"Wu Tie, I will definitely avenge you," he clenched his fists and swore.

The pursuers were right behind him, and he didn't dare to stop his steps.

With hot tears streaming down his face, using both hands and feet, Zhang Xingyu stumbled and continued to climb up the mountain.

He didn't know how long he had been climbing, nor how many mountain ridges he had crossed.

At dusk, the pursuers behind him were finally shaken off.

He collapsed to the ground, never wanting to get up again. He had been running for his life the whole way, hadn't had a drop of water all day, and hunger and exhaustion attacked him together.

After lying on the cold ground for a long time, he struggled to sit up.

Looking around, peaks stood like a forest, surrounded by white clouds. Only then did he realize that he had climbed to the top of the mountain.

In the center of the mountaintop stood a huge blue stone.

This blue stone was about three meters high and five meters wide, shaped like a mysterious turtle, its surface as smooth as a mirror, with silver light faintly flowing inside.

It was truly an excellent natural stone bed.

Zhang Xingyu lay on the ground for a while. When he had regained some strength, he struggled to climb onto the large stone.

By the time he opened his eyes again, the round moon had already risen into mid-air.

The moon is full in the sky, the moon is half in the human world, month after month the full moon meets the half moon.

I didn't expect it to be the fifteenth of the lunar month again so soon.

Calculating, it had been almost a year since he transmigrated into this Xianxia World.

He remembered that the day he first arrived was also a full moon night.

The same moon, a different world. He wondered if the moon on Earth was as bright as the moon here at this moment. He wondered if his elderly parents on Earth were missing each other just like he was.

He lay on the blue stone for a long time, and only when the night chill struck did he carefully climb down from the blue stone.

At this moment, it was midnight, and the bright moonlight shone through the clouds onto the blue stone beside him, making this stone look exceptionally smooth and transparent.

In his eyes, silver-gray fish were swimming happily inside the stone, occasionally spitting out strings of white bubbles.

Good heavens, leeks stir-fried with green onions, there was actually a group of small fish kept inside this large blue stone.

Zhang Xingyu leaned on the blue stone, wanting to examine it carefully.

Just at this moment, at the end of the horizon, two sword lights, one green and one white, suddenly flashed.

Looking at the direction the sword lights were aimed at, it was exactly the mountain peak where he was.

Cultivators had come.

Zhang Xingyu didn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly chose a large tree with lush branches and leaves and climbed under the canopy like a monkey to hide.

He had just hidden his body on a tree branch when the two sword lights, one green and one white, had already arrived at the mountaintop.

The sword lights landed slowly.

A beautiful young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old stepped down from the white flying sword. This girl had a melon-seed face, big eyes, eyebrows like green mountain ink, skin like ice and snow, and she held a golden round plate in her fair palms.

That round plate was the size of a palm, engraved with the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, with a small silver-white sword inlaid in the middle, and the direction the sword head pointed was exactly the blue giant stone on the mountaintop.

Stepping down from the green flying sword was a handsome man in his twenties. This man was dressed in green, had a burly figure and a handsome face, and wore an eager smile on his face, but a faint evil air was revealed between his brows.

After the girl in white saw the large blue stone on the mountaintop, her pretty face immediately smiled like a flower, and the two small dimples under her apple-shaped cheeks were very charming.

She excitedly called out to the man in green clothes: "Second Senior Brother, there really is a treasure here."

Seeing her joy, the man in green clothes also smiled and coaxed her to be happy: "Little Junior Sister, this Spirit-Seeking Plate of yours is truly not bad, it really can find treasures."

The girl raised the corners of her mouth and giggled: "Of course! This treasure was a gift from First Senior Brother. First Senior Brother is really so good to me!"

When the man in green clothes heard the girl's words, his two thin eyebrows twitched slightly, and then returned to their original state.

"Little Junior Sister, when did First Senior Brother return to the mountain?" the man in green clothes asked softly.

The girl was full of smiles: "First Senior Brother returned to the mountain on the third of last month. You weren't there at the time, otherwise, you could have also received a gift from him."

After a pause, the girl added: "First Senior Brother is so majestic. A few days ago, he killed many demonic people in the Cangshen Sea, and this treasure was snatched from those demonic people by him."

When this girl spoke of her First Senior Brother, her willow eyebrows curved, her eyes shone, and two cute dimples appeared under her smooth, rosy apple-shaped cheeks.

Seeing her expression, the man in green clothes couldn't help but be overcome with jealousy.

The falling flowers have the intention to follow the flowing water, but the flowing water is heartless and misses the falling flowers.

This man in green clothes was very infatuated with his Little Junior Sister. However, the Little Junior Sister's feelings were firmly tied to that First Senior Brother who was wandering outside. No matter how he tried to please her, the Little Junior Sister was always lukewarm toward him.

But the man in green clothes saw that the Little Junior Sister was very happy, so he took out a beautifully decorated wooden box from his bosom and carefully opened the wooden box. The bottom of the wooden box was lined with silk, and a uniquely shaped bronze mirror lay on it.

The man in green clothes held the wooden box with both hands and handed it to the girl in white: "Little Junior Sister, this is a treasure I specially bought for you from the Qizhen Pavilion; you can take it out to play with usually. I've tried it, it's so much fun."

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother." The girl nodded, took the mirror, and stuffed it into the storage bag at her waist casually.

Seeing that the Little Junior Sister didn't even look at the bronze mirror he had carefully selected, the man in green clothes felt bitter in his heart.

"Junior Sister, this mirror is very interesting! Take it out and try it," the man in green clothes said to his Junior Sister.

