🕑 Added 2021-01-09 18:08:29 +0000 UTCChapter 31 Rong City's Auction!
Perhaps fearing that mortal auctioneer would be easily frightened in front of a crowd of cultivation, the auctioneer was also a cultivator, and his cultivation base was not low either, probably at least Destiny Golden Core stage or above.
After the auctioneer came to the stage, he did not hurry to say his opening speech but looked around the stage. While he looked around, Xing Yun could feel a small force sweeping across the booth where he and Yun Xia were, which was a scan of the Spiritual Sense.
It was worth mentioning that Spiritual Sense simply scanned the outside of the booth and did not scan anything inside the booth.
Even without Yun Xia's explanation, Xing Yun could understand what this fellow handled this scanning process very well.
Not only was he able to determine whether there were guests in the booth, but he would also not offend the guests who came to the auction, proving the great manner of the Heavenly Palace Of Ten Thousand Treasures while also demonstrating its strong strength.
A simple summary was a phrase: we have given you enough face, whoever is daring to cause trouble then don't blame us for not giving you any face.
After Spiritual Sense swept past, the auction was officially opened.
The opening speech of the auction was different from the kind of auction Xing Yun knew, which may be because of the difference of the world or the auctioneer.
His opening was something like: “Dear fellow Taoist, faires, Abbots, Zen masters, Arhats, and seniors. Thank you for coming to the auction of Heavenly Palace Of Ten Thousand Treasures in Rong City from far away. I am a registered auctioneer of Treasure Appraisal Palace..."
“Just cut the crap!”
"Boo!"
“Who hired this bastard to waste our time?”
“Do you still want the business or not? .”
……
Such scolding never ceased, and even the Buddhist cultivators that were known for their go temper almost shouted abuse at the auctioneer.
“Shut you—! Ahem, oh merciful Buddha... Whoever takes this wordy man away will accumulate good karma.”
Yun Xia strangely didn't follow the booing, but eating the orange, while watching this interesting farce.
"Hey... tsk, this Rong City is also full of sour oranges."
Xing Yun: "..."
Holding back the strong desire to complain, Xing Yun put its attention back to the auctioneer.
It could be seen that Treasure Appraisal Palace has been working hard on the training of its registered auctioneer. So many people were booing at him, but the auctioneer just smiled and calmly faced the scorn of thousands of people.
"Don't like it? Don't like it then leave!”
The shout was so powerful that it was like a thunderclap. If it wasn't for Yun Xia who protected Xing Yun in time, Xing Yun's blood and qi flow might have already been completely disrupted by this shout.
"Interesting. The little guy they found has actually reached the Spirit Separation Stage," Yun Xia put the rest of the orange into the mouth of Xing Yun, her face rarely appeared cautious look, "don't ask me how strong the Spirit Separation Stage is, you just need to know that they can whoop the Nascent Soul cultivators' asses easily...."
Forcibly swallowing the sour orange in the mouth, Xing Yun jumped up and kicked Yun Xia's knees.
Failed.
“What's wrong with you! Why do you give me something even if you also don't want to eat!"
“It's even more shameful to waste food than selling your body. Isn't this what you said?"
Xing Yun's only response to this was another failed attempt to jump and kick her.
"Speaking of which, what is your chance of winning when facing the Spirit Separation Stage cultivator?"
Lying back on the reclining chair in a comfortable posture, Yun Xia snorted softly.
"Chance? He, sister I am invincible alright? Just a mere the Spirit Separation Stage cultivator...... Wait, why are you asking this, little girl?" Suddenly sitting up from the reclining chair, Yun ZXia's big eyes flashed with a piercing light, "Hmm, as expected of the little girl who was brought up by this elder sister. You even think like this elder sister."
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about," vaguely guessed what Yun Xia meant, Xing Yun quickly moved aside to get far away from her, "I am just asking. And besides, even if we want to rob someone, we shouldn't rob him. I'm not interested in robbing the auction in front of so many people."
"Oh, I see. Are you going to make a name for yourself, little girl? Like stealing auction treasures in plain sight!”
“You understand your tits! Go eat your oranges. Let me sit here in peace...”
"Okay, you just be your quiet beautiful girl, and sister I will paralyze here for a while."
