Snatching Back the Ice Flame Grass

After the upper ranks of Duan Nian Palace learned of it, they immediately sent Han Qianxue before Qing Mo. They were not afraid of him making demands; they were afraid he had none.

"Senior, can I join the battlefield too?"

Shen Yunrong was worried that if this dragged on too long, Qing Mo would grow displeased. But right now, she was learning behind Liu Yurou, and her Palace Master and the Grand Elder felt this was a rare opportunity, so they had not let Shen Yunrong take part.

The two great hegemonic forces of the Western Sea had been locked in battle for these ten days. The subordinate forces under them had also suffered disastrous losses. Blood dyed vast stretches of sea red, and countless corpses floated on the surface, which only ended up benefiting those sea-dwelling demonic beasts.

Qing Mo had somehow caught a sheep and was roasting it whole. Hearing Shen Yunrong say this, he was too lazy to even turn his head. "Do as you like. This Young Master only cares about the result. A few bugs are coming this way. Deal with them. Don't let there be a next time!"

Hearing this, Shen Yunrong immediately spread her divine sense to its limit and at once discovered three people sneaking over from the east. She instantly flew eastward.

"And here I was wondering who it was. So it's Cloud Pavilion Hall's Second Elder and Third Elder, plus a Chief Disciple! No wonder the Palace Master said she hadn't seen any sign of you all for several days."

Shen Yunrong had already arrived before the three of them. It seemed they also knew Qing Mo was a guest in Duan Nian Palace and had been thinking of coming over to make contact with him.

"Saintess Shen, we know that a mighty expert is staying as a guest in Duan Nian Palace, and we also know that you decided to go to war with our Cloud Pavilion Hall because of that mighty expert. Our Hall Master spoke to your Palace Master about laying down arms and making peace, but your Palace Master attacked the moment she came up. We had no choice but to come seek that mighty expert. We hope you will introduce us!"

The Cloud Pavilion Hall Second Elder's attitude was still fairly polite. These past few days, they had infiltrated Duan Nian Palace while most of its upper ranks and mid-to-high-level disciples had gone to the battlefield, searching many places in Duan Nian Palace because they wanted to find Qing Mo and ask him to make the people of Duan Nian Palace stop. Now that Shen Yunrong had discovered them and blocked their path, it meant Qing Mo was not far away.

"Second Elder, there's no need to say such things. I won't take you to disturb Senior. It was Senior who told me to come handle you. If Cloud Pavilion Hall suddenly lost two elders and one Chief Disciple, wouldn't the pressure on our Duan Nian Palace lessen by quite a lot?

Shen Yunrong directly drew her treasured sword and pointed it straight at the three people before her.

The three from Cloud Pavilion Hall's faces darkened. Their original intention had been to avoid fighting if they could. If they alerted the upper ranks left to guard the palace, not only would they fail to accomplish their task, they might even lose their lives here.

Shen Yunrong did not care what they were thinking. She only wanted to deal with the three of them as quickly as possible.

"Hmph! Don't think that just because you're the Duan Nian Palace Saintess, you can do anything to the three of us. As long as we finish you off quickly, we can definitely escape!"

The Cloud Pavilion Hall Chief Disciple was the first to charge forward, but who would have known he would die under Shen Yunrong's sword in a single exchange? The Second Elder and Third Elder furrowed their brows tightly. Without any unnecessary hesitation, the two attacked Shen Yunrong at the same time.

"I really couldn't tell! At such a young age, you're already at the middle stage of Dao Integration. But the two of us are also at the middle stage of Dao Integration. Under our joint attack, you're dead for certain!"

"What a pity for a genius like you!"

The more the Second Elder and Third Elder fought, the more they felt something was wrong. Shen Yunrong's spiritual energy fluctuations were clearly only at the middle stage of Dao Integration, and with the two of them working together, killing her should not have taken too much time. But now, they were the ones being suppressed by her instead!

"Enough. You've used your full strength too. Time to send you to your deaths!"