The girl in white took out the mirror as instructed, looked at it, and said loudly: "Second Senior Brother, there's nothing special about it!"

"Try looking in the mirror," the man in green clothes advised.

By the moonlight, the girl in white held the mirror in front of her.

At the same time, an ugly woman with small eyes, big ears, a big mouth, and as fat as a pig appeared in the mirror.

"A monster!"

The girl in white was so scared that she threw the mirror onto the ground.

On her chest, two small mountains shook up and down, and her heart thumped non-stop, and it took a long time for her to calm down.

"Hmph, Second Senior Brother, why did you take this ghostly thing to scare me?" The girl in white was very unhappy and accused the man in green clothes loudly.

The man in green clothes didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Junior Sister, this mirror is called the Haha Magic Mirror; I bought it specially to make you happy."

"Make me happy? I think you wanted to scare me to death," the girl in white was still furious.

"I'm sorry, Junior Sister. I didn't mean it," the man in green clothes quickly stepped forward to apologize.

"Hmph, you don't even use your brain when buying things. First Senior Brother still understands my heart the best," the girl in white still wouldn't let it go.

The man in green clothes was silent.

Every time he gave a gift to his Little Junior Sister, he could never satisfy her; why was that? Heavens, is it really that difficult to make a woman like you?

A moment later, the man in green clothes collected his inner pain and said softly to the girl in white: "Junior Sister, that large blue stone is a treasure, let's go over and take a look quickly."

The girl in white rolled her eyes at him, but followed him to the large blue stone.

When she arrived in front of the large blue stone, she watched it carefully for a while, and then called out happily: "It really is Moon-White Empty Clarity. It looks like there's quite a lot inside!"

"Really? Then hurry up and collect it. Moon-White Empty Clarity is a top-grade treasure that assists in cultivation and is very helpful for us cultivators to break through small realms. If other cultivators see it, I'm afraid they will snatch it."

As the man in green clothes spoke, he took out a pure white jade bottle and handed it to his Junior Sister with both hands.

The girl in white took the jade bottle and took out a small silver-white knife to gently scratch the bottom of the large blue stone.

A quarter of an hour later, a drop of silver-fish-like liquid seeped out from the crack and dripped into the jade bottle with a tick.

It took a full hour for the girl in white to take out all the Moon-White Empty Clarity from the blue stone.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister, this bottle of Moon-White Empty Clarity has a full thirty drops, I'm afraid it weighs half a catty!" The man in green clothes congratulated his Junior Sister.

"Hmm. I'm really lucky this time to have gotten so much Moon-White Empty Clarity. Next time I see First Senior Brother, I will give it to him as a gift," the girl laughed happily, her voice crisp and pleasant.

However, these words drilled into the ears of the man in green clothes like a sword piercing his heart, causing him unbearable pain. He imagined the scene of his Little Junior Sister and First Senior Brother being intimate, and despair, jealousy, and hatred, all kinds of negative emotions surged into his heart, instantly occupying his entire mind.

His expression changed constantly, turning from sunny to cloudy, and from cloudy to cold.

However, the girl in white did not notice his abnormality and was still telling him how happy First Senior Brother would be when he saw the gift.

A trace of viciousness flashed across the face of the man in green clothes.

He took out a red jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to the girl in white: "Junior Sister, you must be tired after being busy for so long. This is a bottle of Nine-Flower Jade Dew, which is best for replenishing one's vitality; drink it quickly."

The girl took the bottle, took a sip, and then stopped: "Senior Brother, why does this Nine-Flower Jade Dew taste strange?"

"This is top-grade Nine-Flower Jade Dew, with top-grade Solomon's Seal and Jade Ganoderma added inside. Compared to ordinary Nine-Flower Jade Dew, the taste is naturally different," the man in green clothes explained.

"So that's how it is." The girl in white took another big sip.

Before long, her pretty face began to turn red, and her body began to heat up.

"Senior Brother, my whole body is heating up, this Nine-Flower Jade Dew..." The girl in white only felt that her whole body was unbearably hot.

"Junior Sister, it's right that your whole body is heating up. In this Nine-Flower Jade Dew, I specially added the 'Floating Immortal Powder'; in a while, I will remove your clothes for you, Junior Sister, and guarantee that I will let you fly to the Nine Heavens," the man in green clothes laughed wolfishly.

"You, you..." The girl in white finally realized that she had fallen into the man in green clothes' trap.

But at this very moment, her head was dizzy, her speech was slurred, and her body had been occupied by a primitive desire.

Seeing this, the man in green clothes couldn't wait to step forward and hug her.

"Scoundrel!" Zhang Xingyu cursed secretly.

Beside the large blue stone, the man in green clothes had already laid his Junior Sister down on the grass.

"Good Junior Sister, from now on, you are mine. Haha, damn First Senior Brother, no matter how powerful you are, Little Junior Sister is mine, she is mine!"

The man in green clothes shouted crazily while reaching out to take off his Junior Sister's clothes.

"Beast!" Zhang Xingyu cursed in his heart.

"Animal!" A loud shout sounded from above Zhang Xingyu's head.

Accompanied by this loud shout, a golden sword light suddenly shot out from the tree canopy above Zhang Xingyu's head.

The sword light went straight for the man in green clothes' face.

When the young man looked in the direction of the sound, the golden sword light had already reached him.

He didn't have time to think and rolled to dodge.

The sword light grazed his face and cut off one of his ears at the root.

"Ah!"

The man in green clothes screamed.

He didn't care about his ear and quickly released his flying sword, wanting to block it.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, just as he released his flying sword, the flying sword was cut into two by that golden sword light.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in green clothes quickly scurried into the forest beside him and crawled down the mountain.
