"I didn't want to reveal myself, but since you know, I can only let you die." The Black Dragon spoke coldly.
"The Devil Cult, nothing more than rats that can't even show their faces in public." Lin Yaoyao replied coldly.
"Looking for death!"
The Black Dragon swung his huge cleaver, blocking Lin Yaoyao's escape routes.
Lin Yaoyao formed a fist with her left hand and, just as the cleaver swung down, she punched it aside. Then, she raised her spirit sword and stabbed straight through the Black Dragon's clavicle.
The intense pain was unbearable for the Black Dragon.
Just as he was about to scream, Lin Yaoyao punched him, knocking him unconscious.
"Hmph, I said the Devil Cult is nothing more than rats that can't even show their faces." Lin Yaoyao sneered.
After knocking out both of them, Lin Yaoyao kicked them off the cliff, directly into a septic tank.
Splat!
Feces flew everywhere, spewing out uncontrollably.
More than a dozen disciples nearby were splattered all over.
They all looked at each other and vomited.
Unable to bear the stench, they all ran back to the Beast Taming Peak to clean themselves.
"Who's trying to target my Xiaoyao Peak?" Lin Yaoyao pondered in confusion.
And they've even colluded with the Devil Cult.
After pondering for a while, Lin Yaoyao simply threw the two of them off Xiaoyao Peak.
No matter who it is, as long as they dare to come, I'll make sure they regret it.
With that thought, Lin Yaoyao gazed towards the Xiaoyao Pavilion.
She had to protect her master's safety. Otherwise, with his Cultivation level of Qi Refinement, anyone could easily defeat him.
"Master, wait for me. Your disciple is coming to save you!"
Outside Xiaoyao Peak.
The ten Dark Shadows of the Devil Cult had gathered.
"It should be about time. With the strength of Black Tiger and Black Dragon, they should have subdued the master and disciple of Xiaoyao Peak!" a Dark Shadow whispered softly.
"Let's go in!" Tian Jia shouted.
"Yes!" the others replied.
The ten of them were the strongest forces of the Demon Music Palace, skilled in assassination, each with the Cultivation level of Yuan Ying.
Their names were arranged from Tian Jia to Tian Gui, with higher rankings indicating stronger abilities.
Inside the Xiaoyao Pavilion.
Ye Kong woke up from the Xiaoyao Pavilion, catching the stench.
"Who's been defecating all over my Xiaoyao Peak? This smell has even reached my Xiaoyao Pavilion!" Ye Kong frowned. The stench permeated most of Xiaoyao Peak.
Wasn't it supposed to not spread?
Qin Shou, are you screwing me over? No, you're screwing over your uncle!
"You've made my Xiaoyao Peak stink to high heaven, so don't blame your uncle for punishing you!" Ye Kong said angrily.
He was annoyed that the promised odorless fertilizer had instead become even more pungent at night.
Even if it was the Sect Master's order, you can't be so lackadaisical!
Don't you know how bad this stench can affect one's sleep?
If this smell reaches Peach Mountain, my disciple will surely faint from disgust!
As Ye Kong was about to use his Spiritual Power, he suddenly...
Sensed ten people sneaking up.
They had excellent hiding abilities and each held sharp blades, their auras concealed.
"Where did these pests come from?" Ye Kong frowned.
What are they doing on my Xiaoyao Peak at night?
Are they here to deal with my disciple?
Ye Kong frowned slightly, sensing the demonic aura on them. They clearly weren't good people.
Ye Kong moved his feet, and the next second, he appeared silently in front of the ten of them.
"Remember, don't expose your auras. First, go meet Black Tiger and Black Dragon!" Tian Jia instructed.
"Understood!" the others replied.
"I've heard the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak are exceptionally beautiful. Should we kidnap her on our way out and present her to the Palace Master?" Tian Yi asked.
"Agreed." Tian Jia nodded.
Sure enough, they're here to deal with my disciple.
Then I can't let you go.
