94: Chapter 94 Martial Arts School? It's related to you?
At this moment, saying anything was useless.
Ever since her confrontation with Ximen Chuixue, her state of mind had been turbulent.
Coupled with the subsequent conversation between Wanwan and Xu Weixiong, she began to re-examine her beliefs.
Su Rui’s undisguised disdain for Quiet Temple of Compassion also made her start to reflect.
She failed to notice that aversion to the Quiet Temple of Compassion’s methods had already sprouted in her heart.
This time, the appearance of the people from Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery completely awakened her self-awareness.
“What? Does the Saintess truly have some other plan?”
Seeing that she was unmoved, the Abbess of Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery swung her sword in pursuit, speaking to disrupt her state of mind as she chased.
“Could it be that the Saintess really intends to leave Quiet Temple of Compassion and join a martial arts hall in Snow Moon City?”
Shi Feixuan’s heart jolted, and she subconsciously turned back to retort.
Just then, a streak of sword light fiercely attacked. She barely dodged, and the True Qi inside her body immediately became chaotic, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Her speed suddenly slowed down.
The Abbess of Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery, along with several Disciples, surrounded her.
“It seems I was right! The Saintess truly intends to betray the Holy Land!”
“You are talking nonsense! I did not! I just disagree with the Holy Land’s methods!”
Shi Feixuan countered with her sword raised, her tone strong, but her breathing was already unstable, clearly indicating severe injuries.
The several sword wounds on her body had not yet been bandaged, and blood was still seeping out.
“It seems the Saintess is truly angered. Right and wrong must be discussed again with your Revered Master!”
The Abbess of Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery spoke coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her words.
She felt a sense of exhilaration at this moment.
The humiliation she suffered in the past had finally been slightly relieved.
This feeling was truly quite good.
“I will certainly return to report this matter to my Revered Master, but I absolutely will not travel with you!”
Shi Feixuan suppressed the surging injuries within her body and replied in a deep voice.
“Then it is not up to the Saintess!”
Shi Feixuan’s heart sank, and her gaze swept over the few people around her.
The Abbess of Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery’s cultivation far surpassed hers, especially since she was severely injured now.
But it wasn't without a chance—forcing a Breakthrough still offered a sliver of hope for survival.
Her Disciples were the Breakthrough point.
Just as she was about to make a move, dozens of figures suddenly rushed over from the distance, quickly surrounding her in the center.
Shi Feixuan’s expression changed slightly, and her heart sank to the bottom.
All these people were wearing the robes of Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery Disciples. The sheer number suggested that the entire Nunnery had likely mobilized.
“Saintess, you cannot escape.
Obediently return with us, either to personally beg for forgiveness from your Revered Master and the Elders, or to complete the mission assigned by the Holy Land!”
Seeing that the situation was settled, the Abbess of Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery’s tone became relaxed, no longer in a hurry.
“You always speak of the common people of the world, but are the actions of the Holy Land truly as pure as you claim?”
Shi Feixuan finally couldn't hold back and spoke up in rebuttal.
The Abbess of Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery’s expression changed drastically.
Although she harbored doubts about the Holy Land, she never expected Shi Feixuan to dare to question it in public.
“Saintess, do you know what you just said?”
Shi Feixuan pursed her red lips, a trace of stubbornness showing in her expression.
“Since you have developed dissenting thoughts, then as your Revered Master, I can only forcibly take you back.”
“Try me!”
She held her sword before her, her gaze sharp as a blade, locked tightly onto her opponent.
“You are no match for me. Do not try to be brave. If your life is endangered, it would be a waste.”
Hearing this, Shi Feixuan let out a cold laugh and said no more.
“Attack! If anyone dares to resist, kill without mercy!”
The Abbess waved her hand and gave the order decisively.
As soon as these words were uttered, the surrounding Disciples all paused, hesitating in their movements.
“You dare to disobey even your Revered Master’s command?”