“……”
Sooner or later one day, Xing Yun would use his own strength to whoop this female hooligan's ass on the ground.
The auctioneer's deterrence was very effective, at least while Xing Yun and Yun Xia were bickering with each other, no one dared to say anything back.
Auction items were always presented from poor to good in turn, and this place was no exception.
As the auctioneer was in high spirits, a plant named "Heavenly Primal Sunflower" was carried onto the platform. At the moment of mentioning the plant, it caused a commotion in the venue. After the plant was finally carried onto the stage, the atmosphere reached its peak for a short time.
Before the auctioneer had even given out the lowest bidding price, people already started bidding.
"One million spirit stones!" This voice was filled with the determination of getting this plant.
However, it would not be that easy.
"Just one million, you think you can get this plant? How arrogant," said another faint voice, full of irony.
The next bidding price given out by this voice made people gasped in shock.
“I will pay five times more.”
The auctioneer nodded with a smile: “Give me a specific number.”
"...Five million spirit stones."
It amazed Xing Yun that Heavenly Primal Sunflower would appear in Rong City this little place, but he was more curious why this plant was so expensive.
Yun Xia was very knowledgeable, and when she saw that Xing Yun was going to ask her, her face bloomed like a smile.
"Come, let this sister take a bite, sister, I will tell you~"
"Then you can go to hell."
"Tsk, this little girl is such a downer," said Yun Xia. She rolled her eyes and moved Xing Yun to her side with a wave of her hand. "The value of this herb lies in its self-healing ability."
As the bidding began, the auctioneer also removed the restraining field of the Heavenly Primal Sunflower.
As soon as the restraining field was removed, a delightful scent was spread out.
The plant called Heavenly Primal Sunflower looked like a golden dragon, its main stem gave off an unceasingly vigorous feeling, faintly showing an aura from ancient times.
Branches from the dragon's body were like the children of the dragon flying around the dragon, the delightful scent came from the green buds in the twisting branches.
"Saying too much professional jargon probably won't be understood by you this small illiterate. To put it simply, if you find a place that has a spirit vein, dig a pit, and plant it. Then just sitting beside it can nourish one's body and heal one's injury. See the buds there? When it blossoms, its fruit is the best choice for medicine. Even if you eat it raw, its effect is similar to that of the Rejuvenation Pill of our Shang Qing Sect. The most important thing is, with the spirit vein's support, it would bear fruit very fast, and you can harvest a pot in two months."
Nodded in understanding, Xing Yun pulled himself out of her arms.
"No wonder it is valuable. Isn't this like an automatic alchemy furnace?"
"Interesting analogy, but it is correct. In addition, its self-healing ability is also very great. Even if it is cut into chunks, it can grow back after a night. It's a good thing."
“Then we get this for my master?”
As if hearing a big joke, she kept laughing until Xing Yun put a sour orange into her mouth. Then she stopped laughing because of choking.
"You little girl, you really think that our Shang Qing Sect is some inferior sect? What do you think all that extra chewy stuff in the Spiritual Concentrating Wood you chew is? Number Two has planted about 30 fields of Heavenly Primal Sunflower in his yard. If you want I can get a few kilos for you once we get back."
Xing Yun: "..."
So now Xing Yun was a little curious about what was out there that the Shang Qing Sect did not have.
Chapter 32, Robbing own people along the way.
Facts have proved that the outside world really had something that the Shang Qing Sect didn't have, the most typical was integrity.
Take the auction of Heavenly Primal Sunflower for example. After the bidding price was increased again and again, which was of course intentionally, the plant was bought by the first bidder at the price of 200,000 high-grade spirit stones.
In the beginning, the price was started from low-grade spirit stones, this was accepted by common practice.
When the amount reached a certain degree, naturally, people would use a more valuable spirit stone as a currency.
As to why people generally used low-grade spirit stones, it was still because of the quality of the spirit stone itself. The high-grade spirit stone contained purer and more spiritual energy. Most cultivators often used them as an emergency energy supply. In terms of using them as a currency...
That was really the last resort.
Of course, in the cultivation world sometimes cultivators often followed the very primitive practice of bartering for goods, but thinking that this was a small auction in a small city, what kind of treasure could the cultivators here possibly have.
And cultivators were usually very stingy, he did not rob the auction was purely because there was the Spirit Separation Stage cultivator here.
