Chapter 73: Recruiting Disciples

The sky was slightly bright.

The moonlight was like snow.

The woman walked on the snow, her figure vanishing in an instant, as if teleporting; her speed already exceeded that of flying on a Flying Sword.

One hundred zhang away was the main administrative hall of Luoxia Mountain, and with a single step, she was already standing on the roof of the hall.

She was none other than the Yanyu Tower Gold Medal Assassin, Taxue.

Seeing Taxue's speed was so fast, Yan Xiao's heart tightened, praying she would not slaughter the innocent.

The three of them were already accelerating at full speed, yet there was still a significant gap between them and Taxue; this was the suppression of cultivation realms.

Taxue looked around, her brows slightly furrowed; she had not expected Luoxia Mountain to be even worse than Cangyun Mountain, with few people and low cultivation realms, not even having a single person worth mentioning.

"Where is Luosang?"

Taxue stomped her foot on the roof, and the hall immediately collapsed, waking everyone up in an instant.

"Who goes there? How dare you destroy the main administrative hall of my Luoxia Mountain! You have a lot of nerve."

Wang Dazhu was the first to jump out, pointing at Taxue and cursing loudly.

His rear had been hurting all night, he couldn't sleep, and his temper was short; seeing someone actually dare to come and cause trouble, he started cursing without even thinking.

After he finished cursing, he felt that things were looking bad; this woman was murderous and had explicitly stated she was looking for Luosang, so her strength and cultivation must be extraordinary.

"Yanyu Tower, Taxue."

Taxue looked at him with cold eyes, the long sword in her hand already unsheathed.

"Wait! I am not Luosang. Elder Luosang went to Luoyue City to drink flower wine. Did he owe you wine money? Tell me the amount and I will pay it back for him."

Wang Dazhu's wits sharpened in the emergency, and he hurriedly interrupted the woman's movement to continue drawing her sword.

"You are very nervous. You are lying."

Taxue sneered, completely unmoved, and thrust her sword out, aiming straight for Wang Dazhu's head.

"Spare him!"

The three Elders, Luo Cang, Luo Hai, and Luo Tian, flew over, wanting to save Wang Dazhu, but how could their speed compare to Taxue's?

Before the words had faded, her sword tip had already grazed Wang Dazhu's skin; the next moment, Wang Dazhu would be decapitated.

"Master!"

The moment Taxue drew her sword, Wang Dazhu wailed to the heavens, pinning his hopes on his omnipotent Master.

"I'm here."

At the critical moment, Yan Xiao released the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, firing an arrow at Taxue's Flying Sword; this arrow cost him 3,000 Fear Value.

"Master, you finally came."

Wang Dazhu was scared out of his wits, snot and tears covering his face.

"Get aside, what kind of look is that, crying and sniveling?"

Yan Xiao kicked Wang Dazhu, who was trying to throw himself into his arms, flying away.

Three thousand Fear Value!

"You are Luosang?"

Taxue looked at the golden bow in Yan Xiao's hand with some surprise; if that strike just now hadn't been to save Wang Dazhu, but had been aimed at her vital parts, she might have been injured by it.

This made her feel danger. Fear Value +99.

"This seat is Yan Xiao, Sect Master of Luoxia Mountain. Fairy Taxue, could you please retract your Flying Sword first? Why don't we sit down and talk properly, no need to damage our harmony."

Yan Xiao retracted the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and said with a chuckle.

"Hand over the Seal of the Sect Master of Luoxia Mountain and submit to Yanyu Tower, otherwise... die!"

Taxue said coldly.

As she spoke, the solid killing intent she had been holding back was deliberately released; everyone felt a chill, as if needles were pricking their backs.

"Damn it, so killing intent is this awesome. If I had this kind of killing intent, I wouldn't have to worry about not having Fear Value."

Yan Xiao was a bit jealous of her aura.

"Fairy Taxue, to tell you the truth, if I wanted to keep you here, it would be nothing more than exposing one of my trump cards. I am speaking to you calmly now only because I don't want to create extra complications."

