Chapter 200: The Greatest Cult Under The Heavens
Wei Zhuoyan followed Li Jingyi’s advice and retreated. His four deputies retreated as well. He sighed softly as he looked at Li Jingyi’s slender back. ‘Who knew Wei Zhuo Yan had been relying on Li Jingyi all along to get to where he was?’ He felt exhausted. He was pushed into this position by some bizarre turn of events and was suddenly tied to the entire nation.
Li Jingyi looked at the skies and said softly, “For the sect master of the greatest cult under the heavens, the Nether Sect, to grace us with his presence... I apologize in advance for my rudeness.”
The voice that rang from the flying chariot was deep and confident. “What I want is Wei Zhuoyan’s life.” The words were straight-to-the-point.
“I don’t understand. Why is the Nether Sect meddling with the rebel army and impeding the general’s efforts to quell the disturbance? Are you trying to make Great Yan your enemy?”
“Do you have a death wish?” This sentence was laced with a powerful sound technique.
The ears of the listeners rang from it.
The huge sword appeared again. It was much more vigorous than before.
Both sides retreated.
Even the masked cultivators were wary of the Dark Heaven Starlight.
Boom!
A deep chasm opened up between the vanguards of both sides.
The houses in the area crumbled.
“General Wei, retreat!” Li Jingyi warned Wei Zhuoyan again.
When Wei Zhuoyan saw the situation was getting dangerous, he turned his steed around and left. His four deputies kept close to him and protected him. They retreated in the direction of the city’s northern gate.
“I’ll fulfill your wish then.” Waves of killing intent surged from the huge chariot.
Li Jingyi frowned. “I know I’m no match for you, sect master... but I won’t back down.”
A powerful fluctuation of Primal Qi appeared on the huge chariot.
When he witnessed this scene, Mingshi Yin shook his head. He did not expect the lady in the embroidered robes would be so courageous. Although the person in the flying chariot was an impostor, there was no doubt he had a powerful cultivation base. Was it possible that the lady dressed in embroidered robes had concealed her strength? Was it possible that she actually possessed the strength to hold her own against such a powerful opponent?
...
At this moment, a faint blue light rose from the Ci mansion.
This unique aura attracted everyone’s attention, and everyone turned to look.
The ordinary soldiers could not see it clearly, but the cultivators who were flying were awestruck by the sight.
A petite and refined girl who was shrouded in blue light flew out of the mansion and landed on a roof.
“Little junior sister?” Mingshi Yin gulped. “Isn’t this the effect of the Cloud Feather Raiment?”
Duanmu Sheng was also shocked by Little Yuan’er’s Cloud Feather Raiment. “Indeed, it’s the Cloud Feather Raiment.”
Little Yuan’er flew nimbly as if she was a lark...
Even the attention of the people on the flying chariot was focused on Little Yuan’er at this moment.
Mingshi Yin muttered, “Master is too biased... Isn’t it enough to give her the Nirvana Sash? He even gave her the Cloud Feather Raiment as well.”
When Little Yuan’er saw Mingshi Yin, she projected her voice to him, “Master said that Li Jingyi and Wei Zhuoyan mustn’t die.”
Mingshi Yi was stunned. “We’re to do something about it?”
“Jiang Aijian wrote to master asking him to make a move,” Little Yuan’er said.
“Master is truly kind... Since Jiang Aijian has always been earnest while carrying out his duties, he can be counted as one of us now.” Mingshi Yin nodded.
However, why would Jiang Aijian help Li Jingyi?
Little Yuan’er glanced at Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng before she flew above them. She looked at the opposing sides.
Thousands of soldiers and hundreds of cultivators exchanged glances among themselves.
Li Jingyi saw the girl in the feather raiment. A person in possession of a treasure like the Cloud Feather Raiment would not be someone ordinary. Although she had just entered the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm recently and was a little girl who had not sprouted leaves yet, nobody dared to underestimate her.
A deep and resounding voice rang from the flying chariot. “Little girl, who are you?”
Little Yuan’er glanced at the flying chariot and said, “Master said that nobody’s to touch Li Jingyi and Wei Zhuoyan.”
The flying chariot was silent. It was as though its occupant was thinking about something.
Li Jingyi cupped her fists and said, “Thank you for taking a stand, little girl. However, you should stay out of this matter... Look after yourself if you can.”
