As Ling Feiyue led everyone out to greet this new intruder, she was saying exasperatingly. âThis Venerable Palace Mistress. Who do she thinks she is? She dares to barge into my sect anyhow she pleases? What happens to our sect defensive arrays and protectors?â
She questioned the panicky cultivator along the way out of the hall. âHow many cultivators did she bring?â
The panicky cultivator had a flustered look as he replied awkwardly. âShe only comes alone.â
âWhat?â Ling Feiyue was stunned. There were always more than a hundred golden celestials around and 10+ sacred saints around. How was it possible for a lone cultivator to storm into the Spirit Blue Moon Sect?
This was a slap to her face and a tremendous loss of faces to the Spirit Blue Moon Sect in front of the three visiting great saint envoys.
Even Chen Yi and Ling Tianshui were shaking with disbelief as they stormed angrily to the outside.
They were not particular worry because they had more than ten great saints altogether. What can a lone great saintess from the Water Melody Palace do to them?
The three great saints from the three other major unorthodox clans were actually startled that the Water Melody Palace had come knocking. It was normal to be apprehensive about the Water Melody Palace because no single major celestial clan actually dared to mess up with the three heretic palaces alone.
Even the Celestial Orthodox Sect had to seek the aid of the other major orthodox clans in order to deal with the Evil Cultivation Palace.
These three heretic palaces are extremely secretive and powerful at the same time. Unless there is a reason to mess around with them, no one is foolhardy to do so.
Perhaps the three great saints had the same thoughts as Chen Yi and Ling Tianshui as well as they laughed. âIt is only one great saintess. Do we even need to fear a lone trouble maker?â
Great Saint You Tianlong even put on some brave words in front of Ji Yuan. âBrother Ji Yuan, donât worry. We are all here to support you!â
Ji Yuan returned him an awkward look and kept his thoughts secret; Yea. Support. So I am still the main cannon fodder. When things go south, all of you will switch sides as always.
In Ji Yuanâs lifetime, he had been betrayed by numerous âgreat supportsâ from his so call âbrothersâ. But that is why he has always been a leader because he has always been a leading cultivator. This is actually his great quality because he can close his eyes to the numerous âbad deedsâ of âbrothersâ and people trust him with the real leadership later on.
That was why after the epic desolate beast attack on the Five Heavens Peaks, there were still many cultivators that had missed Ji Yuanâs presence even though he was ânotâ around.
Great Saint Gu Gui not wanting to lose to Great Saint You Tianlong immediately said with great righteousness, âBrother Ji Yuan, I will there to fight alongside with you!â
Ji Yuan laughed, âThank you Brother Gu Gui. You are indeed my good brother!â But he was secret cursing; Alongside with me huh? So Iâm still the main cannon fodder.
Great Saint Tian Shan was also patting his chest, âBrother Ji Yuan, you can trust me too. I will lend you whatever support you need!â
Ji Yuan laughed, âBrother Tian Shan, you are such a wonderful brother! Thank you in advance!â But he was cursing; why donât you say you are just my moral support?
Ling Feiyue, Xue Qianxue and Little Princess said together, âMy lord, we will fight with you together!â
Ji Yuan laughed as he tried to put on a manly front. âNo need, I can handle it alone.â But he was secretly pleased. These maidens are willing to put their lives for me. Ji Yuan, as an alpha male, you canât put their lives at risk. You ought to protect them.
Then he added a thought; one of these days, I will die because of I love my face more than my life.
Bai Qianfeng tugged him by his sleeve, âMy lord, shall I settle this intruder for you?â
Ji Yuan was secretly comforted and even more delighted; Qianfeng, youâre the best!
But he replied shamelessly and full of thickness, âQianfeng, I alone can handle this. You take a backseat and watch the show. It is only a lone cultivator and not the entire Water Melody Palace. Let see what she wants first.â
Bai Qianfeng whispered, âAlright my lordâŠâ But she quickly added. âThis foe is really dangerous. I can sense great danger outside.â
As an immortal cultivator, Bai Qianfengâs extrasensory perception with her divine sense is more formidable than any celestial practitioner.
But Ji Yuan laughed it off, âDonât worry! I can surely manage it!â
In front of Bai Qianfeng, all his manly vibes ballooned to ungodly levels. Even if she wants the moon from him now, he will answer. âI will get the moon for you, Qianfeng!â
And so, they went outside the inner citadel hall of the Dark Mistressâ Citadel and were shocked to see that the entire sun had been blotted out and the entire mountain peak was dark now even though it was now in mid-day.
A gigantic blue phoenix was fluttering above the palace grounds, blotting out the sun; its gigantic wings were so gigantic that the entire mountain peak was covered by the shadows of its wings.
This was an epic ninth rank divine beast!
Ji Yuan immediately gulped. An epic seventh rank desolate beast is already so hard to beat and now he is facing a ninth rank divine beastâŠ
Not only was Ji Yuan stunned by the sight but everyone else was too!
All around the palace ground, dozens of cultivators on the side of the Spirit Blue Moon Sect were flung from their flying mounts to the ground and everyone was looking helplessly at the sight of the gigantic blue phoenix.
