The pupils of the Eight Extremes Sect jointly slayed the besieging Devil Cultivators, but they failed to leave one alive. Both of the ones who were captured alive committed suicide.
The leading pupil of the Sword Sect’s face sank, “It seems that these Devil Cultivators came prepared, and many Mercenaries and Wandering Cultivators died in their hands already.”
“I wonder what the other Sects’ situations are?” Gu Xiu sighed, “Without any of them alive, we can’t ask for the news of the missing pupils.”
“Why don’t we meet with the other Sects to discuss the countermeasures first.” A pupil of the Sword Sect suggested.
“That’s all we can do for now.” Gu Xiu nodded.
After they entered this deep mountain, they encountered two waves of ambush attacks by Devil Cultivators. The other party already arranged an Array to besiege and kill them, so continuing to go deeper into the mountain would only be more dangerous.
After Lou Mu Yan broke the Array, she leaned against a big tree with her arms folded, pondering.
“I wonder what this Junior Sister is called? Thank you, Junior Sister, for breaking the Array and saving us earlier.” The leader of the Sword Sect walked up to Lou Mu Yan and smiled at her.
Lou Mu Yan raised her head and smiled lightly, saying: “My name is Lou Mu Yan.”
“So it’s Junior Sister Lou. I’ve long heard your name. You must be Junior Brother Lou Mu Bai’s younger sister.” The leader of the Sword Sect continued with a smile: “My name is Han Yi.”
“Senior Brother Han, you know my elder brother.” Lou Mu Yan’s expression revealed a bit of warmth when she heard Lou Mu Bai’s name.
“Naturally. Junior Brother Lou has been accepted as a Direct Disciple by my Master. He and I are Senior and Junior Brother of the same School.” Han Yi and Lou Mu Bai had a good relationship. After all, he was his little Junior Brother, so he usually took care of him.
Lou Mu Yan smiled, “So Elder Brother is this powerful.”
To be accepted as a Direct Disciple by a Master of the Sword Sect meant that Lou Mu Bai’s talent and strength should be excelling in the Sword Sect.
When she was in the inn, Gu Xiu focused on introducing Lou Mu Yan and the others to the situation of the other Sects’ pupils that were completing the mission together, especially the leading pupils, so that’s why she knew that Han Yi was the Direct Disciple of the strongest Headmaster of the Sword School of the Sword Sect.
“Junior Brother Lou’s talent is extraordinary. After he activated the Sword Spirit Constitution half a year ago, he was accepted as a Direct Disciple by Master. He only needs to win a spot in the Inner Sect, then he would be able to enter the Inner Sect’s Core School to report.” Speaking of Lou Mu Bai, Han Yi had a look of admiration in his eyes.
“Elder Brother is the Sword Spirit Constitution?” Lou Mu Yan asked in surprise.
She did discover that Lou Mu Bai’s constitution was a little special, but she didn’t expect it to have hidden the Sword Spirit Constitution.
Han Yi nodded with a smile: “Mm. Junior Brother Lou’s Sword Spirit Constitution was covered by his bloodline before, and it was also unintentionally activated when he was doing a mission for the Sect.”
“I see. Then I’ll have to trouble Senior Brother Han to take care of my elder brother a little.” Lou Mu Yan was happy with Lou Mu Bai’s growth inwardly. After activating the Sword Spirit Constitution, her elder brother’s future achievements would grow even more.
“Haha, let alone for the fact that Mu Bai is my little Junior Martial Brother, even if it were just for the sake of Junior Sister Lou breaking us out of the Array and saving us, I will also take care of Junior Brother Lou.” What Han Yi said wasn’t a lie.
When they were trapped in the Array before, they only felt that their essence was constantly being drained. If Lou Mu Yan hadn’t cracked the Array, they would’ve become dried corpses right now.
“Senior Brother Han is too polite. The several Major Sects are completing a mission together, so it should only be that we help each other.”
Lou Mu Yan thought about it, then took out an interspatial ring and handed it to Han Yi with a smile: “Senior Brother Han, can you help me give this interspatial ring to Elder Brother?”
Inside the ring were a lot of pills and talismans she refined, and it would be of great help to Lou Mu Bai after obtaining them.
