Chapter 410: Senior brother, it makes sense
The sun was scorching hot and dust covered the sky. After crossing Yu Guan, seven hundred miles east of Tian’an City, the beautiful mountains and rivers transformed into a desert with yellow sand and no animals.
Whizzing–
The four flying swords clung to the ground and passed through the sandy plain, raising waves of sand and dust. The poisonous scorpions, which were originally looking for prey, immediately buried themselves in the sand and hid after hearing the sound.
On the flying sword, Ye Anping wore a bamboo hat on his head and a khaki windproof faceband, his eyes wary of all disturbances in the sandy plain. Xue Tianqiao, who was hung by her collar, had just stuck her head out and ate a mouthful of sand, then she got back into his clothes and couldn’t come out. She also pushed up a round ball on the abdomen of her clothes. It looked like she was pregnant.
The territory of the Central Domain, in terms of area alone, was twice that of the Southern Domain and five times that of the Western Domain. However, most of the land was deserted with yellow sand and dunes, and the closer it got to the east, the more desolate it became.
Four people and one fox were flying towards the east, seeing the sun was about to set——
Boom–! !
Behind a dune about ten miles away, the sudden fire and dust caused everyone to turn their heads and look over.
Roar–!!
Just hearing a roar like a dragon, a sand dragon jumped into the sky from behind the dune, and at the same time it brought out dozens of golden auras. It seemed that a group of swordsmen were fighting with the sand dragon, and were still in a tough fight.
Judging from the size of the sand dragon, it should be just a young dragon. Its cultivation level was roughly equivalent to that of a person in the late stage of foundation building, but it had no brains.
Ye Anping thought about it for a while and finally decided to take a detour. He had no reason to help. Besides, there were too many swordsmen on the sandy plain. If he helped a group of white-eyed wolves, it would still cause trouble for them.
So, he quickly signaled to his junior sister and others who were following him, telling them to leave it alone.
But…
Feng Yudie squinted her eyes for a while, then suddenly shrank her head and quickly approached with her sword:
“That group of people seems to be disciples of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect… I just saw a person who was knocked away by a sand dragon and was wearing yellow clothes.”
“?”
Ye Anping was stunned for a moment when he heard this and then turned to look at the group of cultivators fighting with the sand dragon. He didn’t see it.
The news from Li Longling said that the Moon Shadow Sword Sect was led by Yun Tianchong and Yun Yiyi to Donghuang. It stood to reason that such a juvenile sand dragon would not be taken action by Yun Tianchong. Yun Jiujiu can solve it with one sword…
How are these people…
Could it be that something happened to Yun Yiyi and the others?
Ye Anping was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and signaled to his junior sister and Xiao Yunluo behind him, and then led the three of them to change the direction of the flying sword and flew toward the dune.
…
Boom–!!
Sa——!
There were bursts of sword wind and constant fire. Dozens of early-stage foundation-building cultivators wearing the golden robes of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect not only swung their swords at the sand dragon that was dozens of times larger than themselves, but every sword falling on its scales could slightly damage the surface of the sand dragon.
“Get away, get away!! Why are you flying here…”
“Ah! Senior brother you!”
“”Ah–!””
The two sword-wielding Moon Shadow Sword Sect disciples failed to cooperate well and collided with each other in mid-air. As the sand dragon moved around, several more disciples of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect were knocked off their feet by the flying swords, which heavily smashed a deep hole in the sand.
“Brother! Go and chop off its eyes!! Blind it first.”
“I know! It doesn’t give me a chance to get close!”
“Ahhhh——!!”
Either because they had no experience in dealing with such a large monster, or because it was their first time encountering this kind of sand dragon, these dozens of disciples of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect were all at a loss at this moment.
Just when everyone thought that they might die today…
Boom——
A dragon thunder fell from the sky and hit the sand dragon’s forehead directly, covering his whole body. After the dragon thunder disappeared, three flying swords leaped toward the sand dragon’s head from three directions like scattered flowers.
