379: Qiongshuang was stopped

"What's the rush!" Dan Chenzi snorted irritably. "I have my own plans! Although this demonic source is poisonous, it has become a 'whetstone' to stimulate the Pill Fire within his body! Once his Physical Body's injuries stabilize, I will use my own Origin Pill Fire as a catalyst to cast the 'Nine-Turn Demon-Sealing Seal' to temporarily Seal and suppress this demonic source! As long as his cultivation improves and his Dao Heart remains firm, combined with the power of the Pill Fire, in time, he may well be able to refine it completely, turning disaster into an Opportunity!"

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. "This child carries great Opportunity and great fortune! This tribulation of the demonic source might just be the catalyst for him to break out of his cocoon and transform into a butterfly! However..."

Dan Chenzi's gaze was like lightning as it shot toward Li Cen again, carrying an unquestionable threat. "Li Cen! If Delong is left with even the slightest Dao injury because of this, affecting his future in the Dao of Alchemy, hmph! From this day forward, no one in your Heavenly Sword Peak will ever receive a single Medicinal Pill from me again! I mean what I say!"

Li Cen's mouth twitched, and he quickly cupped his hands. "Senior Brother, calm your anger! This Junior Brother knows he was wrong!"

He smiled bitterly in his heart; he had truly poked a hornet's nest this time.

However, as long as Yao Delong could be safe and sound, never mind having his supply of Medicinal Pills cut off, even if Dan Chenzi pointed at his nose and scolded him for three days and three nights, he would accept it.

Dan Chenzi snorted coldly and ignored Li Cen further. He carefully used a gentle force of Pill Yuan to lift Yao Delong, then turned and walked toward the healing quiet room deep within the Pill Cloud Peak hall, which was filled with the densest Spiritual Qi and covered in layers of Restrictions.

The hall doors slowly closed, leaving behind only the rich scent of medicine and Li Cen, who wore a look of lingering fear.

Li Cen stood in the empty hall, shaking his head with a bitter smile, preparing to leave Pill Cloud Peak to think about how to apologize to the Sect Head and how to appease that soon-to-erupt Junior Sister Leng...

At this moment, a streak of white light was speeding toward the Yin Yang Sect's mountain gate at an astonishing speed!

Outside the Yin Yang Sect's towering mountain gate.

"Whoosh—!"

A blinding white streak of light tore through the sky, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and crashed onto the huge plaza in front of the mountain gate like a falling star!

The powerful impact caused the ground to tremble slightly, and dust filled the air.

As the dust settled, it revealed the massive and graceful White Flood Dragon body of Qiong Shuang. Her snow-white scales shimmered in the sunlight, and the pressure of an eighth-rank Yao Beast was released without reservation, carrying the exhaustion of a long journey and deep anxiety.

"Roar! Big Brother! Wait for me!"

Qiong Shuang raised her head and let out a high-pitched Dragon roar, her huge Flood Dragon eyes looking anxiously toward the inside of the mountain gate.

"What Prodigy dares to trespass on the Yin Yang Sect's mountain gate!!"

The two Golden Core Disciples guarding the mountain were frightened pale by this sudden eighth-rank great Yao, but duty-bound, they immediately summoned their Magical Artifacts and shouted a stern question.

One of them reacted extremely quickly and instantly crushed a communication jade talisman in his hand!

"A powerful enemy is attacking the mountain! Suspected eighth-rank Yao Beast! Send reinforcements to the mountain gate immediately!"

The urgent message flew instantly toward the Law Enforcement Hall.

Nearby, some Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples who were preparing to enter or leave were also alarmed by this commotion. They stopped in their tracks, looking at the aggressive White Flood Dragon with suspicion. Many had already revealed their Magic Treasures, ready for battle, and the atmosphere instantly became tense!

Qiong Shuang saw this posture and became anxious. She didn't want to fight with the Yin Yang Sect; she was here to find her Big Brother!

"Misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding!"

Qiong Shuang quickly spoke in human language, her voice crisp and pleasant, carrying the urgency of a young girl. "I am not here to fight! I am here to find my Big Brother! My Big Brother is Yao Delong! Yao Delong! A Disciple of your Yin Yang Sect! You know him, right? He was just brought back by Peak Master Li!"

"Senior Brother Yao?" The two Golden Core Disciples were stunned and looked at each other.

