The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1273: Chapter 379: A Faint Smile on Shen Hanyi’s Lips

The black mist surged all around, evil qi overflowing to the sky, a pair of cold blood-red eyes, a black long blade behind exuding a chilling cold aura.

"Yama!" Shen Yunzhou furrowed his brows, speaking coldly, "Why are you sneaking around like a thief, skulking about, are you planning a stealthy attack?"

And seeing the opponent, Old Emperor Xuanyuan Chong instinctively adopted a defensive stance.

This person possesses extraordinary strength; the last time at Wuxiang Mountain, the opponent refrained from using full force because of concerns over this man and that white elephant.

Otherwise, I truly couldn’t withstand it.

Zhou Qing’s heart also trembled, not expecting to meet Yama here.

That day at Wuxiang Mountain, the simulated Extreme Dao Weapon the opponent summoned still left him frightened at the thought.

That earth-shattering strike even forced the Old Emperor to bring out the gold dragon of fate in response.

Yama ignored Zhao Muye’s words but gazed mockingly at the Old Emperor like facing a formidable enemy.

"Don’t worry, I have no interest in your worthless thing." He carelessly waved his hand, "Visiting that day was purely on impulse."

"You see, the things in this world always come with an equivalent trade, there’s never free lunch, relying on tricks and petty distractions are ultimately only illusions, lacking substance."

Faced with Yama’s sarcasm, members of the Xuanyuan family turned livid.

Emperor Xuanyuan Hao clenched his fists until they turned white, joints crackling.

You who grew up in the fifth-level Cultivation Country, how could you possibly understand the price we paid to take this step!

Why... why do you so disdainfully deny all our efforts!

And Zhao Muye, rejected by Zhou Qing and Shen Hanyi, suddenly laughed skyward, "I detest you preachy types, come on, let’s fight first and talk later!"

He slammed his fists together heavily, producing a thunderous clanging like metal, surrounding spiritual power erupted like a volcanic eruption, late-stage Spirit Severing Realm pressure sweeping all around.

Yama shot him a glance, lazily spitting out two words, "Brute."

He then raised his hand in a halting gesture, "If you want to fight, you can, but..."

He surveyed the chaotic battlefield with a deep gaze, "Do you think now is the right time?"

"No more nonsense!" Zhao Muye’s fighting spirit surged, muscles knotted, "Then give me a straight answer! When do we fight?"

Yama slowly raised his head to the horizon, where the eastern sky was whitening.

His blood-red eyes narrowed, "Wait until the first ray of dawn pierces the clouds."

Zhao Muye followed his gaze, his battle unwavering in intensity, "Alright! It’s a deal!"

But Yama’s lips curled slightly into a smile, his gaze slowly turning towards the ever-icy Shen Hanyi.

"If I’m not mistaken, this old guy is from [Blood Contract Pavilion], right? Blood contracts as the pledge, never resting until death..."

His blood-red eyes squinted, "Clear pricing, fair to all, as long as enough spirit stones are paid, no matter who the target is, they will take the task."

Shen Hanyi’s gaze remained icy, responding in silence.

Then Yama suddenly changed the subject, "To be honest, Yan Sen had a good eye."

He shook his head regretfully, "Just a shame his life was too short. If he lived a few more years, maybe the Yan and Shen families would marry."

He stepped closer intentionally, "Speaking of strange things, his death was mysterious, not even knowing where the bones lie..."

His blood-red gaze locked onto Shen Hanyi’s veiled face, "Are you truly not saddened at all?"

Shen Hanyi remained icy, not even a lash quivering, as if the person before her was not worth speaking to.

But behind the veil, her pale lips pressed into a cold line; the cold around her intensified unconsciously.

Seeing his gamble fail, Yama changed his tone, "I am rather curious..."

He circled Shen Hanyi, airborne, "Haven’t you advanced too rapidly in the past two years?"

"Remember last time about twenty years ago, when you returned from the forbidden zone, you brought back a Transforming Divine Medicine, then broke from mid-stage to late-stage."

He suddenly halted, eyes bright with blood-red light, "How long has it been, and you’ve already ascended to Great Perfection? Have you... obtained some heavenly materials and earthly treasures?"

Zhao Muye looked at Shen Hanyi curiously too, his face full of simple curiosity, obviously unaware of these old stories.

Shen Hanyi’s gaze pierced like a sword, Great Perfection’s pressure directly locked onto Zhao Muye, "What does this have to do with you?"

"No, no, no!" Yama laughed, retreating with a wave, "I definitely can’t beat you now."

Though he said this, the black mist around him suddenly solidified, "But you know very well, despite being a realm apart, taking me down... isn’t that easy."

Shen Hanyi’s icy gaze intensified, the temperature around plunging suddenly.

Zhou Qing stood silently, his heart was enlightened.

The Transforming Divine Medicine Yama mentioned must be the [Ice Glaze Lingque Mushroom] from Zone 6.

Back then, the scroll recording Inscription Level Divine Techniques was lying right beside it...

Moreover, he had appraised, having told Zone 6 before, that if refined into "Ice Glaze Spirit Ascension Pill," it could aid in Spirit Severing Realm Breaking.

Just this Transforming Divine Medicine, was sought by her to save Shen Yunzhou, presumably Sun Hanyi used some leftover materials to refine it, thus breaking through to late-stage.

Later, needing two Transforming Divine Medicines to save Shen Yunzhou, led to the later shared journey with sun Hanyi to Kunpeng Palace, acquiring the [Crimson Flame Golden Pattern Vine].

Thinking back in detail, Shen Yunzhou surviving was due to him for obtaining both key items in the beginning and end...

"Hey, you must be Zhou Qing?" Just as he pondered, Yama’s voice pulled him back to reality.

Zhou Qing looked up, meeting those blood-red eyes.