“Sure, I’ll definitely help you bring it to him.” Han Yi took the ring and put it away.
Then Lou Mu Yan took out two bottles of pills and stuffed them to Han Yi, “There are Elemental Nourishing Pills and Elemental Recovery Pills in here, and they’re of some use to Senior Brother. I will trouble you with my elder brother in the future.”
She heard that Han Yi mingled well in the Sword Sect, had quite some authority, and he was also an upright person. If Lou Mu Bai could obtain his care in the Sect, then he would definitely have a better time.
Han Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two bottles of pills with a half-smile and said jokingly: “Is Junior Sister bribing me? You can keep these pills for yourself. Since Senior Brother promised to take care of your elder brother, I won’t break the promise.”
“Senior Brother, as the saying goes, ‘the mouth that has been fed by others is soft, the hand that has received wouldn’t overreach1’, one doesn’t obtain a reward if it’s not deserved. If you accept my pills, I’ll be more at ease no?” Lou Mu Yan said straightforwardly.
The other pupils were stunned when they heard her words, then couldn’t resist twitching the corners of their lips—was it really good to bribe so openly like this?
But why did they envy Han Yi so much? Although the pill in his hand was only Grade 3, but it was very useful to Sword Masters at Sword Venerable cultivation base.
In particular, the Elemental Nourishing Pill could not only consolidate one’s origins and dredge the meridians, but also make Elemental Energy purer if taken long-term. It was a Grade 3 pill with Grade 4 effects.
On the entire Tian’ling Continent, this pill had long been frantically sought for. Although the Major Sects were interested, but because the Lou Clan’s pill shop had the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance standing behind them, they didn’t act rashly.
“Since this is Junior Sister Lou’s kind intent, then Brother Han should not refuse anymore. Junior Sister isn’t short of pills.” Gu Xiu saw that Lou Mu Yan attached great importance to that elder brother, so he stepped forward and said with a smile.
“HAHA—” Han Yi laughed a few times and said refreshingly: “Sure. Then I’ll accept Junior Sister Lou’s bribe, and I will take good care of Junior Brother Lou.”
Lou Mu Yan’s bold and open behaviour had aroused the goodwill of the several people. The people of the Sword Sect were all rather straightforward, and the long-lasting path of righteousness was more conducive to cultivating the sword.
If she secretly bribed Han Yi, it would instead arouse disgust from him. After all, taking care of Lou Mu Bai wasn’t a big deal, and there was no need to make it so mysterious and secretive.
[SHIU SHIU!!] Suddenly, the sky in the distance lit up with gorgeous, colourful fireworks.
“That’s the summoning signal of the Heavenly Secret Palace. Let’s rush over and take a look.” Han Yi looked up and said.
Immediately, the pupils of the two Sects rushed towards the direction of the Heavenly Secret Palace.
After Lou Mu Yan broke the two Arrays, all the Dark Evil Force around the Array was also sucked up by the person in the pendant.
“Now let’s talk about your identity.” Lou Mu Yan spoke telepathically to the person in the pendant while rushing.
The man in the pendant was silent for a moment before he said in a grim tone: “Have you heard of Jun Luo Chen of the Devil Race from the upper world?”
Lou Mu Yan turned to look at Mo Yan and asked with her gaze. She didn’t know anything about the upper world.
Mo Yan’s indifferent eyes narrowed, “Are you the Devil Lord Jun Luo Chen of the Devil Realm?”
“Ha… I didn’t expect anyone to still know my name even now.” The man in the pendant scoffed at himself: “I was the former Devil Lord Jun Luo Chen. I don’t even know who landed as the current Devil Lord.”
“How was your physical body damaged? Have you been betrayed?” Lou Mu Yan didn’t expect that this person was a Devil Lord that dominated an entire realm. To have his physical body be destroyed even when he sat in that sort of position, then he was most likely betrayed by those close to him.
She didn’t know whether her luck was too good or too awful. Not only did she contract Mo Yan, a Demon King of a portion of the Demon Realm, but now she even picked up a Devil Lord of a Devil Realm.
Jun Luo Chen pondered for a bit, then said with a chilling resentment in his voice: “That’s right. So I’m going to go back to the Devil Realm to take back the position of Devil Lord and send that person into the underworld, never to be reincarnated again.”
