33: Chapter 33 Summoning Cards

"Xiang Tian, you actually have such a powerful treasure!" Xiahou Yun held the jade seal and turned to re-examine Xiang Tian.

The power of this jade seal was far beyond her imagination.

"Hehe, what kind of treasure is this?" Xiang Tian grinned and looked at her with burning eyes. "You are my greatest treasure."

"Are you... looking for a beating again?" Xiahou Yun's face flushed at his words, and she raised her hand to strike him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The fists landed on him, but Xiang Tian didn't feel any pain; instead, he felt a warmth in his heart.

Did this mean that this woman's attitude towards him had quietly changed?

But when would she change this habit of punching and kicking at the slightest provocation?

Xiang Tian grumbled to himself: I must become stronger as soon as possible. Once my strength surpasses Xiahou Yun's, the first thing I'll do is pin this woman against the wall.

...

Haotian Sect.

Qianqing Peak.

"The Fifth and Seventh Elders actually died?"

A white-bearded, white-haired old man was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat, looking at the two shattered Soul Jade Tablets in his hands.

A Haotian Sect Disciple was kneeling in front of him.

"Go and inform the Third Elder and Sixth Elder to wait for me outside the Haotian Sect."

"Yes, Grand Elder."

The Disciple left quickly.

"Hmph! Let me see exactly where you died."

"Ten-Thousand-Mile Trace."

The Grand Elder took out a Talisman, which instantly burned away and flew out of his Cultivation Room.

He followed quickly.

"Sect Leader Yan, it's time for us to act."

He took out a Jade Talisman while on the way.

"Understood."

A woman's voice came from the Jade Talisman.

...

At this time, Xiang Tian and Xiahou Yun were heading towards the Haotian Sect hand in hand.

In their view, since the Fifth and Seventh Elders had been executed and the Grand Elder hadn't received news of Xiahou Yun's death, he shouldn't rashly move against the Sect Leader.

But after walking for half an hour, Xiahou Yun suddenly stopped, her brow furrowed. "Hmm? Why did I feel a flash of light? It seemed like a Tracking Talisman!"

"You noticed it too?" Xiang Tian's heart skipped a beat; it seemed things weren't as simple as they thought.

Just then, four figures walked out from the forest ahead.

Three white-haired old men and a woman dressed in purple Taoist robes.

The woman had an enchanting figure and a stunning face, with flirtatious eyes that were incredibly seductive.

Xiang Tian's gaze fell on her, and for a moment, he couldn't look away.

"Tehe..." The woman let out an enchanting laugh.

"Not good, it's the Grand Elder, Third Elder, and Sixth Elder!" Xiahou Yun's expression changed drastically.

She pointed at the woman and whispered to Xiang Tian, "That woman is the Sect Master of the Meiying Sect, Yan Qingyu. Rumor has it her strength is unfathomable, and she is extremely greedy. As long as she's paid, she'll do anything!"

"Xiahou Yun, I know of you." Yan Qingyu stepped forward slowly, her gaze lingering on her. "Immaculate Sword Body, one in ten thousand."

"Sect Leader Yan, may I ask what business you have with me?" Xiahou Yun gripped the jade seal and the yue maiden sword, looking at her warily.

"What could I possibly want with you?" Yan Qingyu chuckled, waving her hand to take out an exquisite stool from her storage ring and sitting down. "I'm just here to do a job for money, just going through the motions. You do your thing, don't mind me."

She spoke, turning her gaze to Xiang Tian, "Kid, this is an internal grudge of the Haotian Sect. Why don't you stay and chat with big sister!"

As soon as she finished speaking, an invisible force struck, and Xiang Tian was instantly pulled to her side.

At close range, he realized that Yan Qingyu was not only stunningly beautiful but also had a smoking hot figure. That deep cleavage made Xiang Tian's heart skip a beat.

Could such a beauty be looking for a male concubine?

Then he... would have no choice but to agree!

"Third Elder, Sixth Elder, move!" the Grand Elder shouted coldly, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The Third and Sixth Elders responded in unison and attacked Xiahou Yun.

"Sect Leader Yan, please do not make things difficult for Xiang Tian. None of this has anything to do with him!" Xiahou Yun bowed to Yan Qingyu, her tone pleading.

"I've always been clear about my debts and grudges; I only do what I'm paid for," Yan Qingyu said nonchalantly.

Instead, she raised her hand to set up a barrier, enclosing herself and Xiang Tian within it. "Don't worry, I won't let him die."

With the jade seal in hand, Xiahou Yun felt a bit more confident.

She raised her hand with a wave, and the massive jade seal instantly appeared above the Third and Sixth Elders, its majestic pressure pouring down. "You two old fogies, see if I don't beat you to death!"

"Not good... Pfft!" The Sixth Elder, being slightly weaker, was instantly shaken by the pressure, spitting out a mouthful of blood and stumbling back.

