In the picturesque back mountain of Luoxia Valley, a man dressed in a green robe, with a full head of silver hair and a slender figure, carefully trimmed the most ordinary camellias with a pair of scissors in his hand. He exuded an indescribable air of otherworldly elegance and grace. This man was Xiu Qiyu's master, the current sect leader of Luoxia Valley—Yuehen.
Soon, the elder, who also had white hair but walked in a hurry, rushed over. When he saw that the sect leader was actually pruning flowers and plants, his wrinkled face became even more wrinkled, almost like pine bark.
"Elder Qiu, what brings you in such a hurry?"
"Those old bastards are here again, right here in the reception hall, trying to take away our sect's core disciples or inner disciples. They say that since our Falling Cloud Valley has offended the behemoth Illusionary Heaven Palace anyway, they'll get their comeuppance sooner or later, so we shouldn't drag our disciples into it. They're just trying to be kind this time, wanting to leave our disciples a way out, and they don't need to be too grateful. These old bastards are shameless..." The First Elder spoke for half an hour before stopping, his old face flushed with anger. Then, seeing that his sect leader hadn't reacted at all, he was greatly dissatisfied: "Sect Leader, aren't you angry?"
"This isn't the first time they've done things like kicking someone when they're down or taking advantage of someone's misfortune, so there's no need to bother with them."
"But they're holding out, ready to forcibly take the disciples away at the slightest disagreement. I can't stop them by myself." The Grand Elder's voice trailed off. It was all their fault for being useless, causing the deaths of so many disciples, and now they were dragging down the sect's future prodigies. The Grand Elder was deeply saddened.
Yuehen put away the scissors in her hand: "Elder Qiu, there's no need to be too sad. Xiao Qi sent a message yesterday that the experts from the Pill King Hall are on their way. He will be back in about ten days."
Elder Qiu's fingers clenched tightly in his sleeve, and his small eyes gleamed: "Really? That's wonderful!"
Xiu Qiyu has become the faith of the entire Luoxia Valley. As long as Xiu Qiyu is there, the hearts of the people in Luoxia Valley will never be scattered.
“Didn’t Lian Jing want to kill Xiao Qi? Isn’t Xiao Qi’s reckless return exactly what Lian Jing wanted?” Elder Qiu habitually spun around in circles for a while, then looked up at the sect leader with a somewhat innocent expression: “Sect leader, why aren’t you worried at all?”
"Xiao Qi knows what he's doing, let's just wait for news. Now let's go and properly entertain those sect leaders!" Yuehen's usually calm face was now filled with a strong killing intent.
"Sect Leader, you're not planning to fight them to the death, are you? No way! There are six of them, and each of them has brought two experts with them. They clearly have ill intentions."
"Since they don't want to leave, then let them stay!" With that, he vanished from Elder Qiu's sight. Elder Qiu gritted his teeth; even if it cost him his life, he would see his disciples leave.
Elder Qiu never imagined that a deity would descend from the heavens and wipe out those shameless old bastards.
"Huh? How fast is the sect leader? He's already disappeared without a trace!" Elder Qiu gritted his teeth and hurriedly followed.
As a Yellow-level power, Luoxia Valley's reception hall could not possibly be luxurious, and with these uninvited old fogies, it just felt awkward no matter how you looked at it.
"What wind blew you here?" Yuehen flicked his blue sleeves, a smile playing on his face, whose age was hard to discern, but his eyes were icy cold.
"I say, Elder Yue, your good disciple has offended a powerful figure. Luoxia Valley will be finished sooner or later. Why don't you run away in panic? Hahahaha~~~" The speaker was the Palace Master of Shuiyue Palace, an old woman who could never get married.
"Yes, do you think we came here willingly? We only came because we saw that Luoxia Valley was about to perish and wanted to lend a helping hand to give your disciples a way out." The tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.
"We've known each other for a while now, so I'm here today to say goodbye to an old friend." What a hypocritical face! It's disgusting.
"So you're not planning to leave today?" Yuehen's tone was also nonchalant, as if he didn't take their words to heart at all.
"Hurry up and call all the disciples over so we can leave as soon as possible."
"Do you really think that Falling Sunset Valley is a place where you can come and go as you please?" Yuehen's smile remained unreadable, but many had already sensed something was amiss. Yuehen's reaction was strange! How could he be so calm, so completely uneasy? Did Falling Sunset Valley have some hidden agenda, intending to wipe them out in one fell swoop? That was impossible. Didn't they know the situation in Falling Sunset Valley? The Grand Elder Qiu Shu was at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, while Yuehen was barely at the early stage of the Divine Transformation stage. Add to that several elders at the Nascent Soul stage, and with their combined strength, razing Falling Sunset Valley to the ground would be an easy task.
However, for some reason, many people have a bad feeling. Could it be that Yuehen has some trump card up his sleeve?
Moonlight, wearing exquisite, flawless white boots, stepped lightly into the reception room, even carrying a book in her hand.
Has Yuehen gone mad?
The next second, the door to the reception room suddenly closed, and everyone found themselves unable to move. They even felt as if their lives were in Yuehen's control, and they were powerless to resist.
"You are not Yuehen, who are you?" the sect leader of Shuiyue Palace roared hysterically.
"Too noisy." Soon, the Palace Master of Shuiyue Palace was unable to utter another word.
"Since you are so kind and hospitable, I am not an unfeeling person. You may all stay here today!"
Cold sweat poured down their backs. What the hell was Yuehen's cultivation level? He only exuded a slight aura, yet it had already suppressed the flow of their true essence. This terrifying man! He was clearly a peerless master, yet he was content to remain at the Yellow Rank, unwilling to improve.
The crucial point is that their lives are now entirely in Yuehen's hands. They should have known better than to come. Even that bastard Jing didn't even investigate their strength before sending them here as cannon fodder.
They forgot that even Jing hadn't forced them to come to Luoxia Valley to admire Yuehen's desolation and to take a few outstanding disciples back with them. It was entirely their own decision, and this time they were definitely in deep trouble.
"Please, Sect Leader, have mercy on us this time!"
"Yes, we were forced into it too." (A sob story)
"Oh, didn't you come of your own volition? I'm a hospitable person, so why don't you stay in my Sunset Valley for a couple more days?" His tone left no room for argument.
"Sect Leader is joking. There are still many things to take care of in the sect, so we won't stay any longer and will take our leave now."
"Do you think I, Luoxia Valley, can come and go as I please? Do you even respect me?" After saying this, Hua Yunxi's sect leader coughed up blood, all because of a single glance from Yuehen.
