Chapter 520 - 180: Why Him?!
"This mountain was originally named Celestial Origin Mountain, but after being occupied by the Sun and Moon Sect, it was renamed Sun and Moon Mountain."
"Everyone, be careful. The Sun and Moon Sect’s cultivation techniques are mysterious and they’re specialists in traps and schemes. Never act alone."
At the foot of Sun and Moon Mountain, Su Xin was advising a group of disciples.
Most of these disciples were facing the Sun and Moon Sect for the first time, and it’s easy to suffer losses if they are careless.
Shi Ying anxiously said, "Senior Sister Suxin, Junior Sister Zhou has been captured for so long. Let’s hurry up the mountain and rescue her!"
A disciple from Divinity Transformation Peak couldn’t help but whisper, "Senior Brother Shi, weren’t you infatuated with Junior Sister Ruo initially? Why are you now interested in Junior Sister Zhou?"
Immediately, he received a hard chokehold from Shi Ying.
Su Xin had no mind to deal with the disciples’ pranks and said seriously to Little Hammer, "Fairy Su, we’re counting on you."
Sun and Moon Mountain is vast, and if everyone searches blindly, they might not be in time. Now, they had to rely on Fairy Su’s sharp intuition.
Little Hammer hefted a big hammer, pouted, and pointed at Qin Gengyun, "I want him to beg me."
Everyone turned to Qin Gengyun, and Su Xin softly said, "Junior Brother He, for the sake of the two junior sisters, forgive the indignity."
They all thought Su Hongling was trying to vent because she was defeated by Qin Gengyun’s bluff earlier.
Su Xin suggested that Qin Gengyun lower his stance and endure humiliation for the greater good.
To their surprise, Qin Gengyun unceremoniously said to Su Hongling, "Little Hammer, stop fooling around! Hurry up!"
Su Xin and others were shocked, and Shi Ying’s eyes widened. "Good heavens, He Zhiqiu! Even though Junior Sister Zhou holds you in high regard and now, when she is in trouble, you’re unwilling to lower yourself to plead for help?!"
Shi Ying was about to reprimand Qin Gengyun when Su Hongling waved her little fist at Qin Gengyun:
"I can’t stand you!"
After speaking, she turned around and started up the mountain. After taking a couple of steps, she turned back to urge everyone who was still in a daze:
"Let’s go!"
"Uh? Oh."
The group of disciples finally reacted and hurriedly followed, though their minds were filled with various thoughts.
He Zhiqiu was so disrespectful to Fairy Su, yet Fairy Su listened to him.
And judging by their interaction, they seemed like old friends.
Furthermore, there was even a hint of playfulness in Fairy Su’s tone when speaking to He Zhiqiu.
Could it be that they knew each other before?
Or perhaps, the physical collisions earlier caused Fairy Su to be fascinated by He Zhiqiu’s muscles?
Actually, it wasn’t just Fairy Su. Our senior sister Ye Xiyue was even more infatuated with He Zhiqiu, even to the point of being jealous.
So, are the two great fairies of our time actually favoring He Zhiqiu?
Damn it!
Why?!
I can’t accept this!
Everyone looked at Qin Gengyun with complex expressions, especially Chun Ningzhi, whose face was tightly drawn like black carbon.
He Zhiqiu, while flirting with Junior Sister Ruo, you’re also toying with Junior Sister Ye, and meanwhile colluding with Su Hongling.
You, you simply defy all reason!
"Miss, miss, please don’t act rashly, the young master is only doing it to save others."
Meanwhile, Qiu Zhihe also had an unfriendly look in her eyes; compared to the unscrupulous Jian Yue, she was more wary of Su Hongling.
To men, a beauty like Su Hongling who is strong, beautiful but naive is the ultimate temptation.
Besides, Little Hammer, Su Hongling, and their cooperation with her husband seemed like that of old friends, with zero barriers in their conversations, which made others simmer with anger!
Liu Su had already sensed the jealousy emanating from Qiu Zhihe and kept a hold of her, fearing she would pick a fight with Su Hongling on the spot.