Saying so much was mainly to express that the fellow who bought the plant still knew what shame was. If this was Yun Xia, she would have probably already robbed the place if she saw something she liked.
Hmm, she would've probably also robbed the place if Xing Yun saw something he liked...
Almost all the cultivators were arrogant. Not to mention that people would maliciously bid up the price, if it weren't for the fact that they were in an audition, they would've already started to fight with each other if someone else dared to think about getting the same treasure they were interested in.
Such were the customs of this world where fists decided everything.
The fellow who bought the heavenly sunflower was a Taoist from the Heavenly Ultimate Sect, and the cultivator who was competing with him didn't reveal any information about his sect. The cultivators of the Heavenly Ultimate Sect all cultivated through battles. So there was no surprise that those two people now have a feud with each other.
There were many more similar examples after the subsequent treasures. After all, there were still quite many items that needed to be auctioned out.
It could be said that almost every item later one would trigger an intense competition between two groups of people, and even the Shang Qing sect was no exception.
The people from the Shang Qing Sect were the disciples of Sword Peak and Misty Peak. The disciple of Misty Peak was responsible for acting arrogant, while the disciple of the Sword Peak was responsible for acting overbearing.
It was probably the requirements of the sect task, the two only picked on the sect they could afford to provoke. And those two people were very clever, they directly picked on the people from the Vast Sword Mountain...
See, very clever.
The disciple of The Misty Peak was Luo Zeyang, who, like his senior brother Li Changge, was an unearthly elegant handsome young man.
Luo Zeyang was relieved when he saw that the people from The Vast Sword Mountain finally began bid for a flying sword.
-- They were afraid that people at The Vast Sword Mountain would not bid for anything.
“Senior Brother Zeyang...”
“That is a good flying sword, Junior brother Erming... Huh?” Luo Ziyang originally wanted to start a conversation using Zhang Erming's identity as a sword cultivator, but suddenly he found something was unusual about the flying sword, "This flying sword is not simple, Junior brother ErMing, I'm afraid it's difficult to keep the spare money to supplement private things for you and me today."
“This junior brother also wanted to tell Senior Brother Zeyang about this. This sword looks ordinary, but there must be a reason why this flying sword is arranged to be auctioned later."
"Bring this item back to the sword will definitely be a great achievement, Junior brother you may start bidding, do not let The Vast Sword Mountain get it."
In fact, not only the people from the Shang Qing Sect were surprised, but others were also very puzzled about why this "normal sword" was auctioned at this time.
Some people also thought that there may be something unusual about this sword, and they also wanted to bid. But as soon as they heard the people from the Shang Qing Sect called out the price, many people stopped thinking about it.
No one wanted to offend a big sect in this kind of auction. Especially those who had already had a small feud with other sects.
Yes, the main reason was afraid of the Shang Qing Sect's seventh and twelfth supreme elders finding excuses to make trouble. Of course, there were also people who were afraid of the disciples of the Sword Peak and Fairy Maiden Peak causing trouble for them.
This group of people had no cultivators' demeanor at all. Ambushing and sneak attacking would be carried out in one go. Moreover, they would handle it very well that even if other people wanted to complain, they would not be able to have enough reasons.
The abnormality of that flying sword was not discovered by Yun Xia first, but Xing Yun.
The flying sword was enclosed by a restraining field, in public places, Yun Xia could not use her powerful Spiritual Sense to detect it, but Xing Yun vaguely felt that the flying sword was calling him.
He did not understand why he felt this way, so told Yun Xia. After Yun Xia immediately said,
"It must be a fate, and if you think it might be useful to you, let's just get it first."
Seeing that the Shang Qing Sect had already called out a million low-grade spirit stones, Xing Yun's right eyelid suddenly twitched.
"You... don't have that much money, right?"
"Five million," it was a strong man's voice. After all, Yun Xia instantly restored to the original voice, "you are looking down on this elder sister? Since when did this elder sister bring any money out of the sect?”
Xing Yun didn't know how she could say such shameless words without feeling embarrassed.
But then he suddenly understood that, since Yun Xia said that, then it would definitely be him who would suffer.
"Female hooligan, I am warning you, if you dare think about using me to get money, I'll break up with you today!"
