The movement caused by the battle between Xing Yun and the evil cultivator was not big, but it was enough to make the cultivators in the area notice it. Tong Qiaoer was one of the cultivators who sensed the fighting auras.
Tong Qiaoer wanted to go to Shang Qing Sect to get help after leading the guest cultivators and servants home. Falling in danger two times continuously made her extremely cautious about the problem in the family. Now she once again detected that Xing Yun was fighting with a powerful cultivator, seeking help from the sect was the best solution.
However, when she was about to go to Shang Qing Sect, she was stopped by her father.
Not only was she stopped, but she was also "prisoned" in her boudoir by her father.
No one had explained to Tong Qiaoer why it became like this, but there was no need for any explanation. The aura of the restraining field that enveloped the entire small courtyard was enough to make Tong Qiaoer guess something.
——Her family really had some connection with the evil cultivators.
No, in fact, it could already be said that the Tong family has joined some demonic cultivation sects.
Tong Qiaoer didn't understand why her family would want to join a demonic cultivation sect, when they already have The Shang Qing Sect, this big sect's support. She wanted to question the elders in the family and her father who was the head of the family, but the current situation did not allow her to do so.
The only thing she could do right now was to pray that nothing would happen to Xing Yun.
Because as long as Xing Yun had any accidents, the Tong family would suffer the devastating retaliation of the Shang Qing Sect.
Not only just for Xing Yun, but also for the face and dignity of the famous sect.
No sect would have no reaction when the mortal family betrayed them.
To be honest, Tong Qiaoer couldn't understand what his father and elders really thought. Not to mention how much Shang Qing Sect had taken care of the Tong family in the past, just this changing of faction made Tong Qiaoer very confused.
The Demonic Realm was extremely far away from the Tong family. To join the Demonic Faction at the risk of offending the Shang Qing Sect and having their family destroyed? What was good about it? Why would those elders make such irrational decisions?
Combined with the experience in the Qing Xu secret realm, Tong Qiaoer had thought that the seemingly peaceful Shang Qing Sect was actually on the verge of falling into chaos, but...
A centipede with hundreds of legs would not topple over even when dead, big sects would still have huge influences even if it had internal problems. Unless Demonic Sects had enough strength to suppress the entire Shang Qing Sect completely, otherwise, using dirty tricks to cause little turbulence, did they really think that they would be able to destroy the Shang Qing Sect? How foolish and arrogant!
One must know that the Shang Qing Sect has stood so long without falling down, there must be something special about it.
The more Tong Qiaoer thought about it, the more strange she felt. So she decided to find a way to escape from this restraining field to get some more information.
While Tong Qiaoer was wondering how to escape, the injured Xing Yun finally found a place where he could temporarily recover from his injuries. As the saying goes, the best hiding place was in the open. The place he chose was naturally a lively and relatively familiar place- The inn where Tong Qiaoer and he once lived.
When Xing Yun came here, he was dressed in the same outfit he had worn when he arrived last time. The white dress was fluttering with the veil covered his face. The owner recognized him at a glance.
"This chivalrous miss..."
"Don't worry about that bandit village, do you still have any rooms?"
The tone of Xing Yun was a bit cold. Normally, even if he had a bit of a vengeful attribute, he wouldn't be like that, but now because of the injury, he was not in the good mood.
"That village has been completely destroyed. Do you still have any rooms."
The owner was stupefied when he heard the previous sentence, his reaction displeased Xing Yun, so Xing Yun asked again impatiently.
The owner who finally reacted did not dare to neglect the little girl who seemed to be a fairy and even behaved a little bit obsequiously.
"Yes, yes, yes, does the chivalrous miss want to live in the previous room, or choose another one?" The owner had no doubts about the authenticity of the words the little girl said. She was someone who could easily subdue the bandits who had practiced martial arts, there was no need for her to use such words to deceive him. Besides, fairies all had their own pride, they would not lie easily; lying to mortals would be even more pointless, "all the rooms are very clean, if you..."
"Here."
An ingot was thrown toward him, and Xing Yun took the key to the door from the owner by himself.
This golden ingot further confirmed the owner's guess that she was not short of money, and there was no benefit for her to lie about killing the bandits.
Respectfully followed Xing Yun to the second floor, he didn't say anything. But before Xing Yun entered the room, he told Xing Yun that if he needed anything the inn would try their best to satisfy him.
