Chapter 573: Bound to the Pirate Ship

Xiao Mingyue now, like a fairy stepping out of the moon, her sleeves fluttering, she stood facing the wind.

She said the moonlight she emitted scattered toward all the Night Magic Sect disciples.

Just as their True Essence was about to collide, Xiao Mingyue suddenly vanished.

Even more strangely, the Night Magic Palace disciples' attacks, clearly seen striking the moonlight, all passed straight through and directly bombarded the original position of Xiao Mingyue's Guardian God Seal.

When Xiao Mingyue reappeared, she appeared opposite Hou Yunfeng, together with the Guardian God Seal, she erupted with full force, all the moonlight directly enveloping Hou Yunfeng.

"Well schemed!" Ye Liuyun silently cheered in his heart.

At this moment, the other Night Magic Sect disciples also reacted.

"It's an illusion!"

But this slight time difference was enough for Xiao Mingyue to defeat Hou Yunfeng.

With a "Boom," Hou Yunfeng, despite his full defense, was still blasted into the air. Blood spurted from his mouth, scattering into the sky.

Immediately, with a "Bang," Hou Yunfeng heavily fell to the ground, instantly passing out.

As Hou Yunfeng was being attacked, Qing Lin had already begun gesturing to Ye Liuyun, urging him to act.

Ye Liuyun immediately followed Qing Lin's words, unfolding his Soul Domain and directly devouring Hou Yunfeng's soul.

Once Hou Yunfeng was defeated, the other Night Magic Sect disciples immediately became leaderless, no one daring to attack Xiao Mingyue again.

Xiao Mingyue also noticed Ye Liuyun's action, wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

"Why did you kill him?" Xiao Mingyue said, somewhat dissatisfied.

Originally she had no major grudge with the Night Magic Sect; injuring someone and killing someone are entirely different concepts. Ye Liuyun's strike killed him, so the Night Magic Sect members would naturally bear her a grudge.

Ye Liuyun now finally understood why Qing Lin had urged him to act then: it was to bind Xiao Mingyue to him on the same boat.

"They want to kill me, so I can't kill them? I'm doing this to help you!" Ye Liuyun explained, feigning grievance.

His explanation actually made sense.

"No need for your help! Cleaning up these trash doesn't require you to act!"

Xiao Mingyue at this moment also couldn't well blame Ye Liuyun, with so many Night Magic Sect disciples present! She still needed to first deal with the external enemies.

"Are you planning to continue blocking us, or end up like Hou Yunfeng?"

As soon as her words fell, Hou Yunfeng's corpse was again engulfed in a green flame by Qing Lin, which then sucked the fire back in. Afterwards, it leapt into Xiao Mingyue's embrace, acting coquettishly, gesturing nonstop with its paws.

Xiao Mingyue was a bit dazed, not understanding what Qing Lin said, so she looked toward Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun and Qing Lin have a Divine Soul Contract, enabling him to understand its words via Divine Sense. He then explained to Xiao Mingyue: "This glutton says, since it's already dead, don't waste it. Waste is shameful!"

After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, even he felt that this Qing Lin was shameless!

Xiao Mingyue also felt both amused and exasperated.

Not even leaving a corpse, the Night Magic Sect will surely not let her off now. Yet seeing Qing Lin's shameless, coquettish rolling, she couldn't bring herself to get angry at it.

"Forget it, they're dead, I'm not afraid of the Night Magic Sect." Thinking this, she continued to gaze at those Night Magic Sect disciples.

Although her face still bore a faint smile, those Night Magic Sect disciples retreated straight back, making way for her, no longer daring to block her.

However, they hadn't completely given up, following far behind them, monitoring their movements.

Xiao Mingyue didn't mind them following, taking Ye Liuyun and continuing forward. As she walked, she also educated Ye Liuyun.

"From now on, when I act, just watch from the side, don't cause me trouble. Your cultivation is too low. If I truly encounter something I can't handle, even if you act, you won't be able to help me!"

"All right! I got it!"

Ye Liuyun sighed, as if his good intentions had been betrayed.

Seeing this, Xiao Mingyue also felt embarrassed to say more to him.

The two of them walked in silence for a stretch, when suddenly their Divine Sense detected a cave, from which three spotted giant snakes leapt out, blocking the entrance.

It seemed those spotted snakes had already detected someone approaching.

"There's likely treasure inside this cave!"

Xiao Mingyue observed the situation and then judged.

Ye Liuyun also felt that those several spotted snakes were guarding the cave entrance, and there might indeed be some treasure inside.

"Quite possible! Then when you act later, do I not need to lift a hand? But if there's treasure, I won't be left out, will I?"

"No need for you to act. If there's treasure inside, we'll each rely on our own abilities!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"Good!" Ye Liuyun happily took it easy. Moreover, while observing Xiao Mingyue's actions from the side, he could better understand her capabilities.

For example, her moonlight has a certain illusionary effect, capable of bewildering people's vision.

Xiao Mingyue thought it over, didn't rush to act. Instead, she waited for the Night Magic Sect people behind to catch up, then she summoned those disciples over.

"You don't need to fear; if you don't block me, I won't act against you. Ahead there's a cave with several spotted snakes guarding it. We can join forces to take down those snakes, then each rely on our own abilities to seize the treasure. How about that?" Xiao Mingyue asked.

She also didn't want to go adventuring alone.

The reason she didn't let Ye Liuyun act is still because he alone is weak and low in cultivation, unable to make much difference.

The remaining Night Magic Sect disciples' leader is merely a Martial Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Heavenly Gang.

At this moment he said with difficulty: "Each relying on our own abilities to seize treasure, we definitely can't outcompete you!"

Xiao Mingyue also knew they'd worry about this, so she directly explained: "Don't worry, I'll only take what I fancy. Ordinary things, I won't compete with you for. Moreover, you're just lending a hand; the main force is still me. You won't lose out either way. How about that?"

What Xiao Mingyue worried about was also these spotted snakes swarming to surround her. If they came one by one, she truly wouldn't fear them. Those spotted snakes are only at the first or second layer of Yin-Yang realm.

As long as the Night Magic Sect people can entangle two of the snakes for a while, she can easily dispose of those spotted snakes.

"Good!" The Night Magic Sect people, after observing the situation of those three spotted snakes, immediately agreed.

Afterwards, they studied an attack strategy, assigned tasks, then rushed toward the three cave-guarding spotted snakes.

Qing Lin then leapt again onto Ye Liuyun's shoulder, watching the excitement together with him.

Xiao Mingyue also didn't want Qing Lin to follow her during battle, lest she have to divert attention to look after it. Letting Qing Lin fight on its own, she still worried it might get injured.