Yan Xiao sat on a chair, looking at Taxue with the gaze of a superior, his eyes full of confidence.

"Relying on the three of you? Then you are going to be disappointed."

Taxue looked at Feng Wanqing and Luosang, shaking her head as she spoke; what she was actually most wary of was the strange, large bow in Yan Xiao's hand.

"Ting Yu was killed by me with one arrow, and Zhuifeng was frozen by me. It would be easy for me to kill you. I haven't made a move yet because I am considering the fact that there have been no casualties among my sect disciples; otherwise, you would already be dead."

Yan Xiao said sternly. At this moment, he used the aura of a Demon King, and the large Sunglasses on his face added an even greater sense of mystery, converging into an invisible pressure that bore down on Taxue.

In truth, he was afraid that fighting here would harm the innocent. Even if it didn't hurt the sect disciples, once a fight started, the buildings of Luoxia Mountain would inevitably be damaged, and wouldn't it cost money to rebuild them?

Hadn't he seen how the roofs of other sects had been leveled?

"Want to try?"

Taxue became calm instead. She was a veteran of a hundred battles; although she rarely faced enemies head-on, the combative nature in her bones was completely ignited by Yan Xiao, and she actually had the thought that she wouldn't be satisfied without a fight.

"Damn, what a crazy woman..."

Try my foot. Doesn't fighting cost money? Why would I just fight you so casually?

Yan Xiao rolled his eyes, feeling a bit annoyed.

It seemed there was no hope for winning by wit; he had to use force to intimidate her.

"How about we make a bet?"

Yan Xiao took out the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and slowly stood up, injecting 10,000 Fear Value. Since he had to make a move, he had to give her a head-on blow to make her feel fear.

With 10,000 Fear Value injected, the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow erupted with a terrifying aura, the bow body emitting a dazzling light, as brilliant as the stars, sun, and moon.

"Bet on what?"

Taxue's psychological defenses were thoroughly shattered by the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, Fear Value +99.

Could she really withstand this arrow?

The answer was no; if she withstood it, she would still be severely injured and have no power left to fight back, and if she could not withstand it, she would die on the spot.

"This is currently three tenths of my strength; if you can withstand it and not die, stay and be my servant."

Yan Xiao said indifferently, though in his heart he was hurting terribly; having spent another 10,000 Fear Value, he had suffered a massive loss today.

"Three tenths of his strength—looking at his relaxed and easy appearance, it doesn't seem fake; no wonder he could kill Tingyu in one blow."

Taxue thought in horror.

In fact, everyone present was intimidated by Yan Xiao, including Feng Wanqing and Luosang.

They had not expected Yan Xiao to have such a trump card.

"Wahahaha... My Master is the reincarnation of an Ancient God, with countless magical treasures and divine abilities; did you think an Ancient God was a joke?"

Wang Dazhu wiped the bloodstains from his neck and said with a loud laugh.

"Senior Brother, didn't you say last time that Master was the reincarnation of an Ancient Sword Immortal? How did he become a God again?"

Ma Jianyang asked in confusion.

"Isn't it the same? Anyway, Master is the best in the world, and I am the best Chief Disciple in the world."

Wang Dazhu said boastfully.

Everyone knew he was bragging, but deep down they still vaguely believed what he said; otherwise, how could Yan Xiao's monstrous combat power be explained?

"Everyone, retreat one hundred meters away," Yan Xiao shouted.

Whoosh!

Just at this moment, taking advantage of the gap while he was speaking, Taxue suddenly launched an attack.

Her body darted left and right, attempting to dodge Yan Xiao's attack.

But.

In front of a cheater, no matter how picturesque your movement technique is, it cannot compare to me using hacks to control the recoil.

Yan Xiao drew the bow and fired the arrow in one fluid motion; just as Taxue was about to swing her sword to strike, the powerful energy gathered from 10,000 Fear Value pierced her abdomen, blasting her a hundred meters away.

Retracting the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and wiping his Sunglasses, Yan Xiao then slowly walked in front of Taxue and said indifferently, "You lost!"
