Chapter 252 The Little Taoist Priest and the Peach Blossom Demon 9

"Ah, hello, Junior Sister. I am just an outer disciple of the sect. Junior Sister may not have seen me."

Tao Shu clenched her fingers under her sleeves, lowered her eyes and spoke nervously.

Xiyue glanced at her with contempt, "Oh... an outer disciple? No wonder I have never seen this senior brother before."

Xiyue slowly muttered the four words "outer disciple" as if they were something that was not worthy of her attention.

"Outer disciples are naturally far different from our direct disciples. You are lucky to have met Brother Fang this time, but you must remember your identity! Your talent is not worthy of being with Brother Fang!"

"Junior sister is right..." Tao Shu replied softly.

Before he could finish his words, Fang Yan's cold and impatient voice suddenly rang out.

"That's enough, Xiyue, he is a member of the Qingyun Sect just like us!"

Xiyue was stunned by the yelling, and stared blankly at Fang Yan, who had an ugly expression on his face. Senior Brother Fang actually scolded her?

She knew that he was always kind-hearted, but now, in front of everyone, her senior brother was so disrespectful to her.

Suddenly, she seemed to see that the eyes of her fellow disciples, who had previously been somewhat kind to her, began to turn unfriendly.

Her eyes turned red and she felt extremely aggrieved. She pushed the crowd away and ran out.

Everyone was confused by Xiyue's behavior, but their impression of her also declined.

Xia Xingyu's face had already darkened since Xiyue rushed up. He now spoke to Fang Yan expressionlessly.

"Junior Brother Fang, the one-month deadline is about to expire. Now that all the disciples of Qingyun Sect have gathered, you and this junior brother should not go out alone anymore."

After leaving these words, Xia Xingyu turned around and headed in the direction Xiyue ran away.

After everyone had waited there for half an hour, the two people who had left earlier slowly came over.

Tao Shu and Fang Yan sat in the corner, secretly looking at the two of them.

Xia Xingyu's face was gentle and she seemed to be in a good mood, while Xiyue's face was blushing, and there was some shyness, anger and guilt in her eyes. Even when she saw Fang Yan, she no longer rushed up to him to show concern as directly as before. Instead, she avoided other people's gazes with her eyes flickering.

Tao Shu finally understood that these two had been together so long ago.

She looked away and glanced at Fang Yan who was practicing without stopping for a moment. She just didn't know how Xia Xingyu would attack.

Just as Tao Shu thought, the disciples of Qingyun Sect have been training together these days. But because Tao Shu has been staying by Fang Yan's side, she could feel his gaze from time to time, and she guessed that he was planning something.

Seeing that there were only two days left before the secret realm would be closed, Tao Shu felt a little uneasy. She gave Fang Yan a talisman she had obtained earlier and told him, "Use it only when it is absolutely necessary."

As it was approaching noon, Xia Xingyu asked his disciples to stop and rest early.

Tao Shu stood still and looked around. He felt something was strange because it was too quiet.

Just as everyone sat down, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly sounded. From a distance, the disciples of Qingyun Sect saw groups of monsters with various mixed auras running towards them.

It turned out to be a beast tide!

Leading in the front were two monsters with cultivation at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and the rest of the monsters following closely behind were of various cultivation levels.

For a moment, all the disciples of Qingyun Sect became alert, each holding the long sword at their waist, waiting for Xia Xingyu's order.

Looking at the two monsters in front, Xia Xingyu curled up a bloodthirsty smile.

He shouted directly to Fang Yan, "Junior Brother Fang, we must lead away these two peak Jindan monsters first, otherwise the other disciples inside will be easily affected."

Fang Yan had already tightened his grip on his sword cautiously, "Okay."

After saying this, he glanced at Tao Shu worriedly and transmitted his thoughts through his sea of ​​consciousness.

"protect yourself."

Xia Xingyu said to the remaining disciples, "Protect Junior Sister Xiyue!"

After leaving these words, the two of them faced off against a demon beast at the peak of the Golden Core realm respectively, constantly changing their shapes to lead the demon beast away.

As soon as the two left, the other disciples and monsters also started fighting. Without waiting for others to speak, Xiyue went straight to the middle position.

With her current cultivation level of the middle stage of the Golden Core, she basically did not need help from others, but she still hid in the center, looking at the two people who left one after another with an unclear expression, hesitant inside.

On the other side, with Jiang Yueshu's soul helping to keep an eye on her, Tao Shu went directly to an edge where the monsters were weak. Taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, she used the skills that Fang Yan had taught her before.

