Chapter 3499: Martial Aunt (16)

Furthermore, the fires Yi Youxuan brought out were each more powerful than the last, especially the nine heavens divine wind fire, which was typically only found in the void.

The bottle capable of containing the Nine Heavens Divine Wind Fire had to be a treasure in its own right.

Ning Shu wondered if it was all real.

The spiritual energy in the air was being consumed by the Innate True Fire and was nearly burnt to nothing.

Ning Shu and Yi Youxuan stood facing each other.

Yi Youxuan toyed with the bottle in her hand, which contained all those various flames.

If Ning Shu were to be touched by any of those fires, her very soul would likely be incinerated.

Ning Shu let out a long, slow breath.

Yi Youxuan curled her lip, looking every bit the cold, noble beauty. “Does it feel hopeless? No matter what methods you use, they are all useless.”

“Yes, it feels very hopeless.”

It wasn’t that she felt helpless against Yi Youxuan herself, but rather she felt overwhelmed by the sheer depth of a Divine Dao sect’s legacy.

She was fighting against the accumulated resources of an ancient era.

Yi Youxuan had every possible advantage.

It was absolutely infuriating.

“Alright, enough, stop making a scene.” Qi Cheng rubbed his eyebrows. Seeing his disciple’s strength and her collection of treasures made him feel a mix of pride and speechlessness.

She certainly had a temper, but at least no one would ever be able to bully her. In the end, the cultivation world was a place where the strong preyed on the weak, and power was respected above all else.

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. The ‘Stop making a scene’ version of Qi Cheng was back online.

His constant habit of smoothing things over and acting as a neutral mediator was truly annoying.

“There is no point in fighting like this,” Qi Cheng said. “Since the item is gone, we are heading back to the sect.”

Ning Shu gave a cold snort and turned to walk away.

Qi Cheng looked at Yi Youxuan and said, “In the future, try to show these things less often. It is bound to attract unwanted attention and jealousy.”

“Are you jealous then, Master?” Yi Youxuan asked. Even when facing her own master, she maintained her blunt persona.

Qi Cheng choked on his words. He said helplessly, “Your master is not so lowly that he would covet his own disciple’s possessions. Keep these things safe for yourself. If you are capable, it brings honor to my name as your master.”

“Thank you, Master,” Yi Youxuan said, though she didn’t take the advice to heart. She had so many pills and divine artifacts that she saw no reason to hide them. If she didn’t use them, they were useless anyway.

Ning Shu returned to the hut. Ye Heyu was waiting for her, while Ye Meiyu was already asleep in the inner room.

Ye Heyu hurried to pour Ning Shu some tea. Seeing her dark expression, he asked, “Master, did something happen?”

Ning Shu drank a bowl of water and said calmly, “Jianzhan Peak is gone.”

“Oh!” At first, Ye Heyu didn’t register what she meant, but then his eyes went wide. “What? The peak is gone?”

“Yes, it vanished.” Ning Shu propped her chin in her hand and watched the master and disciple pair walk into the room.

Qi Cheng announced, “We will return to the sect first thing tomorrow morning.”

Ning Shu had no objections. She had set out to travel, picked up two disciples, and finally stumbled upon a rare opportunity, only to end up doing all the hard work for someone else’s benefit.

To this moment, she still hadn’t figured out how Yi Youxuan had managed to take away such a massive mountain.

Seeing Ning Shu staring at her, Yi Youxuan narrowed her eyes, her gaze filled with murderous intent. “Do you want another fight?”

Ning Shu smiled slightly. “Sure.”

“Alright, that’s enough, stop making a scene.” Qi Cheng felt like his head was going to explode.

Always with the ‘stop making a scene.’ Was this powerful expert here just for comic relief?

However, Qi Cheng’s strength was genuinely immense. He simply rarely had reason to use it.

“It is always your disciple who starts it. I wish your disciple the best in defeating everyone in the world,” Ning Shu said. Since he thought his disciple was the best, then fine—nobody could beat Yi Youxuan.

Yi Youxuan gave a derisive sneer, looking exceptionally disdainful. “Even if I cannot defeat everyone, I can certainly defeat you.”

Ning Shu smiled. “Defeating me means nothing. I am just a nobody.”

Yi Youxuan proceeded to ignore Ning Shu. She stared off into a corner of the room without giving her another glance.

Ye Heyu felt the atmosphere was awkward and stifling. He spoke up, “Master, would you like to get some rest?”

Ning Shu hummed in agreement and then sent a telepathic message to Ye Heyu. “Do not provoke Yi Youxuan.”

Currently, Ye Heyu was still a complete novice. He hadn’t grown into his potential yet, and Yi Youxuan could snuff him out with a single breath.

Moreover, Ye Heyu didn’t have any cheats or divine advantages.

After hearing the message, Ye Heyu maintained a calm expression. “Master, go and squeeze in with my sister.”

Ning Shu agreed. Ye Heyu then turned to Qi Cheng and said, “My family is poor, Elder Qi. Please use my room to rest.”

“No need.” He could just cultivate until dawn. There was no need for him to rest.

Ye Heyu didn’t say anything more. He sat dutifully by the door to cultivate and stand guard.

Ning Shu sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate. Her spirit dragon had been burnt away earlier, and she hadn’t been able to recover even a shred of that spiritual energy.

She had to cultivate hard now, or she would have no power to fight back against Yi Youxuan.

What Yi Youxuan had shown so far was just the tip of the iceberg. Who knew what other miraculous things she had in store?

First it was a bow, then a sword. Would it be a saber next? Or some other divine artifact?

She feared the entire Zisha Island could not compete with the foundation of that immortal estate.

How could a modern sect compare to an ancient Divine Dao sect?

Furthermore, Yi Youxuan had now obtained Jianzhan Peak. There was no telling what treasures lay inside it.

If Yi Youxuan had just secured another treasure trove of a Divine Dao sect, she was truly going to become untouchable.

As Ning Shu cultivated, she felt a blockage in her chest. She took out a heart-calming pill and swallowed it.

She hadn’t needed these for a while, but now she had to take them again. Even if she didn’t want to be entangled with Yi Youxuan, their paths were forced together.

Ning Shu felt as if the heavens were trying to spite her. Everything she found was immediately snatched away by Yi Youxuan, becoming her rival’s fated opportunity.

The girl wouldn’t even let her have a sip of soup. It was infuriating. She couldn’t win in a fight, and her things were being stolen. If she tried to rush her, she’d just be looking for death.

Son of a bitch!

Ning Shu forced a smile.

I am not angry at all. Not angry.

The next morning, everyone prepared to head back to Zisha Island. The two siblings were very nervous. They were about to start a new life and go to a completely strange place.

Ye Heyu held the bird egg and protected his sister as they stood behind Ning Shu, soaring high through the heavens.

Below them were endless mountain ranges. Their horizons were being broadened like never before.

To be an immortal was truly a life of freedom and ease.

Yi Youxuan glanced at the egg in Ye Heyu’s hand. She looked away, then turned back to look at it a couple more times.

Ning Shu said, “Give that ‘chicken egg’ to me for now. I will return it to you once we are back at Lanzhu Peak.”

Why was Yi Youxuan, who had countless treasures, staring at a simple egg?

Ye Heyu didn’t object and handed the egg to Ning Shu. She immediately placed it into her storage ring.

Yi Youxuan looked away haughtily. A chicken egg? She had only looked at it because she felt the egg was slightly unusual. How petty of that woman to worry that someone might steal it.
