The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 72

Early in the morning, the sun had just risen.

Yan Jue woke up, washed up, put on her Daoist robe, and then donned the Breath Concealing Cloak before heading out.

Her destination was the cliff.

The other day, Bai Ying entered the cave and found that the Demon Lord was dead.

The Demon Lord’s main method of communication with the male lead now was through telepathy, suggesting he had only recently occupied another body and couldn’t fully adapt yet.

If the male lead only entered that cave at night, then it should be completely empty during the day.

Yan Jue intended to visit the cave herself.

Yan Jue reached the cliff and looked down.

She immediately spotted a hard to notice protrusion on the rock face.

The protrusion was hidden by vines one would easily miss it without a careful search.

A cold sweat broke out on Yan Jue’s forehead. She reached out, grabbed the vines, and slid straight down, landing on a stable, large rock.

In an instant, a dense blanket of divine consciousness spread out. Yan Jue closed her eyes, carefully sensing everything around her.

Deep inside the cave, there was no one.

Yan Jue immediately slipped into the cave.

It was exactly as she had seen through the Heavenly Sight on Bai Ying: a cave filled with a strong smell of blood, and it was extremely narrow.

Yan Jue braced her hands against the rock walls and walked dozens of steps inward when her forehead suddenly struck something hard. The pain made her gasp for air.

It was surprisingly low here.

Yan Jue rubbed her aching forehead and continued walking. After a few more steps, the surroundings suddenly opened up.

It was very quiet, and the faint sound of running water could be heard.

What came into view was a small waterfall; water poured down from the top of the rock cave, forming a natural water curtain.

Yan Jue’s heart was pounding in her throat. She cautiously passed through the water curtain and went to the back.

The smell of blood grew thicker, making her feel nauseous.

As expected, the area behind the water curtain was empty.

Except for one cold corpse.

The hideous, stooped Demon Lord lay on the ground, face down, clearly dead.

Yan Jue quickly noticed something he was clutching.

A black beast egg, emitting a faint glow in the darkness.

This was the only light source in the cave. By the weak light, she could see fine cracks on its surface.

Yan Jue had a subtle feeling that this was no ordinary egg.

Yan Jue remembered that in the original novel, the Demon Lord had a Bag of Holding (Bai Bao Nang). If the Demon Lord’s soul had already abandoned this broken body, had he taken that bag with him?

If the Demon Lord’s soul only transferred a few days ago, it meant he likely didn’t have time to take it.

The cave was so secret that it might have led him to drop his guard.

Yan Jue took two steps forward and suddenly stepped on something.

A crisp sound rang out under her foot. She immediately stopped.

Using the faint light, Yan Jue saw that she had stepped on a shattered piece of purple jade.

Yan Jue’s pupils constricted. She immediately crouched down to pick up the purple jade, then took out the two pieces of purple jade she had already collected from her Qiankun Pouch.

Sure enough, the three pieces of jade fit together perfectly!

The outline clearly formed a jade pendant, but one final piece was still missing.

Based on the three pieces she had pieced together, Yan Jue could make out the top two characters: Jiu Xu.

Yan Jue stared for a moment, then placed the jade pendant into her Qiankun Pouch.

She continued searching for the Bag of Holding.

The cave was simply too dark, making the search difficult. After a long time of fumbling, Yan Jue touched a cold, hard box.

It seemed the Demon Lord had only been soul-separated; his current true body had never been here.

Yan Jue touched the side of the box and found a layer of blue barrier surrounding it.

Since returning from the Immortal Rendezvous Town, Yan Jue had often visited the Scripture Repository and had a rudimentary understanding of how to break intermediate arrays.

If she took this treasure box out, she could probably solve it in ten days to half a month…

Yan Jue thought about it and decided not to.

She put the treasure box back in its place and then exited the cave.

The Five Dragons Summit continued with heated fervor. In the blink of an eye, it was the second day.

After the first round yesterday, nearly half of the participants had been eliminated from the field.

When Yan Jue arrived at the Five Dragons Plaza, it was already packed with people.

Just as she was about to move forward, she saw a large crowd rushing in the same direction.

