I am a villain and have been captured. Why are the fairies asking me to come out?

at the same time.

In a restaurant about fifty or sixty meters away from the two of them.

A figure with a temperament very different from others was standing by the brothel, sipping a glass of wine carefully.

Chapter 29: Determination

"Second Brother was right..."

The figure in the restaurant muttered to himself, "The eldest sister is indeed closely related to the leader of the Demon Cult."

As the chief disciple of the largest sect of the righteous path, he actually had an affair with the leader of the Demon Cult... It would have been fine if it happened at any other time, but it happened at the critical moment when the righteous alliance was about to launch a large-scale attack on the Demon Cult.

The meaning behind this, if we put it in a broader sense, is something that the entire Yuheng Immortal Sect cannot afford.

If the evidence could be spread out, not to mention the position of the chief of the inner sect, under the pressure from the whole sect and even the entire righteous alliance, the eldest sister’s cultivation and even her life would not be able to be saved.

Of course...his words alone are not enough to be considered as evidence.

He took out a transparent crystal from his sleeve pouch, pointed it at the two people who were cuddling together on the market street, and quietly injected a few strands of spiritual power into it.

"With this photo stone as evidence, let's see how the sect master can protect you..."

The people behind the brothel seemed to see the scene where the second senior brother rewarded himself with countless spirit stones and precious medicines after becoming the chief of the inner sect.

As long as this is accomplished, the second elder brother promised to use resources to help him reach the Yuantai realm in the future. Even if there is no further progress, he can still get a position as an elder in the sect and call the shots over the lower-level disciples.

Outside the sect, a Yuantai cultivator is a giant figure who can shock the mortal world with just a stomp of his foot. He can be said to have truly unparalleled cultivation and majesty.

The shadow stone was activated by spiritual power, and the transparent stone body emitted a bright light, projecting pictures in the light...

Just when his mind was in turmoil and he thought he was about to succeed, a layer of light blue light suddenly emerged from the Flowing Shadow Stone, filling the entire crystal and obliterating all the images.

Immediately afterwards, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the stone surface!

“The Soul Refining Realm?!” The joy on that figure’s face instantly turned into astonishment.

He didn't understand. The eldest senior sister was just a Jindan cultivator. Why did she have the soul refining domain to protect her?

When one reaches the realm of refining the spirit, they can be called half-immortals, waiting to further shed their mortal bodies and attain enlightenment to become immortals. How can a mere photo stone be qualified to record their images?

Bang!

The shadow stone exploded before my eyes.

……

On the market street, the jade pendant in Li Yulo's sleeve suddenly felt hot.

"Eh?" She took out the jade token in confusion, only to find that the light blue jade token was still intact, without any abnormality, and even the temperature was still as cold as before.

Yan Mobai noticed her movements and asked, "Is there anything unusual with the Sect Master's talisman?"

There was nothing in his hands, as the string of candied haws had already been shared by the two men, each taking a bite.

"It seemed a little hot just now..." The girl touched the jade token in surprise, "It's not hot now."

Yan Mobai's expression was slightly solemn.

The jade token was given to him by Qian Qiuxue, who said that it could keep both of them safe before sunset, so it must have some extraordinary qualities.

The jade token was now hot, and there was no movement around. It seemed that the jade token had protected them from the disaster just now.

He realized that he had let his guard down too much.

The present enjoyment was just a small matter. If Li Yulo was punished by the sect because of it, he would probably regret this day for the rest of his life.

Just because no one here knows them doesn't mean there aren't people with ulterior motives following them from outside, especially the second disciple...

The jade token could protect them from a disaster once, but it might not be able to protect them from a second disaster.

"We should be more careful next time." He whispered, "The talisman is getting hot. It's very likely that someone is secretly spying on us."

The girl's bright eyes gradually dimmed, she lowered her head and hummed softly.

The two of them moved a little apart, not too far nor too close, just the right distance between Senior Sister Yuheng and the Demon Cult's leader.

……

When they arrived at the theater, the play was about to begin and the ordinary seats were already full. Li Yulo paid ten taels of silver and chose a private seat on the corridor on the second floor.

The waiter brought a plate of tea and fruit and placed it on the coffee table in front of the two of them.

The curtain on the theater slowly opened behind his thin figure. Along with the sound of gongs and drums, several actors with painted faces entered from the side. Each of them was wearing a cloud robe and holding a long sword. They looked tall, majestic and powerful.

