Zither Sect's valley.
The sound of the zither flowed …
Dozens of men and women with the emblem of Lovely Land sewn on their chests stood guard at the entrance of the valley with stern expressions. They held their weapons and paced back and forth.
From time to time, someone would raise his head and look out of the valley.
Occasionally, the faint sound of iron hooves could be heard. A group of people would stand up and look into the distance, watching the people galloping past on the official road outside the forest.
"Why isn't Boss here yet?"
"It's been half a day," someone whispered while waiting.
"Take it slow, don't rush."
"How can I not be anxious? The people over there have already run ahead of us. What if our people run into the Wild Wolves ahead of us? "
Before he finished speaking, someone immediately rolled his eyes at the person who spoke. "What are you worrying about? Didn't the boss say that the battle outside the border this time is of great importance and there are many people? We won't cross the border for now and will meet up in Flame Town and wait for a day!"
"Who knows whether the Wild Wolves will give us the chance to unite?"
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with Evil Emperor's head. Even though he has perfected Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, he still needs time to get used to it. He won't attack readily."
"That's right!"
A familiar face walked out of the crowd and explained in a calm tone,
"Vice Sect Master Wandering Know-it-all has also mentioned this before. Once Evil Emperor succeeded, he immediately returned to West Region, and his subordinates stayed in Persia's Shiva Town to suppress One Emperor and the others."
As soon as this person spoke, many of the dissenting voices in the crowd immediately calmed down.
Howling Moon!
The person who spoke was Howling Moon. He was the first to show his brilliance in Lovely Land's tournament, and he was the one who had the plate. His rather good intellect and tactics were very famous in Lovely Land.
It was precisely because of Howling Moon's quick thinking that Happy had arranged for him to rush to Zither Sect's valley at the last minute to welcome and protect Wind Chimes and Xu Yao.
Howling Moon looked at his brother in front of him, and he continued explaining.
"Evil Emperor needs time to get used to his new power and suppress One Emperor, but the main reason why he's staying in Persia's Shiva Town is because we've already sent news to Wild Wolves' ears and invited them to fight against us."
"A great battle?"
Many people in the crowd were shocked. "When did this happen?"
"It's the sect master who personally sent the message. He used the excuse of congratulating Evil Emperor for perfecting Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art and invited him to fight. Evil Emperor had to stay in Persia to fight," Howling Moon answered.
"…"
Realization dawned on the group of people when they heard this.
Evil Emperor had to agree to Evil Emperor's invitation in the name of congratulating him.
Right now, Evil Emperor had already perfected Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, and his momentum was unprecedentedly strong. If he refused in front of all the heroes in the world, he would just end up destroying his own spirit.
But if he really wanted to fight to the death against Happy, Evil Emperor, who had suffered two humiliating defeats, had to treat this seriously. He wanted to avenge the humiliation in a straightforward manner.
When Howling Moon said this, the group of people came to a realization.
"But …"
At this time, the companion who had been talking incessantly frowned and pointed towards the valley with his chin. "We know that the battle in the Western Region is very important, but what about the people inside? Isn't it a little unreasonable for us to waste our time and stay behind to escort the two of them? In any case, we are considered top-notch experts. "
"F * ck you!" Howling Moon glared at him. "That's Six-fingered Demonic Zither's disciple. Forget you, even if we work together, we might not be a match for her."
"That's right, it's also Nine Yin Blocked Pulses. During the fight against Dream Clouds, he's the classic example of an ace in his home ground, but he won't be able to shine when he's away …"
"That's right." "You're right. If something happens to Wind Chimes in Western Region, who's going to be responsible? Instead of having so many of us protect her, it's better if she doesn't go. "
Quite a number of people in the crowd put on disdainful expressions.
Even though Wind Chimes' strength was acknowledged by everyone, there were too many restrictions in her Nine Yin Blocked Pulses. Many people felt that it was very unreliable for Wind Chimes to go to Western Region. She was too weak.
"The sect master should have his own considerations." Howling Moon might be puzzled by Wind Chimes heading to Western Region, but when he thought about how Happy always planned everything perfectly before he took action, he chose to trust Happy seriously.
But this explanation could not convince the others.
Besides …
This time, they were protecting a nameless person who was rumored to be Sect Master Happy's girlfriend a long time ago. This made the group even more awe-inspiring.
They felt that it was going too far to arrange for a group of top-class elites to protect two women so that they could not participate in the battle in Western Region normally.
"…"
Howling Moon found himself powerless when he heard the people's discussions a few times.
His voice traveled faintly into the valley. It drifted into Wind Chimes and Xu Yao's ears.
Against their expectations.
The two women did not react at all. They continued playing their zither tunes.
Practicing the qi cultivation technique and martial arts in the dao of the zither required a very good temperament. They needed to be indifferent to the world and not be affected by the matters of the world.
This was what Wind Chimes had learned from her.
Also …
Xu Yao knew her own situation very well. She knew how proud and displeased these people were, which was why she could understand them. She turned the pressure into motivation and worked even harder to train. Even if it was not for herself, she would not waste her time sulking for Happy and Wind Chimes.
When she saw how calmly Xu Yao maintained her state of mind, a hint of admiration shone in Wind Chimes' eyes.
While she fiddled with the zither tunes, she continuously made the gestures of winding, pushing, flicking, trembling, spinning, pressing, and lifting.
