Not far away, a woman in a blue dress was standing with her hand on her chest, looking coldly at the three men in front of her.
The woman was quite beautiful, but at this moment her face was pale and her lips were faintly black, as if she had been poisoned.
The three people opposite her were all wearing cloud-patterned Taoist robes, with long swords strapped to their backs, and they looked... like disciples of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect!
"Weren't you quite arrogant just now? Why are you mute now?" The leader sneered, "Don't forget, this is Zhongzhou, not your Guanghan Palace! Nobody will tolerate your spoiled princess attitude!"
"..."
The woman merely snorted coldly, her tone aloof, "They're nothing but a bunch of scum who only know how to use despicable means. How dare they presume to preach? If they like using poison, they should go to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. What are they doing here at the Azure Sky Sword Pavilion? It's truly laughable!"
But upon hearing this, the other party was not annoyed at all; instead, they scoffed.
"Yes, yes, we despicable people are nowhere near as noble as you, Fairy Wu! We start fighting at the slightest disagreement, acting like this is your own backyard..."
Indeed, this woman is Wu Yun'er, the chief disciple of the Cold and Elegant Hall of the Guanghan Palace...
Shen Yunhao, who was not far away, listened to a few sentences and roughly guessed the plot.
Wu Yun'er's cultivation level is at the early stage of the Soul Control Realm, while the other three are only at the late stage of the Soul Condensation Realm. It is highly unlikely that they will actively seek trouble for Wu Yun'er...
From the conversation, it's clear that Wu Yun'er started the attack, only to be ambushed with poison by the other party.
"This woman, relying on her great-grandmother being the head of the Enforcement Hall, liked to look down on people in the Moon Palace. Now she deserves this calamity..."
Thinking of this, Shen Yunhao simply sat there with his hands in his pockets, watching the show without any intention of making a move.
But the conversation that followed made him freeze in shock.
Wu Yun'er's face darkened, and she said coldly, "How dare you scoundrels slander me, a disciple of the Guanghan Palace! What Ning Yuyao is is none of your business to gossip about!"
"..."
Yao'er?
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao immediately perked up his ears.
"Tch! Are we wrong?" the man sneered. "That Ning Yuyao, that genius of Guanghan Palace, wasn't she just publicly offended by some wild brat who popped up out of nowhere? What's his name... Zhu Dachang? Hahaha, what a fine name!"
"Yeah! I heard they didn't even fight back, they were just driven away!"
"What Ice Fairy? I think she's all looks and no substance. She just goes home and cries whenever something happens..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yun'er gave a cold laugh, "You have the nerve to talk about her? At least she dared to stand up, but what about you? What good are you besides gossiping like vermin in the shadows? If you're so capable, go and say it to Ning Yuyao."
"..."
The three of them froze instantly.
They only dared to talk big in private; they wouldn't actually go up there.
Although Ning Yuyao's cultivation level was not high, her feat of sending Huang Wenlong flying with a single sword strike was enough to strike fear into the hearts of most people...
"And... do you think that's all there is to your pathetic behavior?" Wu Yun'er continued, "Although I can't stand her, based on my understanding of her, if she didn't want to, she would never let anyone get close to her! What a load of rubbish, Zhu Dachang, that guy is clearly her kept man, Shen Yunhao! It's just a farce staged by those two, and it's laughable that some people actually believe it..."
"..."
He couldn't even finish a sentence that Shen Yunhao, who was watching the show from behind, couldn't understand.
He hadn't expected that although Wu Yun'er was a bit arrogant, she was quite perceptive and could spot "Zhu Dachang's" true identity at a glance.
Moreover, he was willing to stand up for Yao'er in crucial moments...
Looking at it this way, this thing suddenly looks much better!
Shen Yunhao clapped his hands and jumped off the rock. "Looks like... I won't be able to watch the show this time."
That incident was caused by his momentary lapse in judgment, which led to trouble for Ning Yuyao.
Ning Yuyao naturally wouldn't care about these gossips... but he couldn't!
As he slowly stepped forward, he immediately attracted the attention of the four people in the room.
"Oh? Another busybody has shown up?"
The leading disciple of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect glanced at Shen Yunhao, noticing his coarse clothes, bulging muscles resembling a physical cultivator, and relatively weak aura. He coldly said, "What? Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? Let me give you a piece of advice: mind your own business!"
The burly man disguised as Shen Yunhao shook his head and said in a calm tone, "I just want to ask, in this Sword Tomb, you can't gain points by defeating others, so why waste time?"
"That's nonsense! If this crazy woman hadn't attacked us first, who would want to waste time with her!" The man glanced at Wu Yun'er again. "Even if we can't get the points, as long as we destroy this jade token, this fairy from the Guanghan Palace will naturally be gone! It'll save us from causing trouble again later!"
Wu Yun'er gritted her teeth in anger, "Despicable and shameless! You slandered the reputation of my Guanghan Palace behind my back and even dared to use poison to plot against me! You have completely disgraced the Taixuan Dao Sect!"
Shen Yunhao remained expressionless, changed his position, and subtly moved behind Wu Yun'er.
His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a chilling undertone: "Oh? Just because of a verbal dispute, you want to destroy someone's jade tablet and cut off their path to enlightenment? The Tai Xuan Dao Sect's actions are indeed domineering."
As he spoke, his left hand, which was hanging at his side, flicked his finger in a very subtle way!
A faint, almost imperceptible blue light shot out and instantly entered Wu Yun'er's back!
Wu Yun'er's body stiffened abruptly, her eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
The leading disciple, oblivious to anything amiss, assumed Shen Yunhao was provoking him and sneered, "Overbearing? I'm too lazy to waste words with you. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way! Otherwise, I'll send you away too!"
Seeing Wu Yun'er's condition improve instantly, Shen Yunhao felt relieved.
A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips, and his voice suddenly rose, filled with undisguised contempt: "You? A few of you who only dare to gossip behind people's backs, do you even deserve to use the word 'domineering'? I despise vermin like you the most! The Tai Xuan Dao Sect, if your sect leader knew, he would probably be so ashamed that he would prostrate himself and commit seppuku..."
"You bastard!"
"court death!"
Shen Yunhao's merciless words seemed to ignite a powder keg, instantly enraging the three Tai Xuan Dao Sect disciples!
"Damn it, cripple him!"
The triangular-eyed disciple roared, and all three of them drew their swords at the same time!
The sword flashed, carrying a sharp killing intent, and fiercely stabbed towards Shen Yunhao!
"Damn it... it's you scum!"
Although Wu Yun'er was puzzled by Shen Yunhao's sudden help, she didn't have time to think about it. With a sharp cry, she drew a piece of cold moonlight from her long sword and slashed forward fiercely!
Having just come down from the Chronicles of Wind and Cloud, and without the restriction of poison, the terrifying sword aura instantly made the three opponents' scalps tingle!
"Holy crap! When did she get better?"
