Chapter 652: Chapter 651: A Single Hair Moves the Whole Body

"I’ll go and call Senior Brother!" said Zhu Xiaofei, with a troubled look on his face as he watched the battle.

"Hurry up!" Zhou Bingyi said, "And call Master Ning too!"

"Okay!" Zhu Xiaofei nodded.

"No, absolutely not!" Lv Xiuli, who was nearby, hurriedly stopped Zhu Xiaofei.

"Why?!" Everyone turned their gaze to Lv Xiuli.

Lv Xiuli’s face was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "You must have noticed that these guys seem to be targeting Sister, but in reality, they are forcing Senior Brother to show up. If you go back to call Senior Brother now, that would be playing right into their hands."

"Besides, once Master Ning steps in, the situation will completely change. It could escalate to these forces’ campaign against our Emperor Immortal Sect. The backing behind these guys is far beyond what Fierce Battle Sect or Qianyuan Cave Heaven can compare to!" Lv Xiuli continued seriously.

This was the conclusion he had reached after gathering information over the past two days, combined with the current situation. His analysis was absolutely correct.

Having heard Lv Xiuli’s words, everyone became aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Indeed, if Ning Zongtang hurried over to take action, could he intercede?

The fact that Ye Lingyi and Ye Lingzhu had acted already indicated that the opposition must also have been waiting for such a move.

By the time Ning Zongtang acted, it would be difficult for him to intervene.

The Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, Medicine Pavilion, Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect, Six Demon Sect, Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect—the five great overlords of the East Desolate were all watching. Would they really let Ning Zongtang step in and take Zhou Youwei away?

Clearly, it was impossible.

And once Ning Zongtang made a move, it was likely that these five great overlords would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

At that point, things would truly spiral out of control.

The current situation was like touching a hair and moving the whole body.

"You’d better listen to him. Calling for help now is the most foolish method. It would only make things more serious," said Mo Zidong of the Mo family, his expression grave, from not far away.

At this, Zhou Bingyi and Ye Ling’er both began to feel somewhat desperate.

What to do? Calling for help wasn’t an option, but neither was not calling for help.

"If only brother-in-law were here..." Zhou Bingyi thought anxiously.

"Eh!"

"No, that’s not right!"

Zhou Bingyi’s eyes suddenly brightened. Her sister hadn’t used her strongest strength from the beginning. Up until now, she was merely fighting with the Winter Thunder Blade.

Since brother-in-law had given the Winter Thunder Blade to her sister less than two days ago, and she could already wield such terrifying power with it, people were shocked, causing many to assume that was the extent of her sister’s abilities.

In fact, her sister’s strongest assets were her Sword Dao and the Great Emperor Immortal Skill she commanded!

Furthermore, the power of her sister’s Dual Divine Body hadn’t been fully unleashed yet!

Her sister was currently at a disadvantage because she believed she could still handle Bai Yichuan, so she hadn’t switched from the blade to the sword!

It could also be said that her sister wanted to use the fight to further improve her mastery of the Winter Thunder Blade!

With this in mind, Zhou Bingyi’s anxious heart gradually relaxed.

If that was truly the case, then it was completely acceptable.

"Everyone, don’t panic, my sister won’t be defeated so easily!" Zhou Bingyi called out.

In fact, Zhou Bingyi wasn’t the only one who noticed this.

Mo Zidong and Lv Xiuli had also seen it.

On the field, Ye Lingyi was taking on Zheng Wenlun, and Ye Lingzhu was facing Dong Xiyue.

Ye Lingyi and Ye Lingzhu were two of the four formidable prodigies of the Ye Family, both with impressive strength.

After their return to society, both Ye Lingyi and Ye Lingzhu had stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm.

Yet Zheng Wenlun and Dong Xiyue were by no means weaker than Ye Lingyi and Ye Lingzhu.

They were both famous talents of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

Now, the clash between the prodigies and the talents was drawing quite a bit of attention.

Compared to that, these two battles were even more ferocious than the one between Zhou Youwei and Bai Yichuan.

However, Zhou Youwei’s fight with Bai Yichuan was deeply meaningful, drawing more observers.

"The strength of the Longevity Realm is still not enough to force her to use her sword..."

Above the sky, Song Qilin, the successor of the Third Peak of the Li Mountain Sword Pavilion, watched with a calm expression, but his eyes were filled with surprise.

He felt that Zhou Youwei was truly out of the ordinary.