Her fingers danced about like butterflies dancing and intersecting with each other on the zither strings.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Occasionally, a few soundwaves that were difficult to see with the naked eye turned into invisible arrows. With a slight tremble, they left the zither strings and shot forward without a single sound. Every single time they reached an area that was thirty-two feet away from Xu Yao, they were like water droplets crashing into gentle waves. They were instantly digested, and not a single ripple was stirred up.
The killing dao of Six-fingered Demonic Zither's zither tunes placed a great emphasis on momentum, and its damage was astonishing. The sound blades that came from Wind Chimes usually suppressed her enemies with their numbers and might!
But ever since she learned some things from the sect master of Zither Sect, Wind Chimes came to understand a pretty good method.
Endless Affection!
Endless Affection!
It was said that when the zither tunes were aroused, they could lower the enemy's guard. They could attack people without a sound, and they were very powerful, catching people off guard.
The few zither notes just now were from this move.
But Xu Yao practiced zither forces, and it was a zither technique that allowed her to protect herself from all directions. She could coincidentally break the endless affection.
Even though she used up a lot of qi, the path of zither sect itself had the ability to quickly recover qi and mental state when she played the zither.
Even though she had to withstand quite a lot of attacks, Xu Yao could still recover some of her energy within a short period of time. She could maintain the circulation of her zither forces and handle the situation with ease.
"Alright!"
Wind Chimes was originally not very confident that Xu Yao could protect her, but when she saw that Xu Yao had calmly received her strongest killing move, she could not help but cast a sidelong glance at her. Her interest was piqued, and she reminded her, "From now on, I will gradually increase my offense!"
"…"
Xu Yao did not answer. She only played her zither while she nodded to show that she understood.
Clang, clang, clang!
Wind Chimes' aura changed.
Her zither notes suddenly turned from a gentle tone to a sonorous and passionate one! Her gaze was fierce, and a domineering murderous aura spread out in the air above the valley. In an instant, the valley was dyed so much that it looked like a horrifying battlefield.
The sect master of Zither Sect was watering the vegetables in the garden, and when he heard the sound, he stopped what he was doing. He turned his head slightly and looked over.
Even though the skills he taught Wind Chimes could increase her strength, when it came to continuous explosive force, Six-fingered Demonic Zither's martial art was still more outstanding. After all, it was a zither tune that was born to kill.
When the continuous sounds of killing accumulated, even those in the dao of heaven would have to treat it seriously!
The sect master was not the only one who sensed the change in the valley. Howling Moon and the other supreme-class elites at the entrance also quickly sensed the change in the valley.
When they noticed Wind Chimes' murderous aura directed at Xu Yao without bothering to hide it, their expressions changed.
"What's going on?"
"Didn't Sect Master Happy's girlfriend just return to the game?"
"Judging by Wind Chimes' stance, why does it seem like … like she's going to spar with all her might?"
"Hiss …"
When he heard his companions' cries of surprise, Howling Moon scowled. He stared at Wind Chimes and Xu Yao in disbelief.
But he did not say anything. Instead, he stared at Wind Chimes and Xu Yao's expressions and watched quietly.
A mighty sound blade river swiftly rose from Wind Chimes' zither notes. It swelled up to become a sound blade river that was more than thirty-two feet wide. It had a majestic presence, and it charged above the valley in a domineering manner. Then, it swept toward Xu Yao from above.
"…"
Xu Yao's expression was stern.
But her hands never stopped moving.
The speed at which her fingers moved was much slower than before. Every single time she plucked the zither strings, there would be a heavy tremor.
At the moment the sound blade river rushed to an area that was thirty-two feet away from her, a silver-white crystalline disc that was more than two feet thick appeared in front of her.
Zither force appeared!
In an instant, countless fierce sound blades crashed against the zither force with loud clattering sounds.
Shatter!
Shatter!
The sound blades were like corporeal weapons. They crashed against the zither force and let out piercing sounds.
Ten!
Twenty!
Thirty!
In the blink of an eye, one-third of the sound blade river crashed against the zither force.
As time passed and the number of sound blades shattered increased, Wind Chimes' expression turned incredibly complicated and strange. She was happy, but also dejected.
She did not hold back in her attacks just now.
Even though she did not use the Golden Needle Acupuncture Technique, when she fought at full strength, each of her attacks did not lose to those at the peak of Inaction Realm. Even a normal top-class elite would definitely cough up blood and suffer from internal injuries if they had to withstand ten of them.
But the successor of Zither Sect's master, who had only practiced for a few days, had managed to turn from a nameless person to someone who could withstand half of the damage from the sound blade river in such a short amount of time.
Wind Chimes stared at Xu Yao, who slowly stopped and placed her hands on the zither strings. She also saw the silver zither force that was covered in cracks. Wind Chimes knew that she had almost reached the end.
Just when she was prepared to stop and return the remaining half of her attack, she saw Xu Yao suddenly do something that she found incredibly familiar.
Bang!
Xu Yao swiftly pulled one of the zither strings taut.
Wind Chimes was shocked.
Boom!
A loud bang rose, and the silver-white zither force in front of her that was covered in cracks exploded!
The zither force seemed to have form. It exploded outward and turned into countless piercing whistles. An astonishing power erupted from it, and it crushed the remaining sound blade river as easily as if it was made of twigs.
