Chapter 254: Chapter 35 Retreat (Monthly Ticket Bonus)
Seeing Luo Lihong charging at him with ill intentions, Zhou Bujue summoned his Profound Thunder Sword. Knowing he was no match, he still charged forward, intending to buy time for the Azure Peak disciples to escape.
“Demonic woman, cease harming my fellow disciples!!”
Although he had just been injured by the Thunder Beast, under the domineering Physique of the Acquired Immortal Saint Body, he had recovered seven to eight successes in power.
Coupled with his iron will, Zhou Bujue’s presence was incredibly imposing at this moment, his Sword Intent flourishing!
“Noisy.”
Luo Lihong merely struck out with another palm, shattering his Sword Qi.
Even the Sword Formation composed of the four Great Elders couldn’t stop Luo Lihong, let alone Zhou Bujue alone.
Zhou Bujue spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from the sky.
Luo Lihong’s Demonic Qi surged towards the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon, shattering its dragon scales.
The Blazing Flame Flood Dragon wailed and thrashed its body, causing many Azure Peak disciples to fall off.
Luo Lihong descended from the sky, her steps light as she arrived before the Azure Peak disciples.
She wore a Veil, making it impossible to discern her true appearance.
However, her aloof demeanor and perfect figure, with skin as fair as jade, allowed one to imagine what breathtaking beauty lay beneath the Veil.
This was the first time the Azure Peak disciples had seen such a beauty. They felt she was a creation of the heavens, and their bodies were rooted to the spot just by looking at her.
“You, you…!”
Zhong Yanhan, being a woman, was not directly mesmerized like the other men.
She drew her Twilight Snow Sword and pointed it at Luo Lihong.
Luo Lihong looked at Zhong Yanhan, a murderous intent rising within her.
“Urgh…”
Zhong Yanhan felt Luo Lihong’s pressure as if it had drained all the air, her chest compressed to the point she couldn’t breathe, struggling to inhale, on the verge of losing consciousness.
Ye Changsheng, sensing danger, stood up and stepped in front of Luo Lihong with his weapon.
“Hurry and go, Senior Sister Zhong!”
“Changsheng?”
“Go! I’ll hold this woman off!!” Ye Changsheng declared, “You are the hope of our Azure Peak, you cannot die here!”
“Apprentice!!!”
Tang Yi, concerned for his disciple, evoked lightning and landed on the ground, exploding.
He grabbed Zhong Yanhan by the waist and, disregarding the other disciples, immediately used an urgent movement technique to flee.
“Master, don’t go, save Changsheng!!” Zhong Yanhan struggled in Tang Yi’s arms.
Tang Yi said helplessly, “There’s no other way, I can’t worry about anything else now!”
“Junior Brother Yue, now is not the time to be stingy with your Dao Talismans. This concerns the survival of our White Emperor Sword Sect!” Su Wan shouted.
Yue Wanqian’s face was contorted in pain, but he could only nod, “I know!! Myriad Talisman Box, deploy!!”
He took out his most precious talisman box, releasing the powerful talismans he had painstakingly accumulated over decades since entering the Dao.
The sky was instantly filled with countless talismans, their runes glowing with radiant light. They unleashed the power of high-level talismans, flickering in the sky and repelling a wave of powerful figures from Wuhua Palace.
However, these talismans could only buy time; they couldn’t achieve complete suppression. It was only a matter of time before Wuhua Palace broke through them.
“Quickly retreat! Take Zhou Bujue with you!”
Su Wan could no longer afford to care about anything else and urged everyone to flee.
Ye Changsheng gave the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon some signals. The flood dragon roared and spat out its inferno, enveloping Luo Lihong.
Then, the Azure Peak disciples desperately scrambled back to the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon. Some who were slower simply grabbed its tail and escaped together.
In the end, only a dozen or so White Emperor Sword Sect disciples were left behind; the rest had dejectedly fled.
Luo Lihong waved her hand, blowing away the inferno, and then looked at Ye Changsheng.
