Chapter 370: 368, Crazy Old Lady
"It really is desolate here." The speaker was a young woman, who, at least from her appearance, seemed barely in her early twenties. With delicate brows and almond eyes, ruby lips and white teeth, she might not be as beautiful as a fairy, but she definitely had her unique charm.
She stood on a white, long-necked bird, hovering over Cangwu City, peering through the thin mist below. "I really can’t understand why my sister wanted to marry someone from a place like this. She gets into trouble and leaves me to clean up the mess. Really, I’ve never seen a sister like this. Other people’s sisters make sure their younger sisters enjoy life, but mine treats me like a workhorse."
"Sigh, I really don’t know what to do, I have to stay here for a year." The more she looked at Cangwu City, the more it bothered her.
Being stuck here was like having the wings of a bird wanting to fly abruptly torn off. There was an endless world waiting for her to explore out there... but now, she had to clean up after her sister and stay here for a year.
As she focused her gaze downward again, she immediately detected a not insignificant aura.
A cultivator at the Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression.
"Hmm?" In such a small town, the presence of someone at the Mountain Suppression Realm seemed a bit too unreal.
Even in Heaven and Earth Lake, there weren’t that many of them.
And each one was a formidable figure who suppressed their own region. She didn’t know exactly how many Mountain Suppression Realm cultivators Heaven and Earth Lake had, but she was aware of how rare they were there.
Yet now, to have a Mountain Suppression Realm nearing the Immortal Sect truly was suspicious.
Could it be that her sister had left some treasure for her son, and it was discovered?
Following the simple description she had heard from her older sister, she descended towards Yunlan Mountain and spotted Wenping standing at the foot of the mountain. "This guardian youth is really clueless, standing there like nothing is happening while a Mountain Suppression Realm is approaching."
"Whatever, since I promised my sister to stay here for a year, I’ll just casually save this kid, treat it as a token of my intent." Casually killing a Mountain Suppression Realm cultivator would certainly make the Immortal Sect revere her as an ancestor.
Stay for a year and then leave, she only hoped this year would be peaceful, hoping she wouldn’t have to do anything, using just her realm to protect the Immortal Sect and her sister’s unfortunate son.
...
As the Mountain Suppression Realm expert drew nearer, Wenping wasted no time and had the system pull up the opponent’s basic information.
"Yang Bi, Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression, from Dragon God Sect..." he silently mused, an expression of displeasure appearing on Wenping’s face. Just as he expected, the Dragon God Sect’s intentions were not friendly.
Offering a high price of 2000 White Crystals to buy a Two-Star Vortex Map, and not even the first that had historical significance. There weren’t many idiots like this; the stronger someone was, the less likely they were to be this foolish.
At a Four-star Sect, who among the upper echelon hadn’t lived for a century or two? How could they be so impatient to immediately demand a Vortex Map? Buying at an auction, even if delayed by a few days, could save hundreds of White Crystals, but they hadn’t considered this good deal at all.
Too many White Crystals, couldn’t handle it?
No, there was another purpose.
"Fortunately, I just robbed 900 White Crystals, plus what I earned these past few days, totaling 1200 White Crystals. Sending you three shots doesn’t hurt... if you manage not to die, I won’t summon the Flood Dragon." Wenping had already called out to the system in his mind.
Above Churao Mountain, the flying ship was slowly rising from the ground.
If not for the limit of three shots at a time, he had planned to send six shots to this Mountain Suppression Realm thief.
Just then, a white light suddenly descended from the sky, crashing mightily into the dense forest outside Yunlan Mountain. The center of the crash, naturally, was the sneaky Yang Bi.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Wenping was stunned.
"What’s going on?"
Wenping hadn’t even processed what had happened, and immediately stopped the flying ship from continuing its ascent, but the Explosive Flame Star Chasing Cannon that emerged from the deck was always on standby, ready to protect him.
As the shock wave dissipated, the images in the forest finally cleared up.
It was a woman standing there, with a white long-necked bird by her side, and beneath her feet was Yang Bi, the Mountain Suppression Realm cultivator. In the sunlight, she was imposing like a Sun Goddess.
"Who!"
Yang Bi immediately got angry, reaching with one hand towards the woman’s foot pressing on his back.
"Still trying to move?"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The sound of three Meridian Gates opening came in quick succession, and the red Meridian Gates instantly wilted the surrounding trees. The woman sneered, "Doing sneaky bad things and still daring to move?"
Just at the Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression, she hadn’t even considered him worth her attention.
With the opening of the Meridian Gates, Yang Bi’s expression changed immediately, his hand stopping abruptly, "Senior, I’m not sure how I offended you?"
Yang Bi didn’t dare to open his Meridian Gates, because the result would be the same whether he did or not. The gap in power between the two was too great; on this battlefield of one-sided slaughter due to disparity in power, he didn’t dare do anything.
"You don’t need to know, you only need to know you’ll be dead soon." With a wave of her hand, the woman flung out over a dozen red needles, densely aimed at Yang Bi.
"No!"
Yang Bi immediately tried to open his Meridian Gates, to activate the Mountain-Suppressing Armor, but it was already too late by then.
The red needles pierced his body, instantly rendering him unable to breathe. Within minutes, he could only exhale without inhaling. A once-powerful figure at Mountain Suppression, he was now beyond saving,
To his last breath, Yang Bi hadn’t thought he would die like this.
The Meridian Gates weren’t opened.
The Vein Technique wasn’t activated.
"So fragile," the woman extended her hand again, drawing out a red glow from his body. It transformed into fine needles that she collected. Glancing at Wenping, she said, "Kid, your life is saved."
Then, she laughed out loud.
"He was scared silly... it seems he’s never even seen these three Meridian Gates." Poor little child, stuck in Cangwu City as a frog at the bottom of a well, unaware of how vast the outside world is.
"Kid, tell your Sect Leader... this is a Mountain Suppression Realm expert, which is higher than the Profound Realm, even beyond that level." Fearing the young man in front of her wouldn’t understand, she explained again.
"Where’s your Sect Leader?"
"Let him come to welcome me... I just happen to want a place to cultivate, and your Immortal Sect is not bad, so I intend to join your sect. I’ll tell you, once I join your Sect Leader, no one will bully you anymore. The entire East Lake... you will be the biggest." She figured it better not to exaggerate.
Exaggerating, this kid wouldn’t understand.
"My Realm isn’t high either, just the Mountain Suppression Realm."
"Kid, what are you staring at?"
Looking at the woman in front of him, Wenping was speechless for a moment, and then had the system take the flying ship back.
"Where did this crazy woman come from?" Wenping mumbled to himself and changed direction, heading towards the Immortal Sect.
What a pity.
She’s beautiful, but crazy.
Otherwise, she could find a good family to marry into.
The woman’s eyebrows twitched, and she then shouted angrily at Wenping, "Kid, I saved your life, it’s fine if you don’t thank me, but when I ask you to call your Sect Leader to welcome me into your sect, where are you going?"
