Chapter 479: Chapter 469 I Know the Way to Save Him
Liu Ji didn’t have much of an opinion about this matter.
There were benefits to intercepting Dongfang Hongyue, and there were also benefits to not intercepting her. Since it was hard to judge, he might as well follow the judgment of someone who had already made up their mind.
The reason Liu Ji asked Zhang Biyu was just a formality.
In the past, the thoughts of Dongfang Hongyue and Zhang Biyu were consistent, but this time, the two made different choices.
Liu Ji thought for a moment and glanced at the furious Fang Yu, then at the equally enraged Dongfang Hongyue.
He felt that...
Zhang Biyu was somewhat easier to intercept.
"They are both furious right now. If we take action, we may harm the harmony," he commented.
Zhang Biyu raised her eyebrows again and laughed, "You just don’t want to make an enemy of Fang Yu, do you?"
Liu Ji could see that Zhang Biyu was getting angry, and while he hesitated, the battle was nearly over.
The time given to Liu Ji and Zhang Biyu to think was already short. Ji Ye and Yue Ningshuang took off decisively. They were not a match in the first place, and now Baili Liuyun and the others were directly in danger. There was a mysterious force in this space preventing them from using their escape technique to flee.
Seeing Yue Ningshuang and Ji Ye almost reaching the exit, Baili Liuyun also grew furious: "Treachery! Unworthy of scheming!"
Baili Liuyun felt that his life was too difficult.
In terms of moral character, he knew he was no saint, but he wasn’t that bad either. Yet now, his reputation in the Cultivation World was ruined.
Because of the matters with Lin Yu and Lin Yun, and Ming Xin’s assassination attempt, Sword Sect’s reputation had hit rock bottom, and so had his, Baili Liuyun’s.
Yet, what had he done wrong?
He had just taken a foolish woman as his wife, which was a huge mistake.
Pressured by internal strife and external threats, Sword Sect had no choice but to seek an alliance. Just when there was hope for an alliance with the Imperial Court, the Shenxiao Sect crushed the Imperial Court into pieces.
You think, why weren’t you this powerful before?
Because both Lin Yu and Lin Yun were in Shenxiao Sect, Sword Sect couldn’t possibly cozy up to Shenxiao Sect—that would be too disgraceful. The Baili Family couldn’t do such a thing, nor could the elders who supported the Baili Family.
Therefore, Sword Sect had no choice but to unite with a few other weakened sects.
Baili Liuyun was quite happy about this as the other sects, due to the death of their abbots and sect masters, had weakened to the same level as Sword Sect, presenting an opportunity for development. However...
Who would have thought they’d be troubled by Ji Ye, that disaster?
Are we supposed to carry the grudges you’ve provoked?
When Lin Yun’s sword stabbed towards him, Baili Liuyun thought he was done for.
Lin Yu and he already had a personal feud, and with Lin Yu’s reputation rising lately, who knew how worried he was. After all, Ming Xin had died at Sword Sect, could Lin Yu not hold a grudge?
So, marrying the wrong wife truly brings a lifetime of disaster.
At this moment, Baili Liuyun didn’t beg for mercy; he just cursed Ji Ye.
But the swing of Lin Yu’s sword did not sever his neck. When he had no way to avoid it, Lin Yu sliced off a strand of his hair and kicked him, sending him flying. Then, she stopped bothering with him and leaped towards Ji Ye to settle their score.
If he weren’t Baili Liuyun, Lin Yu might have just symbolically cut off a strand of his hair, but looking at Baili Liuyun ignited anger in Lin Yu. Yet, as Baili Liuyun wasn’t a wicked person, and although Lin Yu had killed many without hesitation, she had her own standards.
It wasn’t right to kill him, but she needed to kick him to vent her frustration.
The one she now wanted to kill even more was Ji Ye.
Ji Ye’s scalp tingled. He had never seen anyone so protective. What was wrong with calling someone ’a man nearing death’?
He indeed was about to die!
