Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

202: Section 202”Keep the gold coins, I don’t want them anymore.”

The young lady nodded, then looked at the large pile of gold coins and scratched her head, saying, ”I can’t carry this much!”

Seeing her like this, Yun Xiancheng smiled slightly and subconsciously rubbed her head. ”Then I’ll keep them for you for the time being, how about it?”

The young lady’s eyes lit up. ”You have a storage ring!?” ”Mm.”

And so, Yun Xiancheng collected the money, Xiao Yi Xian collected the herbs, and Linger stuck to Yun Xiancheng; the three of them were quite orderly.

The ice spirit flame grass was also another main ingredient for the blood lotus pill that Xiao Yan needed to absorb Heavenly Flames, and now they had collected it all in one go. After the three finished dividing the herbs, they turned their gaze toward the three stone boxes on the bluestone platform.

”We need keys,” Xiao Yi Xian said.

Yun Xiancheng spoke as he walked to the front of the tomb owner’s remains, seeing three keys hanging from the skeletal hand at a glance. Seeing this, Linger couldn’t help but say,

”This tomb owner is quite interesting, turning their own grave into a treasure trove. Isn’t this just making it easy for grave robbers?” One grave robber said to the other two grave robbers that the tomb owner putting treasures in the tomb made it easy for grave robbers.

”Perhaps they didn’t want their legacy to be lost?” Xiao Yi Xian smiled.

Suddenly, she felt a powerful surge of Dou Qi from Yun Xiancheng’s direction. She turned her head and saw Yun Xiancheng suddenly retreat three steps.

His body was surrounded by green Wind-Attribute Dou Qi, his robes rustled, and his hair flew in the wind, making him look heroic and formidable. Meanwhile, the tomb owner’s corpse, which had been sitting on the stone chair, had somehow awakened. It swung a withered fist, striking hard at the spot where Yun Xiancheng had just been standing, letting out a muffled sound. ”Watch out!” Xiao Yi Xian cried out in alarm, her voice filled with worry.

Yun Xiancheng looked at the tomb owner’s corpse with a bit of a headache. If he remembered correctly, there was a map fragment of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame in this tomb owner’s bones, which was a key item for a later quest.

He had to be careful in dealing with it to avoid damaging the key item.

Yun Xiancheng discarded the idea of using high-destruction Dou Techniques and began to duel with the skeleton.

”A Peak Dou Ling skeleton? But... it was only a Dou Ling when it was alive. Now that it’s been dead for so long, how much power can it still have?” Yun Xiancheng was fearless. Without using any large-scale Dou Techniques, his strength was actually on par with this Peak Dou Ling skeleton.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi Xian bit her lip and made a decision in her heart. She had suspected Yun Xiancheng of having ill intentions many times before, but this time, she absolutely

could not stand by and watch him face the danger alone.

”Yun Xiancheng, hold it off for now! Let me lend you a hand!”

Xiao Yi Xian gave a delicate shout and quickly ran behind Yun Xiancheng, her eyes closely fixed on the revived skeleton, seemingly searching for the secret of its reanimation.

Suddenly, she sensed a faint aura of life still existing within the corpse, flickering and elusive.

She quickly took out a silver needle wrapped with fine white silk thread from her medicinal cauldron space. The needle was as thin as a cow’s hair, shimmering with a cold light under the illumination of the Moonlight Stone.

Then, she took a deep breath, concentrated her mind, used all her strength, and suddenly threw the silver needle.

The silver needle was like an arrow leaving a bow, piercing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, accurately shooting toward the skeleton’s back, heading straight for the depths of its marrow. In the next moment, the silver needle accurately pierced a deeply hidden gu bug within the skeleton.

With the sudden death of the gu bug, the skeleton, which had been incredibly powerful, seemed to lose all support. In an instant, it was like a pile of collapsed building blocks, crashing and shattering into fragments all over the ground.

Yun Xiancheng was quick-eyed and swift-handed, grabbing a certain bone that felt strangely heavy. With a slight exertion of force, he extracted the Purification Lotus Demon Flame map fragment hidden inside and gripped it tightly in his hand.

”Thanks.”

Yun Xiancheng turned his head and nodded to Xiao Yi Xian, sincerely thanking her for her help. ”What is this?”

Xiao Yi Xian leaned in and asked.

Yun Xiancheng carefully unfolded the scroll in his hand and found it was a map made of an unknown material, with some strange markings drawn on it that looked very mysterious.

Xiao Yi Xian immediately lost interest and curled her lip, saying:

”Alright, since this troublesome skeleton has been dealt with, let’s hurry and open the boxes. Maybe there’s some treasure hidden inside.”

100 Dividing the Treasure

Suddenly, in the silent stone room, a slight crisp sound exploded like a clap of thunder.

