28: Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't.

Heavenly Sword Sect.

Second Mountain.

Inside an elegantly decorated room, candle flames flickered, and a sumptuous meal was laid out on the table.

Having been busy for a long time, Guo Dewu finally returned to his small home. Gazing at everything familiar before him, he could not help but sigh with emotion.

"In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. This trip was indeed the longest one yet..."

Immediately after, he abandoned his usual dignified appearance as a Mountain Master, kicked off his cloth shoes, and squatted directly on the wooden chair. Then, he carefully took a book out of his Storage Pouch and took a deep breath.

"I want to see what on earth that brat was looking at, holding this book every single day!"

"Just based on the title, I knew it wasn't anything good. He even tried to fool this old man, saying that the Dao techniques were contained within!"

"Foot Dao and hand techniques, right!"

"Old Ancestor above, I, Guo Dewu, am definitely not reading this for my own sake. It is for my good Disciple that I must risk myself; it is all to pull him back from the wrong path..."

After completing his mental preparation, Guo Dewu slowly opened the book titled 《Tales of Daoist Amorousness》 with a calm expression.

Subsequently.

"Eh?"

"Hmm?"

"Ah?"

"It can even be done like this?"

"This... this shouldn't be read..."

"Yo ho!"

However, at that moment, with a bang, the room door was pushed open by a jade-like hand, and Guo Dewu shivered all over.

"Mountain Master, Junior Brother Lin Qingyue is in trouble." A middle-aged beautiful woman wearing a purple long skirt and having a voluptuous figure walked in, her face solemn as she cupped her hands and spoke.

"Cough, cough, cough... Elder Jia..." Guo Dewu's face was flushed, and he unhurriedly closed the book before asking softly, "Isn't he in Leizhou? Isn't Leng Lingshuang over there? What kind of trouble could he possibly get into?"

Damn it! Why didn't this woman knock? Does she not know manners? Although he was cursing wildly in his heart, he maintained his composure on his face.

As for Leng Lingshuang, she was the First Mountain's Chief Disciple and the pillar of this generation of Disciples in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Elder Jia directly took out a sound transmission stone, and Lin Qingyue's urgent voice quickly came from within.

"There is a Yao Race chaos in Yunzhou. Two half-step Nascent Soul Great Demons are leading a horde to attack the city. The guardians of Xuan Guang Cave are nowhere to be found. Send reinforcements immediately..."

Guo Dewu raised an eyebrow, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and snorted coldly.

"Hmph!"

"That bunch of trash from Xuan Guang Cave. You, select some Disciples and head to Yunzhou to resolve the Yao Race chaos..."

"Mountain Master, I..." Elder Jia thought for a moment and looked troubled; she had other missions to complete. The situation in the three prefectures guarded by the Heavenly Sword Sect was becoming increasingly severe, and a Yao Emperor from the Heavenly Demon Cave had torn open several more passages, which she had already been ordered to handle.

"Oh, right, you have to go to Qingzhou. Forget it, I will go there myself..." Remembering that she had just received a mission, Guo Dewu added.

Elder Jia was stunned: "Mountain Master, you are going yourself?"

It was just two half-step Nascent Soul demons; the Mountain Master still had to deal with the Yao Emperor. If news of his appearance in Yunzhou spread, no one would be watching that Yao Emperor. A Soul Transformation Yao Emperor without anyone to suppress it would cause a huge disaster.

"It's fine. That stupid bird was tricked by me and is now trapped in a grotto-heaven, unable to get out," Guo Dewu explained, knowing what Elder Jia was worried about. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have had the time to return to the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Elder Jia's eyes were filled with awe, and she cupped her hands with extreme seriousness: "Mountain Master's Divine Might!"

She was very clear about how terrifying the "stupid bird" in Guo Dewu's mouth was! The Old Ancestor of the Hell Three-Headed Bird, a Middle Stage Soul Transformation Yao Emperor!