"Tsk... It is not like you will really lose your first time. Your first time belongs to this elder sister. Don't worry, I will... what? You have opinions? Shut your mouth!”
“……”
Damn it!
When the price was driven up to 3000 high-grade spirit stones, Yun Xia finally stopped bidding.
“Congratulations on the Shang Qing Sect for getting this treasure,” the auctioneer was very happy to see this flying sword was bought by the Shang Qing Sect, and his tone did not show a sense of arrogance. “I believe that everyone here is curious as to why this seemingly ordinary sword is worth so much. I will not hide it. This sword came from the Treasure Palace Of The Heavenly Mystery, and it was one of the entry passes for the Treasure Palace when it appears next time.
As soon as this was said, it suddenly caused a commotion in the venue.
“But you don't have to worry. If you want this treasure, You can get it from the Shang Qing Sect. Once the customers leave the auction, Heavenly Palace Of Ten Thousand Treasures will not take any responsibility for what will happen to them.”
At this time there were already whispering curses and complaints.
“Senior brother! Treasure Palace Of The Heavenly Mystery!”
Hearing that this flying sword was the entry pass, Erming's eyes lit up.
But he was not excited that he would be able to enter tye Treasure Palace, but... once they brought this thing back, not only would the sect reward them heavily, but privately those core disciples who would be selected to enter the Treasure Palace would also reward them as well.
“Junior brother, this trip is really worth it...”
Bang!
Before Lozeyang finished his words the door of the private booth was violently broken open from the outside.
Chapter 33 Secret Realm Token
In fact, this was the Xianxia style reaction. If it was changed to an urban style, the two of them may have pointed their guns at the door now, and may have already shouted "who are you" and pulled the trigger.
After all, catching people by surprise was the key to everything.
"How dare you! Who are you! Do you know this is..."
"Little bastard, sister, I have already given you both enough face by kicking, now stand aside!"
Yun Xia's attitude was, as always, like a hooligan.
But she was right to say that, because if it weren’t for Xing Yun’s constant nagging on the side, the way to break the door would not be so gentle. She would've probably blast it with an explosion talisman, etc. In addition, after breaking the door, she might cast out several dazzling talismans to blind them and then stab them with a sword several times.
To be honest, Xing Yun felt that it would not be a problem for this female gangster to become a SWAT police in modern society.
——Yes, the premise was that she could resist killing the hostages with a grenade.
Yun Xia's voice was very recognizable; even if her voice was not heard often by other disciples, combined with her hooligan style speech and with the courage to kick the door, the two Shang Qing Sect disciples immediately recognized her identity.
Luo Zeyang may have had a more tragic experience, and he blurted out immediately when he learned that the identity of the person was Yun Xia.
"Supreme Elder! We are friendly! Don't hurt us!"
Bang!
Xing Yun twitched his mouth and looked at Luo Zeyang who was blown onto the wall by a flash of fire. Thinking for a while, he couldn't help but put his hand on his face.
"You wouldn't have been blown into the wall if you just stayed silent."
"Haiya! What are you talking about!"
"Greetings Supreme Elder and Little Martial Granduncle..."
At this time, Xing Yun realized that the person who had not been blown out was a bit familiar, and after careful identification, the corners of his eyebrows suddenly became crescents.
Bang!
"Tsk, you little girl is really a fast learner."
"That's for all the trouble he caused me in Qing Xu Secret Realm."
The quaint little flying sword that was sent over was put into the interspatial ring, and Xing Yun's face remained unchanged and kicked the crotch of the disciple Zhang Erming who had already fainted two times.
"Say, female hooligan, did you often rob the fellow disciples?"
"Huh?" Although Yun Xia really wanted to correct the way Xing Yun called her, she still refuted his statement first, "What nonsense is this? Taking things from the fellow disciple is not robbing, alright? It's their blessing that this sister is fond of the items that they have. Didn't you see that I leave them a talisman seal? With this talisman seal, after returning to the sect, they will definitely be rewarded by their peak leaders, alright? If they don't reward them...
"If they don't, you are going to chop them with your kitchen knife, right?"
"You are talking nonsense again," She rolled her eyes at Xing Yun, and put on a gentle look, "Sister, I just use mace to talk to them."
There was no fart difference!
Sympathizing for everyone in the Shang Qing Sect for three seconds, Xing Yun pulled the hooligan and quickly left the private room.
