Chapter 75

After resting and recuperating for two days in the small town where they had taken refuge, Meng Xiaoyue’s condition had slightly improved. Considering their safety, Ye Zhen decided to take Meng Xiaoyue back to the sect.

Before Meng Xiaoyue reached Qiyun Sect and before the evil deeds of Lishui Sect were made public, Lishui Sect could still intercept and kill Meng Xiaoyue and Ye Zhen to silence them.

Before returning to the sect, Ye Zhen absolutely dared not let his guard down.

However, after a long journey, Ye Zhen was very worried about Meng Xiaoyue’s health. This stubborn girl’s face was already as pale as paper.

"Xiaoyue, can you hold on?" After riding horses at a gallop for most of the day, Ye Zhen asked.

Meng Xiaoyue bit her pale lips and weakly nodded, which made Ye Zhen frown. "We should dismount and rest for a while. I’ll transfer some true essence to you again."

Hearing that Ye Zhen was going to do this again, a blush appeared on Meng Xiaoyue’s pale face.

Because she had no cultivation, when Ye Zhen transferred true essence to strengthen her body, he had to do it through various parts of her body, each time sending in a very small and fine amount of true essence. This inevitably involved some intimate contact. Over the past two days, Ye Zhen had already transferred true essence to Meng Xiaoyue several times.

Whist!

Just as Ye Zhen was about to help Meng Xiaoyue dismount, a rapid whistling sound came from above. The moment Ye Zhen looked up, he saw a streak of colorful light heading straight for him.

"Pursuers?"

His expression turned serious, and his true essence immediately surged. Almost simultaneously, a somewhat familiar voice reached Ye Zhen’s ears, "Ye Zhen, don’t be afraid, it’s me!"

In the next instant, a girl in a colorful dress stood gracefully in front of Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue.

"Immortal Fairy Caiyi, it’s you? Why are you here?" Ye Zhen was surprised.

"Fortunately, I finally found you." Immortal Fairy Caiyi put her hand on her chest, relieved. "Sister Liao sent me. She said that since Lishui Sect has come to the sect to demand an explanation, you must have escaped from Lishui Sect’s territory. She asked me to come and meet you."

Ye Zhen felt relieved and his heart warmed. This Liao Feibai, the instructor, had truly treated him well.

"Lishui Sect came to the sect to demand an explanation. What did the sect say?" This was what Ye Zhen was most concerned about.

"Don’t worry. With Sister Liao’s intervention, the elder of Lishui Sect immediately agreed to revoke your wanted order." After a pause, Immortal Fairy Caiyi added, "However, this matter must eventually be resolved."

"This little girl is very pretty. You must be Xiaoyue, right?" Caiyi turned to Meng Xiaoyue and said.

Meng Xiaoyue looked at Caiyi warily. "Who said I’m little? I’m... almost fifteen years old." After saying this, she pulled Ye Zhen’s arm even tighter.

Immortal Fairy Caiyi chuckled a few times, not minding. "We should hurry back to the sect."

As she spoke, Immortal Fairy Caiyi took one of each of their hands, and a surge of spiritual light enveloped them as they flew into the sky.

Indeed, the speed of flying in the sky was incredible. Unlike traveling on land, which involved many detours, a straight-line distance of two hundred miles would take at least three to four hundred miles with detours.

The flying speed was several times faster than riding horses. A journey that would have taken more than three days on horseback was completed in just one night, even though Immortal Fairy Caiyi’s speed was greatly reduced by carrying two people.

When Immortal Fairy Caiyi brought Ye Zhen back to the sect, the high-ranking officials of Qiyun Sect, who had already received the news, were waiting for Ye Zhen.

Of course, Ye Zhen’s status was not high enough for the sect’s leader and the elders to personally greet him at the gate. They were all waiting in the main hall on Qitian Peak to question Ye Zhen.

This incident had a significant impact.

Meng Chuan was a disciple of Qiyun Sect and a hero of the world, always a source of pride for Qiyun Sect. The person rumored to have harmed him was also a disciple of Qiyun Sect. If this matter was not clarified and was exploited by Qiyun Sect’s rivals, it could cause serious trouble for the sect.

Immortal Fairy Caiyi directly brought Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue to the entrance of the main hall on Qitian Peak, where several Qiyun Sect disciples were waiting.

One of them, Ye Zhen recognized, was Fan Chuyu, a true disciple of Lingjian Peak.

From the moment Immortal Fairy Caiyi and Ye Zhen appeared in the sky and landed, Fan Chuyu had been staring at Ye Zhen with a hostile gaze.

After landing, Fan Chuyu approached, "Caiyi, if you need help with such a difficult task, just let me know. Why did you come yourself? Look, you’re so tired that your face is pale."

At the end, seeing that Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue were still holding onto Immortal Fairy Caiyi’s arm, maintaining the posture from their flight, Fan Chuyu’s face darkened, and he coldly shouted at Meng Xiaoyue, "Let go!"