Ye Changsheng shrugged.
…
The dozen or so White Emperor Sword Sect disciples were captured and imprisoned separately before being brought back to Wuhua Palace.
“Welcome;;to;;’s;;Library’,'”
The people of Wuhua Palace also retreated, leaving only Luo Lihong, Luo Yingying, and Ye Changsheng behind.
“Changsheng!!”
Luo Yingying’s face broke into a smile upon seeing Ye Changsheng, and she directly crashed into his arms.
“Ouch!”
Ye Changsheng was immediately knocked to the ground by Luo Yingying’s pounce.
Luo Lihong had brought Luo Yingying with her on this expedition, but had not let her participate in the battle.
“Young Palace Mistress, it’s been a while.” Ye Changsheng said.
“Hehe~ Did you miss me?” Luo Yingying asked with a healing smile on her adorable face.
Ye Changsheng chuckled, “Well, of course I—”
“No, he didn’t miss you, Luo Yingying.”
A sudden, sharp voice chimed in. Luo Lihong couldn’t stand watching the two of them acting lovey-dovey and said with disdain.
“Wuxiao, he was flirting with a beautiful girl from the White Emperor Sword Sect, they had a close relationship, and what’s more, that girl even called him Changsheng.”
You really know how to hit a sore spot!
Ye Changsheng frowned.
He had truly earned Luo Lihong’s complete dislike.
“Really?” Luo Yingying stared at Ye Changsheng.
“Well…”
“Explain quickly, don’t make excuses!”
“It’s required for the mission.”
“Changsheng!! You’re cheating on me again!!” Luo Yingying grabbed Ye Changsheng’s face, “Why are you always such a flirt!!”
There was no other way; he had to pass the blame.
“Young Palace Mistress, I didn’t mean to, but as an undercover agent, I have to maintain good relationships with others,” Ye Changsheng said. “I am strictly carrying out the Palace Mistress’s orders to integrate into the White Emperor Sword Sect by any means necessary. These are all instructions from the Palace Mistress.”
“You…”
Luo Lihong didn’t expect Ye Changsheng to use her as a shield.
“Palace Mistress, wouldn’t you agree? If I hadn’t executed your orders properly, I wouldn’t have been able to obtain intelligence for Wuhua Palace so easily,” Ye Changsheng said with assurance.
What Ye Changsheng said was not wrong.
Tsk.
Luo Lihong was simply displeased, wishing Ye Changsheng dead.
But there was nothing she could do to him right now.
“Sister, please don’t let Changsheng be an undercover agent anymore. Wouldn’t it be better if he stayed home and married me!” Luo Yingying implored.
A good idea, my foot.
If he wasn’t an undercover agent, how would he obtain the Heavenly Extreme Sword Heart to refine the Five Extremes Heavenly Pill?
“Stop fooling around, Luo Yingying. Wuxiao did an excellent job this time,” Luo Lihong praised, though her expression remained cold.
“He provided crucial intelligence for our Wuhua Palace, allowing us to obtain the Soul Refining Sect without a single soldier lost.”
Ye Changsheng replied, “It’s merely my duty. However, I don’t understand why the Palace Mistress went to such great lengths and trouble to send Wuhua Palace to Panyin Mountain as well? Wuhua Palace currently doesn’t even covet the Soul Refining Sect’s resources, so it’s not worth competing with the White Emperor Sword Sect in this manner.”
“I merely intended to drive the White Emperor Sword Sect away. There’s no need to make a move against them until you’ve obtained the Heavenly Extreme Sword Heart.”
Luo Lihong gestured for Ye Changsheng and his younger sister to follow her.
“There is a valuable Treasure in this place, Panyin Mountain, which cannot be taken by the White Emperor Sword Sect.”
“Sister, could you be referring to the Earth Elemental Spirit!” Luo Yingying asked.
Luo Lihong led them to the mysterious cave entrance leading into the deep abyss.
“This place connects to the depths of the earth, and there lies the Earth Elemental Spirit that we must obtain.”
