114: Chapter 114 The People of the Yin Shi Sect

Ouyang Miaomiao thought about the misunderstanding earlier, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush red.

"Ouyang Miaomiao, you didn't used to blush so easily," Xiang Tian noticed her abnormality and teased her with a raised brow.

"You've become quite strange lately."

He muttered to himself, then stood straight up.

Running his Spiritual Qi slightly, he leaped up to the edge of the pit.

Ouyang Miaomiao was called out on her thoughts and lowered her head in embarrassment.

She felt incredibly awkward and didn't dare to even lift her head.

"What are you spacing out for? It's time to leave," Xiang Tian said from the edge of the pit, urging her when he saw she hadn't moved.

"Oh!" Ouyang Miaomiao replied, tapping her toes lightly.

Her figure swept up to the edge of the pit, following closely behind Xiang Tian.

By the lake, the water rippled.

"Brother Yuanshan, we searched this side, but we didn't find anything," Ouyang Yunshan flew over to Ouyang Yuanshan in a hurry.

"Could it be that they aren't in the lake at all?" Ouyang Yunguang, who was beside Ouyang Yuanshan, frowned and guessed.

Just as everyone was huddled together, guessing anxiously, the lake surface suddenly splashed.

Two figures suddenly darted out from the water and landed steadily on the shore.

Who else could it be but Xiang Tian and Ouyang Miaomiao?

"Miaomiao!" Ouyang Yuanshan recognized them at a glance.

His hanging heart instantly settled, and he walked forward quickly.

"Are you both alright?"

"I'm fine," Ouyang Miaomiao shook her head.

She glanced at the group, then turned to look at Xiang Tian beside her.

She asked softly, "What happened here?"

Xiang Tian explained concisely, then added at the end.

"The aura you sensed earlier should have been Miaomiao."

"Sorry for making everyone worry," Ouyang Miaomiao clasped her hands in a salute to the crowd.

"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine!" Ouyang Yuanshan let out a long sigh of relief, a pleased smile appearing on his face.

This trip to the Secret Realm was one where he had requested the Ouyang Family Core Disciples to accompany him.

If something had truly happened, it would have been a significant loss for the Family.

"Sister Miaomiao!" A crisp voice rang out, and Ouyang Huamei flew quickly to Ouyang Miaomiao's side.

She leaned close to her ear and teased in a low voice.

"You stayed at the bottom of the lake with Xiang Tian for so long, how far have you two progressed?"

"Huamei, you girl, you're talking more and more these days," Ouyang Miaomiao glared at her, teasing her back intentionally.

"Don't you like Xiang Tian too? Being so generous, are you willing to give him to me?"

"Who else but me is so magnanimous!" Ouyang Huamei patted her chest.

She looked so "generous" that Ouyang Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ahem!" Xiang Tian coughed twice, interrupting their whispering.

"Since everyone is gathered and Miaomiao is safe, let's continue on our way and find the others to regroup."

"Well said!" Ouyang Yuanshan nodded in agreement and immediately gave the order.

"Everyone, get ready, let's move out!"

The group immediately packed up and rushed forward.

Only Xiang Tian was surrounded by Ouyang Miaomiao, Ouyang Huamei, Ouyang Ling, and several other female Disciples of the Ouyang Family.

His ears were full of their chattering questions.

They were nothing more than prying into the details of him and Ouyang Miaomiao at the bottom of the lake, giving him a headache.

Traveling like this, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Roar—!"

A deafening beast roar suddenly came from the dense forest ahead, shaking the surrounding leaves until they rustled.

"It's a fifth-order Spirit Beast, the Red-Haired Ape!" Ouyang Yuanshan stopped abruptly and looked toward the source of the sound.

He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, be on guard!"

As he spoke, he had already drawn his long sword, blocking in front of the crowd.

His Spiritual Qi surged, ready for battle.

"Isn't it just a fifth-order Spirit Beast? Is there any need to be so nervous?" Ouyang Miaomiao, however, didn't care, a smile curling at the corner of her lips.

