479: You can't exactly lay a hand on your own apprentice, can you?

A moment later, a faint blush appeared on Meng Shuyan's pretty face.

Countless thoughts swirled in her mind.

Innumerable questions surged into her heart.

Why didn't she have this feeling when she saw Yun'er before?

Could it be that it only triggers at a specific time?

The appearance of this feeling now meant that person really was Yun'er.

Moreover, suffering the backlash from the Immortal Artifact last time really did count as a major crisis for her.

However, it wasn't exactly a life-and-death crisis.

Could that Immortal have miscalculated the divination?

That wasn't impossible!

After all, peeking into the secrets of heaven was not that easy; errors in divination were inevitable.

Still, half of it was correct.

But what should she do now?

She was Yun'er's Revered Master after all~

She couldn't possibly make a move on her own Disciple!

Thinking of this, Meng Shuyan's heart fluttered, and she felt somewhat at a loss.

Don't let her skill at teasing her Disciple fool you.

In reality, when she actually encountered something like this,

she was still a bit flustered.

Soon, Meng Shuyan snapped out of it, her expression returning to calm as the faint blush on her face faded. She thought to herself:

"Forget it, I'll just let nature take its course!"

"Fortunately, that person is Yun'er and not someone else~"

Su Yun, who had just entered the door, also fell into deep thought.

Was that feeling just now an illusion?

Was he too tired after attending the Demon Slaying Assembly?

No!

That didn't seem like an illusion just now.

It was like some kind of ethereal sensation.

Generally, this was related to destiny.

Could it be?

Thinking of a certain possibility,

Su Yun subconsciously opened his personal panel.

Wait, this is?

Other information hadn't changed.

The only change was in the Special Bond column.

[Special Bond: Meng Shuyan (Destined Marriage)]

"The object of the Special Bond is actually Revered Master?"

Su Yun was instantly surprised.

"I remember Revered Master's life script also had a Special Bond column."

With a thought, he opened Meng Shuyan's life script again... [Name: Meng Shuyan]

[Age: 524]

[Realm: Enlightenment 10th Layer (Actually Mahayana 10th Layer, currently under self-Seal.)]

[Physique: Exquisite Immortal Body]

[Luck Rank: Gold]

[Background: Elder of Flowing Light Peak in Taixuan Holy Land, member of the hidden Meng Family of the Spirit Void Realm]

[Special Bond: Su Yun (Destined Marriage)]

[Recent Turning Point: 1. Several months ago, Meng Shuyan killed an Immortal Envoy from the Immortal Realm power Jiyuan Palace in the northern part of the Central Domain. She suffered backlash and returned to her Immortal Cave to heal.]

[Opportunity: None]

..."It really is so!

It's a good thing I have the opportunity plunder talisman.

Otherwise, it would have been troublesome."

Su Yun felt secretly relieved.

But with this bond activated,

doesn't that mean he's destined to be a Rebellious Disciple who strikes at his Revered Master?

Although he had long had a bold idea,

he was very filial toward Meng Shuyan.

Very respectful of the way of the teacher and student~

Truly treating Meng Shuyan as his Revered Master,

he couldn't do such a thing!

Thinking of this, Su Yun involuntarily glanced at Meng Shuyan.

He saw her Immortal beauty, lying lazily on the bed. That plain white dress outlined her exquisite and graceful figure; her black hair was like a waterfall, her skin like ice and jade.

One could vaguely see her slender jade-like legs and her beautiful feet, making it hard to look away inadvertently.

A faint fragrance from Meng Shuyan's body drifted through the room, smelling refreshing and soul-soothing.

Seeing this, the determination Su Yun had just made instantly wavered.

Hiss~

It wasn't that he didn't want to be filial to his Revered Master.

It was that Revered Master was too charming.

Who could resist this!

It really tempts one to commit a mistake!

Immediately, Su Yun shook his head vigorously, regaining his clarity.

These things should wait for later!

For a full dozens of seconds, both people in the room remained somewhat silent.

"Revered Master."

"Yun'er~"

"You go first!"

"You go first!"

"Alright, I'll say it." Su Yun nodded. "Revered Master, how is the recovery of your Physique Origin?"

"Hmm?

The Origin of my Exquisite Immortal Body?

Thanks to Yun'er's help, it has already recovered a bit."

Meng Shuyan said somewhat absent-mindedly.

After confirming that the person was Yun'er,

she felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange when they were alone, and her heart was constantly fluttering.

"That's good."

Su Yun glanced at Meng Shuyan with some suspicion.

Could it be because of that Special Bond just now?

Why did Meng Shuyan look a bit off now?

But it shouldn't have such a large effect, right?

After all, although there was a special feeling,

it came and went quickly.

It didn't cause a particularly large impact.

"By the way, Yun'er, how did the Demon Slaying Assembly go?"

Meng Shuyan took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and began to change the subject.

"It was fine! We've already discussed it with the major powers; we will march into the Southern Region in three days."

"Tell me the specifics of it."

"Alright, Revered Master, it's like this..."

In this strange atmosphere, Su Yun began to tell Meng Shuyan about the events at the Demon Slaying Assembly... Three days later.

On the other side.

Southern Region.

Azure Sun City.

A large number of Sect Cultivators gathered there.

Leading them were the two major Southern Region Sects, the Xuanji Sect and the Lingfa Sect.

The rest were all small Sects.

At this time, the Sect Masters of the two major Sects stood on the city wall, using their Divine Sense to scout the situation of the Demon Race army in the distance.

"It's troublesome; the reinforcements sent by the Holy Land seem to be trapped.

They haven't arrived yet.

What should we do!"

Gu Linyuan's brow was tightly furrowed as he checked the communication jade slip in his hand from time to time.

Five days ago, he received a message saying that several Elders from the Taixuan Holy Land would come to support them.

He was instantly overjoyed.

But unexpectedly, not long after, those Taixuan Elder sent a message saying they were ambushed by the Demon Race and couldn't come immediately.

After that, no more news was received.

It was very likely that those Holy Land Elders were pinned down by Demon Race experts, or... "Gu Linyuan, are you afraid?

If you ask me, what's there to be afraid of? Just do it!

They're just mere Demon Race brats.

There are no Demon Sovereigns of the Enlightenment and Tribulation Crossing Realm on the opposite side.

The strongest are just Demon Generals at the Body Dao Integration Realm.

Our two Sects' Grand Elders can handle the Demon Generals.

As for the other Demon Race members at the Soul Emergence and Soul Transformation Realms?

Just fight them and be done with it. How many great storms have I, Xu Jianshan, weathered?

Isn't it just risking our lives?

It's simple enough!

In a moment, I'll head out of the city to face them.

I'll crush the prestige of those demons."

Hearing this, Lingfa Sect Revered Master Xu Jianshan glanced at Gu Linyuan with some disdain.

Then, he stretched his burly frame, eager to try.

"Reckless!

If the Demon Race army could be solved so easily, they wouldn't have conquered half of the Southern Region in just a few days!

What we should do now is hold off this wave, then find a way to evacuate.

Since reinforcements aren't coming,

we can only find our own way to leave."

"Tsk, so cowardly?

It seems that after so many years, you, Gu Linyuan, have also become a timid person!"

"You!"

Gu Linyuan was somewhat speechless.

Risking one's life against the Demon Race was simple enough.

But what about the Disciples?

He couldn't just send them to their deaths!
