Chapter 452: Fairy Ye

Having had their good deed called out, the young cultivator's face flushed, and they said with a hint of annoyance:

"You people who don't know quality! Stop ruining my reputation here!"

After finishing, the young cultivator turned their head and ran off like a wisp of smoke! Behind them came the sound of the crowd's boisterous laughter!

"Pavilion Master Zhang is a famous person on the Xianhuan Continent now! When it comes to methods and divine abilities, who can compare? Especially that ruthless streak of his, which makes others feel they can never catch up! Ask yourself, who dares to oppose the Great Underworld Mansion, and who dares to slaughter over ten thousand disciples of the Great Underworld Mansion! This kind of courage and boldness is not something you can compare to! Using someone else's name to make a living! It really makes people laugh until their teeth fall out!"

Seeing the young cultivator leave, the old man spoke loudly behind them. At this moment, others also kept chiming in. Zhang Nuo was slightly stunned; he hadn't expected his reputation to grow so large in such a short time! It had even reached the point where people were worshipping him!

Walking around the counter a few times, Zhang Nuo continued to listen for news in the city! Half an hour later, he walked to the workshop area, his mood becoming uneasy! During this time, he had obtained a lot of information from the workshop area, especially regarding the Mo Tie Alliance Leader!

This Alliance Leader of the Mo Tie Alliance was named Hai Wuqing! He was a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, though this person had been trapped at the late stage for several hundred years. He had come to the Xianhuan Continent as a Loose Cultivator, but he had not found any opportunities. Later, after being bullied by many large powers, in a fit of anger, Hai Wuqing gathered all the Loose Cultivators together, and over time, this formed the current Mo Tie Alliance!

The Mo Tie Alliance of today was no longer what it used to be. Being able to grow to this extent had far exceeded Hai Wuqing's expectations. Across the entire Xianhuan Continent, the Mo Tie Alliance could already be considered the largest force! However, Hai Wuqing had not forgotten his roots. In the alliance rules, he strictly pointed out that any cultivator of the Mo Tie Alliance must not bully Loose Cultivators without cause, and even more so, must not rely on their strength to make enemies of certain sects! If not for this, the Mo Tie Alliance would have long ago become a thorn in the side of the major sects on the Xianhuan Continent!

However, according to the rules of the Mo Tie Alliance, if anyone dared to bully them, they would absolutely not be soft-hearted. They would mobilize their entire force until the person who bullied them had vented their anger!

It was precisely such an organization that rose rapidly on the Xianhuan Continent. Even cultivators from the Great Underworld Mansion, when encountering cultivators from the Mo Tie Alliance, sometimes did not dare to be too presumptuous!

Zhang Nuo frowned tightly. Judging from the information he had gathered, if he wanted the Mo Tie Alliance to take action and help deal with the Great Underworld Mansion, he would likely need to expend more effort!

Walking and thinking, Zhang Nuo unknowingly arrived at the side of a teahouse! The fragrant aroma of tea made Zhang Nuo's spirit stir! Not expecting to find high-quality Spirit Tea here, and having nothing to do anyway, Zhang Nuo stepped inside! He would use the time spent drinking tea to think carefully about how to negotiate with Hai Wuqing!

There were not many people in the teahouse, so Zhang Nuo found a seat by the window, ordered a pot of high-quality Spirit Tea, and carefully savored the taste, while his thoughts turned and twisted, refusing to stop for even a moment!

Just as Zhang Nuo finished his second cup of tea, a woman's angry rebuke suddenly came from the back of the teahouse!

"Hall Master Shen! Please show some self-respect!"

Although this voice was full of anger, it was extremely pleasant to hear, like the sounds of heaven! It made the guests in the teahouse turn their heads!

Zhang Nuo put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly. He felt the voice was very familiar, yet he couldn't recall it for a moment!

"Fairy Ye! I, Shen, am the dignified Hall Master of the Green Dragon Hall of the Mo Tie Alliance; am I not worthy of you? Why do you refuse me in every way?"

A man's voice came out, equally slightly angry! Upon hearing the voice of the man surnamed Shen, most of the guests in the teahouse understood what was going on! Some even started to laugh secretly!

Zhang Nuo's heart gave a sudden jolt. The title "Fairy Ye," combined with the woman's voice from before, made him think of one person in an instant! Ye Yuemiao!

However, the Ye Family's influence was not small; how could Ye Yuemiao appear here? Guessing secretly in his heart, Zhang Nuo pricked up his ears to listen!

"Even if you are the Alliance Leader of the Mo Tie Alliance, if I am unwilling, I will absolutely not agree! Please, Hall Master Shen, suit yourself!"

It seemed the woman had issued an order to leave. After a moment of silence, a loud laugh suddenly came from the back of the teahouse!

"Good! Fairy Ye, you remember this! This teahouse is opened on my turf! Let's wait and see!"

Following the furious voice, a man of about forty years old walked out from the back of the teahouse. Zhang Nuo carefully sized the person up; he was broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, wearing a green robe, with a short beard on his face and leopard eyes, possessing a certain air of spirit! It seemed he was the Hall Master of the Green Dragon Hall of the Mo Tie Alliance!

Seeing his cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, he walked with an air of a hundred paces of prestige! Zhang Nuo knew at a glance that this person was a Body Cultivator! The murderous aura on his body was not deliberately exposed, but rather flowed out naturally because his body refining technique had reached a certain realm!

