Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 267 Nothing more than that!

Pei Lan's words completely exposed Xing Ye's true intentions.

Jin Hong suddenly realized: "Oh! So you were so confident because you're from the imperial court?"

The Martial Arts Platform of Xiao Chen Kingdom was formed by recruiting cultivators from all over the country at great expense by the royal family. It is not a sect, because the Martial Arts Platform does not accept disciples or teach classes. It can only be considered as a group of thugs kept by the court.

A sinister smile crept across Liang Wan's face: "Old man, the martial arts arena, is it? You just wait!"

The feud was now established, and Jin and Liang turned around and immediately split up and ran away, showing their experience.

Xing Ye frowned, turned his face away, both angry and furious but not daring to speak, and glared at Pei Lan.

He wasn't really afraid of these unorthodox individuals causing trouble, but this time he was on orders to target the Changjing Sect, which outwardly cooperated closely with the imperial court, and he absolutely couldn't reveal his identity.

If the matter is exposed, and someone is blamed, they will certainly be severely punished.

"Uh..." Pei Lan was confused, but vaguely felt that she had said something wrong. She smiled awkwardly, "Well, come to Yunhu Mountain again sometime, let's have some tea!"

After saying that, his Taoist robe fluttered, and he darted away in a flash.

Xing Ye clutched his forehead, a breath stuck in his chest, unsure of what to say. Finally, he flung his hand away and sighed, "Oh dear!"

……

When news of Ji Shaofu's attack reached the sect, it quickly shocked the entire sect.

Almost everyone was worried about Ji Shaofu's safety, not only because she possessed the precious Netherworld Flower, but also because Ji Shaofu was exceptionally talented and a guarantee for the future of the sect.

“I don’t think so,” a male disciple of the Long Whale Sect honestly told his companion. “I just want to get my grandmaster’s love, and I don’t want her to die.”

Another disciple who came to help in the herb garden today shook his head: "I don't love Ji Shaofu. She has a small bottom. I like that one, that one."

"Oh, oh, that! I know!"

"Sigh, it's a pity I haven't seen him in so long. Didn't we say we'd go and inquire about which cave he was from?"

"I inquired, but there was no news; everyone said they didn't know."

The brothers didn't care about the future of the sect, nor about the sect leader's Netherworld Flower. They earned two taels of silver a month through pawning, and their cultivation had no future. They just wanted to find a bargain in some cave and a beautiful wife...

The beautiful outer sect female disciple Han Youzhi was currently in her cave dwelling, pondering a somewhat obscure matter with Lu Li—how was Pei Xia doing?

Unfortunately, even Huang Bing's first thought in this situation was Ji Shaofu.

Only Lao Han and Li Zi still care about Pei Xia's life or death.

"They only said it was an attack, but they didn't say what kind of attack it was." Han Youzhi sighed, somewhat annoyed.

Han Youzhi had some knowledge of Pei Xia's strength. Now that he was at the Tongxuan level, dealing with ordinary Kaifu realm cultivators should not be a problem for him.

However, if the opponent is a Transformation Realm expert, the situation might not be so optimistic.

In contrast, Pear was quite relaxed: "Don't worry, if he were dead, the most talked-about news right now wouldn't be about being ambushed on the way."

It should be some evil cultivator or sorcerer wreaking havoc in Dongzhou, causing immense suffering to the people.

As she spoke, Pear reached out and pinched Old Han's smooth, soft side waist: "Don't move."

Deep inside Pei Xia's cave, Han Youzhi had taken off her clothes, revealing her smooth, jade-like back.

On her back, the once fiery red snake-keeper's seal had been reduced to just five red snakes.

During the time Pei Xia was away from the Long Whale Sect, Pear lived up to expectations and finally mastered the method to lift the restriction.

However, limited by her cultivation level, computing power, and experience, she couldn't unravel all six fire snakes at once; she had to do them one by one.

The little hands twisted and turned on Lao Han's smooth, beautiful back, the spiritual energy seeping into the skin, bringing a slight tingling sensation.

However, Han Youzhi was completely unaware of this at the moment. She said with a worried expression, "If he really dies, won't you blame me?"

Lu Li rolled her eyes: "Don't use me as a cover-up. If you ask me, you should have gotten a way to contact him earlier, so you wouldn't have to worry about this."

"I don't care whether he lives or dies," Old Han grumbled, then muttered under his breath, "If I had known, I would have... sigh."