Little Yuan’er blinked as she looked at Li Jingyi who stood with a straight back. She asked, “Are you Li Jingyi?”
“I am.” Li Jingyi bowed elegantly. “Little girl, onboard that flying chariot... is Yu Zhenghai, the sect master of the greatest cult under the heavens, Nether Sect! You should run for your life now...”
Little Yuan’er looked at the flying chariot. She frowned. ‘Eldest Senior Brother is on the flying chariot?’ Due to the appearance of her Second Senior Brother, Yu Shangrong, and the fact that she had not seen her Eldest Senior Brother before, she readily believed this.
Mingshi Yin did not expose the impostor’s lie. Instead, he regarded Li Jingyi with interest.
Little Yuan’er pointed at the flying chariot and asked in confusion, “The Sect Master of Nether Sect?”
“That’s right.”
Li Jingyi saw that the girl was young. Kind as she was, she said, “There’s an organization called the Evil Sky Pavilion in this world. The patriarch of the Fiend Path has nine direct disciples, and they’re all villains. The Sect Master of the Nether Sect is the Evil Sky Pavilion’s first disciple. It’s rumored that he has an Eight-leaf Golden Lotus avatar and has never met his match yet.”
Little Yuan’er was slightly stunned.
A voice rang from the flying chariot in the sky again. “Since you know who I am, why do you insist on putting up a fight?”
Li Jingyi replied, “You know the answer to that, sect master... I can’t possibly back down.”
The safety of Anyang City, and perhaps, Great Yan itself, was tied to this woman.
Mingshi Yin knew he was no hero nor was he a righteous person. However, he felt this woman seemed dependable.
“Then, you shall die...”
A huge sword floated down from the flying chariot again.
The huge sword spun and dropped swiftly in a sweeping motion toward the city.
Li Jingyi pushed herself off the ground with her feet and shot into the horizons. She raised her fair right arm, and an umbrella-shaped protective energy appeared above her. The energy rippled and glowed, seemingly alive.
At this moment, four masked cultivators leaped down from the flying chariot.
Even the Four Great Protectors were impostors. It was clear their cultivation bases were nowhere close to the real ones.
Mingshi Yin said in a deep voice, “Master said that Li Jingyi can’t die!”
Bam!
Mingshi Yin shot toward one of the masked cultivators. The Separation Hook and Scabbard flashed in his hands.
When Duanmu Sheng saw this, he shot out like a fired arrow at the other masked cultivators. He wielded his Overlord Spear in his right hand and launched himself at his target’s face with cloud-splitting force.
“Take that little girl down!”
“Roger!”
Boom!
The Dark Heaven Starlight collided with Li Jingyi’s barrier.
Energies converged and scattered in all directions. A huge ripple that resembled a large wave spread out for 100 meters.
Li Jingyi continued to climb up in the sky. She glanced below. “Little girl, run... She raised her hand and a cone-shaped energy shot toward the masked cultivators. She intended to buy Little Yuan’er some time to flee with this attack.
However, Little Yuan’er was puzzled. ‘Do I look like such a cowardly person?’
The Cloud Feather Raiment fluttered. The energy waves dissipated into nothing when they reached her.
All of a sudden, the Nirvana Sash appeared! “The Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps!”
The red sash wrapped around two of the masked cultivators.
Everyone stared with their mouths agape. This was especially true for those cultivators who were just spectating.
‘This little girl must have an extraordinary background. She has quite a lot of treasures.’
Although the Cloud Feather Raiment was not a weapon, if it were to be graded, it would not lose to a heaven-grade weapon.
“Is this all you got?” Little Yuan’er’s Nirvana Sash hit its targets.
Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng had the upper hand now.
Li Jingyi was slightly surprised as she said, “This little girl...” At the same time, her gaze swept across Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng.
All of a sudden, a peculiar beam of purple energy shot out from the flying chariot! It resembled an energy blast but not entirely so.
Li Jingyi raised a hand and shot an energy blast of her own toward it. “It has no effect?” At this moment, she understood this peculiar purple energy was witchcraft. Moreover, it was headed toward Little Yuan’er...
Everything happened too quickly. Only a few seconds had passed since Little Yuan’er had leaped in and attacked.
“Alas, little girl. I’ve done my best!” Li Jingyi looked up and continued to fly toward the flying chariot.
To catch bandits, one would first have to catch the ringleader!