“The first match today is between Menghengjun and Senior Sister Yun Jie. This is too exciting!”

“No way, can we see this in the second round? Don’t the duels between the two big figures need to be the finale?”

“I remember last year, the Head Senior Sister against Yun Jie they fought two overtime rounds before she won. Both of their cultivation levels have increased this year, so this match is definitely going to be spectacular!”

Yan Jue was slightly surprised.

The first match today was actually between Qi Xianqing and Yun Jie.

Yan Jue then went to the Number One Arena, folding her arms and looking up.

Yun Jie was already up there, but Qi Xianqing was nowhere to be seen.

Yun Jie was the Head Disciple of the Clandestine Escape Sect, and she was exceptionally outstanding in all aspects.

More importantly, she was the eldest daughter of the Yun family of Cheng Tan. She was exposed to immortal arts from a young age and began her cultivation on the mountain when she was five.

She was naturally gifted, and all the elders in the sect adored her.

However, all of that stopped the day Qi Xianqing came up the mountain.

Yun Jie still remembered the scene of Qi Xianqing’s arrival.

That day, Qi Xianqing, dressed in a plain Daoist robe, followed by Yun Zhen, her eyes indifferent, gazed at her with a pair of clear peach blossom eyes, without shifting her focus.

Despite being a foundling, Yun Jie was shocked that Qi Xianqing could be so unpretentious.

Every day since then became a nightmare for Yun Jie.

Her own legend as a genius was shattered by Qi Xianqing. In every class test and every sermon, Qi Xianqing would crush her with overwhelmingly excellent scores.

At first, Yun Jie was defiant and could still fiercely beat Qi Xianqing in the internal sect tournaments.

Qi Xianqing would be covered in bruises after every fall, but her face never showed a hint of fear.

Later, after the age of twelve, Yun Jie could no longer defeat Qi Xianqing.

Yun Jie heard from her master that Qi Xianqing possessed a special physique, which gave her extraordinary talent in cultivation.

Yun Jie swore that she would surpass Qi Xianqing.

One day, she would take a cultivation level and scores even better than Qi Xianqing’s, throw them fiercely in Qi Xianqing’s face, and curse, “So what if you have a good physique? I’m simply better than you!”

A melodious bell rang, and a snowy white figure slowly walked onto the arena.

Today, Qi Xianqing was wearing a light cloud colored layered skirt with a cross collar and narrow sleeves. Her dark black hair was pinned up with a jade hairpin, and she carried the dark black immortal sword Candle shadow on her back. Her slender figure seemed to hold boundless explosive power.

The sunlight was perfect, further highlighting her snow-white skin. Her peach-blossom eyes were dark and clear.

At the same time, the audience below erupted in cheers.

“I feel like I’ve seen all the immortal beauties I wanted to see during these few days of the Five Dragons Summit…”

“It’s unprecedented to see Menghengjun two days in a row.”

“The Emerald Gambling Altar over there is open! I bet on Menghengjun to win. What about you all?”

The “Heavenly Evolution Three Ultimates Array” was activated.

The arena for Qi Xianqing’s match turned out to be a scorching sunny day.

Yan Jue frowned slightly this should be a relatively good outcome, as hot weather was not a disadvantage for Qi Xianqing.

Yun Jie cupped her hands towards Qi Xianqing, and the next second, she rushed at Qi Xianqing with her talismans!

Most disciples of the Five Dragons Sect cultivate the sword, but Yun Jie, being in the Clandestine Escape Sect, does not usually practice the sword.

Instead, like her master, Mu Zhongzi, she manipulates talismans.

Talismans are divided into many types.

Ice talismans, water talismans, fire talismans…

At the Enlightenment Realm, one can begin to learn the Five Dragons Sect Immortal Art: Wood Talisman Transformation.

This is the ability to transform a small wooden talisman into a talisman soldier, a talisman general, or even a talisman king.

The destructive power is immense.

And now, Yun Jie, with a cold face, directly hurled a fire talisman at Qi Xianqing!