Pear concentrated intently, guiding the fire snake with her fingertips, slowly luring it out from under the skin, and finally uttered a heavy "Got it!"

The fire snakes scattered in response.

Now, Han Youzhi's restrictions only need four more to be completely lifted. Lu Li let out a breath and turned to look outside the cave. A sliver of light shone through the long cave, tinged with a reddish hue, indicating that it was probably afternoon.

It would be a lie to say that Lu Li wasn't worried at all.

After all, it takes time for the message to get back, and several more days have passed now.

If Pei Xia is truly alright, she should have returned to her sect by now.

Could it be that they've gotten into some other kind of trouble?
It is a bit troublesome.

Pei Xia looked up and saw that it was supposed to be the territory of the Long Whale Sect, but all she could see were mountains and forests.
Ji Shaofu lay on his back and muttered softly, "I warned you."

Pei Xia sighed.

After several days of travel, concealing their whereabouts, no one pursued them anymore. They drove their carriage for thousands of miles and finally returned to the outskirts of Qingcheng, to the Changjing Gate.

However, because the area is surrounded by mountains and covers a vast area, Pei Xia, who had reached the other side of the sect, chose to climb the mountain directly rather than go around in a big circle back to the main gate.

So a few days later, he carried Ji Shaofu on his back again.

However, he didn't expect that such a large sect as the Changjing Sect, with its disciples and many brothers from the Cao Gang, should be spread throughout the mountains. How could there be such a desolate foothills?

Seeing Pei Xia sighing, Ji Shaofu secretly laughed behind him.

Well, these past few days, due to her injuries, she, as her senior martial aunt, had no choice but to entrust all matters to Pei Xia.

Instead, I got to see firsthand the martial arts experience of this outer sect elder.

Hiring a car, traveling, and spending the night are all taken into account. In addition to dry rations, he can always hunt wild game. His many injuries have also recovered very well under his care. More importantly, he seems to have a special understanding of how to hide his identity and conceal his whereabouts.

Over the course of several days, Ji Shaofu had already unconsciously developed a certain dependence on him.

Seeing Pei Xia, who was usually so considerate, sighing, she felt a secret joy, as if she had discovered a hidden side of him.

"It's still hot!" Pei Xia complained.

As soon as he finished speaking, a small hand reached out to his forehead, gently wiping away the sweat from his brow with its sleeve.

Ji Shaofu said softly, "Let me wipe it for you."

Actually, Ji Shaofu was also quite hot, but she was just too embarrassed to say it.

Fortunately, he was a cultivator at the Tongxuan Realm after all, and the difficult mountain path could not stop him.

After crossing two mountain peaks, they finally encountered a few disciples who were passing by.

Initially, the disciples of the Long Whale Sect were somewhat wary upon seeing someone, but they all exclaimed in surprise when they realized that the person on their back was Elder Ji Shaofu of the sect.

Soon, the news spread throughout the peaks.

Upon hearing that Ji Shaofu had returned safely, everyone in the sect, from the sect leader to the inner sect elders, flocked to the back mountain.

Huang Bing arrived first. He carefully helped his junior sister down, and looking at her legs, which were difficult to move due to her injury, he couldn't help but have tears well up in his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Pei Xia breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the rock next to her, watching more and more high-ranking members of the Long Whale Sect crowd over.

Once they calm down, they'll probably notice me... Such a great achievement, why not just give me the spot in the Long Whale Sect? What's the point of competing?

Muttering to himself, Pei Xia took the opportunity to untie the wine gourd from his waist, but when he tilted his head back, not a single drop could be poured out, so he couldn't help but smack his lips again.

Then a wine pouch was handed to her from the side, her hand as white and slender as a jade scallion.

Pei Xia looked up and saw Han Youzhi.

He pointed a finger at Old Han and said, "You're really bold."

Those who were able to arrive at this time were all accomplished cultivators. Han Youzhi was able to arrive so quickly, which must have been because he used his Transformation Yuan cultivation.

Fortunately, she blended in with the disciples of this peak, and her clothes were not conspicuous.

Seeing that Pei Xia seemed completely unaffected, Han Youzhi was initially relieved.

But upon closer inspection, two round, damp sweat stains were visible on the back of his shirt.

His good mood vanished instantly. Old Han glanced at the sweat-dampened area, rolled his eyes, and said coldly, "Hmph, nothing special."
