An Unexpected Turn
A gentle breeze rustled by the stream.
A beautiful figure stood quietly.
Even now, Meng Yuyi's heart is still filled with unease.
She was still somewhat conscious.
The thought of actually taking the initiative to do that kind of thing made her cheeks blush slightly.
I was so embarrassed.
However, if she were an ordinary man, even if she were to explode and die, she wouldn't do something like that to save herself.
Could it be that, deep down, she has already quietly accepted Chen Ning?
Chen Ning saved her several times, and unknowingly, this handsome sect leader had already entered her heart.
Even she herself couldn't explain this feeling.
All she knew was that her heart was suddenly in turmoil.
Not knowing how to face Chen Ning, she quietly went to the stream to get some fresh air.
I wanted to use this opportunity to calm down.
At the same time.
Murong Yue, walking leisurely along the stream in the distance, frowned, his mind churning as he made a decision.
Suddenly, he caught sight of a graceful and alluring figure.
A beautiful woman standing by the stream is an absolutely stunning sight.
"Beautiful!"
So beautiful!
Murong Yue couldn't help but quicken his pace, wanting to get closer, but at that moment, Chen Ning came out of the house and came to the side of that beautiful figure.
Suddenly, a strong feeling of jealousy welled up in my heart.
Murong Yue is so envious!!
As the sect leader of the Wind and Cloud Sect, he had been wandering around Spirit Province for many years, but he had never experienced such a stunning feeling.
Just seeing the back of a beautiful woman makes me feel that my life is complete.
If only I could have the pleasure of kissing her?
Then it'll take off immediately!!!
However, he didn't know either of them.
Murong Yue's brows quickly relaxed as he recalled the Grand Elder's words from yesterday.
I understand.
These two are the ones who saved Elder He and his group in the secret realm.
Thinking of this, he stepped forward.
He said loudly, "You two saved my sect's Grand Elder, and I, the sect leader, should thank you in person."
Chen Ning wanted to talk to Meng Yuyi about the three things they had discussed that day.
But the sect leader of the Wind and Cloud Sect arrived uninvited.
Somewhat disappointing.
Chen Ning replied, "It was nothing, no need to be so polite. And it's all thanks to the beautiful scenery here that I was able to recover so quickly."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yue was slightly startled.
To speak to oneself with such composure must mean one has something to rely on.
Moreover, according to the Grand Elder, these two were able to defeat Nie Kuang, Earth Martial Realm Third Level, so their cultivation must also be quite strong.
So he cautiously asked, "May I ask where you two are from? You possess such strength; I hope to pay you a visit and express my gratitude another day."
Chen Ning thought for a moment and gave a generic answer, "We two came from the Desolate Province to explore the Spirit Province. We were new here and accidentally entered the Void Forbidden Land, which is how we met Elder He."
"I see."
Murong Yue nodded, still somewhat doubtful.
However, it also gave me a general understanding of their abilities.
Although he had killed two Nie family experts, Chen Ning was indeed Essence Power when he was found deep inside the cave.
It seems that during their battle with the eldest member of the Nie family, the opponent used some desperate tactics, thus exhausting their energy. This means that their cultivation level is at most around the Earth Martial Realm Fifth Level.
They were on par with the Nie brothers.
Based on the information provided by the old man in black robes, Murong Yue deduced the following.
However, he was unaware that Nie Liu later obtained the Demon Lord's inheritance, causing his cultivation to surge to the Earth Martial Sixth Level.
What's even more unknown is that Meng Yuyi didn't participate in the entire attack.
"Very well, I, the sect master, will not disturb your cultivation any longer. However, you must stay for a few more days; the entire Wind and Cloud Sect will be very grateful to you two."
Murong Yue gave these instructions.
Then they left.
After walking a certain distance, his expression darkened, and his eyes were filled with intense greed.
If Chen Ning and his companion stay for another day or two, the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion will come knocking on their door.
"At that time... this peerless beauty will belong to me Murong Yue!"
Murong Yue could not hide his smile and walked away into the distance.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Ning and his companion have rested enough here.
Over the course of two days, Chen Ning clearly sensed that Meng Yuyi seemed somewhat different from before.
She seemed less indifferent, but still didn't really pay attention to me.
Fortunately, it's alright.
Whether it was due to the other person's carelessness or not, the large hole in the wall of their room remained unrepaired.
Instead, it became a channel for the two to chat at night.
Exchange what you have and what you don't.
Meng Yuyi would occasionally chuckle softly, covering her mouth, at the jokes Chen Ning told.
As for their intimate encounter that day, neither of them mentioned it, much to their tacit agreement.
This day.
The day to return to the sect had arrived.
Cang Yue and the little girl's Life-Seizer calls were frantically urging Chen Ning to go back as soon as possible.
Chen Ning thought to himself, "They don't even know how to save their Voice Transmission Spirit Stone."
She went out with Meng Yuyi, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Lake!
Alas, the Martial Venerable!
How safe!
She's not going to eat herself, is she?
Early in the morning, Chen Ning and Meng Yuyi stepped out of the house, but they vaguely felt that something was amiss.
Something's not right...
Chen Ning looked into the distance, his gaze sharpening.
The deafening sounds of battle came from that direction.
Meng Yuyi turned her head to look at him, a hint of doubt appearing on her Wuxia face.
"At this time of day, many disciples of the Wind and Cloud Sect would already be training, but there shouldn't be such loud shouts of battle, right?"
Chen Ning took Meng Yuyi's soft hand and walked along the stream.
Meng Yuyi let Chen Ning lead her without any resistance.
Her cheeks flushed almost imperceptibly.
These past two days, although the old man in black robes seemed preoccupied, he still summoned the two of them to a banquet every day. Therefore, Chen Ning knew their location and route.
Soon, they arrived at the Wind and Cloud Sect's martial arts arena.
The training ground was now like a battlefield, with countless disciples of the Wind and Cloud Sect lying dead.
A group of martial artists dressed in black were slaughtering the disciples of the Wind and Cloud Sect.
One by one, vibrant lives withered away before my very eyes.
These disciples were all ordinary disciples of the Wind and Cloud Sect. They were young, had low cultivation levels, and many were only at the Body Tempering Realm and had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation.
Their lives were ended.
Screams of agony.
The sounds of fighting.
The sound was incessant for a time.
In the distance, several elders of the Wind and Cloud Sect were also fighting desperately, but the enemy outnumbered them several times over.
They were all martial artists whose cultivation levels far surpassed theirs.
Holding out was already extremely difficult, so they could only watch helplessly as their disciples were slaughtered.
A warrior in black raised his sword, about to behead a young disciple.
Boom!
A palm print flew out.
The black-clad warrior was instantly reduced to a bloody mess.
There was no sound.
This unexpected change quickly attracted the attention of the black-clad warriors present.
Several figures rushed towards Chen Ning.
"Destroy them!"
Chen Ning stood indifferently, his hand flicking as he activated [Bewitch Hearts]. More than half of the black-clad warriors' pupils constricted sharply, their weapons instantly becoming uncontrollable, and they turned to attack their own men.
In the blink of an eye, the figures of twenty black-clad warriors fell to the ground.
"Retreat immediately!"
Chen Ning shouted, urging the surviving disciples of the Wind and Cloud Sect to flee the martial arts arena.
Regardless of the circumstances, the old man in black robes acted out of kindness, bringing the two of them to a secluded spot in the Wind and Cloud Sect to recuperate. There was no reason for them to stand by and watch them die.