“Junior sister, on your right.”
Ye Anping gave a calm order and took advantage of the opportunity that Xiao Yunluo used her magic to seize. He and Pei Lianxue held the spirit sword in their hands and directly slashed the left and right eyes of the sand dragon, taking away the sight. The sand dragon shook its body in pain, but couldn’t control it. It hit the ground heavily, and then Feng Yudie used her spiritual sword to cut it into two pieces at seven inches.
However, within a few breaths, the sand dragon, which had caused headaches to the disciples of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, had lost its vitality lay on the sand, and stopped moving.
Ye Anping’s sword fell to the ground, shook off the blood on the spiritual sword in his hand, put it into the storage bag, and then turned to look at the scarred Moon Shadow Sword Sect disciples around him.
These people now seemed to have just come out of the battlefield. Their golden robes were full of holes, and the spiritual swords in their hands were either curled or broken. He found a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation disciple who was not seriously injured and walked over.
“What happened?”
Looking at Ye Anping’s clothes, the Sword Sect disciple was still a little wary, but after noticing his cultivation in the core formation stage, he quickly stood up and saluted:
“Thank you for your help, senior. I am a disciple of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect at Yishui Peak…”
Ye Anping didn’t want to chat with him, so he raised his hand to stop and asked, “Yishui Peak… Are you from Yun Yiyi? Where is the eldest lady in your family?”
The Sword Sect disciple opened his eyes slightly and carefully looked at Ye Anping again. He seemed to be considering his words. After being silent for a long time, he asked, “…Senior, do you know Miss Yun?”
Seeing how vigilant this person was, Ye Anping felt that asking like this would take a long time, so he simply showed his Xuanxing Sect identity card and said, “Xuanxing Sect disciple, just answer whatever I ask. There is no need to be so vigilant.”
After seeing the identity card, the man relaxed a little, exhaled heavily, and then quickly answered:
“We got separated from Miss Yun…”
“Separated? What’s going on… Isn’t your sect master here? Can he get separated?”
The man looked a little helpless and replied:
“Ah… Reporting to the seniors… The juniors left the sect with the sect master and the three eldest ladies to go to Donghuang. However, just after crossing the boundary, they encountered a big wind and sand, and more than a thousand disciples were separated. After that, we accidentally entered the lair of the sand dragon on the way. Although the sect leader was there, there were too many of them, and many of the remaining disciples were washed away, and then…”
When Ye Anping heard this, he raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and then pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling very tired.
Even without listening, he could probably guess what happened to Yun Yiyi and his party.
There was no such thing in the game, and the Moon Shadow Sword Sect had never been to the Central Domain at all. This matter should have been unexpected by him, but for some reason, Ye Anping didn’t feel surprised at all…
He was silent for a while and then asked again:
“…For how long did you separate?”
“Back to senior, we have been separated from the eldest lady and the sect master for seven or eight days.”
“…”
Ye Anping was speechless. He looked left and right at the several Sword Sect disciples who were looking at him. He took out a blank map from his storage bag, scanned it a few times with his sword finger, and threw it into the man’s hand:
“You try your best to find other lost Sword Sect’s disciples. Follow the route on this map and you can return to the Sword Sect safely. The rest is none of my business.”
“Ah… But senior, we want to…”
“You are also a burden when you go to Donghuang.” Ye Anping pointed sideways at the sand dragon lying on the ground with his chin, “A sand dragon can injure twenty or so of you like this, if you go to Donghuang, you will just die.”
“Can…”
“No, but, if any elders ask you when you go back, just say that you met the disciples of Xuanxing Sect, and they will let you go back.”
“…Yes.”
After Ye Anping saw that he had agreed, he glanced at the other Sword Sect disciples, sighed again, and called to his junior sister and Feng Yudie who were whipping the body of the sand dragon, preparing to take them on their way. However, seeing that they were about to leave, the Sword Sect disciple was stunned for a moment, and quickly stepped forward to stop them:
“Senior!”
