"Hey! Who wants to fight?" A sharp female voice pierced the brief silence, pulling everyone back to their senses from their shock.
Zhu Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw that not far away, the female cultivator who had just been ordered to run to fetch reinforcements was returning with another tall and strong female cultivator.
The newcomer was sturdy and had an honest-looking face. His coarse clothes were covered in mud. He had his left hand on his hip and was holding a long, large cooking ladle in his right hand. He didn't seem very bright.
"Beggar! You've come!" Lanxiang's face lit up with joy. She quickly ran to the female cultivator with the vegetable ladle, handed her a chicken leg, whispered a few words in her ear, and then retreated far behind her.
The other lackeys also tacitly gave up their spots.
"So you're the one who bullied Xiao Xiangxiang?" The female cultivator with the vegetable spoon looked unhappy. Before Zhu Yi could continue speaking, she waved her hand and slapped Zhu Yi on the forehead with the vegetable spoon.
Xue Shan reacted quickly, pushing Zhu Yi and Wei Wei back. She attached her azure wood spirit power to the Hehuan Sword, then leaped up and met the chopping spoon head-on with the opponent.
Zhu Yi quickly asked the surrounding disciples, "Who is this person? Doesn't the sect forbid disciples from fighting in private?"
"Oh, this is the daughter of the Hundred Flowers Peak Master, named Hua Nuansu. She's a little dim-witted and often gets into trouble, but the sect leader doesn't seem to mind..."
"Twenty years ago, when the Peak Master of Hundred Flowers Peak, Hua Zhen and his wife, were traveling outside, they encountered a rift in the demonic realm that was constantly seeping demonic energy into the cultivation world, so they stopped to repair the rift."
"Who knew that the demonic energy was too domineering? By the time Master Yujing and the sect leader arrived to provide assistance, it was already too late!"
"Elders Hua Zhen and his wife were both corrupted by demonic energy and turned into mummies!" The disciple in blue spoke sadly to Zhu Yi, "Later, it was Master Yujing who sealed the rift."
"Senior Sister Hua Nuansu couldn't accept the sudden death of her parents, and it just so happened that she was undergoing her Golden Core Tribulation at that time. As a result, she became mentally unstable. She failed the tribulation and her soul was scattered by heavenly lightning, and she has been insane ever since..."
After the disciple in green finished speaking, many of the younger disciples around her, who were unaware of the situation, looked at Hua Nuansu with much more sympathy.
An incomplete soul affects one's mind. A perfectly good young woman was tricked into fighting on their behalf by someone using a chicken leg as bait. And judging from their appearance, they probably made Hua Nuansu do bad things quite often...
Judging from her dirty clothes and coarse linen garments, she probably didn't receive much care on a daily basis...
Zhu Yi was even more furious!
Looking at the female cultivators across from her who were cheering for Hua Nuansu, her expression turned even more unfriendly.
She squatted down and asked Zhao Cai for a breath of black mist, which Zhao Cai readily agreed to.
It knew better than to lose face in front of outsiders; with a single spit, a large glob of saliva landed squarely in Zhu Yi's hand. Now Zhu Yi had a reason to make it even more barbecue! Even the rats in the bamboo forest didn't seem so appealing anymore!
"A martyr's orphan should not be used like this by you!" Zhu Yi took out the horse-slaying saber she hadn't practiced today. The golden spiritual energy of the light yellow leaves was attached to the gleaming blade. With a few leaps, she arrived in front of the arrogant and wicked woman opposite her.
"Although I have never met Elders Hua Zhen and his wife, I have heard of their heroic deeds today and have great respect for them. It's one thing for you few to bully your fellow disciples, but to actually instigate the mentally unstable Senior Sister Hua to act as your pawn! It's truly despicable!"
Zhu Yi's voice was clear and resonant, each word powerful and clear, leaving a lasting impression on the onlookers in the small playground.