This sentence was actually useless to a fairy. Xing Yun needed to heal his injuries now. What he needed were the thousand-year-old medicinal herbs. How was a mortal inn owner able to get those things?
But who do you think Xing Yun is? He was the only disciple of the Glaucoma Sage, the perfect successor trained by the hooligan fairy.
Even if he was not born with a venomous tongue, after staying with the hooligan fairy for this long, he also became one who had a venomous tongue.
"Can you get any medicinal herbs that are thousand-year-old?"
"This……"
At that time, the owner had a look of embarrassment.
He hadn't even heard of any medicinal herbs that could live that long, let alone get it.
"Huh, go and boil a bucket of hot water."
"Okay, I will tell the staff to boil water."
Then he ran to arrange the people in the store with relief, and Xing Yun closed the door and sighed.
He set up a simple restraining field that was used for warning, then he came to the bed and started to meditate and used his True Vital Energy to nourish the veins that had been destroyed.
Theoretically speaking, he should be feeling proud that he was able to kill a cultivator that was two levels higher than him. But Xing Yun wasn't happy.
Because it consumed a Scorching Sun Golden Crow's tail feather.
He originally thought that turning the tail feather into a long sword would consume too much of it, at least, he would still be able to use it for a while.
But who knows that the one-time setting for this thing was so strict. As long as it was used, no matter how he used it, it was considered consumption.
Thinking that the life-saving treasure that could directly kill a Nascent Soul cultivator was wasted on a Golden Core Cultivator, Xing Yun's heart was in pain.
God Damn it! He shouldn't have gotten help much earlier!
Of course, regret was useless at this moment. So even if Xing Yun's heart was in pain, he had to accept the fact.
After collecting himself, Xing Yun temporarily stopped his recovery and opened the door.
The owner and the staff brought in a huge bucket full of hot water. There was an iron trough for charcoal fire under the bucket. It was not surprising that the owner could guess that he wanted hot water to take a shower. But Xing Yun was slightly concerned after seeing the strange faces that he had inadvertently glimpsed after opening the door.
Leaving the owner in the room, Xing Yun asked softly.
"Just now, did someone ask you about the celestial herbs?"
Chapter 17 Marriage
Saying it was unacquainted, but actually, it was also a little familiar to Xing Yun, especially the special features that strangers thought were well-hidden - the style and color of their clothes wrapped in their coats were all uniform, and Xing Yun has also seen this style before.
The servants of the Tong family.
"Are you sure you haven't talked about me asking about medicinal herbs to outsiders?"
After the boss patted his chest and promised Xing Yun asked in a deep voice.
"Why would I mention it to other people? Besides, I would never dare to lie to the chivalrous miss... I mean fairy! Stupid mouth..." The owner slapped himself pretentiously and then continued to say in a sincere but anxious tone, "But earlier today, someone came to ask if there are strangers living in. I didn't dare to talk nonsense, so I just told them no. Even if there is, I would not be able to remember everyone who lives in our inn. After all, there are so many people coming and going, how would I be able to remember them all."
The owner’s various physical reactions proved that he was not lying.
In fact, even if the owner lied, Xing Yun could also speculate that the Tong family and current royal court would send people to look for him.
Regardless of where he hid, as long as it was a place where he might go, there would definitely be someone asking information about him.
However, ruling out the possibility that the owner leaked his information, Xing Yun also had one less target to take revenge against after the matter was over.
"Mhm, you can leave now. You should understand what to do."
Xing Yun's tone was neither sad nor joyful, so that the owner couldn't completely guess the state of mind of the fairy in front of him.
After he quickly left Xing Yun's room and closed the door, he wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
Dealing with celestial beings was really not so easy.
Xing Yun wasn't very anxious about the people coming here to ask for information about him, because it didn't matter whether he was anxious or not, the most important thing right now was to be able to restore some strength, at least this would provide some security in terms of safety.
In the cultivators' world, many things were decided by one's power. This kind of rule, which was akin to the law of the jungle, was as clear as a mirror in Xing Yun's heart.
Looking at the bucket of hot water in front of him, Xing Yun suddenly thought that in the novels he had read before, no cultivators who had proper names in novels had been in such dire straits.
They either had their own self-cleaning robes, or they were always elegant and spotless.