“…What?”
“May I ask some of the seniors who are going to Donghuang?” The Sword Sect disciple took out a jade wine gourd from the storage bag and presented it to him. This is the wine gourd that the second lady lost before. If these seniors can meet the eldest lady and the others…”
Ye Anping nodded slightly and looked sideways at Feng Yudie:
“Take it… it’s your wife’s.”
Feng Yudie was stunned for a moment, then frowned and cursed, “She is not my wife. If you say that again, I will be angry.”
Ye Anping shrugged slightly and smiled, stretched out his hand to take the jade wine gourd from the Sword Sect disciple, then took his junior sister and others off the ground with their swords, and continued toward the east…
…
There was a bright moon in the sky, and the moonlight illuminated the sandy plains on the ground as white as snow. A small inn stood alone on the sandy plains, with a few old red lanterns hanging under the plaque at the door swaying in the wind.
In the room on the second floor, four people were sitting around a round table, looking at each other wordlessly.
Sitting to the north was a man with long golden hair and a brocade robe. The man had sword-shaped eyebrows and blue eyes, and a pair of bright red plum blossoms with double stamens were tattooed between his eyebrows. He looked like a boy and a girl but with the sharp gaze of a man.
Yun Tianchong took a deep breath, reached for the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of tea for the bandaged man sitting in the east seat:
“Xi’er…”
Yun Xi quickly covered the teacup with her hand and glanced at her stinky father who was in the divine stage. If she hadn’t been speechless now, she would have cursed him.
Yun Tianchong looked embarrassed, and quickly picked up the teapot and walked towards Yun Jiujiu who was sitting in the west seat.
“Wine…”
But the mouth of the teacup was still covered by Yun Jiujiu. Although Yun Jiujiu was not as injured as Yun Xi, she still had a lot of bandages wrapped around her body.
Yun Tianchong smiled awkwardly, and then looked at the injured Yun Yiyi across the table:
“Yier… Let’s have a cup of tea. You can’t blame me for this…”
Yun Yiyi sighed lightly, but still gave him a favor, pushed the wine glass over, and asked him to pour herself a cup of tea.
“Father, we brought out a total of 973 disciples on this trip. However, after traveling 1,700 miles in the Central Domain, there are only more than 60 disciples left. The other disciples have all been separated. Now whether they are alive or dead, we are not sure.”
“This…”
Yun Tianchong couldn’t express his pain for a while, and he also felt that he was extremely unlucky. When the Emperor of Central Domain died, some elders in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect suggested that they could gather the remnants of the Emperor Sect’s Heavenly Execution Court who had fled to Donghuang to restore the Sword Sect’s vitality.
He thought about it and realized that it was good, so he wanted to go to Donghuang to negotiate with the Master of Heavenly Execution Pavilion.
Initially, he planned to take some Sword Sect disciples with him, but after thinking about it, Yun Yiyi and the others had never left Sword Sect before, and since he left seclusion before, the three girls were not close to him. Therefore, Yun Tianchong thought of taking them out to see the mountains and rivers of the Central Domain, just like a tour, and at the same time ease the relationship between father and daughter.
But who would have expected that this journey would be like learning from a Buddhist scripture, and it would be extremely difficult?
They encountered sandstorms, quicksand, several eight or nine-level monsters, a tide of beasts…
Especially the ninth-level monster, which was close to the strength of the late nascent soul cultivators, they buried Yun Xi directly in the ground. After he chopped down the ninth-level monster, hundreds of them dug for several hours to dig out Yun Xi.
Yun Xi’s current injuries were also due to him. As for Yun Jiujiu, when she was chopping an adult sand dragon to death, the head of the sand dragon flew out and hit Yun Jiujiu directly on top of her head…
Yun Jiujiu was getting angrier now as she thought about it, her nostrils suddenly getting bigger and smaller, and she glared at her rotten father:
“**Your grandma, next time you throw the beast’s head at me, believe it or not, I’ll bend your remaining bare pole for you!!”
