Chapter 99

Yu Yao glared at him, staring for a long time before countering, "Do you mean you can help me take revenge?"

"Who are your enemies?"

Yu Yao's lips twitched, and she feigned calmness, counting on her fingers, "Not many, just two. One is Xu Lingguan, and the other is Chu Tianyou." Her fingers were long and fair, her nails beautifully shaped and as smooth as jade.

Wei Shizhi deliberated seriously for a long time and said, "These two people are backed by the Taiyi Sect. Seeking revenge on them is like trying to bring down the Taiyi Sect. It's difficult, but not impossible."

"Boastful!"

Wei Shizhi looked at her face and slowed his speech, "Do you know the greatest weakness of the Taiyi Sect? Chu Tianyou vigorously promoted the circulation of fish-eye stones, establishing 'Si Chan' and 'Zhi Ku.' However, he didn't consider that when the scale of transactions reaches a certain level, fish-eye stones are no longer suitable as currency. At that point, some form of * will inevitably emerge..."

Yu Yao was tired of such conversations. She didn't understand, she was exhausted, and she didn't want anyone to know her background. She hated being tested, hated the faint possibility, and hated being persuaded. She interrupted, "Show me something tangible. If it works, it works; if not, forget it. Don't try to talk me into it with empty words."

Wei Shizhi gained a direct understanding of her character. He fell silent for a moment, then stood up, patted his buttocks, and said, "You look strong, but you're actually not confident. You fear complexity, fear weighing the pros and cons, and fear making decisions. You're like the Heavenly Net Vine, which must rely on trees to grow. Forget it, let it be!"

These words pierced her heart deeply. Yu Yao didn't refute or dismiss them. She buried her head in her knees, feeling the weight on her shoulders grow heavier, making it hard to breathe.

Suddenly, a deafening sound of a landslide came from the direction of the Sea of Decaying Leaves. Thunder struck from the heavens, and the light of the Big Dipper constellation shone brilliantly. Yu Yao heard the roar of the earth dragon, a roar that couldn't hide the inner fear and despair.

Yu Yao's mouth felt bitter, her heart floating in mid-air, neither up nor down. So quickly, everything was about to end. Soon, they would set off on their return journey, first to Zhenhai Pass to meet with Xu Lixin, the youngest, then eastward, with Deng Yuantong leading the Xian Du disciples back to Immortal Cloud Peak, and Song Yun carrying Yao Jiang's remains, returning to Flowing Stone Peak with Yu Yao.

After all the avoidance, there was still no escape. Could her master protect her this time?

She hoped for some change that would allow her to escape her past and start a new life. But in the end, nothing happened. She still had to return to her humiliating past, filled with hatred, despair, oppression,委屈, frustration, anxiety, and confusion, all overwhelming her, suffocating her.

She might as well die! If she died, no one would force her anymore, and she would gain eternal peace!

From the distant northern grasslands, the faint sound of galloping hooves could be heard, approaching like a storm. Wei Shizhi stood on a hill, looking far into the distance, seeing a vast sea of black-armored cavalry surging towards Zhenhai Pass.

"It's the Tietou cavalry attacking Zhenhai Pass!"

Yu Yao stood up, gazing at the Tietou cavalry covering the mountains and fields, her eyes shining like bright stars in the night sky, growing brighter. Wei Shizhi sensed her impulsiveness and couldn't help but grab her arm, "What... are you going to do?"

Through her clothes, his touch felt slippery and warm, as if boneless.

Yu Yao snorted coldly, her arm slipping out of his grasp like a fish, and she slapped him across the face, the sound crisp and loud.

Wei Shizhi touched his cheek, "What are you going to do?"

"If you're afraid, stay far away."

Looking at her cold face, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. Wei Shizhi blurted out, "What are you running from?"

This question was like a thunderclap in her ears. Yu Yao's face turned pale, and she swayed, her voice shrill, "What do you know?"

"I know nothing. Tell me, and I'll help you!"

Yu Yao couldn't hold back the surging emotions any longer. Two clear tears fell to the ground, "You help me? To get the Howling Moon Technique from me?"

"If you're willing, I don't need the Howling Moon Technique." The Tietou cavalry was getting closer, and the scouts' arrows rained down. In an instant, Wei Shizhi felt an intense desire. He couldn't help but lean close to Yu Yao's ear and whisper, "I want you!"

He raised his hand to block the arrows, the earth qi surging out, catching the Tietou arrows in an invisible hand, layer upon layer, each one suspended in the air.

Yu Yao struck him hard under his ribs with her elbow, then mounted the gilded phoenix scythe, transforming into a red light, darting over the hills and grasslands, swift as wind and fire, plunging into the Tietou cavalry.

Her strikes were heavy, clearly out of anger and embarrassment. Wei Shizhi rubbed his ribs, loosened his grip, and the arrows in the air fell to the ground.

The Tietou scouts couldn't stop Yu Yao and surrounded Wei Shizhi from all sides. The leader, holding a long spear, shouted and swept at Wei Shizhi's waist, intending to capture him alive.

Wei Shizhi casually grabbed the spear, lifted the scout high, and with a push, the spear handle pierced through his leather armor into his chest, emerging from his back. The scout screamed, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, still gripping the spear with both hands, refusing to let go.

With the leader killed, the other scouts united in their hatred, charging forward on horseback with their swords. Wei Shizhi swung the spear, knocking them down one by one like whacking moles, none escaping, horse and rider alike.

The spear, soaked in blood and brain matter, was slippery and hard to hold.