Looking at how dirty he looked after a fight. What he thought about the most at the moment was that once he got back to the sect, he must ask for a full-body suit with a cleansing function. Even if it meant that he had to exchange it with his dignity.
At this time, the extravagant behavior of taking a bath should be avoided. Wiping away the stains on the body, Xing Yun once again returned to meditation.
Most of the time, Xing Yun particularly hated the red undershirt that Yun Xia forced him to wear, but at this moment, he was really grateful to the hooligan fairy for his foresighted preparation.
Most of the power of the palm strike that he had received was absorbed by that undershirt, and even the rushing True Vital Energy was inevitably weakened by it.
Xing Yun didn't know what grade of spirit treasure this undershirt was, but judging from its performance, it may be the most valuable thing on his body.
……
Damn it, why do I feel more uncomfortable the more I think about it?
Being spoiled by Yun Xia, Xing Yun often consumed heavenly materials like snacks. Therefore, his physique could be said to be terrifyingly good. A specific example would be eating one piece of his flesh could prolong one's life for more than ten years.
If he continued to develop like this in the next several decades, it would not be a problem to say that he was the reincarnation of Gold Cicada(1. Journey to the west, Body made of the elixir of life)
Also, due to the peculiarities of the One Hundred And Three Thousand Cultivation Method, combined with his perfect physique, his vein injury did not need to be slowly nourished and then restored with the True Vital Energy as other people do. He just needed to endure the pain and reopen the clogged veins.
When the veins were almost unblocked, Xing Yun also dispelled the hidden diseases on his body because of this simple and crude but very effective self-treatment method.
The next few minor adjustments took him three or four days. During the adjustment period, Xing Yun didn't just stay in this room all the time, but from time to time, he went out and walked like a normal customer. It was not only for investigating the situation, but also covering up the truth that he was trying to recover.
After several days of investigation, Xing Yun got a lot of useful news.
For example, it was rumored in the palace that the emperor suddenly became bedridden with a serious illness on the day of the palace maid election, and all the Imperial Physician were not able to cure him.
For another example, it was rumored that the selected maid was actually an assassin sent by other kingdoms. The emperor was not ill, but was assassinated.
For another example, the Tong family has agreed to the marriage contract of a cultivation sect called The Vast Sword Mountain Whether the marriage contract was for the Shang Qing sect's disciple was not yet known.
There were some other rumors that could be used to infer the direction of certain things. To summarize, Xing Yun decided to temporarily return to the inn where he was staying temporarily, instead of going to the Tong family to find out the detailed information.
The Tong family had sent out people from the very beginning, and later Xing Yun confirmed that these people were indeed looking for him. One must remain vigilant at all times, so as not to be harmed by others. Xing Yun would not be so stupid that he had no defense against the Tong family who had joined the demonic faction.
When he returned to the inn not far away, a familiar aura immediately alerted him.
The Golden Crow's tail feather was placed in the most convenient position, and the talismans were also covered with his belly. After making these preparations, Xing Yun slowly stepped into the inn and came to the door of his room.
Pushing open the door, as expected, the familiar aura indeed belonged to Tong Qiaoer.
Seeing Xing Yun's return, Tong Qiaoer greeted him immediately.
"Little Martial Granduncle, I finally found you..."
In fact, it was very simple for the people who were a little familiar with Xing Yun to find him. If he was not wearing a veil, anyone could find him where there were many people. If he was wearing a veil, as long as one used the right keywords such as "flat chest.", "Not taller than a nine years old", "young but a mature tone", etc. when asking about his whereabouts, then people would definitely be able to find him.
Stepping backward a little bit, Tong Qiaoer also stopped.
"Little Martial Granduncle, you..."
If Tong Qiaoer hadn't stopped and continued to rush toward him, Xing Yun might not have doubted her.
He pretended to be cautious and shook his head.
"Recently, I've been trying to avoid being found, and it almost became my instinct. Speaking of it, is the current royal court still continuing to cause trouble to the Tong family? Also, I heard that your family and The Vast Sword Mountain..."
"It's all my father's fault!" Hearing Xing Yun talked about this, Tong Qiaoer stomped angrily, "Presumably Little Martial Granduncle has already known that the current royal family has connections with demonic cultivation sects. Our family has always been very close to the royal family, so naturally, it is inevitable that our family will also have some connections to the demonic cultivation sects. My father wants to get help from another renowned sect when things are exposed. He thinks that in that way, at least, the Shang Qing sect will go easy on the Tong family."
