603: Sword pellet given to a beautiful woman

Look over there, those huge martial arts arenas, Artifact Refining workshops, Alchemy pavilions, Talisman halls... lively, aren't they?"

Yao Delong, while admiring the magnificent scenery of the Moyang Sect, quietly listened to Li Linger's introduction, flashes of thought crossing his eyes from time to time.

The layout here was indeed vastly different from the Yin Yang Sect; the core was more centralized, but that also meant that if something happened to the main peaks, the impact would be even more fatal.

Suddenly, his heart stirred.

That Sword Pill gifted by the Myriad Sword Valley earlier...

He communicated with his Sea of Consciousness, and a sharp, peerless silver-white sword light, as if it could pierce through the Void Realm, suddenly appeared!

The sword light converged in his palm, transforming into a silver bead the size of a dragon's eye, perfectly round, its surface covered with mysterious sword patterns, and emitting a low, continuous hum!

It was precisely that high-grade heavenly artifact Sword Pill, forged with all the strength of the Myriad Sword Valley and containing endless sharpness!

After being nurtured day and night by Yao Delong with his Nirvana Sword Intent and Heart Sword Power for over half a year, this Sword Pill had long since been reborn!

The destructive power contained within was enough to easily strangle an ordinary Void Refining Early Stage powerhouse!

Even when facing a Void Refinement Mid-stage, it could unleash a heaven-shaking strike to block its edge!

Yao Delong gently handed the Sword Pill, which still made people's hearts jump even after its aura was restrained, to Li Linger.

"Linger, I came in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare properly.

I heard you just achieved a Nascent Soul Breakthrough, so let this Sword Pill be a congratulatory gift, and also... an item for self-protection."

Yao Delong's tone was gentle, but his eyes held an unrefusable firmness.

Looking at the silver bead floating before her eyes and feeling the restrained yet extremely terrifying Sword Intent, Li Linger's small mouth opened slightly, her pretty face full of astonishment!

She came from a top Sect and had a very high level of discernment, recognizing the origin of this Sword Pill at a glance!

"This is... the high-grade heavenly artifact Sword Pill that the Myriad Sword Valley gifted at your ceremony last time?!"

She looked at Yao Delong in shock, "Brother Yao! This is too precious! I cannot accept it!"

She waved her hands repeatedly, her tone urgent, "I heard that the Nine Nether Sect has issued a Blood Pursuit Order for you, with an astonishing bounty!

You need it more than Linger does! You should keep it to protect yourself!"

Seeing that Li Linger's first reaction when faced with such a precious treasure was only concern for his own safety, a warm current surged in Yao Delong's heart, accompanied by a trace of heartache.

He reached out and dotingly rubbed her soft hair.

"Silly girl," his voice was low and gentle, "Have you forgotten Senior You Yuan who appeared just now?

Do you think an artifact spirit capable of condensing such intelligence... could have a main body that is merely a Heaven-Grade Weapon?"

A flash of powerful confidence crossed his eyes, "Your Brother Yao now has a better trump card! But you..."

Yao Delong's expression became serious: "The entire Eastern Region knows you are my fiancée!

The Nine Nether Sect might still fear the Moyang Sect by three points and not dare to act overtly.

But the Heavenly Demon Sect... that group of lunatics without any bottom line!

I have already ruined their plans many times. They cannot do anything to me, but it is hard to guarantee they won't turn their targets to you, or use you to deal with me!

Linger, your safety is what worries me the most!"

At the mention of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Li Linger's delicate body trembled slightly.

She recalled the recent tense atmosphere within the Sect and the grave expression of her Revered Master, the Sect Head.

She had also heard of the deep enmity between Yao Delong and the demon Sects.

Looking at the lingering worry and protective intent in Yao Delong's eyes, and thinking of the various incredible strengths and foundations Yao Delong had displayed, Li Linger finally stopped refusing.

She extended her fair little hand and carefully took the heavy, cool Sword Pill that emitted Sword Qi.

