Chapter 9: Sect Competition (Part 3) The next scene made her very...
Chi Wanyin subconsciously leaned on her back. Seeing that her expression was no longer as calm as before, she followed her instructions and tried her best to protect her meridians.
At this time, the illusion had not been broken yet, and Song Qingtang carried her to the clinic in the city. Today was the Flower God Festival, and everyone went to watch the fun, so the clinic was deserted.
However, Song Qingtang only said to the dozing clerk in the clinic, "Please lend me a room. My sister is not feeling well."
Chi Wanyin leaned on her back, the blood on her forehead and the corners of her lips had been wiped off, and she indeed looked extremely weak.
The waiter saw her clothes and thought she must be a young lady from a wealthy family, so he pointed the way and said, "The third room is on the left."
"Thank you." Song Qingtang nodded in thanks and placed a silver ingot on the counter as a thank you gift for letting her borrow the room.
Ignoring the astonished look of the servant behind her, Song Qingtang carried Chi Wanyin to the room. After making sure that no one would disturb them at this time, she raised her hand and cast a barrier.
Then, she placed the person on the couch and took out the pill that Liu Qianhe had given her before, the Rejuvenating Pill. This pill was not easy to refine, and even Liu Qianhe only got a few of them, one of which he gave to her.
After feeding the pill to Chi Wanyin, she opened her eyes and looked at the cultivator who was her sister in the illusion. After a moment, she said, "Senior Sister."
Song Qingtang's heart was shocked. The effect of the Rejuvenating Pill was very good. Her injuries and meridians were slowly repairing and healing. She lowered her head and looked at the person lying on the couch, "You know?"
"How could I not be able to tell the difference between the medicines made by Senior Sister Liu?" Chi Wanyin chuckled.
Song Qingtang frowned and reached out his hand to check for any unhealed injuries. "Don't risk your life like this in the future. The moment you met that demon cultivator, you should have communicated with me."
Chi Wanyin nodded and said, "I won't do that next time." In fact, she had deliberately killed Xu Anzhi's puppet because she didn't want her to test her again and again. If the puppet was damaged, especially dead, it would also be harmful to the original body. Xu Anzhi would probably have to recuperate for some time.
Seeing his junior sister's expression, Song Qingtang knew that she probably didn't listen to what he said.
Song Qingtang sighed helplessly, "Senior Sister didn't mean to hide it from you, but Master has ordered that you must not reveal your identity in the illusion."
Chi Wanyin didn't show any blame on her face. "Yes, I won't blame Senior Sister. She naturally has her own reasons and reasons for doing things."
Song Qingtang had finished her investigation and ruffled her hair as usual, "I met Yin Xuechan."
Chi Wanyin's face turned cold instantly. It seemed that Yin Xuechan's lie to her that she didn't know about Xu Anzhi was false. It must be Xu Anzhi who asked her to hold Song Qingtang back.
But she quickly softened her expression, "Yin Xuechan is definitely no match for Senior Sister. I'm afraid she just wants to hold you back."
Song Qingtang nodded, confirming that what she said was correct. "I'm afraid the person who asked Yin Xuechan to hold me back is the same person who injured you. However, I see that the puppet still has demonic energy. It's surprising that a demon cultivator would act so ostentatiously."
Chi Wanyin smiled bitterly in her heart when she heard this. The reason why Xu Anzhi was so confident was that she felt that no one could find her. At this moment, she did not have enough strength, so she could only practice first.
Song Qingtang thought the effect of the Rejuvenating Pill should have been absorbed, so he asked his junior sister, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
Chi Wanyin shook her head. The pills refined by Liu Qianhe were very effective, but the most urgent task now was to leave this illusion.
Chi Wanyin paused for a moment before replying to her senior sister, "Senior sister, is there any way to break the illusion?"
Song Qingtang shook his head and laughed, "Junior sister, the illusion created by the mirage shell is not so easy to break. Moreover, the mission of this sect competition is to eliminate the demons in the illusion. If we can eliminate all the nightmare beasts, the illusion will dissipate on its own."
Chi Wanyin keenly grasped the information from Song Qingtang's words, "In other words, the Nightmare Beasts destroyed will be counted towards the score of this competition?"
Song Qingtang nodded, "That's right, but to prevent everyone from fighting over it, the scores can only be checked by the elders outside the Mirage."
Chi Wanyin frowned. Creatures like Nightmare Beasts would not suddenly appear in a mortal city. There must be a source of their birth in this city.
Chi Wanyin was still lost in thought when Song Qingtang tucked the quilt in for her. "Junior sister, you should rest first. I'll go investigate the matter of the Nightmare Beast."
It seemed that Senior Sister really treated her like a child, but Chi Wanyin didn't show it on her face. She just said, "Senior Sister told me not to act like this again, but I think she wants to abandon me."
Song Qingtang had always seen her as obedient and sensible. When had she ever acted like this? He was startled, then quickly explained, "Your meridians still need to be nurtured. Don't worry, Senior Sister will be back tomorrow morning."
Chi Wanyin then returned to her obedient appearance, "Okay, then I'll wait here for Senior Sister."
When she confirmed that Song Qingtang had left the clinic, she got out of bed and jumped out of the window.
