The gentle lady’s brows knit together firmly without a tremor, as the artificial colors on her face faded, her natural innocence was revealed.
In the deep seclusion of the silent woods stood a stunning figure gripping a jade flute, existing as if apart from this world. Her light cyan robe fluttered with the wind, an image of serenity and grace beyond words.
She turned, gazing down at the clear stream flowing beneath the mountain, composed and at ease. An elegantly crafted ancient sword hung on her back, endowing her with a touch of valiant aura, as if reminding others of her unmatched swordsmanship in all the land.
Xu Ziling, originally in a state of anxious haste, found his heart cald at the sight of Miss Feixuan, looking like a Banished Immortal misplaced in the human realm within the woods. He took asured steps into the forest, and though his mouth opened, he feared breaking the tranquility and offending the lady.
At this mont, Miss Feixuan also turned around, her eyes calm like autumn waters, fixing a quiet stare at Xu Ziling as her rosy lips beneath the veil opened gently.
"Ziling, have you been well these past few days?"
Xu Ziling nodded at once, but urgency welled up in his heart again, "Miss Shi, why have you co to such a perilous place at this ti? Could it be you are here to rescue and Zhong? If so, there is truly no need.
Though the Black Wind Village Chief is a Great Evil Man and ruthless in nature, he wants to utilize and Zhong to expand his territory and won’t treat us harshly, but it’s different for you."
Miss Feixuan shook her head gently, "Feixuan has not co primarily for you, but to help the Dali Duan Family and the monks of Tianlong Temple defeat the Black Wind Village Chief and rescue Prince Duan.
However, it now seems that even with Feixuan’s and the two monks’ combined strength, it might still be difficult to overco the Black Wind Village Chief."
"You’re going to get involved and act against the village chief?" Xu Ziling exclaid in shock, trying to dissuade her.
"There’s no need to persuade , we are currently at our wits’ end, and the only option left is to take a risk. Should we fail, we will have attempted our best.
At the very least, during the duel, even if the Black Wind Village Chief is ferocious, once he wins, he won’t harm us afterward, so you don’t need to worry."
As Miss Feixuan spoke, she turned to look at Xu Ziling, "But what I’m more concerned about now is you. I heard that you and Kou Zhong have both consud the Three Corpses Brain God Pill and are controlled by the Black Wind Village Chief, unable to act freely.
The cure for the Three Corpses Brain God Pill is unknown to all.
Now there is only one plan: on the day of our match with the Black Wind Village Chief, you should try to enter his room to find the original Brain God Pill and then hand it over to us, and we will find a way to neutralize the pill."
Xu Ziling gave a wry smile, "I’m afraid that won’t be possible. The village chief’s precious items are all kept on his steed, Demon Hawk.
With the Demon Hawk flying in the sky, it would be impossible for us to get the pill."
"If that’s the case, then on the day of the duel, you and Kou Zhong should quietly leave the mountain. We have already requested the Divine Doctor Hu Qingniu to arrive, and perhaps he can find a cure based on your physical conditions."
"The Indifferent Savior Hu Qingniu!? You were able to get him to take action?"
Xu Ziling acknowledged this with emotion.
Miss Feixuan responded, "Indifferent Savior Hu Qingniu does not save those near death, but you and Kou Zhong are not at death’s door. Moreover, Hu Qingniu once treated Xian Yutong from Hua Mountain of the Golden Silkworm Poison, so he may well have a treatnt for the Brain God Pill poison too."
Xu Ziling gazed steadily at Miss Feixuan, sighing, "Thank you, Miss Shi. On the day of the duel, you all must be careful, and retreat imdiately at any sign of danger. I will coordinate with you.
Even if my body’s Brain God Pill is neutralized, I probably won’t be able to leave the Mountain Village in a short ti."
Miss Feixuan’s eyes flickered with surprise, "Why?"
Xu Ziling explained, "Because of Miss Wanwan. She is now detained within the Black Wind Village, unconscious from serious injuries. She has repeatedly opposed and the Black Wind Village Chief, and now in her ti of need, I cannot abandon her. I plan to take her away when the ti is right."
Miss Feixuan’s brows furrowed slightly, as if she wanted to say sothing, but in the end, she simply nodded lightly and said, "Feixuan will head down the mountain now, and I will return to pay tribute to the mountain tomorrow!"
Her silhouette flashed away, leaving only a faint, elegant fragrance drifting in the air with the breeze, as the beautiful woman had already departed over the snow.
The wind began to rise, the snow was white, and people were parting.
Xu Ziling stood motionless at the spot, stupefied for quite so ti, not quite sure where he had found the courage to tell Miss Feixuan that he intended to stay in the Mountain Village for Wanwan.
But given another chance, he might still say the sa.
...
At dusk.
Jiang Dali erged from Sword Lake Palace after a detailed and in-depth discussion with Queen Yin Zhu Yu Yan about subsequent strategies for cooperation.
To him, sparing Queen Yin Zhu Yu Yan in exchange for a more sincere cooperation with the Yin Gui Sect was not a matter of significance.
There were never absolute enemies in the world, only absolute interests.
However, he had decided to spare Queen Yin not openly, but to feign a lapse in his guard, leading to her escape, while Wanwan would remain in the sub-branch, Wuliang Mountain Village, of Black Wind Village.
In this way, in the eyes of the Martial World people, the Yin Gui Sect and Black Wind Village would still appear antagonistic, and sooner or later, Queen Yin Zhu Yu Yan would co after Jiang Dali to rescue Wanwan.
But truthfully, the Yin Gui Sect and Black Wind Village had long since turned from foes to secret allies, lending support to one another from the shadows.
With the Yin Gui Sect’s penetration into the Martial World and many vassal states, not to ntion the Holy Dynasty, and an exceptionally powerful information system, they had agents and dark piles placed everywhere.
This was the kind of energy that Black Wind Village was lacking.
Jiang Dali had once instructed Li Qingluo to start cultivating such talents.
But at present, Manduo Villa was only just beginning and had yet to see any significant outco.
Now, by cleverly leveraging the power of the Yin Gui Sect, many things would beco much easier to handle.
Even there lurked another, deeper sche in the recesses of Jiang Dali’s heart.