She was now at the Martial Emperor Realm, more than capable of dealing with a fifth-order Spirit Beast.

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure flickered rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, she had approached the depths of the dense forest and arrived in front of the Red-Haired Ape.

"You beast, seeking death!"

Ouyang Miaomiao gave a cold shout.

A long sword with a cold glint appeared in her hand at some point.

With a light flick of her wrist, the long sword swept out with sharp Sword Qi.

"Chila—"

The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was clearly audible.

One of the Red-Haired Ape's thick arms was actually severed directly, and blood sprayed out.

"Roar—!"

The intense pain caused the Red-Haired Ape to let out a shrill scream.

It frantically swung its remaining arm, trying to fight back.

But it couldn't keep up with Ouyang Miaomiao's speed.

The people behind saw this, all of them looking stunned and incredulous.

"Miaomiao... She actually broke through to the Martial Emperor Realm?!" Ouyang Yunshan was even more shocked.

His strength was originally on par with Ouyang Miaomiao's.

Even though he had gained some opportunities, he had only just reached the seventh level of the Martial King Realm.

He didn't expect Ouyang Miaomiao to have broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm a step ahead of him.

"Good! Good! Good!" Ouyang Yuanshan said "good" three times.

A pleased smile appeared on his face.

He nodded repeatedly, "For Miaomiao to gain such an Opportunity in the Secret Realm, it is truly the fortune of my Ouyang Family!"

A Martial Emperor Realm powerhouse is a pivotal core force for any Family.

Not long after.

Ouyang Miaomiao returned to the group with the corpse of the Red-Haired Ape, looking relaxed and at ease.

She threw the corpse in front of Xiang Tian.

"Give this ape to Bai Yu. Previously in the Secret Realm, she risked her life to save me. I must remember this favor."

"No problem," Xiang Tian nodded and waved his hand.

He sent the Red-Haired Ape's corpse into the System space.

Inside the System space, Bai Yu saw the corpse of this fifth-order Spirit Beast.

She was immediately overjoyed, dancing with excitement.

The essence blood and inner core of a fifth-order Spirit Beast were of great benefit to her cultivation improvement.

The Disciples of the Ouyang Family saw this.

They stepped forward one after another to congratulate Ouyang Miaomiao, their tone full of envy and awe.

"Hehe, it's just good luck, I just happened to get a little Opportunity," Ouyang Miaomiao waved her hand with a smile.

Changing the subject, she looked at Xiang Tian beside her with gentle eyes.

"Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Xiang Tian. If it weren't for him..."

She told the story of how Xiang Tian saved her earlier, point by point.

As she spoke, she naturally took Xiang Tian's arm.

She rested her head gently on his shoulder, her posture intimate.

"Tsk tsk, Miaomiao, your fate with Xiang Tian is truly destined by heaven!" Ouyang Yunshan couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this.

"That goes without saying!" Ouyang Miaomiao raised her chin, looking proud.

She added a disparaging remark.

"Compared to that self-righteous Ouyang Yutian, Xiang Tian is much better than him!"

Hearing this, everyone smiled awkwardly, and no one responded.

Ouyang Yutian was, after all, a Genius of the Ouyang Family.

But compared to Xiang Tian, he was indeed significantly inferior.

Just when everyone was happy and the atmosphere was just right.

A sinister roar suddenly came from afar, breaking this harmony.

"Let's see where you can run!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they all looked up.

They saw three battered and exhausted figures fleeing frantically in their direction.

Behind them, a group of Men in black were in hot pursuit.

"It's Brother Qin, Brother Xiang, and Brother Chen!" Ouyang Yuanshan recognized the three fleeing people quickly, and his brows furrowed instantly.

Those three finally saw Ouyang Yuanshan's group.

They shouted anxiously, "Brother Yuanshan! Run! Quickly, take everyone and run!"

"Haha! Run? Do you think you can still escape?" The Men in black chasing behind let out arrogant laughter.

Their speed did not decrease at all, and they closed in in the blink of an eye.

