Father Niu had left on a long trip, as the delivery date, agreed upon with the Yin Family, was due. Since he still had to visit the Xuan Yuan Family to refine pills, the entire trip would take at least half a month.
Now that the Invincible Sect was without its housekeeper, Shen Ying was completely free to do as she pleased. She had vehemently requested that the number of dishes per meal be increased from six to eight and had just decided to discuss the issue of staff deployment for the preparation of supper and afternoon tea with the chef.
However, Yu Hong suddenly hurried in and handed her a white paper crane."Sect Master, I just found this in the front hall."
"What is it?" Shen Ying took it from her, her curiosity piqued, but the paper crane suddenly flew over to Yi Qing and started circling him.
"It's a messenger paper crane! It seems to be for me." Yi Qing reached out, and the paper crane fell into his hand. Looking at it carefully, he said, "From the pattern on this crane, it should be a message from the Bright Heart Sect."
He immediately made a hand seal and the paper crane turned into a stream of white light, forming the character for "Duel" in the air. A faint killing vibe emanated from it.
"It's an invitation to a duel!" Yu Hong exclaimed.
The next moment, a male voice rang out.
"Having heard of the outstanding skills of the Invincible Sect Master Yi Qing, who has defeated the Yu Family Patriarch, I, your admirer, Fei Yeshu of the Bright Heart Sect, respectfully challenges you to a duel. On this chaotic Immortal's Path, only the strongest should reign supreme. Are you up for the challenge?"
After the voice stopped talking, the white light suddenly transformed and grouped into another line of small characters, detailing the duel's time and venue.
Shen Ying: "..."
Yi Qing: "..."
Yu Hong: "..."
So... who exactly was the one being challenged, the sect master or Yi Qing?
"Master, let me go!" With a serious expression, Yi Qing stepped forward and said, "This challenge venue is only a day's journey away. I'm confident that I can win."
"Oh, but ... "
"It was Master that defeated the Yu family on that day. We can't let this misunderstanding continue among the sects. I'll take this opportunity to clear up the matter."
" ... That's not what I meant."
"I know that Master is worried about me, but if we do not accept, other sects will look down on our Invincible Sect."
"No, no, no, what I mean is ... "
"Please, tell me."
"Could you prepare dinner before you leave?"
"..."
————————
Late into the night.
"Is anybody here? Is anyone here?" Two trembling rabbit demons, walking through the Invincible Sect's mountain entrance, asked in soft yet husky voices.
After a moment, two figures, one red and one green, appeared at the entrance.
Looking at the two eighth-level rabbit demons with a puzzled expression, Yu Hong greeted them with cupped fists, "Brother Rabbits, may I know what brings you here this late in the night?"
"Greetings Miss Hong" Scratching its ears, the rabbit on the left said, "It's like this... while we were passing by the entrance to the Demon Realm, we saw a cultivator break in. We wanted to chase him out, but... he said he knew Miss Si Yu, so we brought him here instead."
"Knows me?" Si Yu repeated, turning to look at Yu Hong with a perplexed expression on her face."Who is it?" she asked the rabbit demons.
The two rabbits quickly moved aside, and Si Yu saw someone lying on the ground behind them. He seemed to have sustained serious injuries, his body was covered in blood and his breathing was almost undetectable.
She went forwards to take a look and her eyes widened in surprise at what she saw."Yin Yuanfei! How did he get such injuries?"
Yu Hong was also shocked. She immediately bent down to examine his meridians. She found that his Golden Core was about to disintegrate, which was why he was in a comatose state.
"That... was not caused by us!" The two rabbits hurriedly explained."We are all good rabbits. He was like this when we carried him in."
Yu Hong nodded. Naturally, she saw that the injuries on Yin Yuanfei were caused by spiritual power. It must have been a cultivator that had injured him. She quickly instructed Si Yu, "Junior Sister, protect his heart meridians with Spirit Qi. I'm going to the back of the mountain to pick some Weaved Rhizomed Spirit Grass!"
"Alright." Si Yu nodded and turned her attention back to Yin Yuanfei, cradling him in her arms. Nodding at the two rabbits, she said, "Thank you both for your help."
"Don't mention it. It's our duty!" Shaking their ears, the two rabbits turned around and flew off. It wasn't until they had flown some distance away that they heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness they hadn't met the Great Immortal.
Si Yu immediately sat down, cross-legged, mobilizing her Spirit Qi to protect Yin Yuanfei's heart meridians. After a short while, Yu Hong returned with the Weaved Rhizomed Spirit Grass, which they then fed to Yin Yuanfei. His Golden Core, which had been full of cracks, slowly started to mend.
Moments later, his eyes moved a little and he came to.
"Si Yu..." Yin Yuanfei was glad to see Si Yu. Then, suddenly, as if recalling something, he asked, "Is this the Invincible Sect? Si Yu... take me to Great Immortal! Take me to her quickly!"
"Sect Master?" Si Yu was puzzled."Why do you want to see Sect Master? How did you get all these injuries on your body?"
"My father, as well as the Yin, Yi and Xuan Yuan Family Patriarchs and all of the Traveling Immortal Uncle-Masters are trapped in the Immortal Ascension Pagoda. Only the Great Immortal... only the Great Immortal can save them!" said Yin Yuanfei, anxiously.
