197: Chapter 197 Girl, you're quite pretty!

The shredded hem of her skirt fell slowly to the cold ground like falling blossoms, only to be scattered into the chilly night by the cold wind!

Fairy Jiyue suddenly opened her tightly closed, beautiful eyes!

Fairy Jiyue's pearl-like, ink-black pupils transformed into immortal-white Moon Pupils at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The moonlight over the southern region of the Taixu Realm began to focus and gather in a bizarre manner, shining directly onto Fairy Jiyue like a spotlight!

The moonlight on Fairy Jiyue's body intensified, emitting an immortal-white halo as she bloomed beneath the ink-black starry sky like a Cold Moon Fairy!

"I admit, you are very strong!

You are the first Cultivator to force me into my full Moon Immortal State!

But you still must die!

Before you die, tell me your name. This Fairy wants to know the name of the man who took my first time!"

The Shushan Wine Immortal, Dust-Forgetting Master, shuddered, and his intoxication was halved by the shock. This was mainly because the girl before him was too Heaven-Defying; she could actually communicate with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and harness the moonlight of the entire starry sky for her own use, instantly increasing her strength dozens of times over!

Dust-Forgetting Master had a very bad premonition. His back instantly went cold, and cold sweat broke out in an instant!

Dust-Forgetting Master hoisted his large wine gourd,

"Gulp, gulp..."

In one breath, he drained all the remaining wine!

Dust-Forgetting Master became completely drunk, and the faint character for 'Immortal' appeared between his brows!

As the saying goes, wine gives a coward courage. Under the numbing effect of the alcohol, Dust-Forgetting Master completely let himself go!

"Heh heh heh... Girl, you're quite pretty!

Remember this: I am Shushan's Dust-Forgetting Master, known in the Jianghu as the Shushan Wine Immortal!"

"Lecher!... Die!"

Fairy Jiyue flicked her wrist, producing an immortal-white sword flower and leaving behind an afterimage of immortal-white moonlight in the Void Realm. With a face full of shame and rage, she slashed toward Shushan's Dust-Forgetting Master!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

The beautiful, immortal-white silhouette and the drunken figure of the white-robed Cultivator intertwined. The crisp sound of clashing metal echoed continuously in the Void Realm as sparks flew in all directions!

Fairy Jiyue and Dust-Forgetting Master instantly engaged in battle again, and for a moment, they were evenly matched!

In the void three thousand li north of the Taixu Realm, an old eunuch dressed in a capable manner with a head full of white hair and wearing a python robe hovered in the air!

That's right!

This old eunuch was none other than Azure Eagle!

Azure Eagle was staring toward the southern region of the Taixu Realm, his expression shifting repeatedly as cold sweat dripped from his forehead, "Drip! Drip!" onto his white python robe!

The reason Azure Eagle's expression was so grim was simple: on the southern battlefield of the Taixu Realm, the situation was completely one-sided, and the six major Sects were about to be slaughtered to the last man by the Taixu Realm Cultivators!

Actually, the Mandala Sect and the Danqing Sect were fine, as they were the Sects of his rival, Daoist Shen Gui.

The fact that Ghost Doctor Daoist, the Old Ancestor of the Mandala Sect, and Ancestor Dan Yunzi of the Danqing Sect had fallen one after another was exactly what he wanted!

Daoist Shen Gui was already a dying man and had a poor relationship with the current Emperor, so he couldn't cause much of a stir. Azure Eagle wasn't worried about him!

The Sword Spirit Sect was also insignificant. After all, it was a Sect established by an outcast of the Sword Spirit Clan. To be honest, no one in the Central Province Imperial Family cared whether it lived or died.

Moreover, the Sect Ancestor of Jianling Sect, Luo Liyue, had already been rescued by her father. The remaining Cultivators of the Sword Spirit Sect were like ants; if they died, they died. No one would care or ask questions.

But the remaining three major Sects were different!

