Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

82: Section 82Under the pincer attack, he still felt a sense of powerlessness he had never experienced before!

How could this be?!

Clearly, his cultivation level was higher! Clearly, he had more people!

How... how could he be suppressed and beaten by these two little girls?! This defies logic!

Mo Cheng was filled with shock and rage, yet utterly bewildered.

But he still held a sliver of hope—the Mo Clan had more than just him as a Dou Ling! As long as the other Dou Ling Elders arrived in time, everything could still be salvaged!

Just as Mo Cheng struggled to hold on, praying constantly in his heart.

A clear, pleasant, yet slightly lazy and playful female voice suddenly rang out at the entrance of the banquet hall: ”Hehe... It seems I’ve arrived just in time for a good show.”

Everyone looked over, only to see a mysterious woman, dressed in a cyan dress, wearing a wide bamboo hat, her face covered by a hazy veil, possessing a graceful and lithe figure,

slowly walking into the banquet hall.

Her steps seemed slow, yet it was as if she was shrinking the ground into inches, and she arrived in the center of the main hall in the blink of an eye.

Immediately after, she gently raised her jade hand. ”Thump! Thump! Thump!”

Several heads, still dripping blood and bearing expressions of shock and disbelief, were casually tossed onto the smooth floor of the banquet hall like broken sacks!

Blood instantly stained the floor, adding a startling scent of gore to the already oppressive birthday banquet! ”Second Elder?! Third Elder?! And... Fifth Elder?!”

After Mo Cheng recognized the faces of those heads, he felt as if struck by lightning, his pupils dilating to the extreme! The color drained from his face! This... how could this be possible?!

The other Dou Ling Elders of the family... actually... they were all dead?!

Immense shock and despair instantly shattered his final mental defense! And in that single moment of distraction!

Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan seized this fleeting opening! Two incomparably fierce attacks descended simultaneously like lightning! ”Puwah!”

Mo Cheng couldn’t even let out a scream before he was gravely wounded by the combined strike of the two women! Blood spurted wildly as he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, slamming heavily against the wall, his fate unknown!

”Alright, the bothersome flies have been cleaned up.” From the main seat, Yun Xiancheng slowly stood up, a satisfied smile on his face. ”Since my distinguished guest has arrived, this room... should be thoroughly tidied up.”

He did not personally attack; he merely held his sword and focused his mind! In an instant, vast Dou Qi surged out from within him!

Five long swords, shimmering with sharp cyan light and completely condensed from pure Dou Qi, materialized out of thin air and hovered before him! ”Go.”

Following his command.

The five cyan longswords, as if possessing life, transformed into five streaks of light. With a sharp sound of tearing air, they instantly pierced the throats of the few remaining Mo Clan direct descendants who were still stubbornly resisting!

Immediately after, the sword light shifted and mercilessly slashed towards Mo Cheng, the Mo Family Head, who was collapsed in the corner and barely breathing! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Blood sprayed wantonly like a fountain! It stained the walls, the carpet, and the terrified faces of all the guests present!

The thick scent of blood, mixed with the aura of death, completely enveloped the entire banquet hall, bringing this originally festive birthday banquet to a... bloody and bizarre conclusion.

Just then, Yun Ziyi’s figure quietly appeared beside Yun Xiancheng like a ghost. She was holding Qing Lin and Yun Yan, two adorable Little Lolis, in her arms.

Her gaze fell upon the Woman in Green Robe who had just tossed the heads, and a trace of vigilance showed in her eyes. ”It’s fine, Purple Wing,” Yun Xiancheng waved his hand, signaling her not to worry. ”This is my guest. Since the bothersome people have been cleaned up, then...”

He returned to the main seat, picked up the wine cup on the table, raised it toward the Woman in Green Robe from afar, and announced loudly, ”Let the banquet begin!”

The Mo Clan maids, who were already trembling and hiding in the corners, heard the command. Although terrified, they dared not disobey.