An ancient box slowly opened, and inside lay a colorful scroll, shimmering with mysterious light.

”There’s a faint poison gas swirling around this scroll. Perhaps you should check it first?” Yun Xiancheng turned his head slightly and looked at Xiao Yi Xian with a gentle gaze.

Xiao Yi Xian nodded and carefully took out the scroll. Lifting her slender hand, she browsed through it carefully, then parted her vermilion lips and spoke softly, ”Indeed. It’s a technique for the Art of Poison Control.”

She looked up at Yun Xiancheng with a hint of inquiry in her clear eyes. ”Do you truly not care about my identity as a Poison Master?”

Seeing her cautious appearance, Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but laugh. His heart felt even more pity for her. He reached out and placed his hand on her soft hair, rubbing it gently with a hint of indulgence in his tone as he explained:

”I really don’t care. To me, being useful is enough.”

However, before he could finish, both Yun Xiancheng’s and Xiao Yi Xian’s bodies stiffened for a moment, and the atmosphere froze. Oh no! I’ve gotten so used to rubbing her head that I subconsciously did it without thinking!

Yun Xiancheng cried out in his heart, wishing he could slap himself, but he still maintained that gentle smile on his face, not even daring to move his hand an inch.

Xiao Yi Xian’s delicate body trembled slightly. She was clearly not used to such an intimate gesture at all, and her heart was racing like a panicked deer. After a long while, Yun Xiancheng finally broke the silence, feigning composure:

”Shall we continue opening the next box?” ”Mm...”

Xiao Yi Xian’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz. She nodded gently, her cheeks already flushed with a faint blush.

Feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted, Yun Xiancheng quickly shifted his attention and opened the next stone box. What met his eyes was another scroll, with small characters on the side that read: Xuan Tier High-Grade flying Dou Technique: Eagle’s Wings.

”Then I’ll gift this scroll to her; my junior sister might need it.” Yun Xiancheng held the scroll toward Xiao Yi Xian and added:

”A flying Dou Technique... as you know, I already have one.”

Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly, a hint of envy flashing in her beautiful eyes. She said softly, ”You’re so good to your junior sister.”

”Hmm? Isn’t this quite normal? Because she is my... junior sister.” Yun Xiancheng shrugged nonchalantly and put the flying Dou Technique into his storage ring.

Xiao Yi Xian bit her lip but didn’t say anything more. Their relationship was still a bit distant after all. Some words were better left unsaid,

to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

”There’s still one last stone box. Let’s hurry and open it, then we can head back early.” Xiao Yi Xian changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on the slightly ambiguous topic.

Yun Xiancheng also understood and shifted his gaze to the last stone box. He skillfully opened the box and saw it was a Xuan Tier High-Grade Dou Technique.

”How about giving this to you?” Yun Xiancheng looked at Linger. Linger nodded gently:

”I can take it back and give it to the group.” Just then,

a series of dense footsteps clearly reached Yun Xiancheng’s and Xiao Yi Xian’s ears, getting louder as they approached.

Xiao Yi Xian’s face instantly turned pale, and she hurriedly explained:

”It wasn’t me who called them!” ”It wasn’t me either!”

Linger’s face was equally pale. This situation was truly too easy to misunderstand.

Yun Xiancheng remained calm in the face of danger. He reached out his long arms and pulled Xiao Yi Xian and Linger tightly into his embrace. His face was as calm as water, and his voice carried a convincing power:

”I believe you.”

Although Xiao Yi Xian didn’t know why Yun Xiancheng had suddenly pulled her into his arms, seeing his calm and deep eyes, she also gradually felt at ease. She leaned her head gently against his chest and said softly:

”Mm. It’s good that you believe us.”

Linger’s face was flushed red, and her heart was pounding as she lay on Yun Xiancheng’s other side.

Why did Yun Xiancheng suddenly hug them? First, it was to take advantage of the situation.

Xiao Yi Xian’s body was actually very soft, and her waist was especially noteworthy. As the footsteps drew closer, an arrogant voice also rang out.

”Heh heh, Xiao Yi Xian, thanks for leading the way. It seems the news I got was indeed true!”

A dozen figures slowly emerged from the darkness outside the door. A familiar, faint laugh rang out triumphantly in the stone room. ”Mu Li!”

Hearing this voice, Xiao Yi Xian instantly gritted her teeth.

But as soon as Mu Li entered, he saw Yun Xiancheng, Xiao Yi Xian, and Linger hugging together, and his face turned red instantly.

It wasn’t the shy red of Young ladies, but the kind of red from being explosive with rage. ”You... you... you all...”

He was so angry that he couldn’t speak for a moment.

This was the second purpose of suddenly hugging Xiao Yi Xian. ”You adulterous couple!”