The Abbess’s face turned cold, her expression slightly twisted, and her tone was chillingly stern.
Hearing this, the Disciples trembled and dared not hesitate any longer, drawing their swords and attacking Shi Feixuan one after another.
Shi Feixuan was instantly trapped in a heavy siege.
Although her cultivation surpassed that of the Disciples present, she was severely injured at the moment and found it difficult to exert herself.
She only held on for a moment before sustaining several more wounds, her blood dyeing her clothes red.
“Saintess, are you still going to remain misguided?”
The Abbess beside her spoke coldly, attempting to disrupt her state of mind.
Shi Feixuan was indeed exhausted now. Blood loss combined with old injuries made her dizzy, and her consciousness was gradually blurring.
...She never imagined that one day she would be ambushed and besieged by a subordinate School of the Quiet Temple of Compassion.
Rage surged in her heart, and she already harbored thoughts of mutual destruction.
“Still talking about the noble Righteous Path? How ridiculous!”
A crisp yet cold voice came from a distance. Everyone was startled and turned their heads.
They saw two slender figures rushing over like a fierce wind.
“Who are you?”
The Abbess of Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery was momentarily stunned and blurted out.
“I am your ancestor!”
Mu Liangyue spoke first, her words utterly merciless.
The Abbess's face instantly turned ashen, anger burning in her eyes, and her ordinary features twisted slightly.
But Mu Liangyue seemed completely oblivious, her face full of disdain.
“Truly an eye-opener. As people of the Quiet Temple of Compassion lineage, you dare to attack your own Saintess!”
“This is an internal affair of our Quiet Temple of Compassion. We advise you two not to interfere!”
The Abbess suppressed her anger, her tone becoming somewhat steady.
She knew this place was close to Snow Moon City. If these two were Disciples of some powerful figure, trouble might arise.
“How did you get here?”
Shi Feixuan asked weakly.
“Hmph, a few small fries from Quiet Temple of Compassion dared to set their sights on the martial arts hall, and they confessed everything after being questioned by the Revered Master!”
Mu Liangyue looked at the blood-covered Shi Feixuan, her tone revealing anger mixed with heartache.
“Martial arts hall? Does it have anything to do with you?”
The Abbess of Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery’s expression shifted slightly, then her face darkened.
Since they were investigating, the martial arts hall that had been gaining significant attention in the city recently was unavoidable.
Moreover, Shi Feixuan had personally visited that martial arts hall before.
Now that she was in such a state, the martial arts hall could not escape blame.
“Take down these two people!”
The Abbess’s heart moved, and she immediately targeted the Disciples of the martial arts hall.
She had heard that they had mastered many profound martial arts.
Currently, only two people had arrived, and they were young, so their strength, no matter how high, was limited.
As long as they captured them and interrogated them about the Cultivation Techniques they learned, they might gain something.
She hadn't planned to enter Snow Moon City anyway.
After tonight’s business was concluded, taking Shi Feixuan back to Northern Li—could the martial arts hall still pursue them?
If they truly dared to pursue them to Northern Li, the Quiet Temple of Compassion would have nothing to fear.
Wang Yuyan looked at the approaching crowd, somewhat flustered.
Although her cultivation was now above Mu Liangyue’s,
this was the first time she had encountered such a situation,
and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
But Mu Liangyue showed no hesitation.
With a wave of her hand, the Butterfly Dream Formation was activated.
Pink mist billowed, instantly engulfing the dozen or so Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery Disciples who rushed in.
The Abbess, who originally thought a dozen people would be enough to handle them, was preparing to subdue Shi Feixuan when she suddenly heard a dull thud.
She turned back abruptly,
only to see that all the Disciples she had sent had collapsed in the pink mist, their figures blurred, already powerless to fight.
“What an evil cult sorceress, daring to use such wicked arts!”
Whether it was true or not, immediately seizing the moral high ground had long been the ingrained thinking of the Quiet Temple of Compassion.
