CH 9.2

Several white lanterns lit up and floated in the treetops. Under the light from the lanterns and the moon, over 20 women in white clothing floated down and surrounded a group of young men.

Dressed in blue and white robes with wide fluttering sleeves that flew in the wind, at this moment, he was no longer leisurely and calm as usual but exuded a menacing aura from his entire body. His expression was icy.

In his hand was the famous Xiao’s Xiao Phoenix Crying Blade.

The reputation of “witches” was not derived from thin air. All the women were dressed in very thin clothing, practically nothing but a flimsy, fine gauze. Between the flashes of action, their beautiful bodies were faintly visible and they did not even wear an inner layer underneath. The young master turned a blind eye and sent forth palm strikes to attack the enemy. Although he was originally skilled in swordsmanship, there were many opponents. He would not fall behind, but it was difficult for him to momentarily rid himself of the entanglement.

In a hidden place, two people watched the battle from afar.

Lei Lei had lived in Qian Yue Cave for a few days and knew that those women were servants of Qian Yue Cave. Was “Xiao Bai” not abhorrent of evil? Why did he not use his sword to deal with those “witches”?

As she was wondering this, Shang Guan Qiu Yue smiled and told her the answer, “It’s because father, Xiao Yuan, had a final wish that the Phoenix Crying Blade would not kill women.”

This beautiful elder brother was too scary and could guess even the slightest things others were thinking. If he found out she was not his younger sister… Returning to Xiao Bai’s side was the right choice! Lei lei shivered. She carefully put away her emotions and continued to watch the battle.

Shortly after, the younger master was already impatient. He waved his palm to push away the women who were close to him and said coldly, “If you don’t get out of the way, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

The women did not answer and just fought on. Even though their swordsmanship was not very good, they all stuck to a strict formation and firmly trapped the young master who was unable to extricate himself from them.

It was a fight of swords against palm techniques. The young master knew it was difficult to win and that he needed to break the formation and charge out. So he saw an opportunity and struck out with his palm. Seeing that a woman on the right was about to collide into his hand, he was unable to dodge it at all. Unexpectedly at this moment, the woman smiled charmingly and moved her body slightly, pushing out her chest.

His handsome face reddened slightly and the young master withdrew his palm immediately.

In an instant, his chance to escape was lost and he was surrounded again.

Lei Lei laughed when she saw this. He was a gentleman, truly an honest gentleman who could be taken advantage of.

Shang Guan Qiu Yue laughed, “What a righteous person, interesting!”

Evil Elder Brother, the subordinates you taught are really evil! Lei Lei glanced at him and was about to speak when the young master suddenly smiled coldly.

A silver light flashed and there was a miserable wail.

Lei Lei immediately turned her gaze back and saw that of the 20 or so women, more than a dozen had fallen to the ground and were clutching at their severed right hand. Their beautiful faces were severely distorted in pain and most of them had passed out on the spot. The remaining ten or so who were not injured all looked in horror at the man with the sword, somewhat overwhelmed.

With the formation broken, the young master slowly resheathed his knife. He was incredibly elegant and imposing.

“The Phoenix Crying Blade will not be used to kill women, but there’s nothing saying it can’t cut off the hands of demon women,” he said lightly.

Too merciless! Lei Lei did not dare to continue watching this frightening and bloody scene. Turning her face away, she desperately pulled Shang Guan Qiu Yue beside her. Elder Brother, if we don’t go out soon, all the beauties under your command will turn into Venus!

“Xiao’s Xiao Phoenix Crying Blade, really did not disappoint.” Shang Guan Qiu Yue’s expression did not change and he lowered his head with a smile, “Elder Brother is going to bring you out, don’t be afraid.”

Overhead, a shadow passed silently and inconceivably slowly. Under the half moon, a ribbon fluttered like an immortal flying from afar. Two white silhouettes settled on a tall boulder.

The young master remained calm and motionless.

Lei Lei immediately put on an expression that a kidnapped person should have and exclaimed, “Xiao Bai!”