The Cold Moon Sect was the Sect of the Grand Elder of the Central Province Imperial Family, and Fairy Jiyue was the Grand Elder's favorite Personal Disciple!

If Fairy Jiyue were to perish in the southern region of the Taixu Realm, given the Grand Elder's temperament, it wouldn't be impossible for him to kill Azure Eagle with a single palm strike!

The Roaring Tiger Sect and the Coiling Snake Sect were the Sects of the Third Elder of the Central Province Imperial Family. Tiger Roaring Heaven and Snake Charming Lady were the Third Elder's closed-door disciples and the apples of his eye.

If Tiger Roaring Heaven and Snake Charming Lady truly died in the southern region of the Taixu Realm, then his grudge with the Third Elder would be settled for good!

The Third Elder would definitely resort to underhanded tactics and report him to the Emperor, having him executed on the charge of "falsely proclaiming an imperial decree"!

Azure Eagle never expected things to develop this way. He truly couldn't understand; even if the three Sects—Jimi Temple, Lingxu Academy, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect—were being slippery and hadn't charged into the Taixu Realm, how could the battle turn out like this given the formidable strength of the other six Sects?

Azure Eagle was an extremely cautious person who would never let himself fall into a death trap. He wouldn't act even if there was the slightest bit of risk!

But now it seemed he had no way out. If he still didn't act and any one of Tiger Roaring Heaven, Snake Charming Lady, or Fairy Jiyue were to fall,

He would surely die!

Azure Eagle was like a fledgling eagle standing on the edge of a cliff, about to begin the first flight of his life, which might also be his last. Either he would succeed, or he would die!

Fate seemed to have left him no other options; there was only this one path!

The corners of Azure Eagle's mouth twitched violently, and his teeth ground together audibly!

After a long while, Azure Eagle finally moved!

Azure Eagle's hands rapidly formed Seals, and a white, palm-sized immortal talisman slowly flew out from between his brows!

The immortal talisman emitted an immortal-white halo, and the blood-red character for 'Seal' was written clearly upon it!

Suddenly!

Pure spiritual power abruptly exploded from Azure Eagle's body, soaring into the sky!

The soaring Spiritual Qi forcefully shattered the clouds obscuring the moonlight! The moonlight pierced through the clouds and fell upon Azure Eagle, creating a faint moon-white halo around him!

Azure Eagle's cultivation soared—Early Stage of Tribulation Transcendence Period, Middle Stage of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, Late Stage of the Tribulation Crossing Stage!

It only stopped once it reached the Great Perfection of the Peak Tribulation Crossing Stage!

That's right!

The palm-sized immortal talisman was the Spirit-Sealing Immortal Talisman, an immortal rank Seal!

The Spirit-Sealing Immortal Talisman could forcibly Seal a Cultivator's cultivation!

Azure Eagle's cultivation had actually reached the Great Perfection of the Peak Tribulation Crossing Stage long ago,

But he had always been using the Spirit-Sealing Immortal Talisman to forcibly suppress it.

Azure Eagle understood the principle that the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

The reason Azure Eagle dared to challenge the State Preceptor, Daoist Shen Gui, was also because his own cultivation had long since reached the Great Perfection of the Peak Tribulation Crossing Stage.

Azure Eagle's robes fluttered, and his white python robe snapped in the wind like a battle flag!

Suddenly!

Azure Eagle vanished on the spot!

In the void above Shushan in the Taixu Realm, a handsome figure in his twenties hovered.

The handsome man was dressed in a white robe, his long black hair dancing in the wind, and the three large characters for 'Seven Saints' were written in blood on his back.

That's right!

The handsome man was the Shushan Old Ancestor, Yu Hengzi.

"He's here!"

Yu Hengzi's expression suddenly changed drastically. His back instantly went cold, and cold sweat broke out in an instant!

Yu Hengzi's hands rapidly formed Seals, and the Corpse King suddenly appeared in front of him as if summoned. Grabbing an iron chain as thick as an arm, it rattled and smashed fiercely into the void ahead!
