Chapter 528: Junior sister, attacked
Boom… boom…
The sound of distant bells shook the snow falling from the mountains and forests, and also woke up Ye Anping who was concentrating with his eyes closed on the watchtower on the top of the mountain.
He slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the still-breathing heating stove in front of him. Gu Mingxin and Feng Yudie were leaning on his left and right shoulders, wrapped in a blanket and taking a nap together.
Seeing no reaction from the two of them, Ye Anping thought he was hallucinating, so he didn’t think much about it. He just tightened the slippery blanket again, closed his eyes again, and took a deep breath.
Xiao Tian and Xue sneaked in to inquire about the news. It had been more than two hours, and they haven’t come back yet.
Therefore, he did not know the details of the situation in the Yueluo Gorge.
Ye Anping could only wait and see how He Qingjiao planned to deal with his junior sister and Yun Luo.
However, judging from the information he had now, if He Qingjiao was normal, he would most likely choose to defend Yueluo Gorge.
After all, most of the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect in Yueluo Gorge were core formation cultivators who specialized in alchemy.
Although the overall cultivation level was not low, and there were several Nascent Soul stage cultivators among them, facing the Heavenly Cloud Peak’s sword cultivators disciples brought by Yunluo and the others, there were only ten demon cultivating disciples who could be said to be capable of fighting two.
Avoiding the battle and sticking to the defense was currently the best option in Yueluo Gorge, bar none.
However, he could not hold his breath for more than half an hour before the distant sound of bells entered the watchtower through the window again.
Boom——!
“…”
Ye Anping didn’t think he was hallucinating this time and frowned slightly as he looked toward the window.
Feng Yudie and Gu Mingxin were also awakened by the sound of the bell.
Feng Yudie sucked in the drool that dripped from the corner of her mouth due to her sweet dream, and asked drowsily:
“Young Master Ye, are there any bells…”
“Well…” Gu Mingxin looked at Ye Anping’s handsome face and said with a smile, “It’s the bell that summons the disciples… There are four kinds of bells in the Heavenly Demon Sect. The one just now should be for the expedition…”
Before she could finish her words, a golden ball rushed directly through the wall and shouted in an urgent tone:
“Anping, just now the elders of Yueluo Gorge summoned all the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect inside, and they seemed to be preparing to confront Xiao girl and the others. I just heard from Black Idiot that Xiao girl and the others are less than a thousand miles away from here.”
“Hmm…” Ye Anping lowered his eyes and thought for a while, looked around, and then asked, “Where is Xue?”
“Black Idiot asked me to come back and tell you that it was staring at He Qingjiao.”
Xiao Tian looked very serious. After recalling for a while, he pointed at Gu Mingxin and continued:
“Anping, that He Qingjiao’s blood is stronger than that of this tough-mouthed black girl. She looks like the body of the sword and heart written in the scroll of heavenly Dao… just like Yun Kunwu.”
?
Gu Mingxin was stunned for a moment: “What does a tough-mouthed black girl mean?”
When Feng Yudie heard it mention “Yun Kun Wu”, she inexplicably remembered what she had experienced in the Sword Sect a long time ago. That person named “Yun Kun Wu” almost snatched Xiao Tian away…
“Young Master Ye…”
“…It’s fine.”
Ye Anping comforted her softly, then stood up, walked around Xiao Tian, and walked to the window of the watchtower, pulled out the window bolt, and pushed the window open with both hands.
Squeak——
The biting cold wind blew in through the cracks in the window, dazzling the eyes.
Ye Anping squinted his eyes and looked into Yueluo Gorge. His eyes passed through the heavy snow falling in the sky, and he saw that the originally dark canyon was already lit up with circles of lights. With the beauty of Yueluo Gorge, the huge alchemy furnace was the center and was arranged outward.
Then, several flying boats slowly rose from the canyon, accompanied by countless flying swords holding bloody streams of light around them, and a black mass poured into the mountain gate of Yueluo Gorge.
Ye Anping thought about it for a while, then took off the magic weapon used to hide his aura from his waist, and cast a long-sight spell to look at the bow of the leading airship.
He Qingjiao stood alone at the bow of the ship, against the wind, looking at the horizon covered by dark clouds in the northwest. However, she immediately felt Ye Anping’s peeping gaze and turned around to meet his eyes even though they were thousands of feet away.
Ye Anping didn’t hide, and neither did she.
It wasn’t until the flying boat sailed far away that the two people’s eyes were cut off.
