Just as the giant crocodile was about to launch an attack, it saw a woman riding a sword hovering above its head. It didn't care who this woman was, but it couldn't stand her cold gaze. It sucked in a mouthful of river water and spat it at the woman in the air.
"Be careful!" Xue Yan shouted from the boat while Han Ye and Yun Meng watched nervously as the thick water column rushed towards the purple-robed woman.
However, the woman did not panic at all when she saw the water pillar coming. She only shook the purple shadow, and the water pillar passed through her body as if it had not touched anything and shot into the sky.
"Ah?" The alligator demon's mouth was wide open in shock, and it took a long time for it to recover from its shock. At this moment, the purple-robed woman's figure that had been hit by the water pillar dissipated. Her true body flashed ten feet away like a water moon phantom. She snorted coldly and said to the alligator demon,"A small trick that only makes one laugh."
When the people of Yangzhou saw the woman on the shore, they thought that she had summoned a clone, but they did not know that she had only used a rather profound movement technique.
Others might not know, but Han Ye was very clear. He looked at the purple-robed woman in the air with hazy eyes in the beauty's arms. His beautiful eyebrows slightly narrowed as he whispered,"Is this the third technique of the Swift Shadow Steps, the Illusion Moon Technique? As…as expected…"
Yun Meng didn't know what Han Ye was talking about, but when she looked up at the purple-robed woman, she felt a sense of familiarity.
The purple-robed woman pointed at the giant crocodile and said," You alligator demon, you've been harming the people of Yangzhou for quite some time now. You've even attracted so many evil spirits to help you. How despicable!" After I take you in and seal you into the Shifter Sealing Pagoda, I will return peace to the people of Yangzhou!”
After saying that, the purple-robed woman made a sword gesture with her right hand and raised it above her head. Then, she drew a big circle with her hand as the center. Then, the purple-robed woman placed her right hand in front of her chest and quickly recited the scriptures. Many qi swords gradually formed above her head. The qi swords followed the trajectory that the woman's right hand had drawn, and they formed a circle like a peacock spreading its tail. Finally, they formed a grand sword circle with the purple-robed woman as the center!
The man and the sword stood in the middle of the sword circle. The moonlight and the river wind complemented each other. It was a magnificent sight. This was the Hundred Qi Consecutive Sword of the Shu Mountain's 'Myriad Sword Technique'.
"Go!" The purple-robed woman pointed her finger at the surface of the river, and the Qi swords flew out from the sword circle one after another, piercing into the water like arrows. With a swoosh, water splashed everywhere. Hundreds of powerful Qi swords fell like rain, instantly defeating the enemies below. Four or five swords pierced through the alligator demons 'bodies, while the rest were blasted into the bodies of the Ghost's Domain. How could the three-legged Ghost's Domain withstand such an attack? They struggled painfully and floated to the surface. Seeing that all the demons had lost their ability to move, the purple-robed woman seized the opportunity to take down the gourd from her waist. She opened the lid, held the mouth of the gourd with her left hand and pointed it at the river surface. She made a sword gesture with her right hand and pointed at the demons. The demons, including the alligators, turned into demonic mist and were sucked into the gourd.
After putting the demon into the gourd, the purple-robed woman closed the lid and kept the gourd at her waist. She was about to fly away on her sword when she looked down at the man in Yun Meng's arms. She seemed to have sensed something and flew down on her sword. She asked Yun Meng with her cold eyes,""Miss, the man in your arms…"
Hearing this, Yun Meng's eyes widened slightly. However, she couldn't bow to the weak Han Ye in her arms, so she said to the purple-robed woman,""Thank you for your help. He is my friend.”
The purple-robed woman looked at the two of them indifferently, then looked at the canal that reflected the moon, and said coldly,"This isn't the place to talk, girl. Let's go ashore first.”
"Yes." Yun Meng nodded and responded gently. Then, she returned to the shore with the purple-robed woman. At this moment, Xue Yan had also disembarked from the boat. The four of them started chatting under the crowd of people's praises.
The purple-robed woman sheathed her sword and looked at Han Ye with a pair of clear, frosty eyes. There was a faint worry and tenderness between her brows as she said coldly,""Do you…recognize me?"
Han Ye didn't say anything, but Yun Meng held him up and protected him with her warm body fragrance. His heart was filled with warmth. He looked at the mysterious woman who was as cold as ice and frowned."Forgive me for my poor memory, but we don't seem to have met before…"
Xue Yan and Situ Yunmeng both looked at Han Ye and then at each other. They did not know what was going on. The purple-robed woman looked at the moon in the night sky. Gong Huamei locked her eyes and sighed."The curtain of the sky is Han (Han) Ye, who is swept up in the cycle of reincarnation and lovesickness…sigh.”
For some reason, Han Ye felt a little emotional when he heard the purple-robed woman's words. He said,""As expected of a cultivator from Mount Shu. Not only are your mantras extraordinary, but your words are also worrying.”
