Chapter 313: Chapter 125 Two Matters

```

The Water Drop Sword, though feeble on its own, can pierce stone when gathered drop by drop.

Countless Water Drop Swords, unyielding and incessant, penetrated the black sphere formed by Qing Yu’s "Qiankun Great Shifting."

However, after passing through the black sphere, Qing Yu’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

"Behind."

The Transparent Sword Heart issued a warning, and Yuan Jianyi reflexively made a sword with his left arm, slashing hurriedly behind him.

A figure that appeared behind Yuan Jianyi was cut in half by the sharp Sword Qi, devolving into a mass of lake water and falling upon the lake’s surface.

"Brother Yuan, it’s not wise to battle me atop Mingjing Lake."

To Yuan Jianyi’s right, the lake water roiled, lifting Qing Yu slowly upwards, as if he were a river deity.

Qing Yu clapped his hands together in a sealing gesture. A fierce wind blew over Mingjing Lake, stirring the entire surface into tumult.

"Nine Water Wind Rise."

Suddenly, Qing Yu pulled with both hands, and four spinning pillars of water rose around Yuan Jianyi, resembling dragons drawing water, spinning up from the lake and encircling him.

The water pillars clamped Yuan Jianyi within, the torrential currents compressing incessantly upon his body, attempting to crush him outright. Yet, the piercing Sword Light burst forth from within the encircling water pillars.

From all the major acupoints on Yuan Jianyi’s body, relentless and sharp Sword Qi blasted forth, cutting the water pillars into countless scattered droplets.

However, these water droplets, drawn by True Qi, merged again, enveloping Yuan Jianyi once more.

"Supreme Water resembles benevolence, benefiting all things without contention, residing where others detest, hence close to the Dao. Brother Yuan, no matter how sharp your sword, you cannot cut through this water."

The mass of water began to frost over, the spread of frost swiftly enveloping Yuan Jianyi within a casing of ice.

Of course, this could not contain Yuan Jianyi. In an instant, his Sword Qi could emanate through his body, shredding the ice holding him into granules.

But Qing Yu needed only that instant.

A distant figure vanished, reappearing close by, Qing Yu once again positioned beside Yuan Jianyi, his right palm close to Yuan Jianyi’s heart through the layer of ice.

"Brother Yuan, you’ve lost."

A "Unity" force lay dormant within his right palm, ready to be unleashed in an instant. As Yuan Jianyi freed himself, 260 types of Qi Force could tear his heart to shreds.

Even if Yuan Jianyi had a peculiar bodily structure with his heart on the left side, this palm strike of "Unity" could still explode his lung, puncturing a hole in his left chest.

"Crack—"

A faint sound, the layers of ice shattered, Yuan Jianyi escaped his icy prison, but he did not continue to fight. Because he knew he had lost, and continuing to struggle obstinately was not something that would occur with Yuan Jianyi.

"According to what was written in the previous note, Brother Yuan, you’ll need to do something for me," Qing Yu said with a light chuckle.

Battling Yuan Jianyi was naturally not without stakes. Qing Yu would not engage in something where he stood to gain nothing. The note that invited Yuan Jianyi to Mingjing Lake clearly stated that if Yuan Jianyi accepted the condition, then they would meet at Mingjing Lake.

Yuan Jianyi’s presence meant he had tacitly agreed. And now that he had lost, Qing Yu could collect his stakes.

"Two things," Yuan Jianyi said.

"Hm?"

```

"Before that move, you held back."

This time, Qing Yu finally understood. When Yuan Jianyi still had the iron sword, and after Qing Yu shattered the iron sword with a move, her "Unity" could have struck directly at Yuan Jianyi’s heart, but she changed the point of impact mid-course, and struck his right shoulder instead.

The purpose was to remind Yuan Jianyi that without giving his all, there was no chance of victory.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Jianyi also counted this as a contest of victory and defeat, and combined with his current defeat, he owed Qing Yu two favors.

’This is indeed a straightforward person.’ Qing Yu thought to herself.

Straightforward people are great. Just like that, one matter became two, doubling the outcome. Qing Yu liked this kind of honesty.

"In that case, let’s count it as two favors," Qing Yu said with a smile.

"There are two things I haven’t thought of yet, but I estimate it won’t be long before I do. When I have, I will inform you. Brother Yuan, you may continue to invite me to test swords with you. You only need to do one favor for me as a condition."

Saying so, Qing Yu left the still chaotic scene of Yan Province.

··················

Inside the Yin Demon Sect.

This mysteriously named Demon Sect was actually situated in a valley filled with bird songs and fragrant flowers. After all, despite being called demons, their aesthetic sense wasn’t twisted. How could they wish to live in an unpleasant environment, swept by chilly winds? Especially when the Yin Demon Sect was a congregation of women.

Yun Wuyue’s skirt fluttered slightly as she walked gracefully. Although her expression remained cold, those familiar with her could tell her mood was good.

After all, an eyesore was gone from her sight forever. If it were you, you too might be in an unusually good mood.

"Yun Wuyue."

At the sound of this shout, Yun Wuyue’s rare good mood instantly halved because another irritant had arrived.

With the rustle of clothing, a lavishly dressed, alluringly poised beautiful woman blocked Yun Wuyue’s path with her elegant movement technique.

"Yun Wuyue, Xian Yin was inexplicably attacked and killed by the Azure Dragon Association. Did you secretly hire someone for this?" The beautiful woman, with a cold gaze, looked straight at Yun Wuyue.

"Uncle Master Gu, what does Xian Yin’s death have to do with me?" Yun Wuyue said indifferently.

"How can it have nothing to do with you? Xian Yin was killed while you were in the Divine Capital. She has been there safely for years, yet the incident occurred as soon as you arrived. Yun Wuyue, unless you can explain yourself clearly, I will not let this go, even if it involves going to the Sect Master," the beautiful woman with the surname Gu declared coldly.

"Even if it is brought before the Master, my response is the same: what does it have to do with me?"

Saying that, Yun Wuyue attempted to bypass the blocking, beautiful woman to continue on her way.

"Is that really so?" The beautiful woman with the surname Gu stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "Xian Yin agreed to assist the Demon Young Master in bringing you together with him. Dare you say you didn’t hire someone to silence her to avoid the marriage?"

As she spoke, the beautiful woman with the surname Gu stared unblinkingly into Yun Wuyue’s eyes, as if seeking any sign of guilt.

"What if I did hire someone to kill her?" Yun Wuyue carelessly threw out this shocking admission.

"You..."

"Uncle Master Gu, have you forgotten? Our Master has the utmost disdain for women who only cling to men for support. Xian Yin wanted to take advantage of the Demon Young Master’s interest in me to marry me off, thereby removing a future competitor for the role of Sect Master while gaining the Demon Young Master’s backing - a pretty thought indeed.

But she forgot the Master’s character. Even if I personally killed Xian Yin, you couldn’t do anything about it. Not to mention, you have no evidence to prove I hired someone to kill her."

After finishing her statement, Yun Wuyue pushed aside the hand of the beautiful woman with the surname Gu that was blocking her, and left straightaway. Even though the beautiful woman’s strength was far above hers, she dared not stop Yun Wuyue.

Because if this matter really got escalated to Yin Tian’s attention, it was uncertain who would ultimately be at a disadvantage.