"What Immortal Ascension Pagoda?" Both Yu Hong and Si Yu looked baffled."Who in the Upper Azure World is capable of trapping the three great aristocratic families' patriarchs and traveling immortals?"
"It's..."
"It's my Yu Family!" Before Yin Yuanfei could finish his sentence, a male voice rang out, and suddenly an array formation lit up brightly in front of them. Within moments, a dozen figures appeared before their eyes.
"Yu Haiheng!" exclaimed Yu Hong in a shocked voice. Backing away, she looked incredulously at the man in the center of the array formation.
Yu Haiheng laughed coldly."I didn't expect you two despicable human cauldrons to recognize a Supremacy."
Yu Hong and Si Yu's hearts sank. Raising their guard, they looked at the people in front of them."Why are you here?"
"For that I have to thank Young Master Yin." He smiled and turned his head to look at the severely injured Yin Yuan Fei."Without him leading the way, we couldn't have entered."
Yin Yuanfei's face suddenly turned pale."You... you put a Soul Binding Spell on me!" He exclaimed, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His Golden Core which had shown signs of mending, cracked once again and he fainted.
Si Yu quickly rushed to him, trying to stabilize his heart meridians.
The Soul Binding Spell was a spell that was cast directly on one's soul. No matter where its castee was, as long as the spell was activated, the spell caster would be able to instantly appear at his side. The only downside was that this spell was greatly detrimental to the castee.
"Hmph! Your Invincible Sect destroyed my Yu Family and my millennium cultivation, " Yu Haiheng snarled, his eyes bloodshot and his expression savage. Then, suddenly recalling something, he took a deep breath and said, "If I had not had the protection of my ancestors, my family's status would have declined. This blood feud is so great that only annihilating your entire sect can ease my hatred."
Upon saying this, his eyes turned cold, as he seemed to have exhausted hs store of patience. With a wave of his hands, two Soul Formation cultivators, their bodies ablaze in flames, rushed out and surrounded the two girls.
Si Yu mobilized the her entire body's Spirit Qi, causing her muscles to enlarge and her body to suddenly grow bigger by an entire girth. She struck her fist out, breaking a path through the sea of fire, then turning toward Yu Hong, she said, "Senior Sister, take him away!"
Yu Hong nodded and, carrying Yin Yuanfei, started to back away.
"None of you can escape." Yu Haiheng said coldly. Turning to the other cultivators behind him, he instructed, "Kill them!"
Immediately, a dozen or so Soul Formation cultivators rushed out, and a stream of Sword Qi headed directly towards Si Yu, instantly forcing her to stagger backwards. All kinds of Dharma artifacts were about to rain down on the three of them.
Suddenly, the array formation flashed brightly. In an instant, a defensive barrier array had formed, blocking off all attacks.
"You two little gals, why did you run out..." Feng Ying stopped in mid-speech, stunned by the scene in front of him."Hey, you... are the Yu Family Patriarch!"Wasn't he missing?
[Ding! Found an intruder! Number of people: fifteen! Soul Formation stage! ]
Feng Ying was shocked; fifteen Soul Formation cultivators, was this Yu Family intending to annihilate the Invincible Sect?
"Soul Chasing Tower Master... I'm sorry, but you can only blame your bad luck." Yu Haiheng looked at the surrounding Soul Formation cultivators and instructed, "No one leaves this place alive!"
You asshole!
Cursing silently, Feng Ying quickly contacted his Divine Perception: "System, activate potential!"
[Ding! Successful activation of potential. ]
Feng Ying hurriedly conjured seals with both hands, and at once a stream of water flashed past, and a high-level Soul Confundus Array immediately took shape. The Soul Formation cultivators, who were charging towards them, found themselves attacking empty space, their opponents having vanished.
"Let's go. The Soul Confundus Array can't hold them back for long." Feng Ying looked at the group of men who were now striking out chaotically. Turning around, he lifted the three of them and started flying towards the mountain peak.
The commotion below the mountain had awakened the other six sect members, who had come running out to investigate.
"Senior Sister, what happened?" They crowded around Yu Hong and the others who had just returned.
"The Yu Family Patriarch and a group of Soul Formation cultivators broke into our sect and started attacking!" Feng Ying explained. He turned and walked in the direction of the palace wing."I'm going to call Shen Ying."
Just as he said this, the expressions of the group of worried girls changed. All of them suddenly stood in front of him, blocking his way and shouting in unison, "You can't!"
"Why?" Yin Feng was baffled."There's no way we can defeat those Soul Formation cultivators by ourselves, isn't Shen Ying very powerful?"
"It's now late in the night, she must have fallen asleep, we cannot disturb Sect Master's sleep."
"This is not the time for niceties!" Feng Ying felt that this group of people had gone insane.
"This is a sect rule!" The girls were resolute."Invincible Sect's first rule: No one can disturb Sect Master's sleep, offenders... do so at their own risk!"
"What kind of retarded rule is this?"
"Elder Yi Qing said that no one should violate this rule under any circumstances, not even if the sky is falling!"
"I'm not a member of your Invincible Sect, get out of my way!" Feng Ying was starting to get agitated.
"No means no!"
"You..."
[Ding! Random mission notification: Host, please defend the Badass' sect by yourself!]
Damn!