A figure flashed, and this Hall Master of the Green Dragon Hall disappeared onto the street! Then, a young and beautiful woman walked out from the back of the teahouse!

The woman looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in purple, her skin as smooth as mutton-fat jade, and a pair of lively eyes like stars in the sky. She could truly be described as having national beauty and heavenly fragrance, a beauty that could topple cities, with an immortal appearance and elegant demeanor! The slightly upturned corners of her mouth, even when angry, still carried a smile like a spring breeze.

Her petite and exquisite jade nose was even more otherworldly, and with the slight movement of her nostrils, it gave one the urge to smell her breath. As her vermilion lips and pearly teeth parted, immortal sounds flowed! Especially that pair of eyes, truly as lively as clear, rippling water!

As soon as Zhang Nuo saw the young girl, he immediately recognized her; it was indeed Ye Yuemiao! However, at this moment, there was a hint of sorrow on the girl's face, which made one feel pity!

"This Shen Yuanqiao is too outrageous! Does he think he can force a marriage just because he is the Hall Master of the Green Dragon Hall?"

At this time, a young waiter walked up to Ye Yuemiao, his face pale with anger, and said loudly.

"Forget it, don't pay attention to him! We spent Spirit Stones to buy this place from the Mo Tie Alliance; I don't believe he dares to drive us out! If that really happens, I will go find Alliance Leader Hai to reason with him!"

With a light wave of her hand, Ye Yuemiao signaled the waiter to go attend to the guests! Just at this moment, a figure passed through several tables like a breeze and arrived in front of the girl!

Her lively eyes blinked several times, and only then did Ye Yuemiao see the cultivator who had arrived before her. Her small mouth opened wide; she simply could not believe her eyes!

"Zhang..."

Just as she was about to speak, Zhang Nuo made a gesture of silence at his lips, and then smiled faintly:

"There are many people here, Fairy Ye, could you take me inside to talk?"

"Of course! Please, come in!"

Ye Yuemiao was so happy she could hardly close her mouth. Having been in Mo Tie City for decades, she had never seen an acquaintance. Now that she saw Zhang Nuo, the events of the past kept surfacing in her heart!

Walking to the back of the teahouse and into a room, Ye Yuemiao calmed her emotions and asked:

"Zhang Dao... ah no, it should be Senior Zhang, when did you arrive in Mo Tie City?"

She had wanted to address Zhang Nuo as a fellow Daoist, but from various rumors in the outside world, Ye Yuemiao knew that Zhang Nuo had already advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, so she immediately changed her address!

"Fairy, no need to be so formal! I only entered the city today!"

Scanning the room, it looked like the girl's boudoir! The layout inside was extremely cozy! Finding a chair to sit down, Zhang Nuo asked:

"Fairy Ye, why have you come here? Where has the Ye Family's immortal ancestor, fellow Daoist Ye Bufan, gone?"

Looking at Ye Yuemiao's cultivation, still trapped at the Golden Core Late Stage Great Perfection, Zhang Nuo's heart stirred. Based on the Ye Family's strength, after more than a hundred years, she should have had a breakthrough!

Hearing this, Ye Yuemiao gave a bitter smile and let out a long sigh! Zhang Nuo saw a great deal of sorrow and helplessness on her face in an instant! With a turn of his thoughts, he knew she had not had an easy time these years!

"The Ye Family's immortal ancestor has already fallen within the First Immortal Mountain! It was precisely because of the ancestor's fall that our Ye Family's influence on the Xianhuan Continent has declined year by year. In the end, several forces joined hands and divided up the mineral veins belonging to the Ye Family! Forced by helplessness, I had no choice but to disperse the Ye Family members back to the Zhou Country of the Tianyuan Continent, leaving myself alone here to seek a chance for a comeback in the future!"

Hearing the news of Ye Bufan's fall for the first time, Zhang Nuo was also shocked. He hadn't expected that so many cultivators had fallen in the First Immortal Mountain back then, and even someone with Ye Bufan's cultivation had not been able to escape the disaster. It seemed he was extremely lucky to have walked out of there alive!

"So that's how it is! These years have been hard on you, Fairy Ye! Why didn't you go to Yulong Immortal Mountain to find me? Perhaps I could have helped you!"

A hint of pity appeared in Zhang Nuo's eyes. This sentence was truly from the bottom of his heart; he and the Ye Family had some interactions back then, and their feelings for each other were not bad! If Ye Yuemiao had asked him for help, there would naturally be no reason to refuse!

"Back then, I heard that you, Senior, had also fallen in the First Immortal Mountain, so naturally, I never thought of seeking refuge at the Giant Spirit Pavilion!"

A pair of lively eyes revealed gratitude, and Ye Yuemiao said faintly.

"By the way! You, Senior, have been making waves on the Xianhuan Continent these years, especially recently, single-handedly slaughtering the Demon Emperor and breaking the Great Underworld Mansion's ten thousand disciples. It seems your divine abilities have already reached completion! You will be stepping into the Spirit Severing Stage soon, right?"

Feeling the waves of Spirit Power coming from Zhang Nuo, although Zhang Nuo had hidden a portion of it, judging from the various rumors in the outside world, the other party's cultivation should not be just this little!

"Fairy, you are joking! I am still a long way from the Spirit Severing Stage; it is just that I obtained some opportunities in the last few years!"

Feeling a bit embarrassed by what Ye Yuemiao said, Zhang Nuo shook his head and smiled bitterly!
