In the main hall of disciples, black and white figures fought for their respective races. Shen Muqing struggled against Bai Que, now realizing the consequences of her boastful words.
The two were not evenly matched; Bai Que was toying with Shen Muqing like she was playing with a dog.
"Is this the personal disciple of the renowned Immortal Venerable Xu Lin? He's utterly weak and pathetic."
"none of your business."
She couldn't win in a fight, but she couldn't admit defeat verbally. Shen Muqing took his powerful attack, staggered back a few steps, and a trickle of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth, which she wiped away nonchalantly.
"Heh, you're all talk and no action, but you're not strong at all. I'd like to see just how tough your mouth is."
Bai Que smiled, gathering her spiritual power, preparing to unleash a powerful attack on Shen Muqing.
"East Wind Breaks".
A burst of black light swept in, containing a powerful vortex of magic. A moment's carelessness would result in being torn to pieces.
Shen Muqing had no time to think or react. With his strength, he was no match for this attack and could only wait to die on the spot.
On the other side, Yun Ruoyue, who was fighting with Black Tiger, noticed that something was wrong with Shen Muqing. Without thinking, she flashed in front of her and took the hit from Bai Que.
"Bang"
The collision of their forces produced a tremendous sound. Yun Ruoyue caught it effortlessly. She turned her head, and Shen Muqing could only see her carefree profile, exuding confidence and strength.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
Shen Muqing quickly hid behind her; the feeling of clinging to her leg was just too good.
Across from them, Bai Que, her face grim, asked Hei Hu, who had just arrived, "You can't beat her?"
Black Tiger also had a sullen face. He thought Yun Ruoyue was weaker than him, at most the same level, since she didn't seem strong to him during the fight just now.
The fact that she could still spare the energy to care about others and even save people while fighting with him made Black Tiger feel like he was being played by Yun Ruoyue.
"Shut up."
"Qingqing, hide behind me, I'll handle these two."
"good."
The two-on-two situation turned into a one-on-two, with Yun Ruoyue taking on both opponents with ease.
At Canghua Mountain, Xuan Yan sensed the change and wanted to find Shen Muqing, but his steps were blocked by Kou Chi, who appeared out of nowhere.
"Immortal Venerable, it's been a long time, although we just met not long ago."
"Get out of here."
Xuan Yan spoke impatiently, sensing that Shen Muqing was not in good condition and he was eager to save her.
"You're trying to save your little disciple, aren't you? Tsk tsk, I didn't expect there would be someone the Immortal Venerable is thinking about. It's just a pity that the girl is probably dying soon."
The word "death" struck a chord deep within Xuan Yan; his eyes grew cold, as if frosted over, filled with an unyielding chill.
"I told you to get out of here."
Kou Chi wasn't annoyed. Instead, he took out a black glass bottle and said, "I really hope that the immortal venerable one later will be just as aloof."
After saying that, he uncorked the bottle, and a faint fragrance wafted out, instantly filling the air. Xuan Yan's expression changed upon smelling it, "Dragon Bone Fragrance."
"Your Excellency has great insight. I spent a lot of effort finding this and prepared it especially for you. Are you surprised?"
Dragon Bone Incense is a powerful aphrodisiac for dragons. Almost instantly, Xuan Yan's body stiffened, and since he was already in heat, he found it even harder to resist.
Seeing that Xuan Yan's body was stiff, Kou Chi threw out the Fulong Pagoda again to suppress him.
This tower was specially prepared for Xuan Yan. Only Xuan Yan's full-force attack can shatter it. However, if he unleashes his full power, it will attract a heavenly tribulation, allowing him to transcend the tribulation and ascend to immortality.
Xuan Yan's cultivation level was already high, and he deliberately suppressed it, not wanting to ascend.
"Immortal Venerable, you should stay inside and rest well. I will take good care of your disciple."
Kou Chi laughed shamelessly, smug and overjoyed, then turned and went to find Shen Muqing.
The current situation perfectly describes the dilemma: if the tower is not broken, Shen Muqing will be in danger; if the tower is broken, Xuan Yan will be separated from Shen Muqing.
Xuan Yan couldn't accept either situation, but he still had to make a choice. Compared to separation, he couldn't accept Shen Muqing's death even more.
But Shen Muqing is not afraid of death, because his life and hers are already bound together, to live and die together, and he will accompany her.
Xuan Yan inside the tower began to gather his strength to break through it. Time was of the essence, and it would take some time to break through the tower. Qing Qing waited for him.
In the main hall of disciples, Black Tiger and White Sparrow both fell to the ground, completely overwhelmed by Yun Ruoyue's attack. White Sparrow exclaimed, "Impossible! How could your strength have increased so rapidly in just a few months?"
Black Tiger, standing behind him, said coolly, "Now you know how powerful she is." He added that Bai Que, who had previously looked down on him, was now getting a beating.
"Shut up."
"oh"
Yun Ruoyue didn't want to get entangled with them any longer and planned to end things with them.
Shen Muqing chuckled, "Although I can't beat you guys, I have powerful backers to rely on."
The two men who had fallen to the ground gritted their teeth; this was a disgrace to them. Black Tiger prayed in his heart, "May the Demon Lord come quickly and save your subordinates. Your subordinates seem to be dying."
His prayers were answered; Kochi flew down from the sky and landed steadily in front of the two of them.
Black Tiger was extremely excited: "Demon Lord, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, White Sparrow and I would have almost died here."
Unlike the idiot next to him, Bai Que stood up and respectfully bowed to Kou Chi, saying, "Demon Lord."
"You idiot, how dare you complain?" Kou Chi glanced coldly at Black Tiger. He had done such a terrible job and still had the nerve to complain.
"Oh." Black Tiger stopped talking and stood silently behind Kou Chi, only looking at Shen Muqing with a provocative gaze, indicating that she also had a backer.
Shen Muqing's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! She tugged at Yun Ruoyue's sleeve, seeing her calm expression, and assumed she was confident. "Yueyue, can you beat him?"
"I can't win," Yun Ruoyue said softly, her voice very low, but her face was full of confidence.
"ha?"
That's bad, Shen Muqing: "But you give me the feeling that you can win, what's going on?"
"I was faking it."
Yun Ruoyue held her sword, a gentle breeze blowing her long hair, which floated in the air, her expression haughty.
6. What do we do now?
"I don't know. If we take a gamble, the worst that can happen is death."
"good."
Kou Chi looked at the two of them as if they were idiots. The way they were whispering to each other seemed oblivious to the world around them. "Do you two think I'm deaf?"
They didn't take him seriously at all, which made Kou Chi a little angry; they were just like Xuan Yan.
"If you give up cultivating immortality now and join my demon race, I can spare you."
To persuade someone who cultivates immortality to fall into demonic ways is no different from persuading someone to die.
His voice was amplified to the point that it could be heard throughout the entire Qingyun Sect.
"Your Qingyun Sect's fate is sealed. Give up the fight, everyone. If you repent and turn away from evil, I can spare your lives."
Some Qingyun Sect disciples stopped, truly bewitched by his words, and actually laid down their weapons and fell into demonic possession.
