Chapter 51

Zhang Zhang Wuji was at the age where he liked Wu Gong, so all his attention was focused on Abbess Miejue and the Golden Flower Granny on the field.

After Abbess Miejue got older, and with her face as cold as frost all day, her beauty was long gone.

If the Golden Flower Granny Dai Dai Qisi had her original appearance, she would naturally be a stunning beauty, but her appearance after disguise was really not worth complimenting.

It could only be said that people are really different.

Some people were flirting with two lovely little girls, while others were staring fixedly at two old women.

On the field, because Abbess Miejue held the incredibly sharp Heaven-Reliant Sword, she pressed the Golden Flower Granny so hard that she could barely lift her head, and could only try her best to dodge.

The Golden Flower Granny occasionally found an opportunity to strike, but they were all easily neutralized by Abbess Miejue.

The two exchanged another move, the Golden Flower Granny leading with golden flower hidden weapons, which were swept away one by one by Abbess Miejue.

The coral staff in her hand smashed toward Abbess Miejue's shoulder at a strange arc.

If she had responded in a normal way, Abbess Miejue should have dodged the coral staff's attack.

But she had great confidence in the Heaven-Reliant Sword in her hand, so she had no intention of dodging at all.

She directly slashed horizontally with the Heaven-Reliant Sword, cutting the coral staff in two with one strike, simultaneously neutralizing the offensive, and then took the opportunity to thrust toward the Golden Flower Granny's arm.

Seeing the Heaven-Reliant Sword cut off her coral staff, the Golden Flower Granny was shocked.

Regardless of hiding her Western Regions Wu Gong, her arm twisted half a circle in a strange posture, dodging the Heaven-Reliant Sword while striking Abbess Miejue's shoulder with one palm, shaking her back several steps.

At the same time, the Golden Flower Granny was also injured by the sword qi attached to the Heaven-Reliant Sword and retreated.

The two fought to a draw, but Abbess Miejue, who had the Heaven-Reliant Sword in her hand, actually had a greater advantage.

After all, the Golden Flower Granny, who had lost her coral staff, couldn't use her mortal body to catch the Heaven-Reliant Sword, and even if she used her Western Regions Wu Gong again, she wouldn't be able to dodge the shooting sword qi.

Seeing that if she continued to fight, she would either die or be seriously injured, the Golden Flower Granny had the intention to retreat.

Although Yin Li had the intention to leave the Golden Flower Granny, she had saved her after all, and had the grace of teaching, so seeing her seemingly injured, she hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

As soon as the Golden Flower Granny saw Yin Li approaching, she took her and used her light-body technique to flee.

Yin Li was caught in the Golden Flower Granny's hand, and it was too late to ask Gu Gu Hanyuan for help, so she could only look at him with a pair of clear and bright eyes, as if she wanted to imprint his appearance firmly in her heart.

It wasn't that Gu Gu Hanyuan couldn't save Yin Li, but he had always been very busy and had no base for the time being, so even if he saved Yin Li, he had nowhere to place her.

He couldn't send Yin Li to the Eagle Cult, could he? That would be sending her to her death.

So in the end, he decided to let the Golden Flower Granny keep Yin Li for now.

Of course, divine sense positioning was definitely indispensable; the four people present, the Golden Flower Granny, Yin Li, Ji Ji Xiaofu, and Yang Buhei, all had it.

Abbess Miejue had been hit by a palm after all, and her injuries were not light, so she extinguished the idea of pursuing.

She turned to look at Ji Ji Xiaofu.

"Ji Xiaofu, come here."

Ji Ji Xiaofu was very afraid of Abbess Miejue and didn't dare to refuse.

After Ji Ji Xiaofu approached, Abbess Miejue looked at Yang Buhei and asked:

"Is this your daughter? Who was she born with?"

When everyone was watching the battle earlier, Yang Buhei had called Ji Ji Xiaofu "Mother," and Abbess Miejue actually had an expectation in her heart, but she didn't make a move because of Gu Gu Hanyuan's presence.

Calling Ji Ji Xiaofu to her front to ask was also with the intention of cleaning up the sect if it was really what she thought.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Ji Xiaofu told the truth.