Upon touching the Sword Pill, a feeling of sharpness, as if it could sever everything, instantly resonated weakly with her spiritual power!

She knew that as long as she refined it a little, this Sword Pill would become her strongest trump card for self-protection!

She gripped the Sword Pill tightly, lifted her little face, her eyes shining with emotion, determination, and a hint of stubbornness:

"Brother Yao... thank you! Linger understands! Linger will accept this Sword Pill!

Linger will definitely work hard to Cultivate and will never become a burden to you, Brother Yao! Linger wants to fight side by side with you!"

Watching the resilience erupting from this delicate body before him, Yao Delong felt both gratified and pitying.

"Good, I believe in Linger."

Yao Delong nodded with a smile, then his tone shifted, carrying a hint of gravity, "Actually, besides seeing you, there is one serious matter I came for this time."

His gaze swept over the Nine Suns Terrace and the three main peaks below, his voice lowering a few notches:

"I have received news that there may be hidden agents of the demon Sects among the upper echelons of the Moyang Sect!

You must remember not to leave the Sect's territory easily recently, especially do not go out alone.

The demon Sects... seem to be brewing a major move, and the target is very likely these top immortal Sects in the Eastern Region!"

Upon hearing this, Li Linger's pretty face also became serious, and she nodded heavily:

"Mm! Brother Yao, I understand! Actually... Revered Master, the Sect Head, has also been suspicious for a long time!

He has secretly investigated several times, but unfortunately, he has not found any concrete evidence..."

She bit her lip and whispered, "Revered Master even... suspected several Hall Revered Masters..."

"Hall Revered Master level?" Yao Delong's eyes narrowed slightly, a chill flashing past.

This coincided with his previous guess.

"The infiltration of the demon Sects is pervasive and impossible to guard against.

The Peak Revered Master of the Spirit Plant Peak of my Yin Yang Sect, a dignified Void Refining powerhouse, hid for hundreds of years.

If he hadn't been desperate and interfered when my Revered Master was Undergoing Tribulation, I fear no one would know his identity even now!"

Thinking of that dangerous incident at the Yin Yang Sect, Li Linger felt a lingering fear and believed Yao Delong's words even more firmly.

"Alright," seeing the worry appearing on Linger's face, Yao Delong smiled, temporarily casting those gloomy thoughts aside,

"These troublesome matters will be handled by us men.

Linger, it is rare for your Brother Yao to visit, so we cannot just keep talking about these heavy topics.

Next, shouldn't you take me to taste the most famous specialty food of your Moyang Sect?"

Li Linger was also infected by Yao Delong's smile, revealing a bright smile again, and nodded vigorously:

"Mm! Brother Yao, come with me! I know where the most delicious 'Fire Spirit Pastry' on the 'Nine Suns Terrace' is! I guarantee it will make you swallow your tongue!"

The cyan Flying Boat drew a beautiful trajectory in the magnificent scroll of the Moyang Sect, flying towards the depths of the lively Nine Suns Terrace.

Sunlight spilled onto the two, who were walking hand in hand, bringing warmth.

The warm sun shone on the bustling market of the Nine Suns Terrace, and the air was filled with the fragrance of various spiritual foods and the unique scent of Spiritual Materials.

Like a happy lark, Li Linger pulled Yao Delong's hand and wove through the crowd, her small mouth chattering non-stop:

"Look, Brother Yao! That is the 'Cold Jade Cake' made from 'Millennium Ice Heart Lotus', cool when it enters the mouth, with a sweet aftertaste!"

"And over there! 'Explosive Flame Meat Skewers' grilled with 'Blazing Rhinoceros' meat, fragrant and pungent, and eating it can briefly increase fire-type spiritual power affinity!"

"Look, look! The 'Hundred Flowers Spiritual Brew' from 'Hundred Fragrance Pavilion'! It adds hundreds of kinds of spiritual flower nectar, and it is said that even Aunt Mo loves to drink it!"
