SFS Chapter 228: Deterrence
Chapter 228: Deterrence
Because Qin Zhixue built the immortal foundation "The Bright Moon Rises Over the Sea", she was known to the world as the "Bright Moon Fairy".
"The 'Fiend Blade Alliance' has invaded... and entered Lingxi Peak... and now, Fairy Mingyue has arrived... she has come for Master Yang!" Ye Hengyuan said, taking a deep breath.
Among the other peaks, Ye Rui, whose beard was all white and whose eyesight was failing, also gazed at the distant sky.
At this moment, his eyes shone with excitement, and he was extremely excited.
Legend has it that the "Moon Fairy" rarely goes out...
"She's been like a frozen valley for over thirty years, only emerging no more than five times, yet now she's come for Mr. Yang... Their relationship is anything but simple!"
"It seems we were all wrong..." Ye Mingxuan whispered beside him.
Over the years, Yang Jiuli has remained aloof from worldly affairs, allowing Ye Cangliu to act arbitrarily.
The Ye family members all said that Yang Jiuli did not have a deep relationship with the immortal sect, which is why they dared not interfere.
But now, Yang Jiuli seems to be in some danger, so Fairy Mingyue has come in person.
There were also two Core Formation cultivators protecting him outside.
Such a display of power is truly remarkable.
The nature of her relationship with Yang Jiuli is self-evident.
Ye Hong and the other Ye clan cultivators all took a deep breath.
Lingxi Peak.
Yang Jiuli activated the formation.
A cloud of mist rolled in, accompanied by a cold front.
Immediately, Yang Jiuli flew into the air on his sword.
Seeing this, Ye Xiyu, Ye Zhirou, Ye Xijia, and the others also flew into the air on their magical artifacts.
As soon as they took to the air, they were shocked by the scene before them.
However, one can see the western part of Lingxi Peak.
A woman dressed in white, with unparalleled beauty, walked towards Lingxi Peak with the bright moon hanging behind her and the Milky Way on her back.
The bright moon behind the woman shone brilliantly, like celestial light, making her appear radiant and dazzling.
Her face was exquisite, her features flawless, her skin like ice and bones like jade. No one could be more beautiful than her. When her beautiful eyes blinked, they were ethereal and otherworldly, with a cool and aloof aura, as if untouched by the world, out of place in this world, like a fairy descending to earth.
"This woman...is so beautiful!"
When Ye Xiyu saw the woman coming from the long river, this was the first thought that came to mind.
She had a thousand words in her heart, but she didn't know how to describe it. She could only say that the woman before her was not of this world.
ethereal and otherworldly.
"The bright moon hangs high, she, she is the 'Moon Fairy' of Ice River Valley!" Ye Xijia exclaimed in shock.
Then, she looked at the man in white in front of her.
At this moment, Yang Jiuli, riding his sword, had already flown out of Lingxi Peak and arrived at the vast and turbulent Milky Way.
Yang Jiuli stopped.
But then they saw that the mighty river in front of them, which had been making a surging sound, had stopped flowing.
The only sound was the rushing water as the moon's yin energy fell upon the vast sea beneath the woman.
"Zhixue, how have you been?" Yang Jiuli stood before the cold river, bowing and greeting the woman before him.
In the long river.
Qin Zhixue looked at the man in front of her.
More than ten years have passed since they parted ways in Blackwind City, and she naturally misses them dearly.
Yesterday morning, I heard that Lingxi Peak had used that talisman.
Upon learning that the "Shadow Blade Alliance" had invaded the Ye family, Qin Zhixue was extremely anxious.
She knew something big must have happened.
Otherwise, Ninth Brother would never have used that talisman so easily.
After all, she had given Yang Jiuli a talisman, which was enough to deal with the people of the 'Shadow Blade Alliance'.
But Ninth Brother still used the signal talisman.
Qin Zhixue was exceptionally intelligent. After a moment's thought, she realized that a third-tier immortal sect must be behind this matter.
Therefore, she immediately reported to her master, requesting to come to Nanling.
When Master Wanyue heard about this, he was also furious.