The erhu sounded and the opera tune began to be sung on the stage.

Then many actors in black robes appeared on the stage. They were all short in stature and had ugly makeup on their faces. They were beaten by the men in cloud robes and fled away in fear.

Li Yulo didn't understand what the actors meant by rolling around on the stage, nor could he hear what the tortuous opera tunes were singing. He could only vaguely hear from the conversations of the spectators in the private seats nearby that it seemed to be related to the major immortal sects' expedition to the Western Regions tomorrow.

The people in the Immortal City had more or less heard about the sect's deeds, so it was not surprising that the Immortal Sect wanted to conquer the Western Regions.

But when it comes to staging this incident as a drama, it is hard to believe that there is no shadow of someone from the Immortal Sect behind it.

After all, they are preparing for war, and the atmosphere in all aspects has to be lively... Perhaps those mortals are quite curious about the affairs of the immortal sect, but Li Yulo is not interested at all.

She wanted to see a play, but she wanted to see more than just the play.

The girl secretly turned her head to see what the leader next to her was doing, but found that he was also looking at her.

The shyness of her little trick being discovered made her blush slightly, and she quickly looked away, angrily saying, "Why are you staring at me, Master? Aren't you afraid of being discovered now?"

"Fairy Li looks so attractive. If I stare at you, everyone will just think that the leader of the demon cult is greedy for beauty."

Yan Mobai said seriously, "But if you look at me, you can't explain it by saying that Senior Sister likes men."

"Ouch... That's so unfair."

The girl murmured, and the blush on her face unknowingly spread to her neck.

After the play on stage was over, she remembered that she had forgotten to correct the name the leader had used.

Until the show ended and everyone left, Li Yulo still didn't understand what the play was about, but the leader's look at that time was deeply imprinted in her mind and could not be erased.

After leaving the theater, the two went to a nearby teahouse to have lunch. Li Yulo ordered many dishes, all of which were meat. In the end, most of them ended up in Yan Mobai's stomach, who had been eating white rice for half a month.

After dinner, a storyteller came to the teahouse. He banged the gavel very loudly, but his voice was so dull and so dark that it made people's scalps split.

In his duck-like hoarse voice, the two of them quietly escaped through the front door.

They wandered around the city aimlessly, stopping at every interesting place, and setting off again when the novelty wore off.

The girl always kept a distance from the leader, not making any unnecessary movements or saying any unnecessary words.

The number of people on the street gradually thinned out. The setting sun sank to the end of the long street, and the twilight dyed the entire Suzaku City blood red.

The day finally came to an end.

Li Yuluo's steps suddenly stopped and she grabbed the corner of the clothes of the person next to her.

"Master...I'm sorry."

The girl suddenly found unprecedented courage and no longer cared about the passers-by. She stood on tiptoe, hugged the leader who had just turned around, and kissed him on the lips in the gazes of countless passers-by.

This time the kiss was particularly passionate. She didn't know how long they kissed. Even when they broke up, she kept her eyes closed, as if she didn't want to wake up from that rich happiness.

After a long time, the girl opened her eyes, tears welling up around her light purple pupils.

She lowered her head and wiped her eyes.

The leader did not blame her for her impulsiveness, but wiped the tears from her chin: "Why are you crying?"

"I'm just... very happy." When the girl raised her head, there was an exceptionally bright smile on her face.

She cherishes the happiness in front of her very much.

If things don't go well next, from now on... she may never have the chance to feel this way again.

Chapter 30: Day of Expedition

The next day.

The vast sea of ​​clouds that had shrouded Yuheng Mountain for thousands of years finally dissipated on this day.

The shadow under the mountainside did not dissipate. A huge ship that covered the sky and the sun was quietly hanging on the top of Yuheng Mountain. The bow of the ship was as tall as a mountain, and the mast pierced the sky, blocking out all the sunlight and casting an endless shadow.

The world was silent, and from time to time, a beam of light would fly up from the mountain, draw a long trajectory, and fall into the belly of the giant ship.

The silver-haired woman stood barefoot on the top of the mast. In her eyes, all the high mountains and dangerous peaks looked like sand, the clouds turned into small pieces, and the big river turned into a thin crystal line, which could not be seen clearly without careful observation.

Strong winds were blowing in the sky thousands of feet high, and even the finest iron would be blown into pieces in an instant, but her fragile figure stood there, and even the hem of her skirt was not damaged at all.

