Chapter 112 Junior Sister Switches to the Path of Ruthlessness 23 Nine Immortals Sect
After waiting for a quarter of an hour at the ferry dock, the large ship arrived. Yun Chiyi, holding her veiled hat, stepped onto the deck. The sea breeze was damp and salty, and some people were so strong that they could hardly stand. However, the light veil in front of her remained hanging down, and the sea breeze never lifted a corner of it.
Lin Yuwan leaned against the side. When he paid the bill, he had packed a few pieces of jujube paste cake in oil paper. At this moment, he was idly breaking off a small piece and putting it in his mouth.
He wasn't worried at all about falling from grace, or how he would explain it when he went to the Nine Immortals Sect. His expression was one of detached contentment.
Yun Chiyi glanced at him sideways.
Sensing the gaze behind the veil, Lin Yuwan hooked the soft fabric with her ring finger, revealing her fair and flawless chin, and her stunningly beautiful eyes.
He handed out the pastries in his hand: "Want some?"
Yun Chiyi frowned slightly: "Take your hand away."
Lin Yuwan knew she disliked his hands that had just touched the pastries, so she put down the light gauze and cast a cleaning spell.
As the ship sailed on the vast, boundless sea, Yun Chiyi gazed at the shimmering waves and couldn't help but think of the legendary Cloud Fairy Island.
Even if several major sects joined forces, they might not be able to fight against the Fallen Immortal. If only they could find Cloud Immortal Island and the divine artifact.
She was lost in thought, considering the possibilities.
Lin Yuwan silently hooked her little finger and slowly enveloped her hand in her palm. Yun Chiyi came back to her senses, looked down at their intertwined hands and was stunned for a moment.
Why didn't Senior Sister dodge?
Yun Chi was trying to figure out how to answer when Lin Yuwan suddenly tightened her grip, making her knuckles turn white.
"So he was daydreaming."
Yun Chiyi said in a low voice, "Be gentle."
She quickly added, "You can hold my hand if you want."
Lin Yuwan's gaze lingered for a moment, and emotions, like thick clouds in the sky, slowly welled up in his eyes and at his fingertips. He lowered his eyes and gently stroked that slender hand in his own.
She was clean, her nails were kept in a rounded shape, her nail beds were rosy and glossy, her knuckles were soft and boneless, and her skin was snow-white and soft.
Lin Yuwan casually traced the shape of her fingers, then suddenly remembered that she only allowed him to hold her hand like this, and no one else was allowed to get close. A smile crept onto his face.
Even through the light gauze, Yun Chiyi could clearly see him with his head down, occasionally revealing a satisfied smile.
What's so funny?
Maintaining this posture, Yun Chiyi opened her lips and said, "Junior brother, a gentleman can bend and stretch. When we go to the Nine Immortals Sect later, we must not be impatient."
A suppressed laugh came from above, and Yun Chiyi heard Lin Yuwan speak slowly.
"I knew it. Every time Senior Sister calls me Junior Brother, it's to persuade me to follow your arrangements."
He hadn't mentioned it, and Yun Chiyi hadn't even noticed this detail.
Yun Chiyi continued, "You injured the people of the Nine Immortals Sect that day. They must hate you to the bone. You'd better not say anything and not provoke any conflict."
Lin Yuwan asked meaningfully, drawing out the last syllable, "Didn't Senior Sister hit him?"
Yun Chiyi said, "He provoked us first."
The thought of that sword made Yun Chiyi's displeasure resurface.
Lin Yuwan placed his hand on her pulse and noticed the change in her mood; his eyes also turned cold.
Yun Chiyi was rarely affected by outsiders anymore, but that guy named Bai Ming had troubled her for several days with just a broken sword, and even almost made her develop a mental demon.
What merit or ability does Bai Ming of the Nine Immortals Sect have? He truly deserves to die.
Before long, the boat stopped, and only Yun Chiyi and Lin Yuwan got off the boat. Ordinary people would not come here.
Looking up, one is greeted by the mountain gate of the Nine Immortals Sect. The grand black mountain gate stands at the entrance of the island, surrounded by emptiness. Black reefs encircle the ferry crossing, and gravel is laid all the way to the mountain gate. It seems that the Nine Immortals Sect has designated the entire island as its own sphere of influence.
The two had barely landed when a sharp sword aura shot through the air. Yun Chiyi raised her hand to block in front of Lin Yuwan, who pulled her wrist behind her. At the same moment, a long sword flew out, shattering the fierce sword aura.
Yun Chiyi's veil was lifted by the aftershock. She blinked her long eyelashes and looked at Lin Yuwan's tall and straight back. He handled it very easily.
"Who dares to trespass into the Nine Immortals Gate!"
Several deep voices rang out at the same time, and four young men in white robes landed in front of the mountain gate, each holding two swords and standing apart with sharp eyes.
"Wearing a bamboo-patterned blue robe and a flowing ink-black longsword, are you the one who injured Junior Brother Bai Ming?"
"They actually came here to die!"
The four gave them no time to speak. Their swords flashed with cold light, and in an instant, thick clouds covered the sun. The howling sea wind stirred up layers of waves.
Yun Chiyi turned around and stood back to back with Lin Yuwan. The splashing waves wet her hair. After all, it was inappropriate to start a fight as soon as they met on the Nine Immortals Sect's territory. She thought for a moment, then pulled Lin Yuwan behind her and tried to speak into the cold wind.
"The matter of the Star-Treading Banquet was a misunderstanding. I brought a personal letter from the sect leader with me today..."
"Alright, you're here too. Now that everyone's here, let's settle the score today."
"Take this!"
