Chapter 926 - 746: Sudden Appearance

Two disputing women.

One was wearing a dark blue Daoist robe, but it couldn’t conceal her proud figure, with eyebrows like new moons, apricot-shaped eyes, peachy cheeks, and an expression of playful innocence.

The other wore a moon-white Daoist robe, with skin even paler than her robe, a striking cold white, her face exceptionally beautiful, her temperament cold and alluring.

It was precisely Bi Yaoyao and You Qingyi who hadn’t seen Lou Yi for a long time.

The reason for their dispute was that Bi Yaoyao wanted to leave the sect to find a treasure that could help in Foundation Establishment.

You Qingyi did not want her to go alone and insisted on accompanying her.

Bi Yaoyao’s cultivation was currently at the Peak of Qi Cultivation, only one step away from Foundation Establishment.

And You Qingyi was not far from the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. Once she breaks through to the mid-stage, her self-preservation ability will greatly increase.

"Qingyi, you really don’t need to come with me.

I have a talisman for Concealing Aura and many backup plans. Even if I encounter Foundation Establishment or a Demon General, I’m quite confident in escaping." Bi Yaoyao tried hard to convince her good friend.

However, You Qingyi said nothing, just stared at her with determined eyes.

Bi Yaoyao had no choice but to take her good friend You Qingyi along and head outside the sect.

Their target this time was a rare fish species in Yuan River, three hundred miles to the west, called the Golden Crown Fish.

This fish’s body was semi-transparent, only a bit larger than a palm, with a golden crown-like meat growth on its head.

The Golden Crown is a treasure that can aid cultivators in Foundation Establishment. Bi Yaoyao is currently stuck at a critical point and needs this item to help break through realms.

They soon arrived in front of a layer of light white barrier.

In their hearts, they both understood that after leaving this sect’s Dharma Realm, their safety depended solely on themselves.

"Wood Lou is not here; otherwise, we could go together as a trio." Bi Yaoyao couldn’t help but mutter.

As her voice fell, You Qingyi’s face darkened, and she immediately stopped speaking.

Both had some resentment in their hearts, as Lou Yi had been gone for so long without returning or sending any messages.

If they weren’t familiar with Lou Yi’s character, they would think he was afraid to return to the sect.

"Let’s go, conceal our aura, and try not to draw attention," said You Qingyi.

The two mounted high-grade Wind Spirit Horses and immediately passed through the sect’s Dharma Realm.

They did not notice that on a large tree several hundred feet outside the Dharma Realm, several black bees the size of fingernails, with numerous compound eyes, were intently watching them.

Upon noticing them moving further away, the bees buzzed their wings and flew along their trail.

Dozens of miles away, in an inconspicuous dense forest.

Suddenly, several sinister, hoarse voices were heard.

"Two female cultivators left the Dharma Realm, attack after they move a hundred miles away!"

"Wait a moment, didn’t the kid named Zhao say he wanted to cooperate? Let’s see some of his sincerity first."

Half an hour later.

’Thud thud thud!’

’Thud thud thud!’

"Whoa! Quickly evade!"

’Bang!’

Bi Yaoyao and You Qingyi deftly soared from their horses, surrounded by gentle breezes, landing a hundred meters away.

The high-grade Wind Spirit Horses they rode, each nearly a foot high, larger than ordinary horses,

were nonetheless crushed into a pool of blood and mud by a furry black giant paw that descended from the sky.

"Oh, you dodged quite quickly," remarked the owner of the giant paw, somewhat surprised.

It was a Black Tiger Demon bigger than a house, its tough fur standing upright like steel needles, its eyes like two red lanterns, with a foul-smelling drool dripping from its bloody mouth.

"Demon General," You Qingyi’s expression changed upon seeing the Tiger Demon.

She waved her hand and summoned her Lifebound Corpse, its skin was silver-colored, with numerous black stripes slithering across its surface, distinctly at the level of a Silver Corpse.

The Silver Corpse, like an arrow shot from a bow, rushed forward, clenching its fists, entangling with the Black Tiger Demon in a fierce fight.

The air was filled with the sound of ’bang bang bang’, trees snapped, dust flew, and stones splattered.

The Black Tiger Demon was actually forced backward by the Silver Corpse, falling into a disadvantageous position.

"Great!" Bi Yaoyao excitedly waved her fair little fist, "Beat this beast to death!"

But the next moment, her words came to an abrupt halt, and her expression turned bitter.

From the dense forest, five or six more enormous black shadows emerged consecutively.

There was a Giant Scorpion Demon, nearly as large as the Black Tiger Demon, with an armored shell, its silver scorpion tail stretching like a metal arch in the air;

There was a demon covered in spiky hairs like long spears, its head sharp and pointed, resembling a hedgehog magnified many times;

And also a fierce Eagle Demon with violent energy, its scarlet eyes filled with murderous intent, when its wings spread, its size surpassed that of the previous two.

Each black shadow’s aura was as powerful as the Tiger Demon’s!

Bi Yaoyao and You Qingyi’ hearts sank, their expressions turning grim.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was considerable, and that was bad enough.

The key issue was the presence of the Eagle Demon, which made their escape significantly harder.

"We have to kill this Bird Demon first!" You Qingyi transmitted to Bi Yaoyao, filled with killing intent.

The two took the initiative.

You Qingyi pointed forward, her massive Spiritual Essence stirring within, then fully surged out.

An enormous black hand, larger than a house, formed amidst swirling mist, and abruptly slammed down upon the Bird Demon!

The Foundation Establishment level Ghost Shoulder Slap is countless times more potent than Qi Cultivation.

