Huadian Lane No. 13.
A man with an extrely delicate appearance sat in the guest room chair, crossing his legs, his orchid fingers slightly lifted, his voice carried a magnetic charm: "i’Er, long ti no see."
"Mrs. Yin i, when did you arrive? Didn’t you inform i’Er in advance, so I could welco you?" Yue i’Er was very surprised.
Her cultivation had advanced greatly recently, yet she hadn’t noticed Yin i’s arrival at all. The skills of this old shadow were truly fearso.
"Little girl, have you lost your chastity?" Yin i glanced at Yue i’Er’s walking posture and could tell she was no longer virgin. Having often mixed in brothels, no one was more observant of a woman’s state than him.
"Mrs. Yin i, you see through it but don’t speak of it. i’Er encountered a good man, so naturally there was no need to hold back." Yue i’Er was initially shocked, but quickly regained her composure. So things, once faced, cannot be concealed, so there’s no point in hiding.
Yin i is indeed the Sect Leader’s confidant, but he has his own ideas. Throughout history, sect leaders of the Moon Worship Sect haven’t lived past seventy years.
Counting it all up, the current leader might have ten years left.
Yin i could have many more years to live.
"i’Er, do you know the consequences of deceiving the Saint Heir?" Suddenly, a formidable aura emanated from Yin i, crashing towards Yue i’Er.
Yue i’Er imdiately felt as if her chest had been struck, and her mouth tasted tallic. A mouthful of fresh blood spattered onto the ground’s carpet, blooming like plum blossoms.
"Mrs. Yin i, why? Have I offended you?" Yue i’Er gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, stood defiantly, and asked.
"You found the Saint Heir but concealed the news privately, not reporting it. And you even seduced him into defiling your body. Do you not realize he’s only seventeen?" Yin i questioned.
"Seventeen—what’s wrong with that? i’Er is already a candidate for Consort Yue. The Saint Heir will beco the future lord of the Moon Palace, the future Saint Heir. I rely gave myself to him in advance. Mrs. Yin i, even this you want to manage?" Yue i’Er clenched her chest, breathing heavily.
"When the Saint Heir takes a consort, consummates, all that requires the Saint Heir’s judgnt. Secret trysts like yours are forbidden and violate sect rules!"
"Sect rules? Do they say even the Saint Heir covets the won chosen for his own son?" Yue i’Er retorted.
Since everything was laid bare, there was no need to hold back.
"Nonsense, insolence!" Yue i furiously waved, releasing a powerful inner breath, targeting the already injured Yue i’Er.
Seeing Yue i’Er about to be heavily injured.
At that mont, a slim azure figure flew in from outside, raised a hand, and struck that inner breath, pulling Yue i’Er aside.
"Miaoxue..." Yue i’Er breathed a sigh of relief—it was Si Miaoxue. If she hadn’t arrived in ti, she would have been seriously injured.
Si Miaoxue had been progressing rapidly—the cultivation growth rocketing up, having already advanced to the Middle Grade ridian Passage Realm. At this pace.
Si Miaoxue could reach the Peak of ridian Passage Realm before thirty, rivaling her teacher Long Po.
It’s truly unbelievable, but Yue i’Er felt it herself, as her cultivation was also rapidly growing recently.
They all knew this was brought by Lin Miao. Without Lin Miao, their progress wouldn’t have been so remarkable.
She was younger than Si Miaoxue, initially she had no confidence in reaching the ridian Passage Realm before thirty, but now, she had more than confidence; she wanted to compete with Si Miaoxue.
To see who could attain the Peak of ridian Passage Realm at a younger age.
"Si Miaoxue, Middle Grade ridian Passage Realm!" Yin i was slightly shocked; his cultivation was the Peak of ridian Passage Realm, on par with Long Po, just a step away from ascending to Tianyuan.
Once achieving Tianyuan, he would retire from his Protector role and beco an elder in the Moon Worship Sect.
The number of elders in the sect is not fixed; anyone who reaches Tianyuan qualifies for the position, enjoys many privileges, and is exempt from nurous restrictions—even the orders of Saint Heir Yue Jun are not mandatory.
Si Miaoxue was not even thirty, yet she had reached the ridian Passage Realm, and at the Middle Grade level. In the sect’s history, apart from past sect leaders, who else could boast such talent?
This young girl, if she grows, will quickly surpass her teacher Long Po.
"Mr. i, Sect Leader’s personal interests, you are aware. Sister, we were forced; the Saint Heir is the sect’s future, and we were trained within the sect to serve him. To offer ourselves in advance, what’s the harm?" Si Miaoxue shielded Yue i’Er, speaking coldly.
"You found the Saint Heir, why haven’t you reported it? Deceiving the Saint Heir, causing the release of the errant Protector Long Po?"
"My teacher wouldn’t randomly cut ties with the ’Moon God Record’. It was of no use to her. Sect Leader clearly wants to use my teacher to lure back. True, isn’t it?"
"Your teacher might not need it, but the Saint Heir does. She stole it for him."
