Chapter 424: Senior Brother, Establish Prestige
The drizzle of sweet rain moistened the sand, and the sandstones in Seven Dragon Valley that had experienced thousands of years of weathering were now sprouting green buds.
Ye Anping was lying on the ground with a clear sky in his eyes. He only felt that the clothes on his back were soaked by the dewy grass. He turned his head and looked at it. A bud poked out from between the fingers of his right hand. It was fragile but it represented new life.
Suddenly a panicked shout woke up his slightly groggy head:
“Anping!!”
Xiao Yunluo was throwing herself at him at that moment, looking at his face with tears in her eyes. There was endless worry in her eyes. The neat bangs on her forehead were divided into three sections by two deer-like horns, like her hairline. The line was pulled a little higher.
Although she was in the posture of a half-dragon, she looked a little embarrassed at the moment.
“Isn’t this possible?”
Ye Anping’s eyes were filled with tenderness. He slowly raised his hand, smoothed her purple hair briefly, and then lightly touched the pair of dragon horns. When his fingers touched the glass-like dragon horns, Xiao Yunluo suddenly realized that she had grown a pair of horns. She then raised her hand to touch her temples in confusion, but because she saw the horns on her wrist, and a few scattered pieces of five-color dragon scales shocked her.
“Ah?!”
Ye Anping looked at the confusion on Xiao Yunluo’s face at that moment, and let out a sigh of helplessness. He didn’t know whether it was because the hero Xuanji hid it too much from her, or because she was too ambitious and had never had the urge to pursue her life experience before…
“Well…”
In the next second, it was as if the emotions that had been accumulated were released. Two big tears squeezed out of the corners of Xiao Yunluo’s eyes. She threw her face directly into Ye Anping’s chest and burst into tears:
“Aaahhhhhhhhh-!! I’m so scared!! Anping!! I’m so scared!!”
“…”
Ye Anping was almost poked in the nose by her dragon horn. He was startled and turned his head to avoid it. Then he breathed a sigh of relief again, gently smoothed Xiao Yunluo’s back hair, and said comfortingly:
“It’s okay, it’s okay… The young master of Xuanxing Sect is still crying.”
He glanced away slightly and looked to one side. Yun Yiyi was also standing a little further away, watching, but she did not disturb the two of them.
Ye Anping nodded slightly and thanked her for catching him and Xiao Yunluo.
Yun Yiyi also smiled with narrowed eyes and nodded in response.
“…”
“…”
After exchanging glances, Ye Anping once again looked at Xiao Yunluo, who was crying in his arms and recalled the memory in the game plot…
Thousands of years ago, the dragon clan was defeated by the human race who were still in the wilderness. The human race was proud of slaying dragons, using dragon bones as swords, dragon meat to refine elixirs, dragon scales to refine weapons, and dragon hearts to nourish the territory…
The last dragon left in the world had no choice but to compromise, and found a cultivator in the human race who was only in the Qi refining period, and made a deal with him——
Use your own dragon body to nurture the territory of thousands of miles until your dragon spirit dies.
This territory was now the “Western Domain”.
The dragon’s only request was that the human cultivator would help it preserve its bloodline so that when the human race was destroyed, it could make a comeback and slay the human cultivators in the world just like the human race slayed the dragon.
The human cultivator agreed. He was a former owner of the Heavenly Dao Scroll, and he also relied on the Black Dragon to establish his sect and named it:
——”Xuanxing Sect”
“Xiao Yunluo” was the descendant left by that Black Dragon.
In the thousands of years since the Black Dragon died, the successive heads of the Xuan Xing Sect tried their best to hatch her as their spiritual pet, but no one succeeded.
Until that Si Xuanji appeared. In a sense, Si Xuanji was also one of those greedy people who covet the mysterious dragon’s spiritual energy. But the difference was that she succeeded.