The young master immediately looked up, “You…” Suddenly seeing the man in white beside her, he recalled how his father had been poisoned by this person. When enemies come face to face, their eyes blazed with hatred. He could not help but grit his teeth, “Shang Guan Qiu Yue.”

The women on the side quickly picked up the injured and retreated.

Shang Guan Qiu Ye smiled and said, “Master Xiao is safe and sound.”

The young master said. “Conditions?”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue remained silent and raised his hand to caress Lei Lei’s neck.

Lei Lei seized the opportunity to show her acting skills and struggled, “Xiao Bai, don’t worry about me! Kill this devil quickly and avenge the old master!”

“Really want him to kill Elder Brother?” There was a very low laugh in her ears.

“Will he be fooled if we don’t put on a show? Do you think he’s an idiot?” Lei Lei glared at him and raised her voice, “Xiao Bai, hurry up and kill him, get rid of evil for the citizens. Don’t worry about me!”

Of course, the young master would not ignore her. He snapped sternly, “Shang Guan Qiu Yue, what exactly do you want?”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue looked at Lei Lei with interest, “Phoenix Crying Blade.”

Lei Lei was dumbfounded when she heard the conditions. Hey, even if the show needed to be believable, there was no need to ask for such a difficult condition. What was the Phoenix Crying Blade? It was the family’s famous ancestral sword! Who was she, she was not related to him at all so how could he be willing to exchange that thing? If he refused and simply took his sword and attacked directly, would their plan not be foiled?

“Xiaobai” seemed to be someone who could not be bargained with. She had no choice but to stare at Shang Guan Qiu Yue desperately. Elder Brother, lower the conditions a little!

Shang Guan Qiu Yue smiled and repeated, “Leave the Phoenix Crying Blade behind.”

The handsome elder brother was firm with his words and refused to lower the conditions. Lei Lei began to regret acting too realistically. In desperation, she had no choice but to pin her hopes on the young master. Do not be so stupid and actually be tricked into exchanging your precious sword, or I will be guilty.

The young master was silent for a moment and said coldly, “In the future, I will definitely kill you, you devil.”

Placing the sword on the ground, he retreated.

“Xiao Bai” was so kind! I will never harm you! Lei Lei burst into tears.

Shang Guan Qiu Yue raised his eyebrows, “Are you thinking that he treats you well?”

Having her thoughts seen through again, Lei Lei rolled her eyes. Handsome Elder Brother, you really are the devil, so despicable. Looking at his morality, it was not even just a level lower than “Xiao Bai”’s, but was inversely proportional to his beautiful appearance.

Shang Guan Qiu Yue whispered, “Silly girl, you can’t be soft-hearted when dealing with the likes of him. If he knows who you are, you’ll be in danger.”

Well, there is a possibility of being slaughtered, Lei Lei thought silently.

Shang Guan Qiu Yue sighed and ordered, “When the time comes, Elder Brother will come find you. Remember to be careful.”

At least you still knew how to care about your younger sister. Lei Lei felt a little comforted and was about to answer when Shang Guan Qiu Yue suddenly grabbed her by the back of her collar, then threw her lightly —

As if she had lost weight, Lei Lei floated straight into the air like a kite being let loose to fly.

“Since Master Xiao came personally to retrieve someone, how could I not give face?” Shang Guan Qiu Yue laughed.

Realising the feeling of flying through the clouds, Lei Lei was scared half to death and did not even have the strength to cry. Handsome Elder Brother, it’s impressive just how much of a jerk you are. Expressing concern one moment, then turning your back and not taking me seriously. If “Xiao Bai” did not come to rescue in time, then won’t your younger sister, as in me, break my head from falling so high?!

As she saw that she was about to hit the ground, a powerful hand reached out from the side and caught her precisely by the waist, then carried her for about two feet further before settling down.

At the same time, a white shadow flew straight out of Shang Guan Qiu Yue’s sleeve and took the Phoenix Crying Blade from the ground.

Watching his ancestral sword falling into the hands of the enemy, the young master was not alarmed and simply smiled coldly, “It’s but a mere sword. Cave Leader Shang Guan really places too much emphasis on it, even your Duo Qing Veils have come out.”