Suddenly, a hand appeared on Yun Chiyi's waist, and in the blink of an eye, their positions changed again. Lin Yuwan turned his wrist, and the dark sword in his hand emitted a ghostly light.
Lin Yuwan turned her head and asked softly, "Senior sister, what should we do now? Should we prioritize peace?"
His eyes clearly showed schadenfreude. When Yun Chiyi was on the boat, she had only casually reminded him, but he had already seized the opportunity to retort.
Yun Chiyi lowered her gaze and said, "You're not going to listen to reason. Let's hit you first."
"I'll listen to my senior sister." Lin Yuwan instantly swung her longsword.
The four disciples of the Nine Immortals Sect launched an attack from four directions, and the four swords that flew from their hands instantly created countless sword shadows.
Sword energy whipped up a hurricane, and in an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared. The sword formation, like an impregnable fortress, surrounded Yun Chiyi and Lin Yuwan. Sharp swords carrying killing intent flew from all sides and stabbed at the two of them. In the center of the sword formation, only the sound of metal clashing could be heard.
The sight of thousands of similar swords was dazzling. Yun Chiyi closed her eyes and then opened them again, staring at one of the swords and saying, "Fancy."
Lin Yuwan chuckled softly but remained silent.
The silver-white sword light and the inky black sword energy exploded from the middle at the same time, shattering the sword formation. The four swords in the formation hummed and fell around haphazardly.
"How is this possible!"
The four young men in white were stunned for a moment, their faces showing resentment.
Yun Chiyi had no desire to fight any longer, so she took the initiative to sheathe her sword and bowed first: "Yun Chiyi, a disciple of the Qingming Sect, has important matters to discuss with the Jiuqing Sect Leader. I hope my four senior brothers will inform him."
"Don't even think about entering the Nine Immortals Sect."
They blocked the mountain gate behind them.
Yun Chiyi was quite helpless. She thought she would pry open these people's heads and see if she could find a bunch of scrap metal inside. Otherwise, why were they so stubborn?
She suppressed her anger, palm up, a letter appeared in her hand, and she said again: "The matter happened so suddenly that there was no time to send a formal letter. This is a letter from the sect leader to the sect leader of Jiuqing. We can wait for our four senior brothers to pass it on. If the sect leader of Jiuqing still does not want to see us after reading the letter, we will leave on our own."
Although the Nine Immortals Sect and the Qingming Sect are secretly at odds, their leaders still have to give each other face.
The four young men looked at each other, none of them able to make a decision.
"Let them come up."
A faint voice drifted through the dispersing clouds; it was the Nine Pure Ones Sect Leader speaking.
The young people looked dazed and reluctantly stepped aside, gesturing for them to proceed.
Lin Yuwan sheathed her sword, bent down slightly, and extended her hand: "Senior sister, please."
Yun Chiyi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.
After stepping through the mountain gate, the surrounding scenery changes rapidly, with a white ladder descending from above and extending to your toes.
The Heavenly Ladder soared into the clouds, its end invisible at a glance, which was why Yun Chiyi was instructed to climb it.
It seems that this Jiuqing Sect Leader is not very magnanimous.
Yun Chiyi stepped onto the cloud ladder, while Lin Yuwan slowly descended one step at a time, leisurely following behind.
After climbing more than thirty steps, a white figure suddenly appeared not far away. Yun Chiyi looked up and saw that the silver mask on the person's face was shimmering with a ghostly light. Although she could not see his expression clearly, she could clearly sense his gaze.
As Yun Chiyi approached the person, she stepped onto the stairs, and Lin Yuwan squeezed up behind her.
The young man in white bowed and said, "I was very rude to you just now."
Yun Chiyi said, "It's alright."
Beneath the silver-white mask, the young man gazed at her with gentle eyes, occasionally glancing at Lin Yuwan beside her. He spoke softly again, "I am Bai Qi. I will lead you two up the mountain."
Upon hearing his name, Yun Chiyi frowned almost imperceptibly.
Bai Qi seemed to see her confusion and explained, "Bai Ming is my junior brother and also my own brother. I have neglected to teach him properly, which has caused him trouble. I am truly sorry."
Although they were brothers, their temperaments were completely opposite. Yun Chiyi exchanged a few more pleasantries with him.
Bai Qi walked ahead, one hand behind his back, his steps light and slow, exuding an elegant and leisurely demeanor.
Just as Yun Chiyi was about to follow, his fingertips were grasped by a warm force. The coldness in Lin Yuwan's eyes was plain to see. She asked him with her eyes what was wrong.
Lin Yuwan glanced at the white-clad figure in front of her and said in a low voice, "I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."
Yun Chiyi has never been to any of the places he has visited over the years, but perhaps she has actually seen them.
Seeing that no one was following, Bai Qi stopped. The face under the mask seemed to be smiling, and his eyes were filled with a spring-like smile.
"If you two are tired, you can take a rest."
Yun Chiyi shook her head: "Let's go pay our respects to Sect Leader Jiuqing as soon as possible."
She turned to Lin Yuwan and said, "We haven't seen the person yet. Think again about what's wrong."
Lin Yuwan was just relying on her intuition; she couldn't really make a judgment.
The three of them walked on the cloud ladder for an unknown amount of time. Yun Chiyi's legs were numb. Bai Qi finally stopped and pushed open a huge white door.
Suddenly, a white porcelain bottle appeared in Bai Qi's palm. He bent his fingers, took out a few drops of clear liquid, and gently sprinkled them on Yun Chiyi and Lin Yuwan.
The Nine Immortals Sect was once very prestigious. It is said that one had to bathe and burn incense for ninety-nine days to enter the sect. Even though it has declined somewhat, it still likes to put on a show.
