Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 381 - 256: Let Chen Mu Come_3
Upon arrival, it was clear that the leader was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Heavenly Seal Sect, while the rest were from the Outer Sect.
At this moment,
Chen Yue, who had been observing the earth fissure, finally stood up and looked back at the disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect. There was no fear on her face, just an indifferent tone as she said, "This vein was first discovered by the Demon-Slaying Office. According to the rules, it already belongs to the Demon-Slaying Office. Is your Heavenly Seal Sect planning to seize it by force?"
The leader among the Heavenly Seal Sect’s Inner Sect Disciples, Nie Yi, was taken aback upon seeing Chen Yue. He sized her up and said teasingly, "Does the Demon-Slaying Office’s White-Clothed Guard have such beauties? That official uniform doesn’t suit you at all. You’d look better in a skirt and blouse, which women should wear."

"How audacious!"
"How dare you be so disrespectful!"
Upon hearing the disrespectful words Nie Yi spoke to Chen Yue, Wu Yuan and the other Green-Clothed Guards immediately reprimanded him.
As members of the Heavenly Seal Sect’s Inner Sect, they might not dare to respond if they were insulted, but they certainly had the courage to retort on behalf of Chen Yue when Nie Yi was rude to her, especially since Chen Yue was not an ordinary White-Clothed Guard.
Nie Yi, observing this stance and glancing at Chen Yue, had already guessed something, but he wasn’t afraid and just smiled, saying, "If I’m not mistaken, you must be the sister of ’Qiankun Blade’ from the Seven Profound Sect? I have indeed heard of your name and reputation. Given that, how about we split the obsidian vein half and half, what do you think?"
Chen Mu had a significant reputation, but Nie Yi was no ordinary character either. The Nie Family was prominent within the Heavenly Seal Sect, and its patriarch was even the current Sect Master. Although he wasn’t the direct heir and was somewhat distant from the main line, he wouldn’t flee just because of a reputation.
After all, Chen Yue was still just Chen Yue, not Chen Mu himself.
"Hmph, indulging in bandit-like behavior, is this how your Heavenly Seal Sect, which prides itself as the righteous path, conducts itself?"
Chen Yue looked at Nie Yi and coldly replied.

Nie Yi chuckled and said, "What bandit-like behavior are you talking about? You all have just arrived here and discovered this is an obsidian mine. We have also just arrived. Isn’t it fair to share it half and half?"
As he spoke, he stroked his chin and said, "If Miss Yue is willing to marry into our Heavenly Seal Sect and enter my household, then perhaps this half of the obsidian vein could act as a betrothal gift."
Upon hearing these words,
the faces of the many Green-Clothed Guards behind them all showed anger.
Yet, Chen Yue remained very calm. She looked at Nie Yi contemptuously and scoffed, "I saw that you kept your hair long and carried a feminine air; I actually thought you were a sister. It turns out you’re a man? But I guess you’re probably a weakling, aren’t you? It might be better if you cut off those locks and try wooing men; perhaps that would give you a chance."
"You..."
Nie Yi didn’t expect such vulgar and malicious words to come from Chen Yue. Temporarily turning pale with rage, he was unable to restrain his fury and said, "Sharp-tongued girl, let’s see if you have even a fraction of your brother’s skill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he lunged toward Chen Yue with a barehanded Fist Seal, like a charging wolf.
Chen Yue’s eyes flashed with a hint of light. Once she confirmed that Nie Yi was not in the Bone Tempering Realm, she faced him without fear, brandishing her sword to meet the attack. The two immediately clashed, the wolf-like Fist Seals and sword light intertwined in a deadly dance.
After a brief exchange, Chen Yue realized Nie Yi’s strength was not below hers. After all, he was from the Great Sect’s Inner Sect, and she had heard of the Heavenly Seal Sect’s ’Cangtian Nine Seals.’ However, her prowess was not weak either; both were roughly evenly matched.
However,
at that moment, she was sufficiently calm, while Nie Yi’s attacks were tinged with anger. This slight difference might not mean much to those above the Five Viscera Realm, but in the Tendon Changing Realm, even the slightest deviation could be critical.
Chen Mu had taught her never to get easily provoked by an opponent. Instead, she could try to provoke her adversary. She took Chen Mu’s advice to heart and certainly wasn’t angered by the earlier exchange of words.
Swish! Swish!
Nie Yi’s anger-filled attacks inevitably led to a slight disorder in his moves. At first, it was not obvious, but after a series of ten moves, Chen Yue gradually gained the upper hand.
Nie Yi, realizing something was amiss, tried to calm his mind and turn the situation around. However, at this level of martial arts, once you’ve fallen behind, it’s difficult to reverse the situation. Chen Yue certainly didn’t intend to give him that opportunity.
From afar,
several Outer Sect Disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect saw Nie Yi at a disadvantage and their expressions changed.
There was a risk of Nie Yi losing, which was not a good sign. On the other side, Chen Yue’s moves were ruthless and decisive. Moreover, she was not an ordinary character. With a brother known throughout the Cold North on the Wind Cloud List and backed by both Chen Mu and the Seven Profound Sect, she wasn’t afraid of killing Nie Yi in a duel. The Martial World was accustomed to life and death, and after all, it was Nie Yi who had provoked the fight.
If Nie Yi really suffered a mishap and died under Chen Yue’s sword, with the backing of Chen Mu and the Seven Profound Sect, Chen Yue could stand unafraid. However, for the accompanying Outer Sect disciples, that would be a disaster.
At last,
someone could no longer restrain themselves and stepped forward to intervene.
But Chen Yue’s accompanying multitude of Green-Clothed Guards were not just there for show. They immediately stepped forward to block them, and both sides quickly became embroiled in turmoil, the situation escalating rapidly.
"I underestimated this woman,"
Nie Yi, pressed beneath Chen Yue’s sword light, secretly sensed trouble.
He indeed had some knowledge of Chen Yue but wasn’t well-acquainted. Today was his first encounter with her. Although he had now grasped the techniques of her swordsmanship, a fusion of Gen Mountain and Kan Water, and he had measures to counter it, his initial anger had put him at a disadvantage, and he found no opportunity to change his approach.