Even Ling Feiyue was flustered. It was because there were supposed to be several powerful defensive arrays in the mountains around.
Unless the Spirit Blue Moon Sect has permitted it, it is quite impossible for anyone to barge with their flying mounts in broad daylight but against an epic ninth rank divine beast, her sect is truly helpless.
âThis isâŠâ everyone was stunned and lost their wits all of a sudden.
Even ten great saints may not be able to contest against a single ninth rank epic divine beast!
Ji Yuan could only mutter helplessly, âWhy donât you bring the entire Water Melody Palace instead?â
Great Saint Gu Gui, Great Saint Tian Shan and Great Saint You Tianlong were now trying to show that they were friends of the Spirit Blue Moon Sect so they mouthed a weak protest. âWho dares to intrude here?â
But to Ji Yuan, it sounded like they were fanning the flames of war and he was cursing them silently: we should be keeping a low profile at this momentâŠ
The oppressive aura that come from above the blue phoenix began to exert its profound strength on everyone as the powerful female cultivator on top of the blue phoenixâs head began to echo coldly. âWho is Li Yuan? Ask him to get out. How dare he seduce my core protĂ©gĂ©!â
From her oppressive aura, everyone can tell that she is a peaked great saintess. That is her profound strength!
Although the intruderâs profound aura was extremely oppressive, Ling Feiyue had raised her profound aura to dispel the oppressive aura in an act of defiance. âDark Mistress Ling Feiyue here. Who dares to intrude into my Spirit Blue Moon Sect?â
The blue phoenix lowered its head and a thin old woman with grey hair could be seen standing regally on top.
âVenerable Palace Mistress Shui Xisi from the Water Melody Palace. Where is Li Yuan?! Ask him to come out now!â This Venerable Palace Mistress Shui Xisi looked extremely upset today.
âYoung lass, get out of my way! Get me Li Yuan here or donât blame me for demolishing your mountain peak!â
Ling Feiyue was startled that someone else had actually dared to call her a young lassâŠ
The three great saints from the other three major unorthodox clans were secretly muttering. âWho is this Li Yuan?â
Ji Yuan quickly stepped forward and announced awkwardly. âErm, I am Li YuanâŠâ
Great Saint Gu Gui, Great Saint Tian Shan and Great Saint You Tianlong, Chen Yi and Ling Tianshui were all gasping with shock. Ji Yuan is Li Yuan?!
âSo you are that beardless good-for-nothing Li Yuan that bullies my core protĂ©gĂ©?â Shui Xisi immediately stared at him coldly.
Ji Yuan was stunned. When did I ever bully your core protégé? All of a sudden he had remembered Shui Qingqing. Yea, when did I ever bully her?
âAlthough I am a beardless cultivator but I am definitely not a good-for-nothing. And when did I ever bully your core protĂ©gĂ©?â He had frankly remembered that he had shown her a great deal of care. He honestly can swear that he had never touched her or anythingâŠ
No wait, it is the opposite way! He had suddenly remembered that Shui Qingqing had grabbed him by his armsâŠđ§đžđœđźđđđxt.đđđ
He smiled weakly to himself. Surely she isnât that petty?
Shui Xisi hummed coldly, âEver since my core protĂ©gĂ© has returned to her sect, she has been praising your profound skills. How dare you belittle the profound arts of the Water Melody Palace!â
Ji Yuan was truly stunned. When did I ever belittle the profound arts of the Water Melody Palace? Did Shui Qingqing misunderstand something or what? Or is it a plot to seize the celestial sword that he had given to Bai Qianfeng?
Ji Yuan looked at the rest awkwardly, âDonât look at me like this. I didnât do anything funny at allâŠâ
Shui Xisi raised her fingers before saying coldly, âDisplay your divine sword and we shall have a match to see who has the superior skills. Do you have the guts to fight an old woman or you are just a beardless child that needs milk?â
Ji Yuan immediately growled. âWho is the one that needs milk?!â He had displayed his celestial sword.
Shui Xisi smirked coldly, âThen letâs fight for a hundred rounds!â
Ji Yuan immediately rose to the challenge. âA hundred rounds it shall be then!â
Little Princess gasped, âMy lord, donât! She is dangerous!â
Xue Qianxue and Ling Feiyue were now holding onto his arms, âDonât accept her challengeâŠâ
But Ji Yuan has never one to shy away from a fight especially it is a challenge from the same cultivation level. So he had displayed his celestial sword.
Ling Feiyue cursed him softly, âMy lord, youâre not her matchâŠâ
Even Bai Qianfeng was saying, âI can fight her off for youâŠâ
Ji Yuan whispered to their ears, âI need to accept this challenge or our new allies will think that weâre weak. They are also watching me keenly now. If I back off from this fight then they may have second thoughts on becoming our allies. This wonât be good for the Spirit Blue Moon Sect.â
With a soft resignation, Ling Feiyue could only watch him with a helpless look. âBe careful, my lord.â
With a flash, Shui Xisi had already landed gently on the palace ground to coldly greet Ji Yuan with her malevolent air.
