1065 - Mirror of Illusions_1
A blood-colored light suddenly gushed out of the scarlet ancient mirror in the Beiming Manor elderly’s hand as though it was an everlasting aurora. Without giving Ye Qingtang any time to react, it instantly enshrouded Ye Qingtang in it.
Sensing the aura of this blood-colored light, Ye Qingtang frowned slightly.
This scarlet ancient mirror was a Dharma treasure exclusive to Yang Lords. Its level was extremely high, and only Yang Lords and those above the Yang Lord realm could control and use it.
“Hahaha, little girl, this mirror is the Captive Sky Mirror. Even a Yang Lord will lose control of their body movement once they are caught in this mirror…” The Beiming Manor elderly who held the ancient mirror snickered as he looked at Ye Qingtang, who was sealed within the ancient mirror.
No matter how powerful a Yang Lord was, if they were unable to move and faced two other Yang Lords who were set out to kill, the only outcome was death.
Ye Qingtang immediately activated the powers of the Heavenly Demon bloodline and executed the Heavenly Demon devouring bloodline in the fastest time possible.
The devouring bloodline could devour everything in this world, including mental energy and physical energy!
No matter what energy this Dharma treasure made use of, it was unable to withstand the strength of the Heavenly Demon devouring bloodline.
As the devouring powers were executed, the blood-colored light from the ancient mirror was completely swallowed by Ye Qingtang’s Heavenly Demon devouring bloodline in no time.
Moreover, Ye Qingtang could clearly feel that the power in her body seemed to have increased a little, probably from devouring the ancient mirror energy earlier on. Although it was not obvious, she could still feel it.
“This is?!”
Noticing the situation, the two Beiming Manor elderlies were dumbstruck and could not comprehend the situation.
“This little girl must have a similar Dharma treasure to counter it…” The elderly with the scarlet ancient mirror mumbled with a frown.
Both Beiming Manor elderlies did not have much knowledge about the Heavenly Demon bloodline and thus were oblivious that Ye Qingtang used the Heavenly Demon devouring bloodline earlier on.
A battle among Yang Lords was not simple and took up a lot of time. As such, both Yang Lords originally wanted to use the Dharma treasure to end the battle quickly, but they never thought that the Captive Sky Mirror would have no effect on Ye Qingtang.
“Humph. Since that’s the case, we will join forces… and use the Secret Sound Sky Spirit Technique to kill this girl!” The Beiming Manor elderly said.
“That’s the only way.” The other elderly nodded and immediately stored his scarlet ancient mirror.
Then, both of them used their palms to form a print, and a massive primordial qi and mental energy instantly erupted.
The Secret Sound Sky Spirit Technique was one of the divine techniques of Beiming Manor. However, the conditions for executing this technique were extremely harsh and required Yang Lords of at least Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven to join forces in order for the technique to have an invincible might.
It was difficult for even Ye Qingtang to defend against such a divine technique. The Secret Sound Sky Spirit Technique mainly attacked one’s mental state and was not considered a physical attack; thus, there was no way to defend against it. This was also the frightening aspect of the technique.
In an instant, an unusual sound that resembled a howl from hell rang around Ye Qingtang and caused goosebumps.
“It is not only your Beiming Manor that has Dharma treasures.”
Without hesitation, Ye Qingtang immediately retrieved an even plainer ancient mirror from her space ring
This ancient mirror was the Mirror of Illusions. It could only be used by the Phoenix Bloodline and would materialize all attacking forces.
Ye Qingtang obtained this Mirror of Illusions in the Dragon Vein as a gift from the Divine Phoenix after obtaining the Divine Phoenix inheritance.

1066 - Mirror of Illusions_2
The two Beiming Manor elderlies did not recognize the Mirror of Illusions in Ye Qingtang’s hand and were not affected by anything; thus, they focused fully on the Secret Sound Sky Spirit Technique.
However, Ye Qingtang used the Mirror of Illusions at this instant.
In the next second, all the unusual sounds actually turned into logs of wood.
The logs fell from the sky and crashed onto the ground noisily.
The scene that played out before their eyes left the two Beiming Manor elderlies completely dumbfounded and in disbelief.
The Secret Sound Sky Spirit Technique actually turned into logs of wood when shone on by Ye Qingtang’s ancient mirror. How could this be?!
“What is that Dharma treasure of yours?!” One of the Beiming Manor elderlies stared at Ye Qingtang and asked in disbelief.
They had never heard of a Dharma treasure which could turn attacks into logs of wood.
However, Ye Qingtang scoffed and did not utter a word. She immediately stored the Mirror of Illusions and turned into a flash of shadow as she leaped forward. Using her palm as a knife, she slashed down at one Beiming Manor elderly.
Noticing the situation, the Beiming Manor elderly grunted in fury, immediately stepped forward, and entered a scuffle with Ye Qingtang
However, this person’s martial skills were only at the late-stage of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven and was not Ye Qingtang’s opponent. Dozens of moves later, he was already in a disadvantageous position.
Another Beiming Manor elderly joined in instantly. This person’s martial realm was similar to that of Ye Qingtang’s Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven peak.
