Her exquisite features and graceful figure, with clothes fluttering in the air, dazzled the guards to the point where Jian Fengxing’s barking orders couldn’t snap them out of it.
"What are you all staring at?!" Jian Fengxing yelled when he saw no one moving.
The guards were jolted back to reality by Jian Fengxing’s shout and hurriedly rushed to catch Dugu Qianye.
Surrounded by so many people, Dugu Qianye wasn’t panicked at all, she executed her Ethereal Steps, teleporting next to each guard and kicking them down. As her strength had increased, her Ethereal Steps had also improved significantly, to the point where she could teleport.
She took them down one by one, and soon all the guards who had charged at her were kicked down. Jian Fengxing watched his n fall and cursed them as trash, then he flew up personally towards Dugu Qianye, gathering Spiritual Power in both hands and striking at Dugu Qianye.
When Dugu Qianye saw Jian Fengxing’s action, she also unleashed her Divine Technique; the two streams of Spiritual Power collided in mid-air, causing an ear-deafening explosion. Both Jian Fengxing and Dugu Qianye were pushed back several hundred ters by the impact of the explosion.
Jian Fengxing thought that Dugu Qianye had taken down the guards by trickery, hence he estimated her strength wasn’t strong, but unexpectedly, her strength was almost equal to his; he stabilized his body after flipping twice in the air and looked at Dugu Qianye with a hint of surprise, asking, "Who sent you? Why do you want to destroy my sacred grounds?"
"You think I’ll tell you just because you asked? Do you take for a fool, or perhaps you’re the fool?" Dugu Qianye looked at Jian Fengxing disdainfully. These people had been sitting in high places for too long, thinking that others should obediently listen to them, taking everything for granted!
"Humph, it doesn’t matter who brought you here; today you will leave your life behind. All of you, get her!" Jian Fengxing waved his hand at his n below, and the guards all rushed up together.
Although attacking in groups wasn’t the behavior of strong warriors, the current situation left no room for such concerns. With the sacred grounds destroyed, Yong Xing would definitely hold them accountable, and the whole Refiners Sect would not escape bla. If he couldn’t even catch the person who destroyed the grounds, he might as well commit suicide before Yong Xing sentenced him!
Dugu Qianye called out her Spiritual Beasts, including the Spiritual Fox, to surround her, and then took out the Directional Transmission Array given to her by Xiahou Chun. Using the ti fought for by the Spiritual Beasts, she prepared the Transmission Array.
Jian Fengxing saw the Spiritual Fox, and his eyes bloodshot with rage. Those were the beasts Yong Xing had placed here to erode their wills, to be contracted by people later on, but now, all had been set free by Dugu Qianye, and the fate of the Refiners Sect didn’t need guessing!
"Hurry up and catch her!" Jian Fengxing roared at the guards and the people who had hurried over upon hearing the commotion.
Dugu Qianye had the Spiritual Beasts form a wall around the Transmission Array to protect it. As she watched the last bit of the Formation complete, she jumped into the Formation. As she turned to look at Jian Fengxing, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Jian Yuezhi on a distant mountaintop, watching in her direction as though he recognized her. Without ti to look closer, the Formation activated, and she vanished from the sacred grounds in an instant. Before disappearing, she recalled all the battling beasts back into her Space Ring.
The guards were still fighting the Spiritual Beasts then suddenly found themselves without opponents, causing quite a few to lose control of their Spiritual Power and striking their own n, turning the scene into complete chaos.
Jian Yuezhi stood on a distant mountain, holding a little tiger-like Spiritual Beast, watching the once grand sacred grounds now demolished, and while stroking the back of the little tiger, he said, "White Tiger, it’s ti for us to leave too..."
"Where to?" the little tiger asked.
Jian Yuezhi, looking in the direction where Dugu Qianye had disappeared, murmured in response, "To follow her steps... to fulfill our responsibilities... Let’s go, White Tiger..."
He took one last look at the frantic Jian Fengxing, then pulled out his own Directional Transmission Array...
In the back mountains of the Alchemist Sect, Xiahou Chun and Green Emperor Xiahou were discussing sothing when suddenly they saw two flashes of white light atop the mountain.
"Father?!" Green Emperor Xiahou exclaid with joy upon seeing the white light at the mountain peak.
Xiahou Chun was also sowhat excited and said, "It must be the young master returning! Let’s go up and take a look!"
When the two of them went up, they indeed saw Dugu Qianye vomiting absolutely everywhere and Jian Yuezhi, on another mountain peak, was about to faint from vomiting so much.
"Master, you really ca back!" Green Emperor Xiahou ran over excitedly upon seeing Dugu Qianye.
Only after Dugu Qianye felt she had vomited out everything she had eaten the day before yesterday did she feel sowhat relieved. She steadied her groggy head and looked at Green Emperor Xiahou, saying, "We have finally arrived."
Green Emperor Xiahou gave her so water to rinse her mouth. Once she felt better, he asked, "Master, did you obtain the Gold Spiritual Bead?"
Dugu Qianye nodded. Upon seeing Jian Yuezhi being supported over by Xiahou Chun, she asked in surprise, "Yuezhi, why have you co too?"
Jian Yuezhi glanced at Dugu Qianye and said, "So this is what you look like. You’re really beautiful!" Then he elegantly passed out.
"Young master, this..." Xiahou Chun looked at Dugu Qianye and caught the collapsing Jian Yuezhi.
Looking at Jian Yuezhi, Dugu Qianye said, "Take him to the courtyard we stayed in last ti. After I rest for a bit, I’ll explain the current situation to you."
Xiahou Chun and Green Emperor Xiahou nodded. One supported Dugu Qianye, and the other carried the unconscious Jian Yuezhi, returning to the courtyard they had stayed in last ti.
Dugu Qianye took an elixir and got so rest. Xiahou Chun and Green Emperor Xiahou waited for her outside the whole ti. Judging by her tone earlier, the situation shouldn’t be too bad!
"Creak..."
The door to Dugu Qianye’s room opened, and Xiahou Chun and Green Emperor Xiahou approached; she led them to the main hall.
"Master, are you alright?" Green Emperor Xiahou asked with concern, noticing Dugu Qianye’s still sowhat pale face.
Dugu Qianye shook her head, saying, "I’m fine now. How did the task I assigned you last ti go?"
Xiahou Chun stood up, bowed to Dugu Qianye, and answered, "The inheritance of the Shennong Cauldron was copied a long ti ago, with just the three of us. We didn’t let anyone else know. In addition, I ordered the alchemists from the Sect to continuously produce the elixirs you ntioned for recovering spiritual power and healing injuries. We have prepared a lot, and it’s all stored here."
Xiahou Chun took out several space rings and handed them to Dugu Qianye. After inspecting them, she verified that the rings were all extra-large space rings, each filled with bottles of elixirs. She thanked Xiahou Chun, "There is indeed so much! Thank you, Sect Master Xiahou." She then handed him a ring, "The supply of herbs I gave you last ti must be running low. Now I will give you another batch of herbs. Have them continue the production."
Last ti Dugu Qianye left, she had given him so rings filled to the brim with herbs. With these herbs, Xiahou Chun didn’t need to go out and buy any, significantly reducing the chance of Yong Xing discovering their operation. Taking the ring, he said, "I will distribute these herbs imdiately."