The movement caused by this kick has already caused Heavenly Palace Of Ten Thousand Treasures to sound the alarm. If they don't leave now, it would be too late.
The auction was interrupted like this, of course, some people were happy and some were worried, but after the sword was taken away using this kind of method, it also saved Zhang Erming and Luo Zeyang's lives.
Shang Qing Sect was a big sect, but if things happened outside, as long as the traces were removed, who would know who did it?
Even if it was found out, at that time, as long as the person refused to admit it, the Shang Qing Sect would not be able to do anything because of the factors that hinder the checks and balances between the sects.
Facts have proved that this was true. With the state of being beaten, combined with their good acting skills made the "ally" of Heavenly Palace Of Ten Thousand Treasures immediately issued an wanted order through Skynet, offering high rewards to catch those robbers who stole the auction item. At the same time, Heavenly Palace Of Ten Thousand Treasures also sent out his own disciples to search for the robbers everywhere.
The promises of cultivators were of enormous weight. Since there was a contract, the Heavenly Palace Of Ten Thousand Treasures would do everything they could to maintain their reputation.
Because of that, the two real criminals suffered greatly.
With his arms akimbo and glaring at Fairy Yun Xia who was still trimming her nails in a leisurely manner, the anger of Xing Yun almost shot two meters out of her eyes.
"How can you still be this leisurely! Look! You! Look! Look! We are wanted by the entire city"
"Haiya, we are just wanted by a city? Why are you so angry, Little girl."
She flicked the cut nail to Xing Yun's forehead and then found a comfortable position to lie down on the bed.
"Sister, I used to be wanted by the whole realm, but I never panicked. You are still too young, too naive."
"You still have the face to say it! ？”
It was fine if she didn't mention it. As soon as she mentioned it, Xing Yun was even angrier.
"Okay, I am not going to complain about the stupid identity of yours made them suspect us immediately, but why the hell is there only one portrait when both of us are wanted? And why is it so ugly! Why! Ah!"
This string of questions stunned Yun Xia for a moment, and then she burst out laughing.
"Oh, so you are angry about this?"
"Yes... Bah! What I care about is why there is only one portrait?"
"It is because you are still too weak," Yun Xia has always enjoyed provoking other people, and it was even worse when the person was Xing Yun. "as long as you are as powerful as this elder sister, those two little batards would not dare to offend you."
Xing Yun understood that strength decided everything in the cultivation world this, but he didn't expect that it would appear in this way.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to ignore the female hooligan.
Because what she said was not wrong.
"Strength is everything here," Seeing Xing Yun was angry but unable to refute, Yun Xia suddenly said, "Speaking of which, little girl, do you know what is Treasure Palace Of The Heavenly Mystery?"
"I don't know. Probably a place with a lot of good things."
Angrily replied, Xing Yun continued to figure out how to escape.
"Your attitude is really a bit strange, let's put it this way," she forcibly pulled Xing Yun to her side, and did not tease him, but continued to explain Treasure Palace Of The Heavenly Mystery to Xing Yun in a gentle tone, "Treasure Palace Of The Heavenly Mystery has many treasures. But the real treasure is still the thing called a wisp of divine opportunity. Every time Treasure Palace Of The Heavenly Mystery appeared, it would carry a wisp of divine opportunity with it. As long as one can obtain a wisp of divine opportunity...."
"That person's cultivation path would be unimpeded, and the sect would be blessed for hundreds of years, right?" Xing Yun had heard of a lot of Yun Xia's history in Fairy Maiden Peak. What he heard the most was the legend that she once single-handedly seized the wisp of divine opportunity. "but think about it, hooligan. I am still weak, but you want me to get that thing? Do you know that this is no different from sending me to die? I don't think other sects would let me take that easily."
"It's great that you know it is difficult."
Surprisingly, Yun Xia said such a sentence.
Chapter 34 Hallucinations?
To be honest, Xing Yun thought that Yun Xia wanted him to compete with other people for it, even if he couldn't get it in the end, it would be a valuable experience.
After all, there were some things that could only be fully understood through actual contact.
But Yun Xia suddenly said such a sentence, which surprised him.
