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

232: Section 232For a moment, blood flowed everywhere. These ordinary disciples slaughtered each other in the chaos, blood staining the gutters.

As for the several direct descendants who were closest to Mo Cheng and had participated in many of the family’s ”dark affairs” on a daily basis, they knew deep down that they were already firmly tied to Mo Cheng. No matter what, it was impossible for them to receive forgiveness from the Cloud Mist Sect!

They chose to unite around Mo Cheng.

Rather than waiting for death, it was better to... fight to the death!

These few Mo family descendants, whose cultivation had also reached the Great Dou Master level, had a flash of madness and determination in their eyes. With a roar, they also joined the fray, alongside Mo Cheng, and fiercely attacked Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan!

However, everyone knew in their hearts.

The final outcome of this battle would not be decided by the struggle between these Dou Ling and Great Dou Masters below. Instead... it would be that white-robed youth who had sat calmly in the main seat from beginning to end, leisurely sipping fragrant tea!

”Hmph! As long as... as long as we can hold out until the other elders arrive! We might not be without a chance!” Mo Cheng had long since torn off his mask of simple honesty, his face now covered in contortion and ruthlessness!

He calculated viciously in his heart: ”Although these three youngsters have noble status, their cultivation is limited after all! As long as the several Dou Ling elders of our Mo family arrive together, we might be able to keep them all here! When the time comes, at worst, we’ll abandon this foundation in Yan City and migrate to another empire! As long as the green mountains remain, one need not worry about firewood!”

Clinging to this last hope, Mo Cheng’s strikes became increasingly ruthless, every move aiming for the vital points of Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan, attempting to end the battle quickly! However, reality was cruel.

Even if he was a genuine Dou Ling Expert, and even with several direct descendants of the Great Dou Master level assisting from the side.

Under the combined pincer attack of Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan—two of the Cloud Mist Sect’s favored daughters who possessed superior techniques, held refined weapons, and were equally rich in combat experience—

he still felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness!

How could this be?!

Clearly his realm was higher! Clearly his numbers were greater!

How... how could he be suppressed and beaten by these two young girls?! This was illogical!

Mo Cheng’s heart was filled with a mixture of shock and anger, yet he remained completely baffled.

But he still held a sliver of hope—the Mo family had more than just him as a Dou Ling! As long as the other Dou Ling elders arrived in time, there was still room to salvage everything!

Just as Mo Cheng was struggling to hold on, constantly praying in his heart,

a crisp and pleasant female voice, tinged with a hint of laziness and playfulness, rang out at the banquet hall entrance without warning: ”Hehe... it seems I’ve happened upon a good show today.”

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a mysterious woman dressed in a green robe, wearing a wide bamboo hat with her face obscured by a layer of hazy light gauze, her figure graceful and curvaceous,

slowly walking into the banquet hall.

Her steps seemed slow, yet it was as if she were shrinking the earth into inches; in the blink of an eye, she had already reached the center of the hall.

Then, she lightly tossed her jade-like hand. ”Thud! Thud! Thud!”

Several heads, still dripping with fresh blood and with expressions of shock and disbelief remaining on their faces, were tossed casually onto the smooth floor of the banquet hall like broken hemp sacks!

Blood instantly dyed the floor red, adding a few more heart-stopping bloody notes to this already oppressive birthday banquet! ”Second Elder?! Third Elder?! And... Fifth Elder?!”

After Mo Cheng clearly saw the faces of those heads, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his pupils suddenly dilating to the extreme! The color drained from his face! How... how was this possible?!

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

The immense shock and despair instantly crushed his last line of mental defense! And it was at this very moment when his mind faltered!

Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan seized this fleeting opening! Two peerlessly sharp attacks fell simultaneously like lightning! ”Puh-wah!”

Mo Cheng didn’t even have time to let out a scream before he was struck into critical condition by their combined blow! Blood sprayed wildly as he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, smashing heavily against the wall, his life or death unknown!

