Chapter 63: Yu Ping An: The Heavenly Sword Sect is full of crazy people!
“Over there…!”
After pointing in the direction, a Spirit Sealing Sect disciple couldn’t help but defend himself a bit:
“It’s not us who trapped him. It’s Ye Tang from your sect who did it, and he’s the one pushing us to coerce Bai Feng to come out!”
Hearing this, Bai Yu Mo’s brow twitched slightly. She remembered Ye Tang as that guy who liked showing off in front of her—annoying as hell.
But Ye Tang’s reputation among ordinary disciples was pretty decent. Why would he target Bai Feng? And even dare to punch a Heavenly Sword Sect disciple?
Meanwhile, a Heavenly Sword Sect disciple also frowned, the anger faintly showing on his face. Clearly, he didn’t trust the Spirit Sealing Sect’s words: “Don’t come and lie to us!”
“What’s there to lie about?” The Spirit Sealing Sect disciple shook his head quickly. “If you don’t believe me, I can swear to the Heavenly Way!”
This was Yu Ping An’s ploy, the senior of the Spirit Sealing Sect. He chose to cooperate with Ye Tang to force Bai Feng out, but he didn’t plan on letting Ye Tang get away with it.
Though Spirit Sealing and Heavenly Sword Sect are both righteous sects, they’re rivals through and through. Especially since Heavenly Sword Sect has been at the top of the Northern Region for ages, they naturally wouldn’t miss a chance to slam their rivals.
Spreading stories about Ye Tang’s misdeeds among ordinary disciples—destined to ruin his reputation and possibly get him expelled from the sect.
After Yu Ping An swore on the Heavenly Way, the Heavenly Sword disciples, furious and confused, didn’t know what to do.
They had never expected that their former senior brother could turn out to be such a person.
“Let’s go. We’ll find the others,” Bai Yu Mo forced herself to suppress her burning rage. More than anything, she cared about Bai Feng’s safety.
Just then, Yu Ping An from Spirit Sealing Sect stepped out of the array. He was already furious from Ye Feng’s tricks, and now seeing the arrogant attitude of the Heavenly Sword Sect people, he couldn’t hold it in and roared: “After humiliating our disciple, you just want to walk away? Think again!”
DING!!
Yu Ping An’s feet suddenly froze, and his pupils shrank instantly.
He turned his stiff neck, only to see a short sword stabbed into the tree behind him—flying so close to his face that it nearly sliced his nose. A few black strands of hair, severed, drifted slowly down in the air.
“Say one more word, and next time, this sword will hit your brain,”
Bai Yu Mo slightly turned her head, expressionless, with eyes that looked almost empty.
Yu Ping An swallowed hard. This was the first time he felt d*ath so close to him.
These lunatics! The Heavenly Sword Sect is full of fucking crazy people!
……
“People have already left.”
“There are signs of a fight here. Looks intense.”
“There are two monster beasts here, but both had their brains hacked out by a sword.”
“Seems like they left with Senior Ping An.”
“Based on the tracks they left behind, they probably headed this way.”
A few disciples examined the footprints on the ground. These marks were left by Yu Yao and the others before they left—a special kind of trail meant for Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.
Bai Yu Mo stood at the cave entrance, her fingers clenched so tightly they turned white.
Did I arrive too late?
She had promised to protect him, yet still failed.
Was I too complacent because life was too easy?
I really am useless…
Bai Yu Mo lowered her gaze, her head drooping as she followed the trail left by Yu Yao and the others, walking quickly.
Hope still burned in her heart.
She desperately wished that Bai Feng was standing ahead, waiting for her on the road.
Not long after Bai Yu Mo left, a figure of a woman appeared in the woods behind the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.
“Hmph, hahahaha~ This was so easy to find! Finally, I get to see you again, Bai Feng~”
Meanwhile—
【Beep. Detected host has devised a brilliant scheme. Yu Ping An was scared out of his wits by Bai Yu Mo’s single sword. Reward: 100 Luck Points, Spirit Power +10.】
Bai Feng: “?”
What’s going on? Bai Yu Mo found us?
And it looks like she’s fighting with Spirit Sealing Sect too?
What does that have to do with me? I didn’t come up with some plan, did I?
But after all these times, he’s kind of gotten used to the system tossing Luck Points his way. He’s even curious about what excuse the system will come up with next.
‘Since Bai Yu Mo has already run into Spirit Sealing Sect disciples, it must mean they heard the news and came over. Should I find an excuse to rest a bit, wait for Bai Yu Mo to arrive?’
While Bai Feng was pondering, a tiny dot appeared in the distance.
The dot kept enlarging rapidly—before long, it became a person rushing at him at crazy speed.
Bai Feng sensed violent spirit fluctuations behind him, instinctively gripping his bamboo sword and turning around. All he saw was a blurry but familiar face charging toward him.
“Bro!!”
The voice hadn’t even arrived, but the figure already lunged!
Luckily, Bai Yu Mo didn’t lose her mind out of excitement. She quickly eased her momentum midair, avoiding smashing into Bai Feng.
However, she didn’t stop. Instead, she threw herself at him.
“Bro, are you okay? Why didn’t you come find me after all this happened?”
She gently grabbed his clothes, lifting her head with a mix of blame and worry in her tone.
“Ah, it’s Yu Mo!”
Bai Feng patted her head, motioning for her to step back, since others were watching.
Bai Yu Mo didn’t leave. Instead, she stared intently at his slightly pale, grayish eyes. She blindedly reached out to touch his eye socket: “Bro, your eyes…?”
“Overexerted. They’ll recover in a few days; I just can’t see clearly right now,” Bai Feng waved dismissively, not caring much about it.
“Is it Ye Tang?” Bai Yu Mo’s voice cooled down, and she already had the Heavenly Sword (Clone) in her hand. “Where is he?”
Bai Feng secretly looked around. Sure enough, when he mentioned Ye Tang, the other disciples, who had previously avoided eye contact, looked over.
Forget it. Since Bai Yu Mo asked, she clearly already knows about Ye Tang’s cooperation with Spirit Sealing Sect.
“He’s dead,” he shook his head softly.
Bai Yu Mo didn’t feel happy at this. Although Bai Feng said it simply, she’d seen the battle scene herself—no doubt it was a fierce fight, maybe even costing him his eyes.
She bit her lip, lowered her head, and whispered, “Sorry… we’d all promised it was going to be fine, but it’s because of me…”
After Bai Yu Mo received countless Luck Points from Bai Feng, he was almost instantly alert. His expression turned serious and calm.
“Bai Yu Mo.”
When Bai Feng said her full name, she shivered, raising her head. She saw two big hands grabbing her face.
“Bro… Bro?”
Her face immediately turned a bit red—was this move a little too intimate?
But Bai Feng didn’t give her time for overthinking. Glaring with faint anger, he pinched her small face and roughly kneaded: “Can you stop being so careless? Stop crying here. Is this all your fault? Huh? Or do you want me to scold you harshly?”
“Mm… Sorry…”
