"Great Elder, there are Taoist Sect’s Liang Yi and Su Youyi, as well as the Young Master of the Demon Clan present." The cold-faced elder beside him suddenly froze, as several unexpected individuals appeared alongside the Vermilion Bird Envoy.
"How could those two from the Taoist Sect be with this Vermilion Bird Envoy?" The Heavenly Pool Great Elder stared closely, the two flying towards the Vermilion Bird Envoy were indeed people he recognized.
However, this also puzzled him; weren’t Liang Yi and the Devouring Spirit Sect sworn enemies? How could these two, who should be mortal foes, mix together?
"Are you alright?" Zhou Yuqing had just vomited blood, which scared Liang Yi terribly— if their Master cos back and finds out his niece has been made to vomit blood by the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, wouldn’t he seek out the Sword Master to have a serious conversation?
Su Youyi also looked at Zhou Yuqing with a worried expression, her senior brother had already told her roughly what happened; she hadn’t expected this Vermilion Bird Envoy of the Devouring Spirit Sect to turn out to be their Master’s niece.
Old Mister Ju looked at Liang Yi with a face full of admiration.
The Zhou Family might be powerful, but in terms of connections, as the chief disciple of Chen Hua, isn’t Liang Yi the strongest?
Besides the Senluo Wanxiang Sect and the Blood Control Sect, doesn’t Liang Yi tread across the Mystical chanism Continent with high prestige?
"It’s nothing, just a brief disruption in my energy flow," Zhou Yuqing slowly shook her head; clashing with the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool’s Sect Protection Array was not a challenging task for her. If it weren’t for her distractions, she would even have the upper hand, especially considering she possesses one of the ancient Four Spirits, the immortal and indestructible spirit of the Vermilion Bird.
"Liang Yi, what are you doing mixing up with that demoness? If you are being coerced, just blink." The Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool Great Elder Song Youwang frowned and shouted, if Liang Yi was indeed being coerced, they must rescue him at all costs.
Though he didn’t get along with Chen Hua, if the Banished Immortal learned that they didn’t help in a ti of need, they would really be in big trouble.
"Elder Song, may I ask where Senior Zhou has gone?" Su Youyi had so interactions with Elder Song Youwang while healing at the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool. Even though Elder Song greatly disapproved of her master, he had given her a few pointers due to Su Youyi’s stunning talents.
"Sword Master has been inford of the matter and might need a while to return," Elder Song Youwang’s expression eased slightly after hearing Su Youyi’s inquiry; at least it seed Liang Yi and the others weren’t being coerced by that Devouring Spirit Sect demoness.
"Tell us what happened," Elder Song Youwang waved his hand signaling others to return and handle sect affairs first, this might just be a misunderstanding.
"This Vermilion Bird Envoy has already defected from the Devouring Spirit Sect, and now she just wants to ascertain her own identity," Liang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved to deal with soone who could talk rationally— it seed a conflict wouldn’t break out.
"Defected from the Devouring Spirit Sect?" Elder Song Youwang looked at Zhou Yuqing with a mix of surprise and confusion; super forces like theirs generally have asures to bind their disciples, and he found it hard to believe that the Devouring Spirit Sect didn’t have any.
But why then could this Vermilion Bird stand here unhard?
"At first, it was the Azure Dragon Envoy who received the order from the Sect Hierarch to hunt down, but later he died at the Complete Heaven Sect," Zhou Yuqing explained casually to Liang Yi and Su Youyi.
"As for the Devouring Spirit Sect’s control thods, for us Four Spirit Envoys, the Four Spirits are both the source of power and a shackle on our backs, but my shackle was accidentally shattered by Emperor Zhou."
"Although the spirit of the Vermilion Bird will not disappear, and will instead gradually recover, I took advantage of that ti to directly use a supre treasure to erase the fallback that Tian Anyu had set within the spirit of the Vermilion Bird."
Upon hearing Zhou Yuqing’s explanation, Liang Yi, Su Youyi, and Mr. Ju suddenly had a mont of realization. No wonder Devouring Spirit Sect seed to have no reaction after such an important Four Spirits envoy defected.
Even though they were recently embroiled and in disarray because of various Super Forces and players, there should still be so reaction, not hiding like a turtle without any at all.
It turned out not that there was no one chasing; the one sent to pursue ended dying halfway, arriving dead before even achieving success.
"But now, eight out of ten it’s the Devouring Spirit Sect has already delegated a new Four Spirits envoy to assassinate . I guess it’s probably that White Tiger Envoy, the one who amongst them is the most bloodthirsty," Zhou Yuqing continued to add, thoroughly familiar with the operation style of the Devouring Spirit Sect.
"Hmph, I won’t ask how you Taoist Sect got involved with this woman, but if you seek identity, why co to our Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool? Don’t tell this woman was originally from our Heavenly Pool."
Upon understanding what had transpired, Song Youwang snorted coldly. Understanding was one thing, but it did not an he would actively cooperate. Their Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool isn’t just a place where anyone can co and go as they please, even Cultivators from the Eighth Realm are not exceptions.
"Our main purpose here is actually to et Elder Zhou," Liang Yi spoke up at this mont. He did not ntion the matter of the back mountain; after all, he wasn’t certain who knew about it. He could only first ntion seeking Elder Zhou Yuzhi.
"Looking for Sword Master?" Song Youwang glanced at Zhou Yuqing, unclear about what sort of relation this woman had with their Sect Master.
Their Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool was devoted to the Sword Dao and hardly knew much about the outside world. Song Youwang only knew that Zhou Yuzhi hailed from the Imperial Family of Xuanzhou and was of the unappreciated kind; otherwise, he would not have co to their Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool to seek the Sword Dao.
As for who Zhou Yuzhi lived with before joining, or who his relatives were, he had no clue at all.
At most, he knew that Zhou Yuzhi’s father was the forr Emperor Zhou, and he also had two poor friends, one nad Chen Hua and one nad Fang Zhi, neither of whom were decent people.
Just as Song Youwang was conflicted about whether to give Taoist Sect a favor and let Liang Yi and the others wait inside, a sword light that was like smoke and mist surged from afar like thunder. Within a second, it was still millions of miles away, and in the next, it appeared right in front of everyone.
A white robe fluttered with the cold wind, and as the snowflakes neared him, they were influenced by the ever-present Sword Intent around his body and directly transford into sword shapes.
The young face gave a sense of steadiness, like a sharp sword in its sheath, ever ready to be drawn out and pierce through the heavens.
Su Youyi looked at the figure, feeling oddly familiar. Glancing down at the Lovesick in her hand, a faint understanding began to form.
The feeling that Sword Master elder gave her was like the currently unsheathed Lovesick—edge concealed, not because it couldn’t be revealed, but because its ti had not yet co.
At that mont, Zhou Yuqing had already widened her eyes.
When Zhou Yuzhi descended, the instant Zhou Yuqing saw his face, a small crack quietly appeared on her Divine Soul, and mories she had never seen before surfaced in her mind.
