Zuo Huaixin had never experienced anything between men and women before, and when Chen Yanxue suddenly kissed him, he blushed instantly. "You...you...who exactly are you?!"
"Oh! You're blushing! I am Chen Yanxue, the Chen Yanxue of the Romantic Journey, one of the Four Young Masters of the Demonic Sect. Haven't you heard of me?" The girl smiled as she stared at the boy, then seemed to lose interest.
"So you really are a demonic cultist! What are you trying to do at the Heavenly Sword Sect?!" the young man said angrily. This was the first time in his life he had been deceived and tricked like this. Chen Yanxue's kiss seemed more like a provocation to him. He was furious and tried to forcefully break through his acupoints.
"Little brother, you'd better think this through. If you forcefully break through your acupoints, not only will you get hurt, but if it attracts other people, I'll definitely accuse you of being my accomplice. You should understand what the crime of harboring a demonic cult member is, right?"
Such a threat was obviously useless. Even if Zuo Huaixin was simple-minded, he was not incapable of distinguishing between good and evil. Chen Yanxue originally thought he would have some concerns, but she did not expect him to directly forcefully break through his acupoints and vomit blood.
Then, Zuo Huaixin drew his immortal sword and attacked Chen Yanxue.
The girl's injuries had healed considerably by now, and Zuo Huaixin had used up too much of his spiritual energy healing her, so he was immediately at a disadvantage in the first exchange.
"You actually came? Are you out of your mind?" Chen Yanxue was a little surprised, but she also knew her own situation and didn't want to continue arguing with this hothead.
She immediately attacked again, but fortunately, Zuo Huaixin had very little spiritual power left. Chen Yanxue was very skilled in medical techniques, so she casually took out a few silver needles and threw them as hidden weapons, and the boy was controlled again.
Chen Yanxue stepped forward and looked at Zuo Huaixin helplessly, saying, "Originally, I should have silenced you in this situation, but I'm not completely without morality. After all, you saved my sister, so I'll spare your life. However, in order to make you shut up for a while, I can only make you suffer a little."
After saying that, the girl took out a medicine bottle from her bosom, took out a silver needle, poisoned it, and then stuck it into Zuo Huaixin's neck. "Go to sleep and be a good girl. None of this has anything to do with you anymore!"
...
Today, the sects will hold a martial arts competition.
The righteous sects of the world flocked to the scene. Qin Yuejiao, the current sect leader of Kunlun Immortal Sect, Master Kuhai, the current abbot of Lianhua Temple, Nanmen Linjiang, the current sect leader of Xuehan Blade Sect, as well as the Five Immortals Sect forces of Nanzhou and the sect leaders of small sects from various places arrived one after another.
It was said that they came to visit the Heavenly Sword Sect's martial arts competition, but in reality, it was for the purpose of establishing the Dao Alliance later.
Xiao Yuhan arrived at the Heavenly Sword Hall last night and did not return. He was somewhat uneasy because he had not caught the man in black. After all, if someone caused trouble on this occasion, it would undoubtedly make the Heavenly Sword Sect lose face in front of all the fellow Daoists in the world.
What concerned him most today was the representative of the Five Immortals Sect. When he saw the people from the Five Immortals Sect, he went up to test them and found that these people were indeed elders of the Five Immortals Sect. However, when Miao Xiaodie was mentioned, they said that the sect leader was in seclusion and could not come.
Xiao Yuhan grew increasingly suspicious, thinking that the visitors probably had ill intentions.
Just as Xiao Yuhan was feeling unsettled, another piece of news arrived: Zuo Huaixin had run into trouble. Senior Brother Liu Jiantang hurriedly left with his junior sister. Because there were too many guests today, he couldn't leave to check on the situation and could only accompany Senior Brother Headmaster to manage the affairs of the sect.
Xiao Yuhan was concerned because the events of last night originated in the Discipline Hall.
He found an opportunity to go to the sect leader's side.
“Senior brother, I’m still a little worried. The person yesterday wasn’t very strong, so I didn’t take it too seriously. But now that Junior Nephew Zuo is in trouble, I want to go and see.”
Ye Qingyun said softly, "Junior brother, you'd better not go. What are you worried about if Junior Brother Liu and Junior Sister go?"
"But I still feel like something's missing, Senior Brother. You still have the seal for the dungeon in the back mountain, right?"
“Didn’t we check yesterday? Without our seals, who could get people out of there?” Ye Qingyun continued.
Xiao Yuhan frowned. "Junior brother still feels uneasy. Could someone be planning to cause trouble during this sect conference?"
Ye Qingyun smiled slightly, "Junior brother, rest assured, as long as the Boundless Universe Sword is in my hands, no one will dare to act recklessly in the Heavenly Sword Sect. Although no one in the martial world has ever seen the power of the Heavenly Sword Sect's protective formation, as the sect leader, I am well aware of its power!"
Xiao Yuhan knew that his senior brother wasn't the type to boast, so he didn't say anything more, even though he still felt that something was off.
However, considering that so many experts from various immortal sects are here today, even if someone really wants to cause trouble, they would probably have to consider whether they are powerful enough.
The only thing worth worrying about is the people from Miao territory. We learned from Miao Xiaodie that Miao territory has fallen under Su Li's control, which means that the fact that these people came here is a problem in itself.
However, Xiao Yuhan couldn't show anything yet, because if she showed any wariness towards them, they would guess that Miao Xiaodie had already come to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
However, he still couldn't rest easy, so he took the opportunity to write a letter to Zhang Chengfeng. The Blood Lotus Sect had been established for more than two years. Although it was unrealistic for him to cultivate any experts on his own, with the help of Zhang Chengfeng and the imperial court, he estimated that they could find some people who could be considered as combatants.
Xiao Yuhan didn't expect them to be of any use; she just thought it was better to be prepared and that having more of her own people was always a good thing.
With limited manpower available for today's martial arts competition, and many of the disciples who pursued the man in black yesterday already withdrawn, there is simply no time to attend to other matters.
Xiao Yuhan thought that this was all she could do. If anyone else came looking for trouble, she would just have to deal with it as it came.