Xiang Tian's gaze fell on those Men in black, and his brows furrowed tightly.

He was all too familiar with the sinister aura emanating from these people!

When Duanmu Hongdie's Family was destroyed, this was the exact aura he had felt!

Could it be that these people are all Disciples of the Yinshi Sect?

He and the Yinshi Sect had long since formed a blood feud.

Now that they had met on a narrow path, a fierce battle was probably inevitable.

As his thoughts raced, the three fleeing Cultivators rushed to the front of the group.

And the Men in black also quickly surrounded them, encircling Ouyang Yuanshan's group.

"Senior Brother, look at these women, they look quite pretty," one of the Men in black let his gaze wander over Ouyang Miaomiao, Ouyang Huamei, and the others.

His eyes were lecherous, and he licked his lips.

"Why don't we play with them before killing them?"

These women were all outstanding in appearance and had extraordinary temperaments; no wonder they made him have crooked thoughts.

"Junior Brother, do not delay the important business!" The leading Man in black darkened his eyes and reminded coldly.

"Kill all these people first; as for those women, I'll let you deal with them later."

"Alright!" The Man in black nodded immediately, a flash of excitement in his eyes.

The other Men in black also showed bloodthirsty smiles, their internal sinister Yin Qi surging.

They couldn't wait to make a move.

Xiang Tian stepped forward, blocking in front of the women.

He stared coldly at the leading Man in black and said in a deep voice.

"Are you people from the Yinshi Sect?"

The Men in black all frowned upon hearing this.

"It's you kid?" The leading Man in black's gaze fell on Xiang Tian.

He was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up, as if he recognized something.

He quickly took out a portrait from his bosom and carefully compared it.

"That's right! It's him!" The leading Man in black slapped his thigh and laughed loudly.

"We traveled far and wide to find him, only to find him without any effort! I didn't expect to run into you here!"

Xiang Tian's brows furrowed even tighter, and he secretly thought that things were bad.

Ouyang Yuanshan and the others also had solemn expressions.

The people from the Yinshi Sect were looking for Xiang Tian specifically; this was going to be a big trouble.

Given the Yinshi Sect's style of doing things, if they couldn't escape today, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Brother Xiang, are you sure they are from the Yinshi Sect?" Ouyang Yuanshan leaned over to Xiang Tian and asked in a low voice.

"There's no mistake," Xiang Tian nodded.

"I've dealt with people from the Yinshi Sect before; the sinister aura on them can't be mistaken."

"Then that's troublesome," Ouyang Yuanshan's expression became even uglier, his brows locked tightly.

He stared fixedly at the Men in black outside the encirclement.

"The Yinshi Sect's poisonous Cultivation Technique is too strange. Once the Yin Qi enters the body, it is harder to treat than being poisoned. At best, one's Meridians will be broken and their cultivation completely crippled; at worst, one will die on the spot, with no way to cure it at all."

"What? Have you decided how you want to die?" The leading Man in black crossed his arms and looked down at the crowd.

Xiang Tian took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He was confident he could escape on his own.

But there were still people from the Ouyang Family beside him; if they fought hard, there would likely be casualties.

The most important thing right now was to figure out the opponent's background.

"I'm going to die anyway," Xiang Tian said slowly, looking at the leading Man in black with calm eyes.

"I'm just curious, how did you find out from where that I have a Dragon?"

As long as he could find out the source of the news, he could take more precautions in the future and not be so passive.

"Hehe, does this need to be told by someone else?" The leading Man in black sneered and shook his head slowly.

He paused.

He deliberately kept everyone in suspense before speaking slowly.

"Let me tell you the truth—now, in the entire Lingyun Continent, all forces with any strength know that you have a Dragon! Those hidden Holy Lands and ancient Sects are all already starting to stir, wanting to snatch your Dragon!"

Speaking of this, he laughed out loud again, his tone extremely arrogant.

"However, they won't have a chance! This Dragon is ultimately ours, the Yinshi Sect's! Hahaha!"