"What are you thinking about, you core disciples are the precious things of our Shang Qing Sect." As if Yun Xia could read minds, she saw Xing Yun's thoughts at a glance, "So since you said that you felt the connection to the pass, naturally, sister, I will not stop you, but if you want to go, Sister, I will strictly adhere to one philosophy."
"Don't be a coward, but if there is a problem, run away first?"
"You damn right!"
“……”
Xing Yun really didn't know what to say now.
Being a coward was definitely necessary. You see, Xing Yun was currently running like a coward now, trying to get rid of all the trouble.
At the moment, he couldn't tell anything from the scene outside. The streets were still busy with many people bustling around. Shops were still opening, and people were still shopping on the streets. But secretly, the entire Rong City has been surrounded by the people of Heavenly Palace Of Ten Thousand Treasures. Even if a bug flew out of the city, it would be scanned by cultivators' Spiritual Sense at least ten times, for fear that this flying bug was some disguised magic item.
The people in Heavenly Palace Of Ten Thousand Treasures believed that such a quick response could lock the people who robbed the auction within the city, but Heavenly Palace Of Ten Thousand Treasures never thought that they were facing existence like Yun Xia.
Standing at the top of flying swords and looking at the blocked Rong City, Yun Xia squeezed Xing Yun's cheek triumphantly.
"See? Little girl, your sister, I told you that they wouldn't be able to find us. But you didn't believe it."
"To be honest, I still don't believe it..."
Xing Yun didn't know what happened. Earlier on, he was still thinking about how to disguise themselves, but the scenery in front of him suddenly became distorted.
It was like knocking over a color palette, all the colors were twisted and merged toward the center in an instant.
When the scenery returned to normal, he was already standing on Yun Xia's blue sky sword, and the place where the two of them were standing was shockingly far away from Rong City.
"What's the situation? Did you use the rusty teleportation formation again?"
"Haiya, what are you talking about, can you stop mocking this elder sister just because of one mistake?" Yun Xia knocked on Xing Yun's head, threw out her chest, and said, "This is Formless Peak's unique technique called something something shifting technique. Did you see what happened just now? This is how you should use the technique of Formless Peak. Leng YueYao, that little girl is still too weak."
Xing Yun didn't know if Yun Xia really forgot the name of the technique or she just wanted to avoid copyright issues(TN: skill name can be copyrighted), but he didn't have time to complain about it, because he had a strange feeling in his heart.
He couldn't describe exactly what this strange feeling was, it was like he was haunted in the broad daylight.
——there were countless pairs of eyes looking at him, there were also many people who were stopping by his side or moving past him directly.
But without exception, people who passed by or stopped were all looking at him.
Xing Yun knew that there were "ghosts" in the world of Xianxia, but in broad daylight, there was only one way to explain this range phenomena.
It was that his late Internal Demon was finally here.
After telling Yun Xia his feelings, Yun Xia confirmed his "guess".
In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed again, and Xing Yun appeared a quiet and secluded woodland this time. Then Yun Xia was hopping around him while humming a tune and scattering spirit stones on the ground.
She clearly looked like a girl who had some problem in her head...
"What are you looking at? Eat your Spiritual Concentrating Wood. Meditate and feel tranquility."
Hearing this, Xing Yun immediately filled his mouth with Spiritual Concentrating Wood, but he did not feel the tranquility with the help of the surrounding environment as Yun Xia said, but calmed down and looked directly into those eyes.
In a daze, those hazy feelings gradually became clear. When he saw the master of those eyes, he found that he had returned to the previous world.
The people who used to know him were all looking at him with a strange look, and that look seemed to say that there was a mental patient in front of them.
He lowered his head and looked at himself. In modern society, this ancient costume did seem very strange. In addition to the female costume, it was also very strange for a big man to wear it.
The Internal Demon could be widely understood as an internal demonic barrier, a kind of evil thought, but also a kind of karmic barrier, and a terrible thing that blinds the eyes of the soul.
To put it even simpler, there was nothing wrong with saying it was something that would make Xing Yun feel ashamed and distracted.
So instinctively, Xing Yun chose to escape.
If he didn't let these people see, he would not feel ashamed.
However, after having this thought, he realized that his body could not move at all. Not only was he unable to avoid all the eyes, but it seemed that because of the idea of evasion, it even stimulated the aggressiveness of those eyes.