"What is this thing?" The Third Elder's face changed drastically as he circulated his full spiritual Qi to resist, yet he still felt immense pressure.

"Hmm?" The Grand Elder's brow furrowed, not expecting Xiahou Yun to have such a treasure.

Without a word, he struck with a sword, the Sword Qi being extremely sharp.

"Clang!"

The jade seal was hit by the Sword Qi and instantly flew back into Xiahou Yun's hand.

"It is indeed a treasure, but unfortunately, your strength is too weak to unleash its true power." The Grand Elder flickered, moving the Third and Sixth Elders to safety, and looked at Xiahou Yun with cold eyes.

Xiahou Yun's heart sank. The Grand Elder's strength was far beyond her imagination; even with the jade seal, she was no match for him.

This was a powerhouse of the Martial Emperor Realm, on a completely different level from the other Elders!

"Little girl, this Elder will give you a chance. Kill yourself and spare yourself the physical pain." The Grand Elder stood with his hands behind his back.

"Hmph! Even if I die in battle, I will never submit to you!" Xiahou Yun protected herself with the jade seal.

Using the pressure of the jade seal, she slightly alleviated the oppression brought by the Grand Elder.

"Stubborn!" The Grand Elder snorted coldly and launched several attacks.

Each strike contained terrifying power, becoming heavier with each blow.

Xiahou Yun struggled to resist, but she soon fell into a disadvantage, blood beginning to seep from the corner of her mouth.

Beside her, Xiang Tian watched with burning anxiety, struggling to rush out. "Let me go! Xiao Yun is my wife, I can't let anything happen to her!"

"Little brother, what do you think you're doing?" Yan Qingyu gently held him down. "That's a battle of the Martial Emperor Realm. A little guy in the Opening Aperture Realm like you rushing in, isn't that just seeking death?"

"Xiao Yun is in danger, I can't just ignore it!" Xiang Tian said anxiously.

"Tsk tsk, quite affectionate, aren't you?" Yan Qingyu chuckled, her eyes seductive. "Isn't it just one wife? My Meiying Sect has plenty of beauties. As long as you're willing, you can take your pick. There are plenty who are prettier and gentler than her."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiang Tian's brow furrowed. Seeing Xiahou Yun struggling more and more, he became even more anxious. "Sect Leader Yan, if anything happens to Xiao Yun today, as long as I live, I will definitely make your Meiying Sect pay the price in the future!"

Yan Qingyu raised an eyebrow and then smiled. "Oh? You do have some backbone. Unfortunately, you can't even save yourself right now."

Xiahou Yun's situation grew worse and worse. Several wounds had appeared on her body, and blood stained her clothes red.

Xiang Tian watched, his heart twisted with pain, when he suddenly heard the System notification.

[Host, you still have two lottery chances. Why not use them?]

"That's right! I was so panicked I forgot!" Xiang Tian's eyes lit up, and he quickly chanted in his mind, "Open the System lottery wheel!"

A massive wheel appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, and Xiang Tian clicked [Draw] without hesitation.

The pointer spun rapidly, and Xiang Tian's heart leaped into his throat.

"Damn!"

The pointer finally landed on the blue area, and a reward popped up.

[Yue Maiden Sword Technique (Complete Edition)].

Xiang Tian's mouth twitched. At a time like this, what use was a sword technique?

It couldn't solve the immediate crisis at all!

"Draw again!"

This was his last lottery chance. If he didn't get something useful, he would have to make a deal with the System!

The pointer spun again, slowly stopping in the blue area.

Just as Xiang Tian was despairing, the pointer suddenly slid forward a bit and landed in the purple area.

A package popped up on the wheel. Xiang Tian quickly opened it, and inside was actually a [Random General Summoning Card]!

[Host, using this card allows you to randomly summon an ancient general to serve you for a duration of one hour.]

"Forget it, I'll try anything at this point!" Xiang Tian immediately used the Summoning Card.

A flash of golden light appeared, and a large man wearing green robes with a red face and a long beard suddenly appeared. He held an green dragon crescent blade, his Aura majestic, like a Heavenly God descending to earth.

"My Lord!" The man knelt on one knee, his voice booming like thunder.

Xiang Tian looked at the man before him and was stunned. "Guan Yu? Lord Guan?"

"This general is here!" Guan Yu replied in a deep voice, standing up and scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes.

"It really is Lord Guan!" Xiang Tian was both surprised and delighted. He quickly pointed at the Grand Elder and said, "Lord Guan, quick, kill that old fogey! Save my wife!"

Without a word, Guan Yu gripped his green dragon crescent blade and turned into an afterimage, rushing toward the Grand Elder.

With one slash, Saber Qi surged horizontally and vertically. "Slay!"

"Hmm?" Yan Qingyu's brows knitted slightly. "The Aura of this red-faced man is actually a bit stronger than mine? Is this your reinforcement?"

Xiang Tian had no time to pay attention to her; all his focus was on the battlefield.