Xing Yun was a high-level member of the Shang Qing Sect. We could disregard the fact that he was just a nominal elder first, anyway, in the eyes of Tong Qiaoer, as long as she told Xing Yun those truths earlier, she should be able to regain some trust.
For the time being, Xing Yun was just listening. After all, what she knew might not be the whole truth.
"So, you agreed to this marriage?"
What surprised Xing Yun was that Tong Qiaoer didn't feel any dissatisfaction with this, but rather expressed a little relief.
Chapter 18 The name of this fellow disciple was a little bit jarring
"I must verbally agree, otherwise I might still be grounded at home."
From the reply of Tong Qiaoer, Xing Yun also had a preliminary impression of the head of the Tong Family.
Very calculating, but also stupid and pathetic.
Wasn't that obvious?
If they wanted to be a fence-sitter, then they should do it properly. Now that they were desperately seeking help from one side; not to mention they were able to survive it not, even if they were able to survive it, they would not be able to keep their roots intact.
In Xing Yun's heart, he stuck a dispensable label to this Tong family. Then Xing Yun asked Tong Qiaoer's intentions of coming to the inn.
Tong Qiaoer's reply was still unambiguous, and explained all her plans without concealing anything.
"After I gave the order to the servants to search for you secretly, I went back to Shang Qing Sect for help. It happened that on the way, I met the deputy peak leader of Clasping The Moon Peak. After reporting the matter to him, he went to Qiaoer's family with a group of disciples. At the moment, that senior should be in...."
"An eye finds more truth than two ears. Junior Sister Xing Yun really has the potential to become a devastatingly beautiful lady."
An abrupt and clear voice came from outside the door.
It could be clearly noticed that at the same time this sound appeared, a barrier was placed around it to isolate the perception of outsiders.
As the voice fell, the closed door slowly opened, and a handsome middle-aged man with a feather fan in his hand walked in at a leisurely pace.
That person had the aura of a master from a wealthy family, but it was no longer a young master. In addition, although he did not have any female admirers around him, he could still give Xing Yun a natural feeling that some arrogant master had arrived.
To put it simply, it was a feeling that made one want to punch him in the face.
This feeling radiated from his bones, combined with the setting and tradition of the Shang Qing Sect, this person who could the aura of a young master so well should be the deputy peak leader mentioned by Tong Qiaoer just now.
"As expected of the closed-door disciple appointed personally by the Supreme Elder, you are able to conceal your immortal aura so well."
Seeing a beautiful girl, it was the tradition of Clasping The Moon Peak to praise the girl first. As the deputy peak leader of the Clasping The Moon Peak, Shao Shi Jun Yi, naturally also carried out this unshakeable tradition.
"Little Junior Sister, it's the first time you and I meet each other. I am the deputy peak leader of Clasping The Moon Peak and Shao Shi Jun Yi. You can call me by my name directly or call me senior brother."
"Greetings, Senior Brother Shao Shi."
Although Xing Yun greeted him, he didn't perform a fist-and-palm salute.
Strictly speaking, those who were truly of the same generation as Xing Yun would be named by the Supreme Elders. For example, if he were truly of the same generation as Xing Yun, his name should begin with Xing.
Since the person in front of him has not given a name, then it would be considered disrespectful for this person to ask Xing Yun to call him senior brother.
However, Xing Yun has never cared about such trivial things, calling the person senior brother wouldn't kill him.
Just look at Fairy Yun Xia. Even until now, she was still forcing others to call her elder sister Yun Xia and claiming to be forever 17 years old.
"May I ask if the senior brother is planning to take over the matter here?"
After Xing Yun greeted, he went straight to the main subject. His straightforwardness really surprised Shao Shi Jun Yi.
"I just heard that Junior Sister was in trouble that was difficult to deal with and came to help, that's all...".
"Oh, senior brother, if you plan to take over, Xing Yun will be very grateful."
Even if he was someone who valued poise and calmness the most, seeing Xing Yun simply handed such a big thing over to him, Shao Shi Jun Yi still showed a dazed expression.
"Junior sister, this...isn't appropriate, right..."
"There is nothing inappropriate about it, I can't defeat them, and I am not as shrewd as the senior brother, so it's better to leave this matter to the senior brother."
