"Not long after they destroyed Blood Shadow Palace, the two of them attacked Black Wind Valley and annihilated the two patriarchs of Black Wind Valley. Not long after, Black Wind Valley was also destroyed."
"Then they destroyed the Bone Hall, the Soul Corpse Sect, the Yin Water Sect, the Breaking Heaven Sect, the Ghost Mist Sect, and the Heavenly Sunflower Sect. Later, the Demon Sword Pavilion, the Myriad Sounds Nunnery, and the Heavenly Heart Cave joined forces to try to kill the two of them, but they failed. Instead, the two of them defeated these three sects one by one. Almost half of the demonic forces in the Eastern Region were uprooted by them."
The young man in the yellow robe spoke with great enthusiasm, spittle flying everywhere.
"The Jade Flute Fairy and the Sword Boy are truly righteous and hate evil. I wonder where they learned their masters?" said an old man with a goatee.
Everyone had always been curious about the identities of the Jade Flute Fairy and the Sword Boy. The Sword Boy's background had already been uncovered; his name was Feng Chu, the same genius youth who had fought against Lu Xueyao, the pride of the Southern Region, in the Burial Dragon Mountain Secret Realm. However, that was all the people knew—just his name.
There have been many speculations about the identity of the Jade Flute Fairy, with some even guessing that she is Lu Xueyao. However, this speculation was quickly refuted. This is because when the Jade Flute Fairy destroyed the Bone Hall, someone testified that Miss Lu was in the Southern Region at that time and that he witnessed it firsthand.
Lu Xueyao of the Lu family is currently at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while the Jade Flute Fairy is at the late-stage. Lu Xueyao has comprehended the essences of water, ice and snow, and autumn, while the Jade Flute Fairy's essence is the essence of wood. Therefore, everyone believes that these two cannot be the same person.
The girl in green and the boy in white arrived at a small, private trading fair, hosted by an elderly man in the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, whose Daoist name was Mu Xuzi.
Although it was a small, private trade fair, all the participants were cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, so the scale was quite high. No one objected to the green-clad girl and the white-clad boy, both at the Nascent Soul stage, participating in such a trade fair. In the eyes of the world, these two were already figures on par with those late-stage Void Refinement cultivators who had been famous for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
"It is an honor to have the Jade Flute Fairy and Sword Boy grace us with their presence!" Mu Xuzi said politely.
Upon hearing the words "Sword Boy," a vein bulged on Feng Chu's forehead.
Sword Boy? Scoundrel Boy?
Why give him such an awful nickname? "Child"? It's practically a reminder that he'll never grow up!
He had expressed his dissatisfaction with this title long ago, but everyone kept calling him that. If it had been a few years ago, he would have roared, "You're the lowly child! Your whole family are lowly children!!"
But now Feng Chu is numb.
Feng Chu's face was gloomy, and his whole body was filled with anger, like a volcano that could erupt at any moment. He ignored Mu Xuzi and walked straight to an empty table to sit down.
Mu Xuzi looked puzzled. What had he done to offend him?
A Yao's clone chuckled, clasped her hands in a fist salute to Mu Xuzi, and then walked towards Feng Chu.
After sitting down, Feng Chu transmitted her voice to A Yao: "Why did they give you such a nice-sounding name? Am I a lowly child? Which idiot gave me that name?"
The black-haired, golden-eyed boy puffed up his cheeks in a huff. Ah Yao looked at his fair face and smiled, saying, "Actually, it's not so bad!"
"No! Not good at all!"
All eyes turned to A Yao and Feng Chu. Some who had met them before greeted them with clasped hands in greeting. A Yao politely returned the greeting.
The auction began shortly after Ayao and Feng Chu took their seats.
Feng Chu didn't need anything, and as for A Yao, she had been collecting spiritual herbs for repairing the soul and nourishing the primordial spirit for years. However, this trade fair left A Yao somewhat disappointed; she didn't find anything she needed. After the auction ended, she only managed to exchange some materials for refining weapons.
After leaving Mu Xuzi's mansion, A Yao and Feng Chu strolled around the market for about half an hour before transforming into two long rainbows and flying eastward.
After traversing mountain peaks, Ayao and Feng Chu suddenly found themselves in a valley. The valley was filled with blooming flowers. Ayao turned and looked at a spot behind her, saying:
"You've been following us all this way, you don't really think we didn't notice you, do you?!"
Ayao stood in the sea of flowers, her light green gauze dress fluttering in the wind, her eyes fixed on a figure slowly emerging from the woods.
She was a beautiful female cultivator with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level. She wore a dark blue dress and her eyes were filled with deep sorrow.
The female cultivator approached and suddenly knelt on the ground, bowing to A Yao and Feng Chu: "Junior Guo Yan greets the two seniors!"
After A Yao and Feng Chu left Mu Xuzi's residence, the female cultivator followed them and went with them out of the city.
Ayao and Feng Chu had naturally noticed her long ago; they were just curious about what she wanted to do. Ayao and Feng Chu both knew very well that in the eyes of the world, they were practically at the Void Refinement stage. Didn't this female cultivator realize that her actions were tantamount to courting death?
"Do you need something from me?" Ayao asked.
Guo Yan nodded and said sadly, "My mother was Guo Min, the Ink Butterfly Fairy of Feixian Island. 1,560 years ago, the Old Demon Hongyun destroyed my Feixian Island. All his disciples died. My mother died to protect me. Her body and soul were turned into a puppet by the Old Demon Hongyun."
"This junior has always wanted to kill the Old Demon Hongyun, but my cultivation level is too low. Even after more than 1,500 years, I still cannot break through to the Void Refinement stage..."
"Later, later, I heard that the Old Demon Hongyun had been killed by the Fairy. The corpses that the Old Demon Hongyun created all fell into the Fairy's hands..."
Guo Yan looked at A Yao with sorrowful eyes.
Ayao asked, "You took your mother away from me?"
Guo Yan nodded.
With a wave of her hand, A Yao conjured a coffin standing upright beside her. The coffin was shrouded in deathly aura and bound by various seals. As soon as the coffin appeared, the flowers blooming around it began to wither.
With a soft sound, the coffin opened, and a refined corpse flew out. It was a beautiful woman dressed in a gorgeous red palace dress, expressionless, with white skin that revealed a black aura.
This is Guo Yan's mother, a renowned mid-stage Void Refinement female cultivator and the island master of Flying Immortal Island, Fairy Mo Die.
"Mother……"
Upon seeing the body of Fairy Modie, Guo Yan burst into tears. Seeing her tears flowing like a broken string of pearls, Feng Chu, who was standing beside her, was moved, but he remained silent, simply watching A Yao from the side.
Guo Yan knelt before A Yao, weeping, and said, "I want to take my mother away, please grant my request, fairy!"
"Your mother's corpse is my spoils of war. A peak mid-stage Void Refinement expert is a rare puppet. What price are you willing to pay?" A Yao asked Guo Yan.
Guo Yan opened her hands, and a bead gleaming with a faint green light appeared in her palms.
“This is the Soul-Gathering Pearl that I found. I want to exchange it for my mother,” Guo Yan said.