Suppressing their inner terror and nausea, they walked on trembling legs, carefully stepping over the still-warm corpses of the Mo Family Head and the direct descendants lying on the ground.

They continued to serve tea and water and arrange the dishes for this ”birthday banquet” that had completely changed its flavor.

The mysterious Woman in Green Robe, seeing this, chuckled lightly, seemingly indifferent to the bloody and bizarre scene before her.

She walked over to the main guest seat, sat down elegantly, and picked up the wine cup before her. She raised it toward Yun Xiancheng from afar, her voice carrying a hint of playfulness and appreciation:

”Giggle... You, this ’Pretty Boy’ from the Cloud Mist Sect, are far more interesting than I imagined.”

165 Hosting the True Guest

”Elder Sister Green Robe has traveled a long distance and must be exhausted. Xiancheng, as the local host, failed to prepare properly and welcome you in advance; this is already rude. Furthermore, I happened to be dealing with some trivial family matters just now, which unfortunately caused Elder Sister to witness such a filthy and bloody scene. It is truly my fault.”

Yun Xiancheng wore a gentle and refined smile, raising his cup toward the mysterious Woman in Green Robe from afar, his words earnest. ”Here, your younger brother offers his apologies first.”

His words were impeccable, establishing his status as the host and conveying his hospitality, while lightly dismissing the recent bloody massacre as ”trivial family matters.” He appeared composed and extraordinary.

However, although Yun Xiancheng appeared so elegant and proper, his several ”wives” beside him were far less relaxed when facing this uninvited ”distinguished guest” in green.

Especially Yun Ziyi!

As a powerhouse of the same level, she could clearly sense that the terrifying power contained within the Woman in Green Robe was in no way inferior to her own! Eight-Star Dou Huang!

However, putting aside her strength, the person before them could certainly be considered a rare Beauty.

Her figure was graceful and her aura mysterious. Although her face was covered by a veil, the mere sight of her exposed pair of Phoenix Eyes and vague outline was enough to spark imagination. But Yun Xiancheng... why did he know this person? And did he seem to have anticipated her arrival?

Yun Xiancheng naturally knew that this person was the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Elder who took Qing Lin in the original work. He hadn’t expected her to show up as well.

”Hehe...” The Woman in Green Robe let out a silver-bell-like chuckle. Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet carried an elusive meaning: ”Younger brother is so polite, it makes Elder Sister... a little embarrassed.”

She did not stand up to return the courtesy; she merely held her wine cup and gestured toward Yun Xiancheng across the distance.

”Elder Sister slaughtered half of this family for you. You wouldn’t blame Elder Sister, would you?” Yun Xiancheng’s smile remained unchanged.

”Then I should thank Elder Sister for helping me clean the room.”

Then, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he suddenly changed the subject, cutting straight to the chase: ”Elder Sister’s visit this time, presumably... is for Qing Lin?”

He slightly furrowed his brow, his gaze falling on Qing Lin, who was clinging tightly to his arm, her small face pale and her eyes filled with terror. He continued, ”Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils... a legendary Holy Eye like this, the faction Elder Sister belongs to must have been searching for it for a long time. Now that they have finally learned of its appearance, they naturally...”

...are unwilling to easily let go of this opportunity.

”Oh?” Hearing this, the Woman in Green Robe paused slightly, the hand holding her wine cup still. A flash of surprise appeared in the Phoenix Eyes beneath her veil:

”It seems... younger brother knows quite a bit more than Elder Sister imagined.” She no longer concealed it and nodded frankly, admitting:

”That’s right! We have been searching for news of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils for a hundred years! Not long ago, I accidentally heard that this eye had appeared in the Tagor Desert, so I immediately rushed over to investigate.”

”I also happened to learn that the Mo Clan of Yan City seemed to have set their sights on this child, even going so far as to secretly purge the Mo Tie Mercenary Group... I then predicted that you people, who are connected to the Mo Tie Mercenary Group and this child,”

would definitely come seeking revenge.”

She gave Yun Xiancheng an appreciative look: ”It seems I was right. Younger brother, you haven’t disappointed Elder Sister.”

