Wang ng wiped his mouth. "The food here isn’t bad. Moo Shan, huh? He’s a strange old man. He insisted on taking as his disciple, but my dream was to beco a Saint Cultivator, so I refused. Then he just disappeared."
Yanm Yuyue hadn’t expected him to answer so readily. "And that’s it?"
Wang ng looked at Yanm Yuyue curiously. "What else did you think there was?"
Yanm Yuyue smiled. "Do you think I believe you?"
Wang ng waved his hands helplessly. "There’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe . You could try using so Enchantnt Technique or Soul Searching Technique on . All in all, that old man was pretty good to . If you two have so history, and it’s not too serious, I can diate. If it’s very serious, you’re better off looking for him yourself."
Yanm Yuyue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. No matter how heartless Moo Shan might have been, he was still an indomitable expert. This Wang ng, on the other hand, had none of the domineering aura of an Evil Cultivator.
"You’ll stay here quietly for the next few days. Once I’ve confird a few things, I’ll naturally let you go."
"Senior Sister Yanm, I’m a person of so standing in the Holy Hall. You can’t just silence by killing and dumping my body in the wilderness."
Wang ng said.
Yanm Yuyue snorted coldly. "Don’t worry, I’m not interested in your life."
’I already had my prejudices, but seeing him completely devoid of any heroic bearing makes despise him even more. For Moo Shan to have taken a liking to soone like this Wang ng, he probably isn’t a good person himself. He must have used so sweet talk to trick the Ancestral Master.’
Yanm Yuyue ordered a disciple to keep an eye on Wang ng, then hurried out as if for so urgent matter.
Wang ng opened his mouth, but seeing the Heaven-Dominating Hall disciples glaring at him like tigers from the doorway, he could only stay put.
Since he had nothing better to do, he began to cultivate. Wang ng already had a foundation in the Golden Palace Technique, Water Wave Technique, and Fla Technique, so they required almost no effort. The Wood Spring Technique and Earth Kun Technique, on the other hand, would take so focus, as his previous cultivation of the Five Elents hadn’t included them.
Wang ng cultivated at a leisurely pace, leaving the guards watching him from outside completely stunned.
"This kid’s got so real nerve."
"Forget it, I don’t have ti for him. You keep an eye on him. I’m going to see if the Senior Sister has any orders."
"Alright, leave it to ."
Atop Tongming Pavilion, Yanm Yuyue gathered the disciples, her expression grave.
"Long the Second, tell everyone the situation."
"Yes, Senior Sister. Demon Sword Huangfu Qi, the master of Pu Ba from the Mad Sword Sect, believes we’re the ones who slaughtered the Mad Sword Sect. He’s given us three days to give him an explanation, or else he’ll demand blood for blood."
Long the Second continued in a low voice, "We’ve also investigated the massacre of the Mad Sword Sect, but we haven’t found anything. What we can confirm is that it wasn’t a group battle. It was likely a very small number of experts, maybe even just one person, who wiped them out. The terrifying part is that not a single person from the Mad Sword Sect survived. The opponent’s strength is unbelievably high."
"Huangfu Qi is currently a guest Ancestral Master for the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. I’m afraid this is also the Ten Thousand Demons Sect testing our limits."
"Senior Sister, who does the Ten Thousand Demons Sect think they are? If they want a war, we’ll give them one!"
"Exactly! How could our Heaven-Dominating Hall be afraid of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect!"
Yanm Yuyue had made a special trip to the Mad Sword Sect. "The Mad Sword Sect was slaughtered by a single person. This person’s strength has likely reached an incredible realm. Huangfu Qi can’t have failed to see that. He’s just using this as a pretext. However, the Evil Lord advocates for balance in the Small Thousand World, and we cannot be the ones to set this precedent. Have the disciples restrain themselves. When Huangfu Qi arrives, I will deal with him myself."
"Senior Sister, should we have the Main Hall send an Ancestral Master? This..."
"Long the Second, are you stupid? With Senior Sister here, what’s a re Huangfu Qi?"
Long Biao said.
