Boom...
Buzz...
Several Sword Sect immortal boats passed over the towering walls of Heavenly Sorrow City, hovering a hundred feet above the streets.
Nearly a thousand Moon Shadow Sword Sect members flew down from the decks of the immortal boats like divine soldiers descending from heaven. Following the Elders and Senior brothers, they went street by street to clear out the demonic cultivators who came here to seek refuge.
Although many demonic cultivators still chose to resist, now that the city gates had been breached and Gong Yue had fallen, the remaining city guards and Nascent Soul-stage Elders would inevitably be unable to save the situation.
It was only a matter of time before the Sword Sect flag would rise on the walls of Heavenly Sorrow City.
The doors and windows of the bedroom behind the Blood Prison Mansion were closed, and the tables, chairs, and screens were lying on the ground in all directions. The books on the bookshelf were also scattered in the corner as if they had been looted by someone.
Ye Anping was sitting cross-legged on the bed at this moment, his eyes closed, and his mind focused.
Gu Mingxin and Feng Yu Die sat on either side of him, one of them using spiritual medicine to clean the bruises and wounds on Ye Anping's body, while the other slowly passed the Spring Phase spiritual energy into his body. They each performed their duties, and it was rare that they didn't glare at each other or quarrel.
Sensing that Ye Anping had a lot of demonic energy in his body, Feng Yu Die glared at Gu Mingxin with dissatisfaction. "Black idiot! Haven't you been with Young Master Ye? How did he get so much demonic energy... Useless thing, didn't you say that Young Master Ye always protected me, and if it was you, he wouldn't get hurt at all?! What do you have to say now?"
?
Gu Mingxin paused slightly while applying medicine, looked at Ye Anping's abdomen stained by black blood, and asked back, "White fool! Ye Anping's stomach injury is so serious, what do you have to say? He was with you at the time and was punched by a Physical cultivator. Why didn't you help him block it? Besides, he was just showing off. Even if he didn't make a move, I could deal with Gong Yimo easily..."
Ye Anping listened to the two girls quarreling again, his face full of fatigue. Slowly opening his eyes, he glanced at them. "Can you let me concentrate on my energy?"
"Oh..."
"Well..."
"Ah..."
Ye Anping sighed helplessly and was about to close his eyes again to continue to heal the injuries and cleanse the demonic energy in his meridians. However, when his eyes had just half closed…
"Whoa!!!"
Xiao Tian, who had entered Ye Anping's soul realm to help him clean up his meridians, suddenly rushed out with a loud shout, looked around angrily, rolled up her sleeves as she flew to Gu Mingxin, and started knocking on her forehead.
Dong dong dong...
Gu Mingxin looked at her, but because of the medicine bottle in her hand, she couldn't chase her away, and she could only look at her as if she were a fool.
"Black bastard! Come out!!! You demolished my house, didn't you? Huh?!!"
Xue'e poked her head out of Gu Mingxin's forehead with annoyance, only to see Xiao Tian's kick coming to her face, so she crossed her arms and blocked it.
Bang—
"💢Are you sick, you golden fool! What do you mean, your house? Ye Anping has already given it to me, so it will be my house from now on. Can't I decorate it myself?"
"What the hell do you mean, your house?! I have always lived there!! I planted all the trees inside one by one, how can it be your house?!"
"Ye Anping promised to let me in, so his soul realm is my home. You can go back into your white fool's head!"
Xiao Tian turned her head and looked at Ye Anping aggrievedly, but he didn't care, so she yelled and kicked Xue'e again, but Xue'e blocked all the kicks with her wooden sword.
"Black bastard! Let's go! Let's fight one-on-one!!"
"You think I am afraid of you?! Humph!"
Seeing the two little guys fighting again, Ye Anping shook his head, feeling defeated. He was in no mood to care now, so he ignored them and continued to concentrate, with his eyes closed.
But at this time, the door of the bedroom was pushed open.
Yun Jiujiu, with long curly golden hair, walked in with a wooden basin. Seeing Ye Anping accompanied by two women, a kind of depression showed on her face as she walked closer. "Brother-in-law, I... I got a basin of hot water, do you want me to help you wipe your body? You are covered in blood..."
Reluctantly, Ye Anping stopped concentrating his energy, and asked, "Jiujiu, how are the three Sword Sect disciples you brought with you?"
"One of them lost an arm, it's not a big problem. I went to see them before, and asked them to go find the other Sword Sect disciples first..."
Seeing that Ye Anping did not refuse, Yun Jiujiu took off her clogs in one step, walked around behind him, and knelt, using a clean handkerchief dipped in hot water to wipe the blood on his face and body.
"The servants of the Blood Prison Mansion seemed to have noticed something was wrong, so they moved the valuables away and tried to escape from the city. I caught two of them and killed them..."
"Well..."
