Chapter 299: The Crisis of Shui Yunyue

"Lingyun, that mysterious letter-sender has appeared again." In the Villa, Busujima Saeko held a letter and handed it to Lingyun.

Lingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, then took the envelope and pulled out the letter paper. The content on the letter paper was very simple.

"They have locked onto the target, it is Shui Yunyue of the Shui Family. The operation will be carried out tonight, and there are at least three Heaven Tier individuals involved."

"Three Heaven Tier individuals?" Chen Jing, who was beside Lingyun, frowned slightly. "I remember you saying that people from outside the borders with strength above Heaven Tier are not allowed to enter Huaxia, right?"

"There are loopholes to exploit in this. If I send someone at the peak of Earth Tier into Huaxia and let them break through while inside, does that not count as entering Huaxia with Heaven Tier strength? Furthermore, with the Holy See's power, it is not difficult to temporarily catalyze several Heaven Tier experts. They can even catalyze Innate Experts," Lingyun said.

"That works?" Luo Yexi raised her eyebrows slightly.

"This is not a difficult problem. It should be said that forces like the Holy See all possess such methods." Lingyun stood up. "Of course, these catalyzed experts basically lose the potential to advance any further."

"Shui Yunyue's current strength is at most at the Mysterious Tier Peak. Facing such a siege, she likely has no power to fight back. Once that Crystal is taken away, that will be the time of her death," Luo Yexi said.

"Lingyun, looking at the two of you, it seems you have some understanding of the purpose of these Holy See guys coming to Beijing! And what is this Crystal you speak of? Could it be that you know about that mysterious Crystal, and that the matter of that mysterious Crystal is currently with Shui Yunyue, and it even concerns Shui Yunyue's life?" Hearing their conversation, Chen Jing could not help but frown slightly.

"This?" Luo Yexi glanced at Lingyun, unsure whether she should speak.

"We do indeed have some understanding of this mysterious Crystal. Moreover, the Crystal they are looking for right now is with Ye Xi." Lingyun did not intend to hide it from Chen Jing.

"The Crystal is with Ye Xi?" Chen Jing looked at Lingyun in astonishment. "Then what is this holy object mentioned in the intelligence, and why do you say that the Crystal is linked to Shui Yunyue's life?"

"Who said there is only one of these things?" Lingyun asked with a smile.

"This, it seems, there really isn't," Chen Jing said somewhat dejectedly. "By the way, you said that the Crystal concerns Shui Yunyue's life, what is that situation?"

Luo Yexi then explained the situation regarding Shui Yunyue and the Crystal to Chen Jing.

"There is such a thing?" Chen Jing's eyes were full of surprise. "If that is the case, wouldn't Shui Yunyue be in danger? Moreover, this kind of Crystal must absolutely not fall into the hands of those guys from the Holy See!"

"Master, didn't you say before that after reaching the Heaven Tier, you would solve the problem of her soul and body being separated?" Luo Yexi suddenly said to Lingyun.

"Ahem, it's just that there have been a few more things to deal with lately, and I forgot about this matter," Lingyun said with some embarrassment.

Hearing Lingyun's words, Luo Yexi could not help but roll her eyes, then said: "Tonight I will go to protect Senior Shui Yunyue, and perhaps I might even be able to find the person who sent us the letter!"

"Hmm, be careful. I don't think the other side will only dispatch three Heaven Tier individuals. If it is to seize this Crystal, the madmen of the Holy See might even disregard everything to catalyze several Innate Experts! We cannot even rule out the possibility of that Pope taking action," Lingyun warned.

"Let Lingqi provide support for me; if there is any situation, she can also transmit the news back in the shortest possible time," Luo Yexi said.

Lingyun thought for a moment, then took a Small Sword from his bosom and placed it in Luo Yexi's hand. The Small Sword looked only three inches long, but it was entwined with four small dragons of different colors. The small dragons looked lifelike, as if they might fly out from the sword body at any moment.

