Six thousand funeral flowers
The person who came did not show up, so Mi Yun continued walking forward. Along the way, apart from the trees that kept appearing, she did not see anyone.
But she knew that the other party was right around her. Was he keeping quiet to keep her on the hook, or did he want to kill her?
The worms crawled up her arm in circles, and Mi Yun soothed them before using Water Ripple Moon Shadow to climb the tallest tree.
—I can't get up there.
In the illusion, she had no way of finding the direction to use her light-footed skills.
The way Liu Lihua taught her to break the deadlock last time still requires waiting for a flaw to appear in the environment, but Mi Yun cannot sit idly by and wait for death. She must try again and again in order to find the flaw.
Finally, when she used her inner strength to push down a tree, the fog dissipated, and the trees on both sides seemed to move aside automatically to make way for her. In front of her, a pond and a bamboo house appeared.
Without hesitation, Mi Yun threw out a small insect that glowed with fire, not even bothering to go inside, and prepared to burn the house down.
However, after the fire, the bamboo house was completely intact.
snort.
Just as Mi Yun was about to burn it again, everything suddenly went black before her eyes.
She alertly sensed the darkness around her, and the next moment, she had "woke up" in the bamboo house.
Beside her sat a girl with a fairy-like appearance and an ethereal temperament.
Jade Fairy.
Mi Yun was not as surprised by her appearance as she had imagined. After all, it was Yu Yangxian herself who had caused so much trouble during the day and then disappeared without a trace.
Mi Yun didn't understand why those martial arts practitioners only paid attention to her internal strength and didn't care that Yu Yangxian also knew a little bit of Water Pattern Moon Shadow. Perhaps it was because her internal strength was much stronger than Yu Yangxian's? However, Yu Yangxian just ran away like that, which would definitely arouse suspicion later. Mi Yun didn't understand why Yu Yangxian was taking such a big risk.
"I want the ripples of water and the reflection of the moon."
She looked into Mi Yun's eyes: "I know you are a moon worshipper. Teach me the Water Ripple Moon Shadow technique, and I will let you go."
"impossible."
Mi Yun sneered, "With your current internal strength and aptitude, let alone the Baiyue technique, even the lightness skills of ordinary sects, you can only learn the form but not truly use them. If you force yourself to cultivate the Water Pattern Moon Shadow, you will die before you reach the third level."
"It's okay, I don't care."
Yu Yangxian suddenly grabbed her hand: "I'd be willing to die just to learn the Water Pattern Moon Shadow technique."
She stared intently at Mi Yun's face. Mi Yun had seen that look before. There was once a sword fanatic who only knew how to practice swordsmanship. His sword had something she wanted. She wanted to take back what belonged to Bai Yue, but he refused to give it to her. So she had no choice but to fight. But her opponent was very strong. His eyes were only on his sword, and he was single-minded. Naturally, she could not defeat him.
Mi Yun rarely used Gu in direct combat, because he disdained it and thought it would be too easy to cause trouble. However, when he faced him, he had no other choice but to resort to what the righteous faction considered a despicable and shameless tactic.
As a member of the Demonic Sect, she naturally wouldn't care about reputation, but this was a denial of her own martial arts skills, so from that time on, she particularly disliked such persistent people.
Now I've encountered another one.
How did you find me?
Now that things have come to this point, Mi Yun can guess who orchestrated her scheme today. But she can't understand it. Shui Wen Yue Ying is clearly the most advanced lightness skill, where one's internal energy blends seamlessly with every blade of grass and tree, and is known for its stealth. If she hadn't first released that clumsy Shui Wen Yue Ying and then used a killing move to force her to release her internal energy in full view of everyone, how could those martial arts practitioners have discovered that she was Bai Yue's person? And when everything was still unknown, why did this woman, who was powerless, notice her? Could it be that some of the young masters from those random sects around her had this ability?
She still didn't believe it; the traces of water ripples and moon shadows were impossible to detect unless one had truly mastered them.
Not to mention the special nature of learning Water Ripple Moon Shadow, only a portion of the Moon Worship Cult has the opportunity to access it, and no one who has learned it has ever defected from their cult. Moreover, even if a disciple who has left wants to teach it to an outsider, the Gu worms on their bodies will not allow it.
There was only one person...
Mi Yun remembered someone who should have disappeared long ago.
Bai Yue didn't really know what the cult leader had done outside. If she was the one who taught... then such a weak version couldn't have been left behind. In Bai Yue's old man's words, that cult leader was almost invincible.
"Your water ripples and moon reflections are very similar to hers."
Yu Yangxian spoke softly, seemingly recalling the light-footed movements of Mi Yun when they first met. Just one movement reminded her of an old friend she hadn't seen in a long time.
"picture?"
Mi Yun frowned even more. She hadn't expected that Bai Yue's concealed lightness skill would be so easily exposed. She also hadn't expected that she, the Holy Maiden of Bai Yue, the most orthodox successor of the Water Pattern Moon Shadow technique, would be said to resemble another outsider by an outsider.
It was utterly outrageous! Mi Yun, recalling what had happened that day, was overwhelmed with old and new grudges, and suddenly struck out and slit Yu Yangxian's throat.
Blood splattered on her face, but without looking back, Mi Yun turned and jumped out of the bamboo house window.
When she saw the same scene before her, with Yu Yangxian still sitting on the bed slowly getting up and looking at her, Mi Yun closed her eyes and remained silent for a moment.
What, you martial arts people only have one set of illusion templates?