Ye Anping didn't say anything. This "Blood Prison Elder" was originally a minor position, and there was not much money in the mansion. Although there was a storage warehouse in the back, he had seen it before and most of the things in it were natural treasures used by demonic cultivators. Not only could he not sell them, but putting them in the storage bag would also contaminate his spiritual treasures.
Although there should be some good things in the City Lord's Mansion, Heavenly Sorrow City had fallen into the hands of the Sword Sect after all.
He had almost recovered, so he could take some things before he left.
However, what made him feel a little regretful was Shen Xin's Erosion Demon spiritual sword.
Ye Anping originally planned to get the Erosion Demon and give it to Feng Yu Die.
But he didn't know before that the sword actually had a mediumistic effect, which allowed "Shen Xin" to possess the holder's body.
There was a complete side quest about this sword in the game, but after the player got the sword, it did not allow "Shen Xin" to possess him.
Now that he knew, let alone giving it to Feng Yu Die, even he didn't dare touch the sword directly.
While leaning on the wall next to him, Ye Anping looked at the black spiritual sword wrapped in silk cloth and sighed slightly. "Sigh, what a pity."
"..."
Yun Jiujiu did not speak again. Xiao Tian and Xue'e also went outside, so the room became quiet again.
However, it was quiet on the surface, but not on the inside.
The three people around Ye Anping seemed to be thinking about something, but they were afraid of disturbing his recovery process, so they did not speak.
However, the next moment.
A violent spiritual power came in from outside the house, and then there was a "boom", which sounded like someone smashed onto the ground from the sky.
Ye Anping's injuries had not yet healed, and the pressure of the spiritual power on him was really uncomfortable. His brows were slightly furrowed.
But before he could speak, dozens of golden spiritual arcs flashed across the bedroom door, shattering it into wood chips.
Yun Tianchong, wearing a blood-stained golden robe, glared angrily, and stepped over the threshold, holding a sword. "Liang!!! You..."
His voice stopped abruptly.
Seeing Ye Anping sitting cross-legged on the bed, surrounded by three women caring for him, the expression on Yun Tianchong's face slowly turned into confusion, and his jaw slowly dropped to his collar.
"You..."
"Hmm?"
"Wait. Ye boy, why are you here?"
Ye Anping hesitated to speak, and he finally said nothing. "..."
"Hiss—" Yun Tianchong took a deep breath and put the sword in his hand aside. "Where is that Liang?"
"Ah… Patriarch Yun, I am the new Elder named Liang. When I took control of the Blood Sea Seal Array to help you kill Gong Yue, didn't you realize?"
"Realize what… No, what about Jiujiu?"
??
As soon as this question came out, two question marks appeared on the heads of Ye Anping and Yun Jiujiu respectively.
Ye Anping looked at Yun Jiujiu behind him with some doubts, and he answered with a frown. "Isn't this…"
Yun Tianchong stared at Yun Jiujiu's face behind Ye Anping for a long time before he connected her with his second daughter. In his memory, his second daughter had never been so well-behaved, and he didn't recognize her at first sight when he entered the room.
"Jiujiu?! You..."
Ka—
Yun Jiujiu gritted her teeth and angrily threw the handkerchief into the wooden basin. She stood up, and with a leap, she threw a punch directly into his belly, making him bend in half and fly out of the bedroom. "Damn it, father!! Can't you see that my brother-in-law was injured? Why don't you quickly retract that fucking spiritual power of yours?!! Can brother-in-law bear it?"
Yun Tianchong flew all the way to the garden outside the house. With a look of disbelief, he sat up and asked, "This... Jiujiu? You... you're okay."
"Why the hell wouldn't I be?!"
Yun Jiujiu cursed, then instantly retracted her angry expression and turned around obediently. "Brother-in-law, take good care of your injuries. I'll talk to him."
"...Okay."
Ye Anping did not know what to say. After nodding, he simply turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window. This time, he decided not to open his eyes no matter what happened, and just calm down and focus.
Yun Jiujiu nodded guiltily at Ye Anping, then rushed out, grabbed her father's collar, and dragged him out of the courtyard to the garden outside.
"Jiujiu, didn't you say that you were captured by the new Elder Liang from Heavenly Sorrow City, and then... became his furnace?"
Yun Jiujiu rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and stood on tiptoe. "The new Elder Liang is my brother-in-law. He disguised himself as a demonic cultivator to help the Sword Sect breach the city."
"So..."
Yun Tianchong pinched his nose bridge and thought for a while before he roughly sorted out the matter. If that "Liang" was Ye Anping, then Yun Jiujiu should be fine.
However, at this time, he saw the red mark on Yun Jiujiu's neck caused by the collar, and he asked, "What is this red mark? Could it be that the man surnamed Ye really did..."
"He is my brother-in-law!!!"
"Then, are you not..."
"Am I what?"
"Now, the Sword Sect disciples think that you've died. Moreover, the news about you has spread. Many disciples heard that you were tortured to death by the new Elder Liang of Heavenly Sorrow City..."
