Yu Zhenghai's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"If it's really him, I must meet him. Brother, I'll be right back!"
As he spoke, he was about to fly out.
Si Wuya hastily grabbed Yu Zhenghai's arm and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, the bigger picture is more important."
At this moment, the Nether Sect was about to conquer Yu Province.
The situation was very good.
Although it looked like a hot knife cutting through butter, there were many hidden experts in the Divine Capital. No one could guarantee that one of them would suddenly jump out. At that time, without an Eight-leaf cultivator like Yu Zhenghai holding the fort, the situation might turn around. The Eight Great Marshals and the experts living in the Divine Capital were not easy to deal with. Yu Zhenghai was an Eight-leaf cultivator.
Yu Zhenghai sighed. "What a pity … Hua Chongyang."
"Your subordinate is here."
"Go and help this friend. If it's possible, I'd like to drink and chat merrily with him. We won't leave until we're drunk," Yu Zhenghai said.
"This subordinate obeys."
Hua Chongyang leaped off the flying chariot.
He summoned his Seven-leaf avatar without hesitation.
He moved forward in a flash.
As soon as the avatar appeared, the surrounding cultivators who were guarding the city fled in panic. They were scared out of their wits.
However, Hua Chongyang's target was not them, but the south gate.
In just a few breaths, the Seven-leaf avatar charged into the expanding wave of Primal Qi.
He saw the Seven-leaf avatar flying toward him from the corner of his eyes. He shook his head and said, "Boring."
He deliberately slowed down the speed of the energy swords.
Bang, bang, bang!
Xiao Shan's surging Gang Qi blew over.
Yu Shangrong reeled back.
"Senior!" Hua Chongyang exclaimed in shock. He did not even have the time to see Yu Shangrong's face.
Although he was a Seven-leaf Nascent Divinity realm cultivator, he did not dare to act presumptuously in front of a Five-leaf cultivator who had severed his lotus.
Yu Shangrong used the momentum to retreat.
The avatar dissipated.
He flew towards the forest outside the city.
Hua Chongyang shouted, "Open!"
The Seven-leaf avatar expanded to its maximum size. The Primal Qi storm in the skies was dispersed by the avatar.
The avatar shrank again.
Hua Chongyang looked down. Xiao Shan was already crippled and was falling down.
"The Taixu Academy's Xiao Shan? There was a path to heaven, but you didn't take it. There was no door to hell, but you barged in! Looks like the lesson Senior Ji gave me is still not enough! "
He clasped his palms together and formed a series of hand seals.
Several palm prints fell down.
Bang, bang, bang!
All of them smashed onto Xiao Shan's chest.
Boom!
Xiao Shan smashed onto the ground.
Hua Chongyang did not even look at him. He ran toward the forest outside the southern part of the city.
He entered the forest.
The surroundings were silent. Other than the remnant Yuan Qi in the air, there was no sign of the senior.
"He's so fast." Hua Chongyang floated in the air and retracted his avatar.
He carefully sized up the forest in front of him. After a moment of hesitation, he decided not to go any deeper.
Hua Chongyang cupped one hand in the other before his chest and said, "Our Hierarch admires you very much, so he ordered me to invite you to join us. I hope you will do me the honor."
His voice traveled out.
It did not matter if the other party could hear it or not.
The forest was silent. There was no response.
A Five-leaf elite who had severed his lotus would not be a weakling.
Even if he continued to chase, it would be useless.
"Your swordsmanship is superb, senior. It's comparable to the Evil Sky Pavilion's Mister Second, if not better. It's a pity that I can't meet you today. I'll take my leave, senior. "
Hua Chongyang left in a flash.
The forest was as silent as before.
A moment later, Hua Chongyang returned to the forest. He hovered in the air and searched his surroundings.
"Is he really gone?"
Hua Chongyang sighed helplessly. He turned around and flew toward Yu Province City.
Beneath the silent forest, behind a towering tree.
Yu Shangrong hugged his Longevity Sword and said softly, "Poor acting skills. Boring little tricks."
After he finished speaking, he raised a palm and pushed it down from his chest to calm the chaotic Primal Qi in his dantian's sea of Qi.
A Five-leaf cultivator was only a Five-leaf cultivator, after all.
It was shocking enough that Yu Shangrong was able to destroy the Seven-leaf Xiao Shan's dantian's sea of Qi and escape unscathed.
Perhaps, Yu Shangrong had gotten used to the attitude of an Eight-leaf cultivator and had gone overboard.
Yu Shangrong gripped his Longevity Sword tightly and smiled faintly. "There's no need to rush. I'll return to the peak sooner or later."