Xing Yun spread out his hands as if saying that he had no intention of staying. At the same time, he calmly moved in the direction of the escaping path.
If there was an abnormality, one must keep their guard up. There were already many spies infiltrated into the sect. At this critical moment, some fellow disciples just happened to appear here? This had forced Xing Yun to temporarily list Shao Shi Jun Yi as a dangerous person.
"As the saying goes, a gentleman should fruitful a lady's wish. Since the junior sister believes that I can do this well, then this senior brother should not let the junior sister down."
Putting away the feather fan, Shao Shi Jun Yi removed the isolation restriction he had just placed around.
"But there is one more thing. This senior brother hopes that the junior sister can forgive me first."
"I knew you didn't have good intentions!"
As soon as the isolation restriction was lifted, Xing Yun activated the divine movement talisman and suddenly turned into a stream of light and rushed out.
The successive anomalies made Xing Yun prepare in advance, but Shao Shi Jun Yi used the method of stopping him to tell him that even if he was also a Golden Core Cultivator, his strength was not something that other golden core cultivators could compare with.
"Senior sister is so anxious to leave, it really disappoints this Senior Brother."
"I have no choice," After hitting the barrier of the restraining field, Xing Yun patted his dizzy head. "This junior sister urgently needs to pee. Doesn't the senior brother want to observe it?"
"Junior Sister must be joking, even if I want to treat you as a Human Cauldron, it will still take some time to nurture you."
Raising his brows, a smile suddenly appeared on Xing Yun's face.
"So, Senior Brother Shao Shi, are you admitting that you have betrayed the sect and joined the Blood Sea Gate?"
"Junior Sister, this joke is not funny." he didn't take out his feather fan again. When he spoke, it was replaced by a blood-red mist. "I am originally a disciple of Blood Sea Gate, I never truly joined the Shang Qing Sect."
"Then I don't understand, how can you reveal your true identity so easily."
Xing Yun really didn't understand it. If the villains were all this honest, then how honest would someone be to make them a righteous person?
Shao Shi Jun Yi didn't let Xing Yun wait for too long. It might be because the mission had been completed and he didn't need to continue to cover up, or it might be because he had enough strength, so he was confident that even if he told Xing Yun, nothing would happen.
After all, Xing Yun would be taken away by him anyway.
"Most of the secular families of the Shang Qing Sect have been divided. There is no need to stay in that place with many rules and continue to take risks. Junior sister is a smart person. You should be able to understand what I said."
Xing Yun nodded. For the Shang Qing Sect itself, Fairy Yun Xia was a bomb that could explode at any time, let alone outsiders.
With a hearty smile, Shao Shi Jun Yi continued.
"Similarly, Junior Sister, your constitution is more suitable for practicing the cultivation method of the Blood Sea Gate. It is better for you to switch to the Blood Sea Gate. I believe that your future will be much better in the Blood Sea Gate than in the Shang Qing Sect."
It was actually very common to throw an olive branch to young cultivators who had potential. If you look at modern society, there were also headhunters who go to other companies to recruit people.
But before responding, Xing Yun still had a question to ask.
"I think some punk just said that he would turn me into a Human Cauldron? Did I hear it wrong?"
Chapter 19 So you are a spy
Unlike his fellow disciple who was stabbed to death, the impact of Xing Yun's venous tongue on Shao Shi Jun Yi was very small, it could even be said to be none.
The exposure of the inconsistent attitude only embarrassed him for a moment, and soon he returned to his usual elegant demeanor of a master who came from a wealthy family.
"It's Jun Yi's fault, but the things that Junior Sister is worried about are not unreasonable." The boundless sea of blood has completely enveloped the entire area, "our path of cultivation is all about following the heart's desire. Some unruly cultivators would indeed do things that are unfavorable to the junior sister because of their own desires, such as the thing I just said."
"Oh?"
Xing Yun responded with a slight surprise.
Of course, what he was surprised was not Shao Shi Jun Yi's description of demonic cultivators, but how he called demonic cultivators.
It seemed that the cultivators here really valued their own face, unlike in some settings, who were willing to call themselves demonic cultivators.
Well, it didn't rule out that Shao Shi Jun Yi was an unique case.
"But with this, junior sister can rest assured." suddenly a simple and delicate red token appeared in his hand, and Shao Shi Jun Yi's tone was a little more proud.
After squinting his eyes, Xing Yun nodded seriously.