"If you encounter an opponent you cannot deal with, unleash this Small Sword!" Lingyun said to Luo Yexi.

"Hmm." Luo Yexi gripped the Small Sword in her hand and nodded forcefully.

At night, Shui Yunyue walked home alone.

Suddenly, her brows furrowed sharply: "Something is wrong, the surroundings are too quiet, eerily quiet! Could there be an ambush?"

Recalling what Luo Yexi had quietly warned her about this morning, a trace of an ominous premonition rose in Shui Yunyue's heart.

Suddenly, golden patterns flashed brightly on the ground. In just a few breaths' time, these golden patterns had formed a massive Array. The moment the Array took shape, it separated the area she was in into a forbidden zone.

"This is, the Holy See's Array?" As the eldest daughter of the Shui Family, Shui Yunyue naturally had extensive knowledge; seeing the Array on the ground, her expression turned ugly at once.

Just as she was stunned, a golden stream of light shot violently toward her direction. Shui Yunyue's expression changed drastically; she felt the threat of death from this ray of light. Too late to think, Shui Yunyue tilted her body, narrowly avoiding the beam's attack.

"The Holy See's Holy Light Technique? Are you people from the Holy See?" Looking at the people appearing around her, Shui Yunyue said coldly.

"Miss Shui Yunyue, we have no malice in coming here this time, we only wish to welcome back our Holy See's holy object. If you, Miss, can return the holy object to us, we guarantee we will not touch a single hair on you. Moreover, Miss Shui Yunyue, you will become the most important friend of our Holy See." Daisy stepped forward, revealing a kind smile toward Shui Yunyue.

"Hmph, you talk better than you sing; do you think I don't know what kind of characters you in the Holy See are! If I really handed over the so-called holy object you speak of at this moment, the next moment would be my death, right!" Shui Yunyue sneered.

"Since that is the case, then there is no need to continue talking!" A sneer appeared on Daisy's face. "Attack!"

Following Daisy's order, a person clad in heavy armor stepped forward imposingly, and a formidable aura spread outward with them as the center.

Looking at the heavy-armored warrior in front of her, a trace of bitterness flashed in Shui Yunyue's eyes. This person in front of her was a Silver Knight of the Holy See, with strength equivalent to an Earth Tier Martial Artist. Although her strength had improved significantly during this period, she had only raised her strength to the Mysterious Tier Peak. Facing the Earth Tier Silver Knight, she felt she had encountered a massive crisis she had never faced before.

With a "Bang," Shui Yunyue and the Silver Knight clashed head-on. The moment they traded blows, Shui Yunyue only felt a massive force surging toward her; if not for her clever method of dissipating force, this move just now would have been enough to make her right hand lose its combat capability. Even so, she still felt her right hand go numb. Conversely, that Silver Knight, apart from his body swaying slightly, was completely fine.

"Miss Shui Yunyue, you should give up; the power of a Silver Knight is not something you can compare to!" Daisy said triumphantly from the side.

Shui Yunyue did not speak, quietly concentrating all her focus to deal with the Silver Knight in front of her with all her might. However, there was a major rank difference between the two after all; even though Shui Yunyue went all out, she was gradually suppressed by the Silver Knight.

With a "Bang," the Silver Knight seized an opportunity and punched heavily into Shui Yunyue's abdomen. Shui Yunyue's face turned pale, her body flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from her mouth.

Watching the Silver Knight gradually approaching, Shui Yunyue felt her vision becoming somewhat blurred. The Silver Knight's attack just now had already caused severe damage to her internal organs.

"Am I going to die here?" Shui Yunyue thought to herself.

"Crack, crack..." Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the Array on the ground. A sharp Sword Qi instantly pierced through the Array, punching a massive bloody hole in the Silver Knight who was closing in on Shui Yunyue. The armor on that knight was no different from paper in front of this sharp Sword Qi.

Watching the Silver Knight fall before her, Shui Yunyue was somewhat dazed. Afterward, she saw a red figure approach her, carrying her and instantly flashing several yards away.
