Chapter 740: Chapter 549 Leave the Explanation to Them_2

Yue Tiance couldn’t hold back his laughter as he witnessed the prideful figure of the past, who once dominated Hongze, in such a comical and clumsy state — a truly rare sight.

He shook his head, thinking that if the other party could relieve his elder brother’s anger even slightly, it would serve a decent purpose.

As long as his brother spared his life, it would be convenient for him to explain to Zi Lan.

Before this, Yue Tiance had no intention of intervening.

It was known that because of Xuan Qing’s matter, a generational talent of the Yue family had fallen into madness and lost the possibility of ever reaching that Boundary, which was a severe blow to the clan.

Considering what Xuan Qing had paid so far, it was actually letting him off cheap.

"Whenever you manage to hurt even a hair on my master, that’s when I’ll release him," Tian Ji suddenly pulled up the wooden body and sent it back against the pillar with a palm strike, once again binding him with the Spiritual Rope.

In a corner far from the Immortal’s Cave.

Li Qingfeng struggled to resist the urge to look away from the mirror, following the instructions of Elder Xuan Qing; he had to constantly watch the bell on Tian Ji’s waist.

But within the entire Nanyang Sect, perhaps he was the only one, apart from Sect Master Shen, who knew that Elder Xuan Qing hadn’t given up hope as much as it seemed on the surface, especially since the elder hated it when others called his Dao name.

That meant the heart hidden within the wooden body still harbored pride.

And now, Elder Xuan Qing was probably trying his best to hide this trace of pride, preferring to be trampled underfoot like a dead dog rather than let others see any hint of hope in him.

What Tian Ji wanted to see was probably just that.

"Hiss."

Just then, Li Qingfeng couldn’t hold back a sound, temporarily forgetting the risk of being discovered.

He fixed his eyes on the mirror, only to see the image flash and move outside the Immortal’s Cave.

In the mirror appeared a dark figure he hoped not to see... how could Sect Master Shen be returning at this moment, and all alone at that!

Instantly, Li Qingfeng almost fainted; without any hesitation, he activated the Dao Plate that Elder Xuan Qing had prepared in advance.

If anyone in the Nanyang Sect absolutely needed to avoid trouble, it was Shen Yi alone.

"Masters! Save me!"

...

Outside the Immortal’s Cave.

Fairy Zi Lan was anxiously waiting when her expression subtly changed, and she suddenly turned around to look back.

Then, a familiar face appeared in her line of sight, albeit this young man now exuded an intimidating and fierce aura, completely different from his earlier demeanor at Red Maple Valley.

"Daoist Shen, why are you here?"

Fairy Zi Lan suddenly remembered the earlier letter from Southern Hong, her eyebrows lifting slightly, "Indeed, this young man has figured it out! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have traveled such a long way from Southern Hong."

But she was in no mood to attend to other matters, and hurriedly advised, "Daoist Shen, it’s not advisable to go in now, please leave quickly."

The situation was chaotic enough, no need for another disruptor.

Under Fairy Zi Lan’s astonished gaze, Shen Yi, as if he heard nothing, fixedly walked towards the Immortal’s Cave.

She remembered that although he had been somewhat aloof before, he wasn’t to this extent.

"Could it be that Daoist Shen knows someone inside?"

Fairy Zi Lan suddenly remembered something else and explained, "Rest assured, he promised me half an incense stick’s time, and there is still half left; once their lives are secure, I will indeed explain this to you."

It seemed like the noise from outside was heard.

Yue Tiance slowly stepped out of the cave, his original smile fading instantly upon seeing Shen Yi.

He crossed his arms and coldly said, "Why are you everywhere? Do you really think the East Dragon Palace is yours to call upon whenever you face trouble?"

"I don’t want to lose my temper in front of Zi Lan, so better leave while I’m still in a good mood."

"..."

Shen Yi slightly lifted his gaze, and then, fiercely, he kicked Yue Tiance in the abdomen.

Without any warning, the overwhelming force seemed to come out of nowhere! Caught off-guard, Yue Tiance couldn’t even change his facial expression in time before he was smashed into the cave.

Fairy Zi Lan’s lips parted slightly, her pupils contracting sharply.

At that moment, she perceived a unique aura... possessing such aura might not necessarily make one stronger than the top Great Demons below Union Dao, but in terms of renown, each was more well-known than the next.

All of that group would inevitably achieve Union Dao, and under normal circumstances, proceed to the very front ranks of Union Dao Cultivators.

But she swore she had never heard of anyone with the Shen surname amongst those people, especially not from impoverished places like Western Hong or Southern Hong.

The next moment, Shen Yi had fully stepped into the Immortal’s Cave.

Fairy Zi Lan no longer hesitated and followed swiftly; just upon entering, she was shaken by the scene before her eyes.

She saw Yue Tian Ji, like a mad dog, viciously biting into Xuan Qing’s body, nearly tearing it into a bare stick.

"..."

Fairy Zi Lan found it hard to believe that this was an act the eldest son of the Yue Family could commit.

Just then, she suddenly noticed Shen Yi looking back at her, his fair and handsome face wearing a faint smile, seemingly gentle, yet with a mocking tone in his voice, "Reassured?"

"Hear me out," Fairy Zi Lan didn’t know why she felt the need to speak so humbly to a cultivator she had met only a few times, possibly because of the aura he displayed earlier, or perhaps because she had broken her promise to him.
