Chapter 392: Offending another Woman
"Who?" Formation master Ma barked.
"Show yourself quickly."
At this time, some people looked at Jiang Yue but he shook his head in denial.
From the very beginning, Jiang Yue had no intention of interfering in the conflict between formation master Ma and formation master Ning.
Like everyone else, he was surprised by the sudden voice.
[Three hundred metres to our right.] Yu Nianzhen transmitted.
Hearing that, Jiang Yue refocused his attention.
However, the person had already moved and was now standing at the edge of the lake empty lake.
"Formation master Huangfu?" Someone asked cautiously.
"Is it really formation master Huangfu?"
"It’s formation master Huangfu Yan." A female cultivator said excitedly.
Huangfu Yan was not only beautiful but was also one of the few level-five formation masters in the Cangxing world.
Although she rarely appeared in public, her popularity was not inferior to alchemist Chen Qing.
"We have seen formation master Huangfu." Formation master Ma and Ning immediately greeted.
"Mmmm." Huangfu Yan nodded and then turned to the formation.
However, formation master Ma could not stand the silence and immediately questioned Huangfu Yan.
"Formation master Huangfu has just arrived and hasn’t had time to study the formation. Why did the senior say that my method is wrong?"
While Ma Song and Ning Ling were arguing, Huangfu Yan sided with Ning Ling even before she arrived.
At that time, Ma Song thought that someone was trying to cause trouble.
However, knowing it was Huangfu Yan who took Ning Ling’s side, Ma Song felt that Huangfu Yan was biased.
He felt that Huangfu Yan sided with Ning Ling because she was a woman.
After all, everyone knew that Huangfu Yan disliked men.
As long as she encountered a conflict between a man and a woman, she would indiscriminately take the woman’s side.
"Is formation master Huangfu against me because I am a male cultivator?" Ma Song questioned bravely.
When others heard this, they looked at the person in horror.
No matter what, Huangfu Yan was a nascent soul realm cultivator and a fifth-level formation master.
Even if she was biased, her strength was not what others could question recklessly.
[Azhen, what do you think about Ma Song?] Jiang Yue asked with a frown on his face.
[His condition is similar to the previous formation master Li.] Yu Nianzhen said.
After contacting the tomb formation for a while, formation master Li became arrogant and reckless.
In the end, he didn’t listen to reason and caused a disaster for everyone who followed him.
At this time, Jiang Yue noticed that Ma Song was the same.
He was recklessly confident and had begun to overestimate his skills.
[Azhen, how many clear heart pills do we have?]
[Don’t worry. Even if we run out of pills, we have a lot of clear heart fruits.] Yu Nianzhen said.
Although the two were confident in their Dao heart, they were facing an unknown formation.
Seeing how the formation could gradually change a person’s mentality, the two didn’t dare to be careless.
Since they had clear heart pills and clear heart fruits, it was best to frequently take a few.
In this way, any hidden dangers would be eliminated before they could take root.
[When Li Futian arrives, we should ask Hongzhu to refine more clear heart pills.]
[Your master is also coming.] Yu Nianzhen reminded and Jiang Yue sighed.
When he and Yu Nianzhen arrived in the Ice Palace sect region before the martial contest, Jiang Yue intended to break the master-disciple relationship with Chen Qing.
However, he never found a chance and they later entered the Nine Treasures secret realm.
After coming out, Jiang Yue hadn’t seen his master and hadn’t thought about the relationship for a long time.
[What do you plan to do?]
[I don’t know yet.] Jiang Yue said and Yu Nianzhen rubbed his head to comfort him.
[A lot of things have changed in these more than one hundred years. If you don’t know what to do, you can leave everything to fate.] Yu Nianzhen said.
The reason Jiang Yue was conflicted was because he was the only one of Chen Qing’s disciples who survived the war.
Knowing this, he didn’t want to add salt to Chen Qing’s wounds.
"I know." Jiang Yue said and signalled Yu Nianzhen to pay attention.
