133: Chapter 133 Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!

Baili Dongjun, however, looked unconcerned and took a large gulp of wine.

Sikong Changfeng retracted his gaze, caught sight of this scene, and couldn't help but shake his head.

He snatched the wine pot from Baili Dongjun's hand, took a fierce swig, and then spoke:

"You must have heard about the matter in Wushuang City, right?"

Baili Dongjun stared at the snatched wine pot, his face full of reluctance. Hearing the question, he nodded.

"Zhao Guyan seemed to touch the Divine Roaming Profound Realm before he died. The power of that strike was astonishing.

As for whether Ye Dingzhi was injured, there is still no definitive conclusion," Sikong Changfeng continued.

Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun reached out and snatched the wine pot back. He weighed it to confirm there was still some left before speaking:

"Back then, he and I joined forces against Yuefeng City, but he actually absorbed all the Internal Energy from our Void Thought Skill.

Even if he hasn't truly stepped into the Divine Roaming Profound Realm now, he is not far from that Realm."

His tone carried a hint of reminiscence, clearly recalling the past battles fought alongside Ye Dingzhi.

Sikong Changfeng pouted, "To be honest, I didn't expect him to cause such a huge commotion.

At this rate, the entire Northern Li might be turned upside down."

"It's difficult," Baili Dongjun shook his head. "To overthrow a Dynasty with a solid Foundation, how easy can that be? Moreover, that was not Ye Dingzhi's original intention."

Thinking of Consort Xuan's appearance, Baili Dongjun suddenly had a thought, as if he understood something.

That person back then was a beauty renowned throughout the world, firmly holding the top spot on the Beauty Rankings.

"Judging by your expression, are you truly planning to intervene?" Sikong Changfeng noticed the change in his demeanor and asked.

"Of course. If he had directly stormed the palace to snatch Consort Xuan, I would have helped him without a second thought.

But now, using the banner of the Mo Cult's Eastern Expedition, causing countless displaced people and casualties—that crosses the line!" Baili Dongjun drained the remaining wine in the pot, his tone heavy.

"That person hasn't returned yet, and I don't know where he is now," Sikong Changfeng gestured towards the direction of the Martial Arts Hall.

"That person's whereabouts are uncertain; he transforms into a Giant Roc and travels a thousand miles a day. It’s impossible to say where he might be." Baili Dongjun paused, then suddenly looked at the other man, "Do you think... Meng Sha can truly be revived?"

"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't believe it at all.

But this person..." Sikong Changfeng shook his head with a wry smile, "I dare not say."

Just then, Baili Dongjun suddenly turned his head, his gaze locking onto a small black dot on the distant horizon.

The dark silhouette moved extremely fast, like lightning flashing through the wind. In the blink of an eye, it swept across the sky and hovered above Snow Moon City.

"He's back!"

Baili Dongjun looked at the Giant Roc spreading its wings and circling in the sky, his tone carrying a hint of surprise and emotion.

Truly, speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

Su Rui's returning figure immediately drew the attention of the entire city.

Now, everyone knew what the Roc soaring through the heavens signified.

People's expressions varied: some were surprised, some were in awe, and many young Martial Artists, unable to contain their excitement, rushed towards the Martial Arts Hall.

Yin Luoxia, who was overseeing the Martial Arts Hall affairs, looked up at the sky. Her eyes flickered slightly, and an unconcealed delight appeared on her face.

When they saw each other daily before, she hadn't felt much. But after not seeing him for these few days, her heart felt incomplete, making her restless, unable to eat or sleep well.

She had come out to supervise the work today specifically to divert her mind through busyness, but unexpectedly, she spotted that familiar figure at the first glance.

Her figure flashed, leaving no word behind, and she directly rode the wind back, landing straight into her own small courtyard.

Sikong Qianluo was practicing her spear forms, the spear shadows flying wildly, when she suddenly saw the Roc shadow approaching from the horizon. The long spear slipped from her hand, and she ignored it, turning around to jump up.

"Master is back!"

She shouted and jumped, her face flushed red.

At that moment, Luo Xian, whose martial arts had been sealed, slowly walked out from inside the house and looked up at the sky-obscuring Roc phantom, her eyes slightly shaken.

Even though she had seen it once, she still found it incredible.

She once thought that her Master, Di Shitian, was the strongest under heaven, utterly unattainable.

But only after leaving Tianmen did she realize that there were other transcendent individuals in the world.

Judging by this method of summoning clouds and riding a Roc, this young Master of hers was probably even superior to her solemn and profound Revered Master.

When Su Rui slowly descended from the sky with Li Hanyi and Mu Liangyue, Sikong Qianluo was just about to rush forward when she saw a delicate figure move even faster—Yin Luoxia tapped the ground lightly and, like a butterfly darting through flowers, abruptly crashed into Su Rui's embrace.

The force was so great that even Su Rui had to take half a step back.

Sikong Qianluo's rapid charge came to an abrupt halt, and she nearly collided with the pair, quickly stomping the ground to stabilize herself.

She stood there stunned, watching Yin Luoxia tightly hug Su Rui's neck, her beautiful eyes wide open, momentarily speechless.

Su Rui felt softness pressed against his chest, and a faint, subtle fragrance lingered near his nose. He gently stroked Yin Luoxia's back and whispered words of comfort.

Only then did Yin Luoxia suddenly awaken, realizing there were outsiders beside her, especially seeing Mu Liangyue's shocked expression. She immediately blushed, hastily let go, retreated several steps, and her voice trembled slightly:

"Master... I was just too happy."