What was even more frightening was that he gradually heard some whispers in his ears. They were the voices of people mocking and ridiculing his dress.
All of them were using the most vicious words possible, very unpleasant to ears.
In those unbearable whispers, Xing Yun suddenly thought if he was not what he was now, but the appearance of "Xing Yun", what would the result be?
As soon as the thought came out, the whispering sound suddenly disappeared, and his eyes instantly returned to the dense forest scenery.
Subconsciously looking for the trace of Yun Xia, he found the woodland that should have been quiet, was as frightening as the land of Shura at this time.
The lush greenery was stained with a large amount of blood red, and the broken arms and limbs were discarded like garbage all around him. The sea of blood and the mountain of bodies were no longer enough to describe the current scene. Only the word purgatory could describe how terrible it was.
It was said that the path of cultivation was very long, so Xing Yun did not know how much time he had spent in fighting the internal demon, but everything he saw in front of him was enough to tell him that in the time he dealt with the internal demon, earth-shaking changes have taken place around him.
Yun Xia's figure could be found in the sea of blood not far away. At this time, she didn't have the grace and charmingness of the past, let alone the domineering fearless image.
Her figure was a little rickety, and her clothes were stained with blood after a fierce battle.
Her face was extremely pale, and there was a trace of blood that she hadn't had time to wipe off on the corner of her mouth.
The blue sky sword's color had faded away, it now looked like an ordinary sword. And it became the last support that helped Yun Xia to stand.
Chapter 35 this god damn internal demon
How terrifying Yun Xia's combat power was, Xing Yun has never experienced it personally, but it was not difficult to know from the little information he gathered and guesses that even if it was someone who was half a step away from becoming a true immortal, they also couldn't do anything to her.
To be able to make Yun Xia fall into such a miserable status, Xing Yun could imagine how powerful her opponent was.
However, Xing Yun couldn't find her enemy. Yun Xia's vigilance told Xing Yun that the enemy hadn't left, but no matter how Xing Yun searched for it, he couldn't detect a hint of the existence of others.
At this moment, a shadow of a sword fell from the sky and went straight to Yun Xia's head.
It was also at this time that Xing Yun realized that he could not make a sound to warn Yun Xia, and even his spiritual sense was isolated in a magic formation and could not be conveyed to Yun Xia.
Yun Xia should have noticed the magnificent sword aura, but she did nothing.
Just looking up at the sword energy, the corner of her mouth bent in a decisive arc.
At this point, Xing Yun knew that Yun Xia had nearly exhausted all her strength. It was not that she didn't want to do anything, but that she had lost even the ability to dodge.
Despair, anger, unwillingness... all kinds of negative emotions gushed out from the bottom of Xing Yun's heart, and his delicate face was distorted by anger.
He hated himself for being unable to do anything here, and he hated that his Internal Demon came at this time.
In the end, Xing Yun could only watch Yun Xia being hit by that terrifying sword energy, but at the moment before the sword energy reached her body, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Yun Xia.
That person not only smashed the terrifying sword energy with a light wave of his hand, but he also smashed the person who attacked Yun Xia directly into a blood mist.
Xing Yun couldn't hear the voice outside the magic formation, but he could see the comforting smile on the corner of Yun Xia's mouth when the figure appeared.
However, even someone rushing to help was useless.
Because at the moment that smile appeared, a spike made of blood penetrated Yun Xia's abdomen.
Xing Yun didn't know if it was Yun Xia's blood or the blood of the enemy that stabbed her that was splashing into the air, he only felt a mouthful of blood from his throat, and the restraint on his body was instantly broken by the force that gushed out along with the blood.
"Yun Xia——!"
"Eep! This elder sister is here, little girl, did you have a nightmare? "
Suddenly, the miserable scenery of the sea of blood dissipated like a tide, and it was replaced by Yun Xia's busty chest.
"Oh! So you like this? Come here, sister, I will let you bury your face in..."
With a sudden shake of his head, Xing Yun reached out and touched Yun Xia's belly.
Yun Xia was taken aback by Xing Yun's sudden move. Just when she was about to scold Xing Yun, Xing Yun opened his mouth first.
"Fortunately, it is the damn internal demon... fortunately... fortunately..."
After that, Yun Xia not only didn't want to scold Xing Yun's rudeness, but she was also particularly interested in what he had just experienced.
