Extre Sword Spirit General had followed ng Zhang for many years and understood his character very well. Seeing ng Zhang's posture, he took a few steps and blocked Xu ngying's path.
"My Lady Saint, shouldn't you give us an explanation for what happened today?" ng Zhang spoke insolently, with a hint of playful smile on his face.
Xu ngying didn't reply imdiately. Instead, she removed the veil that had been covering her face for years, revealing her true appearance.
A breathtakingly beautiful face, capable of captivating all living beings, appeared before ng Zhang.
Xu ngying smiled enchantingly, and her gentle voice echoed in ng Zhang's ears.
"Sect Master ng, why bother nitpicking over trivial matters? You are such a prominent figure; how can you be so preoccupied with such things?"
This was the first ti in the many years ng Zhang had known Xu ngying that he had seen her true face.
ng Zhang was taken aback for a mont, wondering if she was trying to seduce him.
Did she think that a beautiful appearance would entice him?
ng Zhang, a cultivator at his level of cultivation base, except for a few anomalies, could resist the allure of appearances. In his eyes, even the most beautiful face was nothing more than fleeting clouds. A good appearance was no more valuable than a pile of spirit stones.
ng Zhang looked at Xu ngying with an appreciative and pure gaze, paying no attention to the complints she gave him but instead getting straight to the point.
"Miss Xu, spare the pleasantries. I only need one thing from you: how will you settle the accounts from earlier?"
In the Cultivation World, there was a custom of addressing female cultivators as "Immortal" regardless of their actual cultivation level. Although this was a form of respect, ng Zhang didn't quite like it.
Calling a female pig "Immortal" or a Refining Qi stage cultivator "Immortal" seed too cheap. They were even less worthy than the prostitutes in brothels.
ng Zhang believed that only Gold Core Daoist Masters who were above average in appearance could be truly addressed as "Immortal."
Xu ngying initially t these criteria, but now he needed to pressure her, so he didn't want to be overly polite.
Xu ngying seed unbothered by ng Zhang's pressing attitude and maintained a smile on her face.
"Sect Master ng, we are all part of the sa group; there's no need to be so formal. As a sect master and a righteous person, it's your duty to help fellow cultivators and eliminate demons. Why should others have to demand explanations from you?"
ng Zhang didn't want to engage in a verbal duel with a re woman and had no desire to waste any more words. His expression grew increasingly gloomy, ready to take action at any mont.
He harbored no thoughts of cherishing and admiring beauty; he only wanted to satisfy his desire for revenge.
Similarly, Extre Sword Spirit General began secretly circulating their power, ready to cooperate with ng Zhang.
Capturing Xu ngying wouldn't be an easy task, given her displayed combat prowess. Besides, she was the Holy Lady of the Yellow Lotus Sect, and she undoubtedly had so hidden aces up her sleeve.
Just as ng Zhang and Extre Sword Spirit General were on edge, preparing to make a move, a sharp gust of wind sound ca from a distance.
A flying boat appeared in the sky and quickly flew towards this location.
In an instant, the flying boat arrived above the three individuals. Daoist Master Mountain Garden and Daoist Master Smiling Lotus appeared at the bow of the flying boat.
Seeing ng Zhang and the Yellow Lotus Sect's Holy Lady together, and recalling ng Zhang's recent intentional disturbance to create an opportunity for Xu ngying, Daoist Master Mountain Garden suddenly realized and felt he understood the situation.
"ng Zhang, you indeed have a connection with that woman. This ti, you've been caught red-handed, and you have nothing to say. Even if this matter reaches your master, Jin Li True Monarch, you won't escape," Daoist Master Mountain Garden spoke harshly.
Daoist Master Smiling Lotus's words were not as harsh, but they were equally blunt.
"ng Zhang, you interfered in our sect's internal affairs and ddled in matters you shouldn't have. You have violated a major taboo in the Cultivation World and have offended the Nine-Bends Fascination Alliance rules."
Facing the accusations from the two Daoist Masters, ng Zhang's face turned livid. He didn't want to explain, and he knew explanations wouldn't help at this point. The situation had already gone beyond what re words could solve.
Daoist Master Mountain Garden's words infuriated him deeply, and he even harbored a killing intent.
After all, he had been a sect master for so many years and had decent cultivation skills to restrain his temper. He coldly gazed at Xu ngying.
Yue Yuan Zhenre obviously followed this woman's lead, and now he was in a difficult situation, implicated by her.
Daoist Master Mountain Garden wanted to order an attack and capture the three of them directly.
However, Daoist Master Smiling Lotus hesitated. On the one hand, Xu ngying held a high position as the Yellow Lotus Sect's Holy Lady, so he was reluctant to make a move against her. On the other hand, ng Zhang was involved in this matter, and an imdiate attack might trigger another large-scale war with the Taiyi Sect.
Yellow Lotus Sect's East River Branch now occupied a vast territory in the Endless Sea of Sand, adjacent to the Taiyi Sect. If they went to war, the East River Branch would undoubtedly be the frontline and would be used as cannon fodder.
While Daoist Master Smiling Lotus hesitated, the Gold Core Daoist Masters on the flying boat revealed themselves.
Shortly after arriving at Tiger Mountain City, they had rented a Third Rank flying boat. Given Yellow Lotus Sect's vast resources, they didn't care about the expenses.
Although Xu ngying managed to temporarily shake off the pursuing Yellow Lotus cultists with ng Zhang's help, Yue Yuan Zhenre had received guidance from True Monarch Mountain Peak before departure. Xu ngying's subordinates had long placed so ans on her.
This flying boat carried this group of people and followed Xu ngying's trail from Tiger Mountain City until they caught up with her here.
As for running into her and ng Zhang together, it could only be seen as destiny, leading them to capture them.
Upon Daoist Master Mountain Garden's order, he and the other Gold Core Daoist Masters made their move.
With the enemy vastly outnumbering them, both ng Zhang and Xu ngying knew they couldn't foolishly fight head-on at this point.
Just a mont ago, ng Zhang and Extre Sword Spirit General had been looking at Xu ngying as enemies, and now they were joining forces against a common enemy.
Although they hadn't communicated beforehand, the three of them coordinated seamlessly, like the best comrades and companions.
A radiant light filled the air as ng Zhang used his Divine Ability "Sun and Moon Divine Light" to temporarily shield their opponents' perception.
Extre Sword Spirit General released a barrage of sword energy, enveloping all the enemies, forcing them to divide their attention.
With a gentle wave of Xu ngying's hand, an inexplicable force erged, causing the hostile group to feel dizzy and disoriented.
Taking advantage of the montary suppression of their opponents, ng Zhang and the others flew into the sky and headed towards the distance.
Before leaving, ng Zhang casually threw a thunderball towards the flying boat in the air.
It was a thunderball he had crafted using a secret technique when he was not a Gold Core True Monarch. He had begged quite a few from her back then, and after many years of use, he still had a few left.