”Alright, the bothersome flies have been cleared out.” At the main seat, Yun Xiancheng slowly stood up, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. ”Since my honored guest has arrived, this room... should also be thoroughly cleaned.”

He did not personally take action, but simply held his sword and focused his mind! In an instant, majestic Dou Qi surged out from within his body!

Five longswords, shimmering with a chilling green glow and condensed entirely from pure Dou Qi, were generated out of thin air, hovering before him! ”Go.”

Following his command,

the five green longswords, as if possessing life, turned into five streaks of light. With the sharp sound of breaking air, they instantly pierced the throats of those few Mo family descendants who were still putting up a desperate resistance!

Immediately afterward, the sword light turned and mercilessly slashed toward the dying Mo Family Head, Mo Cheng, who was slumped in the corner! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Blood sprayed wantonly like fountains! It stained the walls, stained the carpet, and stained the terror-stricken faces of all the guests present!

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

At this moment, Yun Ziyi’s figure quietly appeared beside Yun Xiancheng like a ghost, holding the two cute little lolis, Qing Lin and Yun Yan, in her arms.

Her gaze fell upon the Woman in Green Robe who had just tossed the heads, a hint of vigilance in her eyes. ”It’s fine, Ziyi,” Yun Xiancheng waved his hand, signaling her not to be nervous, ”This person is my guest. Since the nuisances have been cleared out, then...”

He sat back down in the main seat, picked up the wine cup on the table, raised it toward the Woman in Green Robe from afar, and said loudly, ”Let the feast begin!”

The Mo family maids, who were already trembling with fear and hiding in the corners, heard the command. Although they were terrified, they did not dare to disobey.

Enduring their inner horror and nausea, their legs trembling, they carefully stepped over the still-warm corpses of the Mo Family Head and the direct descendants.

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

The mysterious Woman in Green Robe chuckled at the sight, seemingly indifferent to the bloody and eerie scene before her.

She walked to the guest of honor’s seat on her own, sat down elegantly, and also picked up the wine cup in front of her, toasted Yun Xiancheng from afar, her voice carrying a hint of playfulness and admiration:

”Giggle... You, this ’pretty boy’ of the Cloud Mist Sect, are actually much more interesting than I imagined.”

165 Feasting the True Guest

”Sister Qingyi has come from afar, travel-worn. As the local host, I, Xiancheng, have failed to sweep the path and welcome you in advance; it is truly disrespectful. Just now, it happened that I was handling some trivial family matters and accidentally let Sister see a joke. Witnessing such a filthy and bloody scene is truly a sin.”

Yun Xiancheng had a gentle and refined smile on his face as he raised his cup toward the mysterious Woman in Green Robe from afar, his words sincere. ”Here, this younger brother first offers an apology to Sister.”

His words were flawless, showing his identity as the host while expressing apology, downplaying the bloody massacre just now as ”trivial family matters,” appearing calm and possessed of extraordinary bearing.

However, although Yun Xiancheng acted so elegantly and appropriately, the several ”wives” beside him were far from being as relaxed as he was when facing this uninvited green-robed ”honored guest.”

Especially Yun Ziyi!

As an expert of the same level, she could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within this Woman in Green Robe, which was not at all inferior to her own! An Eight-Star Dou Huang!

However... setting aside strength, this person could indeed be considered a rare Beauty.

Her figure was graceful and her temperament mysterious. Although her face was covered by light gauze, just the half-pair of phoenix eyes and the faint outline revealed were enough to invite imagination. It was just... why did Yun Xiancheng know this person? And he even seemed to have anticipated her arrival?

Yun Xiancheng naturally knew that this person was the elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion who took Qing Lin away in the original work; he hadn’t expected her to come as well.

”Heehee...” The Woman in Green Robe let out a burst of silver-bell-like laughter, her voice crisp and pleasant, yet carrying an inscrutable meaning: ”Brother being so polite actually makes me, your sister... a bit embarrassed.”