"Don't rush to do anything. As long as you teach me, I will get you whatever Baiyue wants."
"You?"
Mi Yun sneered: "What right do you, an ordinary person who can barely take care of yourself, have to help Bai Yue?"
That enemy even named her and demanded that she kill her. She hadn't even completed the task with her last partner, and now someone else wanted to cooperate with her. But this time, it was about the Moon Worship Technique. She was too lazy to even exchange a few words with her, let alone teach her martial arts.
Yu Yangxian didn't speak, but suddenly stood up and went to Mi Yun's front, placing her hand directly on her face and removing her mask.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent for a moment. Mi Yun tried to use his internal energy with both hands, but found that he couldn't muster any strength at all.
Mi Yun frowned. Something was wrong.
It wasn't just that she couldn't use her internal energy, but also that her opponent's skill was lacking.
Mi Yun raised her eyes and looked at the other person with a gloomy expression. She could sense that the other person was indeed someone who only knew some ordinary martial arts, but what was surrounding her now was actually the Soul-Seizing Technique that even the people of Baiyue dared not use.
Soul-Seizing Technique, as the name suggests, can seize a person's "soul." This soul includes not only life but also the other person's memories, martial arts techniques, and internal energy. This move is a notorious evil technique. Although it was not created by Baiyue, due to his penchant for collecting these evil and unorthodox methods, a certain leader of the sect once included it in Baiyue's arsenal.
However, no one dares to use this move casually, because the so-called soul-capturing is not a one-sided process. In the process of absorbing the other person's soul, one can easily go berserk. Basically, no one can succeed. The last person who succeeded...
"Burning ten thousand people to refine one soul—back then, this was something that could only be done on the battlefield. How did you manage to do it?"
To stabilize the Soul-Seizing Technique, one must acquire thousands of similar souls, refine them together, and let them kill each other during the forging process in order to stabilize the mind and heart of the Soul-Seizing Person.
This move is not only insidious, but also has extremely demanding conditions and severe consequences. Even if someone learns it, let alone dares to use it, the conditions alone make it almost impossible to achieve.
How despicable! So despicable that even someone like her, a member of the demonic sect, couldn't guard against her.
"In three years, I have met all sorts of people."
Yu Yangxian looked at her calmly: "To burn ten thousand people, all you need to do is make the fire burn longer and farther."
Mi Yun suddenly understood why Yu Yangxian was unwilling to leave Yi Huan Pavilion despite having the opportunity. Those who came to Yi Huan Pavilion to see her were all wealthy and powerful people. These people were similar, and it would allow her to come into contact with more people of high status. As long as she did this, she could gain more power.
"You've refined your soul for so long, and now you're draining it all away. Aren't you afraid of causing chaos in the world, not only losing your reputation as a fairy, but also being hunted down by martial artists and the imperial court?"
Mi Yun looked into Yu Yangxian's eyes, secretly trying to neutralize the negative effects of the attack.
Yu Yangxian shook her head: "Others are none of my business, and my life is insignificant."
That's certainly a sign of great awareness. Mi Yun twitched the corners of her mouth and couldn't help but sigh at her way of thinking, but only if she herself hadn't been turned into that kind of person by her.
"You have great ambition, but unfortunately, Baiyue isn't falling for this kind of trick for now."
Mi Yun threw out the poisoned needle, felt her strength returning, and then turned and jumped out of the window.
Even if Bai Yue doesn't use such sinister techniques, he still needs to study ways to counter them. Otherwise, what's the point of collecting them just for display? Just like when Mi Yun learned that technique to break the deadlock last time, you never know when you'll encounter the same problem again, so it's essential to prepare the answers in advance.
So when she jumped out of the window this time, the fog had already dissipated, the sky was breaking, and dawn was approaching.
Mi Yun knew that Yu Yangxian was not dead. She must have left herself a way out with her own formation. So when she heard the rustling sound behind her, she did not hesitate. Moon Shadow Flying Sky released a bunch of poison needles!
When she saw the blurry moon appear behind Mi Yun, Yu Yangxian couldn't tell whether it was the lingering moonlight of the night or the radiance of the moon's shadow. As Mi Yun stepped on the leaves, causing ripples to spread across them, she became even more mesmerized, and thus accidentally took a needle prick.
"Cough, cough cough."
Yu Yangxian spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood, knocked to the ground by the force of the needle, and weakly looked up at Mi Yun.
Upon seeing this, Mi Yun frowned and instantly released five silk threads, intending to cut the other person's body in two.
She had already used the most poisonous bone-dissolving liquid, which could even dissolve inanimate objects, so why was she only vomiting blood?
While puzzled, she prepared to physically cut the other party, but just as she was about to make a move, Yu Yangxian suddenly raised her hand and opened her palm.
In that instant, Mi Yun suddenly seemed to lose control, turning the silk thread around and whipping it onto her own legs.
turn out to be……
"You actually... have... a fragment of jade..."
Mi Yun felt excruciating pain in her legs. She looked incredulously at the piece of jade lying quietly in Yu Yangxian's hand.
Inside the palace, the final, potent medicine had been administered. Outside the palace, news of the martial arts tournament and the chaos caused by the Demonic Sect arrived, and several cases of soul loss suddenly occurred in the city. Everything was in disarray, and this was precisely the moment Tu Xiao had been waiting for.
Amidst this chaos, she suddenly received news that the Holy Maiden of the Moon's communication Gu had been severed.