She was a Core Formation Realm cultivator who had lived for over three hundred years, so she naturally knew why others were seeking Yang Jiuli.
They are determined to block Qin Zhixue's path.
Now, Qin Zhixue is about to enter the "Mysterious Netherworld" to find the "Cold Jade Star Pattern Gold" for him.
At this critical moment, how could Master Wanyue allow others to interfere?
After all, the 'Cold Jade Star Pattern Gold' is related to her 'Cold Jade Skill' advancing to the late stage of Core Formation.
Anyone who tries to harm Qin Zhixue at this moment is like blocking her path.
Master Wanyue would not tolerate this, so he sent a message inviting Li Hongtai to come here, just to intimidate the villains of the various immortal sects.
On the way here, Qin Zhixue was in a state of turmoil, constantly worried that something might have happened to Ninth Brother.
Now that she saw Yang Jiuli standing safely in front of her, she was finally able to put her mind at ease.
The tension in his nerves eased, and a smile appeared on his lips, radiant as a flower.
"As long as Ninth Brother is well, Zhixue has nothing to worry about!" Qin Zhixue stepped forward and bowed to Yang Jiuli in return.
Her voice was melodious and ethereal, and her smile was like a lotus blooming in the cold, making the sun and moon pale in comparison.
Upon hearing Qin Zhixue's words, Ye Xijia behind her widened her eyes, revealing an incredulous expression.
Such words are too intimate; they would only be used between lovers.
But Qin Zhixue said it.
"Please!" Yang Jiuli smiled knowingly and gestured for Qin Zhixue to enter the peak.
Qin Zhixue nodded and continued walking along the long river.
A warm feeling welled up in Yang Jiuli's heart.
He naturally knew why Qin Zhixue had come in such a grand manner.
She wanted to demonstrate the power of the "Taiyin Treasure Body" to the world, so that people would be wary and dare not touch Yang Jiuli again.
This move has both advantages and disadvantages.
Advantage: It can indeed deter villains.
Disadvantage: It will make the forces that already want to stop Qin Zhixue from forming her core even more wary, thus strengthening their resolve to stop her.
But Qin Zhixue did it anyway.
It's clear that she's risked everything for Yang Jiuli!
The long river flows by.
A chill was in the air.
The three people, Ye Xijia and Ye Xiyu, who arrived by magical artifact, felt a chill run down their spines and their eyes turn frosty.
Immediately, they retreated to the side, not daring to approach the vast and mighty Taiyin River.
Then, the three women watched as Qin Zhixue and Yang Jiuli walked side by side into Lingxi Peak.
"The Fairy of Bright Moon and Mr. Yang have a very close relationship... so why does Mr. Yang remain indifferent to my Ye family's affairs?"
Seeing this, Ye Xijia looked surprised and puzzled. She turned her gaze to Ye Xiyu beside her.
"Mr. Yang is devoted to the Dao and naturally has no interest in such mundane matters of my clan," Ye Xiyu said.
At this moment, she fully understood Yang Jiuli's heart.
I now understand why he urged me to focus my mind and body on the Dao of Alchemy.
Because Mr. Yang himself is like that.
"Mundane matters..." Ye Xijia murmured, then glanced at Qin Zhixue in front of her, who stood gracefully like an immortal with the bright moon hanging high behind her, and looked on in realization.
Ye Xijia murmured to herself, "Yes, with such a beautiful woman by his side... Mr. Yang must also be devoted to the Great Way."
"These matters concerning the Ye family are naturally mundane affairs!"
She smiled bitterly.
Their significant life events are nothing more than mundane matters in the eyes of others.
"Sister...should we go and pay our respects to Fairy Qin?" Ye Zhirou asked Ye Xiyu.
"The 'Bright Moon Fairy' must have something to discuss with us. Let's go to our own courtyard," Ye Xiyu said.
"Yes!" Ye Zhirou nodded.
Ye Xijia looked at Ye Xiyu.
"You should go back too! In this world, strength reigns supreme. We should strive to improve ourselves and not trouble others with everything. That kind of behavior is not a long-term solution," Ye Xiyu said. "If there's any news, I'll let you know!"