There were just as many nightmare beasts in the city as there were in the Ye Mansion, and in Chi Wanyin's opinion, their intelligence seemed to be much higher than those in the Ye Mansion. At least at this moment, they knew to attack her in groups of two or three.
This had never happened before, which made Chi Wanyin certain that the mother body that controlled them was somewhere in this city.
Chi Wanyin took out a compass that could detect demonic energy from her storage bag. The needle on the compass guided her until she stopped in front of a brothel that was still lit even at night. The compass stopped moving completely.
The plaque hanging in front of the door has the three big words "Mingyue Tower" written on it. Even if you stand outside the building, you can hear the sounds of stringed instruments and playfulness coming from inside.
Of course, Chi Wanyin would not go through the main door. She just climbed up to one of the rooms in the two-story building. There was no guest in this room, which made Chi Wanyin feel relieved. After all, if she saw a mortal, she would have to knock the person unconscious, which would be troublesome.
The mother of the Nightmare Beast might be hiding in this building. Although the building is not high, it has quite a few rooms. Chi Wanyin naturally would not explore each room one by one. After sneaking into Mingyue Tower, she specifically looked for secluded places. If she wanted to hide from others, hiding in a secluded place in the most bustling brothel would be the most appropriate choice.
After searching for a while, Chi Wanyin really found something unusual. It was a woodshed, which looked no different from ordinary ones, but when she put her hand on one of the grooves, the door of the underground dark room opened towards her.
Without any hesitation, Chi Wanyin jumped down with the peach wood sword on her back. Then, she took out the night pearl from her storage bag to illuminate the underground of Mingyue Tower.
It was a huge dark room without any lighting. However, the patrolling Nightmare Beasts and their unhatched eggs emitted a faint purple light, which was the light they were born with.
In the center, guarding and surrounding the beast, was a rather humanoid nightmare beast. Beneath its skin glowing purple-blue light, it had a body resembling that of a human female. However, the difference was that a pair of transparent wings as thin as cicada wings had grown on the back of the nightmare beast's body.
Chi Wanyin clenched the peach wood sword in her hand. The reason why she was able to sneak in here was because she hid her breath, but she only had one chance to assassinate the mother body.
If the attack fails, she will be exposed and will be attacked madly by the remaining nightmare beasts. However, Chi Wanyin did not hesitate. The pure spiritual energy she absorbed from Ruomu before came in handy at this moment. The peach wood sword had turned into the shape of a flower branch, but it was not a real weak flower branch, but could cut metal and stone.
She swung the sword with all her might at the mother Nightmare Beast, and the branches of the flowers glowed brightly with green light. The remaining Nightmare Beasts, which were afraid of light, could not help but close their only eye.
The Nightmare Beast mother covered her eyes that were bleeding like pillars. At that moment, Chi Wanyin felt the emotion called rage. Before the other Nightmare Beasts could react, the Nightmare Beast mother flew towards her, strangling her neck with its sharp claws, and then she flapped her wings and threw Chi Wanyin down from the sky.
Chi Wanyin closed her eyes, but the imagined pain did not come as expected.
She fell into a somewhat warm embrace. When she opened her eyes, she saw it was Song Qingtang. Song Qingtang looked down at her and said, "Junior sister." His tone was a little colder than before. It was obvious that he was angry because she ran out without permission.
Song Qingtang placed a pill next to her lips and said, "This medicine is not as effective as the rejuvenation pill. You should meditate here first. I will go and fight the Nightmare Beast mother."
The moment Song Qingtang rushed out, Chi Wanyin clearly saw that her eyelashes were covered with a layer of frost and snow, and there was a hint of white at the end of her hair.
Chi Wanyin had seen Song Qingtang's sword moves before. When he was sparring with his fellow disciples in the martial arts training ground, his sword moves were as gentle as water, which reminded her of the saying "The highest virtue is like water, allowing all things to flow freely."
But now, the Sword of Passing Water, carrying the chill, slashed at the Nightmare Beasts, and in an instant several Nightmare Beasts were frozen into ice sculptures. Song Qingtang stepped lightly over the ice sculptures with his toes, swung his sword, and rushed straight towards the Nightmare Mother.
The Nightmare Mother was obviously a more intelligent life form. When she sensed Song Qingtang's intention to approach, she flapped her wings behind her and took off into the air. That was a move that Chi Wanyin had never seen in ordinary Nightmare Beasts. However, she was still gathering strength at this moment, so the Nightmare Beasts who felt the Nightmare Mother's will rushed towards Song Qingtang one after another, just to buy time for the Nightmare Mother.
But Song Qingtang was obviously faster. She swung a sword at the Nightmare Mother. The sword seemed to contain the wind and snow of thousands of mountains. The temperature around her dropped sharply. The moment the sword light touched the Nightmare Mother, she fell from the air.
Chi Wanyin stared at this scene, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. Sure enough, this was her senior sister - Song Qingtang, the first disciple of the leader of Yantian Sect.
The moment the Nightmare Mother fell, the remaining Nightmare Beasts gave up besieging Song Qingtang and instead surrounded the Nightmare Mother. They licked her wounds, hoping to wake her up.
But it was all in vain. After the Nightmare Mother died, the Nightmare Beasts gradually weakened and disappeared after a while. Even those Nightmare Beasts that were sealed in the ice by Song Qingtang disappeared into thin air.
However, the next scene surprised Chi Wanyin very much.