"A stupid looking red token."
“……”
It was estimated that if it weren't for Shao Shi Jun Yi's great cultivation foundation, Xing Yun's response would've probably made him fall from the sky.
"This is the token of the Gate Leader of the blood sea gate. With this token, you can..."
"I see, it is like waving a chicken feather as a token of authority right?"
Speaking of chicken feathers, Xing Yun also had them, and he had five left!
The words of Xing Yun made it difficult for Shao Shi Jun Yi not to remember the image of Yun Xia that hooligan fairy.
Not only did he remember her, but he also subconsciously slowly overlapped the appearance of these two.
For a few moments, Shao Shi Jun Yi even thought that Xing Yun was actually just a fleshy puppet, and it was Fairy Yun Xia herself who was actually controlling this puppet from behind.
However, after repeated Spiritual Sense investigations, it was confirmed that there were no other people controlling Xing Yun, did Shao Shi Jun Yi finally let go of that thought.
It was understandable why he was so careful, Fairy Yun Xia was not someone he could defeat.
"Anyway, Junior Sister, you..."
"After talking so much, who doesn't offer some benefits first when they want others to surrender? At least you have to make an oath or give a promise or something. Otherwise, who would want to go with you?"
Xing Yun's cleverness had already been spread through the sect after the Qing Xu Secret Realm was closed. So Shao Shi Jun Yi naturally knew about it as well.
Hearing what Xing Yun said, he naturally became alert.
"Then... what do you want, Junior Sister?"
"If I ask for your life, the discussion surely will not be able to be continued, then I will take a step back. How about you die."
As soon as the voice fell, the Heavenly Retribution Thunder Talisman that he had held in his hand long ago was activated by him.
This one had the highest level of damage among the talismans that the flat-chested martial uncle gave him. With just one of it, it could severely wound a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
However, Shao Shi Jun Yi had already reached the Great Perfection of the golden core stage. If he could obtain a slight breakthrough opportunity, he could usher in the heavenly tribulation, and then break the core to become a Nascent Soul.
The Golden Core Great Perfection master was naturally different from the evil cultivators who have just stepped into the Golden Core Realm. Simply standing there not moving, he withstood the Divine Thunder strikes without needing a protection.
Divine Thunder had struck him, but it could not even shake his clothes.
Xing Yun did not expect this level of attack to be effective. It was like stabbing an iron sheet with a plastic fork. For cakes, plastic forks were very powerful and sharp, but for the iron sheet...
However, Xing Yun had other plans.
What he wanted was the explosive effect that could dazzle the eyes. Shao Shi Jun Yi, who had a higher cultivation base, did not release his spiritual sense to lock on Xing Yun. Xing Yun seized this opportunity and intended to find a way to escape.
In fact, Shao Shi Jun Yi was indeed dazzled by it. Not only was he dazzled by it, but he also couldn't recover for a long time.
However, the Divine Blood Mist had already taken shape. Xing Yun could not escape now even if he could fly. Unless he used a Golden Crow's tail feather again.
However, at this moment, a beam of light shot rapidly from a distance.
The fierce sword energy instantly tore a gap in the small world formed by the Divine Blood Mist, and the light beam rushed straight towards Shao Shi Jun Yi who had just recovered.
It was too late to dodge at this moment, but Shao Shi Jun Yi never thought of avoiding this light beam.
As he took out the feather fan and swung it lightly, the sword light suddenly dissipated, turning into little sparkling light dots.
"Oh? Interesting."
Xing Yun was not confused by the words of unknown meaning.
Because after he said this sentence, Xing Yun heard someone from far away yelling his name.
Well, there was also the foul language to curse Shao Shi Jun Yi.
"The bastard of Clasping The Moon Peak, what do you want to do to my future Dao Companion!"
Xing Yun: "..."
Xing Yun was very grateful that someone came to rescue in times of crisis. After all, he could save a precious chicken feather now. But to be honest, he was not happy after hearing this sentence.
Think about it from the perspective of Xing Yun. A girl who was basically certain to be a masochist and slightly mental called you "fiancee". What would you think?
If you don't mind it, then Xing Yun suggested that you dress up as a woman first.
Maybe the girl Jian Xing would be interested in you.
That's right, the person who came to rescue him was Jian Xing. Besides her, there was Xing Ya, and... what was the name of the expressionless disciple who looked like she suffered from facial paralysis again?
