Chapter 485: Chapter 482: Following

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Qu Ying said, ”Your Highness, if I don’t kill a few more demons, I really can’t sleep well or enjoy my meals.”

After experiencing the evil of the Evil Sect’s demons firsthand, she understood why Chu Zhiyuan loathed them so deeply and slaughtered them so mercilessly.

Earlier, when she heard the news on the mountain, she was unconcerned.

She thought his actions were not problematic, but doing it so ostentatiously was likely more for fame.

Now, she had changed her perspective.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her.

Qu Ying quickly said, ”Your Highness, when I was ordered to deliver the sword, I didn’t delay a moment on the way.”

Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but laugh.

Qu Ying laughed along, her face blossoming like a flower.

Chu Zhiyuan thought that having such a beauty by his side was indeed delightful and put him in a better mood.

Every time he saw the Evil Sect’s demons, even if he slew them, negative thoughts would arise within him.

This was not good for his mental state.

Like a clean room marred by cobwebs.

Having a beauty like Qu Ying by his side really helped in adjusting his mental state.

Preventing those negative thoughts from turning into cobwebs, they simply dissipated.

This didn’t involve any romantic feelings, it was purely pleasing to the eye and beneficial for cultivation.

He turned his head to look behind him.

Qu Ying turned her head to look.

In the deep dusk, there was only the expanse, apart from mountains and forests, and the snow on the shaded side, nothing else.

”That young Shao has also caught up with us,” Chu Zhiyuan said. ”Youthful infatuation, indeed.”

How could he not see Shao Feng’s thoughts, they were written all over his face.

This was not surprising.

After all, Qu Ying is a great beauty and from the Flying Sky Sect, a perfect match for the White Cloud Sword Palace.

Qu Ying said, ”Then let’s get moving.”

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, ”A disciple of the White Cloud Sword Palace always deserves some courtesy.”

”Does your Highness need to show face to the White Cloud Sword Palace?”

”I owe the White Cloud Sword Palace a favor, and besides, there’s Master Huang’s reputation to consider,” Chu Zhiyuan said.

”Huang Shiron?” Qu Ying asked.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

Qu Ying said, ”This Miss Huang must be quite formidable, right?”

”Extremely talented and with excellent character,” Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”a dragon among men.”

Qu Ying sighed, ”I’ve longed to meet her, but unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance.”

The youngest Grandmaster of the Four Great Sects, with unparalleled talent.

Even now, with the Martial Arts Hall and Phoenix Camp, no one has broken her record.

It speaks volumes of her extraordinary talent.

As the two spoke, Shao Feng finally caught up, panting heavily.

Qu Ying looked at him crossly.

Shao Feng cupped his fist towards Chu Zhiyuan, ”Your Highness, apologies for the interruption.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Qu lady is going with me to slay the Evil Sect’s demons, are you joining us, young Shao?”

”That’s exactly what I desire!” Shao Feng was beside himself with joy.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Qu Ying.

Qu Ying forced a smile, ”Alright then, let’s go together.”

She was utterly resigned.

She thought to herself, is Huang Shiron’s face value before the princely heir that effective, or is the princely heir merely being cautious?

After catching his breath for a moment, Shao Feng’s heavy breathing eased quickly, returning to normal.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Then let’s continue on the road while we travel and regulate our breath, aiming not to return too late.”

”Where are we heading?”

”Southward, for about an hour,” Chu Zhiyuan said.

With their Qinggong, an hour would cover more than fifty li, possibly over a hundred li.

The four glided along, Zou Fang like a shadow following behind Chu Zhiyuan.

Qu Ying and Shao Feng unconsciously neglected his presence.

Shao Feng remained silent for the first fifteen minutes, focusing on regulating his breath and recovering his energy.

He sighed inwardly.

His cultivation was not as good as Qu Ying’s, especially his longevity in breath was far inferior.

This was somewhat embarrassing.

In that fifteen-minute span, Chu Zhiyuan changed direction three times, again and again, and again.

With each directional shift, they quickly encountered the Evil Sect’s demons.

They were either resting, fighting, or capturing people to devour.

Each time Chu Zhiyuan glanced at them, they perished immediately, as if under the gaze of death.

Qu Ying couldn’t help but praise.