The technique called "One Hundred And Three Thousand Cultivation Method", Yun Xia was also practicing it. But Xing Yun was the only one she knew that could overcome the internal demon in just a few minutes' time.
Yes, that's right, and since there was her in the inner demon of Xing Yun, how would she give up the desire to ask for details?
"Wait." Xing Yun, who hasn't calmed down, knew what Yun Xia wanted to do, and sat down on the ground, raising his hand to stop her from talking, "Let me calm down first, calm down first..."
Generally speaking, Yun Xia was still a hooligan who was still a little bit considerate, otherwise, even the Shang Qing Sect would not be able to tolerate her.
She squatted beside Xing Yun without saying a word, while wiping the sweat from Xing Yun's forehead and neck, while...well, hiding the handkerchief that was soaked with Xing Yun's sweat in her arms like a pervert.
"...I suggest you put it in the interspatial pouch, otherwise you will lose it sooner or later because of your forgetfulness."
"Oh! Little girl, you are so thoughtful. Tell me what you see? Is it this sister, I ran away with someone and don't want you anymore?"
Rolling her eyes at Yun Xia, Xing Yun bounced up from the ground.
"If you ran away with someone, I would not scream-- I would probably beat the gongs, drums, and set off firecrackers to celebrate that you finally found someone..."
"You little bunny, are you looking for a spanking? Looking for a spanking? Looking for a spanking?"
After the backhead was smacked by Yun Xia a few times, Xing Yun's mood completely calmed down.
Standing in front of Yun Xia, in her shocked expression, he grabbed her chests and squeezed two times. After confirming that the touch was real and it was not the internal demon, he held his head and endured the beating while telling Yun Xia why he did that.
Of course, at the same time, he was laughing secretly in his heart that this female hooligan would also blush.
Yun Xia's brows suddenly jumped when she heard that she was facing the sword energy in the sea of blood and mountains of bodies.
After hearing that even with the help of someone else, her lower abdomen was still penetrated by the enemy, the expression on Yun Xia's face suddenly became unnatural.
However, even if she had such a reaction, she still didn't stop beating Xing Yun. So Xing Yun didn't notice her changes.
It wasn't until she adjusted her mentality that she no longer beating Xing Yun.
"Haiya! You little girl, you must have been always wishing for that kind of thing to happen to this elder sister. Have you heard of the thoughts during the day, sceneries during the internal demon?"
"I've heard of thoughts during the day, dreams in the night..."
With a charming smile, Yun Xia twisted Xing Yun's ear.
"Shut your mouth! Did I ask you to speak?"
Probably Yun Xia had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, so she also twisted Xing Yun's other ear as well.
"Internal demon is a bitch that distracts you so you will be killed by the lightning in the thunder tribulation. It is born within one's mind, so we cultivators will try our best to cleanse our hearts and limit our desires..."
"As if. I have never seen anyone who is more selfish and greedy than cultivators. Almost every one of them wants to have all the precious treasures around the world. It would be a wonder if they were not affected by their own selfish desires. Cleansing their hearts and limiting their desires? Give me a break..."
Let loose of her hands, Yun Xia suddenly smiled sweetly as a flower blooming.
"Little girl, remember your current state of mind, cultivators with this kind of mindset often have an immeasurable future."
"That's more like it. You didn't let me shut my mouth..."
Pa!
Don't think too much, this was not the sound caused by a slap, but Yun Xia snapped her fingers.
And the function of this snapping finger was to put a spell on Xing Yun's mouth.
"You think this sister I didn't know how to deal with you?"
Then she began to mess with Xing Yun's hair for another while, and when Xing Yun's head was almost the same as the chicken coop, she finally stopped playing it.
After pulling Xing Yun to the clear mountain spring, her jade hand lifted lightly. The gurgling water floated up following her guidance and turned into a water mist.
"Little girl, sister, I have two things to explain to you first. Do you want to hear the good ones first or the bad ones first? Of course, Sister, I suggest you listen to the bad first. After all, the good things should be eaten last... Hey, do you want to tell me or not? How can I know what you want to hear if you don't tell me? Stop pretending to be a profound silent philosopher..."
Xing Yun swore that this female hooligan was definitely messing with him on purpose.
