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

83: Section 83He sighed softly and muttered to himself with a hint of regret, ”Sigh, what a pity. Why aren’t you a Nine-Star Dou Huang?”

If this Woman in Green Robe were a Nine-Star Dou Huang, after dual cultivation with him, the ”Dao Protector” that Qing Lin could rely on after returning to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion would be a genuine One-star Dou Zong!

This would undoubtedly be a tremendous boost to Qing Lin’s growth and development in the early stages.

”You… you… lecher!”

Hearing these inexplicable yet slightly ”disdainful” words from Yun Xiancheng, and recalling his ”regretful” expression just now, the Woman in Green Robe immediately realized that he was teasing her?!

He was actually looking down on her for not being a Nine-Star Dou Huang?!

She was both shy and angry, and couldn’t help but scold, ”You, the Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect! Is this how you… how you tease decent women?! So what if I’m an Eight-Star Dou Huang?! Is it that bad?!”

”Hehe, don’t be angry, don’t be angry.” Seeing her half-angry, half-shy appearance, Yun Xiancheng found it increasingly interesting.

He pondered for a moment, then revealed that gentle and harmless smile again, his tone carrying a hint of negotiation and temptation, ”How about this, Woman in Green Robe. You have been searching for the jade spirit three-flower eye for a long time, so surely you don’t mind a little more time.”

”Why not… stay here with us for a while and keep Qing Lin company. Spend more time with her, get familiar with each other, and perhaps… it wouldn’t be impossible to take her back then?”

His words seemed to be for Qing Lin’s sake, but in reality… he was plotting to take this Eight-Star Dou Huang Beauty into his own pocket!

Yun Ziyi, standing to the side, understood immediately upon hearing Yun Xiancheng’s words. As expected! Her husband still hadn’t let this Beauty in Green Robe go!

However, she did not stop him; she simply retracted her hostility, her face becoming gentle again as she quietly watched the situation unfold.

”In that case…” The Woman in Green Robe listened to Yun Xiancheng’s proposal and began to calculate.

She had been searching for the jade spirit three-flower eye for many years, so she really didn’t mind this little bit of time. Moreover, staying here would allow her to observe this Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect up close, as well as the equally mysterious women around him.

Most importantly… she had developed some curiosity and affection for Qing Lin, this junior with the Sacred Body.

”Very well.” The Woman in Green Robe finally nodded, accepting the proposal, ”Then I shall stay here with you… for a while.”

”Great!” Little Lion and Qing Lin both cheered upon hearing this.

”Since that’s the case, Woman in Green Robe,” Yun Xiancheng’s smile widened, his tone carrying a hint of closeness, ”May I ask for your name?”

”Green Savage.” The Woman in Green Robe replied, and simultaneously reached out to slowly remove the bamboo hat from his head, letting his mass of green hair cascade down like a waterfall.

”Then I shall stay here with you for a while,” he said again, his tone carrying a hint of faint laziness.

Yun Xiancheng nodded and walked over to the other guests who were too scared to move, smiling, ”How was this banquet?”

”With the Young Sect Master hosting, we are all very happy.”

”You may spread the word about this matter, but you must know what can be said and what cannot.” The guests nodded.

But one person stood up and said, ”The Mo Clan harmed the Young Sect Master’s loved ones. The three Young Sect Masters sought revenge for their brother, only to find that the Mo Clan was full of petty thieves and scoundrels. The Young Sect Master acted on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice!”

The guests all felt this explanation was perfect.

Yun Xiancheng nodded, letting them decide their own future. He walked back to the women.

Yun Ziyi had now completely retracted her hostility, revealing a gentle smile on her face and nodding slightly to Green Savage, as a greeting.

Meanwhile, Nalan Yanran had witnessed the entire process of how her Senior Brother, relying on his silver tongue and that momentary Peak Dou Huang aura, had ”tricked” an Eight-Star Dou Huang level gorgeous Beauty into staying of her own free will, step by step.

She was completely stunned, her small mouth slightly agape, looking dazed, her heart filled with disbelief.

”Sister Green Savage,” Yun Xiancheng also came over, his eyes flashing with curiosity as he asked, ”I just don’t know, have you ever eaten a Huangji Pill?”

”Huangji Pill?” Green Savage was slightly stunned, then shook his head, ”Never. My cultivation was all gained through hard work bit by bit; why would I need to use medicinal pills?”

”I can refine one for you,” Yun Xiancheng said with a serious tone.

”Hmm? Really?” Green Savage looked at Yun Xiancheng with some surprise, then asked with some confusion, ”You are willing to refine a sixth-grade medicinal pill for a stranger you just met?”

”Hehe, Sister Green Savage, you are no longer a stranger,” Yun Xiancheng laughed and replied, ”Have you forgotten what Qing Lin said just now?”

Upon hearing this, Green Savage’s mind instantly recalled Qing Lin’s shocking words, ”I hope you can become the Young Master’s wife”… His cheeks once again uncontrollably flushed with a red blush.

”You… you lecher!”