The purple-robed woman's cold eyes revealed a trace of surprise. She stared at Han Ye and said indifferently,""How do you know that I am a disciple of Mount Shu?"
"Just based on two points." "Firstly, the movement technique and zhenqi you used to subdue the demons are all secret techniques of Mount Shu," Han Ye said calmly. Secondly, you used the gourd to capture the demons and the tower to seal them. Everyone knows that this is a common method used by Mount Shu. These two points are enough to prove that you are from Mount Shu.”
"As expected, it's completely different from before.”The purple-robed woman said something that no one understood before introducing herself,"That's right, I'm from Mount Shu, and I'm Elder Wandering of Mount Shu. My name is Cang Yue.”
"Cang Yue!" Han Ye's eyes widened when he heard that. Even the two girls beside him didn't know why Han Ye was so surprised. Han Ye recalled the past and asked Cang Yue,""Senior, do you remember the King of Hell, Zhang Kuo?”
"Him? Humph." Cang Yue's face revealed some anger and melancholy as she said,""How can I not remember him?" A moment later, she asked Han Ye,""How is he now?"
When Han Ye heard this, his eyes gradually dimmed. He lowered his head slightly and said,""He passed away eight years ago.”
"Dead? Death will be a relief." Cang Yue looked up at the moon and sighed, as if she was reminiscing about something. However, she felt that something was wrong, so she looked at Han Ye coldly and asked,"How did you know?"
" Because..." Han Ye recalled the past, and waves of pain came to his heart again." Because I saw him leave with my own eyes…He sacrificed himself to save me…He's my master…" Han Ye's words were a little intermittent. He sighed bitterly and shook his head, unwilling to continue. Yun Meng and Xue Yan were more or less concerned about his feelings.
" Ye..." Yun Meng tightened her grip on Han Ye's hand. She frowned and shared the man's sorrow."How much pain is in your heart? I'm willing to share it with you.”
Xue Yan looked at Han Ye's pained expression and frowned."This stupid fool doesn't usually tell me. Now, it seems that he's even more pitiful than me.”
Cang Yue thought about Han Ye's words carefully. After a while, she looked at Han Ye with a rather understanding gaze and said,""I understand your feelings for him, but Zhang Kuo used his life to exchange for yours, which is to repay the unfulfilled master-disciple relationship from his previous life…He has always valued his master very much. When he knows that you want to help him walk the right path, he might feel very gratified.”
"The unfulfilled master-disciple relationship from the previous life?" Han Ye didn't understand what she meant, and he didn't intend to ask this frosty woman in front of him.
"It's getting late. I should leave too.”Cang Yue turned around and unsheathed her sword. She stepped on the sword and said to Han Ye as she was about to fly away,""If fate allows it, we will meet again. Don't ask about the past, only cherish the present. Cherish the people around you, Han Ye.”After saying that, she flew to the horizon on her sword.
Han Ye, Yun Meng, and Xue Yan looked at each other after hearing Cang Yue's words. They did not understand what she had said before she left.
"Changkong." The pale moon reflected the night breeze over Yangzhou, and her frosty eyes actually became misty. She frowned at Gong Huamei and complained in her heart,""Don't you think you're going overboard? The person has already left, but you still want me to find your feelings in him.”
As she thought about it, Cang Yue furrowed her brows, which were filled with sadness and resentment."Changkong, you scoundrel! You left when I could never forget you…"
The vast sky could not give anything, nor could the starry night sky. Cang Yue could only ride the wind and reminisce the past sadly, while the purple sword drew a shallow scar in the night sky...
When it came to Yangzhou, the local people were very happy. Many of them wanted to see Situ Yunmeng's beautiful face. Han Ye and Xue Yan had benefited a lot from her presence.
Since they had done a good deed, people couldn't help but praise them. When it was time for them to stay, the inn didn't ask for their money and only arranged three rooms for them to show their respect.
The three of them went to their own rooms to rest. Among the three of them, Han Ye felt the most tired. For some reason, after he used the strange curse on the strange sword, his Xuan Yuan True Qi was consumed very quickly, and his consciousness became very blurry. When he entered the guest room and sat down, Han Ye felt that the world was spinning. He thought that drinking some Drunken Immortal Drink might keep him awake, but after drinking a few mouthfuls, he felt more and more absent-minded.
"Sigh, I wanted to talk to Yun Meng, but it seems like I have to rest first.”When Han Ye thought of tomorrow, he was suddenly filled with anticipation. That's right, Yun Meng was already by his side. Was he afraid that she would disappear the next day?
Thus, Han Ye fell into a deep sleep on the bed. At the same time, Xue Yan was still tossing and turning in the room next door. It was not that she had too much energy, but because so many things had happened today. Every time those thoughts flashed through her mind, her heart would palpitate. How could she sleep?
Since she couldn't fall asleep, she might as well go out for a walk. Xue Yan pushed open the door and walked to the corridor. With the help of the lights in the corridor, she saw a person. It was Situ Yunmeng, who was standing quietly in front of Han Ye's room. She saw that the beauty had her hands on her abdomen and her pair of jade eyes were staring at the guest room door.