Actually, seeing Ye Zhen still holding Immortal Fairy Caiyi’s arm, Fan Chuyu was a bit jealous. He had been pursuing Immortal Fairy Caiyi for a long time but had never had such intimate contact. However, he was afraid that directly scolding Ye Zhen would make Immortal Fairy Caiyi think he was petty, so he scolded Meng Xiaoyue instead.

This shout immediately made Meng Xiaoyue hide behind Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen was furious.

"What are you shouting for? You scared her!" Ye Zhen shouted at Fan Chuyu.

Fan Chuyu’s face turned ugly at Ye Zhen’s shout. "Ye Zhen, what are you shouting for? It’s just a little girl. I can scold her if I want. What’s it to you..."

"She is the daughter of Meng Chuan, the great hero." Ye Zhen said coldly.

"Uh..." Fan Chuyu’s words were stuck in his throat.

Immortal Fairy Caiyi, who was exhausted from the night’s flight, stared at Fan Chuyu with a cold gaze, making him nervous and unsure where to put his hands.

"Ye Zhen’s anger can lead to bloodshed over thousands of miles. You..." Immortal Fairy Caiyi stared at Fan Chuyu with a cold, indifferent gaze, shook her head, and then turned away.

During the night, Immortal Fairy Caiyi had learned the general details of the situation.

Fan Chuyu immediately became anxious, glared at Ye Zhen, and said, "Caiyi, I’m just concerned for you. Look how tired you are. You must have exhausted your spiritual energy. Take this Spirit Dew Pill."

Faced with Fan Chuyu’s concern, Immortal Fairy Caiyi didn’t even want to say a word, just shaking her head. Seeing this, Fan Chuyu’s gaze towards Ye Zhen became even colder.

Finding it uninteresting, Fan Chuyu impatiently gestured to an inner sect disciple guarding the entrance to the main hall, "Yue Chengzu, come and take these two to the main hall to see the sect leader."

Originally, this was Fan Chuyu’s responsibility, but with Immortal Fairy Caiyi present, he immediately changed his mind, wanting to stay and create an opportunity to be alone with her.

"Yes, Senior Brother Fan!"

The moment the inner sect disciple named Yue Chengzu responded, Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue’s expressions changed, especially Ye Zhen, who seemed to have heard the name of an enemy.

"Xiaoyue, is this the person?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.

Meng Xiaoyue bit her lip and nodded lightly. Ye Zhen’s expression turned serious, and he suddenly shouted at Yue Chengzu, "Are you Yue Chengzu? Have you been the one completing the sect’s task of delivering the settlement silver to Meng Chuan’s home in Yinshan County every year for the past six years?"

Hearing this, Yue Chengzu’s eyes flickered, and his face changed dramatically when he saw Meng Xiaoyue.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen crouched and then leaped, delivering a powerful Thunder Leopard Fist.

"I’ll beat you to death, you scoundrel!" Ye Zhen roared.

Bang!

Caught off guard, Yue Chengzu only managed to instinctively avoid the vital points and was hit by Ye Zhen’s Thunder Leopard Fist. However, Yue Chengzu was formidable and only tumbled a few times after being hit.

"What are you doing?" Yue Chengzu roared.

"What am I doing? I’m beating you!"

"You scoundrel, don’t you know what you’ve done?" As he roared, Ye Zhen followed up with another attack, using the Spirit Snake Pulse Sealing Technique to quickly dislocate Yue Chengzu’s arm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of Ye Zhen’s punches hitting Yue Chengzu echoed continuously. Despite his Fourth Rank True Essence cultivation, Yue Chengzu endured Ye Zhen’s attacks.

It wasn’t that Yue Chengzu didn’t want to counterattack; he just didn’t have the chance.

Each of Ye Zhen’s punches contained terrifying power, forcing him to activate all his true essence to maintain his Middle Rank Human-grade protective aura, the Crimson Jade True Aura.

What shocked Yue Chengzu was that even with his Middle Rank Human-grade protective aura, each of Ye Zhen’s punches still caused ripples in his Crimson Jade True Aura, almost dispersing it, leaving him completely defenseless.

Damn, is this Ye Zhen still an outer sect disciple?

With one arm dislocated and his guilty conscience exposed, Yue Chengzu barely managed to survive Ye Zhen’s relentless attacks.

On the side, Fan Chuyu was initially stunned, then he roared, "Ye Zhen, are you crazy? How dare you attack a fellow disciple? Stop it now!"

Ye Zhen ignored him, his attacks becoming even more fierce, as if he truly wanted to kill Yue Chengzu.

"Looking for death!"

Fan Chuyu’s eyes flashed with a fierce light. He had been looking for an opportunity to teach Ye Zhen a lesson. Roaring, Fan Chuyu fiercely attacked!