167 Yan Ran will follow by her Senior Brother’s side.

The Mo Tie Mercenary Group’s base was no longer the bloody ruin it once was.

Under Xiao Yan’s personal arrangement, the bodies of all the fallen members were properly collected, and simple yet solemn graves were built for them on this land where they once shed sweat and gave their lives.

On the tombstones were carved their names, as well as the glory of their time in the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

Xiao Yan knelt before the graves of her elder brothers, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, looking at the cold tombstones, her heart filled with mixed feelings. Sorrow, anger, unwillingness… various emotions intertwined, making her originally bright eyes appear exceptionally complex at this moment.

She kowtowed three times heavily, her forehead touching the cold soil, making a dull sound.

Yun Xiancheng stood quietly to the side, watching the girl’s sorrowful figure, his heart also filled with many emotions. He bowed deeply three times to the two new graves to show his respect.

After a long while, when Xiao Yan’s emotions had calmed down slightly, Yun Xiancheng slowly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of heaviness, ”Yan’er, after this matter with the Mo Clan… I now have some changes in my view of the Cloud Mist Sect.”

He paused, his gaze looking deep into the distance, as if penetrating through layers of space to see that Yun Lan Mountain towering into the clouds.

”I have begun to feel that within the Cloud Mist Sect, there may have long been hidden filth, and it faintly shows signs of decline.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan’s delicate body trembled violently, as if she had been startled by these words.

She suddenly raised her head, her tear-stained eyes looking at Yun Xiancheng with disbelief, ”Senior Brother, what are you saying? Are we not the Young Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect? Is Master not the Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect? How could the sect…”

Xiao Yan did not understand why Yun Xiancheng would say such shocking words.

In her heart, the Cloud Mist Sect was the number one sect in the Jia Ma Empire, a sacred and inviolable existence, and Master Yun Yun was an aloof and flawless Sect Leader.

But Yun Xiancheng knew the Cloud Mist Sect too well.

Not to mention that Dou Wang Elder Yun Ling, who clearly had problems with his brain, could actually do such insane things for an outsider like Mo Cheng. Not to mention… that previous Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect who was about to come out of seclusion—Yun Shan!

Yun Xiancheng knew clearly that this Yun Shan, unable to break through to Dou Zong, had no choice but to collude with a Soul Hall Protector to exchange for an increase in his own strength!

Such a sect… such a Sect Leader… it was impossible to stay there any longer!

”What of a Sect Leader? What of a Young Sect Master?” Yun Xiancheng’s tone carried a hint of mockery, ”If not for the death of your eldest and second brothers this time, and us experiencing this Mo Clan matter firsthand, how would we have known about the filth behind the Mo Clan? How could Master… manage the actions of every elder and every disciple within the sect?”

He looked at Xiao Yan, his gaze deep, ”Since its founding, the Cloud Mist Sect has been passed down for ten generations. Its history is so long that it is even longer than the Jia Ma Empire itself. The Jia Ma Empire has experienced changes of dynasties, but our Cloud Mist Sect… has never had that.”

”In these long years, how much unknown filth has accumulated within the sect? How many unspeakable secrets have been hidden? We have no way of knowing.”

Yun Xiancheng calculated in his heart. Now, he had enough strength and reason to question the innocence of the Cloud Mist Sect.

The only difficulty was how to ”abduct” Master Yun Yun and Yan Ran from this sect that was about to decay.

Just at this moment, a beautiful figure slowly walked out from the shadows behind a nearby wall. It was Nalan Yanran.

She had been silently following behind Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan, watching Xiao Yan kneeling before the grave in immense sorrow, and her heart trembled violently.

A strong sense of guilt and pity welled up in her heart; they were connected because of Yun Xiancheng, and their emotions could be transmitted through their family ties.

”I… although I had heard that this person had done some shady business, the investigation was too late. If only I had investigated earlier…”

He looked at Yan Ran, his tone firm, ”You being able to accompany Yan’er at this moment, to take revenge for her, is enough.”

Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran’s self-reproachful appearance, and the hatred in her heart caused by the death of her brothers did not spread to her. She shook her head, indicating she did not blame her, and then, she asked a similarly heavy question:

”Yan Ran, if one day, you discover that the Cloud Mist Sect is truly as Senior Brother said, hiding filth, and even rotting to the bone… you… what would you do?”

Upon hearing this question, a hint of surprise flashed in Nalan Yanran’s clear eyes, but almost without any thought, she gave her answer without hesitation.

Her gaze looked firmly at Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan, her tone resolute, without the slightest hesitation, ”Follow you two.”

”And then… turn it upside down!” This was her choice.

Her loyalty was no longer to that cold sect, but to the two people before her, the ones she cherished the most.

However, just as she finished speaking, Nalan Yanran smiled slightly, seemingly thinking of something, and said in a relaxed tone, ”However, Senior Brother, aren’t you overthinking it?”

”Master is the Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect! With Master here, how could the Cloud Mist Sect rot to that extent?” She looked at Yun Xiancheng with a trace of confusion on her face.