"You?" Xue Yan called out to Yun Meng in surprise.
"Ah?" Yun Meng was startled. She turned around and saw Xue Yan. She gradually stopped her eyes from widening and said softly,""Yan 'er, are you still awake?"
"Of course I can't sleep." Xue Yan shrugged helplessly and asked Yun Meng,""Why aren't you sleeping? Miss Situ?"
"Just call me Yun Meng." Yun Meng opened her gentle eyes and said to Xue Yan,""I wanted to see him, but he seemed to be sleeping soundly. I don't know if I should disturb him..."
"So you've been standing here?”Xue Yan looked at Yun Meng with a surprised and slightly exaggerated expression. Seeing her nod, she held her forehead and sighed,""Oh my god! I thought that idiot was dumb enough, but Yun Meng was even dumber than him.”
Yun Meng was never angry at what others said about her. She asked Xue Yan,""Yan 'er, why do you always say that Ye is a fool?”
"Is he still not going to stay?" Xue Yan sighed and turned around. She bent over and leaned against the railing of the corridor. She rested her chin on her hand and looked into the distance with her bright eyes. She said unhappily,"He's so boring. I've been following him for more than ten days and rarely heard him say anything. He's always drinking alone and has a stomach full of bitterness.”
" Is that so…" Yun Meng turned around and looked into the distance with Xue Yan. She put her fair hands on the railing and asked Xue Yan,""By the way, did you guys just know each other?”
"Yes, I am." Xue Yan raised her eyebrows and sighed." I cheated him of some money before. Then, I ran into some trouble. He let go of the past and helped me out. I saw that he was a good person and alone, so I decided to travel the martial world with him!" He had no friends and his master had passed away. Now that he thought about it, he was indeed quite pitiful.”
Xue Yan's words silenced the two ladies, especially Yun Meng. When she thought about how Han Ye had been alone for the past eight years, her heart ached and tears welled up in her eyes. After a while, Xue Yan felt that the atmosphere was too heavy. She nudged Yun Meng with her elbow and asked,""Hey! Yunmeng, I want to ask you something."
"Hmm?" Yun Meng came back to her senses and wiped her tears with her sleeves. She said to Xue Yan,""Thank you for accompanying him for more than ten days.”
Xue Yan glanced at the beauty and lowered her head to think for a while. Then, she asked in a somewhat shy and somewhat nervous manner,""Hmm…Yun Meng, you said that you are the daughter of the first hall master of the Howling Sword Hall, and he is the son of the second hall master of the Howling Sword Hall.”
Hearing this, Yun Meng was stunned. She looked at Xue Yan for a while, then raised her sleeve and smiled.
Yun Meng's smile was enough to topple a country, and her voice was like flowing water. Xue Yan liked her smile very much, but she had to ask with a slightly red face,""What are you laughing at? I see that you two are so close, and your ages are similar. Moreover, marriage alliances are common in this sect!”
"Marriage…?" After laughing, Yun Meng gradually calmed down and even felt a little sad. She frowned and sighed,""How good would it be if we were really engaged before we were born…?”As she spoke, she even imagined her and Han Ye's wedding. She couldn't help but lower her head and put her hands on the railing, her pretty face turning pink.
Xue Yan looked at Yun Meng and sighed,""You're so nice to that idiot, he's lucky to know you.”
" Don't you treat him well?" Yun Meng looked at Xue Yan and smiled.”
" I…" Xue Yan blushed at Yun Meng's words, and then she quickly argued,""I'm not being nice to him! I'm just afraid that I'll spend money to buy a coffin for him after he dies. Otherwise, I won't bother with him!”Xue Yan pointed at Han Ye's room.
Yun Meng was amused by Xue Yan again. She smiled and said,""Yan 'er is really funny."
Then, the two girls began to talk about Han Ye, and the night passed...
The next day.
He didn't know what time it was, but he heard the noise of people on the street. The short sunlight shining through the window was a little hot. Han Ye moved his fingers and gradually woke up from his sleep. He heard the voices outside the window and felt the slight heat in the room. He sat up and packed his luggage.
"I've slept for so long. Yun Meng and Xue Yan must have woken up long ago, right?”Han Ye pushed open the door and went to Yun Meng's room to look for her. He saw Yun Meng and Xue Yan sleeping in each other's arms. The two of them, one was an orchid carrying a kingfisher, and the other was a beautiful swallow carrying a delicate dragon. It was like a pure white phoenix bumping into a petite pink phoenix, causing a burst of fragrance and sweetness.
Han Ye looked at their sweet sleeping postures and thought that they must have chatted for a long time last night. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently,""Alright, the road is still long anyway. Let's wait for them to wake up before we set off.”
As he spoke, Han Ye took a sip of wine and walked out of the door. He carefully closed the door, but there was a strong warmth in his heart that could not be melted...
