18: Have you heard it yet?

Mu Wanqing and the others frowned deeply.

The robes of the five individuals were identical to Mo Wuchang's, and coupled with the words of the leading Elder, their identity was not hard to guess: they were from the Yin Yang Sect!

Damn it, reinforcements? When did they arrive!

“Senior Sister!” Li Pingan endured his injuries, shielding Mu Wanqing with a solemn expression.

The Auras of these five individuals were no weaker than Mo Wuchang's; in fact, the Auras of two of them were even chilling.

Mu Wanqing said remorsefully, “Junior Brother, I've dragged you into this. If we had left quickly just now, we might have escaped this calamity.”

After killing Mo Wuchang, both of them had relaxed, completely unaware that the opponent had called for Yin Yang Sect Elder reinforcements before dying.

“Senior Sister, why are we talking about dragging each other down? If Revered Master heard this, he would definitely scold me severely.” He paused, then continued, “Senior Sister, I will help you stall for time later; you must escape to the Sect with all your might.”

Mu Wanqing shook her head, her eyes firm: “No, Junior Brother! I, Mu Wanqing, would never abandon my Junior Brother.”

The leading Elder of the Yin Yang Sect narrowed his eyes and chuckled, “Tsk tsk, what a moving display of fellow Disciple camaraderie.”

“A mere greenhorn who can't even stand steadily dares to boast about stopping the five of us. Who gave you such courage?”

The other four burst into laughter.

“This Mo Wuchang is truly a good-for-nothing, to actually fall into the hands of these two greenhorns. It's truly a disgrace to our Yin Yang Sect.”

A rather corpulent Elder spat and said, “It's good that he's dead. His Family has a daughter who is quite attractive. She's perfect for Dual Cultivation with this old man.”

Another person, seemingly finding Mo Wuchang lying there an eyesore, flicked a finger, and a flame flew towards the already deceased Mo Wuchang, igniting a fierce blaze.

The leading Elder continued, “Little girl, obediently hand over the Divine Ability in your possession, and this old man will leave both of you with intact corpses today.”

“Don't, Elder Zhou! This little girl is so delicate and pretty; it would be a pity not to use her to aid my cultivation.” Elder Song, the corpulent one, had kept his gaze fixed on Mu Wanqing ever since he arrived.

He made no attempt to hide the greed in his eyes.

Elder Zhou glanced sideways at the fat man beside him but said nothing.

“Those who insult my Senior Sister shall die!” Li Pingan clenched his fists, enduring the tumultuous injuries within him, and struck a powerful boxing stance.

He whispered without turning his head, “Senior Sister, I have a request!”

Mu Wanqing circulated the Supreme Yin Water Heart Art within her body and gently shook her head: “Junior Brother, there's no need to say it. I won't agree. If we die today, we die together!”

“Senior Sister!” Li Pingan shouted with a firm voice, speaking to himself.

“If you are fortunate enough to escape alone today, please trouble Senior Sister to help me annihilate the Wei Family of Luopo City in the future, and avenge my father's murder!”

Mr. and Mrs. Mu grabbed their daughter's hand: “Qing'er.”

People always have those they are close to and those they are not. As a father, at such a moment, he still wanted his daughter to have a chance at life.

He was willing to stay behind with his wife to cover for this dark-skinned young man.

Mu Wanqing bit her delicate lip tightly, her beautiful brows deeply furrowed. She took a deep breath and finally pulled her wrist free from her father's grasp.

“Dao Seeking Sect Disciples never live ignobly!”

As her words fell, Mu Wanqing's Spiritual Qi rippled, and fine ice crystals floated around her, poised for action.

Elder Zhou's eyes lit up.

Such a profound Divine Ability must be extraordinary. Low Grade Earth Rank, no! It's very likely the legendary high-grade earth-rank.

“Even the Sect Master doesn't possess such a treasure. If I had this Divine Ability, I might even have a fighting chance against those Peak Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer experts in the future.”

This Inner Sect Elder of the Yin Yang Sect, after all, had his vision limited by his own Realm, which led him to mistake this Divine Ability for a high-grade earth-rank one!

The next moment, Elder Zhou flashed, suddenly appearing before Mu Wanqing, extending his withered hand to grab the beautiful maiden's snow-white neck.

“So fast!”

Li Pingan turned his head sharply, then his pupils constricted!

He thought Elder Zhou's arrival was fast, but he didn't expect his return to be even faster.

Elder Zhou transformed into a black shadow and swiftly flew back, bouncing off the ground once before crashing into a nearby house.

Boom!

The house collapsed, and dust rose everywhere!

Mu Wanqing hadn't even reacted when a familiar figure appeared before her. His posture was as tall and straight as a jade tree, his demeanor elegant, and his white robe made him appear like a banished Immortal descending to the mortal world.

Li Pingan's face lit up with joy, and he respectfully called out, “Revered Master.”

The newcomer was none other than Chen Xuan. After Mu Wanqing and the others left,

Chen Xuan always felt that something was amiss. After much thought, he finally discovered the abnormality.

Although Steward Wang had arrived in a hurried and anxious state, his sleeves were neat and his face clean, completely unlike someone who had fled in disarray from Mountain Bandits.

To be safe, Chen Xuan used the teleportation talisman he had just drawn to appear beside his Eldest Disciple.

Mu Wanqing's eyes were red with emotion, and she threw herself at him, hugging Chen Xuan tightly from behind: “Revered Master, this Disciple thought I would never see you again in this life.”

Chen Xuan patted the girl's arm around his waist and comforted her, “Alright, let Revered Master handle this matter first, then I'll listen to your chatter.”

He looked at Li Pingan, smiling and nodding: “Pingan, you've done very well this time, living up to the name of my Dao Seeking Sect. Sit down and take this bottle of Nourishing Origin Pills to recuperate from your injuries; leave the rest to Revered Master.”

Li Pingan reached out to take the porcelain bottle handed to him by his Revered Master, his face full of worry: “Revered Master, these five are all Elders of the Yin Yang Sect. We should still retreat...”

Chen Xuan waved his hand: “Are you teaching me how to do things?”

Li Pingan quickly cupped his hands and bowed his head, “This Disciple wouldn't dare!”

Chen Xuan said calmly, “Today, Revered Master will teach both of you an undeniable truth: no matter what Sect it is, if they oppress my Dao Seeking Sect Disciples, they must pay the price.”

The four Elders of the Yin Yang Sect were all stunned by the sudden turn of events.

The expected scene of Elder Zhou capturing the girl did not occur; instead, a man suddenly appeared and actually kicked Elder Zhou out.

The corpulent Elder was the first to recover, and he angrily shouted, “Who are you, to dare interfere in the affairs of my Yin Yang Sect?”

“Kid, do you have a death wish? You dare to meddle in my Yin Yang Sect's business.”

“This kid is quite handsome. If we capture him and offer him to the Grand Elder, we might even get some Spirit Stones.”

Chen Xuan's gaze swept over everyone, saying, “You've offended my Dao Seeking Sect and still dare to bluster? Are you in such a hurry to walk the Yellow Springs road?”

The four of them froze, then burst into laughter.

“What kind of Dao Seeking Sect? Never even heard of it!”

“Where did this frog at the bottom of a well come from?”

With a “bang,” the corpulent Yin Yang Sect Elder suddenly exploded, turning into a bloody mist that dispersed into the air.

The thick scent of blood brought the laughter of the remaining three to an abrupt halt.

A storage ring floated in mid-air, slowly drifting towards Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan smiled: “Have you heard of it now?”
