Chapter 242: Delivered to the Door

Still burning, you wouldn't want to go to the Union Joy Sect to kill someone, would you?

Say it first, I can give you information, but I will definitely not bring you into the sect to kill anyone. Mo Yizhou stared intently at her eyes.

Over these years, they have kept in touch, and the pill for my Golden Core was also purchased with Jiang Yu's help.

What are you thinking? Is it that you can enter the closed-door cultivation abode in South Suk?

Or have I become reckless, rushing into the Union Joy Sect to seek death? Jiang Yu brewed him hot tea, and the aroma instantly wafted out.

Mo Yizhou took a strong sniff, "Top grade, your Grand Void Sect's spiritual tea is indeed the best quality."

After saying that, he used spiritual power to lower the water temperature and drank it all in one go, then impolitely poured himself another.

Jiang Yu took out a jar of spiritual tea, "This is for you."

"Oh, I'm blessed." Mo Yizhou didn't even look at the tea name, immediately storing it in his storage ring.

Jiang Tu sized him up and said, "As a Golden Core cultivator, your stipend has surely increased a lot; you wouldn't be short of spiritual tea to drink."

Mo Yizhou wore an expression of "you don't understand": "Who would complain about having too much of a good thing?"

"What matter could force South Suk to leave seclusion?" Jiang Yu had no patience to wait further.

Mo Yizhou pondered for a moment, "Jiang Yu, he has perfected Golden Core and is half a step into Nascent Soul; are you sure you want to fight him right after your own Golden Core breakthrough?"

"One, his lifespan is nearly exhausted; two, if he ever actually seizes another's body, I will never find him again." Most importantly, Jiang Yu was uncertain how long this trip to the East Continent would take before she could return.

Mo Yizhou said flatly, "Wipe out True Person South Suk's entire clan; his family currently has no Golden Core cultivator holding the fort."

Jiang Yu stared at him for a long time without shifting her gaze, making Mo Yizhou go from feeling it was natural to feeling inexplicably guilty.

"Demonic cultivators are also people; no matter how selfish, someone still cares for their family."

"Otherwise, True Person South Suk's family would have long been annexed."

Jiang Tu glared at him angrily, "Are you trying to use a knife to kill someone, so you can get the South family's possessions?"

"Or have you gained someone else's favor and come to harm Jiang Yu? Demonic cultivators really have nothing good."

Mo Yizhou repeatedly denied, "No, no, no, don't slander me. Jiang Yu, I don't want to harm you."

"This method works; when his family is exterminated, someone will surely beg for help urgently, which will force him out of seclusion. Moreover, once you wear a disguise mask, no one will know it was you."

"Of course, as a Dao Sect disciple, you might feel it implicates the innocent, but the South family isn't good either, they..."

Jiang Yu raised her hand to interrupt him, expressionless, saying, "How they relate to me is none of my business. Besides this method, is there no other way?"

"I can't think of another method."

"Unless you can have our sect leader order him to leave seclusion." Mo Yizhou didn't consider exterminating a clan a big deal; this is common in the Demonic Sect, and even the Dao Sect has plenty of such cases.

"You kill my family, I exterminate yours; in the cultivation world, that's nothing remarkable."

"What if I send a Life-and-Death Arena Challenge to South Suk?"

"Would your sect leader order to forcibly detain his seclusion?" Jiang Yu would not do the extermination; that would be cutting herself off from the Dao Sect.

"But issuing a Life-and-Death Challenge is a method; in the cultivation world, various arena battles often occur, some are matches, some settle grudges by force."

"Among them, the Life-and-Death Challenge is an agreement between Dao and Demonic sides; as long as one side issues it, the recipient must accept."

"Of course, this challenge is only valid during peaceful periods when there is no war between the two sides, aiming for personal grudges to be settled individually, so as not to implicate the sects and cause a full-scale war that the high-level leaders are unprepared for."

"Because in the past, there have been several instances where personal grudges inexplicably triggered a Dao-Demonic war."

"This, you really mean it? Jiang Yu, don't act on impulse."

"If you usually fight him, you can run if you can't win, and there will be another chance next time."