”Young Master.” Qing Lin was even more terrified, her small body trembling violently like a sieve, clinging desperately to Yun Xiancheng’s arm as if it were her only lifeline.

Yun Xiancheng soothingly rubbed her small head, raised his gaze, and looked calmly at the Woman in Green Robe. His tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable firmness:

”Elder Sister in Green Robe, you’ve seen it yourself. My little darling here doesn’t seem to want to leave me.”

”Oh? Is that so?” Hearing this, the Woman in Green Robe merely smiled faintly, her expression carrying a hint of playfulness and an undeniable air of dominance!

The next moment, a terrifying aura, vast and mighty like a mountain collapse and a sea tsunami, suddenly erupted from her seemingly delicate body! The pressure of an Eight-Star Dou Huang, feeling almost tangible, instantly enveloped the entire banquet hall!

The air seemed to solidify, and the tables and chairs trembled slightly. The guests and maids who were already shaking were instantly crushed to the ground by this pressure, finding even breathing difficult!

Judging by this stance, she actually intended... to use force directly to seize Qing Lin?! ”How presumptuous!”

Just at this moment, a cold, sharp cry rang out!

Yun Ziyi suddenly stood up from her seat, unleashing the terrifying aura of an Eight-Star Dou Huang just as fiercely!

Purple energy flames blazed fiercely around her. An incomparably overbearing, world-defying King’s pressure, like an awakened giant beast, boldly rushed to meet the Woman in Green Robe’s aura!

The two terrifying pressures of the same rank collided violently in mid-air, clashing! They produced silent yet soul-stirring energy ripples! ”You can... try me!”

Yun Ziyi’s eyes were icy cold, locking onto the Woman in Green Robe. Her tone was grim, filled with undisguised hostility and killing intent. That sharp gaze seemed capable of piercing the soul, making the guests present feel as if they were shot through the heart by an arrow, chilled to the bone!

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense! A shocking battle at the Dou Huang level seemed imminent! ”Hehe... Elder Sister in Green Robe, why be so anxious?”

Just at this critical moment of tense confrontation, Yun Xiancheng maintained his calm and composed appearance, even managing a smile. ”Elder Sister, I know a thing or two about the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.”

”When you take Qing Lin back, you will certainly treat her as a treasure, cultivate her carefully, and if she performs outstandingly, she might even be established as the next Saintess, correct? ”But the way you are acting now—so impatient, even resorting to forceful snatching—looks to outsiders as though... you are not trying to invite a

Saintess back, but rather capturing an important ’test subject’ or tool?”

He paused, his tone suddenly growing serious, his gaze fixed intensely on the Woman in Green Robe: ”If you truly insist on using such forceful means to take Qing Lin from me...”

The smile completely vanished from Yun Xiancheng’s face, replaced by a chilling coldness that made hearts palpitate! ”Then I might make Elder Sister pay a price!”

As his voice fell, the aura surrounding Yun Xiancheng suddenly underwent an earth-shattering change!

His aura, originally only at the Dou Ling realm, actually climbed at an unbelievable speed! Amidst his black hair, strands of white, like snowflakes, silently grew and spread!

At the same time, deep within his unseen Sea of Consciousness, the Medicine Lady’s solidified soul body was tightly embracing him, pouring all her strength into his body without reservation!

”It feels so comfortable. Embracing Chenger’s body is as warm as basking in the sun.”

The Medicine Lady spoke comfortably within Yun Xiancheng’s mind. ”Peak... Peak Dou Huang?!”

The Woman in Green Robe felt the terrifying aura that suddenly erupted from Yun Xiancheng, an aura that faintly surpassed the Dou Huang realm, and her composure instantly vanished without a trace! It was replaced by unbelievable shock!

This... How is this possible?!

He was clearly just a mere Dou Ling moments ago! How could he suddenly unleash an aura comparable to Peak Dou Huang, or even stronger?! Even the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect isn’t Peak Dou Huang, is he? And the Young Sect Leader already is?

