Encountering Yun Yun Again

Yue Mei simply watched him with a beaming smile and nodded, as if signaling for Jia Lie Jun to continue. Jia Lie Jun braced himself and went on, "I believe humans and the Snake People Tribe should be equal. The two races should cast aside prejudice, coexist peacefully, and blend with each other."

Yue Mei listened, absorbed. Suddenly, Jia Lie Jun swept a foot across the ground, kicking up a great cloud of yellow sand that fine-grainedly struck toward Yue Mei, and shouted, "Flying Sand and Stones!" The shout was laced with Spiritual Power, and it actually left Yue Mei dazed for a moment.

Yue Mei came back to herself and rubbed her jade-like hands over her eyes, where the yellow sand had blown in. Looking out, she saw that Jia Lie Jun had already fled several miles away. "Little bastard, big sister doesn't like disobedient men, you know." Though her words were full of seductive charm, her pretty face was covered in frost. She, Yue Mei, the dignified leader of a Snake-People Tribe, had actually been tricked by a mere Dou Shi. If others found out, wouldn't they laugh their teeth out?

Yue Mei snorted coldly. Her green wings gave a slight flap, and her figure chased after Jia Lie Jun like lightning. After a few flashes, she was already only several zhang away from him. The sound of air being torn apart came from beside his ear. Jia Lie Jun looked back and saw Yue Mei watching him with a smiling face. At once, he felt a chill surge straight up the back of his skull.

"Old He, Sect Leader Yun seems a little strange. I keep feeling like she has a lot on her mind." A burly middle-aged man with bare arms scratched his head and spoke with a puzzled expression.

The middle-aged man called Old He nodded, his brows tightly furrowed, his eyes staring straight at a figure ahead dressed in a black robe, wrapped up so tightly that nothing showed. Although that person was covered securely, from her slender, graceful, and enchanting figure, one could judge that she was a woman; it was merely unknown what her appearance was like.

"Mister Gu is deeply devoted to Sect Leader Yun, but the falling flower yearns to follow the flowing water, while the flowing water has no heart to cherish the falling flower. Master Gu is the only Sixth-grade Alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire, yet Sect Leader Yun doesn't care in the slightest. Who knows what kind of extraordinary man could enter Sect Leader Yun's heart?" The few people to the side exchanged looks, all sighing inwardly in unspoken agreement.

"I'm going to speed up. Keep up closely." A crisp, pleasant voice entered their ears, like a clear spring, refreshing the heart and spirit. Immediately after, her Dou Qi wings flapped rapidly, and wherever she passed, they swept up yellow sand that filled the sky.

"If there's really no other way, I can only use my trump card." Looking at Yue Mei pursuing him relentlessly from behind, Jia Lie Jun steeled his heart. Purple Fire abruptly spread over his entire body, and his hands were just about to form seals. Suddenly, a sharp sword ray came slashing straight at Yue Mei. Yue Mei's figure retreated explosively. Facing this plain and unadorned sword ray, she actually acted as if facing a great enemy. Dou Qi surged all over her body, waves of fierce wind blowing in every direction, while her jade-like hands danced at high speed. In the blink of an eye, a giant serpent condensed from Dou Qi charged head-on toward the sword ray. In an instant, the two collided violently, producing a thunderous boom.

Jia Lie Jun turned to look and saw a person wearing a black robe. Their figure flashed rapidly, and in the next instant, they were already before him. Immediately after, several sounds of air being torn rang out, and in the blink of an eye, several figures had flown over. Yue Mei lifted her head to look, and her pupils contracted. Five pairs of Dou Qi wings entered her sight, filling her heart with shock.

"May I ask why several honored guests have paid a late-night visit?" Yue Mei was worthy of being the leader of a Snake-People Tribe. Faced with such a lineup, she only took an instant to suppress the shock in her heart and respond calmly.

The Dou Wang exchanged a glance. Then a middle-aged man slowly stepped forward a few paces, a faint smile on his face that gave others a feeling as warm as a spring breeze. He cupped his hands and said with a light laugh, "I am Gu He. I have business to attend to in the Tagor Desert. I wonder if Your Excellency could lead us into the depths of the desert to meet your noble queen. After all, with the leader of a Snake-People Tribe guiding us, we can avoid quite a few conflicts. Otherwise, if conflict breaks out, that would not be good."

"You want to meet the noble queen of my Snake People Tribe? Truly wishful thinking. My Snake People Tribe and you humans have been enemies for many years. Since you have come deep into the desert this time, you must be harboring ill intentions. I advise you to leave at once. Otherwise, when the eight great tribal leaders of my Snake People Tribe gather, we will make sure you come and never return." Yue Mei sneered, her gaze filled with dense killing intent. Who knew how much Snake-People blood stained the hands of these Dou Wang before her? She hated that she could not kill them immediately.

"Old He, I told you there was no need to discuss anything with this Snake Person. We should just fight our way to their door and beat them until they submit. I guarantee they'll obediently listen. If we tell them to go east, they won't dare go west." A burly man glared angrily at Yue Mei. He had a deep blood feud with the Snake People Tribe. If Gu He had not instructed him not to resort to force lightly, he would have already started fighting.

For some reason, Jia Lie Jun kept feeling as though a pair of eyes was staring straight at him. He turned his head to look and saw the black-robed person quickly turn away, avoiding Jia Lie Jun's gaze. Jia Lie Jun sized up the black-robed person, and when he saw the uniquely shaped longsword in their hand, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He slowly walked toward the black-robed person.

Hearing footsteps, the black-robed person turned to look and saw Jia Lie Jun slowly walking toward her. The jade-like hand gripping the longsword tightened, actually seeping a little sweat. Seeing the black-robed person's slightly flustered appearance, Jia Lie Jun gave a light laugh and thought inwardly, Yun'er, trying to hide your identity from me? You're still a little too inexperienced. I'm someone who's read the script.

In truth, Jia Lie Jun had guessed earlier that the black-robed person was Yun Yun. However, to be safe, he had not rashly made a decision. It was only when he saw the longsword in the black-robed person's hand that he became completely certain the black-robed person was Yun Yun. Moreover, based on the plot, Pill King Gu He had entered the Tagor Desert at this time to seize Heavenly Flames, and Yun Yun had also come to help.

"Heroine, save me! I accidentally entered the desert and lost my way, then this hateful snake woman captured me and tortured me brutally. You have to avenge me." Jia Lie Jun grabbed Yun Yun's jade-like hand and gently scratched her palm.

"This stinking brat must have guessed my identity. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't dare be so rude." Earlier, when she saw Jia Lie Jun sizing up the longsword in her hand, she had faintly felt that he might have guessed who she was, but it was already too late to put it away. This uniquely shaped longsword of hers had been forged by her alone; in the entire Jia Ma Empire, there was only this one. Yun Yun pinched Jia Lie Jun without a trace, but Jia Lie Jun held on tightly and refused to let go. The little movements between the two of them went completely unnoticed by everyone else.

Yun Yun's pretty face flushed red, and her heart filled with helplessness. She could only let him keep holding her hand. Fortunately, she was wearing a black robe at this moment. Otherwise, if others saw the dignified Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect showing such a young girl's demeanor, they would surely be shocked speechless. Still, she also secretly rejoiced that she had arrived in time. When she had been traveling earlier, she had faintly sensed the connection of the Heart of the Sea Armor. Within a certain distance, she could sense this Heart of the Sea Armor. And she had given this Heart of the Sea Armor to Jia Lie Jun, which was why she had rushed over in time.
