Chapter 975: Sneaking Around

"I didn't expect Lifeless to have someone of your level. You must be the current celestial maiden." Song Chengming's daoist robe was tidy and crafted meticulously down to the buttons.

His stealth outfit has been destroyed by You Ziling so his true appearance was revealed. The guy turned out to be unreasonably handsome with porcelain skin.

She stood there with her evil-subduing sword. Pure daoist energy gathered above her delicate figure consisting of perky breasts and a thin waist.

As she used her sword technique, her daoist robe fluttered to the wind and showed off her amazing figure. Her pants were pale blue and fit tightly to her long legs. However, her pure aura made it hard for people to have dirty thoughts.

"Your sect must be quite capable to produce a disciple like you. Hmm, my reputation will soar if I conquer you." He smiled.

"I'm afraid you don't have the ability." She said as her forehead lit up like a portal.

A green lamp flew out - her personal tenth-ranked spirit treasure. It stopped the incoming swords and forced them back into the sphere.

"Beautiful and dignified, you're exactly my type. Unfortunately for you, I've only used thirty percent of my strength earlier. Now, I will go all out, watch out!"

"Boom!" He smirked and sent out the ten swords again with more intensity, knocking away the lamp.

They surrounded her like snakes. She was fast but the swords were faster. They coiled around her waist, wrists, legs, and one pointed straight at her forehead.

"Benevolence Talisman!" Though she was being imprisoned, she remained calm and blew out a talisman.

It exploded and created a palm strike aiming at her opponent. It contained immense power since it was refined by a paragon, enough to harm a regular Heaven's Emergence cultivator.

Top geniuses always had one or two ace cards in order to help them stay alive.

Others would have been afraid and ran away from the palm strike. However, Chengming became serious and continued forward with the palm strike following him.

Her expression changed, not expecting him to be so brave and intelligent. She begrudgingly dispelled the power of the palm or both of them would die.

"Boom!" It exploded and the shock waves sent both of them flying. Nonetheless, they were strong enough to not suffer grievous injuries.

Chengming used his ten swords like chains and captured her again, raising her off her feet.

He stared intensely at her and said: "Your appearance is immaculate, Maiden. From today henceforth, you're mine!"

The swords coiled around her but didn't hurt her fair skin. Because her robe was being wrapped tightly by the swords, the beautiful shape of her breasts was clearly outlined.

Chengming couldn't bear to kill someone so beautiful. He wanted to conquer her in bed, not on the battlefield.

"I know who you are now, you're from the Yin World." Her eyes remained calm.

"So what if you know? You have lost your freedom and will be a concubine in my palace. The first thing I'll do once we get back is to take you." He said.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, the area to his left had spatial ripples. A white slash came for his throat.

"Who is it?!" However, his spiritual awareness was keen enough. He let go of his sphere and retreated backward.

The blade only left behind a shallow cut on his neck.

Feiyun sighed after failing to decapitate the guy. It would be far harder now.

"Who are you?!" Chengming shouted while being drenched in cold sweats. That blade earlier nearly reaped his life.

He activated his divine intents but couldn't find the opponent's location. Intuition told him that there was another expert hiding in this blood vein.

You Ziling got out of her shackles and grabbed her lamp for another attack.

"Boom!" Chengming couldn't focus on the fight because of the hidden ambusher. He held his strength back in order to deal with any potential backstab.

The distraction left him open. He decided to leave this place right away by flying upward in the air.

Once he was gone, Feiyun finally showed up and opened the pathway to the kingdom, taking in this red spirit vein.

"You again, half-demon. Always sneaking around." You Ziling stared at the large Buddha and Feiyun, looking a bit surprised.

"Yeah, this sneaky half-demon saved your life twice, Maiden." Feiyun wasn't afraid of her attacking him.

She thought that this half-demon was very unlucky. Bad things always happened with him around.

"These Yin cultivators are brutal, nothing good will come if you try to take their targets." She warned, aware that Feiyun would keep going for the other spirit veins.

"Well, the treasures of the world belong to the virtuous, no?" He teased her by putting on a righteous act.

She rolled her eyes, thinking that this shameless half-demon was fearless.

"If you know they're from the Yin World, shouldn't you be off to warn your allies? Or do you want them all to die?" He added.

Her expression soured after being reminded by him. She glared at him once before flying out of the spirit vein.

"They're from the Yin World, retreat." She shouted while floating in the air.

Her allies immediately fled under the protection of the three old daoists. Those from the Yin World were furious by the ambush and wanted to pursue. However, they didn't want to risk losing the veins.

"Nangong Yebai was slain." Xie Xuan said.

"Five veins are taken by those daoists, damn it!" Mu Lingyin's shadow spoke.

An old man in the group shook his head: "No, those three daoists took three. Who took the other two?"

"It must be someone else!" An old man with silver horns narrowed his eyes and unleashed five palm strikes towards the empty abysses, completely flattening them.

"Over there with a stealth outfit, heading south!" A grand wisdom master was able to see Feiyun's figure darting towards the west.

He was an influential figure in the Yin World due to his divining ability. His intelligence was comparable to Lord Canghai of Firmaments.

His heavenly gaze could only barely spot Feiyun's position. This was due to him being alert. Normally, he wouldn't notice the hiding Feiyun at all.

"Whoosh!" He shot out two rays from his eyes. They turned into swords and flew straight for Feiyun.