…
After Hua Chongyang returned to the flying chariot, he bowed at Yu Zhenghai and said, "Sect master, I couldn't catch up.
"Sect Master, I couldn't catch up. That mysterious expert … was too fast."
Yu Zhenghai said unhappily, "Chongyang … You've been getting sloppy lately. Is it because I've treated you well? "
Hua Chongyang fell to one knee and said, "I dare not!
I'm … incompetent. " Si Wuya said, "I dare not!
I'm … incompetent. "
"Eldest Senior Brother, you can't blame Brother Chongyang for this. How can an elite who has recultivated to the Five-leaf stage be so easily caught up to? "
Yu Zhenghai nodded. "You have a point, wise brother."
Hua Chongyang felt bitter as well.
He had been down on his luck lately. Not only did he fail the heaven worship platform mission, but he even brought Senior Ji to the branch and gave the sect master a good beating. Now, he could not even catch up to a Five-leaf cultivator. Indeed, this was inexcusable.
Yu Zhenghai stepped forward and lifted Hua Chongyang's hands. He said, "You've worked hard."
Something stirred in Hua Chongyang. He hastily said, "I dare not."
When Si Wuya saw this, he pointed at the situation below the city and said, "We've arrived at the General's Mansion. Eldest Senior Brother … it's all up to you now."
The others looked down at the General's Mansion at the same time.
The Nether Sect members had surrounded the General's Mansion.
Based on Yu Zhenghai's calculations, Ji Qingqing should have come out to fight them a long time ago.
Shortly after, the Azure Dragon Hall's Second Seat, Yu Hong, rose into the air from the mansion. He bowed and said, "Sect master, the General's Mansion is empty."
"Empty?" Yu Zhenghai frowned slightly.
Si Wuya gave it some thought and said, "You're quite sensible. No wonder the journey was so smooth. Ji Qingqing has long abandoned Yu Province and fled in the middle of the night. "
Yu Zhenghai was invigorated.
The sect members on the chariot bowed.
"Congratulations on conquering Yu Province, sect master."
…
Early the next morning.
In the purple bamboo forest to the north of Yu Province.
Ji Qingqing, one of the eight great generals, sat in the bamboo forest.
The four deputy generals nearby looked around.
"General, Yu Province has fallen."
"Understood."
Ji Qingqing took a sip from her water pouch and rose to her feet slowly.
She looked in the direction of Yu Province. There was no hint of reluctance on her face.
"General, it's getting late. Shall we depart?"
"There's no rush. Let's wait a little longer," Ji Qingqing said.
"Wait?"
The four deputies were puzzled.
Since they had abandoned Yu Province, why were they still here?
"Desertion is a capital offense … General, I don't understand."
"It's meaningless resistance," Ji Qingqing said.
While they were puzzled, a green-robed swordsman slowly walked toward them from the north of the purple bamboo forest with a sword in hand.
The expressions of the four deputies changed slightly. They hastily moved to Ji Qingqing's side and drew their sabers.
Ji Qingqing glanced at the green-robed swordsman and said, "Stand down."
"General?"
"I know what I'm doing," Ji Qingqing said.
The four of them retreated behind her.
Ji Qingqing and the green-robed swordsman faced each other from a distance.
"You're here?"
"How can I break a promise?" The green-robed swordsman smiled faintly.
Ji Qingqing said, "Yes.
I've done what I promised you … I hope you'll keep your promise. "
Yu Shangrong said, "I'm a man of my word. Since you've left Yu Province, you're no longer on my list. "
Upon hearing this …
The four deputies finally understood who the green-robed swordsman was. In Yu Province City, a sword path elite had imitated the Evil Sky Pavilion's Mister Second by writing a death list. Ji Qingqing and her eight deputies were on the list. Due to this, the remaining four deputies could not eat or sleep in peace. They did not expect the person before them to be the mysterious elite!
Ji Qingqing smiled and said, "Do you know why I agreed to leave Yu Province?"
"I'd like to hear the details."
"It's because your actions, the way you act, the way you speak, and the way you talk are very much like the man I admire," Ji Qingqing said bluntly.
"…"
Ji Qingqing glanced at him and continued to say, "You might think that a man of the battlefield like me is destined to have a heart of stone and won't be easily moved. However, that's not the case … He's the only one in the world who's worthy of me. He's the only one who fits my image of a man. Alas, he's from the Evil Sky Pavilion, and we're like fire and water … Your expression seems unnatural. Do you look down on someone like me? "
It was inappropriate for a woman to talk about the man she admired in front of others.