He had thought that when Bai Yichuan first consumed the elixir, he would draw his sword, but to his surprise, after Bai Yichuan had swallowed two forbidden pills, Zhou Youwei was still able to maintain her composure and didn’t rush to draw her sword.

He wasn’t sure if Zhou Youwei didn’t know the way of the sword, or if she truly believed she could still withstand the assault.

Song Qilin grew more and more curious.

He knew that this battle was definitely not going to end so quickly.

Although the people from Li Mountain Sword Pavilion wouldn’t interfere in the affairs of others, it didn’t mean they were unaware of everything.

He had some understanding of the grievances and grudges between Ye Xuan and these few powers.

However, he wasn’t very interested in Ye Xuan.

A person who can make several overlords bear a grudge doesn’t necessarily mean they are very capable, but making several overlords bow their heads, now that’s genuine ability.

"Is it finally coming?"

In his contemplation, Song Qilin noticed that Bai Yichuan’s aura was changing again!

Bai Yichuan had actually consumed three forbidden pills in succession!

At this moment, Bai Yichuan was already bleeding from seven orifices, and blood was beginning to seep from his body.

Having consumed three forbidden pills in a row, even if Bai Yichuan survived, he would be thoroughly crippled.

The order of the Eighth Prince of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty had directly ruined Bai Yichuan.

"This girl is indeed quite impressive, it’s just a pity that she married a troublemaker."

Somehow, a young man dressed in a blue robe had appeared beside the Eighth Prince of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, wearing a formal robe over his attire.

That was... an alchemist’s robe.

And there were nine tiny copper tripods embroidered on the chest area.

This person was none other than a Nine Tripods Alchemist.

So young, yet a Nine Tripods Alchemist.

One could not find a second such individual in the entire East Desolate.

His identity was clear — he was the Medicine Pavilion’s pride, Wei Qing!

Wei Qing was not in the Medicine Pavilion’s Floating Divine Tower but stood beside the Eighth Prince of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, hands clasped behind him, looking down from above, and spoke indifferently.

This man was also in the lineage of Master Dragon Refiner Ping Zhenyu.

He Li’an, who was defeated by a punch from Ye Xuan at the Mo family’s Yingchun Pavilion during the Heavenly Pride Festival, was Wei Qing’s junior brother.

"Indeed not bad, but this prince is starting to feel somewhat reluctant," the Eighth Prince said with a slight smile.

To be honest, he had seen many beautiful fairies, but when he saw Zhou Youwei, he was still captivated by her unique temperament.

However, different standings demanded different actions, and what needed to be done had to be done.

"No rush, she won’t die. I don’t believe that Ye Xuan would let his beloved wife fall here," said Wei Qing with a light smile.

Wei Qing thought for a moment, turned to the richly dressed young man beside him and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Chang Zuhua, you’ve fought against this person before, has she reached her limit?"

"How would I know, I haven’t fought with her," Chang Zuhua snorted lightly, speaking indifferently.

"Oh? Weren’t all of the Mechanical Divine Phoenixes you had been destroyed?" Wei Qing said with a teasing smile.

"Wei Qing, are you deliberately picking a fight?" Guo Xuan looked at Wei Qing with cold eyes and spoke flatly, "If it weren’t for the Eighth Prince being here, just for those words you just said, I could tear you apart."

"My sincerest apologies for stepping on your sore spot," Wei Qing laughed heartily.

"You!" Guo Xuan was immediately enraged.

"Xiaoxuan!" Chang Zuhua barked sharply, stopping Guo Xuan.

The disciples of the Medicine Pavilion and the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, although neighboring and both within the territory of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, actually didn’t get along, and it was common for their disciples to bicker upon meeting.

The scene unfolding was not unusual and happened from time to time.

Without looking at Wei Qing, Chang Zuhua turned his attention back to the ongoing fierce battle between Zhou Youwei and Bai Yichuan and said unhurriedly, "Although I haven’t fought her before, I know that Bai Yichuan, even if he swallowed ten or a hundred forbidden pills, could not kill her."

"How so?" the Eighth Prince inquired softly.

"The blade in her hand was crafted by our ancestral master, Ou Zhizi. It’s the Narrow Blade Winter Thunder," Chang Zuhua replied calmly.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, all the young talents of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty near the railing were shocked.

A weapon personally forged by the legendary Artifact Refiner Ou Zhizi?!

"However, she cannot yet unleash the full power of that blade, but the sword in her possession is not inferior to the Narrow Blade Winter Thunder," Chang Zuhua continued slowly.