There was no such thing as the former Xuanxing Sect masters, who used real fire to roast them or condensed strange formations to try to induce the birth of dragon eggs.
Si Xuanji just spent two years in the back mountain of Xuanxing Sect, holding the dragon egg like an old hen and accompanying it, using the heaven and earth as its bed and the four seasons as its quilt.
Then——Xiao Yunluo broke out of her shell. She did not come to the world in the body of a dragon, but in a body similar to Si Xuanji, and then became the young master of the Xuanxing Sect.
…
Seeing Xiao Yunluo hugging him tightly and crying, Ye Anping thought for a while and decided to leave this story to Si Xuanji to tell her. It would be better for Si Xuanji to say this matter than for him.
After Xiao Yunluo felt a little calmer, he spoke:
“Yunluo, go back and ask your mother about your life experience.”
“…”
“If possible, I also want to meet your mother. Can you introduce her to me?” Ye Anping turned away and sighed, “I have to meet your mother anyway…”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yunluo sniffed and nodded blankly:
“Well… I’ll take you there.”
Ye Anping stretched out his right little finger: “Then it’s settled.”
“Um!”
Xiao Yunluo hooked her right little finger with his, narrowed her eyes, and smiled, then moved away from Ye Anping, held Ye Anping’s shoulders, and pulled him up from the ground.
Yun Yiyi on the side also hurriedly stepped forward. Each of them held one of Ye Anping’s hands, leaned on his shoulders, and looked at him.
Yun Yiyi also pinched Ye Anping’s wrist, briefly diagnosed his pulse, and asked, “Go back to recuperate first? You need to rest…”
Xiao Yunluo was stunned for a moment as if she suddenly remembered something. She looked at the pair of dragon horns on her forehead with her eyes, and murmured with a red face:
“Well… Anping, go back and have a good rest. I will take care of you.”
“Young Master Xiao, you must be tired too. Can I take care of your husband tonight?”
“It’s okay.” Xiao Yunluo met Yun Yiyi’s gaze, “He is also my husband, and I didn’t do anything.”
Looking at the two girls holding him, Ye Anping felt inexplicably tired. He had a premonition that he might not be able to rest tonight. He sighed slightly and interrupted:
“Before resting, there are still things to do. Those who are hiding among the Heavenly Extinction Court disciples and delivering messages to the demon cultivators are still useful… Anyway, take me back to the camp first.”
“”Um…””
The two nodded in agreement and did not use flying swords at all. Instead, they used body control techniques to lead Ye Anping toward a cave deep in the Seven Dragons Valley that was not affected by the battle.
…
————
Tick tock…tick tock…
Drops of nectar dripped from the stalactites, and nearly a thousand bonfires were burning in a huge cave. Countless yellow tents stood along the terrace-like terrain in the cave, and four immortal boats were neatly arranged on one side.
More than 3,000 foundation-building cultivators wearing Heavenly Extinction Court Daoist robes were sitting around the bonfire in silence at this moment, and the noisy sounds echoed in this cave that was nearly thirty acres in size.
Or panic: “I’m going to die!! I’m going to die!!! I don’t want to die!! I still have my parents -”
Or calmly: “Don’t panic, listen to the noise, it seems that the fight is over… If the demon cultivator rushes in soon, we will blow up the entire cave and escape as much as we can.”
Or they were passionate and bellicose: “What the hell, Master Xiao, the others, and that guy named Ye, don’t let us go out and have a good time with the demon cultivators? Don’t hold me back, I’m going to kill the demons!!”
…
The earth was shaking just now, which frightened many people and also inspired many people.
In a corner, three men wearing Heavenly Extinction Court Daoist robes were sitting in front of a bonfire, looking around with sly eyebrows and whispering:
“Depending on the situation, Young Master Gui should have killed the man named Ye. You guys find an opportunity to attract the Heavenly Extinction Court disciples who are guarding the door. I will go out to inform Young Master Gui of the location here. This will prevent Young Master Gui from searching for a long time in the Seven Dragons Valley.”
