"Don't block my way." Her long, scarlet dress began to dance, and she turned into a red light as Lolth dashed out of the cave.
A white shadow flashed, and Gu Yanying blocked in front of her, her hair dancing in the wind. "Forgive me for not being able to comply."
Lolth immediately turned, changing directions a hundred times in an instant, but was blocked by the white shadow every time.
In an instant, a red light filled the cave and circled around it. A white shadow seemed to appear at every corner of the cave at the same time, forming an impenetrable wall.
In the blink of an eye, the two returned to the distance, as if they had never moved.
Lolth opened her red lips, and spat out a thread of spider silk, which turned into a huge spider web in the air, trapping Gu Yanying.
Gu Yanying didn't move at all. A small whirlwind rose beside her, and her clothes fluttered. This kind of small whirlwind was common even among mortals. At most, it could only blow up a few withered leaves.
But the spider silk, which was a hundred times stronger than steel, was silently torn to pieces upon contact with this wind.
"Astral wind!" Lolth's pupils shrank, and she became even angrier. She let out a strange shrill cry, and her body began to change. Her dress rose up, and her lower body became that of a black spider. Her long and sharp legs, and her large belly were covered in colorful stripes that spread to her upper body. Her snow-white skin also became dark, and her eyes glowed.
With a sharp, raspy voice, she said, "Are you going to move or not? Don't forget, half of your blood is demon!"
Gu Yanying said, "It's precisely because I have half demon blood that I have to stop you. This is the Dragon King's order."
"Dragon King! You want to use the Dragon King to scare me? " Lolth suddenly bent down, and her face was very close to Gu Yanying's. The two beautiful faces were almost touching, one devilishly beautiful, the other confident and calm.
"Who doesn't know that the Eagle God and the Dragon King are like fire and water!"
"The Eagle God is the Eagle God, and I am me. Demons still get along. Right, he even gave me this." Gu Yanying took out an item. It was a black dragon carved from an unknown material. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, looking very majestic.
"Black Dragon Talisman!"
"What an old-fashioned name." Gu Yanying pursed her lips. "However, he said that anyone who sees this item is like seeing him in person. The demons of Qingzhou will obey his orders."
Rose said in disbelief, "That's impossible. Why would the Dragon King give the Ink Dragon Talisman to someone like you …"
"Rose, step down." The Ink Dragon Talisman suddenly came to life and coiled around him. A dignified voice rang out, issuing an order.
Lolth's entire body trembled, and her body gradually shrank until she returned to human form. She bowed down and said respectfully, "Yes, Dragon King." She looked at Gu Yanying with reluctance, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
Gu Yanying flicked the Ink Dragon Talisman. "Uncle, are we still going to continue to endure?"
The Black Dragon Talisman was silent and motionless. Even its eyes were closed.
Gu Yanying said, "Alright." Her figure flashed and disappeared.
On the top of the Green Vine mountain, Gu Yanying descended from above and landed on the top of the hall silently. Her gaze was like a hawk's, landing on Fu Qingjin's back brightly.
Fu Qingjin let out a leisurely sigh and stood up. He turned around and clasped his hands. "Thank you for your trouble, commander Gu." There was no regret or dissatisfaction at all.
"Greetings to lady Gu, Green Vine, Golden Pheasant, and Lonely Grave." The three elders eased up inside and bowed in a hurry. They did not dare to take advantage of their seniority at all.
Yu Zijian blurted out, "So beautiful!"
Hua Chenglu raised her head and thought, I'd like to see just what this Gu Yanying looks like. Under the radiant moon, her clothes were even whiter than snow, her wide sleeves ruffling in the wind. Her beauty was alluring. As a woman as well, she could not help but sigh in admiration. However, if that was all, there was nothing special about her.
Who knew how many beauties Hua Chenglu had seen throughout her life, but they all had their own merits. She had heard that divine physicians could alter a person's appearance, allowing them to become as beautiful as they wanted. However, her beauty was incomparable.
Turning around, she saw Hwa Seung-zan staring at her as expected. Suddenly, she remembered what he had once said, "If you see her in person, perhaps you'll be able to understand me!" Hua Chenglu was reluctant, but she could not help but begin to understand. Even if her appearance was nothing special, he would still be infatuated by her!
"Little Hua, this must be your younger sister!" Gu Yanying drifted down and studied Hua Chenglu.
Her smile was like a spring breeze. Hua Chenglu struggled to hold any grudges. "Chenglu greets lady Gu. My brother has mentioned you quite a lot."
"You're not as good as your reputation!" Gu Yanying teased.
Hua Chenglu reddened and lowered her head. "You're right. You're not as good as your reputation."
Hwa Seung-zan snickered. "It's more or less the same."
Gu Yanying said, "You're Zijian."
"Do you know my name?"
"I've also heard little Hua mention you." Gu Yanying studied Yu Zijian. Her gaze seemed to be able to see right through her. Yu Zijian could only be regarded as having some talent, not some extraordinary talent. However, Gu Yanying did not doubt Hwa Seung-zan's judgement. Her understanding of the Sword Collection palace was much deeper than Hwa Seung-zan's. Her sharp instincts told her that this child would be the next master of the Violet Clouds sword.
Gu Yanying only talked to them, ignoring Fu Qingjin and the three elders.
The three elders' faces reddened, but they dared not lose their temper.
Fu Qingjin smiled self-deprecatingly and lowered his hand. He did not feel awkward at all. He had caused trouble for others, so being ignored was unavoidable.
Gu Yanying suddenly turned around and said to Fu Qingjin, "You're still here?"
"I'm going right now."
"If you want to go, then go. My head hurts whenever I see someone with a sword."
"Uh." Yu Zijian was innocent.
"Be good. I'm not talking about you."
"Before I came here, the palace master also asked me to pass on a message to commander Gu. The difference between humans and daemons is only a single thought. Please take care of yourself in the future, commander. Don't make a mistake." As Fu Qingjin said that, his bearing changed. All of his dispiritedness vanished, and his gaze was as sharp as a sword. He possessed a stern bearing, as if he had not only brought the words of the palace master from thousands of kilometers away, but also his bearing.
"Pass on a message for me as well. If you want to cause trouble, please go somewhere else. The Green province is very large. As long as the Treaty of Kings exists, I will maintain it. As for the future, we'll talk about it in the future." Gu Yanying's smile vanished completely. Her gaze was like a hawk's as she confronted him.
Although the two of them did not use any spiritual qi at all, the people in the surroundings all felt pressured.
Fu Qingjin eased up and returned to normal. "I can't copy the palace master's appearance. I will definitely pass on commander Gu's message." Afterwards, he said to Yu Zijian, "Miss Yu, you have a destiny with the sword. Are you willing to come with me to the Sword Collection palace to practise the path of the sword?"
His gaze was serious as he said sincerely, "I've come this time, not for anything else, but for you."
With that, the three elders were all shocked. The fated person of the Sword Collection palace was not just a free meal falling from the sky. She was basically a ladder that had fallen from the sky. Even they were envious of her.
Yu Zijian, who was originally the most inconspicuous and the weakest, immediately became the centre of attention. She was at a loss as her face reddened. "Apologies, I've already agreed to accompany Chenglu to the Book of the Hundred Schools … Ugh!"
"Are you stupid?" Hua Chenglu, who had been in a daze the entire time, returned to her senses and covered her mouth. "That's the Sword Collection palace!"
