"I said long ago that this lad not only had astonishing talent for cultivation, but a mind as fine as dust. With him back, the Seventh Peak won't have any trouble, at least before the grand competition."
Meng Qingqiu, Peak Lord of the Sixth Peak, spoke to Xu Ziyan beside her as she watched from behind.
Xu Ziyan nodded and let out a long breath.
Lin Buyu, standing beside them, merely frowned.
Unlike Meng Qingqiu and Xu Ziyan, her attention was entirely on Xu Taiping's covered eye and the scars across his body that had yet to fade.
Boom!
Just then, Jin Yue sent another slash of sword qi down at the barrier over the Moon Perching Pavilion.
Bang! The barrier surrounding the Moon Perching Pavilion immediately grew much more transparent again.
"This is an emergency! I will answer for my offense before the Seven Discipline Hall afterward!"
Then Jin Yue shouted and swung his sword straight down at the barrier below.
A Peak Lord of the Azure Profound Sect did indeed have the authority to act first and report afterward. Even if he were held accountable later, his punishment would not be too severe.
"Junior Brother, do what you need to do! He can forget about breaking through this barrier!"
As Zhao Linglong shouted, she flung out the Immortal Silk in her hand to meet Jin Yue's descending sword.
Bang!
Amid the violent crash, the barrier held, but Jin Yue's sword severed a length of Zhao Linglong's Immortal Silk.
"Pfft!"
Because it was her bonded magic artifact, Zhao Linglong suffered a grievous injury as well when the Immortal Silk was severed, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Although her cultivation had advanced considerably over the past three years, she was still far below Peak Lord Jin Yue.
Bang!