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Sister Xiyu!" Ye Xijia nodded and then flew away on her magical artifact.
Today's events deeply shocked her.
It overturned her understanding.
Who would have thought that someone with such a background would be so low-key?
……
Lingxi Peak.
Yang Jiuli welcomed Qin Zhixue into the cave.
Lu Wenqing stood guard outside the cave.
Inside the cave.
Yang Jiuli and Qin Zhixue sat side by side on two jade chairs.
Yang Jiuli brewed tea for Qin Zhixue.
"Ninth Brother, those people from the 'Shadow Blade Alliance'?" Qin Zhixue took a sip of tea, then gently put down her teacup and asked.
"They have all been killed by me!" Yang Jiuli said calmly.
"That's excellent!" Hearing this, Qin Zhixue breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Have you found any clues about the mastermind behind this?"
"It is the Su family of Ice River Valley and the Golden Cloud Sect!" Yang Jiuli said.
"Glacier Valley... Golden Cloud Gate!" Qin Zhixue was not surprised to hear about the Su family of Glacier Valley.
The sight of Jinxia Gate made her gaze sharpen, revealing a hint of solemnity.
"It seems they came for me!" Qin Zhixue said, "But it's a pity that Ninth Brother has been disturbed!"
"Between you and me, what distinction is there?" Yang Jiuli asked.
Hearing this, Qin Zhixue felt a warmth in her heart, a smile appearing on her lips, and then asked,
"Does Ninth Brother have obtained concrete evidence?"
"They all sent people to make contact, but they didn't leave any written evidence!" Yang Jiuli said.
"It's not good to hold people accountable now without evidence, but don't worry, Ninth Brother, this matter will definitely not be left unresolved."
Qin Zhixue said.
A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Yang Jiuli nodded slightly and said, "This matter is not urgent. I only asked you to come here to use your name to deter villains. Now that two Core Formation Realm experts have arrived, I can finally live a few years in peace!" He smiled slightly.
He did not say so beforehand.
But Qin Zhixue already understood and invited Master Wanyue.
The woman before him was so intelligent that he was very pleased with her.
Working with such people will make things go smoothly and there won't be any major problems.
"The path to immortality is long and arduous, and the path to enlightenment is difficult... It's not easy to find peace and stability," Qin Zhixue said with a soft sigh.
Over the past thirty years.
She has also witnessed the wickedness of human nature.
I witnessed the ruthlessness of the cultivation world.
Now, reminiscing with Yang Jiuli, I can't help but sigh with emotion.
She has very few people she can confide in on a daily basis!
She was, after all, just a woman.
There are times when one's heart is soft and powerless.
Qin Zhixue has always been aloof and resolute.
However, in front of Yang Jiuli, she showed the gentle and vulnerable side of a woman.
"The path to enlightenment is arduous... Every step is an insurmountable chasm... But as long as one's heart is steadfast and proceeds cautiously, there will eventually be a time when one can see through the fog and attain enlightenment!" Yang Jiuli comforted her, raising his teacup and gesturing slightly to Qin Zhixue.
"Ninth Brother is absolutely right, Zhixue will certainly not slack off!" Qin Zhixue raised her glass in acknowledgment and said with a determined expression.
Seeing this, Yang Jiuli nodded slightly.
"This time, Master Wanyue will still protect you. However, once you find the 'Cold Jade Star Pattern Gold,' you will probably be a bit weaker. Therefore, when the 'Mysterious Netherworld' opens this time, you must not only be careful but also find a Core Formation Spiritual Object for yourself."
He reminded him.
"I understand, Zhixue!" Qin Zhixue nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart.
Just now she mentioned the difficulty of the Great Dao, which means that after the trip to the "Mysterious Netherworld," she will once again face trials and tribulations.
I felt a sense of bewilderment and confusion.
After all, if she returns safely, the major immortal sects will certainly not give up their efforts to stop her.
She will face an even greater storm.
She also felt powerless and exhausted.
Unexpectedly, Ninth Brother was also considering her situation.
She suddenly felt a surge of strength within her.
At least, there are still people in this world who care about me.
