Wu Long and the blind swordsman faced each other for a split mont separated by a vast distance, and yet it was as if they stood a few ters away from each other. Eventually the latter turned back to look ahead again, and the tense atmosphere relaxed.
After a few hours of watching, Wu Long's eyes narrowed.
"Rember, take on everyone except that blind swordsman. The rest you should have no problem dealing with... except the two I told you about... but it should not co to that"
He turned to Hua Ziyan, who nodded in response.
"Then, let's go. It should start any mont now"
He smiled to her and they both stepped forward. The mont they did, several disciples of the Frozen Garden Palace suddenly turned and released Spiritual Qi toward the disciples of the Profound Music Palace.
"Piercing Icicle Shot!"
Their Spiritual Qi ford images that looked like icicles and even gave off a cold feeling from looking at them, which shot forward.
"Protective Wall of Ice"
Xue Bing's figure appeared in front, as her hands ford hand seals and an image of a massive wall, by its shape ford of ice but actually made from Spiritual Qi appeared to block the attacks.
"What is the aning of this?!"
The new Pri Disciple of the Profound Music Palace who took over after Gong Cui left the sect proclaid with anger.
"The Frozen Garden Palace has gone rogue! Protect the Profound Music Palace Disciples!!!"
"It's a sabotage and a trap! Profound Martial Arts Valley, prepare for battle!"
The Pri Disciple of the Cloud Piercing Sect shouted brandishing his sword, imdiately backed by the Profound Martial Arts Valley.
They turned to attack but unlike what they seed to have expected the majority of the people from the Frozen Garden Palace imdiately turned to attack the ones who made the move earlier with no disarray or mont of confusion.
Even more disrupting their movent to 'protect the Profound Music Palace' was that the Brilliant Sun Temple stood in between the two Sects and the Frozen Garden Palace like a sturdy wall of muscles while the ones who required their 'protection' stood in confusion, not sure of what was happening.
This whole scene was captured by the Viewing Formation, but there was no shocking and confusing battle that instantly engulfed the younger generation of the Sects, so the likely confusion in the Frozen Garden Palace between the upper echelon of each sect was not that great either.
What's more one of the Disciples who attacked the Music Dao cultivators sent out a few talismans almost at the sa ti, and the formation under their feet made a crackling noise as sparks of yellow electricity ran through it by the ti the attacks were blocked, so the image was cut off at this ambiguous timing with no real developnt.
However, right at that mont, a shadow began manifesting behind Xue Bing, whose eyes slightly widened.
She started to turn around and retreat from that shadow as fast as she could but it was still not enough to escape a blade of a dagger appearing from it that was rapidly approaching her throat.
But right at the mont it seed that her life was forfeit, another blade, this one of a sword blocked into the path of the dagger.
A loud gnashing of tal rang out with sparks the next mont as the icy beauty moved away and finished turning at the sa ti, seeing a familiar figure of a handso man blocking the dagger that almost took her life.
"I would say it is nice to see you, Pri Demon Hong Ye, but the circumstances are a bit..."
Wu Long chuckled looking into the slightly widened red eyes that beca filled with a pure child-like joy seeing him.
The sudden attack gave the two Sects an opportunity to charge in, causing the disciples of the Brilliant Sun Temple to engage, not letting them through as the battlefield beca chaotic.
The disciples of the Profound Music Palace were forced to still focus on the tide of Demonic Beasts amid confusion as most others now almost ignored it.
"Darling!!!-..."
*BOOM!!!*
A loud sound took her attention away as bits of stone and ice went into the air creating a large white-gray cloud of debree and fog-like snow.
A petite beautiful woman appeared soon as the wind broke the veil of dust and snow. She was standing among the disciples of the Profound Martial Arts Valley as crushed corpses were all around her.
"Huh? What is she doing he-?!?!"
The Pri Disciple of that Sect did not have ti to finish his phrase in a confused voice as Spiritual Qi Fists appeared all around her and she disappeared, her blurry image going forward with the heavy-looking fists falling onto the heads of her next targets.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
"Aaargh!"
"My leg! Aah-..."
"Fuck! Soone stop that bi-...!"
Booming sounds continued to resound as anguished cries of the mbers of the Profound Martial Arts Valley resounded in the vicinity.
"Hahaha, your lady rocks!"
Hong Ye turned back to Wu Long with a chuckle and a little bit of surprise in both her voice and eyes as Hua Ziyan did not give her such a dangerous feeling when she saw her from afar on the Wood Spirit Continent like she did now.
"Haha, why thank you, I am quite proud of her myself"
Wu Long smiled while his other hand moved to the side with a spear appearing in it.
The spear blade had a bit of water run on it's edge which then shot out, colliding with another dagger which neared the throat of Beng Mao, the Pri Disciple of the Brilliant Sun Temple who was engaged in a fight with the Pri Disciple of the Cloud Piercing Sect.