There was still no hairpin on Qian Qiuxue's head, and her silver hair fluttered in the strong wind. Her eyes did not look towards the Western Regions, but were staring at a certain place in the mountains below her feet.

The entire world was reflected in her crimson pupils, with only a green mountain always in the center.

"I hope to see you again someday. You are just the leader of the Demon Cult."

Qian Qiuxue whispered to herself, barely audible amid the howling wind.

She suddenly raised her jade hand and pressed it down again.

when! !

The grand and deep bell sound spread from the top of Yuheng Mountain to the entire sect. Winds and clouds surged in all directions, and all things within a thousand miles were startled.

"I am Qian Qiuxue, the seventh generation leader of the Yuheng Immortal Sect. Today I want to attack the Western Regions. I ask all the Supreme Immortals to follow me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, every supreme elder in the mountain was horrified.

Eight powerful auras suddenly appeared from the top of the mountain and rushed straight into the sky.

The first to appear was an old man with white hair and long beard, holding a whisk in his hand. His kind face was now filled with anger: "Master Cheng and Master Wang have agreed to go with you to conquer the Western Regions. Don't you think that's not enough?"

Two immortal lights also rose from the giant boat below and transformed into two ethereal Taoists beside Qian Qiuxue. They were the Master Cheng and Master Wang mentioned by the old man.

One of them said earnestly, "Master Qianqiu, if all the great elders go to the Western Regions, who will look after the mountain gate?"

Another person also advised: "The rest of the righteous sects have sent more than ten great soul cultivators in total. With the three of us, it is enough to pacify the Western Regions. Why do we need to mobilize so many great elders to take action?"

Qian Qiuxue didn't even look at them, her beautiful eyes coldly staring at the top of Yuheng Mountain: "I have already rung the celestial bell to summon you to discuss matters, why haven't the other supreme elders come to see me yet!"

After hearing what she said, the remaining seven supreme elders on the top of Yuheng Mountain had to transform into light and fly onto the giant boat.

A middle-aged Taoist shouted, "It was clearly agreed before that Master Cheng and Master Wang would go with the Sect Master. Why are you summoning us now?"

Qian Qiuxue glanced at the person who was speaking and said, "I have changed my mind now. Does the elder have any objection?"

"You..." The Supreme Elder who was speaking felt furious, but he couldn't vent his anger in front of Qian Qiuxue, and his face turned blue and white.

Another person shouted, "All the Supremes have come out in full force, leaving the rear empty. Isn't the Sect Master afraid that someone will take the opportunity to attack the mountain gate?"

"With the mountain protection formation in place, why should we fear an attack?" Qian Qiuxue waved her sleeves, and the sect master's talisman flew out, emitting a light blue halo. "I have made up my mind. I ask all the supreme elders to follow me to attack the Western Region. Those who disobey my order will be killed!"

When they saw her showing the sect leader's letter, the supreme elders immediately knew that the matter could not be resolved peacefully. If they continued to reject the other party's wishes, it would be tantamount to violating the sect leader's order, and Qian Qiuxue could kill her at any time.

"Qian Qiuxue, you lunatic!"

One person cursed angrily, but still stayed where he was, not daring to turn around and leave, for fear of being slapped to death by Qian Qiuxue.

The old man holding the whisk, that is, Lin Jiumu, had a fierce look in his eyes: "If the sect master insists on having his own way, we have to fight today!"

Hearing him say this, all the great elders focused their attention on Qian Qiuxue.

What Lin Jiumu meant, of course, was not a one-on-one fight with Qian Qiuxue, but Qian Qiuxue fighting all of them alone!

Under their astonished gaze, Qian Qiuxue nodded slightly.

"Then let's do it once."

After a brief silence, more than ten rays of immortal light rushed into the sky.

The disciples below saw colorful balls of light exploding silently in the azure blue sky, as if fairy flowers were blooming, extremely gorgeous and beautiful.

They didn't know what was happening in the sky, they just felt that the scenery was so beautiful that they had never seen anything like it in their life.

Not long after, the elders arrived and said that it was an auspicious sign from heaven, symbolizing that Yuheng was acting on behalf of heaven and was favored by heaven, hence this beautiful scene.

The disciples were all excited and felt that this battle would be a great victory.

There was only a girl in a white dress standing in the courtyard halfway up the mountain, her beautiful eyes looking at the sky anxiously.

"Master..."