Seeing that He Qingjiao had no intention of rushing over in person, Ye Anping roughly guessed her temperament.
She was really not a bit arrogant. In He Qingjiao’s mind, only Gu Mingxin could be called her opponent in this world, right?
“Sigh…”
Ye Anping let out a breath. Originally, he thought that He Qingjiao would lead the Heavenly Demon Sect to defend Yueluo Gorge, so he planned to help his junior sister open the door from the inside after they arrived.
But she came out on her own, so it saved him some effort.
Ye Anping turned around and looked behind him. Feng Yudie and Gu Mingxin had also put away their clothes at this moment, put the hats and face towels around them again, walked over and asked:
“Young Master Ye, shall we chase after him?”
“Um……”
Ye Anping closed the window, turned around, and led the two of them down the stairs on the side, pushed open the door, stepped on the flying sword, chased several mighty Heavenly Demon Sect flying boats, and hid in the eastern domain. Between the sky and the earth falling heavily with snow.
…
——-
Among the black mountains, seven immortal boats, three in front and four behind, broke through the sky with mighty force. The flags embroidered with the Xuanxing Sect’s star and moon totem were flying in the sky. The disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Peak were holding boxes and walking around with swords among the immortal boats.
On the bow of the immortal boat in the center of the front row.
“”Greetings Sister Pei! “”
“Ah… Well, hello…”
Two Heavenly Cloud Peak disciples who were rushing to do chores saw Pei Lianxue coming to relax in the wind. They bowed down and clasped their fists respectfully, and saluted her as a senior, with smiles on their faces.
On the other hand, Pei Lianxue’s face remained expressionless, and she even didn’t know how to respond. She waved her hands in a panic, nodded, and walked around faster.
Because Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo had directly killed the demon cultivators in one direction in the past few months, her name could be said to be known to everyone in the Xuanxing Sect, especially the disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Peak.
Many people were proud of being her junior brothers and sisters. Even Pei Lianxue didn’t know that she now had a lot of her little fans in the Xuanxing Sect.
To some extreme, they felt that the young master of the Young Master Sect was not worthy of her, and wanted to put an end to her injustice…
In addition to those who become fans of Pei Lianxue because of her strength, many of them like her temperament, unlike other Nascent Soul elders of the Xuanxing Sect who almost ask them when they see them, “Have you had any problems recently? Practice well?”, and they are basically very fierce.
“Senior Pei is beautiful and gentle… So nice.”
“Yeah… I don’t know if Senior Pei will accept disciples. Every time Elder Qin teaches swordsmanship, he has to whip us. It would be great if Senior Pei taught Heavenly Cloud Peak…”
“I heard that there was a Junior Sister Liang in the Heavenly Cloud Peak who practiced swordsmanship with Senior Sister Pei. How about we go back to Xuanxing Sect and ask her if she can take us with her?”
…
Pei Lianxue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the two Heavenly Cloud Peak Junior Sisters turn around and get out of the cabin and out of sight.
She was not used to dealing with people saluting her. In the past, her senior brother would usually be there to help her, but now that her senior brother was away, she felt nervous every time someone came to greet her.
Pei Lianxue pursed her lips, then walked up to the high platform at the bow of the ship alone, looking into the distance along the wind.
“Stinky Brother, why haven’t you come to me yet… Ugh…”
Pei Lianxue puffed up her cheeks and suddenly made up her mind. After seeing her senior brother, she would stay with him for three days and three nights. Even when he went to the toilet, she would lie on his back and stay with him…
However, senior brother has been abstinent a long time ago, so there is no need to squat…
Then take a bath and sleep with your senior brother…
Pei Lianxue bent down, rested her elbows on the railing, looked into the distance, and gradually began to have wild thoughts.
It’s been a long time since I practiced dual cultivation with my senior brother, and I don’t know if my senior brother’s yang energy is important?
If senior brother’s yang energy explodes outside, wouldn’t that Second Idiot just sit back and enjoy the results…
“Woo~~~”
Pei Lianxue frowned slightly and suddenly thought about it again.
She passed by the door of Yunluo’s house a few days ago and heard Yunluo calling “Anping~Anping~~” inside the house.
At that time, she thought her senior brother had come back secretly, so she kicked Yun Luo’s locked door away and broke in. Yunluo was so frightened that her face turned pale…
Xiao Yunluo explained for a long time and said that it was just because she was too lonely not seeing her senior brother all the time. She asked her if she wasn’t lonely?
