“Uncle-Master Yi Qing!” Yu Luan called out anxiously, seeing through Shu Yi’s ploy to turn them against one another. “Don’t listen to her. She’s doing this on purpose to cause inner conflict among us. Don’t fall for her tricks.”

“So what if I’m doing this on purpose?” Shu Yi smiled, as if unafraid of them. She flicked her wrist and caused a black blade to appear in her hand. She held it up to Shen Ying’s throat and asked, “Do you really want her to die before your eyes?” She started to press the blade into Shen Ying’s neck.

“Stop that!” Zuo Shuming’s face was drained of all colour. He rushed to speak, “Don’t hurt Lady Shen. Isn’t it me that you’re after? Just come after me. Why are you harming innocent lives?”

Yu Luan looked at him, confused. But Zuo Two Bucks took a step forward and continued, “Let me exchange places with Lady Shen. I won’t be able to resist you!”

“Disciple-Nephew Zuo!” Yu Luan and a few other Nascent Soul Perfected Ones shouted out, clearly conflicted.

“Hmph, I don’t just want your life.” Shu Yi did not even consider Zuo Shuming’s suggestion. Instead, she scanned the group coolly. Her expression turned aggressive suddenly. “I want the lives of everyone in Gui Yi Sect!”

“You...” Yu Luan’s expression changed as well. Yet, he could not think of any way to save them all. He had no choice but to turn to the person beside him. “Uncle-Master Yi Qing?” He was his uncle-master after all.

He turned and saw that Yi Qing and Lonemoon were not as anxious and panicky as the rest of them were. Instead, they were almost... too calm. Perhaps they were hiding it well? There was not a hint of nervousness on their faces.

Yu Luan was just about to say something more, when Shu Yi became impatient. She threatened again, “If you don’t act now, I’m going to kill her immediately.”

“Heh heh.” Lonemoon muttered under his breath. “Don’t wait any longer. Go ahead and kill her!” Just try and see if you really can achieve that?

Huh?

Zuo Shuming: “...”

Yu Luan: “...”

Everyone: “...”

Weren’t they supposed to be very close? Why doesn’t it look that way at all?

Even Shu Yi was stunned. A second later, she became even angrier. She glared at the two seemingly disloyal people and said, “Do you really think I won’t dare to?” She tightened her grip on the blade in her hands, pressing it deeper into Shen Ying’s neck. It was so close to drawing blood.

Zuo Shuming: No!”

The group: “You can’t do that!”

Everybody’s faces drained of all colour. They screamed out in unison.

Shen Ying finally stopped chewing her fruit. She looked down at the blade and rolled her eyes. Mm, the atmosphere is so tense. She has to play along. Thus, she opened her mouth and said unemotively, “Ah, so scary! Help me!” It was almost as if she had memorised these lines off a textbook.

Lonemoon pursed his lips. He had almost summoned spirit Qi to end everything off.

“Ahyaya, Father Niu, I’m so afraid. Quick, get ready a billion dollars to ransom me!”

Lonemoon: “...” F*cking retard.

Yi Qing: “...” Er, should he do something or not? This is so difficult – Master, help me!

“Father Niu...”

“Shut up!” Do you think I’m blind? The blade has already bent around your neck, alright? Can you sound more sincere when you’re calling out for help? Can you at least act a little nervous? Do you think you’re chanting a mantra? And... Don’t even think about getting more pocket money!

“This...” Yu Luan looked around at the three of them. For some reason, he felt like something was amiss. “Brother Lonemoon, Yi Qing...”

“Sect Master.” Lonemoon frowned and took a step forward. “I think you’d better return to your mountain and keep an eye on Tian Ji. There are many fiendish cultivators there still. Let’s try to prevent any sudden attacks.”

“Huh? Ah!” Yu Luan hesitated and glanced at Shu Yi, who was still standing there. Then, he turned to Yi Qing, who had not spoken all these while. “But this situation...” Did they really not require assistance?

“Don’t worry, it’ll be alright. After all...” He looked up at the sky and said a little louder, “It’s almost lunch time?”

Lunch!

(⊙_⊙)

Shen Ying, who had been very into the acting, suddenly stiffened. Her expression darkened as she shouted, “Chef!” This time, she sounded more emotional than she did before.