“Well, the formation that the Young Master of the Xuanxing Sect asked us to set up in the Seven Dragons Valley is quite powerful. It has at least twelve formation eyes. Is it some kind of miraculous magic? I heard them say that it was a kind of the former Emperor Sect. The formation is coming…”
“By the way, did you hear the dragon roar just now? I always felt like there was a dragon roar outside just now…”
Two of them shook their heads in unison: “No. “”
“Oh…”
The three of them discussed for a while. Because the caves in the Seven Dragons Valley were connected, they found the exit closest to them. Two of them took out their drinks and walked over to talk to the two Heavenly Extinction Court disciples who were guarding the entrance of the cave.
“Senior brothers, why don’t we take a look at this place, and you go and rest for a while…”
The two Heavenly Extinction Court disciples looked at the three of them and did not refuse. They raised their hands and saluted:
“It’s nice to meet a few junior brothers. Didn’t you just join Heavenly Extinction Court a while ago?”
“Ahaha… It’s true that we just passed the trial not long ago, and we met…”
“If that’s the case, then it will be a burden to the junior brothers…”
As he spoke, suddenly a shout filled with joy came from a cave on the other side:
——”Young Master Xiao and the others are back!!!”
Although the cave was large, it was relatively closed, so this shout was transmitted to the ears of all Heavenly Extinction Court disciples at this moment after countless echoes.
!!!
The three people just now had a look of disbelief on their faces, and together with the two Heavenly Extinction Court disciples next to them, they looked in the direction of the shouts.
Ye Anping, wearing a black brocade robe, was the first to walk in from the cave. He deliberately changed into a new robe before returning.
Xiao Yunluo wore a gauze scarf on her head to cover up the dragon horns on her head, and she walked with Yun Yiyi on both sides of him. Behind them were the twenty or so disciples of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect who initially followed them out to play with the twelve formations.
The Heavenly Extinction Court disciples were not allowed to participate, mainly because Ye Anping didn’t know how many demon cultivator spies were hidden in this team of 3,000 people.
As for these Moon Shadow Sword Sect disciples, they all belonged to the Sword Sect Yishui Peak. Yun Yiyi remembered everyone’s faces and names, so there was no risk of being impersonated.
Because the entrance of the cave was at a high place, Ye Anping could glance at all the Heavenly Extinction Court disciples in the cave at a glance after walking in. Even after scanning around, he immediately noticed that in front of another entrance, there were two people beside three Heavenly Extinction Court disciples standing together.
He looked at the three people, took a deep breath, and used his spiritual power to spread his voice:
“The young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect and the fifty cultivators who were chasing after us were all destroyed in my hands. Here is the order to take a day off today and continue on the road tomorrow. After passing the Seven Dragons Valley, we will reach a flat plain.”
After the sound fell, there was silence in the cave.
Ye Anping used the far-sight technique to watch the expressions on the faces of the three people opposite him gradually change from shock to horror, and then they seemed to have seen something indescribable. They stayed in place and identified that. The identities of the three people.
He raised his hand, pointed at the three people, and called out:
“Yiyi.”
“Sword Sect disciples, listen to the order and take down those three people!!”
“””Yes!”””
In an instant, the Sword Sect disciples behind Ye Anping and the others all stood up and jumped up, rushing directly to the three people and taking out the iron chains from their storage bags without hesitation.
Probably out of too much shock, the three of them stayed on the spot the whole time. It wasn’t until they were tied into three silkworm chrysalis by the chains of the Sword Sect disciples that they realized what had happened. They all screamed and roared:
“Ahhhhh——!! Impossible!! You… Ah——!”
Just like the punishment method of “Horse dragging people”, the Sword Sect disciples dragged the three people directly by dragging the chains, flew over the heads of the Heavenly Extinction Court disciples below, returned to Ye Anping, and threw the three people heavily at Ye Anping’s feet.
