo? If I had known, I should have gone myself. If it had been me, such a thing would never have happened."

Gu Tianmo's face looked ugly. "You…"

Another Old Ancestor spoke up, "Enough. At this point, there is no use in saying anything. That Ye Lin and the Innate Sword Body are indeed formidable."

"If it weren't for those two, our plan this time would have been flawless."

"But these two unexpected factors led to the failure of this operation."

"Tianmo, your prestige within the Demon Race has decreased."

"After all, you did not manage to kill that Ye Lin."

Although Gu Tianmo was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept this fact.

"Forget it. We have at least obtained a good amount of intelligence. As long as we are more careful later, it will be fine."

"Since one is not enough, we will send two, or even three, at the Void Refinement Stage next time."

"Anyway, the purpose of this time has been achieved. Now it is time to discuss the next strategy."

After Su Yu and his group finished clearing the scene, they prepared to return to the Profound Heaven Sect.

The battles in various regions had also basically ended, and many of the Demon Race had broken through their defenses.

Many of the Demon Race had also been repelled by their side.

But the Demon Race had conquered more regions, and many Sects on their side had been breached.

Li Yi was already on his way back to his Sect, thinking about how the Sect Master of the Spirit Sea Sect had just thanked him.

He was amazed at his own formidable strength.

But this was not enough. Having personally witnessed the battle between Ye Lin and that Void Refinement Stage Demon, he was even more aware that the gap between himself and Ye Lin was still significant.

At this rate, it would be very difficult to catch up to Ye Lin.

He had to seize every possible moment to Cultivate.

Ye Lin stood up; he would return to the Profound Heaven Sect first. His stamina had recovered quite a bit.

Just as Ye Lin was preparing to return, Zheng Wen sought him out to thank him. After bidding farewell to Zheng Wen, Ye Lin left the place.

The people on Su Yu's side had basically all left.

Although they had lost quite a few people in this great battle at the Spirit Sea Sect, it was finally over.

Su Yu stood in the sky. To outsiders, Su Yu had many wounds on his body and his aura was unstable, which seemed very normal in their eyes.

Not only him, but everyone who had fought on the scene basically had wounds of varying degrees.

Some even had their arms or legs missing.

If you were a Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage and had not been injured in this chaotic battle, then there would be something wrong.

This time, Wang Yang had suffered significant injuries, but fortunately, there were no major lasting effects.

He would just need to recuperate for a relatively long period of time.

Just as they were about to leave, those who had come with them earlier sought them out.

Zhu Yi of the Celestial Maiden Sect spoke, "Let's go back together."

"The Myriad Swords Sect is the same." But Su Yu looked at Pang Zong; one of his arms was gone, though fortunately, his life was not in danger.

Wang Yang nodded, "That works. We came together, so we shall go back together."

Wang Yang and the others also saw Pang Zong's condition, but none of them mentioned it.

The group flew toward the direction of the Teleportation Formation.

Along the way, they chatted quite a bit.

But it was all about summarizing their combat experience with the Demon Race, and how to deal with the Demon Race if they encountered them next time.

Pang Zong looked at the group, "Next time I encounter the Demon Race, I will not be so easily tricked. This arm is the lesson."

During this time, Zhu Yi also came to talk to Su Yu for a while.

After some time, they arrived at the Teleportation Formation.

After Su Yu bid farewell to the group, they each went to their respective Teleportation Formations and left the place separately.

As the Grand Array lit up, Su Yu and his companions vanished from the spot.

Not long after, Su Yu returned to the Profound Heaven Sect.

He had been away for quite some time to participate in the battle against the Demon Race.

Although he had not been fighting the Demon Race continuously, he was still considered active within the Profound Heaven Sect.

He might have already reached an above-average level.

Su Yu arrived at his courtyard and sat on a chair in the courtyard.

This feeling was long-lost.

Su Yu also noticed that the aura of Han Shi and his family had also returned.

It seemed that things had concluded smoothly on that side as well.

Needless to say, Ye Lin's affairs would ferment before long.

The people of the Southern Region would go crazy for Ye Lin.

The matter of the Spirit Sea Sect came to an end, and after some time had passed like this.

Indeed, things were just as he had said.

Ye Lin's name was now sung by the world, and his deeds had spread through every street and alley.

Achieving the Peak Transformation Stage within a hundred years, and fighting a Void Refinement Stage Demon without defeat while at the Peak Transformation Stage.

He had also mastered the highest Realm of the Dao of the Sword: the Sword Domain.

All these things combined brought Ye Lin's name to an unprecedented height.