However, even if the two Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven late-stage and peak cultivators joined forces, they were still on the losing ground and were simply not Ye Qingtang’s opponent.
“How can this be?!”
The two Beiming Manor elderlies were increasingly astonished as they fought. Although Ye Qingtang was at the peak of Yin Yang Perfected Lord Seventh Heaven, her combat powers did not lose to an Eighth Heaven cultivator and were even neck and neck with their Beiming Manor Chief!
In no time, these two Beiming Manor elderlies were severely injured. Should they continue the battle, it would not be of any threat to Ye Qingtang while they would be in a dangerous situation instead.
“Retreat first!”
The two Beiming Manor elderlies exchanged a look, and one of them said with a frown.
After fighting with Ye Qingtang for some time, both of them were fully aware that it was impossible for the two of them to be of any threat to Ye Qingtang in the current situation. They could only leave first and leave subsequent matters to be resolved by the Manor Chief.
If the Manor Chief took action personally and came with their few Yang Lords, this lady could be killed easily…
“Humph, little girl… your skills are indeed impressive… However, you have offended Beiming Manor now, and there’s no way out. We will not pursue you anymore today. The situation will change. The next time we meet, I will take your life!”
Afterward, the two Beiming Manor elderlies turned into a flash of shadow and flew towards the sky.
“You come and go as you wish. Do you think it is that simple?”
If Beiming Manor sent all its Yang Lords and the Beiming Manor Chief, even Ye Qingtang would be unable to cope with that. It was best to kill these two Yang Lords here right now!
Swoosh!
Ye Qingtang waved the Regicide Sky Blade, and a scarlet sword gleam with an extremely intense power of the Divine Phoenix bloodline slashed the sky.
Boom!
One of the wounded Yang Lords was caught off guard and fully bore Ye Qingtang’s blow.

1067 - Mirror of Illusions_3
The Beiming Manor elderly was extremely pale from the blow and spat out blood as he fell from the sky to the ground.
Realizing the situation, the other Beiming Manor elderly was alarmed and did not dare to stop for a second. He sped up and flew with all his might, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Ye Qingtang did not continue to pursue that Yang Lord who fled away and instead landed from the sky and stood before the heavily-injured Beiming Manor elderly.
It was this person who spoke cleverly to make her put down her guard and then targeted her with a lethal strike.
“You…”
The Beiming Manor elderly was as pale as a dead person as he watched Ye Qingtang warily. Never had he expected that this lady’s combat power would be this large and powerful.
The previous plan was for him and the other Yang Lord to join forces. If they could convince Ye Qingtang to join Beiming Manor, then they would leave it, but if they were unable to convince her, they had to kill her right there and then.
Nonetheless, no one had expected that even when he joined forces with another Yang Lord, in the end, they were also not Ye Qingtang’s opponents and were defeated by her…
“One should not harbor any murderous thoughts. If careless, the one who dies will be yourself,” Ye Qingtang looked at the heavily injured Beiming Manor elderly and scoffed.
“You dare to kill me?!” The Beiming Manor elderly’s expression darkened. “You and Beiming Manor have not reached the irrevocable stage. If you kill me, Beiming Manor will definitely be after your life in the future… Can you take on Beiming Manor on your own?!”
“I don’t want to have any relations with Beiming Manor at all, but you all will not leave me alone. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for putting up a strong resistance.”
As she spoke, she did not even give the Beiming Manor elderly any reaction time and waved her Regicide Sky Blade.
In an instant, the Regicide Sky Blade chopped the Beiming Manor elderly’s head, and a Yang Lord of the Beiming Manor died like that.
Beiming Manor’s loss of a Yang Lord was not as simple as just the death of a powerful figure.
The three mighty forces of this mainland had four Yang Lords each, and this resulted in a counterbalancing effect where no party could do anything to another.
Nonetheless, now that Beiming Manor lost a Yang Lord and only had three Yang Lords remaining, it would no longer be on the same level as Phantom Valley and Peerless School, and they were, at the very least, weaker than the other two great forces.
If Phantom Valley and Peerless School learned of the death of this Yang Lord, the consequences would be disastrous. Once one of the three mighty forces were weakened, it would definitely face the invasion of others. This was the law of the jungle and also an unchangeable fact of the struggle between forces.
Ye Qingtang believed that Beiming Manor would not have any time to deal with Phantom Valley and Peerless School, much less herself.
She searched through the Beiming Manor elderly’s body and kept his space ring. Subsequently, she shot up into the sky and flew towards the Nine Nights Dynasty.
Given Ye Qingtang’s current speed of a Yang Lord, it merely took half a day for her to fly from the Formidable Heavens Dynasty to the Nine Nights Dynasty.
Apart from resolving the internal and external crisis of Falling Sky Valley, Ye Qingtang could perhaps spread the news that Beiming Manor lost a Yang Lord to Phantom Valley and Peerless School…
However, once Ye Qingtang returned to the Nine Nights Dynasty, she would probably have some conflict with Peerless School to help Falling Sky Valley.