Ye Anping squinted at the three of them and chuckled:
“You three have worked hard along the way. If it hadn’t been for the letter sent by the three of you, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me, causing Gui Qinghe and even the entire Ghost Spirit Sect to despise me.”
One of them wanted to retort: “Impossible! You…”
But just after he uttered five words, Ye Anping raised his hand slightly, and a Sword Sect disciple kicked his shoe directly into the man’s mouth.
“Ahem——!”
Then, Ye Anping once again amplified his voice into the ears of everyone in the cave:
“I don’t expect you to identify the other demon cultivators in the team. I also say this to all the demon cultivators present here. Please immediately send a message to all the elders of the Ghost Spirit Sect and the sect leader Ghost Tomb Seven of your family who have set foot in the Central Domain at this moment.
“Heavenly Extinction Court has never escaped. Heavenly Extinction Court left Donghuang this time just to pay homage to the new emperor of the Emperor Sect.
“Also, the Central Domain is not the back garden of demon cultivators. Ghost Qinghe and the fifty people he brought are the consequences of their attempt to trample the Immortal family.”
Having said this, Ye Anping nodded slightly to the Sword Sect disciples on both sides:
“Throw them out, don’t kill them.”
“”Yes! “”
Then, he took Xiao Yunluo and Yun Yiyi from a high place to the largest tent not far away, lifted the curtain cage at the tent door, and walked in.
However, after the curtain cage blocked the three people entering the tent, the originally silent chatter of the Heavenly Extinction Court disciples instantly resounded throughout the cave.
Ye Anping let out a long breath, his feet softened, and he slumped down on the seat. As for what was being said outside, he didn’t care much. After all, his authority was established.
From now on, when the Heavenly Extinction Court arrives at Xuanxing Sect, at least they do not take him, the young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect, seriously.
Yun Yiyi quickly took out the teapot from one side, made him a pot of tea, took it over, and said:
“Husband, you are just so handsome.”
“Well, Anping…”
Ye Anping showed a helpless smile and replied:
“I am self-aware. I am not the kind of person who is suitable for showing off in front of everyone. I don’t have a general position. I can only be a counselor at most. Brother Liang is suitable for this kind of role of giving orders in front of thousands of people. He is relatively strong. Well…”
Yun Yiyi smiled, walked behind him, and squeezed his shoulders:
“Who said that civil servants can’t give orders to the armed forces?”
“My small body is not suitable for taking care of too many people. I lack that kind of murderous aura. This is not something that can be developed overnight.”
Ye Anping relaxed and said:
“Yiyi, in a moment you can send a message to Jiujiu and Yunxi, telling them that we killed the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, and let them…”
“If you don’t tell me, I will do it.” Yun Yiyi interrupted with a smile, “The retreat of the three armies will inevitably lead to a lack of military morale. This news of killing the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect can help Jiujiu, Yun Xi and the others stabilize their situation. Those Heavenly Extinction Court disciples following them, especially Yun Xi’s team of tens of thousands, also have no idea how many demon cultivator spies are hidden.”
“Um.”
“Anping, don’t think so much. Take a rest for a while. I’m here. Just leave the rest to me. After all, I am also the next head of the Sword Sect. Taking care of these three thousand people is a piece of cake. ”
Yun Yiyi looked at Xiao Yunluo beside her, smiled slightly proudly, and walked out of the tent to arrange the next chores.
Xiao Yunluo saw that all her work had been taken away by Yun Yiyi. She was also the young master of the Xuanxing Sect. She could do these things…
“Anping, Lianxue said before that every time you experience something, your Yang Qi will…”
Ye Anping was a little tired now. Hearing that she had impure thoughts, he quickly stood up and walked toward the bed on the side of the tent:
“I’ll take a nap first. I’m so tired.”
“Ah… Oh… Then I’ll guard you, you can rest peacefully…”
…