Looking at her once-beloved disciple, Abbess Miejue was both disappointed and heartbroken, but she still had the hope that she would make up for her crimes, so she ordered Ji Ji Xiaofu to assassinate Yang Xiao.

Unexpectedly, she was refused by Ji Ji Xiaofu.

In her anger, Abbess Miejue raised her palm, intending to strike Ji Ji Xiaofu's crown.

Ji Ji Xiaofu had a premonition when she refused Abbess Miejue's order.

Knowing Abbess Miejue's hatred for Yang Xiao, it was very likely that she would be cleaned out of the sect.

She thought in her heart:

"It's just a pity that I couldn't accompany Buhei as she grew up. And... I couldn't repay Gu Hanyuan's kindness."

At the final moment, besides the concerned Yang Buhei, her mind was filled with Gu Gu Hanyuan's earnest face when he detoxified her and his back when he protected her several times.

Ji Ji Xiaofu had already planned to close her eyes and wait for death.

Unexpectedly, a long sword thrust toward the palm Abbess Miejue had struck.

If she didn't withdraw her hand, the best outcome would be having her wrist cut off.

Abbess Miejue could only protect her wrist and retreat.

"Miss Ji, I said I would protect you, and I will never break my word."

Ji Ji Xiaofu looked at the back that was protecting her again, feeling full of security.

It was different from the burden of the engagement with Yin Yin Liting, which had little affection, and different from the resignation after being forced by Yang Xiao; it was the heartbeat of being protected several times and always having his back turned to her.

"Gu Gu Hanyuan, do you really want to stop me from cleaning up the sect?"

Seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan protecting Ji Ji Xiaofu again, Abbess Miejue asked angrily.

"I am just about to learn from your high-level techniques, Abbess."

Gu Gu Hanyuan turned his head to look at Ji Ji Xiaofu, his eyes filled with gentle comfort.

"Miss Ji, take Junior Brother Zhang Wuji and Sister Buhei and go first. I will catch up later."

Seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan's eyes, Ji Ji Xiaofu suddenly didn't want to die anymore; at least she couldn't let down his intentions.

She didn't refuse the proposal to go first, knowing that Gu Gu Hanyuan's Wu Gong was much stronger than hers.

She decisively took Zhang Zhang Wuji and Yang Buhei and fled.

The disciples behind Abbess Miejue didn't dare to make their own decisions to pursue without orders, and besides, Gu Gu Hanyuan was blocking the road with his sword, so it was hard to guarantee he wouldn't stop them.

"Good. This nun will learn the Wu Gong of Zhang Zhang Sanfeng's good grand-disciple."

In her anger, Abbess Miejue directly thrust the Heaven-Reliant Sword toward Gu Gu Hanyuan, Yu Wanting him to know the difficulty and retreat.

Gu Gu Hanyuan had no intention of dodging, and the Hero Sword met the Heaven-Reliant Sword.

The two swords collided, evenly matched.

Abbess Miejue's expression changed instantly.

"Xiantian Peak? How is that possible! And what kind of sword is this that can actually block the Heaven-Reliant Sword?"

Abbess Miejue thought: How long has it been since he went from early Xiantian to Xiantian Peak? What kind of talent is this?

"I just had a small chance encounter. This sword is called the Hero Sword."

Gu Gu Hanyuan didn't go all out, just showing his Xiantian Peak strength was enough.

"What a Hero Sword!"

Abbess Miejue really didn't expect that there would be a weapon that could collide with the Heaven-Reliant Sword without being destroyed.

But she was confident that her Wu Gong was still above Gu Gu Hanyuan's, so she wasn't afraid and fought him again.

Abbess Miejue's great reputation was 90% due to the Heaven-Reliant Sword, and her own Wu Gong at the early Master level could only be said to be at the bottom.

With the Hero Sword that could contend with the Heaven-Reliant Sword, stopping her was not a problem at all.

It wasn't that the Emei sect's sword techniques weren't profound, but Abbess Miejue's comprehension was limited, and she hadn't been able to learn them.

Although she created sword moves like the "Miejue Twin Swords," she relied more on the sharpness of the Heaven-Reliant Sword. To say they were exquisite would be pure nonsense.

The gap in sword technique mastery between the two was huge, and coupled with the fact that Abbess Miejue had been injured by the Golden Flower Granny earlier, they were now fighting to a draw.