Qin Gengyun followed behind Su Hongling, urging her to lead the way properly, when suddenly he felt a cold gaze from behind.
His body stiffened and he turned to look at Qiu Zhihe.
My dear, how could I possibly have any such thoughts about Little Hammer? You must trust me!
Qiu Zhihe’s eyes were piercing, but seeing Qin Gengyun’s pleading, pitiable face, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter, instantly melting the icy demeanor and blooming like a lotus flower.
The couple exchanged flirtatious glances as they hurried along, while others watching got their full.
Liu Su and Mo Xiaolan exchanged a glance and subtly distanced themselves from Qiu Zhihe, avoiding needing to stomach such intensity.
Those female disciples who favored He Zhiqiu appeared melancholic.
"Ruo Mei’s neither as pretty nor as well-built as I am, what does Senior Brother He see in her? Boohoo!"
There were also a few male disciples secretly admiring Ruo Mei, looking uneasily sour.
"He Zhiqiu isn’t as handsome or devoted as I am. What does Junior Sister Ruo see in him? Arghhh!"
"Everyone, take the Yuqing Pill and stay vigilant!"
By this time, everyone had entered Sun and Moon Mountain, and the surrounding area was gradually encased in a dark mist. Su Xin’s expression tensed as she spoke in a serious tone.
Following her instructions, the disciples swiftly consumed the Yuqing Pill, which could defend against poisonous gas, forming an array as they advanced cautiously within the smoky darkness.
Su Hongling carried the big hammer at the forefront, yawning as she pointed to a towering mountain peak on the west side and said, "The scent of those three people is there."
But the dark mist limited visibility, and no one could make out the situation on the mountain peak. Suddenly, some of the weaker cultivators exclaimed:
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, my Spirit Field hurts so much!"
As they spoke, those few disciples were already sweating profusely, unable to even gather Spiritual Power.
Everyone’s expression changed: "The poison in this dark mist is peculiar; the Yuqing Pill can’t fend it off!"
Su Xin instructed loudly, "Everyone, exert full strength to perform the Separating Yang Technique, cover your entire body. It can resist the poisonous mist!"
The disciples hastily obeyed, combining with the previously ingested Yuqing Pill to barely withstand the toxic mist.
However, those poisoned disciples were already immobile, having to rely on their peers to carry them forward.
This time, the disciples from the Zhenyang Sect fully dropped their negligent attitude.
They underestimated Sun and Moon Sect, thinking they could easily rescue the two junior sisters. They hadn’t even caught a glimpse of the enemy yet, but several of their comrades had already fallen.
As Senior Sister Suxin said, the Demon Sect’s methods are indeed elusive and hard to guard against!
Jian Yue, calm and indifferent, said softly, "We must break through the dark mist quickly."
"Junior Sister Ye is right!" The black-browed Chun Ningzhi echoed out of habit.
Several Commanding Disciples gave him a glance, shaking their heads slightly and sighing. Su Xin, concentrating her spiritual energy into her eyes, looked around and suddenly pointed ahead:
"There is a place ahead untouched by the dark mist. Let’s rest briefly before advancing!"
"Senior Sister Suxin has a point!"
"Let’s go quickly!"
Everyone agreed, hastening their pace, running swiftly through the dark mist. After half an incense stick’s burning time, they felt refreshed as they suddenly emerged from the mist, arriving in a valley.
Here, lush trees shaded the area, and the air was clear and refreshing.
The group of disciples let out a sigh of relief, breathing deeply.
Earlier, they were continuously circulating their energy to resist the poison and dared not breathe too heavily. Now, at last, they were out of the mist.
All of a sudden, Qiu Zhihe’s expression tensed, about to speak when Cheng Qingyu already shouted:
"There’s an array here!"
Wei Wan also noticed it, squatting and wiping her slender hand on the ground, instantly revealing a complex pattern of arrays on the surface, causing everyone to gasp sharply after glancing down.
