Chapter 62: Junior Brother Xie, Were You Always This Perverted

While he was distracted, the puppet quickly charged forward, its palm condensed with terrifying sword intent.

Wen Buyu pulled Xie Chenzhou away,

“Junior Brother Xie, don’t get distracted!”

Xie Chenzhou snapped out of it:

“You, didn’t you hear?”

Chu Yao: “Hear what? Me and Big Brother are about to be killed by this thing, can you focus?!”

Xie Chenzhou bit his tongue hard, forcing himself to wake up, raising his sword to fight again.

After dispersing all the imprisoned cultivators and mortals, Sang Nian rushed back without stopping.

She ran and quickly analyzed the current situation with Su Xueyin:

“Puppets are just puppets, they can never be truly as powerful as humans. It looks like a Transcending Tribulation stage, but its actual strength is at least two levels lower.”

“And, they have fatal weaknesses…”

Wen Buyu said, in the chest.

If they aimed at this spot and attacked with all their might

Her eyes lit up:

“Xueyin!!”

Su Xueyin understood immediately: “Got it!”

Sang Nian pinched a spell, summoning a water dragon.

The water dragon roared and charged into the air, circling the puppet continuously.

Su Xueyin struck the ground with her palm, lightly saying:

“Ancient Ice, All Things Frozen!”

In an instant, a chill swept in, the water-soaked ground solidifying into solid ice.

The ice extended all the way to the puppet’s feet, and at the same time, the water dragon descended from the sky, tightly wrapping around the puppet.

In the blink of an eye, it was frozen in place.

With their cultivation levels, they could only hold it for three seconds at most.

Before Sang Nian could speak, Wen Buyu and the others simultaneously raised their swords in unison.

Sword winds swept up, layer upon layer of dazzling sword light condensed in front of them, like a storm of sails and horses, slashing towards the frozen puppet’s chest.

“BOOM!!!”

The earth shook, countless bricks and stones fell, dust filled the air.

Under Sang Nian’s nervous gaze, the puppet swayed, took a step back, and stumbled to the ground.

Sang Nian: !!!

It worked!

“Good job!” Chu Yao gave her a thumbs up.

“There’s still one more puppet,” Wen Buyu said, “Junior Sister, don’t let your guard down.”

Chu Yao twirled her sword, “Ayin, do it again!”

Su Xueyin: “Got it!”

She exchanged a look with Sang Nian, and they both pinched a spell.

Another “BOOM” echoed.

They held their breath.

The last puppet fell and disintegrated.

They looked at each other, all covered in dust and blood.

“We… won?”

Su Xueyin patted her face, muttering:

“We won, I’m not dreaming, am I?”

Chu Yao screamed and rushed over to hug her and Sang Nian: “We won!!!”

The three girls excitedly hugged each other.

Xie Chenzhou shook the dust off his sword, looking at the elated girls, a slight smile curved his lips.

Suddenly, someone put an arm around his shoulder, gently patting it.

Xie Chenzhou glanced over, it was Wen Buyu.

He was about to take his hand away, but the other party had already withdrawn it on his own, praising him in a warm voice:

“Junior Brother Xie, you’re very powerful.”

Xie Chenzhou scoffed, “No need to remind me, I know.”

Wen Buyu shook his head and laughed.

“Let’s go, this place might collapse.” Xie Chenzhou said to Sang Nian.

“Okay,” Sang Nian casually handed him a clean handkerchief, “Wipe your face, it’s all dusty.”

Xie Chenzhou took it, his initial wiping motion paused.

He glanced at Sang Nian, who was turning to heal Chu Yao, pursed his lips, and slowly brought the handkerchief to his nose, lowering his head to sniff.

It smelled the same as her.

Xie Chenzhou slightly curved his eyebrows, carefully folded the handkerchief and tucked it into his pocket.

He casually wiped his face with his sleeve, then turned his head, meeting Wen Buyu’s shocked gaze.

Xie Chenzhou: …

Wen Buyu’s pupils trembled: “You”

Xie Chenzhou’s tone was hard: “It’s not what you think.”

Wen Buyu: “But”

Xie Chenzhou: “No buts, dare to utter a word, and I’ll kill you.”

Wen Buyu was full of worry, wanting to speak but stopping himself, stopping himself but wanting to speak.

