Crack! Crack!
Crack! Just as the True Essence hand was about to descend upon Yang Ruoxu and Su Zimo, it was suddenly covered in a layer of frost.
In the blink of an eye, it froze into ice and froze in midair.
Xiao Li's expression changed starkly!
The frost qi followed his True Essence and spread rapidly to his arm.
His entire arm was covered in a layer of bone-chilling frost crystals. The blood vessels in his arm were instantly frozen!
What was even more frightening was that the frost qi showed no signs of stopping. It followed his arm and wanted to envelop his entire body.
"Ah!"
Xiao Li growled and retreated rapidly. A ball of light shone from the back of his head as he activated his Dao Fruit. All the True Essence in his body surged towards his frozen arm!
Boom!
The frost on Xiao Li's arm shattered and he was out of danger.
However, Xiao Li's expression was extremely terrible. He was incomparably pale and his body trembled slightly. Between his breaths, he breathed in waves of frost qi – it was clear that he was injured.
Right then, everyone realized that a snow-white butterfly had flown out of nowhere and was dancing around Yang Ruoxu and Su Zimo on the Sword Discourse Arena.
Most of the outer sect disciples did not know the background of that butterfly.
However, Xiao Li and the other legacy disciples frowned.
"Hmm?"
Even the Moonlight Sword Immortal who was standing on the clouds and seemed to be uninvolved had a change in expression. She glanced sideways and looked in the direction of the Sword Discourse Arena.
"Xiao Die, where did you run off to?"
Right then, a woman's voice sounded from afar. It was gentle and alluring, but there was a hint of anxiety and worry in it.
When she heard that voice, the sharpness on the Moonlight Sword Immortal's body was retracted and a hint of gentleness appeared in her eyes.
In next to no time, a woman with a graceful figure that wore a long dress and a light veil walked over. Her beautiful jet black hair was tied up in a bun. Even though she wore light makeup, her beautiful eyes were extremely moving, and they rippled with light as she looked around.
The moment this woman appeared, the noisy outer sect quietened down instantly.
Almost everyone's gazes were attracted by this woman!
Just by standing in midair, she seemed to have become one with the surrounding mountains, rivers, and plants, forming an ancient ink painting with a distant concept that was completely natural.
Many cultivators forgot to breathe, not daring to speak.
It was as if anyone who made even the slightest sound would break the mood in front of them and destroy this beautiful painting.
Painting Immortal, Mo Qing!
Su Zimo had seen Fairy Mo Qing once during the Immortal Sect's general election.
But now, when he saw Fairy Mo Qing for the second time, he was still stunned.
In terms of looks, Fairy Mo Qing might not be the most beautiful woman he had ever met. At least, she was not as beautiful as Princess Yufei.
However, Fairy Mo Qing had a unique temperament that made people admire her.
Her very existence was like a perfect painting.
Actually, when he saw the snow-white butterfly, Su Zimo had already guessed that Fairy Mo Qing should be nearby.
In everyone's eyes, the ice butterfly seemed to be dancing around Yang Ruoxu.
But in reality, Yang Ruoxu and Su Zimo were standing together.
Su Zimo had a feeling that the Ice Butterfly had appeared because of him.
"Junior Sister, why are you here?"
The Moonlight Sword Immortal asked with a smile as she moved forward to greet him.
"Senior Brother Moonlight."
Fairy Mo Qing nodded. "I don't know why, but Little Butterfly suddenly ran out. I was worried that it would cause trouble, so I chased after it."
"Junior Brother Xiao, is your arm okay?"
Fairy Mo Qing asked softly as she looked at Xiao Li.
"I'm, I'm fine."
Xiao Li glanced at the Moonlight Sword Immortal and laughed dryly.
Fairy Mo Qing's gaze landed on the ice butterfly on the Sword Discourse Arena. She frowned and scolded, "Little Butterfly, you're hurting people again. Why aren't you coming back?"
The Academy's core disciples all knew that this ice butterfly was Fairy Mo Qing's immortal pet.
Normally, it would never leave Fairy Mo Qing's side and would only listen to her.
But strangely, when it heard Fairy Mo Qing's call today, the ice butterfly did not immediately return. It continued to dance around Yang Ruoxu and Su Zimo.
Seeing this, a dark look flashed across the Moonlight Sword Immortal's eyes.
At this moment, Fairy Mo Qing also noticed Yang Ruoxu and Su Zimo and realized that something was wrong here.
"What's going on here?"
Fairy Mo Qing asked.
Elder Jian coughed softly and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill. It was as if a sharp sword was hanging by his neck. He could not help but shiver.
His eyes turned and looked at the Moonlight Sword Immortal in mid-air.
The Moonlight Sword Immortal was expressionless and did not say a word. She only glanced at him indifferently.
But with this glance, Elder Jian knew that the Moonlight Sword Immortal was warning him!
Although he was an inner sect disciplinary elder, his cultivation and status were far from the Moonlight Sword Immortal's.
The Moonlight Sword Immortal was one of the top three core disciples in the Academy!
Elder Jian sighed in his heart and did not say anything.
Xiao Li saw the Moonlight Sword Immortal's expression and understood. He smiled and said, "Senior Sister Mo Qing, it's nothing. It's just a small conflict between outer sect disciples. Let them handle it."
"Oh."
Fairy Mo Qing nodded.
Su Zimo looked at Yang Ruoxu in front of him.
At this moment, Yang Ruoxu lowered his eyes and did not speak. He did not even look at Fairy Mo Qing, as if he did not want to argue for himself.
Su Zimo was confused.
Fairy Mo Qing's appearance was Yang Ruoxu's only chance. Why did he not argue for himself?
Soon, Su Zimo thought of something and understood.
There were already many rumors between Yang Ruoxu and Fairy Mo Qing.
At this moment, if Yang Ruoxu stood up and argued for himself and asked Fairy Mo Qing for help, it would be difficult to clear the air between the two of them. The rumors would spread even more.
Yang Ruoxu did not speak because he was worried about Fairy Mo Qing's reputation!
Anyone could stand out and say this, except for Yang Ruoxu!
Thinking of this, Su Zimo stood up.
The others were intimidated by the Moonlight Sword Immortal and did not dare to speak, afraid of offending these core disciples. However, Su Zimo was not afraid!
Yang Ruoxu would help him take on this matter. He would not let Yang Ruoxu bear the pressure of the Moonlight Sword Immortal and the others alone.
Moreover, he had already had conflicts with the Moonlight Sword Immortal.
"Greetings, Senior Sister Mo Qing."
Su Zimo cupped his hands and said loudly, "The cause of this matter is me. It was originally … "
Under the murderous gazes of the Moonlight Sword Immortal, Xiao Li, and the others, Su Zimo was fearless as he recounted the entire matter.
The more Xiao Li and the others listened, the uglier their expressions became.
They wanted to immediately attack and cripple Su Zimo.
However, with Fairy Mo Qing present, no one could do anything.
Even the Moonlight Sword Immortal began to restrain herself, as if she did not want to upset the beauty.
Fairy Mo Qing looked at Su Zimo on the Sword Discourse Arena and gradually recalled that this green-robed scholar was the cultivator she had saved from the Immortal Sect's selection a thousand years ago.
"This person is really bold. Under the pressure of Senior Brother Moonlight and the others, he still dares to stand up and speak the truth."
Fairy Mo Qing's expression was indifferent, but she praised him in her heart.