Then, she saw a complex and indescribable expression in Yun Xiancheng’s deep eyes. In that expression, there was helplessness, worry, and determination, but it lacked the certainty and ease she had expected.

”Ah?” The smile on Nalan Yanran’s face froze instantly; she slightly opened her mouth wide, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Could it be that Senior Brother means that even Master cannot stop the decay of the Cloud Mist Sect?

Yun Xiancheng reached out and gently patted her shoulder, his tone gentle yet firm, ”It’s okay, Yan Ran.”

”No matter what happens in the future, no matter if the sky falls… I will carry it for you.”

At this moment, he was already a Dou Ling. And his goal was to improve his strength as quickly as possible and advance to a higher Realm!

Only by possessing absolute power could he protect everything he wanted to protect in the future storms!

”Silly Senior Brother.” Xiao Yan looked at Yun Xiancheng’s broad and solid back, tears shimmering in her eyes.

She reached out and gently hugged his waist, pressing her cheek against his back, her voice carrying a trace of choking, ”We must also grow up quickly, to face the difficulties of the future with you.”

The three Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters, on this land that had just experienced a bloody baptism, hugged each other tightly, enjoying this short and precious moment of warmth.

The road ahead might be full of unknowns. But as long as they were together, they would fear nothing.

168 Outside the Imperial Capital

Outside the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire, in a hidden and deep Cave.

The interior of the Cave dwelling had been carefully arranged by Yun Ziyi, the former ”Master of digging holes.” Although simple, it was well-equipped, enough to accommodate everyone to live and cultivate here temporarily.

Deep inside the Cave, a faint medicinal fragrance permeated the air.

Medicine Lady’s solidified soul body appeared slightly exhausted at this moment. She was holding a medicinal pill in her hand that emitted a rich medicinal fragrance and colorful light, slowly walking towards Yun Xiancheng.

”Thank you for your hard work.” Yun Xiancheng looked at her slightly illusory figure, his eyes filled with heartache.

He stretched out his arm, gently pulled her into his embrace, and lowered his head to kiss her cold yet soft lips.

This kiss carried comfort, heartache, and also a hint of indescribable attachment. After a long while, their lips parted.

”Thank you.” Medicine Lady leaned in his embrace, her voice carrying a trace of fatigue, yet filled with satisfaction.

She raised her hand and gently stroked Yun Xiancheng’s slightly pale cheek, her eyes filled with pity, ”Don’t be so sad, Chenger.”

She knew that he was still worried about the affairs of the Cloud Mist Sect, angry at the death of Xiao Yan’s brothers, and grieving for those lost lives.

”Even if your Cloud Mist Sect really rots away,” Medicine Lady comforted him softly, ”we are all here, aren’t we? We will always be with you, facing everything.”

Medicine Lady’s gentle comfort nourished Yun Xiancheng’s weary soul like sweet dew, allowing his tense spirit to relax slightly.

He took a deep breath, feeling his spirit recover a little. Just at this moment, the stone door of the Cave dwelling was gently pushed open.

A figure dressed in green robes walked in generously. It was Green Savage.

At this moment, he was wearing green robes, without a bamboo hat, displaying his cold and beautiful face completely.

He saw the scene deep inside the Cave, permeated with the auspicious aura of medicinal pills, and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

”Oh? I was wondering why you wouldn’t go in, so you were hiding here refining pills.” Green Savage walked in slowly, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry, ”A sixth-grade medicinal pill… is the commotion when the pill is formed this big? I felt it from outside. Fortunately, the surroundings are quite remote, and no one is nearby.”

Naturally, she could not see Medicine Lady, who was currently leaning in Yun Xiancheng’s embrace and whose soul body had already recovered quite a bit. Yun Xiancheng took the medicinal pill from Medicine Lady’s hand and smiled slightly at Green Savage.

”Sixth-grade high-grade Huangji Pill.” He handed the medicinal pill to Green Savage, his tone calm, ”Please.”

Green Savage looked at the medicinal pill before him, its whole body shimmering with colorful light, emitting a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation. The quality was far superior to any Huangji Pill he had ever seen!

He was convinced that as long as he took this medicinal pill, he would definitely be able to break through the bottleneck that had troubled him for many years and breakthrough to the Peak Dou Huang in one go!

However, he did not immediately take the medicinal pill, but instead looked at Yun Xiancheng with burning eyes, his tone carrying a hint of testing, ”Such a precious medicinal pill… aren’t you going to give it to your dear one?”

Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile flashed in Yun Xiancheng’s eyes.

He reached out, gently held Green Savage’s hand, placed the medicinal pill in his palm, and said in a tone so calm it was as if he were stating a fact, ”You are also one of them.”

”Boom—!” As if a volcano had erupted, white steam puffed out from his face.

His cheeks instantly became as hot as fire, and in those proud eyes, a flash of panic and shame appeared!

”You… you… lecher!” He couldn’t help but scold in a low voice, ”I never agreed… agreed to such a thing!”
