Chapter 213: Chapter 128: Wish Fulfilled
Upon waking, Chu Xuan felt a mix of anger, absurdity, and amusement.
Ji Mingyu, are you a crazy woman?! I was so young back then, how could you do that?!
Moreover, Chu Xuan seriously suspected she had done it more than once, each time taking advantage while he was asleep...
This made his feelings even more complicated. If it had happened during his teenage years, his heart would have been racing with excitement, and he might even have pretended to be asleep.
But now... as the saying goes, things have changed, and he and Ji Mingyu have already become estranged. Until her so-called "truth" is revealed, Chu Xuan definitely won’t say another word to her.
He looked at Gu Haitang, quietly cultivating beside him, and his gaze softened a bit.
After spending these days together, he sincerely believed that Haitang would love him for a lifetime, unlike Ming Yu who "betrayed" him.
Just then, Gu Haitang seemed to feel Chu Xuan’s gaze, her eyelids fluttered, and she woke up.
"What’s wrong?" she asked, puzzled.
Chu Xuan moved closer, lightly biting her earlobe, and said, "I like you."
Haitang’s ears turned red instantly. "Why suddenly say such cheesy words for no reason?"
"Nothing, just had a dream." Chu Xuan smiled.
He took Gu Haitang’s hand, and said gently, "You are good to me; I will surely be good to you."
Haitang nodded, her gaze filled with love, and she said in a teasing tone, "Marry me when we get back. I’ll be good to you all my life."
Chu Xuan was speechless, are they fast-forwarding to marriage already?
Just as Gu Haitang was about to continue, her expression suddenly changed!
She took out a jade token from her bosom, at this moment, a red light kept flashing on it, pointing westward.
Chu Xuan recognized it at a glance; it was the sect token of the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion. In such a case, it means a disciple is seeking help from their peers.
Gu Haitang immediately stood up, her face anxious. "This is bad, our sect’s real master has actively sent out a distress signal. They must be facing a life-threatening crisis; I need to hurry to their aid!"
Chu Xuan naturally stood up as well, his gaze firm. "We’ll go together."
Gu Haitang hesitated for a moment but didn’t refuse.
Just as they flew out of the underground cave, they saw a flare rising in the distant sky, clearly blooming into a form resembling a purple fairy mansion, another way for the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion to call for help.
If any friendly cultivators within a hundred miles see it, they can choose to go for assistance.
Of course, not everyone will go. After all, in the general cultivator’s knowledge, the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion holds a leader’s status in the righteous path, if even such an entity is forced to seek help, would they not be heading to their doom by assisting?
The two of them immediately controlled their swords and hurried over, not sparing any magical power to push their speed to the maximum, and soon saw Purple Heaven’s group from a distance.
They were unexpectedly pursued by a ferocious beast resembling a golden-winged roc, along with a band of demon cultivators, and it seems that the beast had the cultivation of the seventh realm, no wonder they were continually calling for help.
Chu Xuan took a rough glance and noticed that these demon cultivators were not just one group. Leading was the notorious Mo Luo Palace, followed by several small sects behind them, unsure if they were coerced or came voluntarily to pick up scraps.
The cultivation technique of the Mo Luo Palace is suspected to be inherited from an Outer Celestial Demon, able to taint other cultivators. With each cultivator they taint, their cultivation grows stronger, with better results against stronger cultivators.
Moreover, the higher the realm of the people in this sect, the more closely their actions resemble celestial demons. In the cultivation world, they’re considered a public enemy, even other demon cultivators are wary of them.
If it weren’t for Mo Luo Palace’s deep foundation and strong prowess, they would’ve been destroyed long ago.
At this moment, Li Yucheng, a real master, was desperately resisting the attack of the golden-winged roc with a duster in hand.
Look at it: with its golden winged Kun-head and starry panther-like eyes; swooping north and south, transforming into a soaring flight; its powerful wings conceal many birds, its sharp claws strike fear in beasts, truly a vile creature.
Li Yucheng wielded his duster, and a gigantic golden sword unexpectedly condensed in the air, as if it were a heavenly divine sword, slashing down!
The golden-winged roc surprisingly did not dodge, it folded its wings, and the Jade Emperor’s Heart Sword slashed against them, merely kicking up a large burst of golden light; its wings then unfolded, shooting the heart sword far away, spewing blazing flames that turned the night sky into a golden sea of fire.
Throughout this fight and escape, battling for ages, Li Yucheng was already sweating profusely, he summoned a water-blue Treasure Pearl, pouring out water from the Four Seas, finally managing to protect the group of juniors behind him.
Luckily, this beast doesn’t know human cultivators’ realms, otherwise, if it had used its realm to cover them, the group from the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion wouldn’t have escaped so far.
On the other side, Pei Shurou wielded a magical sword, with a seven-colored rainbow neon apparition unfurled behind her, besieged by two sixth realm demon cultivators from Mo Luo Palace, appearing equally precarious.
The two demon heads, one wielding a black banner, surging out waves of demonic qi; the other transformed into a sea of blood, with countless blood demon soldiers shooting out like meteor showers, attacking Yun Ni Fairy.
Pei Shurou, fighting until now, already had small wounds appearing on her body. She’s been fighting against two for a while, though at a disadvantage, she persisted with clenched teeth, showing none of the weakness from the Hundred Flower Banquet.
"Hahaha! Little beauty, you should surrender. If you continue fighting, I’m afraid you won’t even have a complete corpse today, which would be too wasteful." The middle-aged man in the black robe swinging the banner laughed arrogantly as he attacked.