Pei Lianxue didn’t know either. Although she was very upset when she couldn’t see her senior brother, she couldn’t even talk about being lonely… And her senior brother was not dead…
I really don’t understand Yunluo…
Tread——
Two footsteps sounded from behind, and then Xiao Yunluo’s voice came.
“Lianxue… Aren’t you cold here?”
Pei Lianxue came to her senses, turned around, and saw Xiao Yunluo and Liang Zhu coming over and said:
“I played with my senior brother when I was a kid, so I got used to it.”
Liang Zhu’s expression was rare and relaxed at the moment. He had made a lot of money by following Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo. He was responsible for collecting the loot wherever the two of them attacked.
Although the items obtained must be handed over to the Xuanxing Sect’s Spiritual Object Pavilion for inventory and then distribution, there were many opportunities for kickbacks.
However, these kickbacks were all trivial, mainly due to following Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo. He had never been in danger once, and he didn’t need to do anything like fights. Pei Lianxue could handle it all by herself.
He only needed to be responsible for detecting the enemy’s situation, and then transporting the demonic cultivator’s spiritual stone and weapon…
“About a few hundred miles away, there’s Yueluo Gorge. According to what I’ve found out before, Yueluo Gorge is full of core formation cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect, and they don’t have much fighting power… The only one who’s a bit trickier is Yue Wuming, a Dharma cultivator in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he is the elder in charge of Yueluo Gorge.”
Xiao Yunluo nodded and said:
“Lianxue, don’t worry too much when the time comes, just rush forward. Brother Liang and I will mobilize the disciples from the Heavenly Cloud Peak to assist you…”
Liang Zhu glanced at her and said: “Young Master Xiao, I can’t stand the sound of your big brother…”
“Both Anping and Lianxue call you that. Anping is Liang Xiaoliu, Lianxue is Liang Xiaoxue, then I am Liang Xiaoluo…”
“…”
Listening to her words, Liang Zhu always felt that he would not live long. He quickly waved his hands to express “Goodbye”, and then continued seriously:
“When we get here, Yue Wuming has probably received the news. In terms of combat strength, he will probably stick to the inside of Yueluo Gorge. Although there is no big formation inside, there are dark holes in all directions. Pei girl, don’t rush in either. It’s not a good thing to be surrounded…”
“Okay!!”
“Then I’ll go back to the cabin first.”
Liang Zhu bowed his hands, turned around, and prepared to walk off the stage toward the cabin.
After watching him go away, Xiao Yunluo smiled and walked to Pei Lianxue, leaned close to her and whispered:
“Lianxue, do you know? I heard from the Heavenly Cloud Peak disciples before that when we were crossing the river, the Empress kept writing letters to him. You say, he and Tong Zilan…”
?
Pei Lianxue twisted her eyebrows and looked at her, then asked in confusion: “Yunluo, why are you asking about this?”
“Isn’t this boring… It only took us half a month to cross the river, and we didn’t encounter any demon cultivators or monsters. I have nothing to do in the cabin every day, so I just listen to these gossips. Lianxue, are you not interested? Wasn’t he the emperor’s personal bodyguard before?”
Pei Lianxue tilted her head expressionlessly and said:
“Brother Liang is Ahting’s adoptive father, and Elder Tong is Ahting’s biological mother. I think it’s quite normal…”
Speaking of this, Pei Lianxue suddenly saw out of the corner of her eye a flying sword carrying a stream of light outside the bow of the ship, hurriedly heading toward her.
A Xuanxing Sect disciple who had gone to the front to inquire about the news in advance fell in front of her and Xiao Yunluo with a panic look on his face.
Seeing her anxious face, Xiao Yunluo immediately put on the air of a young master, straightened her chest and raised her head, frowned and stepped forward and asked:
“What’s wrong?”
“Young Master Xiao, there are about a thousand demon cultivators in Yueluo Gorge. They have left Yueluo Gorge and are heading toward us in a flying boat…”
Before the man finished speaking, Liang Zhu, who was supposed to return to the cabin, suddenly ran back and looked at her with a puzzled face and asked:
“Is the news true?”
“Yes, this junior has seen it with his own eyes. There are ten flying boats in total, filled with disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect…”
“Does Yue Wuming have such confidence?” Liang Zhu frowned, held his chin, and thought for a while, and soon the possibility came to his mind, and said, “Pei girl, Young Master Xiao. I’m afraid that the Heavenly Demon Sect sent reinforcements to Yue Wuming, but I didn’t get the news… I don’t know how many reinforcements there are and what their strength is. It’s best for now…”
Xiao Yunluo also understood what he meant and quickly ordered the Xuanxing Sect disciple:
“Explore again… Then, Brother Liang, order the disciples to slow down the speed of the boat first and let’s take a step back. It seems that Yue Wuming wants to provoke us, so let’s not take advantage of it first…”
Pei Lianxue had no objection. Her senior brother had taught her how to fight, but he had not taught her how to lead people to fight in groups.