Shen Yunrong carried the heads of the three from Cloud Pavilion Hall in her hand, and after reporting back to Qing Mo, she immediately headed for the battlefield. Because of Shen Yunrong's addition, the originally evenly matched situation was instantly broken. Cloud Pavilion Hall began to be unable to withstand the attacks and was forced to activate its sect-protecting grand array, shrinking back into its sect like a turtle.

Cloud Pavilion Hall learned that its Second Elder and Third Elder had failed to meet that mighty expert, and that their heads had instead been delivered before them by another family's Saintess. They began to regret why they had not handed over the Ice Flame Grass when Duan Nian Palace demanded it. While the two sides remained locked in a stalemate, Qing Mo was thinking of changing Liu Yurou to a better constitution.

"Yurou, your innate spiritual body is way too trash. I'll help you swap it for something better!"

"Master, is mine really trash? Out of a hundred thousand people, barely fewer than five awaken spiritual bodies!"

"In my eyes, it's trash."

Hearing Qing Mo say this, Liu Yurou lowered her head as well. "All right! You're the big shot. If you say it's trash, then it's trash!"

"I'll swap you to a Myriad Sword Divine Body, and add a Nine Orifice Exquisite Sword Heart. Your future accomplishments will far surpass your past!"

Liu Yurou, Han Qianxue, and even Da Bai widened their eyes, unable to believe the words that had come from Qing Mo's mouth. Weren't spiritual bodies awakened from birth? The probability of awakening one was already terrifyingly small, yet they could actually be bestowed?

Seeing that they did not believe him, Qing Mo directly brought Liu Yurou into the room. After half a day, with the system's help, Liu Yurou came out of the room, her entire person still numb. She could not believe her innate spiritual body had become a divine body!

Now that Liu Yurou possessed both a divine body and a sword heart, her comprehension of the sword path had risen by who knew how many levels. The feelings in her heart were beyond description. This was even more shocking and joyous than when she discovered she had been reborn into the past!

"Thank you, Master. Yurou has no way to repay you in this life. No matter how far I can go in the future, I will forever be your maid!"

Da Bai and Han Qianxue looked at Liu Yurou as if they were looking at a sword. That sword intent that pressed forward without turning back, soaring straight into the clouds, came sweeping toward their faces. And this was still the effect after Liu Yurou had suppressed it.

In Qing Mo's eyes, this counted as acceptable. Liu Yurou's current comprehension of the sword path could be considered advancing a thousand miles in a single day.

"Host, you're not going to tell me to put it on credit again this time, are you? Helping your little maid swap in these things costs a lot of energy!"

"Do I look like the kind of person who puts things on credit at the drop of a hat? What kind of person do you take me for?"

"Heh heh!!! I seem to remember that you've never paid for anything you took from the shop, have you?"

In its heart, the system frantically despised this host. It was also its own fault for giving this stingy bastard access to the shop.

"Did I? Have I really never paid?"

Qing Mo suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He was already a big shot, and it was not like he lacked money. But then again, his instincts also felt that since he had been chosen, wasn't using some of the system's things perfectly reasonable?

In the end, he paid half of this account. As for the previous ones... they were all family, so there was no need to be so distant!

After Liu Yurou finished thanking him, she immediately went to massage Qing Mo. To the side, Han Qianxue had originally felt somewhat resistant in her heart after Qing Mo demanded that she be his maid, and had even thought this big shot was that sort of person. As a result, when she helped Qing Mo knead his legs, she worked even harder!

With two days still remaining before the half-month deadline, under Duan Nian Palace's unceasing attacks, the people of Duan Nian Palace finally broke through Cloud Pavilion Hall's grand array. Shen Yunrong successfully killed Lu Yunchuan and seized back the Ice Flame Grass. When Cloud Pavilion Hall's Hall Master saw his son killed, he flew into a thunderous rage and wanted to perish together with Duan Nian Palace's upper ranks. Unfortunately, he was defeated by the joint efforts of Duan Nian Palace's Palace Master and Shen Yunrong. Cloud Pavilion Hall was reduced to ashes and became history.

"Senior, this is the Ice Flame Grass you wanted."
