CHAPTER 214
Reunion with an Old Friend
============================================================
Ye Qinghan yanked Li Shiyao out of bed and hurriedly dressed her!
Dongfang Jue needed no prompting; he was already dressed and standing by the door!
But clearly, that immortal wasn't someone to be trifled with either!
Su Cheng had his plans, the immortal had his countermeasures, and Cheng Liang lurked in the shadows, watching intently.
Compared to Su Cheng's side, Ye Qinghan's situation was the real crisis!
The moment the three beauties descended the stairs, they were met by a swarm of men!
Pushing open the door, they found the inn completely surrounded by a dense swarm of black-armored death servants.
Ye Qinghan recognized them immediately. She had encountered these black-armored mercenaries once before—they were from the Mo Family of the Eastern Domain!
Since they were from the Mo Family of the Eastern Region, Ye Qinghan suspected they were likely connected to Cheng Liang.
And indeed, Ye Qinghan's hunch proved correct. Cheng Liang had received reliable intelligence that Su Cheng and Ye Qinghan were not together—making today the perfect opportunity to eliminate Ye Qinghan!
Thanks to the Lius being slaughtered by Ye Qinghan, Cheng Liang had provided Mo Chenfeng with a plausible explanation. Though Mo Chenfeng didn't fully believe it, she wouldn't pass up the chance to kill Ye Qinghan!
To ensure absolute success, however, a powerful figure had joined the mission. Upon learning Mo Chenfeng intended to kill Ye Qinghan, this influential person had offered to lend a hand!
Mo Chenfeng had originally intended to kill both disciples of Su Cheng, but this influential figure specifically demanded Li Shiyao!
Truthfully, he didn't want to give her up, but…
This powerful figure was also an immortal. Even just one of his avatars was beyond Mo Chenfeng's ability to handle!
Frankly, there were simply too many immortals in this world. He was starting to feel overwhelmed!
The powerful figure declared he'd already made arrangements with another immortal—Su Cheng would never return!
Two figures emerged from the crowd—Mo Chenfeng and a shadowy figure.
Mo Chenfeng strode forward, great blade in hand. His fury had long since dissipated. So much time had passed that even the grief of losing his son had eased somewhat, no longer as overwhelming as before.
However, since Ye Qinghan and the others were meeting Mo Chenfeng for the first time, they couldn't help but scrutinize him…
"Who's that, Senior Sister? Did he come looking for you?"
Ye Qinghan shook her head. "I don't know him. But you forgot about that armor—the one at the market last time. He's from the Mo Clan of the Eastern Domain."
Dongfang Jue was equally curious: "Senior Sister, you know people from the Eastern Region?"
"Look at them—do they seem like they're on good terms with me?" Ye Qinghan rolled her eyes. What was the point of this now?
But Li Shiyu, who usually acted foolishly, had gone mute this time. She silently removed the Frostsword and handed it to "Dongfang Jue."
She then retrieved her Chaos Bell from the other "Li Shiyao." This was going to be a fierce battle!
With all three of them unable to fully utilize their strength, and the magical treasures from the jade pendants still in Xu Zhanfeng's possession, Ye Qinghan had very few options left!
"Shiyao, I'll hold them off. Find an opportunity to seek out our Master!"
Only the sound of wind and Ye Qinghan slowly drawing her sword filled the air. Though she was using Dongfang Jue's body, Ye Qinghan hadn't forgotten—she was the First Disciple of Lingxian Hall!
"No, Shiyu is the senior disciple. I won't agree to this!"
"Shiyao, I'm not joking. You must find our Master!"
"Impossible. I'm staying with you!"
Mo Chenfeng had just been about to put on a show, but the shadow beside him beat him to it!
"Rest assured, none of you three will be leaving!"
With that declaration, battle erupted instantly!
The sword case slammed to the ground at her feet. Though it was an ordinary cultivation technique and an ordinary Core Formation stage, this sword case and the Ling Shuang Sword were no pushovers!
Though this body wasn't as powerful as hers, it still lived up to its prodigy reputation—dispatching minions was effortless!
Li Shiyao, however, had gained a temporary power boost!
With the body of the senior disciple, ordinary foes couldn't even get close!
Getting close meant certain death!
Dongfang Jue felt slightly awkward at first. While Li Shiyao's body was undeniably appealing to men, there was one issue…
Those ample assets up front were genuinely a bit cumbersome…
But after a little time to adjust, it was much better!
With their backs pressed together, the trio faced countless enemies, quickly becoming bloodthirsty in the fray!
"Shiyao, left!"
"Got it, got it! Senior Sister, you don't have to yell so loud!"
"Frostblade Formation!"
In an instant, every divine sword in the scabbard was drawn. Under the golden glow of the Chaos Bell, the sword formation shimmered like countless tassels, too numerous to count!
To be honest, Mo Chenfeng was stunned!
Were these two disciples from Su City truly at the Foundation Establishment stage?
Ye Qinghan was late Foundation Establishment, Li Shiyao was mid-Foundation Establishment—that seemed perfectly reasonable!
But to call this Foundation Establishment? Is that right?
And then there was Dongfang Jue—was that even human? You're telling me a Core Formation cultivator looked like that?
He had no choice but to step into the fray himself!
This time, he'd specifically brought along the Mo family's ancestral treasure—a Heaven-tier artifact capable of instant teleportation!
He didn't hold back, unleashing it immediately. In an instant, he teleported behind "Ye Qinghan"!
That great blade swung in a wide arc, aiming straight for Li Shiyu's slender waist!
"Shiyao, watch out!"
Shiyao hadn't noticed at all and stumbled backward from the blow…
"You bastard! You actually ambushed Shiyu!"
Mo Chenfeng was stunned!
This was like cheating!
He was at the Spirit Transformation cultivation level!
And that strike only made the girl stagger!
Is this right?
Wasn't the script supposed to have him cleaving her in two with that strike?
Li Shiyao snapped out of it, springing into action with her long legs to deliver a powerful kick.
Mo Chenfeng blocked with his sword!
The force of the kick sent him flying backward a considerable distance!
How far?
At least ten meters!
Mo Chenfeng was now thoroughly baffled. He began to suspect his understanding of Lingxian Hall might be fundamentally flawed…
To be honest, out of the three, only Dongfang Jue treated him like a proper opponent, making some defensive moves when Mo Chenfeng swung his blade.
Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyao, however, hadn't given Mo Chenfeng a second thought!
However, Mo Chenfeng remained unaware that the true target within Dongfang Jue's body was Ye Qinghan. His focus remained solely on the girl who had staggered from his single blow.
Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyao understood clearly that Mo Chenfeng was likely just a minor lackey. The shadowy figure lurking behind, who had yet to make a move, was almost certainly the real threat!
They could sense that figure was powerful, but just how powerful?
Ye Qinghan guessed he was likely at the late Foundation Establishment stage, while Li Shiyao speculated he might be at the late Core Formation stage!
In reality, this shadowy figure possessed the strength of a true Immortal Sovereign—not the kind of Immortal Sovereign who indulged in carnal pleasures, but one with the power befitting the cultivation world!
Ye Qinghan was starting to feel exhausted. Truth be told, these men were no match for her, but having to constantly guard against sneak attacks and that shadow lurking in the shadows was proving troublesome!
Time had passed swiftly. Amidst the flashing blades and thunderous clashes, nearby residents had long since fled!
Ye Qinghan prepared to clear the area, starting with these minor foes.
In an instant, she produced several familiar magical artifacts and distributed them to her two junior sisters!
"Take these. Stay alert—I'm clearing the area!"