She knew it was a secret technique, but also understood that since it was a secret technique, he naturally wouldn’t want to talk about it.

Even so, Qu Ying couldn’t resist launching an attack, wanting to kill the Evil Sect’s demons herself.

Chu Zhiyuan would not give in, directly taking their lives, leaving no chance for Qu Ying.

But Qu Ying never gave up, continuing to fight for the kill.

On the third attempt, Chu Zhiyuan left one Evil Sect demon for her.

Her spirit soared, her sword light surged, and in a sudden burst, she swiftly slew the opponent.

She leaned on her sword to catch her breath, her jade-like face flushed, her eyes shining.

Those three sword strokes were the ultimate moves she’d kept hidden, finally brought forth.

She could tell that Chu Zhiyuan didn’t want to waste time, striving to kill as many Evil Sect demons as possible in the shortest time.

So she could only use her hidden ultimate moves.

Chu Zhiyuan pursed his lips.

Zou Fang floated forward, flicked his duster, and wrapped the cloth of one of the eight, retrieving a small delicate statue.

Grasping it, he presented it to Chu Zhiyuan with both hands.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction, ”At last, a bit of a gain.”

This statue was unprecedented, with two faces, one serene and one wrathful.

He tucked the palm-sized statue into his sleeve, placing it within the Iron Ring.

”Your Highness seeks this?” Qu Ying inquired.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded, ”Does your sect have any?”

Qu Ying nodded, ”I’ve seen some, gathering dust in corners.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”I can use them to sense the Evil Sect’s demons.”

Qu Ying quickly replied, ”Then when I return, I’ll send them over.”

Chu Zhiyuan’s face lit with a smile, ”Thank you very much.”

Qu Ying smiled sweetly, ”It is an honor to aid your Highness in exterminating the Evil Sect’s demons.”

She turned to the silent Shao Feng, ”Your White Cloud Sword Palace has them too, right?”

Shao Feng replied, ”Sister Huang has already given them to his Highness.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

Qu Ying said, ”Your Highness, you should have told us earlier, the sect wouldn’t have been so stingy as to refuse.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled without speaking.

The relationship with the Flying Sky Sect wasn’t that congenial, Lu Donghu wasn’t an idiot.

It was likely he guessed the Secret Land had already been leaked to him.

Still, delivering this sword indicated they had yielded and sought to improve relations with him.

Given the current clear situation, the entire Imperial Family only had himself hopeful of inheriting the throne.

So far, no one could challenge him.

Unless Ten Uncle reached the rank of Great Grandmaster, only then could the situation change.

Ten Uncle had failed to become a Great Grandmaster for years, diminishing external confidence in him more and more.

”Your Highness, the Sect Master said you excel in both sword and sword techniques, with swordsmanship unparalleled and sword technique rarely seen,” Qu Ying said. ”How was my sword technique just now?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Quite good.”

Shao Feng quickly agreed, ”Indeed, it was excellent sword technique, far beyond my level.”

This earned him a glaring look from Qu Ying.

She was asking the princely heir, not him.

Shao Feng smiled awkwardly.

Chu Zhiyuan was not fond of being a teacher and didn’t have the habit of casually guiding others.

The disciples of the Flying Sky Sect have their own sword technique inheritance and don’t need outsiders to comment.

Qu Ying was not willing to give up, ”Isn’t there anything to improve?”

”The proficiency is lacking, practice more,” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Qu Ying sighed helplessly.

Shao Feng quickly said, ”His Highness is absolutely right, if the proficiency is lacking, then practice more.”

Qu Ying shot him a sideways glance.

Shao Feng quickly closed his mouth, offering an apologetic smile.

Chu Zhiyuan looked ahead into the distance. ”Let’s move on, continue.”

The eight corpses had already swiftly turned into eight skeletons, yet they had no intention of burying them.

These Evil Sect demons, to be exposed to the wilderness is only fitting, not turning them into dust was already merciful.

”Your Highness, I have a small question, I’m not sure if I should ask.”

Sheathing her sword as she spoke, Qu Ying performing Qinggong and rushing while speaking.

She followed on Chu Zhiyuan’s left, while Shao Feng was on her left.

Zou Fang trailed behind everyone.

The four trod on the treetops drifting into the distance.