"Junior sister, are you okay? Where did this old man hurt you? If I don’t beat him to death. Ah, I have very good medicine for healing, you should take it first. Before going out, The fifth Martial Uncle said that as long as you take this medicine, you will..."
"Little Martial Uncle, that is your Fasting Aid Pill."
The expressionless girl reminded her on the side.
Realizing that she had made a mistake again, Xing Ya's face suddenly blushed.
She took back the Fasting Aid Ball that had a small chunk missing, took out a small bag again, and handed it to Xing Yun.
"Here, this is it, this time it's correct! By the way, Junior Sister, you seem to have become beautiful, huh? You have reached the Foundation Establishment! Wow, this cultivation speed is so fast... By the way, the Seventh Martial Uncle said..."
"Martial Uncle asked you not to complain about why he gave you a bag of medicine instead of a pill."
Two people's words made Xing Yun speechless.
However, the person who was even more speechless was Jian Xing.
Clearly, they had said that they would fight this old tortoise egg who betrayed the Shang Qing Sect, but at the moment, only she was fighting him alone!
Did they all forget that! ？
Chapter 20 Damn, there are so many spies
Although Jian Xing was complaining in her heart, her movement didn't slow down any.
When powerful masters fight, every microsecond counts. As long as there was a little carelessness, then the consequence would be devastating.
The attack of the long sword in her hand was quite fierce, and all her moves were aimed at the vital part of Shao Shi Jun Yi, while her fated flying sword has been hovering around. As long as there was a chance to attack, it would immediately strike like lightning.
This type of impressive, yet familiar battle scene made Xing Yun unconsciously ignore Xing Ya's nagging.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this kind of combat scene before.
Seeing that Xing Yun became interested in this, Xing Ya also sent out her own fated flying sword.
The transparent little sword hovered around Xing Ya like a bird; it uttered a truly crisp sound of the sword, as if responding to the owner's summoning, and it seemed to be cheering that it was about to step onto the battlefield.
"Is Junior Sister really interested in Sword Cultivation? Then after we go back, you can ask Seventh Martial Uncle to teach you. My master said that she is very talented and intelligent. If she had embarked on the path of sword cultivation, she would've already surpassed Grand Martial Uncle."
Xing Yun didn't know whether the hooligan fairy was talented and intelligent or not, but thinking about the scene of him rushing to kill people with a kitchen knife...
Xing Yun felt that it would be better to find the Tsundere Old Twelfth to learn sword cultivation.
At least Old Twelfth is...
Wait, Old Twelfth... is a body cultivator, right?
Signaling the expressionless disciple to stay beside Xing Yun to protect him, Xing Ya stirred her True Vital Energy and joined the battle.
Although Xing Ya usually looked very dumb, when she encountered a serious battle, the feeling she gave out was completely different.
Unlike Jian Xing’s fierceness, her sword was a bit more ethereal and misty. It could be said that they were two styles that were completely opposite to each other. But when the two fought together, they were in subtle harmony. It was as if the swords of the two were naturally matched.
"This is the cultivation path of Martial Uncle Xing Ya, she is born to complement other people."
The explanation of expressionless disciples may not be simple enough to understand, but Xing Yun could understand it at a glance.
——Xing Ya was a top-notch support, and she could support anyone.
In fact, in the impression of Xing Yun, sword cultivators were always alone. After all, the path of sword cultivation was lonely and boring. If it continued like that, it would easily make a sword cultivator become autistic.
The attitude of "don't disturb me and my sword" could easily be misunderstood in the eyes of others as "sword cultivators are so arrogant, no wonder they don't have friends."
So when two sword cultivators could actually work together and unleashed a series of combos, it gave Xing Yun a familiar feeling.
Yes, a familiar feeling.
And this time, he finally remembered what it was. It was some Ancient Tomb Sect's Jade Maiden Swordplay.
Although he always felt that something was weird.
"Martial Uncle Xing Yun, Shao Shi Jun Yi is currently restrained by them, you can leave first."
The battle between the masters of the Golden Core Realm was not something he could participate in as a cultivator in the foundation establishment stage. It was like a fully armed person with a gun and live ammunition standing in front of an ordinary armless person.
Xing Yun naturally understood that he had become other people's burden. So he turned around and left without any hesitations.
This performance surprised the expressionless girl, but what she felt more was still the disappointment.