Yun Jiujiu frowned in confusion and asked back, "So what? Can't I say I pretended?"
"What? You pretended to be Master Ye's furnace and sneaked into the city with him?!"
Yun Tianchong hesitated, frowning. "What will happen if this spreads? You can't get married anyway, if this spreads, won't you be even more unable to get married?"
?
Yun Jiujiu's eyes widened with a puzzled look on her face. "Eh?!"
Yun Tianchong seemed to be a little confused as well. He covered his forehead and shook his head.
Maybe it was because so much had happened today that confused him, that he didn't know why he said this.
But he soon came to his senses.
After all...
Yun Tianchong simply pulled Yun Jiujiu into his arms and hugged her tightly, holding her with both hands. "—I'm glad you're okay."
"Ah! What are you doing!! You're too annoying!! Let me go!! Damn it!! What the hell is wrong with you? Hey… Hey?!"
Just when Yun Jiujiu was struggling to pull away from her father's arms, Yun Tianchong suddenly seemed to faint, and the weight of his whole body pressed on her head.
"Hey!! Dad?!! Dad!!"
At this time, Yun Jiujiu finally noticed the wound on her father's waist. She froze, helplessly for a moment, then turned around and carried Yun Tianchong on her head, ready to find a room to throw him in.
Meanwhile, two flying swords descended from the sky.
Yun Yiyi and Elder Tianxing came down from the sky on their swords, landed steadily in front of her, and took off their bamboo hats.
The moment she saw her elder sister, Yun Jiujiu's face suddenly became more unhappy and she turned to leave, but seeing her like this, Yun Yiyi was a little confused and hurriedly stepped forward holding her shoulder. "Second sister, why don't you pay attention to me?"
"...I don't want to!"
"?"
"I'll send this loser to the next room. Brother-in-law is in the bedroom. Feng Yu Die and a black-haired demonic cultivator are with him. If you want to find him, go find him yourself."
"..."
Yun Yiyi felt a little puzzled seeing that Yun Jiujiu seemed to be in a bad mood. However, she would find time to chat with Yun Jiujiu privately later. She didn't ask anything at this time and just said, "Elder Tianxing, go with Jiujiu. My father was stabbed in the kidney just now, and most likely the demonic energy has entered his body. I will go to see my husband."
"...Yes, Miss."
Elder Tianxing nodded in response and followed Yun Jiujiu. After watching them walk away, Yun Yiyi covered her chest, gently fiddled with her bangs, then re-tidied her shawl. She raised her head and chest and clenched her sleeves before slowly walking toward the largest pavilion next to her.
When she reached the door, she saw Ye Anping meditating on the bed with his eyes closed while Feng Yu Die and a woman she didn't know were attending to him on both sides.
Yun Yiyi couldn't help but stare at Gu Mingxin. Although she felt that this woman was quite dangerous, she didn't hesitate and walked directly into the room.
"Anping~~"
Hearing Yun Yiyi's voice, Ye Anping slowly opened his eyes with a sigh and responded. "Yiyi, you came so quickly?"
"I heard that a new Elder named Liang had captured Yun Jiujiu, and I guessed it was you. So, I had been waiting outside before."
"Ah, so..."
Ye Anping lowered his head and smiled helplessly. He was not surprised. After a moment of silence, he said, "Yu Die, Sister Gu, you go out for a while. Yiyi and I have something to talk about."
Feng Yu Die nodded slowly. "Well... Okay! Call me if you need anything! I'll wait outside..."
But Gu Mingxin was a little unhappy. She squinted at Yun Yiyi, and seeing that her cultivation and aptitude were not too impressive, she frowned. "You are..."
Ye Anping frowned and glared at her. "Miss Gu."
Gu Mingxin pursed her lips and simply stopped talking. She stood and jumped off the bed, brushing Yun Yiyi's shoulder as she passed by. But while she passed, she glared at her with mocking and murderous eyes.
This murderous intent made Yun Yiyi subconsciously take a step aside.
Gu Mingxin smiled. "Hehe~"
Then, she happily skipped out of the bedroom.
Ye Anping was pretty tired of this. After she and Feng Yu Die went out, he said, "Yiyi, her personality is like that…"
"Well..." Yun Yiyi walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. After seeing the wounds on Ye Anping's body, she simply took the medicine that Gu Mingxin put aside and applied it to Ye Anping's wounds. "So, Anping, you have been philandering in the Eastern Region?"
"...I am the one who was philandered."
"Hmm~" Yun Yiyi snorted coldly, then replied in a gentle voice, "Anping, thank you for saving Jiujiu's life."
"She is your sister. I should take care of her."
"And I should also thank you."
Ye Anping lowered his head and nodded, feeling that he could finally enjoy a moment of peace. He let out a long breath before asking, "Tell me about the current situation of the Southern Region Immortal Family, and what happened to my sister and Yunluo?"