“Yes, Master!” Yi Qing nodded. He did not even hesitate for a second. Clearly unworried about the situation, he ran in the kitchen. Soon, the sound of pots and pans clanging together sounded. He was cooking. Even now, Shen Ying did not forget to add one line.

“Cook a fish at noon – I want it barbequed!”

“Yes, Master! No problem, Master!”

Zuo Shuming: “...”

Shu Yi: “...”

Everyone: “...”

Huh?

What’s going on! Shouldn’t they worry about saving her first! Why was Yi Qing cooking at this moment!

“Are you playing me?” Shu Yi asked. Her expression began to twist. The demonic Qi around her body was surging by now. She turned to grab at Zuo Shuming. A burst of demonic Qi shot toward him. Zuo Shuming was just about to be hit by it.

Lonemoon’s expression darkened as he activated his God Power and raised his sword. Suddenly, a burst of sword Qi rushed forward to meet the demonic Qi. There was a loud crash. The black demonic Qi dissipated at once. The sword Qi continued to head toward Shu Yi.

Shu Yi was completely unprepared for the strength of the sword Qi. When it hit her, she was pushed back several steps with Shen Ying in tow. When she finally stabilised herself, she looked up at Lonemoon in disbelief. “You... You’re a Soul Formation cultivator as well!”

Lonemoon frowned. He was too lazy to carry on acting anyway. He quickly adjusted his cultivation level to that of a Soul Formation cultivator’s, and then caused a huge suppressive force to press down on Shu Yi.

Zuo Shuming and Yu Luan were shocked stiff. Both of them turned to Lonemoon at the same time.

“Brother... Brother Lonemoon!” Zuo Shuming stared blankly at him. It was a long time before he finally composed himself. It was no wonder that even after he passed Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment and even Core Formation, he was still no match for Lonemoon. Each time he trained, he would fall at Lonemoon’s feet. So it was because Brother Lonemoon was a Soul Formation cultivator!

It was then that Yu Luan finally began to understand as well. It was no wonder that Uncle-Master Tian Yi favoured this Foundation Establishment disciple so much. Could it be that Uncle-Master Tian Yi already knew about this a long time ago?

“You’ve been hiding your cultivation level! You’re really despicable!” Shu Yi glared at Lonemoon, her gaze full of hatred. He had been hiding by Zuo Shuming’s side. That explained why all her plans fell through in the end. The more she thought about it, the more the hatred welled up inside her. As if recalling something, her eyes immediately turned red and the demonic Qi in her body intensified. She looked at Shen Ying, who by now had resumed chewing her fruits. She laughed sarcastically and said, “You’re really a mortal at the end of the day. That’s why you don’t belong to any sect. But even without Yi Qing, I’m going to destroy Gui Yi Sect.”

Yu Luan heard the hidden meaning in Shu Yi’s words. His chest tightened as he asked, “What do you mean?”

Shu Yi grinned and responded, “Do you really think that I’ve been doing nothing but combining the various demonic sects while I have been in Skyfiend Sect all these years?”

Zuo Shuming paled. “What else do you have up your sleeve?”

The demonic Qi around Shu Yi suddenly exploded. She became engulfed in demonic Qi, so that none of them could make out her figure any more. The sky instantly became darker. Grey clouds blew toward Nameless Mountain as the ground began to shake. The spirit herbs which filled the ground were now wilting before their very eyes. In fact, the entire mountain was turning a dead brown.

Something huge seemed to be trying to break out of the ground. Its presence caused all of their hearts to turn cold. It was like she had just awakened something frightening.

“This is.. the spirit meridian?” Yu Luan looked down at the black thing popping out of the ground. But it was demonic Qi. “Could it be...”

“The demonic source!” Lonemoon exclaimed. Immortal cultivators had the spirit meridian, but demonic cultivators had the demonic source.

Everybody sucked in a sharp breath collectively. Suddenly, they recalled the array that Shu Yi had set up at the base of the mountain. It looked like a Binding Array, but the demonic Qi was obviously charging toward the ground. So she had not just set up the array for fun – she was taking the chance to turn the spirit meridian in the mountain into a demonic source. She came here to capture Lady Shen just to buy time for the demonic source to form!

Shu Yi’s expression hardened. Emphasising each word, she shouted, “I’m going to kill all of you!”