The wooden talisman, aflame, flew towards Qi Xianqing with the speed of thunder, turning into a Candle Dragon in the sky and exploding in a burst of scorching sparks in front of Qi Xianqing.

“Clang!!!”

Qi Xianqing gripped her sword in a backhand block. The scorching flames collided with Candle shadow, directly deflecting the fire.

The huge spiritual power exploded, and the terrifying pressure of a Fusion Realm master’s duel spread across the plaza.

The surrounding spectators were momentarily silent, all their faces solemn. After all, they were all cultivators, and under these circumstances, no one felt comfortable.

Yun Jie threw out another wooden talisman. The talisman fell to the ground and rapidly grew into a giant Talisman General. The General raised its hands high, and a massive water sphere appeared between them.

The water sphere spun wildly under the sunlight, splashing water, and a heavy rain instantly began in the arena.

Yun Jie’s move could actually simulate real weather, directly overriding the weather created by the Heavenly Evolution Three Ultimates Array.

Watching from below, Yan Jue couldn’t help but frown slightly.

This was undoubtedly extremely unfavorable for Qi Xianqing.

Yun Jie threw out another talisman.

The wooden talisman slapped the ground with a “pop,” transforming into two black and white fish. The two fish seemed to sprout wings in the sky and flew rapidly toward Qi Xianqing.

Yun Jie’s face was cold as she slammed down the next talisman. Qi Xianqing took a step back and realized that a massive net had been erected around her without her knowing, trapping her in a tiny Qiankun Array.

A Tengshe (flying snake), carrying the power of grass and wood, immediately followed.

A fire talisman and an ice talisman were launched simultaneously.

In front was the Yin Yang Fish, behind was water, and she was immobilized.

The audience below began to whisper.

“The opening is this intense. It seems Senior Sister Yun is truly serious about a decisive duel with    Menghengjun this time.”

“This is the power of the Clandestine Escape Sect, wow! Eliminating the opponent within ten breaths it’s incredible.”

Yun Jie’s mood was not relaxed at all. Even though her art of Qimen Dunjia (Mysterious Gates and Hidden Jias) was highly proficient, putting Qi Xianqing at a disadvantage in a short amount of time, she couldn’t smile.

Because Qi Xianqing was looking up at the inescapable net she had cast, her sleeves fluttering in the strong wind, her expression composed.

No extra emotion could be discerned.

Yun Jie couldn’t help but feel a little panicked. Could Qi Xianqing possibly turn the tide under these circumstances?

Water, fire, and ice surrounded her.

In front was the Yin Yang Fish.

Behind was the Tengshe.

They were all attacking her from four sides.

Sword cultivators usually summon their flying swords during a duel, but Qi Xianqing generally preferred not to summon hers. If circumstances allowed, she would wield the sword by hand.

This allowed for better integration with Candle shadow and a more authentic feeling.

A scorching heatwave attacked. The sharp teeth of the Tengshe were already touching her skin, and the sparks from the Yin Yang Fish had already sprayed onto Qi Xianqing’s skirt. In the nick of time, Qi Xianqing gripped Candle shadow with both hands, suddenly leaped into the air, and avoided all attacks from above.

With a deafening explosion, the Tengshe and the Yin Yang Fish slammed into each other!

The arena had array restrictions preventing cultivators from flying, yet Qi Xianqing was able to jump so high, showing the depth of her internal power!

Qi Xianqing’s expression was icy calm the look she always wore when she was serious. In the heavy rain, she held her sword up with both hands, her skirt fluttering.

Then, she swung both hands down, her body taut, unleashing a full power strike.

Yun Jie was stunned. In the next breath, she saw a massive, bluish green wave of sword qi, a huge crescent shaped sword glow, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy rushing towards her.

Instantly, the array formed by the wooden talismans began to shatter!

With the array broken, the restrictions on Qi Xianqing’s movements were automatically lifted.

Wooden talismans flew out of Yun Jie’s hands. Harnessing the power of the sun above, a huge wall of light instantly appeared before Yun Jie.

Yun Jie never imagined that the gap in minor realms above the Fusion Realm could be so vast.

Qi Xianqing was actually already at the late stage Fusion Realm!