After dealing with the monster in the hole, she said to Yu Guang who was helping her resist the monster's attack, "Senior Brother Fang is only in the late Jindan stage, I will go help him!"

Yu Guang was also a little worried, so he cooperated and restrained the other two monsters that were struggling to attack this side, allowing Tao Shu to go out through the hole that had been opened earlier.

She went directly in the direction of the previous two people and chased them with all her might. After a while, she saw two figures fighting.

Because he was worried about Tao Shu and other disciples, Fang Yan didn't bother to hide his incompetence and just wanted to get rid of the monster as soon as possible so that he could go to help.

Just when Fang Yan was about to get rid of the monster, Xia Xingyu intentionally or unintentionally led the monster towards him.

"Brother, be careful!" Tao Shu yelled.

Fang Yan then realized that something was wrong. He changed his body shape and directly distanced himself from the monster.

Seeing Fang Yan dodged and his moves becoming more and more ruthless, as if he was about to break through the monster's blockade, Xia Xingyu couldn't help but feel anxious.

He had finally managed to lure Fang Yan here today. If he let him go back, wouldn't it be a waste of this opportunity?

Thinking of this, his mind moved, and a can of medicine powder appeared in his hand out of nowhere. At the same time, he held his breath and concentrated, and sprinkled the can of medicine powder at the monster.

The colorless and odorless gas suddenly surged, and Xia Xingyu swung out several spiritual powers from his hands, creating wind blades that sent it farther.

In a moment, the monster he was fighting fell to the ground with a deafening bang.

Fang Yan then paid attention and looked over there. He was puzzled when he found that the monster in front of him began to stagger, and even the claw it had swung out earlier became weak.

He suddenly glanced at Tao Shu who was not far away. The two looked at each other and suddenly lost their strength and slowly fell to the ground.

The sudden change in the situation made Xia Xingyu, who was standing firmly in the same place, look even more awkward. Fang Yan looked at Xia Xingyu with a puzzled look on his face, "Senior Brother? Do you have an antidote?"

"Antidote?" Xia Xingyu repeated.

"Of course... no! What, did you think I was killing a monster and accidentally hurt you?"

Hearing this, Fang Yan looked at Xia Xingyu with a frown. He seemed to have thought of something and asked with a trembling voice.

"Those monsters...are you...?"

"Yes, it's me. Junior brother, your brain is quite active right now." Xia Xingyu smiled cruelly and clapped his hands as if in praise.

"You...those are our fellow disciples who have been with us day and night. Do you still remember the sect's teachings?" Fang Yan roared.

"Ha!" Xia Xingyu sneered, "What a bullshit sect motto! They are just a bunch of trash. With their talents, they can't go far. Since they will die sooner or later, what's the harm in dying earlier?"

Hearing such cold-blooded and heartless words, the light in Fang Yan's eyes gradually dimmed. For the first time, he recognized the true face of this so-called senior disciple who was regarded as a role model of righteousness by all the disciples.

"What? Do you despise me? Then why do you despise me, Junior Brother Fang?" Xia Xingyu slowly approached Fang Yan and pinched his chin hard.

"All this is thanks to you! Why do I have to sacrifice so much for the sect, but Master wants you to inherit the position of the head? And Junior Sister, why does Master want to give her to you! Do you deserve it?!!!"

"These things that I need to work very hard for but still cannot get, you can get them so easily! Why! Since the way of heaven is unfair, why can't I just rob? Practicing Taoism is against the will of heaven, so what if I go against you?"

Xia Xingyu looked arrogant, venting his long-accumulated dissatisfaction word by word.

"But I never thought of competing with you! Whether it's the position of the head of the sect or the junior sister, I don't want it." Fang Yan said calmly.

"What? Fang Yan, a talented disciple, actually wants to beg for mercy from me like this? You don't fight with me, but Master still likes you. And Junior Sister, she actually likes you! Why? I want to get what I want, so I have to fight for it. Since Junior Brother Fang doesn't want to fight with me, why don't you commit suicide here, and then I, your senior brother, will be satisfied."

"After you get out, I will announce to the world that you unfortunately died protecting the sect's disciples. In this way, won't both of us get what we want? Hahahahahaha..."

"Xia Xingyu, you actually treated the lives of cultivators as ants and committed murder. If I were alive, I would definitely kill you!" Fang Yan said coldly.

