Chapter 690: Chapter 376: Keep Going _2

"For their own lives, they may tell you they are loyal to the sect, loyal to you...

"But likewise, when the situation reverses, and they wield their blades against you, they won’t hesitate.

"Sect Leader Ji, watching this unfold now, what do you feel in your heart?"

Ji Yexue remained silent, slowly closing her eyes.

The thin man leaned in closer, whispering:

"What if I were to share you with them? Wouldn’t there be even more betrayal against Yao Tai Sect?"

Ji Yexue’s face darkened.

The "White Jade Scripture of Eternal Life" is famed as being pure as jade, granting immortality.

But ultimately, it’s just a legend, a myth...

No matter how ethereal Ji Yexue might seem, she is not an Immortal.

Just a human!

Humans inevitably have emotions unless, like Gentle, they possess the Celestial Fragrance Body, naturally devoid of emotions; otherwise, temper is inevitable.

Previously, she was unwavering because her mind was untainted, but now, with her Inner Breath in chaos, Ji Yexue couldn’t avoid being touched by emotions, feeling them even more intensely than before.

Rumble!

Inside the Spirit Platform, there seemed to be a huge sound, and her years of cultivated tranquility showed a trace of disturbance.

This trace of disturbance instantaneously added a streak of silver to Ji Yexue’s hair.

She took a deep breath, not allowing external matters to shake her, simply closing her eyes again, ignoring the thin man’s words.

She could even ignore the current slaughter unfolding before her.

"Are you truly heartless!"

The thin man sneered:

"I wonder, though, how would a woman as devoid of sentiment as you behave in bed?"

The words were shameless, but to Ji Yexue, they scarcely caused even a ripple.

The thin man didn’t mind, grabbing her hair with one hand, and with the other, moved slowly from her shoulder towards her chest.

Just as he was about to slip his hand inside her collar, he suddenly felt something was off.

The unease wasn’t from Ji Yexue, but from a strong sensation of being watched.

Someone spying secretly!?

With this thought, he quickly turned his head, expecting someone from afar, but was shocked to see a young man standing right in front of him, eyes wide, staring straight at him.

The shock was significant!

He thought someone was watching secretly, but it was brazenly public?

Who is this person? When did he arrive?

Questions arose, but before he could ask, the young man asked with a hint of disappointment:

"Why stop?

"I was just getting to the critical part."

"You..."

The thin man’s mind tensed, just beginning to speak the word ’you’ when his view blurred, a massive force, wrapped in a bone-piercing Cold Aura, slapped directly against his face.

He flew uncontrollably towards the Jade Universe Pavilion.

In mid-air, he felt his meridians freeze by seventy to eighty percent in just a brief moment.

Immediately, he adjusted his Inner Breath to dissolve the internal injuries.

Trying to regroup... but before he could adjust, he crashed into someone else, dragging them together into a dent he created when he threw Ji Yexue earlier.

The thin man, Qi Lu, stood up from the denting, resolving most of the Cold Aura within him, glancing at the unlucky person he collided with.

The person, with twisted mouth and eyes, was imprinted in the pit in a bizarre position.

Blood froth continuously seeped from his mouth... no one else but Yijian Tilting Mountains He Wenzhang.

Was this a coincidence? Or intentional?

As the thought arose, the fat man shouted:

"Who goes there?"

The thin man looked towards the voice, seeing the fat man raise a hand, already delivering a palm strike towards the young man.

This palm, encompassed by Qiankun One Qi, might not be as powerful as the Qiankun One Qi Hand Seal, but it was not to be underestimated.

Yet the young man casually intercepted it, severing the Palm Momentum halfway, followed by a twist that cracked audibly.

The fat man’s hand bones were instantly twisted into pieces.

The young man, as if effortless, pulled him close, swung him in mid-air, and tossed him towards the thin man.

The thin man, aware of the young man’s extraordinary skills, roared in anger, his muscles and bones swelling instantly, raising both hands to catch the fat man.

But as he caught him, an immense force reversed into him. Having just climbed out of the pit, the two were once again smashed into it.

He Wenzhang, having just caught his breath, opened his eyes to see darkness.

Overwhelming pressure engulfed him in an instant!

The next moment, he passed out completely...

The change occurred even quicker. The two who had held the upper hand were suddenly tossed aside.

The Yao Tai Sect disciples who were originally in combat instinctively paused.

When the fat and thin men stood up again, they saw the young man glance at Ji Yexue, then shook his head:

"The Celestial Evil Cult is growing more capable.

"Two grown men bullying a young girl.

"Even if you managed to win, don’t you think there’s no honor in it?"

By now, the two men had clearly seen the young man’s face, their pupils shrinking:

"It’s you!!"

The battle at Celestial Melody City was the greatest blunder the Celestial Evil Cult had made to date.

Not only did it lead to the death of one of the Twelve Saint Kings and the capture of another, but four of the General’s Eight Great Battle Generals also died on the spot.

They naturally had to find out who started this.

Yet they never expected to see him today, in such circumstances.

Chu Qing smiled slightly:

"You know me?

"Unfortunately, I don’t know either of you; why don’t you introduce yourselves?

"Also... if I’m not mistaken, those behind should be from the Yao Tai Sect, right?

"Why would you be fighting among yourselves?"

He indeed found the scene unusual, as he hadn’t been there earlier.

Upon discovering Yao Tai Sect members invading the mountain, Chu Qing and his group had followed the lead of the Yao Tai Sect disciples up the path.

This route, though saving time, was fraught with obstacles, many places difficult to traverse.

To avoid delays, Chu Qing went ahead.

Let Wu Qianhuan and others follow slowly...

Thus he managed to arrive.

He appeared just as the thin man attempted misconduct, revealing himself to scare him.

"You’re not with them?"

Ji Yexue’s voice reached his ears.

Chu Qing was momentarily dazed, the hollow voice, although fundamentally different from Gentle’s, had the same unwavering tone as hers.

"If I were with them, do you think we could have this conversation now?"

Chu Qing replied while glancing at her:

"May I know your name? It wouldn’t happen to be Wen, would it?"

"I am not surnamed Wen, I am Ji, Ji Yexue."

Upon hearing Chu Qing and the two men were not allies, Ji Yexue nodded and then calmly stated her name.

Chu Qing nodded:

"Not Wen, huh, and doesn’t look like one either...

"Wait, Ji Yexue?"

Being in Lingbei, he naturally had to know about its martial artists.

Old Man Sun mentioned some earlier, and later in the Celestial Sound Mansion, he learned much more.

So, Chu Qing, his eyes widened the next moment:

"You’re Ji Yexue? Sect Leader of Yao Tai Sect!?"

Ji Yexue nodded slowly:

"That’s correct, that’s me."

Chu Qing gasped in shock; seeing the Sect Leader of Yao Tai Sect wasn’t odd, what was strange was her appearance:

"Can the White Jade Scripture of Eternal Life truly grant immortality?

"Otherwise, how could Ji Yexue, who became Sect Leader of Yao Tai Sect fifty years ago, look as if she’s just in her early twenties?"