Mu Liangyue faced her coldly, too lazy to bother.
Seeing that the two remained hidden in the mist without responding, the Abbess snorted coldly and waved her hand in signal.
Since Shi Feixuan was severely injured and not yet healed, they should deal with these two intruders first.
“Form the array!”
The Jade Heart Sword Formation was activated again.
The remaining Disciples quickly changed their Formation, completely surrounding the Butterfly Dream Formation.
“This is a bit interesting.”
Mu Liangyue’s eyes lit up, and she casually retracted the Formation, revealing her figure.
The Abbess glanced over and clearly saw the two women inside the array.
Both women possessed peerless beauty and distinct temperaments, neither of them ordinary.
Especially Mu Liangyue, whose figure was gracefully curvaceous, drawing gazes.
A hint of jealousy involuntarily arose in the Abbess’s heart.
“Look at your frivolous appearance; you must be from an evil cult.
Saintess, your previous dealings with the martial arts hall must have been due to their bewitchment.
Today, I will eliminate the two of you first, and then take the Saintess back!”
Mu Liangyue was observing the movement of the surrounding sword array when she heard this, her brow furrowed.
Frivolous?
She was only this relaxed in front of her Teacher.
Her gaze turned cold as she looked at the opponent.
“Do you go, or shall I?”
“Ah?”
Wang Yuyan had never experienced such a situation and was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to do.
Mu Liangyue sighed slightly.
Su Rui probably intended for her to come along this time to gain some experience.
Having strength without the proper state of mind would ultimately prevent one from achieving great things.
She gently opened the small box in her hand.
Instantly, twelve emerald green sword lights shot out of the box, dancing in the air.
Although she was gentle and well-behaved in front of Su Rui,
she originated from the Dark River and learned the art of killing from childhood.
Before meeting Su Rui, she had already completed countless missions, and the blood on her hands was countless.
If one were to speak of ruthlessness, she truly deserved the title of 'Demoness'.
With clanging sounds,
Mu Liangyue didn't even personally control the sword array,
relying solely on the Sword Control Technique, she forced the Disciples of Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery into a continuous retreat,
they could only barely defend and were unable to counterattack.
If touched by the small swords, it would mean instant death.
The Abbess of Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery’s heart shook, and she swung her sword to knock down several attacking Flying Swords.
Her cultivation had reached the Peak of the Grandmaster level, which in Northern Li was comparable to the Perfection of the Zizai Earth Realm.
Naturally, she could discern Mu Liangyue's depth.
However, the Innate Realm, which was merely the Vajra Mortal Body, how could it possess such means?
It must be the profound Cultivation Technique taught by that martial arts hall!
Looking at the green sword shadows swimming in the air, the Abbess had made a judgment:
Although these Flying Swords were sharp, the controller’s physical body was not strong.
As long as they caught her off guard, the outcome was uncertain.
Mu Liangyue was controlling a row of Flying Swords to attack, while Wang Yuyan stood to the side, head lowered. Every time a scream was heard nearby, her slender body would tremble slightly, clearly unfamiliar with the conflicts of the Jianghu.
She might have never even killed anyone herself.
The Abbess of Empty Mountain Hidden Nunnery standing nearby noticed this and immediately had an idea.
Since the two came together, their relationship must be close.
Capturing the weaker one first, and then dealing with the woman controlling the Flying Swords, would be easier.
As long as they forced out the peerless Cultivation Techniques they mastered, they might have a chance to break free from the constraints of the Quiet Temple of Compassion and establish their own faction, one capable of contending with the Quiet Temple of Compassion.
Thinking of this, greedy light appeared in the eyes of this middle-aged woman.
Her figure flashed, and she lunged straight toward Wang Yuyan.
“Yuyan, it’s up to you!”
Mu Liangyue had long sensed the sharp-tongued old woman rushing towards her and immediately understood, shouting that phrase.