"Then...it depends on whether you have the luck to do it!" Xia Xingyu raised the dagger in his hand, ready to kill Fang Yan with one blow. Fang Yan stared at the blade, and spiritual energy flashed on the back of his hand.

Just at this moment, a stream of spiritual energy hit the dagger.

Xia Xingyu was not on guard, so the dagger naturally flew out. He looked coldly at the person who came, and it was Xiyue.

"Ayue, what do you mean?"

"Brother, can you please spare his life?" Xiyue asked instead of answering.

Xia Xingyu looked at Xiyue with dark eyes and said nothing.

Seeing that Xia Xingyu didn't answer, Xiyue pointed the sword directly at his neck.

"Brother, please don't kill him!"

After the two confronted each other for a few seconds, Xia Xingyu relaxed as if admitting defeat.

"Okay... I promise you. Put down the knife first!" Xia Xingyu stared at the blade on Xiyue's neck nervously.

Xiyue looked at him hesitantly. Xia Xingyu was even angrier when he saw that she didn't believe him, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "I will do what I promised you, but he knows too much, and I can't let him go completely."

After saying this, he walked past Xiyue and looked into Fang Yan's eyes.

Obviously, he knew in his heart that Xiyue would not ask for death, but she just wanted to force him to let Fang Yan go. He didn't want to have more conflicts with her, but he would not let Fang Yan go either, she was just torturing him in a different way.

The spiritual power on his fingertips turned, and there was a peach blossom on it. Xia Xingyu gestured to Fang Yan, "I heard that Junior Brother Fang encountered a peach blossom demon when he went out for training. Junior Brother is quite elegant, and even gave a demon a name, but is it Tao Shu?"

Fang Yan's pupils shrank. How could Xia Xingyu know so much? If Shu Shu wasn't by his side, he would probably have some doubts.

Tao Shu, who was lying on the ground a few steps behind him, stared blankly at the scene in front of him. Everything from his past life seemed to be right before his eyes.

So, is this how they made him eat the magic fruit?

The next moment, Xia Xingyu's fingertips turned again, and it turned out to be a magic fruit.

"Junior brother, eat this fruit obediently, and Tao Shu will be fine."

As Xia Xingyu watched Fang Yan's expression become increasingly ugly, his mood became even better.

"Why should I believe you?" Fang Yan's eyes became colder.

He actually dared to use Shushu to threaten me!

"Believe it or not, if Junior Brother Fang wants to gamble, then go ahead!" Xia Xingyu looked at him leisurely. The peach blossoms at his fingertips appeared in front of the two of them on their own, and then shattered into countless tiny pieces under the influence of waves of spiritual energy.

Fang Yan's face turned pale instantly. The more he struggled and twisted his face, the more viciousness in Xiyue's eyes not far away became.

Tao Shu?

When she leaves the secret realm, that will be the day when the peach blossom demon dies!

"Okay...I promise."

After a painful inner struggle, Fang Yan finally agreed. From an angle that Xia Xingyu and Xiyue couldn't see, Tao Shu could clearly see the spiritual power flashing at Fang Yan's fingertips.

Seeing this, Xia Xingyu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly. He put the magic fruit forward and was about to hand it to Fang Yan.

With a "bang" sound, a huge spiritual power attack instantly hit Xia Xingyu's face.

The corner of Xia Xingyu's mouth froze, but he still calmly circulated his spiritual energy to block it.

It's really ridiculous. No matter how talented Fang Yan is, he is only in the late Jindan stage now. He is so weak and yet he still wants to launch a sneak attack on me. He is simply courting death!

His eyes turned cold, and he had already thought about how to explain to his junior sister if he accidentally killed Fang Yan, but it was a good thing for him.

Not until he saw that his spiritual power barrier was easily broken did his expression change, and he frantically turned all his spiritual power to deal with it.

But Fang Yan's second attack followed, and he was somewhat at a loss as to how to block these spiritual attacks.

"You! You are actually at the peak of the Golden Core realm!" Xia Xingyu was shocked, but his expression changed the next second, becoming extremely sinister.

"In that case, then you can stay!"

A cruel thought flashed in Xia Xingyu's eyes, and he directly swallowed a pill that would increase his cultivation level dramatically.

Noticing that the other person's aura was getting stronger, Fang Yan moved directly towards Tao Shu's direction.

He grabbed Tao Shu's waist tightly, and when Xia Xingyu's powerful attack came, a light flashed and the two figures disappeared in an instant.
