Chapter 54: This Might Not Be a Kidnapping

"I still have to make you take risks for me, what a mess this has become."

Jiang Xun was also stunned for a moment looking at Hua Bairui's smile, and until Hua Bairui turned her head away, Jiang Xun could only laugh in spite of himself.

"It's only right." Hua Bairui shook her head: "I am sending you to the back mountain of Yuhua Peak, where there is a cliff. Once the Mountain Protection Array is opened, Master will discover it immediately, so you must not hesitate; run as fast as you can."

"Are you really not coming with me?"

Jiang Xun asked, unwilling to give up.

Hua Bairui shook her head firmly.

Senior, oh Senior.

How could you possibly outrun Master, who is at the Transformation Deity Peak Stage?

I have to cover your retreat.

Wuwu...

I don't even know if Master will beat me to death!

Hua Bairui thought to herself.

The two flew at full speed, and in less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, they arrived at the edge of the cliff.

But before Hua Bairui could open the Mountain Protection Array, her whole body trembled.

Jiang Xun was also very helpless.

Both of them saw Yin Ningyu standing there at the edge of the cliff, dressed in green.

This green garment was very thin, only a single layer, perfectly highlighting Yin Ningyu's curvaceous figure.

It looked like her nightgown.

"Bairui..."

Watching the two land, with Hua Bairui in a tense, ready-to-fight stance, a flash of sadness crossed Yin Ningyu's eyes.

"Are you going to betray your Master for his sake?"

The moment the prison door opened, Yin Ningyu already knew Jiang Xun had escaped.

This was the place closest to the Mountain Protection Array, so she waited here while instructing everyone to guard every exit.

"Master, why must you force us so relentlessly!"

Hua Bairui shouted at Yin Ningyu, but she quietly moved a few steps to shield Jiang Xun behind her.

At the same time, she sent a voice transmission: "I will hold off Master in a moment; you take my Token to open the Mountain Protection Array and leave. The Dharma Formula is..."

"Hua Bairui!"

Yin Ningyu cut off Hua Bairui's voice transmission with a sharp shout.

The gap in strength between the three was too great; face-to-face voice transmission could not be hidden from her.

Hearing that Hua Bairui was going to fight her and even tell Jiang Xun the Dharma Formula for the Mountain Protection Array, she was truly angry.

After interrupting Hua Bairui, Yin Ningyu attacked directly.

Two massive vines from either side smashed down toward Hua Bairui and Jiang Xun; judging by the momentum, getting hit by one would be agonizing!

Just as Hua Bairui was about to strike, Jiang Xun grabbed Hua Bairui's waist and leaped backward, summoning the Liu Hong Sword in his hand to slash out.

Two streaks of flame directly severed the vines, and the flames continued to burn unabated.

The back mountain of Yuhua Peak, already filled with flowers and plants, caught fire instantly.

The entire back mountain lit up.

Seeing the fire growing larger, Yin Ningyu pinched a Dharma Formula with both hands, and water appeared out of thin air, extinguishing all the flames.

But the disciples of the Baihua Sect also rushed toward the scene of the fire one after another.

"Ning Yu, this is the Purgatory Fire Bead."

Jiang Xun pulled out the Purgatory Fire Bead with a backhand motion: "The flames of the Purgatory Fire Bead will continue to spread; they will never stop until they have burned everything in the user's heart."

Seeing this, Yin Ningyu stopped her spellcasting.

"Let us both go, otherwise don't blame me for remembering old feelings; I don't want to hurt you."

Hearing Jiang Xun affectionately call Master "Ning Yu" and hearing him speak of "old feelings," Hua Bairui's head buzzed.

No wonder Master was so angry!

She was competing with her own Master for a man!

It's over, it's over, it's all over!!!

"Leave her behind."

Yin Ningyu did not think Jiang Xun was lying; after all, there was no need to, so she just pointed at Hua Bairui with a cold face.

She cursed Jiang Xun a thousand times in her heart.

I kindly saved you, and what are you doing?

You don't want to become young again?

You don't want to return to your peak?

