247. Chapter 247: Isn't it just a woman? If you want her, then this Venerable will just snatch her for you.

Upon hearing Yi Zhuyue's words, Shi Zhengxiong's face turned terrifyingly pale, his whole body trembling, and his previous arrogance vanished completely.

He knew that everything Yi Zhuyue said was true.

Many years ago, the Qingyun Alliance was also just a minor, insignificant sect.

It was all thanks to the then-Alliance Leader of the Qingyun Alliance, who had once accidentally encountered Yi Zhuyue several hundred thousand years ago.

This fairy's cultivation was truly unfathomable, and it was said she was not from the Eastern Profound Continent.

She came to the Eastern Profound Continent specifically to cultivate a force of her own, to handle matters for the master behind her.

At that time, the then-Alliance Leader of the Qingyun Alliance knew his opportunity had arrived.

After all, the beautiful and powerful woman before him was definitely no ordinary person.

It was also after he decided to become Yi Zhuyue's subordinate that she gave him several Talent Secret Manuals; relying on those, that Alliance Leader quickly raised his strength to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

As for Yi Zhuyue, it seemed that because she had come to the Eastern Profound Continent, her strength was suppressed, yet she was still at the Half-step Great Emperor realm, which could almost be considered the peak combat power of the entire Eastern Profound Continent.

However, restricted by the Heavenly Dao Laws, many techniques could not be used, and she could not appear for too long, otherwise, she would be repelled by the Tianxuan Continent.

"Fairy, you may not know, if it were only because of that little matter just now, this old man would not force you, but he has been to the Ancient Tomb!"

Shi Zhengxiong wore a mournful face, hurriedly finding excuses for himself.

"What!? You idiot!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhuyue's expression changed instantly. The liaisons she conducted under her master's commission were all secret; if others discovered them, it might alert the enemy and affect her master's plans.

"Such an important matter, why did you only tell this Venerable at the very end!"

Yi Zhuyue looked at the idiot before her and felt a sudden sense of frustration; why had she chosen such an idiot as a subordinate back then?

"Fairy, spare my life! Fairy, spare my life!"

Shi Zhengxiong had already suffered enough trauma today; first being insulted by Su Chen, then being reprimanded by Yi Zhuyue, he already felt his life was hopeless.

Although Yi Zhuyue was angry in her heart, the connection between her master and the Tianxuan Continent mostly came from the Qingyun Alliance, so she could not dispose of him at will.

Yi Zhuyue still understood the principle of giving a slap and then a sweet date.

"Forget it, isn't it just a woman? If you want her, then this Venerable will just snatch her for you."

Yi Zhuyue said slowly.

The conversation between the two did not avoid others in the slightest; Su Chen and Lv Luo stared intently at every move of the two above the firmament.

"That woman is definitely not from the Tianxuan Continent."

Seeing this, Lv Luo's watery eyes were filled with worry.

Having been by Su Chen's side for so long, this was the first time she felt such terrifying pressure; she could clearly feel the gap in strength between herself and that woman.

Once that woman harbored murderous intent toward them, it would be very difficult for them to survive today.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes, carefully observing every move of the two.

"It seems that what the Qingyun Alliance is secretly contacting is the person behind this woman."

Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said decisively.

"She should be from the Immortal World, only she forcibly came to the Tianxuan Continent and, restricted by the Heavenly Dao Laws, was forced to suppress her cultivation realm to the Half-step Great Emperor realm."

Lv Luo said with a trembling voice.

Although on the surface they did not seem to differ much, the higher the realm, the more even a slight difference was like a chasm.

Since that was the case, it meant this woman definitely knew something; if she could be captured, it would likely be of great help.

Thinking of this, Su Chen looked at Lv Luo and couldn't help but ask: "If you and I join forces, what are the odds of capturing her alive?" Lv Luo never expected her master to trust her so much; she revealed a smile uglier than crying and said with a trembling voice: "Master, I don't think we have that possibility."

The smile on Su Chen's face stiffened, and he knew he was really pushing Lv Luo too hard.

"Whether we can escape here alive is a problem in itself."

After Lv Luo finished speaking, she felt a wave of depression in her heart, blaming herself for being useless, otherwise there wouldn't be so many unexpected situations, "It's all Lv Luo's fault, if only Lv Luo were stronger."

"This is not your fault."

Su Chen smiled and patted Lv Luo's head, saying: "You have already helped me many times, no need to blame yourself."

Suddenly, the two felt a sharp gaze.

They saw Yi Zhuyue looking at them both with cold eyes, as if looking at dead people.

Not good!

Yi Zhuyue clearly had murderous intent toward them! Although Yi Zhuyue was currently only at the Half-step Great Emperor realm, her true strength was stronger than a Half-step Great Emperor.

Just by being watched, they could feel terrifying power surging.

Lv Luo was covered in cold sweat, her eyes full of unease, her lips bitten pale.

Almost in an instant, Yi Zhuyue had already appeared in front of Lv Luo.

Lv Luo subconsciously released Spiritual Power to try to escape, but it was directly dispersed by a wave of Yi Zhuyue's hand; in her spare time, she released a bolt of Spiritual Power that slammed into her body.

Lv Luo could not dodge in time, stumbled to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Yi Zhuyue sneered and said: "A mere Tree Spirit, daring to show off in front of this Venerable."

She reached out her fair hand, intending to grab Lv Luo and leave.

At the critical moment, an old woman suddenly blocked Lv Luo's path, forcing Yi Zhuyue back several steps.

It took Yi Zhuyue a long time to stand steady, a brief stagnation appearing between her brows.

The old woman in front of her looked unremarkable, yet she actually made her smell a trace of danger.

This was the Tianxuan Continent, where she was an existence that could walk sideways, yet she actually felt danger.

And when Lv Luo saw the figure blocking in front of her, she couldn't help but say: "Senior, you have come?"

The Nine-Nether Sparrow nodded slightly, her gaze resting briefly on Su Chen's face, as if saying something, but she quickly withdrew her gaze.

Yi Zhuyue feigned composure, as if what just happened was merely a small interlude.

"Move aside. I do not wish to see blood today. With your strength, if I wanted to kill you, it would be effortless."

Yi Zhuyue said coldly, her noble and beautiful face showing a look of annoyance.

The Nine Nether Underworld Sparrow did not speak, raising a hand to release a bolt of Spiritual Power.

Yi Zhuyue dodged immediately.

She could feel the thick aura of death within the Nine Nether Underworld Sparrow's attack.

Interesting, it is getting more and more interesting.

I never imagined there would actually be someone on the Tianxuan Continent capable of trading a few blows with me.

She could not help but curl her lips, a look of interest flashing across her face.

However, conceited as she was, she did not believe this monster before her could defeat her.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhuyue said softly: "I will give you one last chance. If you still refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then do not blame me for showing no mercy." (End of chapter)