Before, she, Xiao Yunluo, and Liang Zhu had just killed every one of them when they saw them and just ran away if they couldn’t beat them.
But now she was leading more than 700 disciples. If she couldn’t defeat them, many of them would die.
Therefore, she left the command completely to Liang Zhu and Xiao Yunluo.
“Um.”
The Xuanxing Sect disciple bowed his hands in agreement, and then hurriedly used his sword to head toward Yueluo Gorge. Liang Zhu also immediately went down to the deck to summon the Heavenly Cloud Peak disciples to change direction and increase their alertness.
However, he didn’t know whether it was the Xuanxing Sect disciple who flew too slowly when he came back, or whether the Heavenly Demon Sect’s flying boat was too fast.
Liang Zhu had just arranged the steering, but within a moment of burning incense, Pei Lianxue, who was at the bow of the ship, seemed to feel something. She suddenly turned her head and squinted at the top of a mountain covered with black snow not far ahead.
Xiao Yunluo, who was directing the Heavenly Cloud Peak disciples to move things, saw that her expression became serious and asked quickly:
“Lianxue… What’s wrong?
“With murderous intent.”
“Ah?”
Xiao Yunluo was stunned for a moment, then turned to follow Pei Lianxue’s line of sight, only to see a blood-red light suddenly flash among the originally calm ink clouds behind the mountain peak.
Whoosh——
Immediately, a bloody arc of light drew a perfect arc against the right side of the mountain, and then shot straight toward her and Pei Lianxue.
“Hiss–”
Xiao Yunluo was so frightened that she took a deep breath and immediately shouted:
“Enemy attack!! Disciples guard the formation!!”
However, the distance of several thousand feet between this and that mountain peak was only ten breaths of time at the speed of the arc of light.
Although the Heavenly Cloud Peak disciples running on the deck heard her shouts, they did not react immediately. They were stunned for a moment before running to their respective positions, preparing to form a formation to put a spiritual shield on the immortal boat, but were too late.
Fortunately, Pei Lianxue was the first person to notice the bloody arc of light.
When Xiao Yunluo was directing her disciples to defend against the enemy, she summoned the Snow Spirit Sword, jumped up from the bow of the ship in one step, and raised the sword to rest on the path of the arc of light.
Ding–!
Zila——
It wasn’t until Pei Lianxue caught the arc of light with her sword that she realized it was a black iron feather arrow.
The rich blood energy wrapped on the feather arrows collided with the ice-blue cold air wrapped on the Snow Spirit Sword over the bow of the ship, and then split into countless rays of light that looked like blood and splashed out.
Pei Lianxue felt that the force was quite strong, so she immediately added a little more strength and pressed her arms down.
Whoosh——
The ice blue sword light swept across the arrow, splitting the arrow and the mountain forest below it into two in just an instant
“Yunluo, It’s powerful!!”
“Ah… It’s amazing…”
Xiao Yunluo below was stunned for a moment before she realized that Pei Lianxue meant there was a powerful demon cultivator, and couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
After all, Lianxue said that a powerful demon cultivator was not an ordinary powerful one…
The disciples of Heavenly Cloud Peak on the deck had also formed their formations at this moment, but they were waiting for the order to activate the formation.
Behind the mountain just now, countless magical lights with evil auras suddenly emerged, parabolically surrounding the mountain and heading toward the Xuanxing Sect’s immortal boat.
The evil light was overwhelming, instantly illuminating the dark world covered by ink clouds.
Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath, immediately put her hands together, and came to the sky above the seven immortal boats. She closed her eyes and murmured the command of forgiveness.
Black Dragon’s spiritual energy surged out from all over her body, and before those magic spells were thrown down, it condensed into a spiritual cover, wrapping all seven immortal boats in it.
Rumble——
The demonic cultivator’s spell exploded close at hand, and the ship’s hull shook suddenly.
Liang Zhu moved several steps before he stood firm without falling. He looked at Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo, and immediately used his spiritual power to expand his voice and draw the Heavenly Cloud Peak disciple’s attention back:
“All Xuanxing Sect disciples listen to the order and form a formation!”
…