“Hiss—Jiu’er, don’t say bad words… Such a good girl, how can this be…”
Snap–!
Yun Jiujiu slapped her hand on the table, causing the wine glasses in front of the four of them to jump up.
Seeing that she was about to spit, Yun Yiyi stopped her:
“Second sister, why are you so familiar with him?”
“Hmph~”
Yun Tianchong was speechless, sighed, looked at Yun Xi aside, and asked, “Xi’er, this is the route you chose… Why did we run into everything? You…”
“Third sister has bad luck, and you don’t know it.” Yun Yiyi quickly defended Yun Xi, “When we set off, I told you not to take the path Yun Xi chose, but to try to avoid the path she chose as much as possible, but what did you say at the time?”
“Well…”
“It’s okay. As long as I’m here, even if you encounter a level 12 monster, I can kill it with one sword.” Yun Yiyi looked at Yun Tianchong with an indifferent expression, “Who said this?”
“…”
Yun Tianchong looked at his three daughters, all staring at him angrily, opening and closing his lips, and then stood up quickly:
“I’m going to see how the remaining Sword Sect disciples are doing…”
None of the three responded. Yun Tianchong looked embarrassed, sighed, and quickly turned around and left through the wooden door of the wing.
Yun Yiyi looked at the two sisters next to her, then stood up, walked to the window of the wing, opened the window, and looked up at the full moon in the desert.
“Oh… It’s been almost five years…”
Her tender eyes reflected the silver moon, and she sighed long and hard, expressing the pain of lovesickness.
Yun Jiujiu, who was on the side of the table, couldn’t help covering her mouth and snickering when she saw her like this. She stood up and walked to her side, took out a new leather bag she just bought downstairs from the storage bag, and said:
“Sister, do you want to drink?”
Yun Yiyi looked back, took the leather bag, unscrewed the stopper, raised her head and took a sip, then wiped her mouth with her sleeve.
Seeing her like this, Yun Jiujiu jumped up while holding on to the window, and sat on the window edge with her back to the outside:
“Miss him again? Why don’t you take the time to go to the Hundred Lotus Sect later?”
Yun Yiyi was silent for a while, shook her head slightly, raised her hand, and pushed away the golden hair stained with wine:
“Just think I’m being pretentious and won’t go. Besides, I was the one who broke off his engagement in the first place.”
“Then why did you break off his engagement in the first place? You like him so much…”
Yun Yiyi hesitated for a while, then asked with a smile, “Then you like Feng Yu so much, why did you let her go?”
“Ah?” Yun Jiujiu’s head shrank, and the two small clogs dangling in the air stopped, “Who said I like her? She is a girl, I like a quarrel.”
“Can’t friends like me?”
Yun Jiujiu poked his nose and took a breath:
“It’s not like I like her, I just think she’s quite loyal, ha~.”
With that said, Yun Jiujiu snatched the leather bag back, raised her head, took a sip of wine, then turned her head and looked sideways at the moon in the sky. Yun Yiyi glanced at her and moved her gaze back to the moon.
The two of them said in unison:
“I don’t know what he (the woman) is doing now. “”
Yun Xi, who was at the side of the table, looked at his two sisters looking at the moon and sighing with emotion. Her face was speechless, and then she raised her only left hand that could still move and knocked on the table.
Bang bang——
Immediately, Zhang Yihe, who was waiting outside the door, gently opened the door and walked in, “Miss Third, what’s wrong?”
“…”
“Ah? Third Miss, please speak… Oh, yes, you can’t speak.”
Yun Xi’s left eye twitched, and she clenched her left hand into a fist, but then loosened it with some despair, her lips and teeth slightly opened:
“Go back to your room…”
“Great!” Zhang Yihe raised his eyebrows in response, then turned to look at Yun Jiujiu and Yun Yiyi, bowed his hands, “Eldest Miss, Second Miss, I will push Third Miss back to the house first, you guys also go to bed early…”
…