"Heh, when my teacher returned, I hadn’t found the Saint Heir yet. How could she know he needed the ’Moon God Record’? Besides, he could naturally receive its legacy upon returning to the Moon Palace; why make such an effort to steal it?" Si Miaoxue rebutted.
"Indeed, Miaoxue is right. The Saint Heir could appropriately receive his legacy; why steal it?" Yue i’Er now stood firmly with Si Miaoxue.
"Fine, assuming you’re right. Now, hand the Saint Heir to , for the Saint Heir might grant you rcy, finding you valuable for discovery, otherwise..."
Yin i suddenly felt his inner breath stalling, sowhat unable to rise.
He had been cautious since entering, touching nothing.
Could it be...
Yin i looked at the ancient bronze incense burner on the table. When he knocked Yue i’Er away, she seed to touch it, perhaps sprinkling sothing into it.
"i’er, you?" Si Miaoxue also noticed the odd expression on Yin i’s face, glanced at Yue i’Er, and saw her wink at her.
She understood instantly.
Yue i’Er had used the incense that had subdued her and Yue Shisan before; it was specially made by Lin Miao and carried by Si Miaoxue.
Yue i’Er also had this privilege. They both had antidotes, so they were naturally unafraid.
This kind of incense was virtually unbeatable, even the cunning and devious Moon Worship Sect Protector, Yin i, fell for it.
The main reason was that he had never encountered it before.
"Si Miaoxue, Yue i’Er, you little bitches just wait for !" Yin i was furious and embarrassed. He vanished in a flash in front of the two won. Although he was affected, his profound cultivation allowed this incense to only temporarily disrupt his internal breathing. As a master at the peak of the ridian Passage Realm, it wasn’t too difficult for him to escape.
At least, after leaving this space and ceasing to inhale the incense, his internal breathing, even if blocked, would maintain his ability to escape danger.
"i’Er, go inform Mr. Lin, I’m going after him!" Si Miaoxue ordered. At this mont, if Yin i was allowed to return to the sect alive, the consequences would be unimaginable. Once he restored his cultivation, given his level, probably no one could handle him.
"Miaoxue, be careful..."
...
"What? Yin i, a master at the peak of the ridian Passage Realm, even if affected by the incense, Miaoxue shouldn’t be chasing him alone..." Lin Miao got anxious as soon as he heard the news from Yue i’Er.
"Mr. Lin, I’m worried that Miaoxue isn’t a match for Yin i."
"Yue i’Er, quickly go to Li Hen City and call for Yue Wu and Yue Shisan; together, numbers give strength. I’ll think of a way and leave signs along the way for you to catch up with as soon as possible!" Lin Miao instructed.
"Okay."
Yue i’Er had beco one of their own. The restrictions on Yue Wu had long been lifted, and Lin Miao had even managed to repair Yue Shisan’s Dantian.
Although Yue Shisan didn’t say anything, his attitude towards Lin Miao had changed from before.
These two were stationed at the general store in Li Hen City. The sugar crystal trade was too profitable to be left unsupervised.
"Mao’er, co here." Lin Miao announced a temporary clinic closure, returned to the inn, and called Lin Mao over, giving him a note.
"Deliver this to Shanglin Temple imdiately, hand it personally to the Discipline Monk, Fahai. I’ll wait for him at Six Miles Bridge outside the city," Lin Miao instructed. "Be quick, go by horse."
"Understood, Master Lin."
...
Lin Miao certainly understood this was the best opportunity to hunt Yin i. If missed, there probably wouldn’t be another chance.
It’s a pity that the heroine Bai Feng wasn’t at Dongshan; otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent Lin Mao to seek Fahai. Shanglin Temple owed him a favor, and now he could use it.
Otherwise, it would indeed be difficult to capture Yin i, who was at the peak of the ridian Passage Realm.
Lin Miao also prepared himself, bringing the necessary weapons and wound dicines. Even with so many people, there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t need to fight.
The wound dicine was essential, and he even prepared three ergency kits.
After giving Sun Youwei a word of advice,
Lin Miao also led his horse out the door.
Yin i was a mber of the Moon Worship Sect, and he certainly wouldn’t dare to stay in the city. If discovered, and besieged, escape would be impossible.
His only option was the direction outside the city, where there was vast space. With his abilities and Lightweight Skill, not many places could trap him.
But now, with his internal breathing obstructed and combat power reduced, performing at half his usual strength would be good.
One incense stick’s ti later.
Outside the city at Six Miles Bridge.
A monk clad in patchwork garnts, wearing a conical hat, and moving with astonishing speed arrived, wielding a staff made of cast steel.
"Amitabha, greetings, Mr. Lin!"
"Great monk, help solve a big problem, and I’ll clear all grievances with your Shanglin Temple, how about it?" Lin Miao said, sitting poised on the horse.
"This monk does not kill."
"I won’t ask you to kill. You just need to capture that demon for ." Lin Miao nodded in agreent. Asking a monk to kill was indeed inappropriate.
"That would be best," Fahai nodded, not asking further questions.
"A horse is prepared for you, the road is a bit long," Lin Miao tossed the reins of another horse to Fahai. "That demon headed towards Longchuan Canyon."
"Then, this monk will join Mr. Lin in subduing the demon!"
