Urban Seduction: Housewives Club-Chapter 1359: The Ambush Outside the City
Chapter 1359: Chapter 1359: The Ambush Outside the City
"I can’t leave this place just yet, and since I’ve just broken through, it’s not the right time to weather the tribulation. Let’s save it for later," Ye Lianhua first answered seriously.
Then, she glanced at Ye Fei and instantly put on a shy expression, saying, "Actually, I want to go back with you all. Junior nephew is so amazing, I’ve grown fond of him and can’t bear to part with him."
Ye Fei naturally knew that Ye Lianhua’s sudden "confession" was just another tease. He smiled and said, "That’s easy. I’ll go back and bring Xueqi and Yueryao here right away.
Then I’ll persuade them to accept you as their senior aunt. We’ll have a blast every night, even more fun than the immortals!"
Ye Lianhua had tried to tease Ye Fei several times but never got the upper hand. Now, his straightforward words made her face turn bright red. She waved her hand and said with a huff, "You’re such a little lecher. Senior aunt doesn’t like you anymore. Hurry up and leave, hurry up!"
Ye Fei laughed heartily, and He Musnow and Tang Qinghe couldn’t help but cover their mouths and giggle.
They had come to the residence this time to invite Ye Lianhua to go back with them.
Now that she had broken through and didn’t plan to return for the time being, there was nothing else to do.
After giving her the materials to upgrade her flying sword, the three of them bid farewell and left.
Ye Lianhua, apparently still pouting with Ye Fei, didn’t even see the two good sisters off, though she was reluctant to part with them.
Walking out of the city, the two women released their flying swords. He Musnow still carried Ye Fei as they took off together, heading southwest.
Now that He Musnow’s flying sword had been upgraded, she didn’t fly much faster than before to accommodate Tang Qinghe, whose "cultivation had dropped to the peak of Transformation of Spirit."
After flying for about a hundred miles, Tang Qinghe frowned and said, "Why hasn’t anyone come? Could it be that our plan has been seen through?"
No sooner had Tang Qinghe finished speaking than the three of them sensed two powerful auras appearing from behind, quickly chasing after them. In the blink of an eye, the two figures overtook them and stopped ahead.
"Bu Jingfeng and Zhai Xingzi, it’s you two?" Tang Qinghe frowned again after recognizing the faces of the newcomers.
He Musnow was also very surprised. In the current True Emptiness Realm, although there were ten major forces, these forces were divided into five factions.
The Nuwa Palace stood alone as the most powerful; the Cuiyan Sect and the Qinglian Sect were allies; the Wujin Sect, the Wen Chang Mansion, and the Changge Sect formed a three-way alliance; the General’s Mansion and the Ye Ling Sect were a faction; and the Tianfa and Tian’e Sects, originally one, had split and become enemies but still looked out for each other, forming their faction.
These five factions had a clear hierarchy. Before Ye Fei’s arrival, the Nuwa Palace was the strongest; next were the three-way alliance of the Wujin Sect, the Wen Chang Mansion, and the Changge Sect.
However, in recent years, due to a certain incident, the Wujin Sect and the Wen Chang Mansion had become somewhat estranged. Then came the Cuiyan and Qinglian Sects, which had five Great Perfection cultivators, including a once-in-a-millennium genius.
The General’s Mansion and the Ye Ling Sect had a strong foundation and many peak Transformation of Spirit cultivators, making them roughly equal in strength.
The weakest were the Tianfa and Tian’e Sects, which only engaged in internal strife and never participated in the world’s conflicts, so they coexisted peacefully.
Now, the appearance of these two individuals, Bu Jingfeng from the General’s Mansion and Zhai Xingzi from the Wujin Sect, implied that the Wujin Sect might have abandoned the three-way alliance and joined the General’s Mansion faction.
Moreover, the fact that these two were openly working together to ambush Tang Qinghe meant that they were becoming increasingly brazen. But with the Nuwa Palace still holding sway above them, who had given them the audacity?
These thoughts raced through their minds in an instant. Then one of the two men, the one with a sly grin, laughed and said, "Tang Qinghe, it seems you’ve had quite the luck. You managed to keep your cultivation at the peak of Transformation of Spirit even after being poisoned with the Yang-Devouring Powder. However..."
"However, your luck has run out now!" the other man coldly finished.
He Musnow snorted coldly, "How arrogant. Are you not putting me in your eyes?"
"Dare not, dare not," the sly Zhai Xingzi laughed. "We’ve heard the news that Senior He has advanced to the Great Perfection stage. But what does that matter? If one of us ties you up, the other can quickly kill Tang Qinghe and the young man behind you. Then, with both of us attacking you, even if you’re strong, you won’t be able to defeat us. So, I advise you not to get involved in this mess, lest you get injured and then have to flee, losing your prestige."
From the surface, the sly man’s words seemed reasonable. He Musnow, facing two opponents, would be at a disadvantage. Although the two men couldn’t kill her, the outcome of fleeing now or after getting injured would be the same, so he was quite confident.
However, this was precisely the scene that Ye Fei and the others wanted. Tang Qinghe then followed the script they had planned and said, "Alright, I admit you have a point. I will also persuade Senior Sister Musnow not to make a futile sacrifice for me. But before that, could you tell me why you’ve been so determined to kill me?"
"Ask the King of Hell when you’re underground!" Compared to the sly Zhai Xingzi, Bu Jingfeng from the General’s Mansion was a man of action. Without uttering a single unnecessary word, he directly controlled the flying sword beneath his feet and attacked Tang Qinghe.
Zhai Xingzi also summoned his flying sword in front of him, blocking the air in front of He Musnow to prevent her from helping.
Compared to Zhai Xingzi’s readiness for battle, He Musnow remained calm and continued to stand on her flying sword, coldly watching the opponents.
Bu Jingfeng’s flying sword quickly attacked Tang Qinghe, but she neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, she controlled her flying sword to attack Bu Jingfeng.
The speed of a Great Perfection cultivator’s attack was incredibly fast. Almost at the same moment they struck, the two flying swords hit each other. However, the results were vastly different.
Tang Qinghe, who was supposed to be killed instantly, was unscathed. The flying sword hitting her only produced a "ding" sound. In contrast, Bu Jingfeng, who thought he could easily handle her and prepared to take a direct hit, had his chest pierced by Tang Qinghe’s flying sword, almost destroying his physical body.
"Fooled! Run!" Bu Jingfeng, being a Great Perfection cultivator, immediately realized what had happened. He called out to Zhai Xingzi and began to retreat.
Zhai Xingzi’s movements were also swift.
Although these two were also at the Great Perfection stage, their strength was not on par with He Musnow, who could fight evenly with Yin Hanyan, or Tang Qinghe, who was only slightly weaker than Yin Hanyan. Moreover, now that Bu Jingfeng was severely injured, they fled without any hesitation.
Faced with this situation, the two women were quite helpless. Just as the two men couldn’t defeat He Musnow, now that they were fleeing for their lives, He Musnow and the other woman couldn’t stop them either.
Although just seeing their faces had already achieved their goal, not knowing the other side’s conspiracy still left them feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
