Chapter 271: 271 You have no right to own!

"Thinking of taking my Yue Qi’s belongings isn’t that easy!"

Seeing the Meridian Qi Sword already flying out with the Ice Crystal Grass, Yue Qi let out a cold harrumph, and his body slightly moved, intending to dash out to stop the Meridian Qi Sword.

Bang!

At the next moment, a graceful black silhouette appeared in front of Yue Qi—it was Mo Qing. As soon as Mo Qing appeared, she struck with her palm, blocking the movements of this Poison Vein genius.

"Mo Qing, what are you doing?"

Seeing that under Mo Qing’s obstruction, the Meridian Qi Sword had turned a corner in the air and was flying further and further away, Yue Qi’s anger was truly no small matter.

"Why are you entangling with me here instead of going for that Ice Grass?"

Yue Qi shouted angrily once more, completely unable to comprehend why Mo Qing, who seemed very interested in the Ice Crystal Grass before, was now stopping him, which would mean she too wouldn’t get it.

But as soon as Yue Qi’s words were spoken, he was met with a blooming smile from Mo Qing, who then said, "Hehe, as long as the Ice Continuation Grass doesn’t fall into your hands, Senior Brother, I don’t really mind about the others!"

Hearing Mo Qing’s words, Yue Qi’s heart stirred, and he finally turned his gaze towards where the Meridian Qi Sword was flying, only to see that at some point, a young man in coarse clothing had appeared.

"Yun Xiao?!"

To be honest, Yue Qi didn’t have much impression of this boy in humble attire. Although Yun Xiao had been in the Jade Pot Sect for several months, it wasn’t until this Meridian Treasure hunt that the two of them truly had any substantial interaction.

After coming out of seclusion, Yue Qi’s understanding of Yun Xiao was merely hearsay; he had not personally witnessed some of Yun Xiao’s tricks. The previous altercation between Yun Xiao and the Zhao and Cao families was undoubtedly just the tip of the iceberg.

On the other hand, Mo Qing had guessed that it was Yun Xiao who appeared as soon as the Meridian Qi Sword materialized, so she took action at the crucial moment to stop Yue Qi’s motion, allowing Yun Xiao to perfectly secure the Ice Whisker Grass.

The words that Mo Qing had said earlier were obviously just to provoke Yue Qi. Had it not been Yun Xiao who appeared, she would not have entangled with Yue Qi and would have gone after the Ice Whisker Grass herself.

But now that the Ice Whisker Grass was about to fall into Yun Xiao’s hands, Mo Qing was obviously ready to assist. After all, the fame of the Ice Whisker Grass was originally conveyed to her by Yun Xiao, and even if she got it herself, it would need to be refined by Yun Xiao into something effective.

The newcomer was indeed Yun Xiao. He wasn’t initially sure that the aura was emitted by the Ice Whisker Grass, until he emerged from the cave and saw the cluster of translucent ice-flowers, then he affirmed it.

Seeing them fighting over the Ice Whisker Grass, Yun Xiao made a decisive move without any hesitation and summoned the Meridian Qi Sword. This Meridian Technique, which he could control effortlessly even at the peak of the Meridian Gathering Realm, was even more intuitive for him upon reaching the Meridian Rushing Realm Early Stage.

Of course, had Mo Qing not timely intervened and hindered Yue Qi, even if Yun Xiao could control the Meridian Qi Sword, this Meridian Technique might not withstand a hit from Yue Qi, the Meridian Union Realm genius, and might dissipate like smoke.

"Yun Xiao, some things you’re not qualified to possess. I advise you to hand it over!"

Seeing the Ice Crystal Grass already in Yun Xiao’s hands, Yue Qi’s face naturally didn’t look too good. The words he spoke contained a dense threat, just like Yin Huan earlier.

If Yun Xiao had encountered Yue Qi alone, he might indeed have to weigh his options; after all, with his current Meridian Rushing Realm Early Stage cultivation, facing Yue Qi of the Meridian Union Realm rank, it was likely he wouldn’t be able to withstand a single move.

But now, with Mo Qing backing him, Yun Xiao had the confidence, and upon hearing him, he asked, "Senior Brother Yue Qi, did I snatch this Ice Whisker Grass from your hands? Or are you saying that everything within this Meridian Treasure is privately owned by you, Senior Brother Yue Qi, and others are not allowed to take it?"

Yun Xiao’s words were nothing short of fierce. Who wouldn’t know that this Spiritual Rank Intermediate Meridian Treasure had just opened, and everything within was unclaimed, belonging to whoever got it first.

Of course, even if you got the treasure, whether you could live to enjoy it was another matter. Just like now, Yun Xiao could talk so confidently only because he had Mo Qing as support.

If it weren’t for this circumstance, Yue Qi probably wouldn’t bother with any nonsense and would just truly make a move to kill Yun Xiao right in the cave and take back the Ice Whisker Grass.

Whoosh!

Just when Yue Qi was left somewhat speechless by Yun Xiao’s question, a whistling sound came from behind Yun Xiao, followed by another green silhouette appearing in this space.

"Yun Xiao, keep running, kid... huh? Senior Brother Yue Qi?"

The one who appeared behind Yun Xiao was, of course, Yin Huan, who had been relentlessly pursuing him. Having caught up here and finally seeing Yun Xiao not running away, he immediately yelled out, only to see two talents of the Jade Pot Sect next, and his face changed at once.

Actually, Yin Huan’s pursuit of Yun Xiao, apart from his resentment towards the young man, was more importantly about the Drunken Immortal Tang that Yun Xiao possessed. For the potent poison he intended to refine, it was a crucial main ingredient.

But now, with Yue Qi and Mo Qing here, Yin Huan knew that even if Yun Xiao handed over the Drunken Immortal Tang, he probably wouldn’t get a share. Compared to these two, his strength simply wasn’t sufficient.

Little did Yin Huan know, in this very brief moment, not only had "his" Drunken Immortal Tang been snatched away by Yun Xiao, but also Yue Qi’s Ice Whisker Grass had been tucked inside Yun Xiao’s Waist Storage.

Seizing the moment when the two brothers were staring in disbelief, Yun Xiao had already quickly moved to Mo Qing’s side. The pressure from Yue Qi was a bit too overwhelming, and only Mo Qing could provide him some sense of security.

"The Ice Whisker Grass is in hand; this task can be considered complete!"

Yun Xiao patted his waist and let out a light chuckle. Naturally, Mo Qing was extremely pleased. In contrast, the faces of the two brothers on the other side turned so grim as if water was about to drip from them.

"Yun Xiao, I’m asking you one more time, are you really not prepared to hand over that Ice Grass?"

Yue Qi had never suffered such a loss before, and he wouldn’t have been so furious even if that gleaming Ice Grass had ended up in Mo Qing’s hands.

But what was Yun Xiao, an ant who had just entered the Inner Sect a few months ago, daring to stir trouble? Was he tired of living?

"Brother Yue Qi, that’s a strange question you’re asking. The treasures within the Meridian Treasure are ownerless to begin with, and since we’re both from the Jade Pot Lineage, it wouldn’t look good to tear each other’s faces, would it?"

When it came to a war of words, even ten Yue Qis might not be a match for Yun Xiao. However, his biggest confidence now was still Mo Qing. He just didn’t believe that, in front of Mo Qing, Yue Qi could lay a finger on him.

"Since that’s the case, then don’t blame me, your senior brother, for being impolite!"

Seeing Yun Xiao’s reluctance to recognize the situation, Yue Qi’s last shred of patience finally vanished. Following his words, he turned his head and shouted, "Yin Huan, kill that brat Yun Xiao!"

"Hehe, that’s exactly what I’ve been hoping to hear, senior brother!"

Originally, Yin Huan was pursuing Yun Xiao here, and he always believed that the kid wouldn’t dare to confront him directly. If there was a chance for a head-on battle, he was certain he could kill Yun Xiao on the spot.

"Yue Qi, are you not afraid of becoming a joke in the eyes of others?"

Hearing Yue Qi’s words, Mo Qing’s expression also turned unsightly. Just as Yun Xiao had said earlier, no matter what, everyone was a disciple of the Jade Pot Sect. Fighting like this, if seen by outsiders, would undoubtedly be a huge joke.

In fact, although the medicinal and poison lineages of the Jade Pot Sect were always at odds, they still appeared amicable towards each other in public, and very rarely would such a life-and-death battle take place, especially in front of outsiders.

But at this moment, both Yue Qi and Yin Huan were so infuriated by Yun Xiao that they lost their reason, and even Mo Qing faintly felt that bringing Yun Xiao into the Jade Pot Sect might expedite the division between the two major factions within the sect.

These thoughts flashed through Mo Qing’s mind, and the next moment, she saw Yin Huan lunging towards them. She immediately wanted to reprimand this disagreeable man from the Poison Vein lineage.

"Hehe, Junior Sister Mo Qing, your opponent is me!"

Little did she know, just as Mo Qing’s Meridian Qi began to stir, a light laughter sounded by her ear, followed by a surge of great force. Without looking, she knew that Yue Qi had made a move.

"Hmph, I would like to see how much progress you’ve made after a few months of seclusion!"

The move by Yue Qi utterly enraged Mo Qing. Regarding this former rival from the Spiritual Chick Battle List, whom she had defeated, she harbored no fear in her heart—he was just a defeated foe.

"Whether I’ve made progress, we’ll know once we fight. But before that, Yun Xiao is probably about to become a corpse!"

A glint flashed in Yue Qi’s eyes. As the words left his mouth, Yin Huan on the other side had already struck towards Yun Xiao with a palm. In his view, Yun Xiao at the Meridian Rushing Realm Early Stage was probably no match for Yin Huan.

This was also what Mo Qing worried about. Although she had seen Yun Xiao fight against and even defeat opponents above his rank like Feng Hang and Shen Xiao in the Outer Sect competition, securing victory in the process,

Compared to Feng Hang and Shen Xiao, those Outer Disciples, Yin Huan was undoubtedly much stronger. Moreover, the gap between ranks in the Meridian Rushing Realm was far greater than that in the Meridian Gathering Realm.

The higher one’s cultivation, the larger the gap between each sub-realm, so even though Mo Qing had great confidence in Yun Xiao, she couldn’t help but feel nervous. Could that guy create a miracle again this time?

But as worried as Mo Qing was, at this moment she simply could not spare a hand to assist Yun Xiao, for as soon as she fought with Yue Qi, she found that her former defeated foe’s strength seemed to have greatly improved. If she wasn’t careful, she might even lose to him.