The immense shock caused intense apprehension to rise in the Woman in Green Robe’s heart. She couldn’t possibly compete with him now; she couldn’t use force.

She immediately withdrew her aura, forced a slightly stiff smile back onto her face, and her tone softened considerably: ”Hehe, Young Sect Leader, please calm down, calm down.”

”Didn’t you also say it? Qing Lin’s jade spirit three-flower eye is the Sacred Constitution of my Heavenly Serpent Mansion. After I take her back, I will naturally treat her as a Saintess to be cultivated, give her the best resources, and absolutely not mistreat her.”

She attempted to ease the tension and bring the conversation back on track: ”There’s no need for us to be enemies.”

Yun Xiancheng felt the powerful borrowed strength within his body, along with the Medicine Lady’s near-fanatical attachment, and smiled bitterly to himself.

He knew this state couldn’t last. The Medicine Lady was only a soul body, and forcibly pouring her strength into him was a huge drain on her. But the effect he wanted had already been achieved.

He withdrew the terrifying aura around him, and the white hair quickly receded, restoring his original appearance.

He gently rubbed Qing Lin’s head in his arms again, his tone returning to gentleness: ”In that case, Elder Sister in Green Robe, please take a seat.”

He looked at Qing Lin and asked softly, ”Qing Lin, do you understand this Elder Sister’s intentions?”

166: Host and Guest Enjoy Themselves

”Mm... I understand.”

Qing Lin nodded gently. In her jade-green eyes, the initial fear and unease had largely dissipated, replaced by a childlike innocence and... a hint of the slightly precocious understanding typical of her age.

She roughly understood that this powerful Elder Sister in Green Robe was not here to harm her, but wanted to take her back to a place called the ”Heavenly Serpent Mansion,” where she could be properly cultivated and help her Young Master in the future...

She looked at the Woman in Green Robe, a slightly shy smile appearing on her small face. She waved to her and said softly, ”Elder Sister in Green Robe, could you... come over to us?”

The Woman in Green Robe was slightly stunned by this, apparently not understanding the meaning of Qing Lin’s action.

But she still nodded, moving with light steps until she was in front of Qing Lin, bending slightly at the waist to meet the gaze of the petite girl. Qing Lin reached out a small hand, and with a mix of curiosity and boldness, slowly lifted the light veil from the Woman in Green Robe’s face.

A face of peerless Beauty, imbued with a hint of cold elegance, was instantly displayed before everyone. Those narrow eyes were like the purest jade, shimmering with a captivating radiance.

”Elder Sister in Green Robe...” Qing Lin looked at the beautiful face and said earnestly, ”I can go with you.”

As soon as these words left her mouth, a hint of delight flashed in the Woman in Green Robe’s eyes. ”But...”

Qing Lin paused, her jade-green eyes looking at Yun Xiancheng, then turning back to the Woman in Green Robe. Her tone carried a childlike, direct, and astonishing ”logic”:

”I hope you can... become the Young Master’s wife.” ???

This sentence, like a sudden thunderclap, instantly exploded within the banquet hall!

One second ago, they were fiercely confronting each other, a clash of auras! How did they suddenly jump to the topic of ’marriage’ the next second?!

Moreover, the ’target person’ herself actively proposed that the ’snatcher’ marry her ’Dao Protector’?! This leap in logic is far too fast!

”Y-you little girl... What are you saying?!”

At this, even the Woman in Green Robe, who was usually steady and composed, couldn’t help but show a strange expression of shock, even a hint of embarrassment. A faint blush rarely seen appeared on her face.

”Hehe.” Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but laugh lightly, watching Qing Lin’s ”divine assist.” He secretly praised her in his heart: This little girl is truly a clever imp!

She probably figured out that only by making this powerful Elder Sister in Green Robe one of ”their own,” a member of this ”big family,” would she truly have a backer and a trustworthy Dao Protector after arriving at the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

And... this little girl seems to quite enjoy playing matchmaker for him?