"Haa~ Ye'er. I get that you're in love and all that, but you really should do sothing about him.
If this thing you have for him continues to interfere with work it is going to be harder and harder to find excuses you know, it's the second ti he interferes..."
Hong Yue whose dagger was pushed back made a heavy sigh, rolling her red eyes.
"Hmm, but... haa~ Darling~...*BOOM!!!* can't you let this one go? We're just going to do our job and then get out of here. I'm free for so ti after so we can even have a chat later if you want"
Hong Ye looked at Wu Long with a pleading look as if she was a kid asking for a candy, which could possibly look cute if one ignored what she was actually talking about. Though when she said "Darling" there was a louder than before sound from the direction Hua Ziyan fought in.
"Haha, sorry, no can do, Pri Disciple Hong Ye~..."
"I'm sorry, are you talking with an assassin right now?"
Xue Bing asked with widened eyes in a slightly bewildered voice as both Wu Long's amused and Hong Ye's red eyes turned to her, the black-haired beauty having to tilt to the side to peek out from behind Wu Long.
Both then simply nodded with straight faces causing the icy beauty to open her mouth with no words to comnt as they both returned to looking at each other as Hong Ye's head hid back behind him.
Hong Yue also stood back without attacking as she recognized that even as he was talking with her twin, he would not let her do anything.
"...as I was saying, I can't let you finish your contract this ti, but..."
A slightly mischievous smile touched his lips.
"...I can compensate"
"Huh? Don't you know how our organization works? We don't accept demands to take over or finish contracts made by others for any sum"
Hong Yue raised her eyebrow as she spoke, surprised at his words.
"Wait, Sister Yue, let's hear him out first"
"Are you kidding ? Ye'er!"
"Hahaha, it is not financial compensation, and it is not an offer to the organization. But I do feel bad for causing you to fail a contract for the second ti even though you likely never had before..."
Wu Long chuckled at the flabbergasted expression Hong Yue made as her twin eagerly looked into his eyes.
"... so how about a date in the Fantian Kingdom a bit later this month or the next one?"
"...!"
"... ah, shit..."
He then smiled as Hong Ye's eyes lit up at his words while her white-haired twin facepald in the background.
Xue Bing's icy face twitched behind him as so emotions seed to be swirling beneath the frozen surface.
"I agree!"
"Ye'er!"
"What? It's a fair offer!"
Hong Ye turned to her twin with a glint in her eyes.
"Fair? How in the world that's fair? A date for a failed contract?"
"... but it's a date with Darling!"
*BOOM!!!*
She exclaid with another louder noise in the background.
Hong Yue covered her face with her palm yet again as she looked into the eyes of her sister.
It was these eyes she could not resist as she made a "Urgh!" sound from the bottom of her heart while rolling her eyes while Hong Ye made a small "success" pose.
"... I don't know if I am dreaming anymore..."
Xue Bing shook her head, turning around to go and help the disciples of her Sect deal with the remaining traitors. After witnessing talk of a date in turn for not attempting to murder her, all happening on a rather chaotic battlefield, she felt like reality was a strange and quite distant concept.
"By the way, you appeared in ti... did you know?"
Hong Yue then asked and he nodded with a light smile.
"I was wondering if you would show up to say 'hi', but since you did not I assud we would just talk it out here"
"Kehe...ahahahaha, I told you he noticed us... that's why I said she should go and say 'hi'!"
"Don't say nonsense! What kind of assassin goes to say 'hi' even if they see a familiar face during a mission?!"
"But... don't you think it's kinda funny for assassins to be sneaking around thinking they are hidden even though there's soone totally seeing them?
Hehe... hehahaha, it gets even funnier the more you think about how we thought we were perfectly hidden... ahahaha!"
Hong Ye almost folded in two holding her stomach and laughing as her twin covered her face again, though now there was a slight but still visible on her pale skin blush on the parts of upper cheeks that peeked out of the mask.
"Anyway, now that we have a deal, I have a bit of a ss to deal with. Contact with this if you need to, it will automatically contact my personal communication jade"
Wu Long chuckled, handing over a talisman that Hong Ye took with reddening cheeks.
"Hehehe, a present from Darling~! *BOOOM!!!* ... I will cherish it~... see you later... Da~rling~! *BOOOOOM!!!!!*"
She excitedly jumped a little and then stepped to the side, disappearing into the black cloud as did her sister, though without a word.
"Haha, it seems I do have a bit of explaining to do"
Wu Long chuckled as he saw the escalating violence against the poor mbers of the Profound Martial Arts Valley, then turning his head to the direction where a blind man stood facing him, the chaos around seemingly avoiding both of them.
