Chapter 1926: Chapter 1926: Dream Dao
Xiao Yi specially came to wait here.
It was because back at the Medicine Star Mansion, he had already sensed that there were other evil cultivators spying on them.
Of course, normal senses couldn’t perceive it.
But, it couldn’t escape Xiao Yi’s Heaven and Earth Perception under the Taiyin and Taiyang Eyes.
When in the great hall of the Medicine Star Mansion, he saw Murong Lingyun, Xiao Yi had already felt strange.
Judging by Murong Lingyun’s ferociousness, ordinary evil cultivators would need to be at the level of Poison Robe to capture him.
And if Murong Lingyun was intent on escaping, it’s likely that even Poison Robe would find it difficult to handle him.
This proves that Murong Lingyun was not captured at his peak.
It’s very likely that after a battle with him, in a moment of weakness, he was kidnapped by the evil cultivators.
Therefore, the intention of the evil cultivators spying from afar on the Medicine Star Mansion is self-evident.
The group of Heavenly Talents could not possibly resist these evil cultivators, and Mo Youu, who could, had his power greatly reduced by backlash.
Once Xiao Yi leaves, if these evil cultivators return for revenge, they could easily capture a group of Heavenly Talents and also seize Mo Youu.
So Xiao Yi specially waited here.
However, in his previous perception, there were only two traces of evil dao aura.
But now, three figures have appeared.
And that third figure, clad in a dreamlike blue garment, made Xiao Yi frown.
It was Shui Ninghan.
"Oh?" Shui Ninghan exclaimed softly, "The renowned Black Robe Xiao Xun actually recognizes me."
"It seems my reputation is quite substantial."
It was clearly visible that although the two evil cultivators were with Shui Ninghan, they followed half a step behind her.
The seemingly tiny half-step distance spoke volumes.
"The Young Master of Water Light Mansion, to associate with evil cultivators," Xiao Yi smiled indifferently.
"Could it be Miss Shui is also an evil cultivator?"
"Tsk tsk," Shui Ninghan chuckled, "Just because I am with evil cultivators, does that mean I am one?"
"Then, are you saying that Eight Palace Martial Artists, who deal with demon beasts day in and day out, are also beasts?"
"Xiao Xun Deacon has always been able to accurately identify evil cultivators, can’t you see whether I am one or not?"
Xiao Yi, upon hearing this, remained silent.
He certainly knew Shui Ninghan was not an evil cultivator.
The atmosphere instantly became silent.
"Cluck cluck." Shui Ninghan covered her mouth and laughed, breaking the silence instantly.
"Does Xiao Xun Deacon have enmity with me?"
"Where does this saying come from?" Xiao Yi asked indifferently.
Shui Ninghan smiled faintly, and although the group of Heavenly Talents had already left far away, she obviously did not care and instead focused her gaze entirely on Xiao Yi.
"If not, why does Xiao Xun Deacon constantly oppose me and ruin my plans?"
Xiao Yi gave an indifferent smile, "If the so-called good deeds Miss Shui speaks of is me killing a large number of evil cultivators, destroying a lot of evil formations, intercepting the Desert Shadow Spider Skeleton escorted by evil cultivators, and now rescuing a group of Heavenly Talents."
"Ha."
"Dealing with evil cultivators is the duty of the Eight Palace Martial Artists, how can it be said to be opposing you?"
"Saying so, is Miss Shui admitting to colluding with evil cultivators?"
Shui Ninghan’s smile froze and then quickly returned to normal, covering her mouth with a smile, "I never said that, that is just you, Xiao Xun Deacon, speaking."
"Say whatever you want." Xiao Yi shrugged, intending to turn and leave.
Fang Shushu, Tong Ye, Qin Yi, and others had all departed.
He too did not want to confront Shui Ninghan today.
His intuition told him that Shui Ninghan was very dangerous!
"Xiao Xun Deacon seems rather unwilling to have a conversation with me," Shui Ninghan said with a smile, but her tone was evidently cold.
Xiao Yi paused, nodded, "Indeed."
"You..." The smile on Shui Ninghan’s face completely stiffened.
But in an instant, it transformed back into a full spring breeze.
That harmless smile, along with that dreamlike enchanting face, was enough to make almost any man fall at her feet.
However, this smile made Xiao Yi feel a chill in his heart.
"Some days ago," Shui Ninghan said lightly.
"There was also a guy like you, wearing a mask."
"Of course, like you now, he was mocking and arrogant."
"That... really annoyed me." In the final sentence, Shui Ninghan spoke slowly, gritting her teeth, her voice extraordinarily cold.
"Xiao Xun Deacon is a clever man, I think you understand what I mean."
"Ha." Xiao Yi gave an indifferent smile.
"Then I suppose that person is still alive and well."
"Otherwise, Miss Shui wouldn’t be gritting her teeth like this now."
"So I suppose I am the same, even if I make Miss Shui extremely annoyed, it won’t make any difference."
Upon hearing this, Shui Ninghan nodded.
Her face showed not a trace of coldness, nor any sense of anomaly, only her usual enigmatic smile.
"It seems Xiao Xun Deacon is truly uninterested in talking to me."
"Then let’s end the conversation here."
"But before that, could Xiao Xun Deacon perhaps leave the Desert Shadow Spider Skeleton behind?"
"It’s not the property of the Evil Lord Mansion, but rather belongs to me."
Xiao Yi’s tone remained indifferent, "What if I refuse?"
"Then it will depend on Xiao Xun Deacon’s skills." Shui Ninghan’s eyes turned cold, and she suddenly attacked.
With a palm strike, her flawless white hand shimmered with water light.
Reflecting in the sunlight, the water light instantly appeared dreamlike.
Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, and he too struck with a palm.
Under the Ten Thousand Poison Hand, venom surged.
However, the anticipated palm collision did not occur.
His palm directly passed through Shui Ninghan’s hand.
"An illusion?" Xiao Yi frowned.
"Tsk tsk." Shui Ninghan’s figure suddenly vanished before him.
But her clear, pleasant voice lingered in the air.
"Xiao Xun Deacon is truly as others say, like a monster."
"Facing me, a weak woman, he shows no pity and strikes with overpowering venom."
Bang...
A loud explosion sounded in the air.
Xiao Yi felt sharp pain in his chest as he was blasted backward by a palm.
"Pugh." Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the air, Shui Ninghan’s clear chuckling resonated once more.
"Renowned Black Robe Xiao Xun, is that all the skill you have?"
Xiao Yi wiped the blood from his lips, his eyes narrowed.
"Supreme 9995 Dao cultivation." Xiao Yi was secretly amazed.
Shui Ninghan’s cultivation was even a notch higher than Mo Youu.
Her explosive power left Xiao Yi astounded.
Bang... Another loud explosion in the air.
Shui Ninghan’s figure became more dreamlike and elusive.
Xiao Yi perceived it but felt the figure before him was illusionary.
And Shui Ninghan’s palm imprinted heavily on his chest.
Xiao Yi was jolted back several dozen steps, spewing another mouthful of blood.
The radius of a hundred meters had unknowingly turned into a dreamlike realm.
Radiant light shone, mist swirling, dreamlike and ethereal.
Within the dreamlike realm, it seemed only Xiao Yi remained.
Yet, in the air, Shui Ninghan’s chuckling never ceased.
Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang...
With each explosion, Xiao Yi was constantly jolted back.
Blood from his mouth had already soaked a large portion of the black robe on his chest.
"Cluck cluck, I wonder how many more blows Xiao Xun Deacon can endure?"
...
Third update.
Today’s updates, done.
