Chapter 497: The Person Protecting Her from Behind
Indeed, this lady was truly a descendent of a sect. The moment she made a move, she used a cultivation technique in the realm of True Essence. A surge of aura full of destructiveness approached quickly. Everything it passed turned into a clear white icy mist. Even the small blades of grass on the ground were frozen into ice crystals.
Ling Chuxi had long since been prepared for an attack. A wave of spiral Battle Qi lashed forward and then with the recoiling force of the attack, she retreated. She was not confident in securing a hard-won battle, but she was still quite confident she’d be able to retreat in one piece.
“Impudence! How dare you be so rude towards our Miss!” cried four shrill voices. Four of the lady’s handmaidens suddenly appeared from the shadows and pierced four swords towards Ling Chuxi from four different directions.
The situation just turned critical!
Just then, four people in black clothes appeared behind Ling Chuxi. Each of them resembled specters of a dark night. Their swords left their sheaths and the man who was taking the lead shouted angrily, “You must be seeking death! How dare you actually be rude to Miss Chuxi!” The four of them stood defensively with auras as strong and unwavering as the wind and pine. One could feel that their might was strong and suppressive. The dark of night made them appear even more mysterious and powerful. The gleam of their swords as they left their sheaths made one feel frightened.
This mighty aura, this elegant demeanor was obviously not one that the four handmaidens could compete against.
Four went against four and the ending to the short battle was that the girls who had snuck an attack on Ling Chuxi shrieked as they flew backwards miserably.
Not only was the veiled lady stunned, even Ling Chuxi herself was stunned.
These four men in black suddenly appearing to help Ling Chuxi was something that she herself had never thought would happen. ‘Who were these people? Each one of them had an extraordinary cultivation level and the way they addressed her was so respectful. Whose subordinates were these?’
‘Huangfu Qingjue!’
Instantly, this name appeared in Ling Chuxi’s mind.
Aside from him, who would have such subordinates and who would wholeheartedly care about her as such? Who else was constantly protecting her? Besides Qingjue, there was no other. Ling Chuxi felt her heart turn soft as a warm and fuzzy feeling spread within it.
With so much noise going on, naturally it was not possible for Su Yizhi and the rest to not have noticed anything going on at all.
Very quickly, a few figures appeared in a rush and Ling Chuxi found Su Yizhi, Su Yizhen and a few other elders standing before her. Ling Yichen was here too with his sword at the ready, calmly protecting her by her side. As for those four black robed men, they had already quietly retreated, as if they were never here.
The few handmaidens still wanted to attack but the veiled lady waved her sleeve to stop them. They glared at Ling Chuxi with hatred a couple of times before retreating.
“Su Yizhi, do you really want to oppose Cold Moon Palace?” said the veiled lady to Su Yizhi forcefully and threateningly, suppressing the flames of fury within herself. Obviously, this lady had thought that the four men in black earlier were also members of Rejuvenation Hall.
“If anyone wants to snatch away the stream of secretly inherited medical skills of the Golden Pill Sect and exterminate the Su family, naturally I would not merely fold my arms and await death,” replied Su Yizhi without showing any weakness. In order to revive the Golden Pill Sect, he had even dared to hand over the Su family’s Resurrection Hall to Ling Chuxi, an outsider. How would he possibly yield to Cold Moon Palace?
“Su Yizhi, do you know the consequences of your actions?” asked the veiled lady.
“Consequences? Hmph, let me give you a piece of advice, young lady. All the main sects are not allowed to simply interfere in the matters of this mainland. There have been rules in place regarding such matters since thousands of years ago. Although the Golden Pill Sect has been exterminated, there are still quite a number of people from the various main sects who remember us. If Cold Moon Palace, insists on taking action against us, then I am fearful that when the time comes to face the consequences of your actions, it would not be a matter just concerning Cold Moon Palace anymore,” rebuked Su Yizhi coldly.
