However, before Dongfang Bubai's palm could reach Yaoyue's chest by even two inches, Yaoyue moved her hand slightly, and a strong repulsive force, along with the restrained sword intent, surged up like a tidal wave and rushed towards Dongfang Bubai, causing Dongfang Bubai's body to pause for a moment involuntarily.
But even that brief pause was enough for Yaoyue to retreat.
With her gaze fixed on Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue said with a frosty expression, "I didn't expect your true energy to have increased so much."
Hearing what Yaoyue said, Dongfang Bubai snorted and said, "Likewise."
As he spoke, Dongfang Bubai's expression became even more solemn.
Originally, Dongfang Bubai thought that his current strength was enough to easily crush Yaoyue.
Unexpectedly, during the last time at Yihua Palace, Yaoyue's strength increased again, and she even thought of combining "Yihua Jieyu" with sword intent to form something similar to the sword intent domain.
This made Yaoyue, who was in this domain of sword intent, like a hedgehog, making her difficult to attack.
Both Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai were dissatisfied with this draw.
Neither woman expected that their opponent's strength had changed so much during their encounter.
A few breaths later, Yaoyue snorted coldly and said, "No wonder she let a completely unrelated woman run into this courtyard. It seems that she has put all her mind into cultivation."
Perhaps realizing that Yaoyue's strength was no less than his own, Dongfang Bubai no longer had the tolerance he had shown towards Yaoyue's provocations.
Hearing Yaoyue's words, Dongfang Bubai snorted coldly and said, "This sect leader finds Lin Shiyin pleasing to the eye. She is much better than some uninvited person who sneaks into this courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue's expression darkened, and she asked, "What do you mean?"
Dongfang Bubai said coldly, "It's meaningless. Since you think that Lin Shiyin was let in by this sect leader, then this sect leader will grant your wish. I will decide that Lin Shiyin will stay in this courtyard from now on."
Yaoyue raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "You dare?"
Dongfang Bubai raised his chin slightly and said, "Do you think this leader dares to do it?"
In response to Dongfang Bubai's words, Yaoyue clenched her fists and glared angrily.
After a few breaths of silence between the two women, they started fighting again as their inner energy began to circulate once more.
In an instant, dust filled the mountaintop.
Half an hour later.
As the two women returned to the courtyard, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao looked up and saw that Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue both had frosty expressions. Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao knew very well that neither of them had gained any advantage in tonight's battle.
After returning to the courtyard, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue first exchanged a glance, then quickly turned their heads and let out a soft hum.
Seeing the two girls acting like children, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but smile.
After Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue sat down on either side of Chu Qinghe, and the two women each took a sip of wine, Chu Qinghe slowly asked, "Has the matter at Yihua Palace been resolved?"
The gentle and languid voice reached her ears, and the coldness in Yaoyue's heart instantly dissipated by more than half.
He picked up his glass, took a small sip, and gave a soft "hmm" in acknowledgment.
Then, Yaoyue changed the subject and asked, "What's the deal with Pang Ban from the Demon Master's Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It should be the work of a force called the Bad People in the Great Tang Dynasty."
Yaoyue raised an eyebrow and said, "The Bad Guys?"
Seeing that Yaoyue didn't understand, Xiao Zhao considerately explained the situation in detail.
After learning about what had happened to Chu Qinghe during her time back at Yihua Palace, Yaoyue's expression became slightly serious.
"I never expected that a top-tier power would secretly emerge in the Tang Dynasty."
After saying that, Yaoyue glanced at Dongfang Bubai and snorted, "It's laughable that you willingly walked into both of their schemes."
Dongfang Bubai slowly said, "As a top power in the west, it's laughable that you only learned about these recent events now.
Yaoyue frowned upon hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, but said nothing.
As a top-tier power, Yihua Palace is located west of the Ming Dynasty. However, so much time has passed since the incident, and Yaoyue's side still hasn't been able to clearly know the details. This is indeed an oversight on Yihua Palace's part.
After a few moments of contemplation, Yaoyue spoke up: "So, judging from the incident at Bright Peak, since Bai Xiaosheng is the leader of the Azure Dragon Society, his cooperation with Pang Ban this time is for the sake of Southern Shaolin?"
Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "It's probably not that simple."
After a pause, Chu Qinghe said, "Over the years, the Azure Dragon Society has kept a very low profile, so low that no one even knows that Bai Xiaosheng is the leader of the Azure Dragon Society."
"With such a style of operation, since they dare to prepare to deal with the Southern Shaolin Temple, they obviously already have a foolproof plan."
"If it's just about dealing with the Southern Shaolin Temple, it might not be difficult for the Azure Dragon Society. In that case, why drag someone like Pang Ban into it?"
"Unless, the Azure Dragon Society's goal this time is far more than just the Southern Shaolin Temple."