You don't want to join forces with me to control the Lingerie-Sect and have the two sects be at peace from now on?

Five hundred years have passed, do you really have no feelings for me at all anymore?

Heh, men...

【Ding, Yin Ningyu's favorability: 70】

【Return multiplier: 700】

At the same time, Jiang Xun's system sound came through; Yin Ningyu's favorability had dropped.

"No, she has to come with me." Jiang Xun could not care about those things now, and he hugged Hua Bairui's small waist even tighter.

"Senior..." Feeling herself being held tightly by the waist, Hua Bairui's face turned red; she had never been held like this by a man before.

But she still had to say: "Senior, I am not leaving, you just go."

"Look at how angry she is; you definitely won't have a good time. Come with me, rest assured, I won't do anything to you, I can take an oath."

Jiang Xun looked at Hua Bairui; the two were face to face, the distance less than five centimeters.

These eyes made Hua Bairui's face flush until it seemed it would drip blood.

It made Yin Ningyu's anger surge, and she gritted her teeth: "You two, are you showing off your affection in front of me?"

"Sect Master!"

"Sect Master, are you alright!"

Several disciples landed beside Yin Ningyu, and seeing Yin Ningyu wearing very little, they hurriedly took out clothes to drape over Yin Ningyu.

"Senior Sister Hua?"

More disciples arrived one after another, and seeing Hua Bairui in Jiang Xun's arms, they were all stunned.

"Lecher! Release Senior Sister Hua!"

A female disciple pointed at Jiang Xun and shouted.

"Senior Sister Hua, don't be afraid, we will save you!"

"Quickly release Senior Sister Hua! Otherwise, I will make you pay dearly!"

The female disciples of the Baihua Sect arrived one after another, and seeing this scene, they all pointed at Jiang Xun and cursed.

They all believed that Jiang Xun had kidnapped Hua Bairui and wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

"Bairui, Martial Aunt is here to save you, don't be afraid." A woman in red flew over from not far away, landed in front of Jiang Xun, and looked at Hua Bairui to comfort her.

But she suddenly discovered that something didn't seem right...

The man in front of her was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Yet Hua Bairui was at the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage Peak.

Being captured by him? Not very likely.

And looking at the situation...

This man was holding Hua Bairui's waist, and Hua Bairui had no intention of resisting at all; her face was even flushed.

This Martial Aunt was somewhat surprised and turned her head to look at Yin Ningyu.

Then she turned her head back to look at the man.

Her gaze narrowed: "Jiang Xun?"

"Long time no see, Fairy Chen." Jiang Xun nodded and smiled.

This girl was Yin Ningyu's junior sister, one of the current Elders of the Baihua Sect, Chen Ning.

"You bastard! You've become like this, yet you still come to the Baihua Sect? Could it be that the Lingerie-Sect doesn't want you anymore, and you've come to ask Senior Sister to take you in?"

Once Chen Ning heard Jiang Xun admit his identity, she immediately shouted.

This might not be a kidnapping...

"Chen Ning, shut up, move aside."

Yin Ningyu said coldly from behind Chen Ning.

She was afraid that Chen Ning would say something more; after all, there were so many people watching.

Chen Ning seemed to realize this too, and after glaring fiercely at Jiang Xun, she walked to Yin Ningyu's side.

"Hand over the person, get lost."

Yin Ningyu then looked at Jiang Xun and said.

"Not handing her over. Either you move aside, or I will activate the Purgatory Fire Bead and burn your Baihua Sect to the ground."

Jiang Xun did not back down; today, no matter what, he had to take Hua Bairui away.

As he spoke, in order to intimidate everyone, the Purgatory Fire Bead in Jiang Xun's hand glowed, and a black flame flew toward a large tree nearby; the entire tree instantly ignited with black flames.

Disciples who knew Water-style Cultivation Methods hurriedly tried to extinguish the fire, but it was completely useless.

The entire tree was burned to ashes at an extremely fast speed, and the black flames dissipated after the tree turned to ash.

"Move aside!"

Jiang Xun shouted sternly.