While you all were fighting fiercely, couldn’t you turn around and take a look at Lin Yun? His acne has spread to his face!
Initially, it was only on his hands, but now it has gradually covered his whole body, except for a clear patch on his chest.
The places where these pimples grew were incredibly itchy and came with a stabbing pain like being pricked with needles.
Not too long ago, when his whole body wasn’t covered, Lin Yun could still chat and smile freely, but now he couldn’t help but have a somewhat twisted expression.
"Little Gold, hit me with one," he said.
Back in the Purple Cloud Cave when Lin Yun was comprehending the Dao, he had learned the Resurrection Thunder, which had healing effects and could also break curses.
Lin Yun didn’t know if striking himself with it would work, but it was worth a try.
This was the first time that Lin Yun had been afflicted with this kind of poison. He felt it was still bearable before, but now that pimples were forming on his face, it was something Lin Yun could not accept.
I can be poisoned, but I must remain handsome!
The great escape drama was unfolding between Ji Ye and Lin Yu. Lin Yu kicked Baili Liuyun away; Dongfang Hongyue also repelled the Red Sea Dragon. Seeing Yue Ningshuang and Ji Ye running away one after another, the Red Sea Dragon lost the will to resist. Dongfang Hongyue didn’t bother to kill him and prioritized chasing Ji Ye instead.
As for Fang Yu and Liao Wu...
Seeing the tides had turned, Liao Wu simply put his hands together in prayer, and Fang Yu, paying him no mind, chased after Ji Ye.
Ji Ye’s scalp tingled – how did I manage to attract so much hatred?
Fang Yu and Lin Yu were somewhat understandable, but why was Dongfang Hongyue joining the fray?
"Fellow Daoist, save me!"
At that moment, Yue Ningshuang had reached the entrance of the cave. Hearing Ji Ye’s cry for help, she instantly shot out a stream of energy, attempting to pull him up. Seeing Ji Ye grab the energy stream, Yue Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief. The exit was right in front of them; once out, she could use the Moon Shadow Dance to whisk Ji Ye away to safety.
However, as soon as they reached the entrance, from out of nowhere, a hand struck her down.
Not only did Yue Ningshuang fall, but she also dragged Ji Ye down with her.
Everything actually happened in the span of a few breaths. The sudden appearance of the large hand left Yue Ningshuang bewildered, and Ji Ye who fell to the ground was equally perplexed.
Dammit, what a trap!
Isn’t this a certain death?
When three exceptionally dangerous women enclosed him in a circle, Ji Ye’s scalp began to tingle.
Gentlemen are supposed to use their words, not their fists. Why did they go straight to violence...
"Tell me, who is the one facing death?"
Lin Yu’s sword pointed at Ji Ye, ready to plunge down if Ji Ye misspoke once more.
Ji Ye could see the resolve in Lin Yu’s eyes; he was indeed going to die.
Yue Ningshuang also realized the urgency of the situation. The forces they had brought were not the entirety of their faction’s power; there were still several acolytes left. But if Ji Ye were to be slain by Lin Yu here, a faction that was already somewhat weaker would now stand no chance against the Shenxiao Sect.
Furthermore, after being humiliated in front of Lin Yu and the others today, how could they have the face to oppose them in the future?
What they feared the most was Lin Yu and her allies seizing this opportunity to force them into submission. On the day of the Heavenly Demon Hand trial, Zhao Lingyu had endured the longest and should have been acknowledged as the king by all forces, heeding her command. Yet after Yuxuan’s death, everyone tacitly behaved as if the event had never happened.
If Lin Yu and the others were to use this as leverage to coerce them into recognizing Zhao Lingyu as their king now, the status of the Shenxiao Sect would become almost unshakeable.
Yue Ningshuang’s heart sank. Suddenly, she spotted Lin Yun.
Since Lin Yu made no attempt to conceal her relationship with Lin Yun, the only one who could make Lin Yu change her mind now was Lin Yun himself!
"I know how to save him."