Finally, he mustered up the courage to pull Xie Chenzhou aside and whispered:

“Junior Brother Xie, were you always this perverted?”

Xie Chenzhou: “…”

Xie Chenzhou: “I’ve changed my mind.”

Wen Buyu: “?”

Xie Chenzhou: “I’m going to kill you now.”

Wen Buyu: “…”

The next moment, a magnificent sword energy slammed down.

Wen Buyu was shocked: “Junior Brother Xie, are you really going to kill me?!”

Xie Chenzhou gritted his teeth: “I didn’t do anything.”

“It’s Qingyun Sword!”

Chu Yao was the first to recognize the person, excitedly saying:

“My father is here to save us!”

Sure enough, as soon as her last word left her lips, the man in embroidered clothes landed gracefully.

He glanced at everyone, skipping over Chu Yao, who was full of anticipation, and rushed towards Sang Nian:

“Are you injured anywhere?”

Chu Yao’s expression froze bit by bit.

Sang Nian frantically stepped back to avoid his outstretched hand, frowning and reminding him:

“Sect Master, you should be concerned about Chu Yao Senoir Sister first.”

Only then did Song Lanfeng turn around and ask:

“Are you all okay?”

Chu Yao clutched the sword in her hand and left with her head down.

Wen Buyu suddenly spoke:

“Master, you shouldn’t treat Chu Yao like this.”

After saying that, he bowed to Song Lanfeng:

“Disciple is disobeying his master today, and will go to the Discipline Hall to be punished after returning to the sect. Disciple takes his leave.”

He and Su Xueyin chased after Chu Yao, the three of them leaving side by side.

Song Lanfeng frowned slightly.

Sang Nian took the opportunity to ask:

“How did Sect Master come here?”

Song Lanfeng was about to speak when Xiao Zhuochen landed, bowed to Song Lanfeng, saw the empty iron cages around, and breathed a sigh of relief:

“Sang Niang, have you saved everyone?”

Sang Nian nodded: “Where’s the Valley Master of the Yaowang Valley?”

Xiao Zhuochen said: “He escaped, I’ve already notified the Ten Thousand Immortal League to apprehend him.”

Sang Nian was slightly disappointed: “He’s really cunning.”

“Since this matter is settled, I should return to Yujing to report back.” Xiao Zhuochen bowed to everyone, “Farewell.”

Sang Nian: “Farewell.”

After he left, Song Lanfeng slowly said:

“There’s something I need to tell you.”

Sang Nian suddenly said: “Wait!”

She turned her head: “Where’s Xie Chenzhou?”

At some point, she was alone, with no sign of Xie Chenzhou.

Song Lanfeng said:

“He left alone a while ago.”

Sang Nian’s heart skipped a beat, quickly bowing:

“We’ll talk about this later, I’ll go find Xie Chenzhou first, farewell.”

After saying that, she didn’t wait for Song Lanfeng to answer, and directly flew away on her sword.

In the empty dungeon, Song Lanfeng stood in place, staring for a long time at the direction she disappeared in.

After an unknown amount of time, he withdrew his gaze and sighed softly.

“Whatever.”

The rain had stopped, and the entire Medicine King Valley was in chaos.

Members of the Ten Thousand Immortal League arrived in droves, either escorting disciples of the Medicine King Valley or rescuing and searching for escaped cultivators and mortals.

The flames soared into the sky, Sang Nian kept searching for Xie Chenzhou in the crowd.

“Stop!”

A member of the Ten Thousand Immortal League stopped Sang Nian, seeing that she was wearing the uniform of the Medicine King Valley, he immediately wanted to capture her.

“This is my junior sister,” Wen Buyu quickly stepped forward, presenting his jade pendant, “We are disciples of the Xiaoyao sect.”

“So you are fellow Daoists from the Xiaoyao sect.”

The man quickly let go of Sang Nian:

“Brother Xiao reminded me before he left, fellow Daoists from the Xiaoyao sect can leave freely.”

Wen Buyu said to Sang Nian: “Let’s go, Chu Yao is waiting for us at the gate.”

Sang Nian: “Is she… okay?”

Wen Buyu smiled: “She’s fine.”

After a pause, he added:

“She didn’t blame you.”

Sang Nian’s worried heart calmed down a little:

“Is Xie Chenzhou with you?”