"Since we’ve already been exposed, we’ll handle what needs to be handled. I’ll take care of the matter with Huangfu Qi myself. Also, the news that Wang ng is here must be sealed. It cannot be leaked."
Everyone agreed. Yanm Yuyue seed to rember sothing and got up to find Wang ng.
When she saw Wang ng cultivating so brazenly and without a care in "enemy" territory, she was rather speechless.
"Has he been like this the whole ti?"
"Yes, Senior Sister. The man’s got incredible nerve. He’s not even afraid of his cultivation going awry, causing him to beco Fallen into Demon."
Yanm Yuyue glanced at Wang ng. "Let know when he’s finished cultivating."
’Yanm Yuyue didn’t believe a word Wang ng had said. Once she dealt with Huangfu Qi, she would settle the score with him slowly.’
Night fell. The entire Third Layer of the Tongming Auction Pavilion had been cleared out, leaving only Yanm Yuyue and Wang ng. Yanm Yuyue floated silently in mid-air. Suddenly, her star-like eyes snapped open. A middle-aged man had appeared in the room.
"Elder Huangfu, your sudden visit caught unprepared. Please forgive my lack of a proper welco."
Yanm Yuyue slowly descended to the floor and said in a low voice.
Huangfu Qi smiled faintly. "Little girl, you’re quite crafty. But it’s useless. I’ve already set up a barrier; they won’t be able to hear us."
Yanm Yuyue’s expression didn’t change. "Elder, you must be here about the Mad Sword Sect. That incident has nothing to do with our Heaven-Dominating Hall."
Huangfu Qi sized up Yanm Yuyue. "What the hell do I care about the business between the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and your Heaven-Dominating Hall? That brat Pu Ba was incompetent and deserved to get his head lopped off. But, since this old man took benefits from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, I have to at least make a show of it. I just didn’t expect to run into you."
Yanm Yuyue grew cautious, but Huangfu Qi’s gaze beca more and more brazen. "I’ve long heard that Yanm Yun was the number one beauty of her ti, and that the Evil Lord’s first disciple bears a striking resemblance to her. I never thought this old man would be so blessed. Why not show your true face and let this old man admire you?"
"Huangfu Qi, you’ve got so nerve!"
"Tsk tsk, little girl, don’t try to scare with Jiny Tiannan. He’s a world away, what can he do to ? Besides, who’s going to know?"
Huangfu Qi grew bolder. He released his Elental Power, using his aura to suppress Yanm Yuyue and prevent her from calling for help. If word of this got out, he would surely die. His only choice was to see it through to the end.
But facing Huangfu Qi, who had already broken through to the Minor Perfection Realm, Yanm Yuyue showed not a hint of fear. She steadily drew her sword.
"Die!"
Suddenly, the Ten Thousand Swords Light surged forth. Huangfu Qi paused instinctively. With a BANG, Yanm Yuyue was gone.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Huangfu Qi chased after her, furious and exasperated.
Wang ng was beyond frustrated. "Senior Sister Yanm, if you were going to run, you should have just run! Why did you have to bring along? Aren’t I just dead weight?"
Yanm Yuyue flew rapidly on her sword. "Shut up if you don’t want to die!"
If she hadn’t brought Wang ng with her, Huangfu Qi would have surely killed him to silence him. If word of this incident got out, regardless of whether it was true, how could Jiny Tiannan possibly spare him? Besides, Yanm Yuyue still needed to question Wang ng about Moo Shan’s whereabouts.
Huangfu Qi pursued them relentlessly. He had been montarily possessed, wanting a taste of the Heaven-Dominating Hall’s Saintess. The key factor was the legend that this Yanm Yuyue looked very much like Yanm Yun. Who wouldn’t want to sample the flavor of the world’s number one beauty?
Huangfu Qi was already giving chase on his sword from behind, and he was getting closer and closer.
"Stop struggling! You can’t escape!"
Huangfu Qi’s voice ca from behind.
Wang ng sighed. He was reminded of that phrase from Li Tianyi: *why bother suffering like this?*
He cleared his throat. "Huangfu Qi is a pervert! He’s molesting Yanm Yuyue!"
Wang ng had a loud voice, and he put all his strength into it. As his shout echoed out, Huangfu Qi, who was in hot pursuit, actually stumbled, and the distance between them widened a little.