"But once a Life-and-Death Challenge is issued, unless someone dies on the arena, the arena's seal will not release the participants."

"You've only just reached early Golden Core; at least wait until we advance to mid Golden Core before challenging." Mo Yizhou hurriedly poured himself tea to calm his shock.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, "Let's find a place to have a fight."

"Huh?" Mo Yizhou was a bit slow to react.

"It's just to have you as a sparring partner, will you go or not?" At this moment, Jiang Tu suddenly switched to mental transmission: "Ideally, you could defeat Jiang Yu, letting her calm down."

Before, it agreed with Jiang Yu going door-to-door to take revenge, because it could join in fighting the opponent.

But once on the Life-and-Death Arena, spirit beasts are not allowed to participate.

After Jiang Yu stabilized her cultivation at Golden Core, she had only sparred within the sect with Lin Yuan and Gu Bingwen twice, and had not seen much real combat.

"Come on, I'll risk my life to accompany a gentleman." Mo Yizhou wasn't one to haggle; after a brief consideration, he agreed with Jiang Tu.

However, unexpectedly, as soon as their group left Five Directions City, they were being tailed.

Jiang Tu was delighted, sending mental transmission to both: "Now someone has come right to our door to give Jiang Yu practice."

"Huh, they wouldn't be the ones you summoned to set an ambush, would they?"

Mo Yizhou gave Jiang Tu a white-eye look: "Am I really that untrustworthy?"

"Do you recognize any of those demonic cultivators?" Jiang Yu's divine sense also detected the followers; from the fluctuation of their magical power, they were all from the Demonic Path.

Mo Yizhou actually knew: "It seems to be the newly famous Peach Mountain Five Fiends, three men and two women, with two at mid Golden Core and three at early Golden Core."

"A few hundred li ahead is a river beach, the view is broad, not fearing the mantis catching the cicada, with the oriole behind; is that okay?"

"Okay." Jiang Yu had just agreed when she heard Jiang Tu's mental transmission: "During the fight, don't let Mr. Mo be behind you."

"Thank you, Ao Youlong Dragon King." Jiang Yu couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, lightly stroking its back.

Soon after, the group arrived at the river beach; the five people tailing them also realized they were exposed and simply revealed themselves.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoists."

"Rather than inviting you formally, it's better to meet by chance; we'd like to invite you two as guests."

"Hahaha, Second Sister, why bother being polite with them?"

The five people, moving at extreme speed, surrounded Jiang Yu and the other, and their positions happened to form a Five Elements Locking Gate Formation.

But they didn't expect that, as soon as Jiang Yu and Mo Yizhou turned around, sword qi slashed out, and they didn't even bother to talk to them.

And Jiang Tu merely stood on Jiang Yu's shoulder, with no intention to act.

Jiang Yu's sword was extremely fast, fire-element spiritual power clung to the blade, with no superfluous moves—just a single forward thrust.

It was precisely a cultivator standing at the water's edge; the opponent's long spear swept across to intercept, instantly clashing with her sword light.

At the same time, the two other cultivators nearby also launched their natal magic weapons—a blade and an axe—flying swiftly at Jiang Yu.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu's posture was strange; she not only dodged the two's magic weapons, but with a point of her sword formula, her natal sword suddenly blazed with fire, spun wildly in the air—clang clang clang—successively repelling the blade, axe, and spear.

The three early Golden Core cultivators were shocked; upon glancing, they saw the elder brother and second sister already driving the male cultivator into a dead end, so they ruthlessly increased their output, again controlling their magic weapons to attack.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yu sent a voice transmission to Jiang Tu, urging him to help Mo Yizhou; her natal sword did not continue to block the three, but instead, as she leapt into the air, she cleaved the delicate female cultivator on the right.

The female cultivator, startled, moved unconsciously, and the five-person lock-gate formation they had formed instantly showed a breach.

She also failed to dodge Jiang Yu, for she hadn't even seen how Jiang Yu appeared behind her; a sword pierced her back.

"Fourth sister! Demoness, go die!" the male cultivator on the left, seeing this, flew into a rage and flung a sword-qi talisman straight at Jiang Yu.