Her explanation was somewhat incoherent.

Fortunately, at that moment, another figure pounced over, clinging tightly to Su Rui like a small beast, wrapping herself around him.

"Master! I missed you so much too!"

Sikong Qianluo exclaimed loudly.

"Get down, have some propriety!" Su Rui said with a wry smile, pulling her off his shoulder with one hand and placing her back on the ground.

Luo Xian watched from the side, dumbfounded.

She had never witnessed such intimate and casual Master-disciple interaction.

Looking again at Su Rui's young and handsome face, she couldn't help but muse—

Perhaps it was this closeness due to their similar ages that allowed for no barriers between Master and disciple.

Whereas her Master, Di Shitian, always sat high on his platform, cold and majestic, making people afraid to approach.

A trace of envy flashed in her eyes.

"Have there been any unusual movements in the city these past few days?" Su Rui walked towards the stone table under the old peach tree in the courtyard and sat down leisurely.

The Su Sisters immediately presented clear tea, their expressions joyful.

"Everything is peaceful.

However, Junior Sister often went out to heal the wounded and treat the sick among the common people," Yin Luoxia replied.

Su Rui nodded slightly, realizing why he hadn't seen Shi Feixuan for a while.

"Although she cultivates diligently, she always takes time out to help others," Sikong Qianluo added. Before she finished speaking, Shi Feixuan happened to walk in from the front hall.

Seeing Su Rui return safely, a light instantly shone in her eyes.

"Greetings, Master. Was your trip smooth?"

"Acceptable," Su Rui smiled faintly and nodded.

"Then... was Senior Sister's father rescued?" Yin Luoxia looked at Li Hanyi with a relaxed expression and asked tentatively.

"With me taking action personally, how could it not succeed?" Su Rui raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"That is natural," Yin Luoxia pursed her lips and chuckled. "Master's wisdom surpasses the world, and his cultivation reaches the heavens. Such a small matter is merely accomplished with a wave of the hand."

Hearing this, Su Rui felt a little helpless and shook his head.

Then he turned to Luo Xian and Yue Qing beside her, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Did Tianmen send you any messages?"

"They did not," Luo Xian immediately shook her head.

"What role did you Tianmen play in this eastern advance of the Demonic Cult?"

"I am not clear," she answered frankly, but seeing Su Rui's deep gaze, she subconsciously added, "My knowledge is limited; I was only ordered to come here to assist with their arrangements."

—She hadn't lied.

Su Rui's eyes moved slightly, and he asked again:

"Then will your Master appear?"

"Uncertain. My Master's movements have always been unpredictable," Luo Xian said softly.

Su Rui nodded slightly, then quickly formed several hand seals with his right hand. A wisp of True Qi condensed into the shape of a bird, chirped clearly, flapped its wings, and flew towards the direction of Cang Mountain.

"You all go and do what you need to do,"

He waved his hand, his tone flat, but his gaze fell upon Yin Luoxia.

"I took a look just now. Has the Martial Arts Hall almost been built?"

"Yes, Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng were very attentive, arranging quite a few people to come over. The progress is fast; we can move in within two more days."

Su Rui nodded, paused, and then said, "You have worked hard these past few days. Come with me to a room later."

As soon as the words fell, Sikong Qianluo and the others, who were preparing to resume their usual practice, all stopped their movements in unison upon hearing this. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with subtle meaning.

Yin Luoxia's earlobes reddened slightly. She glanced quickly at Li Hanyi and softly replied.

Su Rui noticed the strange atmosphere in the courtyard and felt helpless, so he had to explain, "Yin Luoxia's Foundation is stable now. I will help her achieve a Breakthrough to the Carefree Heaven Realm.

If any of you reach the Earth Realm Peak, I will be just as generous."

Only then did everyone understand. They all breathed a sigh of relief, their smiles slightly stiff, and they quickly lowered their heads to hide it.

Su Rui shook his head with a smile, got up, and walked towards the training room, with Yin Luoxia following closely behind.

The door closed, and silence enveloped the surroundings.

The few girls outside held their breath, trying to catch any sound, but they heard nothing.

"Why aren't you even a little worried? She has designs on Master!"

Mu Liangyue couldn't help but ask Li Hanyi, who looked completely calm.

"Aren't you the same?"

Li Hanyi's simple reply instantly silenced Mu Liangyue, leaving her speechless.

Mu Liangyue immediately choked up, her cheeks slightly hot.

At this time, the others gathered around, insisting they recount their experiences while away.

Li Hanyi pushed the task of recounting onto Mu Liangyue, while she herself carried hiding edge and sword name and walked straight into Su Rui's room to start tidying up.

But the room was clearly cleaned regularly, spotless.

After putting the items in their proper places, she looked around, confirmed there was nothing left to do, and turned to leave—only to bump into Li Changsheng standing in the courtyard.

Over there, several people were gathered in a circle listening to Mu Liangyue speak, and even Li Changsheng was standing nearby, listening with keen interest, his face full of curiosity.

Immediately after, Li Hanyi heard Mu Liangyue mention her engagement to Su Rui. Her heart tightened abruptly, and though she wanted to stop it, it was too late.

The Su Sisters, Shi Feixuan, Sikong Qianluo, as well as Luo Xian and Yue Qing, were all stunned, shock written across their faces.

"Doesn't that mean Senior Sister is about to become Senior Mother? No, no!"

Sikong Qianluo waved her hands repeatedly, shaking her head like a leaf in the wind.