"Shut your mouth, kid!" Huangfu Qi’s furious roar ca from the distance.
"You shut up!" Yanm Yuyue was both embarrassed and enraged.
"Senior Sister Yanm, since when were you two so in sync!"
Wang ng said helplessly, then let out another shout. It was the simplest and most direct way to solve the problem.
Huangfu Qi grew anxious, his face flushing red. The light from his flying sword flared out as he pushed his Elental Power to the limit. The distance between them was shrinking again, but just then, a beam of sword light shot into the sky and blocked everyone’s path.
Lingdu Mountain had been kicked out and had been searching for traces of Moo Shan here ever since. He had no other clues, so he could only lie in wait. He hadn’t found his elder, but he’d stumbled upon this matter instead.
They were all from the Evil Cultivator lineage, after all. It was only when he flew closer that he realized it was Huangfu Qi. This old fellow’s strength was greater than his own.
However, for Evil Cultivators, death was a small matter, but face was a big one. Moreover, the woman opposite was a disciple of the Evil Lord. This Huangfu Qi must have the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard.
"Huangfu Qi, for an elder like you to bully a junior... that doesn’t look too good, does it?" Lingdu Mountain said.
Huangfu Qi glanced at Lingdu Mountain. "This is a grudge between the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and the Heaven-Dominating Hall. It has nothing to do with your Evil Spirit Hall. Lingdu Mountain, your Cultivation didn’t co easy. It’s best if you mind your own business!"
There was no way Huangfu Qi would let Yanm Yuyue return alive. Otherwise, not even the Ten Thousand Demons Sect could protect him.
Lingdu Mountain hesitated. He had acted on impulse. Recalling that last sentence, it seed Huangfu Qi was intent on silencing a witness. Was it really necessary for him to get involved?
As he hesitated, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear. "This boy has a connection to . Stop him."
Hearing this voice, Lingdu Mountain was instantly energized. "Huangfu Qi, Lingdu Mountain is making this his business after all! If I go all out, letting the two of them escape will be more than easy!"
Huangfu Qi was also weighing his options, murderous intent rising and falling within him. If this Lingdu Mountain was determined to pester him to death, he really wouldn’t be able to catch Yanm Yuyue.
He had clearly missed his best opportunity. Huangfu Qi was a Loose Cultivator who had survived by navigating tight spots; there was no situation he hadn’t seen. He suddenly burst into laughter. "Hehe, my dear niece, this old man was just joking earlier. I really just wanted to know if the Mad Sword Sect incident was related to the Heaven-Dominating Hall. Now I’m certain it has nothing to do with your Heaven-Dominating Hall!"
Lingdu Mountain also smiled slightly. "There you have it. Miss Yanm, since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, allow to be the peacemaker. Let’s just let this matter drop."
Yanm Yuyue knew the situation was not in her favor. She cald herself and said, "Nothing happened today."
"Haha, good! A hero is born from the young!"
Huangfu Qi let out a hearty laugh, then quickly departed on his sword. Wang ng could feel that Yanm Yuyue had the impulse to attack. She likely held back at the last mont because he was there, with the added variable of Lingdu Mountain. ’She must be carrying so powerful Magical Artifact,’ he thought.
Huangfu Qi had no choice either. Lingdu Mountain was strong enough to stop him. Rather than a mutually destructive fight, it was better to let it go, especially since his opponent hadn’t suffered any real loss. Still, he fled as far and as fast as he could. This score would have to be settled, sooner or later.
The three of them landed, and Yanm Yuyue put away her flying sword. "Many thanks to Elder Ling for your assistance."
In truth, the Heaven-Dominating Hall and the Evil Spirit Hall had no friendly relations. They simply both belonged to the Evil Cultivator faction. Lingdu Mountain’s sudden help was truly a bit of a surprise to Yanm Yuyue.
Lingdu Mountain waved his hand and pointed at Wang ng. "Don’t thank . I was giving him face. Little brother, what’s your na?"
Wang ng smiled. "Wang ng. The ’ng’ from ’ferocious’." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to co to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