They had indeed seen with their own eyes Peak Master Li bringing the heavily injured Senior Brother Yao into the mountain gate, but... this eighth-rank White Flood Dragon was Senior Brother Yao's... mount? Partner? This was a lot of information to take in!

"Senior Brother Yao's Yao Beast partner?"

The surrounding Disciples were also in an uproar, discussing it heatedly.

Yao Delong's reputation was currently at its peak in the Yin Yang Sect, but taming an eighth-rank White Flood Dragon as a mount? That was too exaggerated, right? Everyone's faces were full of suspicion, and they dared not believe it easily.

Seeing them hesitate, Qiong Shuang was so anxious she stomped her claws. "Really! I'm not lying to you! Big Brother is heavily injured, and I am his partner! Let me in quickly! Big Brother needs me!"

She paced around anxiously, but struggled because she had no token from Yao Delong to prove her identity.

Just then, the sound of things cutting through the air rang out one after another!

"What Yao creature dares to run wild at the Yin Yang Sect!" "Form the formation!"

A dozen figures sped out from within the mountain gate. Leading them was the Law Enforcement Hall's Elder Zhao, who had a powerful Aura and a cold expression, followed by more than ten elite Law Enforcement Hall Disciples.

They quickly spread out, forming a small battle formation, and sharp Killing Intent instantly locked onto Qiong Shuang! The light of Magic Treasures flickered, and it looked like they were about to attack!

Sensing the biting Killing Intent, Qiong Shuang's massive Flood Dragon body tightened slightly, and a flash of grievance and anger crossed her eyes. She just wanted to find her Big Brother, why was it so difficult?!

At the critical moment!

"Stop! Elder Zhao! Senior Brothers! Quickly stop!" A clear and anxious female voice came from outside the mountain gate.

A fiery red figure riding a Flying Sword descended rapidly; it was exactly Liu Rumei, who had just returned from a mission!

She recognized Qiong Shuang, who was surrounded in the middle, at a glance. Startled, she quickly rushed to the front of the formation and said urgently to Elder Zhao and the others, "Misunderstanding! Elder Zhao, Senior Brothers, this is a misunderstanding! This is Qiong Shuang, she is Senior Brother Yao Delong's Yao Beast partner! She is one of us!"

"Martial Niece Liu?" Elder Zhao frowned when he saw Liu Rumei.

Liu Rumei was a Disciple of Heavenly Sword Peak and had a close relationship with Yao Delong; her words carried significant weight.

"Senior Brother Yao's contracted partner?"

The Law Enforcement Hall Disciples were also stunned, and their gazes toward Qiong Shuang changed instantly. If she really was Senior Brother Yao's mount... then their actions just now...

Seeing them hesitate, Liu Rumei immediately emphasized her tone. "It is absolutely true! Elder Zhao, if you injure Senior Brother Yao's partner, when he asks about it, how will the Law Enforcement Hall explain?"

"Hiss—"

Elder Zhao and the Law Enforcement Hall Disciples gasped upon hearing this.

They knew full well Yao Delong's current status and potential in the Sect. If they really accidentally injured his partner, and he decided to protect his own... the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Ahem!"

The coldness on Elder Zhao's face instantly melted away like snow, replaced by an incredibly warm and even slightly fawning smile as he cupped his hands repeatedly toward Qiong Shuang. "Oh my! So it is Senior Qiong Shuang! Misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding! We were blind and failed to recognize a superior; we offended you, and we hope Senior will be magnanimous! Please be magnanimous!"

"Yes, yes! Senior Qiong Shuang's posture, these scales, they are simply carved from Nine Heavens Mysterious Jade, magnificent and extraordinary! One look and you can tell she is Senior Brother Yao's partner, her Aura is extraordinary!"

The other Law Enforcement Hall Disciples also quickly put away their weapons, their faces full of smiles, and flattery poured in like a tide; they wished they could praise Qiong Shuang until she was like a flower.

Qiong Shuang was a bit bewildered by this sudden enthusiasm and the speed of their face-changing. She tilted her massive Flood Dragon head, but she had no mind to dwell on these things now. She said urgently to Liu Rumei, "Miss Liu! Big Brother was ambushed by demonic cultivators and is heavily injured; he was brought back by Peak Master Li! I wasn't by Big Brother's side at the time, so I rushed back on my own! Quickly take me to see Big Brother!"