"Formation master Ma, how dare you question formation master Huangfu?" A female cultivator roared.
"Just because you are incompetent doesn’t mean others are the same." Another snorted.
When formation master Ma heard this, his face turned ugly.
Since he became a fourth-level formation master, no one dared to speak to him in a bad tone.
Unexpectedly, he was scolded so badly by a group of weaklings!
As Ma Song thought of this, his mood became gloomier and his eyes turned red.
"The person who kills those two bitches can join me to enter the tomb together." He roared.
This roar reverberated from the bottom of the lake and echoed around the lake for a few breaths.
At first, no one reacted.
However, many casual cultivators didn’t have a way to enter the tomb.
Now that Ma Song had given them a chance, they reacted quickly and unleashed attacks towards the two female cultivators.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of attacks flew towards the two women and the two couldn’t protect themselves.
Fortunately, HuangFu Yan acted quickly.
"Do you think I am dead?" She roared in anger.
After blocking the attacks for the two women, she waved her hand and dozens of water arrows flew towards the attackers.
Seeing the water arrows, those people seemed to wake up from a dream.
When they heard Ma Song’s words, they thought about the benefits but forgot about Huangfu Yan.
With her character, she would never allow a male cultivator to harm a female cultivator in her presence.
Most importantly, the female cultivators in question were targeted because of her reasons.
Unfortunately, those people regretted it too late.
By the time they regretted their reckless behaviour, the water arrows were already in front of them and they couldn’t dodge.
After dealing with those people, Huangfu Yan looked at Ma Song.
"Since you have deduced the formation, I will give you three days to break it. If you can’t break it, you don’t need to come up." She said with a cold look in her eyes.
’As expected, female cultivators are the most dangerous.’ Jiang Yue thought and leaned on Yu Nianzhen to watch the show.
[Azhen, who do you think will kill him; the formation or formation master Huangfu?]
[The formation.] Yu Nianzhen answered.
Huangfu Yan gave Ma Song three days but Yu Nianzhen had listened to Jiang Yue’s analysis of the formation.
If nothing unexpected happened, Ma Song would soon make a mistake and the formation would devour him.
"I think so too." Jiang Yue said and sighed in regret.
"What’s wrong?"
"It would be good if he could survive for three days. I am a little curious to see how formation master Huangfu will deal with him."
"You are not satisfied unless the world is on fire." Yu Nianzhen said and chuckled.
"As long as the fire doesn’t spread to us, I am happy to see the world burn. Isn’t it good to..." Jiang Yue started but froze midsentence.
’Don’t tell me...’ He thought and almost groaned in frustration.
When he was having fun, he forgot to lower his voice or secretly transmit his words.
At this time, he had a bad premonition and a chill climbed his spine.
"If you are curious, I can fulfil you." Huangfu Yan said in a cold voice.
Since she arrived, she had encountered one thing after another and she had already reached her limit.
No matter what, she couldn’t tolerate being treated like a show monkey.
How could she allow others to keep taking her so lightly?
"Senior formation master Huangfu heard wrong; I am not curious at all." Jiang Yue said in a polite voice.
In this matter, he knew he was wrong.
However, he could see Huangfu Yan’s intention to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys.
Knowing this, Jiang Yue didn’t want to cooperate with her to be used as a chicken to teach the monkeys.
"Heard wrong?" Huangfu Yan asked through gritted teeth.
She didn’t expect that Jiang Yue didn’t apologise and instead tried to place the blame on her hearing.
’Very good.’ She thought and a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes.
Without another word, she waved her hand and water arrows rushed towards Jiang Yue.
However, Yu Nianzhen had always been alert.
As soon as the woman attacked, a sword-intent barrier appeared in front of Jiang Yue.
The barrier was thin and looked like it was made of shimmering water but when the water arrows struck it, it didn’t break.
Instead, the attacked areas deformed and the whole barrier rippled but didn’t break.
When the power of the water arrows dissipated, the barrier was still intact and the people behind it were uninjured.