She did not stand up to return the gesture, but simply held her wine cup and gestured toward Yun Xiancheng across the air.

”I’ve slaughtered half of this family for you. You won’t blame your sister, will you?” Yun Xiancheng’s smile remained unchanged.

”Then I must thank Sister for helping me clean the house.”

Then, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone suddenly shifted, cutting straight to the point: ”Sister’s visit this time is presumably... for the sake of Qing Lin?”

He frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Qing Lin, who was holding his arm tightly with a pale face and eyes full of fear. He continued, ”Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils... such a legendary sacred pupil, the faction Sister belongs to must have searched for it for a long time. Now that you’ve finally learned of its appearance, naturally...”

”...you are unwilling to let this opportunity slip away easily.”

”Oh?” Hearing this, the Woman in Green Robe’s hand holding the wine cup paused slightly. A hint of surprise flashed in her phoenix eyes beneath the light veil.

”It seems... Brother, you know quite a bit more than Sister imagined.” She no longer hid it and nodded frankly in admission.

”That’s right! We have been tracking news of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils for a hundred years! Not long ago, I accidentally overheard news of these pupils appearing in the Tagor Desert, so I rushed over to investigate immediately.”

”Coincidentally, I also learned that the Yan City Mo Family seemed to have their eyes on this child, even going as far as secretly purging the Mo Tie Mercenary Group... I concluded that you all,”

”who are associated with the Mo Tie Mercenary Group and this child, would definitely come for revenge.”

She gave Yun Xiancheng an appreciative look. ”Now it seems, it was exactly as I expected. Brother, you haven’t disappointed Sister.”

”Young Master.” Qing Lin was scared out of her wits, her small body trembling violently like a sieve. She clung to Yun Xiancheng’s arm as if it were her only lifeline.

Yun Xiancheng rubbed her small head soothingly and looked up. His gaze calmly met the Woman in Green Robe’s. Though his tone was gentle, it carried a hint of unquestionable firmness.

”Sister Qingyi, you see it too. My little cutie here doesn’t seem to want to leave me very much.”

”Oh? Really?” Upon hearing this, the Woman in Green Robe smiled slightly. There was a playful glint in her smile, but also an undeniable dominance!

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

The air seemed to freeze, and tables and chairs trembled slightly. The guests and maids who were already shivering were pressed directly to the ground by this pressure, finding even breathing difficult!

Looking at this posture, she actually intended... to use force directly to snatch Qing Lin away?! ”Presumptuous!”

At that moment, a cold, feminine shout rang out!

Yun Ziyi stood up abruptly from her seat, also showing no weakness as she released the terrifying aura of an Eight-Star Dou Huang!

Purple energy flames blazed around her. A domineering and peerless kingly pressure, like a waking giant beast, fiercely met the Woman in Green Robe’s aura!

Two terrifying pressures of the same level collided and clashed violently in mid-air! Silent but heart-stopping ripples of energy pulsed out! ”You can... try it!”

Yun Ziyi’s eyes were cold as knives, locking onto the Woman in Green Robe. Her tone was grim, filled with undisguised hostility and killing intent. That sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the soul, making the guests present feel as if their hearts were pierced by arrows, chilled to the bone!

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense! A world-shaking battle between Dou Huangs seemed imminent! ”Hehe... Sister Qingyi, why such haste?”

In this critical moment of tense confrontation, Yun Xiancheng remained as calm as a light breeze, even laughing. ”Sister, I know a thing or two about the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.”

”If you take Qing Lin back, you will surely treat her as a treasure, cultivating her carefully. If she performs well, she might even be established as the next Saintess, right? But Sister, your current impatient appearance, not even hesitating to use force to snatch her, looks to outsiders as if... you aren’t inviting a”

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

He paused, his tone suddenly becoming serious, his eyes staring intently at the Woman in Green Robe. ”If you really insist on using such forceful means to take Qing Lin from my hands...”