After all, Xing Yun was still a naive child who didn't know many things.
Shao Shi Jun Yi sharply noticed that Xing Yun wanted to run away. While facing the two people's pincer attack, he cast out the Divine Blood Mist again.
"Want to run? Don’t even think about leaving today!"
After all, it was a cultivator of peak leader level, even if they were both in the Golden Core Realm and were working together, Xing Ya and Jian Xing still couldn't completely restrict Shao Shi Jun Yi from attacking Xing Yun.
At this time, the expressionless girl finally took action.
She hugged Xing Yun directly and came out of the attack range like teleporting just before the Divine Blood Mist arrived.
The way Xing Yun was carried like a princess in the arms of the expressionless girl made his whole body uncomfortable. Just when he was about to say something, the expressionless girl took the initiative to put him down and "teleported" it back into blood mist again.
The slight ripple on the barrier told Xing Yun that she was not teleporting, but this speed alone was enough to make Xing Yun...well, she began to massage her neck.
"If there is a chance, I should really teach this girl how to carry other people while running... my neck was almost broken..."
Although Xing Yun complained, he didn't slow down.
But he was not running away, but looking for opportunities to assist them.
Yes, remember what Tong Qiaoer said? Shao Shi Jun Yi came out with disciples, and those people were surrounding Xing Yun at this moment, intending to prevent him from breaking out and get help from the Shang Qing sect.
Not only that, from far away, Xing Yun could see patches of red spreading in the distant sky. It was not the afterglow of the setting sun, but the effect of magic.
The brilliance of the magic should be the reinforcements of the Blood Sea Gate. After the expressionless girl joined the fight, three people would not fall into the disadvantage in a short time; but after a long time, even if the three could still continue to persist, then they would not be able to leave this place easily.
The injuries caused by the previous fight against the evil cultivator still affected Xing Yun slightly, but for spies in front of him, their current combat power was enough.
"Little Martial Granduncle, it is time to surrender, even if you..."
Puff.
With a muffled sound, the disciple who opened his mouth softly fell to the ground in the Shang Qing sect's robe.
Unkownling, a terrifying big hole had appeared in his abdomen; gurgling blood flowed out of the hole, spreading over the ground around him.
"It's, it's her! The person in the Qing Xu Secret Realm... it's her! "
The person who shouted this must be a person who had survived the last trip to the Secret Realm. As soon as the voice fell, Xing Yun suddenly appeared in front of him with his sword.
Then the sword came out, and blood splattered.
"You still have time to kneel down and admit your mistakes."
Xing Yun's voice was very cold, so cold that everyone who heard the words felt cold in their hearts like falling into an ice cave.
"Do not be afraid! She is just one person."
"Yes, don't forget the promise that the deputy peak leader gave us!"
"Yes! Let's fight together!"
……
Such self-deceptive words came and went one after another, and Xing Yun seemed to remember similar lines that he had just heard a while ago.
"You know, the person who said these things last time has said goodbye to the world."
Flashing past the stabbing sword, the smile that emerged from the corner of Xing Yun's mouth was unspeakably seductive.
"Since this is your decision, then let me send you to hell."
Killing people was not something that Xing Yun wanted, but in this world, if he was not cruel, he would die.
The long sword was waved in the air forming a beautiful flower shape, and this sword flower also caused all the people who attacked to bloom with dazzling blood-colored flowers.
In just a few breaths of time, Xing Yun sent the traitors into the underworld, but when he was about to leave, a voice slammed toward him like a clap of rolling thunder.
Accompanied by this shout, the shock that would make people lose the ability to stand still came one after another.

”If he was wearing a veil, as long as one used the right keywords such as "flat chest.", "Not taller than a nine years old", "young but a mature tone", etc. when asking about his whereabouts, then people would definitely be able to find him” He’s only as tall as a 5 year old. This was established when he, after taking the cleansing pill and spending 3 years in cultivation, actually became smaller than when he was 6 years old and tried out the clothes meant for 5 years old kids. He’s still 9 years old and nothing has changed, clearly he’s still the same shape and height as before. The author really has no track of past facts and while this novel is fairly enjoyable to read, it’s also messy, all over the place and at times the mistakes are not only glaring but also stupid. I never like when authors fail at the very basic and easy task of keeping track of their own statements. It’s not harder than writing important plot points down and referencing them.