"If you want to fight, then fight! Why are you arguing so much? At worst, we'll go to the Discipline Hall together to be punished after we're done fighting!"
Lanxiang was extremely unwilling to lose face in front of so many fellow disciples. She summoned several of her sisters, who all revealed their secret weapons to fight back.
Seeing this, Wei Weiwei was not to be outdone. She quickly took out yellow talisman paper, drew several slow-motion talismans with a cinnabar pen, and threw them at the two groups of people fighting on the opposite side.
The disciples watching were unsure whether to step in and break up the fight. Senior Brother Mu Yu would be arriving soon, and they probably wouldn't fight for long...
With the blessing of the wealth-attracting illusionary black mist, coupled with the slow-speed talisman thrown by Wei Weiwei, the combat power of Lanxiang and the others was greatly reduced.
The psychedelic black mist left the group disoriented and greatly weakened their fighting ability. Taking advantage of this, Zhu Yi drew her horse-slaying saber and began to spin it, raising it high with both hands.
She blended into the midst of five or six arrogant female cultivators, and before they could react, she bent down and swung her sword, using the strength of her waist to make the long, slender saber protect her like a dragon, preventing anyone from getting close.
The black-handled broadsword slammed repeatedly against the female cultivators, causing them excruciating pain.
Lanxiang was furious: Where did this little disciple come from? A mere Qi Refining stage cultivator dared to go against her Foundation Establishment stage cultivation! If it weren't for these black mists blocking her way, she would definitely teach her a lesson!
Zhu Yi moved with the agility of a dragon, her sword moving at will, as if it possessed intelligence, constantly cooperating with her to teach these five or six wicked female cultivators a lesson. Her speed was so fast that she didn't give them a chance to use their magic.
Zhu Yi knew that if she hadn't used the wealth-attracting black mist, she wouldn't have dared to fight them easily. So she could only quickly subdue them with her weapons before they could cast any spells!
The disciples watching from the small training ground admired Zhu Yi's graceful and agile figure. Most of the disciples of the Fu Sect focused on cultivating magic and rarely put effort into weaponry.
For a moment, everyone was captivated. It turned out that female cultivators could wield the sword with such valor and grace, dazzling and breathtaking!
This junior sister looks to be only at the second level of Qi Refining, yet she can wield her weapon with such power. What kind of unparalleled grace will she possess when her cultivation level rises?
Zhu Yi's graceful and fluid movements left them in awe and feeling inferior!
They unconsciously compared themselves to Wei Weiwei, who was drawing talismans to help them, and suddenly felt that they needed to take matters into their own hands to vent their anger...
After exchanging three blows, Xue Shan was surprised to find that the woman with the vegetable spoon opposite her actually had no spiritual energy!
After Wei Weiwei cast a few slow-speed spells, the speed of the ladle noticeably decreased. Xue Shan also carefully withdrew her spiritual energy and fought with pure physical strength.
"Sister Shan, don't hurt him! If you can't beat him, run!" Zhu Yi called out to Xue Shan from afar.
Upon hearing this, Xue Shan didn't think much of it, so she put away the Hehuan Sword and started chasing Cai Shaozi around the small playground.
Seeing that Xue Shan had sheathed her sword, Cai Shaozi was quite displeased: "Come on, fight! Why are you being so hesitant and afraid to fight?"
Xue Shan felt tired after running only a few laps: "I don't know either, but I'm just listening to Junior Sister Zhu Yi!"
She glanced back at the radiantly bright-eyed spoon behind her and exclaimed: "She's so strong! Even with a slow-speed talisman on her, she can still run so fast. I even used my spiritual energy to avoid being caught, and I'm still a little out of breath..."
Xue Shan has been keeping a low profile in the sect lately, diligently completing the tasks and goals set for her by Mu Yu every day. She feels that she has made a lot of progress compared to three months ago, but when she compared herself to Cai Shaozi tonight, she still felt very weak.
She channeled her inner energy into her legs, running ahead with a slightly frustrated expression...