The smile on Yun Xiancheng’s face disappeared completely, replaced by a heart-palpitating coldness! ”Then I might have to make Sister pay a price!”

As his words fell, the aura on Yun Xiancheng’s body suddenly underwent a world-shaking change!

Originally only at the Dou Ling realm, his aura began to climb at an incredible speed! Among his black hair, strands of white hair, like snowflakes, quietly grew and spread!

Meanwhile, deep in his invisible sea of consciousness, Medicine Lady’s solid soul body was hugging him tightly, pouring all her power into his body without reservation!

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

Medicine Lady said with a comfortable expression in Yun Xiancheng’s mind. ”Peak... Peak Dou Huang?!”

Feeling the terrifying aura that suddenly erupted from Yun Xiancheng, even faintly surpassing the Dou Huang realm, the composure on the Woman in Green Robe’s face vanished without a trace! Replaced by unbelievable horror!

This... how is this possible?!

Just a moment ago, he was clearly just a mere Dou Ling! How could he, in the blink of an eye, erupt with an aura comparable to a Peak Dou Huang, or even stronger?! Even that Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect isn’t a Peak Dou Huang yet, right? The Young Sect Leader already is?

Massive shock caused a strong wariness to arise in the Woman in Green Robe’s heart. Right now, she was no match; she couldn’t use force.

She immediately withdrew her aura, a slightly stiff smile forced back onto her face, and her tone became much softer. ”Hehe, Young Sect Leader, please calm your anger, calm your anger...”

”Didn’t you say so yourself? Qing Lin’s jade spirit three-flower eye is the Sacred Body of my Heavenly Serpent Mansion. After I take her back, I will naturally cultivate her as a Saintess, give her the best resources, and never mistreat her.”

She tried to ease the atmosphere and bring the conversation back on track. ”There is no need for us to be enemies.”

Yun Xiancheng felt the borrowed powerful force in his body and Medicine Lady’s almost crazy attachment, and he smiled bitterly to himself.

He knew this state couldn’t last. Medicine Lady was, after all, just a soul body. Forcing her power into him was a huge drain on her. But the effect he wanted had already been achieved.

He withdrew that terrifying aura, the white hair quickly receded, and he returned to his original appearance.

He rubbed the head of Qing Lin in his arms again, his tone returning to gentle. ”In that case, Sister Qingyi, please have a seat.”

He looked at Qing Lin and asked softly, ”Qing Lin, do you understand this sister’s intention?”

166 Both Host and Guest Are Happy

”Mm... I understand.”

Qing Lin nodded gently. In her jade-green eyes, the initial fear and unease had mostly dissipated, replaced by a child-like innocence and... a hint of a slightly precocious clarity belonging to her age.

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

She looked at the Woman in Green Robe, a slightly shy smile appearing on her small face. She waved her hand at her and said softly, ”Sister Qingyi, can you... come to our side?”

Hearing this, the Woman in Green Robe was slightly stunned, seemingly not understanding the intent behind Qing Lin’s action.

But she still nodded, moving with light steps to stand before Qing Lin, bowing slightly to be at eye level with the petite girl. Qing Lin reached out her small hand, and with a hint of curiosity and boldness, she slowly removed the light veil from the Woman in Green Robe’s face.

An exquisitely beautiful face with a hint of cold elegance was instantly revealed to everyone. Those narrow eyes, like the purest jade, sparkled with soul-stirring light.

”Sister Qingyi...” Qing Lin looked at this beautiful face and said seriously, ”I can go with you.”

At these words, a flash of joy appeared in the Woman in Green Robe’s eyes. ”But—”

Qing Lin paused, her jade-green eyes looking at Yun Xiancheng, then back to the Woman in Green Robe, her tone carrying a child’s unique, direct, and startling logic.

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

These words, like a sudden thunderclap, instantly exploded in the banquet hall!

Just a second ago, they were at each other’s throats, their auras clashing! How could they, in the next second, jump directly to the matter of ”getting married”?!
