Chapter 1046 -340: Wind and Clouds Turn into Fog

Silence is a very ambiguous form of expression because it can be interpreted in ten thousand ways, and each can be justified.

But according to the intelligence collected by the Wang patrol, this genius named Tang Luo had a notoriously bad temper. He was someone who wouldn’t even give face to holy Dao Children, and had even forced Duan Longshu of the Evil King Palace to kneel in public.

Could such a person really swallow his anger? It was highly doubtful.

Wiping the blood from his face, the enthused ghost claw manipulator straightened his collar and said to the trembling Xu Qingyue, “I shall call you Miss Xu one last time, but I hope you recognize your true status.”

He touched the wound on his face, sealed with spiritual power, and a few more drops of blood oozed out.

“Hiss~” The Wang patrol official lowered his hand and said to Xu Qingyue with a sinister smile, “I’ll remember this wound. If there’s ever a chance, I’ll have to experience your strength properly.”

“Why wait for later? You are so ruthless and brutal, not sparing even a struggling youth. Today, you will pay for your crimes with your blood!”

Although she was still shaking, Xu Qingyue stubbornly raised her long sword and swung, only to have her spiritual power dispersed by a thunderous water blast.

“Enough!” Unable to watch any longer, Bu Liunan finally spoke to Xu Qingyue, “Miss Xu, don’t complicate matters further!”

Xu Qingyue turned around angrily, her gaze fixed unyieldingly on Bu Liunan as she said, “Did you not see this Wang patrol official just kill a young man? Such conduct by the Dutian Heavenly King patrol is no different from that of demons and heretics!”

“To obstruct the Wang patrol in their duty is a crime punishable by death. It’s his bad luck that he appeared in the wrong place.”

Bu Liunan’s tone was as indifferent as if he had just accidentally crushed an ant on the sidewalk, “What’s important now is to escort Miss back to Yuanzhou. The Wang patrol has urgent matters to attend to. Let’s set off immediately.”

“I will not go with you, nor will I return to Yuanzhou with you.”

Filling her flexible sword with spiritual power once again, Xu Qingyue’s gaze was as cold as water as she said to several Wang patrol warriors in front of her, “The Xu Clan may have broken swords, but we do not have bent spines!”

“Foolish!”

Bu Liunan snorted coldly and ordered, “Take Miss Xu into custody!”

The eager officials from the Wind Department pounced like hungry wolves, especially the one from the Wang Family whose cheek had been cut by the water sword intent. He summoned half a ghost lord with the Yin-Yang Imperial Technique, ferociously attacking Xu Qingyue.

Every secret agent of the Dutian Heavenly King patrol was born in the holy lands, even the less impressive collateral descendants studied top-tier techniques of the world, and if they wished to learn, countless predecessors were available for guidance.

Therefore, even the weakest secret agent of the Wang patrol was far superior to any clan scion. If not for the fact that several officials intended to capture Xu Qingyue alive, the Princess Qingyue would have already been defeated due to severe injuries.

Though the Sword Intent of All Heavens was the number one killing technique across myriad realms, it was still closely related to the practitioner’s own sword path cultivation.

If it were the similarly ranked Elder Xu Ying, he wouldn’t even need to wield his sword domain, as the endless innate body-breaking invisible sword qi would be enough for these officials to handle. But Xu Qingyue simply wasn’t capable of that.

If not for the awakening of her Water Spirit Body bloodline significantly enhancing her aquatic sword intent, any one of these officials could have defeated her.

After all, the Dutian Heavenly King patrol is a front-line military department of the holy lands, and even a holy land scion seeking experience must possess considerable strength to qualify.

While fighting and retreating, Xu Qingyue’s space to maneuver was continuously restricted. Under the tacit coordination of the Wang patrol officers, she only had the strength to parry and no ability to counterattack.

Even if one has an iron will, lacking strength is just that, lacking strength. Combat has never been a simple game where victory is assured just by having the resolve to sink one’s boats and fight to the death.

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Bu Liunan retracted the Kui Ox illusion and dispersed the divine thunder in the lake, waiting only for Xu Qingyue’s spiritual power to be exhausted before pressing her to return to the city.

It was only the capture of a pampered Holy Land’s young lady, after all. Such a simple task, he did not believe that his team of battle-hardened elites could fail.

But surprises always occur when you are most confident, just like no one noticed why the clouds above became increasingly lower, then suddenly enveloped the entire forest in a dense fog, blinding everyone.

“Wind and Clouds into Fog?” A surprised Bu Liunan immediately summoned his spirit, inhaled sharply, and the thick fog covering the forest poured into the Kui Ox’s nostrils like a whale sucking in water. After regaining visibility, he felt the presence of a huge object swiftly moving through the fog.

The Kui Water Yin Thunder rose again, locking onto the position of the large object in the lake and striking it. Thunder boomed, the large object surfaced, but it was not Miss Xu of the Xu Clan – just a large fish.

Turning to the lakeshore, there was no trace of Xu Qingyue to be seen. Bu Liunan’s face turned ashen as he said to the bewildered patrol officers, “Go, back to the city!”

The Wind and Clouds into Fog formation was the Yun Clan’s secret. After the Yun Clan’s fall, the secret passed into the hands of the Xiang Family. If the Wind and Clouds into Fog formation that mysteriously appeared at Bishui Lake was not some scheme by the Xiang Family, then the situation could be much more serious and complex!

He had to go find An Yuanxi for clarity.

…

Bishui Lake Secret Passage

Xu Qingyue had never imagined that the man who had rescued her from the firewood room would save her again, and what she found even more unexpected was that this man, who refused to reveal his name, could actually perform Wind and Clouds into Fog.

So, this should be the legendary Yun Ji, the surviving eldest son of the Yun Clan, right?

Xu Qingyue couldn’t help but speculate in her heart. As a lady from a prominent family who considered Yuanzhou her dream realm, she was as familiar with the legendary tales of the Yun Clan’s merchants as with the back of her hand.

Now, having been saved by the Yun Clan’s direct succession twice, Xu Qingyue felt a strange fondness well up inside her, even her walking posture became more graceful.

However, such a graceful and delicate gait was obviously not fast-paced. Noticing the slower pace of the woman behind him, the man turned back and advised, “We need to move faster. This morning, all the soldiers from the Yuanzhou Security Office will be on standby at the defense post. If the city is sealed off, you’ll definitely not be able to leave!”

Believing she had guessed the man’s identity, Xu Qingyue trusted him greatly and replied softly, “I’ll follow Brother Yun’s lead.”

The man was taken aback, glanced at Xu Qingyue, seemed to want to say something, but merely shook his head in silent refusal to speak and continued to lead the way.

Who could have imagined that beneath Yuanzhou, there lay such an interconnected formation passage. After turning countless corners, the man led Xu Qingyue out of the secret passage and had already reached the outermost periphery of Yuanzhou City.

“Alright, it should be safe here!”

The man with a face as fine as jade stepped out of the passage first, confirming it was safe before letting Xu Qingyue follow. He then took a bag of gold coins from his chest and handed it to Xu Qingyue, earnestly instructing, “Take these gold coins. Though not much, they should be enough for your daily expenses. After leaving Yuanzhou, try not to engage with others unless necessary. The distinct characteristics of the Ten Thousand Dao Sword Intent are too obvious. If you are targeted by the Wang patrol again, I won’t be able to save you.”