A moment later.

Ninth Mountain.

In front of a silent wooden house, Guo Dewu stood there, waving his hand with some interest, and picked up a piece of rice paper left on a stone stool.

"Shen Nian dared to go down the mountain by himself?" Guo Dewu looked at the four large characters written on the rice paper, "Gone to slay Yao," and felt somewhat surprised.

He had intended to take the child, who had joined his Junior Sister's sect six years ago, to see the world before heading to Yunzhou. After all, he was his Senior Martial Uncle, and he had an excellent relationship with Luo Li. Since she couldn't get away from the Heavenly Demon Cave, she had once asked him to guide Shen Nian if he ever returned to the sect.

But to Guo Dewu's surprise, this kid had snuck off by himself!

Gone to slay Yao? It sounded grand enough, but according to Junior Sister Luo Li, wasn't he only at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment? What kind of Yao could he slay?

With such strength, a talented Sword Cultivator, isn't he just going to give credit to the Yao Race? He's another greenhorn who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Rushing out so recklessly, does he not know how severe the Yao Race chaos is now? He has no experience, and it's dangerous down the mountain; he must not run into any trouble!

Guo Dewu immediately turned around, took a step, and tore through space, his expression heavy.

"Junior Sister Luo treasures this little guy the most. If something happens to him and it affects her Dao Heart while breaking through, that would be bad!"

"Sigh, I said I wanted to rest for two days; truly, none of them are worry-free..." Guo Dewu sighed helplessly and stepped into the space, disappearing completely.

Outside Yunzhou City.

Xia Youyue looked at the scene before her, staring coldly at the two half-step Nascent Soul Great Demons. Her murderous intent erupted, and she gripped a long spear that had appeared out of thin air.

However, she did not make any moves, but instead looked at the young man in white in front of her. She saw him slowly walk to the side of the girl lying on the ground and crouch down.

"Hmm?"

"Junior Brother Shen!" Lin Qingyue saw the two Great Demons in front of him suddenly stop their actions, immediately sensed someone behind him, and turned to look with a surprised expression.

Had the reinforcements from the Heavenly Sword Sect arrived? But when he saw that there was no one behind the other party, only a Golden Core Stage woman in a black robe, he was stunned again.

"Junior Brother, where are the reinforcements?" Lin Qingyue asked.

However, Shen Nian did not answer and asked softly: "Can you still get up?"

Looking at the familiar face so close in front of her, Xiao Qinger nodded heavily, then bit her lip and tried to prop herself up.

The next second, a gentle breeze helped her up. Sitting on the ground, Xiao Qinger looked at Shen Nian, then, somewhat unable to meet his gaze, said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I've let you down. I probably won't be able to kill a Golden Core Stage Yao Race..."

Xiao Qinger knew this was her only chance. She was seriously injured, and it would be impossible to recover in a few days. The time limit set by her Senior Brother only had one day left; it was impossible to achieve.

After she spoke, Xia Youyue's expression changed slightly, and Lin Qingyue was stunned.

"Good heavens, so this girl is from the Ninth Mountain!"

"Junior Brother Shen, are you crazy? What kind of mission is this you gave? Foundation Establishment killing Golden Core, how is that possible!" Lin Qingyue complained, momentarily forgetting the formidable enemy before them.

He looked at the dejected Xiao Qinger again and couldn't help but say: "You are truly amazing."

"To be able to almost kill a Middle Stage Golden Core Tiger Yao with the strength of an Early Stage Foundation Establishment, no one in our Heavenly Sword Sect can achieve such a record. I'm afraid even in the Great Xia, it's hard to find anyone who can compare. What are you unhappy about!"

"Listen to brother, don't pay attention to him; that's just not something a human can do."

Shen Nian did not look at him, but with a slight movement of his finger, he transferred Qi to Xiao Qinger while speaking slowly: "Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean others can't."