As for Bi Yaoyao, a dazzling red light shot from her sleeve with a ’whoosh’, speeding towards the Bird Demon like a meteor.

Its speed was such that even a Demon General would find it difficult to react!

The Treasure Embryo Vermilion Flame, originally given to Bi Yaoyao by Lou Yi, had been refined to such a degree that it could be wielded as an extension of her own body, even potentially harming experts of the Second Realm.

On the scene, the other demons were caught off guard, not expecting the two women to strike so decisively despite being surrounded; they reacted too slowly to intercept the two attacks aimed at the Eagle Demon.

As long as the Eagle Demon was slain, Bi Yaoyao and the two women would have a significant chance to escape.

Seeing the Eagle Demon struck hard and pinned by the Ghost Shoulder Slap, the Treasure Embryo Vermilion Flame was about to hit its throat.

Unexpectedly, a small golden shield about a foot long silently blocked the Vermilion Flame.

The shield emitted a brilliant golden light, successfully intercepting the treasure embryo.

"What?!"

Bi Yaoyao and the two women were shocked and furious, turning to look in one direction, where a young man was leisurely stepping forward.

He wore a light yellow ornate robe, his hair tied with a white jade hairpin, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips.

Upon seeing Bi Yaoyao and You Qingyi, his eyes suddenly revealed a mix of ecstasy and lecherousness.

"Well, well, it turns out to be two beautiful fairies, it seems my luck is quite good."

"Someone from the Taiyi Sect?" Bi Yaoyao raged, "You actually collude with the Demon Clan in secret!"

"Collude? Fairy, you are mistaken. In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only absolute interests.

As long as it can be used by me, what does it matter if it’s the Human Race or the Demon Clan?"

"What do you intend?" Bi Yaoyao asked, secretly gathering strength, preparing to control the Vermilion Flame for a lethal strike.

"Why resist meaninglessly, fairies? If you injure yourselves, it won’t be good.

Why not obediently come with me, and I’ll take good care of you."

The yellow-robed man grew more excited as he looked at the two women, consumed by lust.

Even in the heart of the Central Continent, female cultivators like Bi Yaoyao and You Qingyi, with such beauty, were rare.

He decided he absolutely must capture the two women alive to thoroughly indulge in them.

Of course, after using them, he would heartlessly dispose of them like he had done with other women he had plundered before.

Just as the yellow-robed man was fantasizing, he was caught off guard by a red light cutting through the sky, dancing in a S-shaped curve, and viciously striking his heart!

On the other side, Bi Yaoyao spat out a mouthful of blood essence, her beautiful eyes tightly focused.

As for You Qingyi, she took her chance and struck, the air suddenly filled with hundreds and thousands of black-grey semi-transparent ’needles’.

Like pouring rain, they dashed at the yellow-robed man, no matter how he dodged, the needle rain seemed to drench him completely.

Seeing the yellow-robed man about to perish under the two women’s double attack.

There was no panic in his eyes, only a faint mocking smile at the corner of his lips.

"Chirp!"

The next moment, a fiery red firebird erupted from his body.

It effortlessly slapped the Vermilion Flame away with a claw, the terrifying heat waves emanating from its body melting the incoming needle rain completely.

The body of the magical firebird seemed almost real, its surface detailed with hair and feather textures, particularly its eyes possessing a spiritual energy akin to a live bird’s.

"Magic mastering, you are Perfect Dao Foundation!" Bi Yaoyao was shocked.

A Perfection of Dao Foundation cultivator, the entire Corpse-Driving Sect would likely not have many who could match.

"Quick, leave!" From beneath You Qingyi’s feet, a flying carpet emerged, ready to carry Bi Yaoyao away.

"Chirp!"

The firebird again flapped its wings, in front forming several air vortices visible to the naked eye.

The massive whirlwinds sent Bi Yaoyao and You Qingyi flying, crashing through several trees, and they landed on the ground, spilling blood incessantly.

"Why resist? Come with me, I’ll take good care of you." The yellow-robed man’s face glowed with lust, reveling in his triumph.

"We’d rather die than fall into the hands of a traitor like you!" Bi Yaoyao shouted angrily.

Upon hearing the term ’traitor’, the yellow-robed man’s face suddenly became sullen.

"I’ve changed my mind; no need to take you back, I’ll deal with you here."

A vicious smile crept across his lips as he prepared to act, when suddenly he heard footsteps behind.

He turned to look, seeing a grey-clad man striding towards him.

He appeared to be in his thirties, with ordinary features, no hair, beard, or eyebrows, except for a pair of eyes that left a deep impression, blood-red mingled with amber.

"Heh heh heh." The yellow-robed man sneered disdainfully, "Unless your sect leader’s Golden Corpse intervenes personally, coming here means delivering yourself for slaughter!"

"It’s... Wood Lou’s Lifebound Corpse! Don’t come, you must leave now!"

Bi Yaoyao grew anxious, urging loudly.

The strength of a Lifebound Corpse is closely tied to its host; in her opinion, Lou Yi had barely just broken into Foundation Establishment, how could a Lifebound Corpse be a match for a Perfect Dao Foundation practitioner?

Coming would serve no purpose, and if it were destroyed, Lou Yi himself would suffer a grievous wound difficult to heal.

She and You Qingyi were bound to escape, why drag a Lifebound Corpse down too?

"Quickly, leave." You Qingyi also advised.

Lou Yi’s Lifebound Corpse Lou Er, seemingly oblivious, continued to walk slowly towards the yellow-robed man.