Mu Li roared, but he quickly calmed down and sneered, ”But unfortunately, you adulterous couple will be dead soon.”

”How did you find this place?” Xiao Yi Xian frowned and said:

”I never told anyone except my assistant!”

”The answer is obvious, isn’t it, Xiao Yi Xian? If you surrender now, I’ll be merciful and let you off, and let you see how our Wolf Head Mercenary Group conquers Qingshan Town!”

Mu Li sneered.

Hearing that her own assistant had betrayed her, her heart tightened, and her hands rested weakly on Yun Xiancheng.

A sense of loneliness and helplessness washed over Xiao Yi Xian. This...

Yun Xiancheng whispered in her ear:

”It’s okay, Xiao Yi Xian, I’m by your side.”

Hearing Yun Xiancheng’s gentle words, Xiao Yi Xian’s sense of helplessness instantly vanished. ”Xiancheng, you said you would protect me, right?”

She said softly in Yun Xiancheng’s arms. ”Of course, my lady.”

Yun Xiancheng held both Xiao Yi Xian and Linger as he looked at Mu Li.

”A mercenary group without even a Great Dou Master... frogs at the bottom of a well, how dare you bark like this?” ”A mere Dou Practitioner dares to be so arrogant?”

Young Group Leader Mu Li was a Six-Star Dou Practitioner. He considered himself a genius, and the youth before him, who looked fifteen or sixteen, couldn’t possibly be stronger than him! ”Enough talk, attack together!”

Along with Mu Li’s shout, five brilliant sword lights moved. Then, without any suspense, five streaks of blood flashed.

Five mercenaries fell to the ground with a thud, their headless corpses still spraying blood. !?

The remaining mercenaries never expected such a thing to happen, and the expressions on their faces turned into terror. ”You...”

Mu Li looked at Yun Xiancheng’s young face and finally squeezed out these words: ”You’re not a Dou Practitioner!?”

Immediately after, another sword light flashed, carving a hideous deep gash across his chest.

Along with his corpse, four more headless mercenary corpses fell to the ground. Yun Xiancheng once again used a Dou Technique to kill the remaining people.

Seeing Yun Xiancheng killing people like cutting melons and vegetables, Xiao Yi Xian was also stunned. This person, who looked so gentle and kind, was unexpectedly ruthless when it came to killing.

”Why leave his corpse whole?” Xiao Yi Xian asked.

”Hmm. I like air-drying them.”

Yun Xiancheng had a meaningful smile on his face.

101 Two Days with the Young ladies

”Do you think if someone sees this corpse years later, they’ll think it’s some kind of burial tradition?”

Yun Xiancheng took out a rope and hung Mu Li’s corpse high up on the cliff, letting it be exposed to the wind and rain as a warning. He turned around and looked at Xiao Yi Xian and Linger.

Xiao Yi Xian stared blankly at Yun Xiancheng’s act of hanging the corpse, feeling a bit dazed. She never expected that the gentlemanly Yun Xiancheng would do something so chilling.

After a moment, she suddenly gave a sweet smile, like an iceberg melting or a hundred flowers blooming, and said softly:

”I think I understand why you don’t think my practicing poison is a bad thing. It turns out you, Xiancheng... are also a ruthless person.”

Linger looked at Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Xiancheng, feeling that they seemed to share many secrets. However, she was lighthearted and sat directly next to Yun Xiancheng:

”I didn’t expect the young master to have such interests.” ”What, were you two scared?”

Yun Xiancheng sat cross-legged beside her and asked.

The bright moonlight poured down, splashing onto his snow-white clothes, making him look even more handsome and ethereal. ”Scared? You aren’t even afraid of me... so why would I be afraid of you?”

Xiao Yi Xian replied. Linger nodded:

”I was a little scared, but since it’s something the young master did, Linger can accept it.”

”Mm, don’t be afraid. This is my creed in life: I will be as warm as spring toward those close to me, but I will be as cruel as winter toward my enemies.”

Xiao Yi Xian also sat leaning beside Yun Xiancheng. The moonlight stretched their three shadows very long, and at the end of the shadows, their figures were huddled closely together like a perfect match.

”It’s good to be your friend.”

Compared to before, she felt that the distance between her and Yun Xiancheng had shortened significantly. ”You are the people close to me.”

Yun Xiancheng’s words carried a strong sense of possessiveness, but Xiao Yi Xian didn’t seem to understand the concept and took ’people close to me’ to mean friends.

Linger, however, blushed slightly but didn’t say much. ”What do you plan to do for the next two days?” Yun Xiancheng asked, softly changing the subject.

”Me? Naturally, I’m going to study that Poison Scripture. And you?” ”Accompany you.”

Yun Xiancheng answered without hesitation.

Xiao Yi Xian’s pretty face flushed, and she lightly patted his shoulder, grumbling playfully:
