Chapter 314: 314. Be a pair of grilled sisters

Fang Zhou quietly followed behind General Yaksha and Li Yan to the Imperial Palace.

He didn’t dare fly close to the ground, so he ascended high into the sky, using the light snow and night to conceal himself.

With his extraordinary vision, Fang Zhou witnessed the entire process of General Yaksha destroying the Chaotian Hall and engaging in battle with Du Ruxue and the others.

This was a great opportunity; all of their forces were present, and with Fang Zhou, they might be able to contend with General Yaksha.

But in the end, Fang Zhou held back. It wasn’t because he was timid, but if a fight broke out in the Imperial Palace, it was hard to predict how long it would last, but the palace would definitely be ruined.

This would undoubtedly have a huge impact on the fate of the Chu Kingdom. Who knows if the Blood God Array would disappear because of this, wouldn’t that just make it easier for General Yaksha?

He continued to hide in the sky, observing General Yaksha’s strength and techniques.

At the same time, he also prepared to intervene—if Yu Qing or Qiao Sen’s lives were in danger.

Below, Du Ruxue took Qiao Sen and left Yu Qing’s group behind to escape, while General Yaksha trapped the three with the Poison Fire Crow, ordering Li Yan to guard the area and wait to collect their bodies, then pursued Du Ruxue.

Fang Zhou discreetly followed from the sky; he still didn’t know where the entrance to the underground city was.

Within the poison fire, the three of Yu Qing stood back-to-back in a triangle formation, maintaining the Sword Array to fend off the fire and crow attacks.

Yu Qing and Xuan Ling were faring okay, but Gou Cheng was beginning to show signs of fatigue.

His strength was slightly lower than that of his two senior sisters, and his Spiritual Energy was depleting faster—he’d already used up a third, at this rate he wouldn’t last half an hour.

Xuan Ling noticed Gou Cheng’s fatigue and couldn’t help but say, "Gou Cheng, can you handle it? If you’re so short-lived now, how will you ever get married?"

Gou Cheng forced a bitter smile: "Senior sister, don’t make fun of me; you know I’m naturally low on Spiritual Energy reserves."

Xuan Ling pouted: "And yet you dare to stick around and wade through this mess? You’ve got guts, unlike someone who even dared to tamper with the sect’s distress letter."

Xuan Ling was being sarcastic again; she now suspected the letter sent to the sect had been tampered with by Yu Qing, otherwise, the sect would have surely responded.

Now she regretted ever trusting this deceitful person, and it ended with her being trapped in a predicament.

Yu Qing wasn’t angry at his junior sister’s sarcasm; instead, he smiled slightly: "Don’t worry, everything’s fine."

Seeing that Yu Qing was without a hint of anxiety, Xuan Ling suddenly felt annoyed: "Are you hoping that scumbag will magically show up to help? Don’t be foolish; that guy is heartless and cowardly, probably hiding somewhere, too scared to show his face. He might have even run away by now."

Yu Qing didn’t bother to argue back with Xuan Ling; she wouldn’t believe him anyway, and arguing would be a waste of energy at this point.

Xuan Ling, seeing she wasn’t getting a reaction, lost interest and fell silent.

While the three talked, their hands remained steady, firmly maintaining the Sword Array.

If they couldn’t maintain the Sword Array and let the Poison Fire and the crow swarm descend upon them en masse, they wouldn’t be able to handle it, which is why they didn’t dare abandon the array and flee.

Outside, Li Yan overheard the trio’s conversation and couldn’t help but say, "Still bickering at a time like this? You disciples from these prestigious sects have no unity at all, not like us from the Divine Sect."

Xuan Ling retorted with a cold laugh: "You’re right, I now sever all ties with them and join your Divine Sect. Hurry and come rescue me."

Li Yan chuckled pleasantly: "No way, I can’t stand traitors like you. Soon, you’ll be turned to ash and mixed together, becoming a pair of roasted sisters."

Xuan Ling hadn’t expected to be the butt of the sarcasm this time, and it left her fuming.

Seeing Xuan Ling’s speechlessness, Li Yan planted her hands on her hips and laughed heartily.

In the next instant, she suddenly felt a strong pull from behind.

Startled, Li Yan turned sharply, only to see a masked person standing on a Flying Sword aiming a gourd at her.

Fang Zhou had followed General Yaksha, discovered the underground city’s entrance in the Imperial Garden, then quickly flew back to lie in wait behind Li Yan, planning to ambush her with the gourd.

Unfortunately, the gourd’s pull and absorption speed were too slow, slow enough for even a Qi Refinement Realm to react, let alone a Foundation Establishment Realm.

While Li Yan was being tugged by the gourd, Fang Zhou raised his hand and fired an Invisible Sword Energy at her.

Li Yan sensed the danger and suddenly transformed into a shadow, dodging the Invisible Sword Energy and escaping the gourd’s range in one swift move.

Fang Zhou found it quite regrettable; he had always wanted to try combining Illusion Technique+ and the gourd, but unfortunately, the Illusion Technique’s cooldown wasn’t quite ready.

He turned the gourd around and began absorbing the Poison Fire and cawing crows, planning to rescue Yu Qing first.

Li Yan reappeared at a distance and, seeing Fang Zhou using the gourd to absorb the Poison Fire, her gaze sharpened, and she raised her hand to shoot numerous black lines at him.

Fang Zhou glanced over, and the system’s task trigger notification immediately followed.

[New Task Triggered - Defeat the Black Yaksha]

[Difficulty: Normal]

[Reward: Masculinity *4, Blue Card *1]

[Failure: Death]

The same appearance, the same abilities, and the same task penalty.

For a moment, Fang Zhou felt like he was back dealing with Li Xian.

With a thought, the Xuanyuan Sword beneath his feet split into eight swords and shot towards Li Yan.

This time Fang Zhou was smarter; he didn’t let the Xuanyuan Sword charge straight on but took winding paths, slicing toward Li Yan from all directions to avoid being devoured in one gulp.

With seven Xuanyuan Swords, Li Yan resembled a lone man facing seven strong women, and the black lines almost faltered in fear.

The Xuanyuan Sword deftly sliced through the black lines Li Yan projected, then attacked from front and back, leaving her vulnerable.

When facing low-level Cultivators, the Flying Sword’s aerial assault offered a significant advantage, not to mention its overwhelming firepower.

Li Yan couldn’t withstand so many thrusts and had to continually transform into a ghostly shadow to speedily dodge the Xuanyuan Sword’s assaults on the ground.

She quickly fled to another area and, showing herself, shouted to Fang Zhou, "Who are you? Why do you obstruct the grand plans of our True Mother God Sect?"

This juvenile attempt to scare away an enemy with a name was something Fang Zhou deemed unworthy of a response.

While using the gourd to absorb Poison Fire, he casually asked, "There’s someone who looks exactly like you, what’s your relation with her?"

Li Yan was taken aback: "You’ve met my sister?"

Her sister Li Xian had been absent recently. Had she already fallen to this mysterious person?

Fang Zhou spoke in a reminiscent tone: "Your sister is a woman who has risen above trivial pursuits, uncorrupted by desires in her duties. I admire her; as a token, I gave her a barbecue gift. You’re just as excellent, though unfortunately, my barbecue skill isn’t ready yet. Otherwise, I’d surely offer you one too, making you a pair of roasted sisters. Great things come in pairs."