Ye Kong mobilized his Spiritual Power and lightly raised his palm.
"Bad, there's a..."
Tian Jia sensed the threat behind him.
But before he could finish his sentence, Ye Kong swiped his palm, sending all ten of them flying.
Tian Jia lost consciousness before he could even react.
They didn't even know who had knocked them out.
Ye Kong looked at the ten people in front of him, hesitating whether to kill them or hand them over to the Sect Master.
To interrogate them about their purpose in the Star River Sect, he would have to leave it to the Sect Master.
The stench in the air suddenly interrupted Ye Kong's thoughts.
Ah, right, I still need to punish Qin Shou.
Ye Kong snapped back to reality, looking at the ten unconscious assassins lying on the ground.
An idea struck him.
With a wave of his palm, Ye Kong sent all ten Dark Shadows flying into the septic tank.
He formed a hand seal, casting a small formation to seal them in the cesspool.
Once the seal is broken...
Splat!
Feces will fly everywhere.
"Nephew, this is a little lesson for you. Don't blame your uncle." Ye Kong said calmly.
You were the one who first made my Xiaoyao Peak stink, so don't blame your uncle for giving you a little punishment.
With that, Ye Kong headed towards Peach Mountain.
He had to protect his disciple. Who knows if these pests had any backup plans?
Although he didn't know their intentions, as a master, he had to protect his disciple.
After dealing with the assassins, Lin Yaoyao was also heading towards her master.
Her master was so weak, she couldn't let anything happen to him.
The two of them, unknowingly thinking of protecting each other, hastened towards each other's locations.
At the edge of Peach Mountain.
Ye Kong had just stepped into Peach Mountain when he saw Lin Yaoyao.
Lin Yaoyao was also surprised to see her master. They met...
Under the moonlight, the two faced each other, creating a harmonious scene.
"Master, do you know that there are Devil Cult members on Xiaoyao Peak now?"
"Why are you coming to Peach Mountain at night? Don't you know it's dangerous?"
This master really worries me. I'm supposed to be protecting you!
Ye Kong frowned at Lin Yaoyao for going out at night.
It's so dangerous at night, and you're just wandering around?
If it weren't for me taking care of those pests earlier, you would've been in danger, you know.
This disciple really doesn't give me peace of mind.
"Disciple, aren't you afraid of encountering demons and monsters when you go out at night?" Ye Kong asked.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but feel contempt.
Afraid of ghosts?
I see, that's why you came to Peach Mountain at night. You're afraid of ghosts.
Master, we're cultivators. Have you ever seen a cultivator afraid of ghosts?
Do you know there are assassins out there that are even more terrifying than ghosts?
This master is really not giving me peace of mind.
What if more villains appear at night? What will you do?
"Master, I'm not afraid of ghosts and monsters." Lin Yaoyao said.
"Good, that's good." Ye Kong nodded. "Disciple, Xiaoyao Peak has been unstable lately. I'm afraid something might happen to you, so I came to Peach Mountain to protect you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but feel contemptuous.
Master, it's clearly you who's afraid of ghosts and came to find me.
And you say you're protecting me?
I'm at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, while you're only at Qi Refinement. Who's protecting who?
Ah, my master is too proud.
Well, I won't expose you.
"Thank you, Master." Lin Yaoyao nodded.
Ye Kong nodded slightly and followed Lin Yaoyao back to the thatched cottage on Peach Mountain.
Upon entering the room, Ye Kong was immediately greeted by the unique and captivating fragrance emanating from his disciple's body.
Moreover, to his surprise, he spotted the Purple Phoenix Spirit he had given to his disciple lying on the bed.
Upon seeing the Purple Phoenix Spirit, Lin Yaoyao's pretty face flushed, and she quickly scrambled to put it away.
"Disciple, didn't you use this... for that?"
"Uh..."
"But it's alright."
"Master, please don't overthink it. Your disciple hasn't used it for anything."
"If you're worried, I can explain."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
